Its disguise ability is indeed impressive; were it not for its subordinates being exposed, we might never have discovered this Nine-tailed Demon Fox.
The reactions of Silver Moon and Shen Wang made the Nine-tailed Demon Fox realize that these two people were also aware of the operation.
"So it's a Fox Emperor; I've heard you like to lurk among humans; I didn't expect to encounter you at my Hundred Refining Sect."
The silver-haired elder was engulfed in purple flames, causing the air around him to continuously distort, imparting a sense of overwhelming oppression.
"Beast, today all of you will die here."
From another direction, a new Nascent Soul Great Cultivator appeared, blocking the Nine-tailed Demon Fox's retreat.
This man was dressed in a red robe, middle-aged, with crimson flames, a burly build, eyebrows like fire, forming a sharp angle, presenting a stark contrast to the kindly-looking silver-haired elder, appearing rather fierce.
Shen Wang sensed that this person was at the early-stage of the Nascent Soul, while the silver-haired elder was at Nascent Soul Perfection, and the Nine-tailed Demon Fox's power was roughly at the late-stage Nascent Soul.
Even with just these two, it would be enough to give it a tough time, let alone two more.
As Shen Wang's gaze flickered, swish, swish!
Two more Nascent Soul cultivators appeared, one middle-aged and one elder, blocking the other two directions.
Both middle-aged, the latter seemed unimposing, donned in a blue robe, surrounded by pale golden flames, giving off a gentler vibe.
While the elder wore gray clothes, his body hunched, looking rather decrepit, also a Fire Attribute Cultivator, his mana appeared brown; the former's cultivation was early-stage Nascent Soul, the latter's was mid-stage.
To deal with this Nine-tailed Demon Fox, the Four Great Cultivators of the Hundred Refining Sect were dispatched, resolved to give no chances.
Liu Da Rong and other Golden Core cultivators also emerged gradually, surrounding the area densely, along with an array that even Divinity Transformation Power would frown upon.
At this time, other Demon Race members who heard the commotion started rushing out in panic, turning pale at the sight of numerous cultivators.
"Fellow Human Race cultivators, we have never harmed anyone from the Hundred Refining Sect, is such a massive mobilization truly necessary?"
The Nine-tailed Demon Fox suppressed its panic, its voice soft and pleasing, making people unwilling to harm it.
"Cease your deceit, if you aren't one of us, your mind is assuredly different. If we don't capture you, should we let you wreak havoc on the world?"
The silver-haired elder shouted, his voice carrying unique power, dispersing the special allure in its voice, clearly expressing his stance.
"All my dealings have been beneficial for both sides, never robbing or plundering, how am I wreaking havoc on the world!"
The Nine-tailed Demon Fox retorted coldly.
"Enough with the seductive talk, capture it!"
The silver-haired elder ordered, and the other three Nascent Souls immediately acted.
Seeing this, Shen Wang guessed the identity of the silver-haired elder, likely the Sect Leader.
The other two much younger Nascent Soul cultivators, perhaps contenders for the next Sect Leader?
While he pondered, the three Nascent Soul cultivators began battling the Nine-tailed Demon Fox.
In an instant, powerful fire attribute mana erupted, forcing Liu Da Rong and other Golden Core cultivators to retreat.
But the other Demons were instead targeted by Liu Da Rong and others, tackling them with numerical superiority; capturing them was only a matter of time.
Shen Wang and Silver Moon retreated several miles, landing atop a nearby building.
Rarely seeing Nascent Soul level magical combat, the two were keen to observe and gain some experience.
In the center of the battle, two early-stage Nascent Soul and one mid-stage, though inferior to the Nine-tailed Demon Fox in realm, they had the advantage in numbers.
The burly red-robed man charged forward, his body radiating dazzling golden light, swelling a circle larger, carrying the explosive force of a volcano, closing in on the Nine-tailed Demon Fox to launch an attack.
