The next day, the entire Qingqiu Mountain Range was in an uproar.
Yesterday it was the Qingqiu Demon Sect, and today it had been rebranded as the Jumang Demon Sect.
Even more shocking was the alliance between the Chilian and Jumang tribes, who had surrounded the territory of Tu Shan.
The entire Tu Shan demon clan was in a state of panic, realizing that the Qingqiu Demon Sect was about to undergo a drastic change. If things went wrong, the Tu Shan lineage might face the disaster of extinction.
Inside the ancient hall, Tu Shan Mingyue and the Seven-Tailed Celestial Fox were completely distraught.
Before them lay a small ball of dim, lusterless fox fire, like a candle in the wind, seemingly on the verge of extinguishing at any moment.
This was the innate fox fire, intimately connected to Tu Shan Shushu's life, indicating that Tu Shan Shushu's condition was dire, her life hanging by a thread.
"I will gather all our clansmen and fight to the death against Jumang and Chilian. They have captured our clan leader to force us to hand over all our wealth. Their ambitions are as clear as day; they clearly intend to annihilate the Tu Shan clan."
The Seven-Tailed Celestial Fox's eyes were bloodshot with rage.
She knew very well that if they meekly surrendered their clan's immortal crystals and treasures, not only would Tu Shan Shushu not be saved, but they would also have no way to survive.
Tu Shan had reached a critical juncture; now, their only option was to fight to the death.
"No, we will comply with their demands."
Tu Shan Mingyue cradled Tu Shan Shushu's ball of innate fox fire and said, "Let's pretend to submit for now and stall them. I will sneak out to seek help from Young Master Ji. He can definitely save our clan leader and rescue our Tu Shan."
"Mingyue, at a time like this, you truly believe that pretty boy surnamed Ji?" the Seven-Tailed Celestial Fox questioned.
Tu Shan Mingyue nodded solemnly, "Young Master Ji will surely be able to turn the tide."
"Then let's take a gamble."
The Seven-Tailed Celestial Fox gritted her teeth and finally made up her mind, "If that Ji Mo can truly save our clan leader, then our entire Tu Shan will belong to him from now on."
...
Ji Hanhan was sound asleep.
He had stayed up late talking with Chi Qingying last night, only falling asleep very late, and was now catching up on sleep as the sun was already high in the sky.
From Chi Qingying, he had learned much about the past of the Great Immortal Kongxu.
He had also confirmed that the Great Immortal Kongxu's sword was indeed called Xuanyuan, and its appearance and characteristics were identical to the Xuanyuan Divine Sword in Chinese mythology.
This meant that the so-called myths and legends might not be entirely fictional, and a significant portion of them might actually be true.
Upon reaching this conclusion, Ji Mo felt indignant, as if he had been treated unfairly.
Why did the Great Immortal Kongxu start with the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, while he only received a scammy system, which was utterly ridiculous.
In his sleep, electric currents flowed through Ji Mo's body, making crackling sounds.
This was the system, sulking and secretly electrocuting this simpleton.
"Scammy system? You dead simpleton, compared to the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, my origin is beyond your imagination."
The system, after exerting all its might to unleash a barrage of electricity, was frustrated to find that its Nine Heavens Divine Lightning seemed unable to electrocute this simpleton anymore.
It had to admit that Ji Mo's growth rate had far exceeded its expectations.
"You dead simpleton, perhaps you truly can turn the tide and become the final hope."
The system stopped bothering Ji Mo and fell silent.
Not long after.
The slightly ajar window was pushed open, and Tu Shan Mingyue jumped in.
After several twists and turns, she had finally managed to arrive here.
"Young Master Ji, save us!"
Finding Ji Mo still fast asleep, Tu Shan Mingyue walked to the bedside and nudged him, trying to wake him up.
However, the residual aura of the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning on Ji Mo directly caused Tu Shan Mingyue's body to go limp, and she collapsed onto the bed, coincidentally landing on top of Ji Mo.
Ji Mo woke up with a start, and upon opening his eyes, he saw a delicate little face, which startled him into clutching the blanket tightly.
It was too terrifying. He was just sleeping, and if he had woken up a moment later, he might have lost his virginity.
Weren't the celestial foxes of Tu Shan said to be shy and reserved? Why was she so forward?
Tu Shan Mingyue's face was flushed and alluring. She struggled to get up and quickly explained her purpose.
Then, she produced Tu Shan Shushu's ball of fox fire and pleaded, "Young Master Ji, as long as you can rescue our clan leader, Tu Shan is willing to pay any price."
Ji Mo's mind conjured the exquisite beauty of Tu Shan Shushu, and he decisively agreed to help.
No matter what, he couldn't bear to see such a lovely girl get hurt, especially since he had shamelessly kissed her before.
Without delay, Ji Mo took the fox fire and acted.
This ball of fox fire would guide him to Tu Shan Shushu's location.
In a dim stone prison.
Tu Shan Shushu was bound by four iron chains, firmly locked to a stone pillar.
Her condition was truly terrible. Her breath was faint, her body was still bleeding, and her starry eyes had lost their luster.
Tu Shan Shushu was filled with despair, knowing that she was unlikely to escape death, and the Tu Shan clan was also on the verge of a catastrophic disaster.
She was filled with unwillingness but was powerless.
"Tsk tsk, pure and chaste, peerlessly beautiful, hailed as the most beautiful woman of Tu Shan in ten thousand years, Tu Shan Shushu. To think you've fallen to such a state."
An incredibly flippant voice rang out, and footsteps approached from a distance.
Chi Mang strode up to Tu Shan Shushu and gazed at her perfect face and exquisite figure. His scarlet eyes gleamed with greedy malevolence.
He chuckled lewdly, "Tu Shan Shushu, as long as you submit to me, I will find a way to save your life."
"Pah!"
Tu Shan Shushu glared at Chi Mang, refusing to agree.
"You have spirit, I like that. Remember a few years ago, I came to propose, asking for Tu Shan Mingyue to be married to me. Not only did you flatly refuse, but you also called me a toad wanting to eat swan meat, foolishly delusional. Who knew heaven was so kind to me, giving me the chance to taste you. Tu Shan Mingyue is nothing; you are the one I have always desired. The humiliation you gave me back then, I will repay a hundredfold today."
Chi Mang laughed wildly, brazenly appraising Tu Shan Shushu and swallowing hard.
The thought that he would soon possess this woman made him tremble with excitement, his breathing quickening.
"You dare..."
Tu Shan Shushu's eyes widened in panic. She had no strength to resist now and could only let Chi Mang do as he pleased.
The thought of her purity being defiled by such a disgusting scumbag made her tremble with fear, on the verge of fainting.
"Heh heh, you ask if I dare? They say a forced melon isn't sweet, but a forcefully taken beauty... the taste must be exquisite."
Chi Mang sneered and impatiently began to unbuckle his belt.
"You bastard, I'm being bullied, and you're not coming..."
Tears slowly streamed down Tu Shan Shushu's face.
At this moment, Ji Mo's figure appeared in her mind.
"How laughable. Even now, you're still foolishly hoping someone will come to save you."
Chi Mang had already removed his upper garment and was rubbing his hands together, about to pounce on Tu Shan Shushu.
Tu Shan Shushu's face, however, shifted from despair to joy. A bright light reflected in her clear pupils, and a smile of tearful happiness flowed out, "You damn scumbag, you're finally here."
