Long River Eternity

When everyone returned to the dormitory, Lin Ding asked in detail about the details of the day when Kuangshi's wife had the accident.

Crazy Lion's voice was filled with helplessness and pain. He slowly spoke, "My wife, Bai Xue, is a white lion in the Heavenly Power Realm. The other day, she received an invitation from Mei Li, saying she had obtained some novel gadgets from humans. Bai Xue usually likes to collect human trinkets and some strange and bizarre black technologies. When she heard that Mei Li had something new, she ran to her territory with joy."

"She usually goes to Mei Li to play and exchange some rare human items. Normally I would accompany her, but that day one of my sons suddenly had a conflict with other monsters outside and was injured, so I had to stay and find out what happened." A trace of guilt flashed in the eyes of the Crazy Lion, as if he was blaming himself for not being able to accompany his wife.

After hearing this, Lin Ding felt a faint sense of conspiracy in his heart. He did not interrupt Kuang Shi and waited quietly for him to continue.

Crazy Lion said that Snow White had set out in the morning, but by the time he finished his business, it was already evening, and Snow White still hadn't returned. Feeling uneasy, he decided to personally go to Mei Li's territory to investigate the situation.

The territory of the Mad Lion is located northeast of Zhongzhou City, while the territory of the Meili is southwest. The territory of the Canghu is northwest, and the couple always chooses to go to the Meili from the south.

Sure enough, on the way, the mad lion suddenly saw Bai Xue lying on the ground, covered in blood, with a long knife stuck in his heart, no longer alive. His heart felt as if it was torn apart, and anger and grief intertwined into a ball of indescribable emotions.

"Are the other wounds on Bai Xue's body caused by weapons?" Lin Ding asked.

"There are marks from weapons, as well as fractures and internal injuries from heavy blows." The Crazy Lion's voice was as low as thunder, and it seemed as if the anger in his heart surged up again when he recalled that scene.

Lin Ding did not continue to ask questions, but motioned for Kuangshi to continue. Kuangshi found that Bai Xue was beyond help and hurried to Meili's territory to find out the truth of the matter.

When he arrived about a dozen miles from Meili's territory, he saw a dozen humans and Meili lying on the ground. His heart tightened, and he rushed forward. He discovered that all the humans had already died, and Meili was seriously injured and unconscious. The mad lion woke her up and hurriedly asked what had happened.

Mei Li's voice was weak and trembling. "Bai Xue was preparing to return in the evening, and I wanted to escort her a little way. Unexpectedly, not far from our territory, we were ambushed by humans. They had set up a trap, and we were caught off guard. We suffered some minor injuries, and our combat effectiveness was affected. After a hard fight, Bai Xue was seriously injured. I had no choice but to cover her evacuation first, while I stayed behind to cover their retreat."

The mad lion's heart was broken. He told Meili that Bai Xue was dead. Meili was immediately distraught and fainted again from the excitement. The mad lion returned her to his territory, then took Bai Xue's body back to his own territory. With the flames of revenge burning in his heart, he vowed to avenge his wife. Then came the invasion of Zhongzhou City.

After listening to Kuang Shi's story, Lin Ding was filled with doubts, feeling that the entire process was filled with unreasonable details. He was almost certain that Mei Li was lying.

Firstly, if humans wanted to ambush, Meili, as one of the three beasts, should be the primary target. They could deal with Meili alone after she separated from Bai Xue, which would have a greater chance of success.

Secondly, even if they wanted to ambush them, they should wait until they were far away before attacking. A distance of more than ten miles, as a Tianji realm monster, can run back in a few minutes, how can it succeed?

Furthermore, since they were so close to Meili's territory, why did Bai Xue choose to run towards her own territory instead of Meili's? This could only mean that she felt that Meili's side was the real danger;

In the end, everything that happened that day happened with such coincidence, as if everything was done to separate the Mad Lion and Snow White, and then deal with Snow White alone.

Lin Ding explained these doubts to Kuangshi one by one, and Kuangshi fell into deep thought. That day, he had witnessed his wife's tragic death and his friend's serious injury. Grief and anger overwhelmed his reasoning, and he could not think about the conspiracy at all. He simply summoned his men and attacked Zhongzhou City.

After the attack failed, all he had left in his heart was resentment and fear of Yang Nian. A few days later, he became Lin Ding's sparring partner again and never thought deeply about what happened that day.

Now, with Lin Ding's reminder, Crazy Lion realized that day was filled with inexplicable details. However, he still couldn't understand. Mei Li and Bai Xue had always had a harmonious relationship. Could it be that, just because of the newly revived spiritual energy, she would use Bai Xue's life to sow discord between herself and humans?

While spiritual energy has a strong appeal to ordinary demon beasts, it is not essential for great demons that have cultivated to the Tianji realm in the nuclear energy system. If they can obtain it, it is basically for their offspring. At least that is what the Mad Lion believes.

"I'm going to find Mei Li and ask her for an explanation right now." The Crazy Lion stood up and prepared to confront Mei Li.

Lin Ding stopped Kuang Shi and said, "Don't be anxious. If you go over now, she will definitely deny everything and alert the enemy. We need to find a way to lure her out and catch her. Then Xianxian will have a way to make her tell the truth."