The Nine-tailed Demon Fox's sharp claws clashed with his body, sparks jumped, its body like metal, receiving no injuries.
With him enduring the physical fight against the Nine-tailed Demon Fox, the other two took the opportunity to activate their magical treasures, a yellow-brown mountain-shaped treasure rapidly enlarged, pressing down on the Nine-tailed Demon Fox from above.
The blue-robed cultivator cast out a golden compass, the Eight Trigrams Feng Shui Map atop it glowed, forming a large net, enveloping the Nine-tailed Demon Fox, releasing various attacks, restricting its movement, seeking a chance to trap it.
In a moment, the Nine-tailed Demon Fox found movement difficult, struggling with efforts.
Without needing the Sect Leader's intervention, signs of suppressing and trapping the Nine-tailed Demon Fox already appeared.
As for the other demons, many had started to scream miserably, unable to withstand the group assault.
Glancing at the compass, Shen Wang noticed this treasure was similar to the Eight Trigrams Plate he received from Liu Da Rong, or rather, it was a related treasure, containing numerous arrays.
"I've heard the Hundred Refining Sect's Fire Divine Techniques are formidable; today's encounter proves its reputation is well-earned."
Silver Moon's eyes sparkled as she watched attentively.
The Nine-tailed Demon Fox suddenly screamed, erupting in bright white light, swiping the red-clad man away with a paw.
Meanwhile, its nine tails swung like whips, part breaking apart the mountain overhead, while the rest shredded the net formed by the compass treasure.
A vast amount of white mana condensed into three energy spheres, hurtling toward the three people.
Bang, bang, bang!
Three loud blasts, several Nascent Soul cultivators staggered backward, taking some losses.
Breaking away from the siege, the Nine-tailed Demon Fox was greatly depleted, its surrounding mana notably weakened, revealing a pure yet alluring visage.
Glaring grimly at her fallen subordinates, she transformed into a ray of light to break through.
"Old man holding the fort here, you think you can escape?"
Purple fire appeared in her retreat path, rapidly expanding to form a wall of flame.
"Move aside!"
The Nine-tailed Demon Fox shouted angrily, hurling the remaining six mana spheres furiously.
The spheres contained strong mana, prompting the silver-haired elder to show a serious expression, raising a hand to summon a dark red fire furnace.
The furnace had two ears and three legs, engraved with flame patterns, and facing the spheres, not only blocked them but absorbed them instead.
The spheres detonated within, causing the furnace to tremble violently, some energy leaked out forming waves, yet barely affecting the silver-haired elder, not even damaging nearby terrain.
The Nine-tailed Demon Fox's expression grew increasingly grim, only able to change direction, aiming to escape from the array first.
But the silver-haired elder flashed before her, performing a hand gesture to unleash a large flaming palm.
The Nine-tailed Demon Fox had no choice but to confront it; amidst the explosion of flames, she was forced back.
"Nine-tailed Demon Fox, though you're a Desolate Ancient Spirit Species, my cultivation surpasses yours slightly; you can't escape, best surrender to avoid suffering."
The silver-haired elder drenched in purple fire, his surroundings shimmering, appeared exceedingly powerful.
"I didn't expect the Hundred Refining Sect Leader to have reached the threshold of Divinity Transformation Realm, his Magic and Divine Techniques able to resonate with the Power of Heaven and Earth, unfortunate for me."
The Nine-tailed Demon Fox sighed, recognizing that in a one-on-one, she wouldn't fear this man, but with three other Nascent Soul Great Cultivators, she was at a disadvantage.
Now, the three Nascent Soul cultivators that had been repelled surrounded her once more.
"Capture her!"
The silver-haired elder spoke solemnly, mobilizing the dark red fire furnace treasure, coordinating with the trio to completely suppress the Nine-tailed Demon Fox in place.
Shen Wang noticed the individuals refraining from execution, pondering: "This Nine-tailed Demon Fox likely has some background, otherwise they wouldn't suppress and capture, but simply kill."
