Chapter 224 Grudges
The demon hunter failed to commit suicide and could only glare resentfully at Gu Yuchuan. Gu Yuchuan slowly approached: "If you're willing to tell me where the other half of the tail is, I can give you a quick death."
The demon hunter coughed up some bloody phlegm, but her voice remained sharp: "Give up that idea, fox demon. She must die with me; that will be my revenge."
After speaking, several lines of bloody tears streamed down her face. She refused to say another word. Gu Yuchuan slowly approached her, placed his right hand on her head, and activated the Soul Searching Technique. The intense pain made her scream, and Gu Yuchuan learned about her past grievances with Xiao Wei.
The story takes place five hundred years ago, when Xiao Wei had just achieved the Golden Core stage and was out to gain experience. Xiao Wei came from the Qingqiu Fox Clan, the most powerful force in the Wanhua Realm, with a Venerable in the Nascent Soul stage presiding over the clan.
Xiao Wei possessed considerable talent, but she rarely ventured out of Qingqiu, thus remaining unfamiliar with the outside world. Upon venturing out, she encountered a grandfather and granddaughter; the grandfather was known as the Demon Exorcist, and the granddaughter as Xiao Hua. Xiao Hua was the Demon Exorcist Gu Yuchuan had met, though at this time she was not yet an old woman, but a young girl in her prime.
The demon hunter saw Xiao Wei and was about to attack. After fighting for a long time, neither of them could gain the upper hand. However, the demon hunter noticed that Xiao Wei had no bloodthirsty aura and knew that she had never killed anyone. He then wanted to train her to be a kind demon and help him kill evil demons.
Xiao Wei had just arrived in the human world and had nowhere to go, so she simply followed them. Along the way, they slew demons and did a lot of things. The fox demon clan is like that; their cultivation is much easier than other demon clans, but they are most prone to getting caught up in emotions. After spending so much time with humans, Xiao Wei even started to think that eating people was wrong.
They traveled together for several years, and Xiao Wei became like family to the two of them. At this time, they met the commander of the Demon Suppression Division, named Situ Bing. He was also a Golden Core cultivator. When he was in danger, Xiao Wei saved him and he fell in love at first sight. He followed them and wanted to become Xiao Wei's Daoist partner.
Xiao Wei came to the human world to overcome her love tribulations. This is the destiny of fox demons; they must overcome several love tribulations in their lifetime. If they pass, they can cultivate smoothly for a long time; if they fail, their thousand years of cultivation will turn to ashes. It is said that even true fox immortals have died under the influence of love tribulations. Indeed, under the laws of heaven, every sip and bite is predetermined. The ease with which they gain wisdom and cultivate is due to the constraints of love tribulations; otherwise, the demon race would have long been dominated by the fox clan.
Xiao Wei and Situ Bing fell in love, and their trip as a trio became a trip for four.
One day, Situ Bing discovered that Xiao Wei was a demon. He changed instantly. His family had died at the hands of demons, and he vowed to kill all demons in the world.
However, he couldn't defeat Xiao Wei, so he used their wedding day to set up a demon-catching array. On the wedding day, he displayed his power. Xiao Wei, seeing the familiar demon-catching array, thought that the demon exorcist and Situ Bing were working together to kill her. She suddenly unleashed her full power, killing the two despite being seriously injured. Only Xiao Hua survived. Her love tribulation had passed one hurdle, but it wasn't completely over.
She wanted to find someone who truly loved her. After that, Xiao Wei, like other demons, ate people and cultivated. Soon, she reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage. She also met her true love tribulation, Wang Sheng.
Wang Sheng already has a family, but Xiao Wei still keeps pestering him, committing countless evil deeds during this time. In order to avenge her grandfather, Xiao Hua also embarks on a journey to find Xiao Wei.
In the midst of her entanglement with Wang Sheng, Xiao Wei truly fell in love. Under Xiao Hua's scheme, Xiao Wei offered her inner core to Wang Sheng. Xiao Hua also took this opportunity to kill Xiao Wei. At the critical moment, a group of people appeared and imprisoned Xiao Wei in the Frozen Prison. Xiao Hua had no choice but to cut off Xiao Wei's tail.
She split her tail into two parts. One part was left to the Wang family, who used it to refine a magical artifact that could absorb Xiao Wei's luck and bloodline at the Demon Suppression Prison. The other part was buried in her grandfather's grave as revenge.
After that, Xiao Hua cultivated while waiting for someone to come and find Xiao Wei's tail. She knew that Xiao Wei was not dead, and as long as Xiao Wei came out, she would definitely look for her own tail. Half of a fox demon's cultivation lies in its tail.
Five hundred years have passed, and she has finally become a Golden Core cultivator. She has finally waited for the person who came, but she is no match for Gu Yuchuan. In the end, she can only die.
After reading about their grievances, Gu Yuchuan sighed deeply. It was truly a sad story. He hadn't expected that there were so many things between Xiaowei and Xiaohua. However, it was difficult to say who was right and who was wrong in their story; the facts were what they were.
However, Gu Yuchuan was certain that this was the same story he had read in his previous life, "Painted Skin." Although it had been expanded upon, it was essentially the same.
Gu Yuchuan didn't care. He already knew where the other half of the tail was. All he needed to do now was find the last half so he could go back and report. He gave Xiao Hua a quick death, using his Devouring Talent to absorb its essence. A Golden Core cultivator like Xiao Hua significantly boosted his cultivation, but the improvement in his bloodline was negligible. After all, he was already a beast, and every advancement was incredibly difficult.
As soon as he stepped out of the tunnel, he felt himself enter a formation, where two soldiers in golden armor and Wang Ankang blocked his retreat.
"Where is the fox demon? Speak!" The leader, a golden-armored warrior with the cultivation of the third level of the Golden Core stage, was a general of the Demon Suppression Prison. However, Xiao Wei had only killed one person from the Demon Suppression Prison. Was it really necessary for them to hold a grudge for five hundred years? This didn't make sense. There must be other secrets about Xiao Wei.
Gu Yuchuan glanced at the three Golden Core cultivators in front of him. Wang Ankang was a weakling, needless to say. The other two were at the third and second levels of the Golden Core realm, respectively. As members of the Demon Suppression Prison, they came from powerful forces and were certain to possess a magic weapon. In a fight, he wasn't sure he could kill them without much difficulty. Moreover, he had seen himself being ganged up on and killed by six people in the simulation. The variables in a real fight were too great, so he decided to run away.
However, seeing how arrogant the other party was, I couldn't help but feel annoyed if I didn't say something to him: "You want to find a fox demon? Then keep looking. I bet you'll never find one in your lifetime. I'm leaving now."
After saying that, he threw out a talisman, his most treasured possession—a formation-breaking talisman. He had prepared it for this kind of situation. After leaving, he activated his invisibility talent and vanished without a trace.
The three men were so angry their faces turned pale. The young general asked his leader, "Brother, if we can't find the fox demon, will His Majesty blame us?"
