Chapter 1324: Chapter 151: Yun Sheng vs. Yu Shang, The Final Struggle

Compared to Yu Shang’s triumphant expression, the Great Witch Doctor’s face suddenly changed when she saw Hu Linglong’s severed hand.

"The Witch Artifact is no longer in Hu Linglong’s right hand. Where is Hu Linglong’s body?" Hu Linglong’s tricks might deceive the Divine General, but they couldn’t fool the Great Witch Doctor, who immediately noticed that the tattoo on the severed hand was problematic.

The Great Witch Doctor, without any hesitation about the severed hand, directly rubbed the tattoo.

As she did, the color of the tattoo faded, revealing nothing on the hand.

"Fake?" Yu Shang was also taken aback.

In the witch doctor lineage of the Sky Fox Tribe, a mysterious Witch Artifact has been passed down through generations.

The Witch Artifact is nurtured by flesh and blood, and remains undamaged for millennia. This secret is known only to the succeeding Heavenly Fox Clan Leader, the Heavenly Fox Saintess, and the successive Great Witch Doctors. Even the Elder Council knows little about it.

This time, the Great Witch Doctor spared no effort to ensure Hu Linglong successfully replaced Yun Sheng to obtain the Power of Faith.

She extracted the Witch Artifact from her own body and sealed it within Hu Linglong.

She thought someone like Hu Linglong wouldn’t dare harbor greed; little did she know Hu Linglong would switch the dragon for the phoenix.

"Damn Hu Linglong, you dare plot against me." Anger surged in the Great Witch Doctor’s murky old eyes. "Fan Zhen, quickly return and search for Hu Linglong’s whereabouts. Since that woman still possesses the Witch Artifact, she must not be dead. She knows everything about me and the Holy Daughter. When you find her, you must kill her to silence her, and retrieve the Witch Artifact."

The Great Witch Doctor was very angry. She wanted to personally hunt down Hu Linglong, but considering Yu Shang was about to truly become the Heavenly Fox Saintess, she couldn’t leave Hu Capital of her own accord at this time.

"As you command." Fan Zhen didn’t expect to be deceived by Hu Linglong, and immediately led some Divine Generals to search for Hu Linglong’s whereabouts.

"Great Witch Doctor, don’t worry. Once I become the Heavenly Fox Saintess, I will certainly order a hunt for Hu Linglong." Yu Shang clutched the Faith Statue in her hand.

The next day, Yu Shang brought the Faith Statue into the Heavenly Fox Palace.

"I have received a message from Yun Sheng, sent from the northern region. She encountered some troubles there and will need another five or six days to return. At that time, you will undergo the final test in the Heavenly Fox Temple." Hu Qianqiu was not surprised by Yu Shang’s early return.

He had sent people out, and was very familiar with the situations in both the southern and northern regions.

Blame could only be placed on Yun Sheng’s unfortunate luck in drawing the relatively chaotic northern region; however, in chaotic times, true talent emerges. Hu Qianqiu also heard that Yun Sheng gained significantly during her northern journey.

It’s said she even tamed the Hell Demon Wolf Tribe, who have always been unruly.

But Yu Shang’s achievements were also quite impressive; she garnered a good reputation for Hu Capital and the Heavenly Fox Saintess in the southern region.

Thus, Hu Qianqiu was even more conflicted. He could only wait to see each of them demonstrate the Power of Faith they’ve collected before making a decision.

Five or six days later, amid the anticipation throughout Hu Capital, Yun Sheng and her party returned in haste.

Not long after returning to Hu Capital, Hu Qianqiu ordered the Great Witch Doctor and the Elder Council to join him at the Heavenly Fox Temple for the final Heavenly Fox Saintess test.

Upon arriving at the Temple, the entire hall was packed tight, even more lively than the last Heavenly Fox Saintess ceremony.

After all, this time’s saintess selection took longer and was more convoluted than any previous one’s.

In some respects, the difficulty of this selection raised the new Saintess’s popularity and prestige to new heights.

Hu Qianqiu, the Great Witch Doctor, and the Elder Council members realized this upon entering the Heavenly Fox Temple.

Shortly after Hu Qianqiu and others entered, Yun Sheng and Yu Shang also walked in.

A wave of cheers erupted, nearly overturning the Heavenly Fox Temple.

Hu Qianqiu and others stood in astonishment.

"Yu Shang! The pride of the Pureblood Sky Fox."

"Yun Sheng! We half-beasts support you."

These nearly evenly split cheers echoed back and forth, turning the once sacred and silent Heavenly Fox Temple into a sea of noise.

This popularity, these cheers, surpassed those when Hu Qianqiu the Clan Leader, the Great Witch Doctor, and others entered.

It’s no wonder, Yun Sheng and Yu Shang are both unprecedented seven-tailed Heavenly Foxes, young and exceptionally beautiful.

They each have the support of the purebloods and half-beasts, attracting their own respective followers.

Hu Qianqiu frowned, suddenly realizing that regardless of the outcome, this saintess election had benefited others.

Whoever becomes the Saintess, her future prestige within the tribe might surpass his as Clan Leader; this isn’t a good thing.

Hu Qianqiu carefully masked his change in expression.

Elsewhere, Hu Qiansui looked at Yun Sheng, his eyes burning with anger and hatred.

Hu Linglong, disguised as Yun Sheng, had gone to the northern region. She had written to Hu Qiansui half a month ago, saying she would return to Hu Capital several days ago.

However, up until today, his daughter Hu Linglong had not sent any news.

Hu Qiansui was anxious and suspicious that his daughter had secretly fallen victim to Yun Sheng.

This woman, he would never let her become the Saintess so easily.

The crowd began discussing fervently.

Everyone knew that in today’s final test, whoever obtained the most Power of Faith would become the next Saintess of the Sky Fox Tribe.

Yun Sheng walked over, Yu Shang looked at her with disdain.

"You still dare to come? If I were you, I wouldn’t embarrass myself by returning to Hu Capital. You must know by now, you’re definitely not my match," Yu Shang said, deliberately flaunting the two Faith Statues before Yun Sheng.

Seeing the two Faith Statues, Yun Sheng’s expression hardly changed.

"It seems Hu Linglong was your arrangement. That foolish woman is probably paying her due price now."

"Ha, you should worry about yourself. Once I become the Saintess, the first thing I’ll do is drive you and those annoying people around you out of the Sky Fox Tribe Country," Yu Shang sneered at Yun Sheng.

"Ladies, please approach the Heavenly Fox Statue and release the Power of Faith from your Faith Statues," Hu Qianqiu also sensed the tension between the two women, and led them to the Hu Yan Statue.

Yun Sheng and Yu Shang each took out their Faith Statues.

As the two women placed their Faith Statues forward, suddenly, a buzzing sound emitted from within the statues, as if thousands of tiny insects were vibrating their wings.

A continuous stream of firefly-like Power of Faith emerged from both Faith Statues, in such quantity that the onlookers, including Hu Qianqiu, were stunned.
