The senior sister in front of him was not in good shape, showing clear signs of qi deviation.
"I'm fine!"
"Junior Brother Ye, thank you for pulling me out just now!"
"Otherwise, I might have truly fallen into qi deviation."
"Great kindness needs no thanks!"
The senior sister said bitterly.
"Senior Sister, we need to pull ourselves together. You meditate and cultivate here for a while, and I'll guard you!"
Ye Fei suggested.
"No, it's better for us to find a way out as soon as possible!"
The senior sister shook her head.
"Then as you say, Senior Sister!"
Ye Fei said calmly.
The two then leaned against each other and continued forward.
After passing through a long corridor, a massive palace suddenly appeared ahead.
The ground was paved with white jade, and the interior was adorned with carved pillars and painted beams, exuding immense luxury.
In the very center stood an extremely wide white jade throne.
A flawless white fur rug was spread upon it.
"Why is there a fox's scent?"
Ye Fei frowned as soon as he walked in.
"Senior Sister, I suspect this might be the palace of an ancient demonic beast. We must be extremely cautious!"
Ye Fei said again.
"I understand!"
Despite her words, she was clearly a little flustered inside.
However, at this point, they could only take things one step at a time.
As the two continued forward, searching for a way out within the palace, a ripple suddenly appeared in the air.
"Who is it!"
"Come out!"
Ye Fei's heart tightened, and he shouted sternly.
On the previously empty white jade throne, a handsome man suddenly appeared.
He wore white sleeping robes and sat lazily on the chair.
"Are you the master of this palace?"
Ye Fei retreated, his long sword ready to be unsheathed.
"You two little ones are quite remarkable to have broken through my illusion!"
"Especially you, young man, your cultivation isn't high, but you're incredibly skilled!"
"It was worth my thousand-year wait, finally finding the right candidate!"
As he spoke, the handsome man scrutinized Ye Fei with narrowed eyes.
"Let me guess who you are!"
"If I'm not mistaken, you're a fox demon!"
Ye Fei stated decisively.
"Not bad, not bad, you have sharp eyes!"
"But you're mistaken, I am no ordinary fox!"
"I don't mind telling you, I am from the legendary Celestial Fox clan!"
The handsome man's fox-like eyes cast a charming glance at the two.
"Don't try to charm me, it's disgusting!"
Ye Fei pouted, completely unaffected by his bewitching technique.
This man, who had always had things his way, had now suffered a major setback with Ye Fei!
It was truly bizarre that this person was immune to his techniques!
However, this also proved that his spiritual consciousness was extremely powerful, which made him even more suitable for his requirements.
"Hahaha, let me tell you a cruel truth!"
"Today, neither of you will be able to leave here!"
"Look at these skulls beside me; they belong to arrogant fools who dared to challenge me, utterly clueless about their own limitations!"
The handsome man's expression suddenly changed, and his once handsome face seemed to fade.
The senior sister followed the handsome man's gaze and noticed the pile of hundreds, even thousands, of skulls in the corner. It seemed many battles had taken place here.
"What do you think?"
"Are you scared?"
The handsome man said with a smile.
Ye Fei didn't feel entirely confident either. After all, a fox demon capable of transforming into human form would naturally possess immense cultivation.
However, he then recalled the fox demon's weakness when creating illusions, suggesting that its cultivation had likely been significantly weakened.
Still, he dared not be careless.
If his guess was correct, the fox demon's residual soul probably wouldn't last much longer.
Could it be that he wanted to possess a body?
Ye Fei shivered involuntarily at his previous words.
It seemed another fierce battle awaited them today.
"Let me guess, in your current residual soul state, you probably can't last much longer. With your greatly reduced cultivation, you dare not go out and wreak havoc, so you can only wait here. That Heavenly Demon Flower is merely a lure you used to attract people!"
Ye Fei analyzed.
"How did you know!"
"How did you discover this!"
Ye Fei's analysis hit his weak spot directly, and he immediately jumped up in agitation.
"Senior Sister, you don't need to fear him; he's merely lingering here out of desperation!"
"If we join forces, we can surely slay him here!"
"Once we kill him, we'll be able to leave!"
Ye Fei stated.
"Alright, let's go for it!"
The senior sister roared.
"Senior Sister, I'll lead the charge, you follow quickly!"
Ye Fei didn't delay, drawing his sword and charging forward.
The senior sister followed closely behind Ye Fei, also charging into the fray.
"Good, very good! If I don't destroy you two, I won't be able to quell my anger!"
Despite being in a residual soul state, the handsome man's strength was not insignificant.
With a bang, five massive white tails suddenly appeared behind him!
A Five-Tailed Celestial Fox!
The current cultivation of this Five-Tailed Celestial Fox was at the mid-stage of the Profound Origin Fourth Layer!
"Junior Brother, I'll deal with him!"
"You are no match for him!"
The senior sister stepped forward, engaging the Five-Tailed Celestial Fox in a fierce battle.
The Five-Tailed Celestial Fox was no pushover, and its five large tails served as its prime offensive weapons.
With a sweep, its five tails surged forward, entangling both Ye Fei and the senior sister!
Both were tightly bound by his five tails. As the tails tightened their grip, they struggled to breathe.
"Hahaha, with your strength, you dare to oppose me? You're simply asking for death!"
"What do you say, want to beg for mercy?"
The two were flung into the air, tossed about by him.
Despite his difficulty breathing, Ye Fei channeled the yuan force within his body, pouring it all into his long sword.
With a roar, the long sword, enveloped in sharp sword energy, struck directly at the Five-Tailed Celestial Fox's tails.
With several swift slashes, the treasure sword, capable of cutting through metal, sliced through all the tails that bound Ye Fei.
Due to the intense pain, the Five-Tailed Celestial Fox also released the senior sister.
"Senior Sister, are you alright?"
The moment he was freed, Ye Fei caught the falling senior sister, his voice laced with concern.
"I'm fine!"
The Five-Tailed Celestial Fox cherished its flawless white tails above all else. Having them injured by Ye Fei infuriated it, and it let out a series of piercing roars.
