Crack...
Plop.
Another corpse was flung aside, immediately torn apart and devoured by the Fox Demons.
The Fox Matriarch hid beneath the violently swaying dense tree cover, her eyes revealing extreme irritation and frenzy.
Another Soul Search...
Another worthless one...
Even though the Divine Soul in the Crimson Palace Realm had strengthened considerably, "repeatedly performing Soul Search" was still very damaging.
Think about it, "If you continually integrate others’ memories into your Divine Soul, how can you discern what is truly yours and what belongs to another?"
The Fox Matriarch had long laid out her strategy.
First, she seized the opportunity when the Cold Pool Valley Market opened to launch a surprise attack on the Evil Land.
Following the Soul Search of the Stone Seat Elder, she quietly slipped away but left the fox cubs to continue wreaking havoc, pretending she hadn’t left—a classic diversionary tactic. She knew Song Yan had ventured to the Cold Pool Valley Market, so she hoped to lure back the strong ones from Cold Pool Valley.
Then, she actually arrived near the Cold Pool Valley Market long ago but did not attack immediately, aware that nearly all the Profound Cultivators of the Three Kingdoms were assembled in the market. If she were in full strength, a confrontation would not be out of the question.
But having previously engaged with the Fox Stabbing Alliance and then clashing head-on in the Evil Land, followed by a rushed journey, she had expended much energy and her injuries remained unhealed.
Her plan was: once Gu Huangzi and his men returned to the Puppet Sect and understood her intentions, and learned of her purposely released misinformation about "finding Song Yan," they would probably have someone take Song Yan away. She only needed to wait patiently in ambush.
Today, several cultivators had left the market, all of whom she slaughtered, then performed Soul Search on their memories...
Yet, up to this point, she hadn’t found a trace of memory related to Song Yan, except for one insignificant recollection that the "Song Master of the Puppet Sect seemed to reside in a cultivator tavern in the market."
After tossing aside yet another body, the Fox Matriarch took several deep breaths, looking anxiously and angrily at the distant market.
Even if everything else in the treasure trove were lost, she wouldn’t be this impatient... 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
But why was it specifically the last remaining tiger cub of the Changwang Tiger Race?
She wanted to privately hoard the Changwang Tiger Essence Blood, so she took the chance to leave the Multi-tailed Fox Race under the pretext of "the Wei King seeking aid."
Over the years, she had feigned establishing a clan branch outside and spreading her lineage, but it was merely preparation for absorbing the "Changwang Tiger Essence Blood."
She cares not about the chaos in the Wei Kingdom.
She also doesn’t care how recklessly the fox cubs prance or perish.
Her goals were only twofold:
Firstly, to nurture and devour the strongest among the fox cubs, raising her own racial blood purity via Secret Technique, solidifying the "Central Palace Blood" within her;
Secondly, to mislead, deliberately creating the appearance that she intended to root herself in the Three Kingdoms, engaging local cultivators in life-and-death struggles.
Seeing the time nearing, as she was about ready, the "Changwang Tiger" carelessly got snatched by that cunning little thief!
