Mortal Mage

Wang Wan'er felt relieved when she heard Hua Yu's words of comfort, but she still asked with a worried tone, "I'm afraid of him..."

"There's nothing to be afraid of. If he really encounters a dangerous situation that even the demon slaves can't protect him from, we will be no match for him."

Hua Yu looked nonchalant. She took out a sound transmission jade slip from the storage bag at her waist and said to it, "Zhang Mingxuan, if you are still alive, just say something." As she spoke, she held the jade slip in her hand and pointed to the two babies in the arms of the palace maids behind her. She continued, "Look carefully, this one is your crown prince, and this one is your little princess. Next year, they will be able to call you father."

After capturing the image, Hua Yu injected Qi from her fingertips into the jade slip, and the jade slip turned into starlight and dissipated.

The initial realm of Tao.

"Zhang Mingxuan, if you are still alive, please reply."

A clear sound was coming from the jade slip in Zhang Mingxuan's right hand.

He had just put the two jade slips of sound transmission on his left and right into his ring, closed the cave door, and walked back to his cushion.

His gaze lingered on the appearance of the two children in the jade slip for a moment, and a trace of relief appeared on his face.

"Why doesn't the master reply to these jade slips?"

Zhang Mingxuan's thoughts were interrupted by Huo Feng. A sad look appeared on his face. After a moment of silence, he laughed dryly and said, "My spiritual roots are rotten, and my talent is not that good. I don't want to cause trouble for them."

"The formation diagram has been leaked." Zhang Mingxuan's voice gradually became low, and he forced a smile. "If a 'burden' like me gets them into trouble again, I'm afraid everyone will have to change from 'cultivating immortals' to 'escaping'." Zhang Mingxuan took a last look at the sound transmission jade slip in his hand, reluctantly put the jade slip into the storage ring, and looked at Hao Fen. "I don't want to be a 'roadblock' on their road to cultivation. Even if Cuiyun's people get the formation diagram, I'm afraid they won't let me go easily." His voice was resolute. "It's best to be alone and free of worries."

He spread out a square piece of yellow silk on the table, on which many runes flickered faintly.

This was a semi-finished teleportation flag that he asked Shi Manman to make for him before he left Canglang.

The reason why it was a semi-finished product was because he didn't want to leak the formation diagram of the teleportation flag.

He can deploy the remaining few key low-level runes and activate the teleportation flags by himself.

He spread out the silk, raised his hand and made a finger gesture above the silk, and light immediately flashed above the silk.

He took out the six jade slips of immortal skills that he had cracked before from the storage ring, and also took out a jade slip for sound transmission. He used his spiritual power to bind the jade slips of skills and the jade slip for sound transmission together, and then threw them into the center of the silk.

The runes on the silk lit up layer by layer from bottom to top, and after a low "buzzing" sound, the jade slip disappeared.

"Master just said he had no worries, and then he sent back six immortal skills. He really said one thing and meant another."

"It's one thing to say, one thing to do. How can they all be the same?"

Zhang Mingxuan heard this and stared at the runes on the teleportation flag. He waited until the runes were completely extinguished before putting the teleportation flag into his ring. A hint of joy gradually appeared on his face and he looked at Hao Feng; "Do you understand?"

"I understand." Hao Fen said jokingly; "The master just wants to show off that he is both mysterious and useful. Even if his cultivation is low, he can break the immortal skills." Hao Fen's eyes flashed with a hint of mischief, and the corners of his mouth raised an alluring arc, and he whispered; "The master wants to appear to be hidden and unfathomable."

Hao Xian got down on her stomach, raised her buttocks, and crawled towards Zhang Mingxuan step by step. Her tone became playful. "Master, you can decipher these jade slips. I am impressed by you, Master."

"Cough cough."

Zhang Mingxuan was caught off guard by Haofen's sudden teasing. He coughed dryly and moved his butt on the futon. "Haofen, don't do anything stupid."

He was extremely embarrassed as the fox demon saw through his thoughts.

Hao Fen refused to give in and continued to tease in a gentle voice: "Master, I am your slave, but I am more than just your slave." After she finished speaking, Hao Fen was wrapped in starlight and turned into a white fox and flew into Zhang Mingxuan's arms.

Zhang Mingxuan held the white fox in his arms with a complicated expression on his face.

He knew that there was a hint of teasing in Hao Fen's words, and he could also feel the dependence of Hao Fen's soul on him. He knew that she had no ill intentions. After thinking for a moment, he came to his senses and asked, "You want me to help you find a sorcery? A magic spell?"

Hearing this, the white fox had a hint of triumphant smile in its eyes, and its body was shining with starlight. It suddenly turned into a human form, and with its naked, flawless snow-white body, it nestled in Zhang Mingxuan's arms, put its arms around Zhang Mingxuan's neck, licked Zhang Mingxuan's ear with its red lips, and gently touched Zhang Mingxuan's brow with its slender index finger.

A picture suddenly appeared in Zhang Mingxuan's mind.

Next to a well in a mountain village, there was a mountain of fox corpses. Around the corpse of Hao Fen, many disciples dressed in the uniforms of the Xianyuan Sect, the Fuyao Sect, and the Shouyun Villa were holding daggers and skinning the piles of foxes. On a bonfire nearby, rows of fox corpses were being roasted.

Seventy or eighty young women with fox ears and tails were tied up next to the pile of fox corpses. The white gauze clothes of these fox women had been stained red with blood. Their eyes were filled with tears. They looked pleadingly at the monks who were peeling the fox skins, but all they heard was cold and ruthless ridicule.

In a thatched house, a muffled "bang" was heard, and a thin and delicate fox girl was kicked out of the room.

The fox girl was covered in blood and sweat.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this fox demon is indeed psychic and sensible."

A monk then walked out of the hut.

"How is it?"

"It's not that bad. It's extremely comfortable, but it does hurt my energy. I'd better not do it... No, it's better not to do it."

"Tsk tsk, you are taking advantage of me."

"Tsk, I lost a year's worth of cultivation. These beasts can only take the demon elixir's fur."

As soon as he finished speaking, the monk cut off the woman's head with his sword without hesitation.

In an instant, the female brother turned into a fox corpse with its body torn apart.

The man picked up the fox's head and held it in his hand. There was a "bang" sound, blood splattered, and a black demon pill appeared in his hand.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, how could you kill your mount? That's really treasonous..."

Another monk at the side joked.

The other cultivators were slightly stunned and did not react why the fox demon woman became his mount. But then they all burst into laughter.

Around, a monk threw a talisman into a litter of newborn foxes. The talisman burst into flames, and the fox cubs' bodies twisted in pain in the flames. Their skin was quickly burnt, and screams echoed all around. The air was quickly filled with a pungent burnt smell, which was chilling.

And this behavior seemed to be just a routine for this disciple.

Elsewhere, many disciples gathered in a circle, shouting excitedly, watching as some disciples used their spiritual power to cruelly peel off the fox girls' snow-white skin alive and peel off their flesh.

The bloody scene and the sound of flesh being torn apart are nauseating.

The surroundings were filled with the screams of fox demons and the laughter of disciples of the sect.

The bodies of the fox girls were lying all over the ground, blood was flowing like a river, creating a desperate hell scene.
