“My mother is the Chieftain of the Azure Fox Clan, but she has been unwell recently and has been in seclusion for healing. She is unable to greet the two of you, please forgive us,” Ye Susu said apologetically when she noticed Han Li was somewhat distracted.

“It’s no matter. We came to Azure Fox City, and we should pay respects to the host. Since she is in seclusion, we won’t disturb her. Azure Fox City has unique scenery, I wonder if we could trouble Fellow Daoist Ye to show us around?” Han Li said, returning to his senses.

“Of course,” Ye Susu happily agreed, dismissing Ye Ping and the others, and flew towards the city with Han Li and Ti Hun.

Azure Fox City has an area of ​​thousands of miles. Although the terrain is basically flat, there are several rivers and some low mountains. In addition, there are many trees here, and it is lush and green everywhere, and the scenery is very good.

Unknowingly, the sky darkened.

Ye Susu led Han Li and Ti Hun to the center of the city, where a large palace stood.

This palace covers an area of ​​about two to three hundred acres, and is also built of wood. In addition to being majestic, it also gives people a sense of delicacy.

In front of the palace, there is a statue of a cyan giant fox roaring to the sky, carved from a kind of cyan jade, hundreds of feet high, with nine long fox tails behind it, which looks extraordinarily spectacular.

“This palace is called Tian Hu Palace. It used to be the residence and meeting place of the Azure Fox Clan Chief,” Ye Susu introduced.

"Tian Hu Palace? Your clan is called the Azure Fox Clan, why isn't it called Qing Hu Palace?" Han Li asked with a thought.

"The name of this palace was determined by our ancestors, and I am not very clear about it either," Ye Susu shook her head and said.

Han Li said "Oh" and did not delve into the matter.

“There are also several quiet courtyards next to Tian Hu Palace, which are used to entertain distinguished guests. It’s getting late today, Senior Han and Fellow Daoist Ti Hun should rest here. I will come to visit you tomorrow.” Ye Susu said, leading the two to a quiet courtyard nearby.

"Thank you," Han Li thanked.

Ye Susu summoned two Azure Fox Clan attendants to guard outside the courtyard before leaving.

Han Li watched the woman leave, his eyes flickering slightly, and then he took Ti Hun into the courtyard.

Inside the courtyard, small paths are paved with blue bricks. On both sides, there is a flower garden on the left and a clump of bamboo on the right. The night breeze blows, and the flowers and bamboo branches sway gently, and the fragrance floats, which is very quiet.

Han Li nodded in satisfaction, came to the main hall and sat down, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Master, are you planning to stay in this Azure Fox City for seclusion?" Ti Hun walked over and asked.

“Why do you think so?” Han Li raised his eyebrows, and asked in reply without committing himself.

“If not, with your style, Master, it would have been enough to save Ye Susu before. You wouldn’t have consumed your vitality to help her cultivate, and you wouldn’t have come here with her. Moreover, you just asked Ye Susu to take us to visit various places. Isn’t it to investigate the situation of this city?" Ti Hun blinked her big eyes and smiled mischievously.

"The Azure Fox Clan is an inconspicuous small clan in the Jin Yuan Mountain Range, and it is located in a remote area, which is a good hiding place. I carefully investigated various places in this city just now and found no danger," Han Li said, giving Ti Hun an admiring look.

"That's great, but how to stay is a problem. The Azure Fox Clan seems to be quite repulsive to outsiders. Of course, as long as Master shows a little strength, it will be easy to stay here, but it will taste a bit different," Ti Hun said with a happy expression, and then frowned.

When the two walked in the city before, they had already discovered that the Azure Fox people looked at them with hostility. If Ye Susu had not been there, conflicts might have already occurred.

"You don't have to worry about this, I have my own plans," Han Li said with a smile, looking towards the east of Azure Fox City.

…

Late at night, soft moonlight projected down from the sky and sprinkled on Azure Fox City.

The people in the city were already resting at this moment, and the huge Azure Fox City was quiet.

A cyan figure flew from the city and landed in front of a dense forest in the east of the city, revealing a figure, it was Ye Susu.

At this moment, she changed into a luxurious cyan palace dress, with a cyan jade crown on her head, which made her look more dignified.

In front of the forest, there was also a statue of an Azure Fox, but this statue was only half a person tall, and it was very dilapidated, and there was no spirituality at all. It looked like an ordinary stone sculpture.

Ye Susu, however, had a solemn expression on her face, clasped her hands together, bowed to the Azure Fox statue, then cut her finger and dripped a drop of blood on the statue.

The eyes of the Azure Fox statue suddenly lit up with two constantly changing cyan lights, and merged into the void in front.

The forest in front suddenly trembled slightly, rippling with waves.

Ye Susu's palm also flashed with a bright cyan light, and she probed forward, submerged into it, and then gently pulled.

With a "chi" sound, a gap of about ten feet high was torn out of the void in front.

Ye Susu quickly scanned around, as if confirming that there was nothing unusual in the surrounding environment, then stepped into it, the void crack immediately closed, and the void fluctuations also disappeared immediately.

