Volume 5 Chapter 71

Volume 5 + Chapter 71: The Azure Fox God

Xia Yi stood atop the train, her face full of triumph.

“……”

Bai Lian was completely speechless at the sight before her.

Who could possibly have imagined that a train could actually travel through the sky?

The members of the dragon delegation had all released their true dragon forms, transforming into massive dragons.

“Blow it up!” Xia Yi ordered.

Although most of them weren’t specialists in combat, if necessary, breathing dragonfire downward for a while was absolutely no problem.

Dragonfire began gathering in the dragons’ mouths, and a terrifying fluctuation spread across the sky.

“What are those dragons trying to do?”

“They’re not going to bomb us, are they?!”

“Priestess, please think of something!!”

The followers of the White Night Cult fell into panic.

They clearly knew the dragons were about to attack, yet as ordinary foxfolk they had no way to stop enemies high in the sky.

This was the natural advantage of dragons, when a large group of them occupied the air, they were practically the equivalent of a fleet of bombers.

Xia Yi looked down over the beautiful Peach Blossom Utopia below.

Its prosperity was even greater than that of the outside world, perhaps even excessively urbanized.

“Peach Blossom Utopia is a hidden paradise with a population of over ten thousand foxfolk,” Xia Yi remarked.

Soon, however, it would be reduced to rubble.

A corrupt cult that manipulated people’s hearts with so-called holy water deserved to be destroyed as soon as possible.

The dragons had already finished charging their dragonfire.

“Fire!!” Xia Yi gave the attack command.

BOOM!!

Dragonfire burst from the mouths of the great dragons, streaking downward like beams of blazing light from the sky and smashing into the ground below.

Before the overwhelming pressure of the dragons, the White Night Cult’s members collapsed into complete disarray.

Elly was even more reckless, she flew straight down and swept the ground with streams of dragonfire.

Large sections of buildings melted instantly beneath her breath.

Even the plants couldn’t withstand the toxic heat, turning into lifeless gray ash.

Under the dragons’ assault, parts of Peach Blossom Utopia were already close to becoming ruins.

Suddenly, Xia Yi felt something strange.

She wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but it seemed as though the ground of Peach Blossom Utopia had begun to tremble, like the beating of a great drum, pulsing with a strange rhythm.

“Your Highness, I feel like… something isn’t right!”

Elly flew back up from below, hovering near the train.

“I think something big is about to happen!”

The other dragons also felt a powerful sense of unease rising in their hearts. Even though the dragons clearly held the absolute advantage, they suddenly became restless and anxious.

“Your actions have already angered the true Fox God,” Bai Lian said coldly. “The Fox God’s wrath is about to descend!”

“You charlatan, stop spouting nonsense down there!” Elly shouted toward the ground. “We’re not buying any of that!”

“I don’t need to convince you,” Bai Lian replied calmly. “Because the truth will soon appear before your eyes.”

Bai Lian raised the ritual wand in her hand and began to spin gracefully, her body moving like she was performing a ceremonial dance.

Her figure was elegant, her steps refined, yet there was an eerie solemnity to it.

“This is bad! Bai Lian is performing a ritual dance, she’s trying to communicate with the Azure Fox God!”

The little fox shouted a warning to the dragons aboard the train.

As a shrine maiden herself, she could recognize it immediately.

“Stop her quickly!”

“Your Highness, let me go!”

Karami let out a roar and dove downward, raising his dragon claws with the intent to crush Bai Lian to pieces.

Facing the ferocious dragon rushing toward her, Bai Lian did not stop her ritual dance.

Instead, she seemed even more immersed in it, lost in a trance of devotion.

Just as Karami believed he was about to succeed, a figure suddenly rushed out from behind Bai Lian and leapt high into the air, meeting Karami’s dragon claw head-on.

That figure was extremely familiar to Yue Liu.

It was her master, the fox clan’s great swordmaster, Bai Yang.

“Godspeed, Draw Slash!”

Without the slightest distraction, Bai Yang drew his katana from its sheath.

The sword technique was so fast that it was invisible to the naked eye. A dazzling arc of sword light flashed forth, leaving a massive scar across the air itself.

The strike violently repelled Karami, sending the dragon flying backward and successfully protecting Bai Lian.

“Filthy outsiders! You dare defile the sacred land of the Fox God. Prepare to accept the Fox God’s judgment!”

Bai Yang landed beside Bai Lian and calmly returned the katana to its sheath.

“What’s going on, little fox? That looked like your master, right? Why is he helping Bai Lian?” Xia Yi asked in confusion.

The little fox bit her lip, trembling with humiliation and unwillingness.

“My master… and even my father… have both been controlled by Bai Lian using the Fox God’s Eyes. My strength is insufficient, I can’t break the illusion spell affecting them…”

“O Fox God! Please unleash your wrath!”

Bai Lian’s ritual dance came to an end.

She raised both hands toward the depths of Peach Blossom Utopia.

The followers of the White Night Cult all dropped to their knees in perfect unison, their expressions filled with fanatical devotion.

The earth began to shake.

From the deepest part of Peach Blossom Utopia, a furious presence exploded outward, spreading across the land.

A powerful rage filled the air, saturating the entire world around them.

Violent gusts of wind began to surge.

Even the train in the sky started to shake violently, nearly derailing and falling from the tracks. The dragon delegation gathered around it, protecting the train as they struggled against the raging storm.

Dark clouds swallowed the sun.

The rivers below began to flow backward.

A colossal being descended, and entire groves of peach trees collapsed in waves.

Xia Yi and the dragons witnessed a shocking sight.

“Is that… a monster?!” Elly’s eyes widened.

Deep within Peach Blossom Utopia, an enormous nine-tailed fox appeared.

It’s body far surpassed the scale of ordinary creatures, towering even above dragons and giants, the races known as the supreme colossal species.

Behind it swayed nine azure tails.

Each one was as massive as a giant serpent, writhing through the air.

The blue nine-tailed fox radiated fury, its gaze locking firmly onto the dragons.

With every step it took, the earth trembled violently.

This… seemed to be the Azure Fox God worshipped by the White Night Cult.

“I’m not seeing things, right? Or are we under some illusion?” Xia Yi asked the little fox. “Can a fox really be that big?”

“No… this isn’t an illusion. It’s real…”

Even the little fox was so shocked upon seeing the Azure Fox God that she didn’t know what to say.

Clearly, this was far beyond even her expectations.

The situation had already spiraled in a completely uncontrollable direction.

“Uh…”

Xia Yi was momentarily at a loss for words.

It seemed that by bombing Peach Blossom Utopia, she had truly blasted out the mysterious force hidden here.

“Regretting it now is already too late. You will soon pay the price for your actions.”

Bai Lian looked up at the dragons in the sky.

“The Fox God’s wrath is not so easily appeased. Filthy outsiders, prepare to become offerings for the Fox God!!”
