The sudden appearance of the Fox Fur Elder elicited a "huh" from the high-above Zhao Qingxiao.

The Taoist Array "Dragon Prison Well," in a sense, bears a remarkable similarity to the "Heaven and Earth Chess Game." The person trapped in this well cannot escape,

and no one outside the well can enter without Zhao Qingxiao's permission.

The entry of the Fox Fur Elder was, of course, not by Zhao Qingxiao's invitation. He entered the well silently and boldly, which naturally puzzled Zhao Qingxiao.

"You can enter my well?"

"In terms of mystery, your well is far inferior to that Holy Buddha Chessboard of King Mizakgon. How could I not enter and exit?"

After reaching Sister Cui, the Fox Fur Elder carefully gazed at her face and attire, saying, "I never expected that from the ancient times to now, the most fortunate and fateful fox clan member would be willing to be a mere Food Lady."

"My lord, you've finally come."

Fox Slave, Fox Ugly, and Fox Book all simultaneously knelt on one knee to salute the Fox Fur Elder.

"Sister Yun Cui, a while ago, I sent a group of foxes to invite you to the White Bone Taoist Palace on Mingjiang Snow Mountain, not to covet your Earth Law of the Four Realms, but to ask you to help continue the Fox Clan."

"Are you Brother Hu San?"

Although Sister Cui is young, she is of high seniority in the Fox Clan, sharing the same generation as King Xishan, Hu San's grandfather.

"Yes... why are you content to be an ordinary Food Lady?"

"Firstly, the elder brothers and sisters of the Fox Clan jointly predicted that with the unique feng shui of East Market Street, it could conceal my identity, allowing me to take refuge here. I possess the Four Realm Laws, and if caught by a master, I'd surely face skinning and bone extraction."

"Didn't they think that if any master dared to catch you, they would kill him?" asked King Xishan.

"The brothers and sisters all said—there are many halls in the human world, and many masters too. If one hall is killed, can they kill all the halls in the world?"

"That's why I defected from the Fox Clan, taking the young foxes of the Hu family's three houses to establish my own mountain. I've had enough of the Fox Clan's weakness."

Upon speaking to this point, King Xishan coughed with agitation and said angrily, "The Fox Clan is the most spiritual among the Wild Immortal Spirits. Many foxes are born able to comprehend laws. Some can understand one realm, two realms, and still others, even at a young age, can comprehend three realms without a teacher,

yet many gods and ghosts from the Great Hall hunt our Fox Clan members everywhere, and the elders of the Hu family simply respond with—everyone has their destiny.

In my opinion! Foolish!

Retreating before life and death means the foxes have no bottom line. The less of a bottom line, the more those gods and ghosts see us as inferior, initiating slaughter and unrest, and will not rest until they've wiped out our Hu family."

"The Hu family has not done nothing. At least we have become external disciples of the 'Shaman'—with the protection of the Eternal Life Sect Leader. If I hadn't understood the Four Realm Laws, I could have lived in peace in the Hu family over the years."

"The people of the Hu family have never thought, why can't our uniquely spiritual Fox Clan unite its power to cultivate our own Eternal Life Sect Leader."

"But those are the nine Incense of Heavenly Dome!" Sister Cui whispered.

"Just nine Incense at that,"

King Xishan's nonchalant words astonished the others.

What does 'just nine Incense' mean?

The nine Incense of the human world are already at the level capable of ascending and slaying the Old Gods of the Heavenly Dome.

...

"Could it be?"

Mo Ya Monk gazed at the projected scene on the chessboard before him, lost in thought for a moment.

King Xishan, poised at the position of eight while aiming for nine, dared to speak arrogantly of the nine Incense, which meant he was either a fool, or...

"Or, King Xishan's level is beyond your imagination."

Zhou Xuan, contemplating the chess game, holding a white piece, casually responded to Mo Ya Monk's statement.

"Hasn't it also exceeded your imagination, Mr. Zhou?"

Mo Ya Monk asked.

Zhou Xuan calmly placed down a white piece and said to Mo Ya Monk, "Demon Monk, you don't understand the Fox Clan as well as I do—Jing Country's cultivation level is invisible. How many Incense Fires someone has cultivated can only be determined by his means, strength, and aura. But the Fox Clan is different,

the cultivation of the Fox Clan, if they reveal their fox form, a single tail represents an Incense Fire, two tails naturally represent two Incense Fires. Their incense fire cultivation level is visible."

Pausing momentarily, Zhou Xuan suddenly shot a sharp glance at Mo Ya Monk and said, "But has King Xishan ever revealed his fox form before the people?"

"Uh..."

"If he hasn't, there must be a reason for it."

Zhou Xuan said, "When the foxes reveal their fox form, they become a giant beast in the human world, swift as snow and cotton, with multiple giant tails, skilled at saving people. Sister Cui revealed her fox form to save the people of East Market Street, yet King Xishan doesn't. I imagine, he must be hiding something."

Upon hearing this, Mo Ya Monk sighed again and said, "The Great Dao is fifty, Heaven derives forty-nine, and a person seeks one escape... yet another damned human world variable."

Turning his words, he asked Zhou Xuan, "Mr. Zhou, there is a matter I do not understand!"

At this moment, the two Chess Players seemed to lack the tense atmosphere of confrontation, conversing in a manner akin to people refining their chess skills. Though the chessboard battle was fierce, their conversational content was surprisingly relaxed.

"Feel free to ask, this game has left me somewhat dazed, a change of mind would do me good."
