"You are not yet worthy of an audience with the Clan Leader of the Fox Race!" an ancient voice called out. Then, the ancestor of the Fox Race, Bai Zhen, slowly descended from the sky, landing before Lang Shuntian and the others.

"Ancestor!" Seeing Bai Zhen, the eyes of the Bai Family Elders and leaders lit up with joy as they quickly called out. Bai Zhen was the Fox Race’s strongest pillar of support, their clan’s one and only Spirit Emperor Powerhouse.

Upon seeing Bai Zhen, the corners of Lang Shuntian and the others’ eyes twitched. A cold smile then surfaced on Bu Gui’s face as he said coolly, "It seems the Fox Race is truly on its last legs. For even the ancestor to show himself... looks like your extinction isn’t far off!"

"Lang Shuntian, this isn’t the Snow Wolf Race’s territory. You’d better watch your mouth!" Hearing his words, the faces of the Bai Family Elders darkened, and one of them snapped coldly.

"Oh, that’s right. This isn’t the Snow Wolf Race’s territory. But it will be soon!" A cruel smile touched Lang Shuntian’s lips. He clapped his hands, and several shadowy figures suddenly flickered into view, appearing before the crowd.

As they sensed the auras emanating from these figures, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically. The power radiating from these newcomers had all reached the level of a Spirit Emperor Powerhouse!

"One, two, three... ten! Ten Spirit Emperor Powerhouses! How is that possible!" the Grand Elder of the Bai Family cried out in shock, staring at the ten figures standing before Lang Shuntian. Spirit Emperor Powerhouses were exceptionally rare and seldom seen. Yet, Lang Shuntian had summoned ten of them at once. ’Are Spirit Emperor Powerhouses a dime a dozen these days?’

Bai Zhen’s expression was also grave as he stared at the ten Spirit Emperor Powerhouses before him, and his heart grew heavy. ’Our side, including me, only has six Spirit Emperor Powerhouses. They have ten, plus the two Half-step Spirit Emperors, Lang Shuntian and Jin Chengdao. The odds are stacked against the Fox Race!’

"I know you Fox Race people were setting a trap for us. But did you really think you’re the only ones who can call for backup?" Lang Shuntian sneered, looking at the shocked members of the Bai Family.

"How could you have known!?" the Bai Family members demanded, their faces grim.

"It’s all thanks to Bai Hong, the one you cast out. He was a great help to me!" Lang Shuntian shot the Bai Family members a casual glance, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"Damn it! Bai Hong actually betrayed the Bai Family!" Hearing Lang Shuntian’s words, the faces of the Bai Family members filled with regret. ’We should have just killed him back then.’

"Lang Shuntian, did you call us here just to deal with a minor clan like this? Are you looking down on us?" one of the elderly Spirit Emperors standing before Lang Shuntian commented coolly while the Bai Family members were murmuring amongst themselves.

"Lord Xue, this is no minor clan. The Fox Race was once at the height of its power. Besides, don’t you also wish to obtain their Nine-Tails inheritance?" Lang Shuntian replied with a light chuckle.

"Tch. You seem to know quite a bit, don’t you?" the elder known as Lord Xue remarked, shooting Lang Shuntian a sidelong glance.

"As a branch of the Shadow Demon Wolf Clan, we of the Snow Wolf Race must naturally learn as much as we can," Lang Shuntian replied respectfully.

Hearing Lang Shuntian’s words, the surrounding crowd froze for a moment before turning to stare at the elder known as Lord Xue in utter shock. Now they understood why Lang Shuntian had been able to enlist the help of so many Spirit Emperor Powerhouses.

The Shadow Demon Wolf Clan. They were one of the races that had survived since the Ancient Era. Of all the races in the Eastern Domain Demon Race, nine had survived from the Ancient Era. Without a doubt, all nine had developed into Overlord Level powers in the Eastern Domain and were known as its Nine Great Clans. With the exception of the Four Great Divine Beast Families who occupied the very center of the Eastern Domain, each of these other clans stood guard over their own region. The Shadow Demon Wolf Clan was one of those nine overlords. What no one had ever imagined was that the Snow Wolf Race had actually pledged allegiance to the Shadow Demon Wolf Clan!

"It seems you came prepared. In that case, I suppose this banquet is off!" Bai Zhen took a deep breath. The enemy had obviously come ready for a fight. This time, the Bai Family had been pushed to the brink.

At this thought, Bai Zhen’s gaze involuntarily drifted toward the Cold Pool on the rear mountain. ’Lady Ya is still there, receiving the Nine-tailed White Fox’s inheritance. She’s the Fox Race’s last hope. No matter what happens today, I have to hold these people off until she emerges from her seclusion!’

"Hmph. Bai Zhen, if you know what’s good for you, lead your people in surrender to my Snow Wolf Race and hand over the Fox Race’s inheritance. Otherwise, you can just wait for your clan to be bathed in a river of its own blood!" Lang Shuntian stared at Bai Zhen and said coldly.

"The word ’surrender’ does not exist in the vocabulary of the Fox Race! If you want us to submit, let’s see if you have the strength to make us!" Bai Zhen snorted. His aura suddenly erupted, and a powerful shockwave of energy blasted through the courtyard, overturning all the tables and chairs.

"Fine! In that case, don’t blame us for what happens next! Lord Xue, I’ll trouble you to deal with their Spirit Emperor Powerhouses!" Lang Shuntian said with a cold snort, feeling the immense power of Bai Zhen’s aura.

"Hmph. A bunch of petty clowns. Leave them to me!" Lord Xue sneered. His figure flashed as he intercepted Bai Zhen. The other Spirit Emperor Powerhouses charged directly into the Bai Family’s formation, each seeking out an opponent. The battle erupted in an instant!

「Meanwhile, in the Cold Pool on the Bai Family’s rear mountain」 Shen Haoran’s eyes were still tightly shut. Potent streams of Energy coiled around his body, surging into him without pause.

’He really is that guy’s successor, to be able to absorb even my Energy!’ Seeing this, the nearby Nine-tailed White Fox couldn’t help but mutter. The Energy Shen Haoran was absorbing wasn’t Spiritual Power, but the very essence the Nine-tailed White Fox had left behind.

"Bah, it’s not like you haven’t seen it before. What’s all the fuss about?" Changmao said casually, waving a paw.

As the two were speaking, Shen Haoran, who had been sitting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them. The surrounding Energy instantly dissipated.

’Oh no! I was so focused on my cultivation, I forgot today is the day the Fox Race is hosting the Snow Wolf Race!’ Shen Haoran shot to his feet, a look of frustration on his face. ’There were still so many things to arrange for this trap, and I ended up getting dragged here. I wonder what’s happening outside.’

Shen Haoran glanced at the now-translucent white cocoon and asked, "How much longer until Lady Ya wakes up?"

"She will awaken when the cocoon disappears completely," the Nine-tailed White Fox answered.

"Looks like it will still be a while," Shen Haoran murmured. ’This trap won’t work without me and Lady Ya.’ He then turned to the Nine-tailed White Fox. "Send me out first. I have some business to take care of."

Hearing Shen Haoran, the Nine-tailed White Fox glanced at Changmao, who nodded back. ’Well, Shen Haoran is the boss now,’ the fox thought. ’We’ll just do as he says.’

The Nine-tailed White Fox nodded and began to form a Seal Technique. Streams of bright light enveloped Shen Haoran. When he came to his senses, he found himself floating above the Cold Pool.

"KILL!" The moment Shen Haoran regained his senses, the roar of battle reached his ears, and his expression changed. He immediately looked toward the Bai Family’s front courtyard.

’Damn it, something’s gone wrong!’
