Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor

Chapter 1274 - 101: Fusion, Rebirth

"This time, it truly turned out to be a blessing in disguise. I never anticipated that the collapse of the Ancient Sealing would reveal the deeply buried Eight-tailed Heavenly Fox Inheritance Pillar. It’s all predestined, I suppose. Yu Shang, despite all your efforts, you ultimately failed to obtain the strongest Sky Fox inheritance." Yun Sheng mused.

The Ancient Sealing was left by the ancestors of the first Beast Clan to arrive at Bahuang Continent.

The Seal Eye, on the other hand, was the inheritance pillar left by the last elder-level strongmen of the Eight Desolate Beast Clan.

Here, it gathers the most ancient inheritance of the Eight Desolate Beast Clan.

Yu Shang thought she knew the Ancient Sealing inside out, but she didn’t realize that back when Hu Yan perished on Wuji Continent, the elders of the Sky Fox Tribe began to doubt the Holy Daughter Hu Yushang.

Upon arriving at Bahuang Continent, they seemingly cooperated with Yu Shang to build this Ancient Sealing, but secretly buried the Eight-tailed Inheritance representing the highest Sky Fox legacy underground.

Only a Sky Fox with true purity of mind or strength to rival the first Clan Leader Hu Yan could bring forth this Eight-tailed Heavenly Fox Inheritance Pillar.

Though Yun Sheng’s strength does not match Hu Yan, it was due to the Sky Fox Relics that Yun Sheng unexpectedly found the Eight-tailed Heavenly Fox Inheritance upon the collapse of the Ancient Sealing.

In the end, this is all destined by fate.

The two Sky Fox Inheritance Pillars were like two bright lights, illuminating the ruins and temporarily forming a relatively safe space amid the rubble.

Yun Sheng inspected the surroundings, noticing small-scale collapses continuously happening due to the Seal Eye’s breakdown, deeming now not the best time to leave these Ancient Sealing grounds.

Yu Shang and others by now should be joyously back to Hu Capital.

Unfortunately, Lu Yunshuang and others have fallen into Yu Shang’s hands, and a plan must be devised to rescue them.

However, Yu Shang obtained another Seven-tailed Inheritance, plus has the Great Witch Doctor’s support; evoking a showdown even upon returning to Hu Capital would not be simple.

The best course is to first stay in the ruins, find a way to integrate these two new Sky Fox Inheritance Pillars, then return to Hu Capital and rescue Bo Bo, Little Yingying, and Lu Yunshuang.

Thinking this through, Yun Sheng heartily settled down in the ruins, slowly comprehending the two Sky Fox inheritances on the Inheritance Pillar.

In a blink, two months had passed.

The ruins of the Ancient Sealing remained silent, while in the Sky Fox Tribe’s capital, Hu Capital, the tribe finally welcomed their new Heavenly Fox Saintess, Yu Shang.

"Lu Yunshuang, tomorrow is the day I officially become the Heavenly Fox Saintess. Once more I’ll ask, are you willing to cooperate with me?" Yu Shang spoke with Hu Linglong and others after returning to Hu Capital. Having obtained the Seven-tailed Inheritance, she was met with heroic acclaim.

The Sky Fox Tribe hadn’t seen above a Six-tailed inheritance in many years.

Yet, this time, Yu Shang brought back a Seven-tailed inheritance, alongside the other candidate Saintesses suffering severe injuries. The Six-tailed Mixed Blood Heavenly Fox Yun Sheng was portrayed as slaughtering comrades in Bahuang Mountain Range for the Saintess seat, consuming the hearts of Hua Yanluo and Feng Lian.

It was because Yu Shang and several Saintesses banded together that Yun Sheng was slain.

This narration by Yu Shang was believed by most within the Sky Fox Tribe, coercing even the other candidate Saintesses, including Hu Linglong, to align with Yu Shang’s false story.

Now, only Lu Yunshuang steadfastly refused to cooperate with Yu Shang.

Yu Shang originally intended to kill her, but the Ice Fox Tribe’s persistent requests to visit Lu Yunshuang, bound by her status as Quasi Saintess, left her no choice but to imprison Lu Yunshuang, claiming she’s "gravely ill recuperating."

"Lu Yunshuang, my patience has almost run dry, one more time I ask, are you willing or not to cooperate?" Yu Shang’s face was harsh.

"I have endured countless trials. Yu Shang, you harmed your own tribe, blamed Yun Sheng when it mattered most; you expect me to cooperate with you? It’s nothing but a madman’s dream." Eyes shut, Lu Yunshuang refused to see Yu Shang’s deceitful face.

She only rued her own lack of strength, failing to prevent Yun Sheng’s demise within the Ancient Sealing.

"I’ll see how long you remain defiant. I heard you have a childhood sweetheart—is he part of the Human Clan?" Yu Shang’s alluring gaze was filled with schemes.

"Yu Shang, what are you planning?" Lu Yunshuang opened her eyes.

"Planning what? Haha, I just intend to conduct an unusual ceremony at my Heavenly Fox Saintess coronation tomorrow. You know a ritual is a tradition at the coronation, typically involves Demon Beasts as offerings. This year, I plan to use 999 Human Clan members. Regarding the people for this ritual, I’ll select them from your sweetheart’s village, what do you think?" Yu Shang laughed ominously.

Lu Yunshuang felt as though plunged into a frigid world, never imagined Yu Shang could harbor such cruelty.

"You’re a madwoman, unfit to be the Saintess of the Sky Fox Tribe!" Lu Yunshuang, enraged, attempted to fight Yu Shang, though the Magic Lock restrained her, leaving her powerless.

"Haha, you have only yourself to blame. They are all victims of your folly. Lu Yunshuang, you are utterly naive. You could easily have chosen to be my follower like the other candidate Saintesses; if I’m pleased, I might reward you a Sky Fox inheritance." Yu Shang took several Sky Fox Inheritance Pillars from the Seal Eye, containing Four, Five, Six-tailed inheritances.

To better control her subordinates, Yu Shang gave two of these pillars to Hu Linglong and Qin Yue respectively.

"Dream on, I will never betray Yun Sheng." Gritting her teeth, Lu Yunshuang remained unyielding.

"For a deceased, is this worth it? Fine, you insist on being stubborn, tomorrow you and those Humans together will face execution." Angrily, Yu Shang swept her sleeve and departed the cell.

Outside the cell, Hu Linglong and Qin Yue awaited.

They now acted as Yu Shang’s subordinates.

"Yu Shang, as per your instructions, I’ve captured those Humans. When will you honor our agreement?" Hu Linglong voiced her dissatisfaction upon seeing Yu Shang.

Yu Shang was on the verge of becoming the Heavenly Fox Saintess, yet hadn’t fulfilled her promises.

Currently, the entire Sky Fox Tribe was enthralled by Yu Shang.

From Hu Linglong’s perspective, all this rightly belonged to her, hinting at jealousy.

"Why so hurried? What belongs to you will come to pass after I master the Seven-tailed Inheritance." Unfazed, Yu Shang glared at Hu Linglong.
