Chronicles Of The Shura Clan

" I am not here to kill you nor to take your child away from you. I just want to ask you a few questions." Ling Chen said as he landed on the ground, a few meters away from the injured black fox.

The moment Ling Chen landed on the ground, the demeanor of the black fox changed completely. Its eyes that were filled with motherly love and gentleness turned cold and deadly. At the same time, a strong killing aura rose from its body.

The injured black fox was on high alert. It could tell that this human child wasn\'t simple. In fact, this little human was most likely the most frightening human it had ever met.

Though this human child\'s body didn\'t emit any strong aura, the injured black fox felt an incredible sense of danger from him.

Unlike humans, demon beasts have a keen sense of instinct. Without it, they wouldn\'t be able to sense any other being stronger than them. And right now its instinct was telling her that this human child was a monster among monsters.

Just by being close to the human child made her have a feeling of suffocation. Even if it was at its prime, it wouldn\'t be able to last long against that human child.

The injured black fox felt like an ant facing a towering mountain, which was kind of ironic because her body was several times bigger than that human child.

While the injured black fox was observing him, Ling Chen was also observing the black fox.

Seeing the black fox up close, Ling Chen was taken aback. The Black fox was at least three meters long and two meters tall. It was way bigger than he thought. Its tall immense body was pitch black and was also covered with extremely dense straight wavy black stripes that looked like a decorative pattern. They were exceedingly alluring.

Its cold black eyes were giving forth a shining luster and currently looking at him with an immense animosity. Its deadly eyes were filled with boundless wrath.

It possessed the kind of claws and teeth that could easily tear apart any creature. Each and every one of its six tails was as long as two meters and their tips were shaped like arrows\' heads.

"What are you?." Suddenly asked the injured black fox after a long silence.

This human child\'s body was very strange. His body was like a vacuum or a black hole that absorbed all negatives emotion and energy. It could clearly see that the surrounding heaven and earth energy was avoiding the human child\'s body as though it was a plague or was repulsed by it. At the same time, his body was like a magnet as it attracted and absorbed negative energy like its killing aura.

Its body was emanating a strong killing intent as well as a deep animosity, yet none of them affected the human child and was absorbed by him instead. This was totally unheard of.

Killing intent or aura was almost the same as spiritual pressure. Although it couldn\'t be seen visibly with the naked eye, it could be felt.

" What do you mean?" Asked Ling Chen in confusion.

Instead of asking him who he was, the black fox asked him what he was which kinda confused him as he didn\'t know how to answer that question.

Seeing the confused look on Ling Chen\'s face, the black fox wanted to further explain but kept quiet instead. Right now, the most important thing was to find out the motive of that human child.

" If you are not here to kill me or to take my child away from me. What do you want then!." Asked the injured black fox in a feminine but weak voice.

From her voice alone, Ling Chen could tell that it was on her last breath and was alive only through sheer will power and the strong desire to protect her child. Furthermore, though it was very faint, a burning smell could be found emanating from its body.

" What is a powerful 7th rank demon beast like yourself doing so deep in my Heavenly Demon Sect domain."

"According to the pact that the two Human Saints made with your Demon Beast Saints, no demon beasts above the 6th rank are allowed to venture deep within any human\'s influence without that influence\'s permission and the same goes to our human warrior."

Listening to Ling Chen\'s question, the 7th rank demon beast chose to remain silent. There was indeed such a pact and breaking that pact would be considered as a sign of aggression. The trespasser could be killed on-site without any repercussions. However, because of its circumstances, it didn\'t have any choice.

Seeing how the injured black fox didn\'t answer his question and chose to remain silent instead, Ling Chen already got his answer.

There was only one instance where a demon beast would break the pact made by the Human Saints and the Demon beast Saints, and ventured deep within the human territory.

It was most likely being chased by a powerful enemy. An enemy that was strong enough to the point where it had no choice but to leave the whole demon beast mountain range.

As for why it was being chased or what it did, Ling Chen had no idea.

"My name is Muyan, and I am from the Nine-Tail Fox Clan in the Snow Mountain." While Ling Chen was still deep in thought, he suddenly heard the weak voice of the injured black fox rang out within his mind again.

Because the black fox was a 7th rank demon beast and hadn\'t broken through the 8th rank yet where it could transform into a human form, it could only speak or communicate telepathically with Ling Chen.

However, the Injured black fox didn\'t stop there as it continued.

"The Nine-Tail Fox clan is mostly composed of women, and it isn\'t that well versed in combat like the other demon beast clan."

" The women in our Nine-Tail Fox clan are all very beautiful and are all versed in the art of seduction as we\'ve all also inherited our ancestors\' bewitching abilities. Hence, in order to protect our clan, we used these abilities to manipulate powerful demon beasts to do our bidding as well as making alliances through marriage by using our most beautiful women."

"However, everything changed when I was born, the only black fox in our clan. Legend has it that the Black Fox that only appears once every ten thousand years in our clan was the most vicious and also has the highest potential of becoming a Saint beast in the entire Nine-Tail fox clan. Not only they were well versed in combat, but they were also born with a seductive physique. They were beautiful temptress of the demon beast world that drove countless men crazy. They were like a disaster for all living beings."

"Because of that, there was a huge commotion in the Demon beast mountain range when I was born as every powerful demon beast wanted to have me for themselves like a prize."

" In the end, to quell the unrest of the demon beast mountain range, the Saint Tiger Clan had ordered for our Nine-Tail Fox Clan to marry me to their Young future Lord Bai Tian once I break through the 8th rank and took on a human form."

" As our Nine-Tail Fox Clan was dying to have a connection with such a strong ally, the marriage was set. I also wasn\'t against the marriage as we demon beast valued strength the most, and Bai Tian was the most outstanding genius of the Saint Tiger clan and also the successor that the Saint Tiger Clan focused on cultivating for years."

"Everything was going well until three years ago I found out that Bai Tian was the one responsible for slaughtering my entire Nine-Tail Fox Clan and blamed him on the Wolf Clan, our sworn enemy."

" As for why he did it, I had no idea. The only thing I know is that I had to kill him at all costs to appease the blood of my fallen clansmen. However, my assassination\'s plan failed and I was desperately chased by the Saint Tiger Clan and had no choice but to leave and break the pact made by the Saints."

" To make matters worse, I found out that later on, I was pregnant with his child. I don\'t know how but he also found out as well which made him, even more, determined to catch me, not to mention I also stole something very precious from their clan."

" So human, I know you are very strong. I beg you to save my baby from them. My child is the last of our kind." Said the black fox after telling Ling Chen her sad story. Her voice carried a pleading yet weak voice as if it was without energy.

After listening to the Black Fox\'s sad story, It was impossible not to empathize with her. However, that was it. Ling Chen didn\'t feel like he owed her something or had the obligation to help her. Not to mention helping her would make him an enemy of a powerful demon beast clan, a demon beast clan that was being overseen by a powerful Saint beast.

Thinking for a moment, Ling Chen Spoke, " Why would I help you? I don\'t even know you nor do I owe you anything? "

Even though Ling Chen wasn\'t afraid of trouble, that didn\'t mean he was going to look for it everywhere, especially when there was nothing to gain.

It was a though the injured black fox knew Ling Chen was going to refuse and was already prepared for that as it said." I have something as well as information that even a human Martial Saint would die to get his hand on."
