Chapter 102 A dead fox is still a fox

The guard at the side took the fur offered by Bigan and presented it to Emperor Xin.

Emperor Xin took it in his hand and looked at it inch by inch.

There is a glow on it and it feels soft and delicate to the touch. It is truly the best fur in the world.

Emperor Xin did not want to see it himself, but wanted to show it to the high priest of the Shang Dynasty who was standing next to him.

Let Su Daji confirm it carefully.

Is this one of her people?

He still remembered that Su Daji conspired with him to assassinate Emperor Yi in order to help her people gain a foothold in the Shang Dynasty.

But after achieving his goal, he invited Su Daji to continue to assist him as queen.

Unexpectedly, he rejected it.

Not being able to take such a beauty into his possession was undoubtedly a provocation to him as the Emperor of Man.

Now this fox fur should wake up Su Daji and make her respect him.

Let her understand that without power in this land, she still cannot protect her own people.

In order to take revenge, she will inevitably choose to devote herself to him.

He suppressed the joy in his heart and asked, "Uncle Wang, where did you get these furs from, and why do they look so extraordinary?"

Bigan laughed and said, "There are fox demons occupying Xuanyuan Tomb recently. I am afraid they are plotting against our Shang Dynasty, so I sent Qigong practitioners to exorcise the demons. These furs were obtained from the fox demons."

Su Daji was trembling more and more violently. Under her white robe, she bit her red lips hard with her pearly teeth, and streaks of blood flowed down her chin.

The huge hood covered her face, but no one noticed this abnormality.

Except Emperor Xin.

"what!"

Emperor Xin pretended to be displeased: "Why didn't your uncle tell me about this? Did you wipe out all the foxes there?"

Bigan confessed his guilt: "Reporting to the king, hundreds of demon foxes have escaped. At the same time, most of the demon foxes we caught were only taken from their belly fur, and they were not killed directly. These fox demons have high cultivation levels, and their fur will grow again. When they grow back, they can make another set of fur for the king. The blood of these monsters is also a good material for refining pills and drawing talismans."

thump~
Emperor Xin slammed the armrest beside the throne heavily, making a muffled sound that echoed in the hall.

His angry voice rang out: "The fox demon in Xuanyuan Tomb is a member of the clan of an old friend of mine. Uncle Wang's actions have put me in an unjust position. What do you want to do?"

Bigan prostrated himself on the ground, his mind clear.

Just as the old ancestor Caiyun said, Emperor Xin was bewitched by the fox demon, so he made such a ridiculous national policy.

His actions of razing the Xuanyuan Tomb, capturing many fox demons and collecting their furs were all to test Emperor Xin.

Now it seems that what Patriarch Caiyun said is absolutely true.

"Those who are not of our race must have different hearts. Your Majesty, please think twice about prohibiting human sacrifices."

"Think twice? Uncle Wang is very smart and should understand that after we stop offering human sacrifices, the people of Yin Shang will be strengthened, which is a great benefit. Don't mention it now. After curing the fox demons you caught, release them back to Xuanyuan Tomb."

Bigan suppressed his reluctance and could only bow his head and thank Emperor Xin for his kindness.

At the next morning court session, Emperor Xin casually asked about Wen Zhong and Bei Yi's preparation progress, the development of the ancient Shu land, and the performance of the recently added Qi Refiners in Chaoge City.

In the end, he urged Wen Zhong to set out as soon as possible to pacify Beihai, because Yuan Futong kidnapped Weizi Qi and established himself in the northern border, calling himself Beishang.

After Emperor Xin banned human sacrifices, the princes around the northern border gradually turned against him.

Things are getting out of control now.

After leaving the court.

The ministers left.

Su Daji could no longer contain her grief, and hurriedly opened the box and took out the furs.

Her heart was filled with resentment. She had done nothing wrong, but her people still suffered an unprovoked disaster.

I originally thought that by bringing my people to Jambu Continent, they could live and reproduce in peace.

However, the greedy humans peeled off his skin and made furs into gifts to Emperor Xin in order to please him.

Emperor Xin’s reaction also made her feel sad.

She helped Emperor Xin ascend the throne, but Emperor Xin only secretly allowed her people to reproduce in Xuanyuan Tomb.

But he did not tell the world not to harm the foxes in Xuanyuan Tomb.

It can be said that the current tragedy is also related to Emperor Xin.

A big hot hand covered Su Daji's thin shoulders.

Emperor Xin's voice sounded from behind her: "Be my queen, and my rights will be your rights. From now on, your people will not be harmed."

"I want to die!"

Su Daji gritted her teeth.

Emperor Xin was embarrassed: "Uncle Wang is powerful and has many followers. Since Chaoge became a blessed land of Taoism, there are several immortals living in his house. Even if Master Wen is willing to stand on my side, I cannot directly order the execution of Bigan.

