Realizing that she was currently no match for the Thunder Tiger King, the Nine-tailed Fox could only submit and quickly walked out as instructed.

As she stepped out of the cave and observed the terrifying sight of thunder dancing wildly, with purple light filling the sky, the Nine-tailed Fox's pupils contracted. She spoke in a low, submissive voice: "This humble fox welcomes the Thunder Tiger King's arrival. I wonder, what brings the Thunder Tiger King to my Fox Immortal Mountain? If there's anything this little fox can assist with, I will not refuse."

"Heh, I thought you truly dared not show yourself!"

High in the sky, upon seeing the white figure in the mountain reveal its form, Jiang Che's face broke into a cold smile.

If the Nine-tailed Fox had not appeared, he indeed would have done as he just said—gone down to find her, even if it meant overturning the entire Fox Immortal Mountain.

As for the Nine-tailed Fox, he was determined to have her, whether she liked it or not.

Unless she could instantaneously become powerful enough to surpass Jiang Che, all her struggles would be in vain.

The next moment, Jiang Che retracted his aura, and the thunder that filled the sky vanished in an instant. The doomsday-like sight dispersed without a trace, leaving the entire Fox Immortal Mountain quiet.

With the Heaven Destroying Halberd at his command, Jiang Che slowly descended toward the White Tiger King's position.

"Greetings, Thunder Tiger King!"

Sensing the abyss-like terrifying might of the Thunder Tiger King before her, the Nine-tailed Fox felt a tremor in her heart and spoke respectfully.

In front of her, Jiang Che's deep tiger eyes were scrutinizing the Nine-tailed Fox up and down.

So this is the future Demon Emperor? Looks quite good in appearance, but in terms of strength, she's rather weak—likely unable to match even some ordinary Revivers!

Of course, this Nine-tailed Fox is indeed adaptable, which is probably why she could grow stronger in the future.

"Why aren't you kneeling when you see me?"

Recalling his purpose, Jiang Che directed his gaze, full of intimidating pressure, at the Nine-tailed Fox. His sharp tiger teeth glinting coldly, he reprimanded coldly.

Upon hearing this, the Nine-tailed Fox was momentarily stunned, her eyes widening.

Soon, anger surged in her heart—the damned Thunder Tiger dared to demand she kneel, this was an unbearable humiliation!

The Nine-tailed Fox's anger continued to build, and a hint of killing intent leaked from her eyes.

To the Nine-tailed Fox, the demand for her to kneel was a pure humiliation, and now she dearly wished she could instantly rise to the Emperor Realm and strike down this damned Thunder Tiger.

"What? Are you going to defy my order?"

In the next moment, Jiang Che's gaze turned cold, and a strong pressure surged forth, overwhelming the Nine-tailed Fox like a mountain crashing down.

In an instant, the Nine-tailed Fox felt her body being squeezed by an immense force, causing unbearable pain throughout her body, and her limbs trembled uncontrollably.

Damn it, this Thunder Tiger's strength is terrifying. The pressure alone brings such immense stress that if he truly acts, I might have no chance of winning.

Clenching her teeth to endure the immense physical pain, the Nine-tailed Fox's mind raced with thoughts.

Forget it, the river flows east for thirty years, west for thirty—endure this moment of humiliation, and in the future, I will repay this beast, the Thunder Tiger, a thousandfold!

The drooping gaze of the Nine-tailed Fox was filled with deep hatred, determined to endure this time.

With the inherited treasure—the Nine Illusion Immortal Bell—she was supremely confident that in the future, she would surpass the Thunder Tiger.

Bang!

The next moment, the Nine-tailed Fox suddenly dropped to her knees.

"I beg the Thunder Tiger King for forgiveness, I was simply too overwhelmed upon first meeting the Thunder Tiger King. It won't happen again!"

"Hmm, you, little fox, are still sensible, so I'll spare you today."

Upon seeing this, Jiang Che's gaze softened significantly, and the pressure upon her was instantly withdrawn.

Though the Nine-tailed Fox ultimately submitted, Jiang Che did not underestimate her; on the contrary, he grew even more wary, realizing the Nine-tailed Fox was indeed no ordinary being.

"Thank you, Thunder Tiger King!"

The Nine-tailed Fox wore a smile without the slightest trace of anger from being humiliated.

Just wait, Thunder Tiger.

When my cultivation advances greatly, I'll ensure you kneel here a thousand times, and finally, I'll cut off your legs, forcing you to remain kneeling forever.

After a moment of silence, seeing that the Thunder Tiger remained silent, the Nine-tailed Fox anxiously asked, "This little fox almost forgot. May I know what brings the Thunder Tiger King to seek me out?"

"I see potential in you, so I'll bestow you a favor: henceforth, submit to me and immediately offer your heart's blood!"

Jiang Che looked down at the Nine-tailed Fox, his gaze indifferent, dominantly commanding.

What? Heart's blood!!!

The Nine-tailed Fox's expression changed dramatically; her anger could no longer be contained.

This Thunder Tiger is truly detestable. If I offer my heart's blood, my life will be in his hands, and then, won't I be at his mercy?

Though fire raged in her heart, the Nine-tailed Fox outwardly showed no dissatisfaction.

Secretly communicating with the Nine Illusion Immortal Bell within her, the Nine-tailed Fox respectfully kept her head down, pretending to submit.

"These times are not peaceful, and cultivation is difficult for this little fox. I've long wanted to find a protector. Now that the Thunder Tiger King is willing to accept me, I naturally wish to submit to the Thunder Tiger King!"

"In that case, present your heart's blood, and in the future, serving me won't lack rewards!"

Jiang Che nodded, painting a picture of benefits.

"Yes, Thunder Tiger King, please wait a moment!"

The Nine-tailed Fox nodded respectfully, feigning a painful expression as if about to force out her heart's blood, while the Nine Illusion Immortal Bell inside her was already poised to strike.

The next moment, a red light, almost indistinguishable from the glow of heart's blood, appeared at the Nine-tailed Fox's mouth.

Just as Jiang Che's gaze fell upon her, a dazzling white light appeared above the Nine-tailed Fox's head.

"Thunder Tiger, meet your death!"

Suddenly, a mesmerizing bell sound rang out, like celestial music, spreading all around.

The enchanting white light followed the bell sound, instantly enveloping Jiang Che.

At once, an illusion quickly formed in Jiang Che's eyes.

Jiang Che suddenly found himself seemingly back in Peach Grove Valley, with peach trees rapidly manifesting, Nangong Luo and Xiao Zi stood smiling beneath the Bodhi Holy Tree, looking at him.

Just as Nangong Luo was about to speak to Jiang Che, a powerful bell sound resonated.

Clang!

In an instant, the near-perfect illusion shattered inch by inch under the might of the Donghuang Bell, and Jiang Che returned to reality.

The Nine-tailed Fox, struck by the bell sound, cried out in pain, clutching her head and stumbling back a few steps.

Jiang Che, with cold light in his eyes, noticed the Nine Illusion Immortal Bell above the Nine-tailed Fox's head; in an instant, he reached out and forcefully seized it.

"A nice treasure, but it now belongs to me!"