At this moment, an extremely faint shadow suddenly appeared, and flew into it in a flash before the void crack closed.

Ye Susu felt a flash in front of her eyes, and a basin of tens of miles in size appeared in front of her.

There were not many buildings in the basin, and large tracts of spirit fields were opened up, in which many spirit herbs and medicines seemed to be planted.

However, these spirit fields were surrounded by forbidden light curtains, which blocked the situation inside. Waves of compelling medicinal fragrance permeated from the forbidden light curtains, which made people feel refreshed when they smelled it.

Ye Susu ignored those spirit fields and flew straight forward.

In the void behind, the faint shadow emerged, and the face of Han Li appeared in it. He looked towards the surrounding spirit fields, his eyes filled with surprise.

Han Li was extremely familiar with various spirit herbs and medicines. Just by smelling the medicinal fragrance, he knew that the spirit herbs and medicines planted inside were extraordinary. They were not inferior to the medicine garden in his Flower Branch space. He was secretly shocked.

It should be known that he had spent a lot of effort on that medicine garden, plus the Palm Heaven Bottle, to have its current scale. The Azure Fox Clan was not very strong, yet it was able to cultivate a medicine garden comparable to his.

With a move, he flew towards the spirit fields below.

…

Ye Susu flew forward and soon came to the depths of the basin.

A turquoise pool appeared on the ground, the water waves undulating, emitting a soft water light.

Several cyan boulders were scattered next to the pool. She patted a boulder lightly.

The boulder immediately sank downwards, revealing a dark cave entrance, and a long staircase led to the depths of the ground.

Ye Susu stepped into it and soon reached the end.

A rather large stone room appeared in front of her. Several fist-sized white pearls were inlaid on the top of the stone room, illuminating the place into milky white. The walls flickered with starlight, which looked quite beautiful, obviously with restrictions imposed on them.

A white jade bed was placed in the stone room, and a woman in green clothes was lying on it. Surprisingly, the lower half of the woman's body was sealed by a blue iceberg that was several feet high.

The iceberg exuded a biting chill, and the temperature of the entire stone room was extremely low. Vaguely, icicles appeared in the void, as if they were also frozen.

The woman in green clothes was pale, biting her teeth tightly, and her forehead was faintly visible with veins, obviously enduring great pain.

Beads of sweat the size of beans dripped from her forehead. As soon as they dripped, they were immediately frozen into ice beads.

A woman in a white dress stood at the head of the bed, pressing her hands on the shoulders of the woman in green clothes respectively. Her hands emitted a bright cyan light, which was continuously injected into the body of the woman in green clothes.

The woman in white dress had a huge aura, and she was an Early Stage Gold Immortal.

"Young Clan Chief, you are back." The woman heard footsteps, raised her head, saw Ye Susu, stopped her hand in surprise, and saluted.

The woman in green clothes also opened her eyes and looked towards Ye Susu.

"Susu, you are back." The woman's lips moved, revealing a difficult smile, but her eyes were full of tenderness.

"Mother!" Ye Susu walked quickly to the bed, held the hand of the woman in green clothes, and her eyes became red.

"Good child, Mother...is okay, but the cold air has eroded a little more recently, but with Elder Qiu's help, I can resist it. But you, you went out without permission again, and you have been gone for so long. Where did you go this time? Did you encounter any danger?" the woman in green clothes said softly.

"I went to Jinxi City and traded some things with them. It was a bit dangerous when I returned, when I encountered a few people from the Jin Ma Sect, but fortunately, I met two seniors to help..." Ye Susu concealed most of the facts and briefly recounted the process of going out this time.

In order not to let her mother hear anything different, she explained the affairs of Han Li and Ti Hun in detail.

"What! Young Clan Chief, you actually invited a Human Race cultivator into the Azure Fox City! The others in the clan don't know, don't you know that the Chieftain became like this because of those Human Race cultivators!" The woman in white dress heard this, and her face immediately became frosty and she scolded coldly.

"Elder Qiu, it is true that the Human Race hurt my mother, but we cannot hate all Human Race cultivators because of this. The Jin Yuan Immortal Territory is now the world of the Human Race. If the Azure Fox Clan wants to develop, it must deal with them. Since we are the leaders of the Azure Fox Clan, we must abandon personal grievances and consider everything from the interests of the clan," Ye Susu said with a flash of hatred in her eyes, but it was immediately suppressed by her. She sighed and said.

In the shadows of the passage outside the hall, a blurred figure stood silently, it was Han Li.

He heard Ye Susu's words, and a trace of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

The woman in white dress frowned upon hearing this, and was about to say something more, but was interrupted by the woman in green clothes waving her hand:

"Elder Qiu, let's do it according to what Susu said. Since those two Fellow Daoists have the strength of the Gold Immortal level, if we befriend them, it will indeed be of great benefit to the future development of our Azure Fox Clan. Don't worry too much about my injury back then."

"Since both the Chieftain and the Young Clan Chief say so, let's do it this way," the woman in white dress said silently for a moment, and said lightly.

"Thank you, Mother!" Ye Susu's face lit up when she heard this.
