Chapter 493: Deer Demon's Invitation (II)
"Oh, it's an actual fox… not a fox demon," Li Yuanjiao mumbled upon this realization, accepting the jade slip and reading it carefully.
"…The den has already sent a demon general… It's a deer demon… at the mid-stage Foundation Establishment Realm. It has prepared a gift… and wants to speak with our family…"
So, a new demon general has been appointed… The demon den's response is surprisingly slow!
Li Yuanjiao nodded in understanding, then handed over the jade slip to Li Xicheng who quickly read through it and wondered aloud, "This deer demon… is it afraid of our family?"
"How can it not be afraid?" Li Yuanjiao laughed as he went on to explain, "The previous generals died at our family's hands, and the White Banyan Fox has handled everything quietly. That's typically how the three sects and seven gates operate!"
"Since this new demon general is forced to guard this place, it naturally wishes to negotiate with us. Otherwise, it'd just be sitting there, waiting for us to take its life."
Li Yuanjiao turned his gaze to the obedient little red fox before him and added softly, "Let's see what kind of creature this deer demon really is."
Li Xicheng nodded slightly, allowing An Zheyan to take the fox away. He then reminded, "Ancestor… Uncle Xuanxuan's inner demon is growing stronger with each passing day. Although the old man doesn't speak of it… we can't just stand by and watch."
Li Yuanjiao's expression turned grim as he heard this. He shook his sleeves and replied in a deep voice, "Xijun has mentioned it to me several times… I've been inquiring about it for a while now. I've heard that the Hengzhu Dao Gate has a way to resolve it. Find someone to take him there!"