Crazy Lion said in embarrassment: "Meili is very cunning. Without a good reason, it will be difficult to lure her out. On the contrary, it will make her suspicious."

"A reason that will definitely allow her to come out..." Lin Ding murmured thoughtfully.

"Just say your wife is alive and you want to see her," Wei Wu said.

"Could you please stop making trouble when we're thinking?" Liu Xianxian said as she punched Wei Wu.

"I think it's feasible." Chu Tian said with a smile.

Liu Xianxian looked at Chu Tianxiao in surprise and said, "Have you been too close to Wei Wu recently and got infected?"

"I haven't finished yet." Chu Tianxiao smiled slightly and said, "What I mean is, if Bai Xue's death is really related to Mei Li, then when she heard that Bai Xue was not dead, she would definitely behave strangely and even rush to verify it."

"But Crazy Lion has already clearly told Mei Li the news of Bai Xue's death." Liu Xianxian said.

"That's easy. Mei Li hasn't seen Bai Xue's body in person anyway, so whatever Crazy Lion says is fine." Chu Tian said with a smile, then looked at Crazy Lion, "Just tell Mei Li the same thing when you see her..."

After Chu Tianxiao told Kuang Shi what he wanted to say, everyone discussed other details. By the time they finished discussing, it was already late, so they decided to set off for Meili Territory tomorrow.

The next morning, everyone went to the Meili Territory and arrived twenty kilometers outside the Meili Territory.

The mad lion stopped everyone and said, "Alright, don't go any further. One of the two foxes guarding the gate has excellent hearing and the other has excellent eyesight. They can detect any movement from a few kilometers away."

So everyone fell back to the ground, and Chu Tian smiled and confirmed to Kuang Shi: "Is the speech I told you yesterday okay?"

"No problem, I've remembered everything." Crazy Lion said solemnly.

"Does anyone else have any questions?" Lin Ding asked.

"No." everyone replied.

"Okay, let's get started!" Lin Ding said.

So everyone put on their headphones, dispersed and hid, leaving the Crazy Lion alone to fly into the Meili territory again.

The mad lion flew forward for more than ten kilometers. A gray fox and a red fox flew out of the forest. The gray fox had four ears, and the red fox had four eyes. Both were larger than an adult and were likely at the Jade Eternal Realm.

Gray Fox spoke in a young woman's voice: "Hey, Boss Crazy Lion, how come you have time to come and see our Master Mei Li today?"

"Stop talking nonsense and take me to see Mei Li." said the Crazy Lion coldly.

The red fox was a male fox. He said respectfully, "Unfortunately, our boss has guests here today. Please, Boss Crazy Lion, let me go in and inform them. I'm really sorry."

"A guest? Who?" An ominous premonition arose in the heart of the Crazy Lion.

Red Fox thought for a moment and said, "Boss Canghu."

"Damn it, they picked a really good day." Wei Wu's voice came from Crazy Lion's headphones.

"Why don't you find an excuse to retreat first. Come back next time." Chu Tian said with a smile.

Just as Lin Ding was about to speak, Kuangshi spoke first, "Go in and report. Tell them I have something urgent to do."

"Okay." The red fox turned and left.

Gray Fox looked at Crazy Lion and just as he was about to speak, Crazy Lion angrily shouted, "What are you looking at? Get out of here and do what you need to do."

The gray fox was startled by the sudden scolding of the mad lion. Although the mad lion was not a good person, he was not a moody person. He didn't know why he was so angry today. The gray fox was afraid of angering the mad lion again, so he quickly left in shame.

"Big Cat, calm down. Why are you so angry? At worst, we can just go to war with them." Wei Wu comforted him.

"What Crazy Lion means is that he has his own way, and we just have to act according to the circumstances. Is that right?" Lin Ding said.

The mad lion said "hmm" in a very small voice.

"Oh my god, when did you guys learn the secret code?" Wei Wu asked in surprise.

At this time, the red fox flew back and said, "Boss Crazy Lion, come with me."

So, the mad lion and the red fox continued to fly forward for a while, and finally arrived at Mei Li's residence. It was a high mountain with an altitude of nearly a thousand meters. One third of it was hollowed out to form a huge cave, which was used as Mei Li's residence.

The mad lion was brought to the depths of the cave, where there was a huge platform, like a throne. At this time, the black tiger was lying on the highest point. It was a black tiger even bigger than the mad lion. The hair all over its body flashed coldly like needles, and it had a pair of huge wings on its back.

Mei Li was a snow fox with a snow-white body and seven tails. She was lying on a slightly lower position to the left of Cang Hu, with food placed in front of both of them.

To Cang Hu's right was a sable, a creature the Kuang Shi had never seen before. It was as large as Cang Hu and was sizing up the Kuang Shi with curiosity. Also beneath the platform were a six-tailed black fox and a three-headed hyena. These two were the highest-ranking beings under Mei Li, both in the late Heavenly Power Realm.

There was food in front of the animals, and they seemed to be discussing something.

"Crazy Lion, you've come at the right time. We are planning to attack Zhongzhou City again. You won't refuse this time, right?" Cang Hu's tone seemed to be asking, but it had a domineering attitude that could not be refused.
