Moonlight and wind

Qiu Dahong stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, a calculating look in his eyes.

Outside the window, the fiery red fox's tail flame drew a strange arc in the night, reflecting the ambition in his eyes that blazed brightly.

“If I could get this fox spirit root…” His Adam’s apple rolled and he swallowed greedily.

Zhang Yun suddenly slapped the tea table, breaking it into pieces. The porcelain fragments pierced deeply into his palm without him noticing.

"I will kill Shan Zimo tonight!"

Blood dripped down his black iron wristband, creating wisps of red smoke on the blue bricks.

"Brother Qiu, we have been planning for our great cause for decades. Now the opportunity has come. As long as we get the fox's spiritual root, Brother Qiu's martial arts will reach the level of a martial god. Combined with your secret technique to break through the Wuji, you will be the only Wuji in the Wu Kingdom today!"

Wang Tong held his shoulders sinisterly, and the shadow of the window frame cut strange lines on his face.

"Reckless man! The fox is now lying on the lap of the God of War—"

"Silence!"

Qiu Dahong, who always appears gentle, suddenly jumped up and three bone-piercing nails flew out of the window.

On the bluestone floor outside the door, only half of a dead leaf that had been pierced by a nail was still rustling.

At the corner of the corridor ten feet away, Yun Fei's muscles under his brocade clothes were as tense as bowstrings.

He licked the poisonous blade hidden between his teeth with the tip of his tongue. The murderous aura just now made the hair on the back of his neck stand on end.

"Old Qiu... is doing very well..."

The moonlight swept across the purple veins that suddenly appeared on his waist, and then disappeared in an instant.

The Fiery Fox squatted on the rosewood table, fluorescent green flames flowing around it, jumping like a living creature.

The flame was not like ordinary fire. It was neither scorching nor dazzling. Instead, it had a warmness that calmed the mind.

Xuanyue stood aside, gently stroking the fiery fox's back with her slender fingers. The flames were like obedient children, wrapping around her fingertips and then retreating obediently.

"Everyone, please take a look."

Xuanyue's voice was soft, but it was clearly heard by everyone.

She raised her hand, and the flaming fox leaped up, leaving a fluorescent green trail in the air.

The track lingered for a long time, and actually condensed into ancient runes in mid-air, flashing with mysterious light.

A hint of surprise flashed across Shan Zimo's eyes: "This is..."

"This is the legendary 'Spiritual Text Appears in the World'!" Shan Boyu couldn't help but applaud.

Yun Fei came hurriedly, straightened his robe, leaned against the door frame, and chuckled disdainfully.

"You are just a little guard, but you know a lot!"

Xuanyue nodded: "That's right. I have also seen this kind of rune in the notes left to me by my mother. I guess that the Fire Fox is a spiritual creature of heaven and earth, and its healing power can bring the dead back to life. According to ancient records, if you can get its approval, you can even..."

Xuanyue glanced sheepishly at the emaciated general standing beside him, but kept silent.

Shan Zimo and Qu Xuanyue exchanged glances, and Shan Zimo immediately understood what he meant.

Shan Zimo glanced at everyone in the hall, "Since the Fire Fox has such divine power, why not demonstrate its healing power first. General, are you willing to give it a try?"

The withered general slowly approached, and his armor made a dull clattering sound.

The two dark holes in front of his eyes could strangely "see" everything around him.

"I am already dead," the general's voice was like sandpaper rubbing against me. "If I can be cured by this spirit beast, I may be able to regain the lost feeling. Miss Que, please cast the spell."

"Okay." She took a deep breath and was about to channel the power of the Fire Fox when a cold voice suddenly interrupted her.

"Wait a minute!"

He Lingxiao strode forward, his animal skin suit moving without wind.

His face was gloomy, and the flames of hatred burned in his eyes. "Zimo, do you really want this monster to heal a butcher? The crimes committed by the withered people in my Western Regions are too numerous to list! They don't deserve to live, let alone be healed by the Fiery Fox!"

The atmosphere in the lobby suddenly became tense.

Shan Zimo narrowed his eyes and said, "Master He, please be careful with your words. The Fire Fox is a spiritual creature of heaven and earth, not a demon or a monster. As for the generals... they have been punished for secretly practicing forbidden techniques. How about we be good people and help them escape from this sea of ​​suffering?"

"What if Wenxiu's death is related to them?"

He Lingxiao clenched his fists and looked straight at Shan Zimo.

"Wenxiu..." The general squeezed out two words from his dry lips, "I have never heard of this woman's name. I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding here."

"Misunderstanding?" He Lingxiao sneered, "For several years, the withered people have often invaded our Western Regions. Do you know how many disciples of my Dragon Elephant Villa have lost their lives in order to protect the people and resist the withered people?"

The general stood there in silence, with dark mist in his eyes.

Miss Man held his hand, and the pity in her eyes made Xuanyue on the opposite side feel very sad.

Shan Zimo noticed the change in Qu Xuanyue and walked up to He Lingxiao.

"What if I must save him today?"

He Lingxiao looked up at him in disbelief, and after confirming that Shan Zimo was not joking with him, he silently took a step back.

"Then let's confirm it with our fists!"

Towering mountains immediately appeared behind He Lingxiao. Before everyone could react, the blue bricks under his feet suddenly cracked, and the "city-destroying" attack with 100% of his strength was heading towards Shan Zimo!

The scene suddenly became extremely chaotic. Faced with the sudden punch, everyone ran towards Shan Zimo as best they could, hoping to take the punch for Shan Zimo.