I will have Uncle Wang heal those of your clansmen who are still alive and release them to Xuanyuan Tomb. I will also ask the Qi cultivators in Yin Shang to not attack the fox tribe in Xuanyuan Tomb."

What was more important was that Emperor Xin did not say it, but that the Heavenly Court forces behind him inexplicably withdrew.

This has put him in an awkward situation where he has no one to rely on for the time being, and recently there have been many voices opposing him in the court.

In addition, with the rebellion in Beihai, Wen Zhong will personally lead the army to suppress the rebellion, and his pillar of support will leave Chaoge. This is why he is eager to get Su Daji, whose charm can help him stabilize the court.

At the same time, only by binding Su Daji completely to him can he feel at ease with Su Daji.

Su Daji remained silent. She knew that with her strength, she could only proceed step by step.

"After my people return safely to Xuanyuan Tomb, and the king announces to the world that no harm should be done to the fox demons in Xuanyuan Tomb, I will agree to your terms. Also, I want to go and see my people."

Emperor Xin frowned in thought, then nodded and agreed: "I will send someone to ask Uncle Wang where your people are imprisoned, and then I will send someone to take you to see them."

At this time, Yang Jian was still on his way.

Feeling the vibration of the talisman in his sleeve, he took it out, probed it with his spiritual sense, and checked the message.

Su Daji conveyed the important events that happened in the court today through the talisman.

Wen Zhong will set out soon on an expedition to the North Sea.

All the foxes in Xuanyuanfen were captured by Bigan. Emperor Xin reprimanded Bigan and asked him to release the foxes.

Su Daji also told Yang Jian that she wanted to cooperate with Emperor Xin to gain more power to protect her fox clan.

At the same time, she suspected that Bigan's hostility towards her might be related to the mysterious boy who had appeared beside him before.

Yang Jian frowned.

Su Daji is still of great use to him. If Su Daji wants to assist Emperor Xin and borrow power from him, it will inevitably create various obstacles for Yang Jian to cooperate with him in the future.

More importantly, Fairy Caixia had said before that even though Su Daji's charm was powerful, using it would inevitably cost her life.

Even if Su Daji could overcome the calamity and become an immortal, her life span would not increase at all. Fairy Caixia said that this was the influence of fate.

The only way to solve this problem is the elixir of immortality in the hands of the Queen Mother of the West in West Kunlun.

The Queen Mother of the West is one of the few great masters of supernatural powers since the beginning of time. It is as difficult as ascending to heaven to obtain the elixir of immortality from her.

When Su Daji cooperates with Emperor Xin, she will inevitably continue to use her magic. By the time Yang Jian wants to use Su Daji, the grass on her grave will probably be overgrown.

And Yang Jian's previous investment in Su Daji would turn into a dream and be wasted.

Thinking of this, he could only ask Su Daji to delay as much as possible, and he would be there soon.

As long as he could arrive before Wen Zhong left, he could use the help of the disciples of Jiejiao to get rid of the mysterious boy beside Bigan.

Bigan returned to his mansion.

Without time to rest, he immediately arrived at a small courtyard.

It stinks here and the ground is dark brown.

Bigan had no doubt in his mind that even if the soil here was dug down several meters, it would still be this color, stained with blood.

The walls were lined with iron cages, and the wailing of foxes could be heard from time to time.

Blind foxes were dying in cages.

Their flesh and fur were exposed and their skin and fur were peeled off alive.

People nearby kept dissolving salt soil in water and then pouring it on the foxes.

Suddenly, wailing broke out everywhere.

In the center was a rack with a fox demon nailed on it. All of the fox demon's abilities were restrained and it could only wail helplessly.

A thin figure held a sharp blade and peeled off the fur of the fox in front of him inch by inch. The blood flowed down and formed a pool on the ground.

As the fox demon struggled, the splattering blood was blocked by the thin figure's magic barrier.

He is the ancestor of Caiyun.

A trace of deep fear flashed across Bigan's eyes.

This old man Caiyun is an immortal. His childlike appearance shows that he has attained immortality at a young age, but his mind and character are not at all like those of an immortal who is detached from the world.

After catching these foxes, he took pleasure in torturing them.

The furs previously presented to Emperor Xin were plucked one by one by him.

"Master, I have already presented those fox demon furs to the king as you instructed."

Caiyun paused and looked at Bigan: "Oh, then what?"

"The king asked us to release these fox demons."

"Let them go? I want to make Su Daji feel that life is worse than death. If I let them go, wouldn't that just let these bastards get away with it?"

Caiyun frowned.

Although the fox being skinned was blind, his ears were not deaf.

At this moment, they felt desperate and thought that it was Su Daji who saved them.

"You bully the fox tribe, Su Daji will make you pay the price."

Caiyun's face suddenly turned gloomy, and the knife in her hand flashed with a cold light.

Blood suddenly gushed out of the neck of the fox demon in front of him.

He looked at Bigan and said, "A dead fox is still a fox. Send this fox to Su Daji and say that this is the fox I released."
