334 Hu Guhai (Part 1)
“The matter has already been resolved?”
By the time Hu Guhai returned to the Fox race’s territory with the elder, both Hu Guhai and the elder beside him were at a loss.
Hu Guhai had been plotting his revenge during the journey back, yet things had turned out like this?
Even though he did not understand what had happened, he still put on a dignified expression befitting his status as the ancestor.
He said kindly, “The heavens have indeed blessed the fox race.”
“It’s great that you’re all fine. If anything were to happen to any of you, I would be the only surviving fox race member. That would be devastating.”
After he finished speaking, Hu Guhai pretended to wipe away non-existent tears.
The other members of the fox race, including the clan leader, were overcome with emotion because of their ancestor’s concern for them.
Their ancestor was truly a great person!
After that, Hu Guhai sighed.
“The current situation has stabilized, but I’ll stay in the city for the time being to make sure nothing untoward happens.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely keep all of you safe.”
Everyone looked at him emotionally, with gazes full of gratitude.
“That’s great, ancestor!”
“With you around, there’s nothing to fear.”
“We’ll throw a welcome feast to celebrate later!”
Hu Guhai said, “There’s no need for that. I’m already an old man. Such festivities are for younger folk. As long as you live well and have good lives, I’m already very relieved. I’m going to find the Saintess and ask her about the situation back then. I still have doubts that need to be clarified.”
After that, they respectfully sent the old fox off.
Hu Guhai then made his way over to where Hu Yiyi was. On the way, every fox race member they passed knelt down when they saw him, greeting him with respect and awe. He turned and waved at them kindly, acknowledging each one.
The news of the ancestor’s return soon spread throughout the fox race, giving everyone a sense of assurance.
‘A bunch of stupid foxes!’
‘I guess keeping them in isolation for so long has stunted their intelligence.’
‘I can’t believe they keep falling for this every time. As expected, they’re still a bunch of fools!’
‘If I allowed them to enter the battlefield with the myriad races, they probably wouldn’t even last a month.’
He inwardly cursed them, while smiling at them pretentiously. When he found Hu Yiyi, she immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times in front of him.
Hu Guhai smiled and indicated that there was no need to do so.
In the following conversation, Hu Yiyi was extremely touched by her ancestor’s concern.
After they finished chatting, Hu Guhai finally gained a proper understanding of what had happened half a month ago.
Even though she did not know how it had happened, Hu Yiyi had released a very terrifying three-colored flame that had annihilated the dragon-phoenix race.
Did Hu Guhai believe it?
Definitely not.
On the surface, he was casually chatting with Hu Yiyi about some family matters, but in his heart, he was scoffing at the Saintess in front of him.
She actually believed that she had that kind of power?
Did she take the Heavenly Dao to be a joke?
A chosen one? Ptui!
How could a mere ninth-grade Dao realm cultivator kill dozens of Dao essence realm cultivators?
Bullshit!
‘Could the sea heart have something to do with it?’
This thought flashed through Hu Guhai’s mind.
He felt that it was possible.
Perhaps the sea heart had designated the dragon-phoenix race as prey, and lent Hu Yiyi its power to annihilate them.
Still, the sea heart was not supposed to have a soul, so he was not too sure.
‘I’ll head over to the Ancient God Sea to take a closer look.’
‘Also, I haven’t collected the spiritual liquid in quite some time. They should have gathered one or two drops at least by now.’
Hu Guhai then said to Hu Yiyi, “By the way, where are the two passersby you mentioned? I’d like to meet them.”
Hu Yiyi respectfully replied, “They are currently traveling in the outer regions of the Ancient God Sea. It shouldn’t be difficult to find them. I’ll take you to them.”
Hu Guhai looked at Hu Yiyi rather benevolently, “Alright, thank you for your hard work, Saintess.”
Hu Yiyi hurriedly shook her head, feeling extremely touched.
