The aura emanating from the Queen was so overwhelming that even Zhang Tian found it difficult to withstand.
Her demonic energy felt unlike anything that should belong to her, instead resembling the aura of a great demon over a thousand years old.
"Could it be that she is the one who was sealed? But why doesn't it feel like it?"
Zhang Tian frowned slightly.
He had previously speculated whether the Queen was the demon sealed on this level, but later found that the Queen's thoughts and manner of speaking were not like it.
However, looking at her now, Zhang Tian felt that suspicion again.
Despite the terrifying aura surrounding him, Zhang Tian's expression remained unchanged.
The only way to prove whether the Queen before him was the demon of this level was to make a move!
If Zhang Tian could block one of her attacks, he would naturally understand.
However, to Zhang Tian's surprise, the Queen did not seem to attack.
Instead, she looked at him with a hint of astonishment.
"You are not afraid of my aura?"
Her eyes regarded him as if he were a monster.
After all, for thousands of years, every generation of the Qing Qiu royal family possessed a unique temperament.
It was precisely this temperament that allowed them to rule over the entire Qing Qiu.
No fox could endure this aura for five seconds, yet Zhang Tian had succeeded.
He even appeared so at ease.
"This aura does not belong to you in the first place, so why should I fear it?"
"Furthermore, if I'm not mistaken, you only possess this aura but not the corresponding strength, do you?"
Observing the Queen's expression, Zhang Tian had a guess.
It seemed this Queen had likely inherited a certain bloodline, possessing the aura but lacking the corresponding power.
In simple terms, she was an empty shell.
"You!"
The Queen's originally serene face instantly changed color.
It was clear that Zhang Tian had hit the mark.
"Tell me about the royal family of Qing Qiu, generation after generation."
Zhang Tian said, a smile appearing on his face.
The Queen frowned slightly. She was the Queen of Qing Qiu, how could she accept such an impolite demand from an outsider?
"You, an outsider, are making demands of me?"
She said, her expression also turning displeased.
Zhang Tian chuckled freely.
The next moment, a completely different aura emanated from him.
Zhang Tian's aura was like a flood dragon, coiling around them.
After Zhang Tian unleashed his aura, the Queen's expression changed drastically.
Her entire body trembled slightly.
Because she realized that Zhang Tian's aura was even stronger than her own.
"You, who are you exactly! You definitely didn't come here by accident, you came deliberately."
"What is your purpose?"
Her expression shifted.
Almost instantly, the Queen's demeanor and tone changed.
She became somewhat serious and vigilant.
Zhang Tian waved his hand.
"I am just a passing stranger."
"I also want to leave, so just tell me about the history."
Zhang Tian spoke with a calm expression.
Zhang Tian was not speaking carelessly.
He was indeed a pure passerby, who had merely been forcibly brought here by them.
"Hmph."
Having been Queen for so many years, how could she be intimidated by Zhang Tian's aura?
She naturally had her own pride.
The Queen snorted, and something seemed to appear in her hand. Just as she was about to crush it, Zhang Tian waved his hand and snatched it away.
Seeing her small trick fail, the Queen's expression grew even more unpleasant.
She stood up, intending to leave, but found her body pressed down as if by a ton of rocks, unable to move.
"Is he going to..."
The Queen's expression became somewhat contorted. If Zhang Tian were to act forcefully, she wouldn't be able to escape.
Unlike other foxes in the city, the Queen was rather concerned about her chastity.
"How about this, I can agree to go to the forbidden area, but you need to tell me about the matters of the city."
Zhang Tian said after some thought.
When Zhang Tian mentioned the forbidden area again, the Queen's expression showed a hint of emotion.
To be honest, if Zhang Tian's strength could truly enter the forbidden area, he might be able to help them solve their problem.
But could Zhang Tian truly be trusted?
"How about it? You just need to tell me what's going on,"
Zhang Tian said again.
The Queen hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.
"Our Qing Qiu City was founded thousands of years ago."
"And the oldest generation currently alive is my grandmother. Everyone else has long since died due to extreme age."
"Grandmother is now several thousand years old, and her time is likely drawing to a close."
She said, a hint of sadness in her eyes.
She then continued,
"According to legends, our Qing Qiu City was massacred back then, and a powerful expert from our fox tribe sacrificed himself to save all of us foxes."
"And the final homeland was established here. According to legend, the way out is through the forbidden area."
"But every time someone enters the forbidden area, they die, so for thousands of years, the forbidden area has remained a mystery."
The Queen spoke, and Zhang Tian frowned slightly.
As someone observing from a God's-eye view,
Zhang Tian had a rough idea of the problem.
From ancient times to the present, foxes, especially white foxes, have been misunderstood by the common folk.
They were considered demons and bad omens.
Therefore, when people encountered such foxes, they would either flee or kill them, leading to the large-scale extinction of these foxes.
What she was referring to was likely a large-scale attack at some point.
And the sealed entity on this level intervened, killing a large number of humans.
Eventually, she was sealed by the Queen Mother of the West.
This way, things became much clearer.
This place was likely a dimension.
And the way to exit this dimension was the forbidden area she mentioned.
Within the dimension, foxes seemed unaffected by the outside world, which is why they were born directly as humans.
Thinking of this, Zhang Tian had a sudden realization.
No wonder he couldn't find any traces of formations.
Nor spiritual energy.
If this was someone else's dimension, it would make sense.
The spiritual energy produced by one's own dimension could naturally only be used by oneself, unless one deliberately allowed others to use it.
And Zhang Tian, being within someone else's dimension, naturally could not access spiritual energy.
Having figured everything out, Zhang Tian now only wanted to go to the forbidden area.
"Alright, tomorrow we will go to the forbidden area you mentioned."
"But whether we can get out, I'm not sure."
Zhang Tian said.
The Queen's eyes lit up.
She hadn't expected Zhang Tian to actually agree.
"Good."
She nodded decisively.
Zhang Tian also nodded, then waved his hand, and the force pressing on her disappeared.
"Alright, you can go now. We'll set off tomorrow morning."
Zhang Tian said softly.
The Queen looked somewhat confused but still nodded and strode out of the small hut.
At this moment, at the scene,
[Holy crap, can Zhang Tian do it?]
[He doesn't want what's offered?]
[Not taking what's offered is a grave offense, sticker.]
[The ones before, this isn't a brothel, we're about positive energy.]
[By the way, will Zhang Tian get another dimension soon?]
Countless people at the scene were discussing.
Seeing Zhang Tian let the Queen go, they were all pumped up.
And on the judges' bench,
Fatty and the others looked at Zhang Tian.
"Boss, so you got your other dimension from here? Fatty hasn't even been inside."
Fatty's eyes gleamed.
Zhang Tian touched his cheek.
Since he obtained the dimension, no one had known about it, as the contents within were unsightly.
Especially for Fatty, if he were to go in, wouldn't that...
The consequences were unimaginable, it was indeed better for him to appreciate it himself.
