Rescuing the Villainous Boss with a Little Dirty Master

At the Miqing Sect, Bai Jinghe and three clansmen had just arrived at the sect. Upon hearing the disciple's announcement, Bai Chengzhou immediately set off down the mountain to personally welcome them.

"Elder Bai, you actually came out of seclusion in person."

Bai Jinghe walked towards the main peak with a gloomy face, sneering, "If we don't come out soon, the Nine-Tailed Fox will be completely lost."

Bai Chengzhou hadn't been treated like this in a long time, and his expression turned rather unpleasant.

"That snake demon named Gao Li stole the fox tail; I wonder what he intends to do with it. Elder, could you tell me what other uses the fox tail might have that warrants such a fuss?"

Bai Jinghe glanced at him, his tone cold and deep, "The most important thing right now is to retrieve the fox tail, not to pry into our clan's secrets."

"Elder Bai, we just want to consider Gao Li's motives in order to resolve this matter more quickly. We are not interested in the secrets of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan."

Just then, the group returned to the main hall. Bai Jinghe glanced around at the leaders of various sects stationed at the Miqing Sect and snorted coldly, "Can you guarantee that these people don't have other intentions?"

Bai Chengzhou was about to argue further when he was interrupted, "Alright, I didn't come here to argue with you about these things. Quickly tell me the details of how the fox tail went missing."

Bai Chengzhou choked and had no choice but to put it aside for the time being and recount what he had learned during this period.

Upon hearing that Gao Li had carried out a massacre in the territory suppressed by Fox Tail, Bai Jinghe's gaze instantly turned sharp, and a ferocious fox-like appearance faintly emerged.

Bai Chengzhou suppressed his shock and said in a deep voice, "The place where the remaining fox tails are located has now been under our strict protection. The demon king of the demon race has also gone to track down Gao Li's whereabouts."

Bai Jinghe stared at the map suspended in mid-air for a long time without saying a word. After a while, he glanced at the clansmen beside him, then sat down cross-legged, and several clansmen sat around him to protect him.

Bai Jinghe closed his eyes and focused his mind, rapidly forming hand seals while muttering to himself. A ball of white light quickly rose from his fingertips, completely enveloping him.

After a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes. The scene before him was no longer the Miqing Sect, but a dark place.

The white light surrounding him dispelled the darkness beneath his feet, though a few steps ahead remained thick black. Relying on his senses, he ignored the oppressive feeling of the darkness and strode off in one direction.

He didn't know how long he had walked when a faint light appeared before him, the same light that Bai Jinghe possessed. He strode forward and saw a white fox lying on the ground, its tail drooping limply. It was supposed to have nine tails, but now only six remained.

Bai Jinghe knelt down on one knee, touched the fox's forehead with his fingertip, and infused it with a trace of life force, waking the white fox.

"Elder, what's wrong...?"

When Bai Xi woke up, she saw the person squatting in front of her with wide-open eyes. Bai Jinghe's appearance meant that things were out of control...

She struggled to her feet, her head bowed, "It's my fault for being incompetent and failing to protect this place."

Each of the nine formations in the human territory is guarded by a nine-tailed fox, who must infuse the formations with life force every day. Bai Xi was sent here five hundred years ago.

Several days ago, she was casting a spell here as usual, but was suddenly attacked by the formation. Although she managed to escape in time, she was still seriously injured.

As she was trying to heal her wounds, several demons suddenly stormed in and disrupted the formation. Outnumbered, she was forced back and could only watch helplessly as the leader removed Bai Xin's tail. She still remembered the demon's sinister and ruthless voice at that moment.

"You should all experience the pain of losing your tail."

Her tail was severed during the struggle, and she barely escaped with her life by fighting desperately.

After the demons left, this area was plunged into complete darkness. Black energy continuously overflowed from the destroyed formation, and everything in its path fell into a deep slumber.

Bai Xi returned to the formation and personally plugged the breach, continuously drawing upon her life force to suppress the leakage of black energy, but she could only slow its spread. Now, her demon core had developed cracks, a sign that her life force was about to be exhausted.

And she is about to fall into a deep sleep.

Bai Jinghe stood up and looked around at the darkness.

"Bai Xi, this place is already a dead end. You shouldn't waste your life force. Now you are of no value to the Nine-Tailed Clan."

Bai Xi looked up at Bai Jinghe in astonishment, not asking what he meant by "worthless," but rather expressing surprise, "A dead land? But I can sense that the people here are still alive."

Bai Jinghe glanced at her with lowered eyes, his figure gradually disappearing, leaving only the words, "Living is useless, what difference is there between living and dying?" in the air.

Bai Xi stood there, stunned. What did it mean to be useless? But no one could answer her anymore.

She curled up on the ground, continuing to release her faint life force little by little. Her consciousness gradually faded, and darkness almost engulfed her, but it was still blocked by those faint lights.

Inside an inn in Lingcheng, Jiang Heng suddenly clutched his chest, the intense pain causing him to bend over. He Wanglan was startled by his action and quickly put one arm around him while checking his condition, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong.

"what happened to you?"

Jiang Heng bit her lower lip tightly, curled up in his arms, and endured the sudden, sharp pain. Tears welled up in her eyes and quickly soaked He Wanglan's clothes.

He Wanglan's heart clenched. He tried to channel demonic energy into Jiang Heng while feeding him flower dew, but Jiang Heng wouldn't open his mouth.

When the pain subsided, he leaned weakly against He Wanglan's chest and pushed away his fingertips, which were covered in flower dew.

"I am fine."

Seeing his tear-streaked face and slightly red and swollen eyelids, 886 anxiously darted out of its consciousness space and circled around him. It had just tried to examine Jiang Heng as well, but found nothing wrong.

Jiang Heng lowered her eyes to look at the storage bag hanging at her waist, took out a communication talisman and tried to contact Jiang Yu.

No one spoke from the other side, and Jiang Heng's heart pounded, her unease growing stronger.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the other side.

"Good boy!"

"Father, where are you now? Are you alright?"

Jiang Heng stared intently at the communication talisman in her hand, and then heard Jiang Yu report her location without the slightest hesitation.

After the communication was cut off, Jiang Heng looked up at He Wanglan, his eyes brimming with tears again, but he couldn't control them. The unease came inexplicably, as did his emotions, as if his body had its own consciousness.

"Something might have happened to my mother."

He Wanglan wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and without doubting his words, patted his head to comfort him, "Can you sense her location?"

Jiang Heng shook her head, somewhat dejected.

He Wanglan looked at the storage bag at his waist and tried to extract the remaining aura from it, but because too much time had passed, he could only extract Jiang Heng's aura.

Jiang Heng held the ginger-yellow storage bag, his fingertips rubbing the little fox embroidered on it as he pondered. After a moment, he looked up at He Wanglan, his eyes brightening slightly.

"She said before that the mission of the Nine-Tailed Clan is to protect this continent. If something happens to her, it will definitely not be in the clan. Perhaps she is also among the human race, and in the place where the Nine-Tailed Clan is suppressed."

"Then let's search in this direction."

Now that the nearest place to the city of Lingcheng is only a thousand miles away, they did not linger and set off immediately.

Meanwhile, Gao Li was also rushing to another place of suppression.
