Chapter 897: Chapter 892: Boundless Sea, Limitless Heart

The delicate body of the young girl vanished, leaving only a little silver fox, barely the size of a palm, on the ground.

No need to say.

The girl just now must have transformed into this silver fox.

Now.

The silver fox before him is its true form!

“A silver fox from the Demon Fox Clan! The silver fox branch is the rarest among the Demon Fox Clan.”

Lin Tian frowned as he looked at the little silver fox on the ground, his face filled with doubt, “However, this little creature was probably possessed by that demon soul earlier. No wonder the demon soul could hide so deeply; it must have used this little silver fox. The most terrifying talent of the silver fox clan is transformation. As long as they change into something else, it’s hard to detect them even with strong Divine Sense unless one possesses powerful Divine Power Secret Techniques.”

Feeling a sigh in his heart, Lin Tian walked towards the little silver fox.

Now.

Lin Tian was pondering how to deal with this little creature.

Generally speaking.

The silver fox clan is naturally timid and cautious, with inherently kind hearts.

When they see ordinary humans or powerful beasts or cultivators, they choose to avoid them.

As long as others don’t enter their territory, they won’t attack anyone else.

Therefore.

Lin Tian didn’t intend to kill this silver fox.

Ah~

As he approached, the little silver fox on the ground rolled over like a ball of flesh and staggeredly retreated quickly, hiding behind a stone.

Zhi Zhi~

The little silver fox poked out half of its head, its beautiful little eyes watching Lin Tian cautiously, emitting a series of sharp cries.

The sound was piercing yet pleasant, mixed with urgency and fear.

“Don’t be scared, I’m not that demon soul!”

Seeing the frightened anthropomorphic expression on the little silver fox, Lin Tian immediately spoke up, “The demon soul has already fled. Can you understand what I’m saying?”

“Ah… Zhi Zhi Zhi…”

The little silver fox was momentarily stunned, then nodded repeatedly, the vigilance and fear in its eyes gradually fading away.

Indeed, it can understand!

Lin Tian had heard of the wisdom of silver foxes in his previous life!

He immediately asked, “Were you captured by the demon soul? Where is your clan?”

“Zhi Zhi~”

The little silver fox nodded, its two front paws made very human-like gestures before pointing northwards.

Lin Tian looked towards the direction it pointed, suddenly realizing, “Are you saying your silver fox clan is in the Central Continent?”

“Ah~ Zhi Zhi~”

The little silver fox nodded repeatedly.

“Do you know the way back?”

Lin Tian glanced at the sky, which was beginning to darken, and exclaimed, “You should leave immediately and travel overnight; otherwise, during the day, you’re likely to encounter nefarious people, and no one will be able to save you then!”

This little silver fox was still very young.

It had no cultivation at all, and even an ordinary hunter would capture it with no resistance.

“Ah~”

The little silver fox looked troubled, scratching its head, and gestured towards Lin Tian.

“I can’t understand what you’re gesturing!”

Lin Tian shook his head with a bitter smile, turned around, and walked away, “I need to be on my way too, little one, you should hurry up and go!”

But.

Lin Tian had only taken a few steps when, with a swish, the little silver fox ran to his foot, hugged one of his legs with its little paws, and gently tugged at his pants.

Zhi Zhi~

The little silver fox lifted its small head, shaking it continuously towards Lin Tian, its expression pleading.

Lin Tian furrowed his brows and thought for a moment before asking, “You don’t know the way back, do you?”

Zhi Zhi~

The little silver fox nodded repeatedly, seemingly thrilled that Lin Tian understood it.

“But I don’t have the time to take you to Central Continent right now!”

Lin Tian spread his hands, speaking helplessly.

He had to hurry to Wuya Mountain and then head to East Continent.

Zhi Zhi~

At this moment, the little silver fox tugged at Lin Tian’s pants again, and with its little paws, it pointed at itself and then at Lin Tian, using its paws to mimic walking, one in front and the other behind.

“You mean you want to follow me?”

Lin Tian’s expression froze, speaking in astonishment.

“Ah~”

The little silver fox nodded repeatedly, looking very excited.

Lin Tian’s face turned dark, helplessly glancing around the vast wilderness.

If he were to simply leave the little silver fox here, he would feel some guilt.

After considering it, Lin Tian said earnestly, “You can follow me, but you must obey one rule—listen to me at all times and don’t cause trouble! I know you can transform into many things, so entering the Storage Bag isn’t difficult. So, usually, either stay quietly in the Storage Bag or be in my pocket if you want to get some air. Can you do that?”

“Ah~”

The little silver fox’s eyes lit up brightly, nodding repeatedly, and then, with a swish, it transformed into a silver light and leaped onto Lin Tian’s Soul Suppressing Whip at his waist, turning into a Jade Pendant, hanging from his waist without any discrepancy.

“Fine, I’ll bring it along! When there’s a chance to go to Central Continent, I’ll let it leave on its own!”

Lin Tian muttered to himself, pursing his lips, and then stepped into the dim wilderness road, flying upwards on his Flying Sword.

An hour later.

The River North Province terrain appeared in view.

Lin Tian did not enter the city area but directly arrived above the Shennongjia Forest.

The vast wilderness was covered in endless darkness.

But, everything was hardly different from daytime for Lin Tian.

He stood on his Flying Sword and quickly reached the depths of Shennongjia.

Here, it was truly isolated from the world.

Apart from barren mountains and raw stone forests, and the sporadic beast roars, there was no sign of human presence.

Following the direction JiMoo Ruxue had mentioned earlier, Lin Tian flew on his Flying Sword for a while, finally sighting a huge mountain peak on the horizon.

From afar.

One side of the mountain peak had extremely gentle terrain, with numerous broken walls and collapsed various pavilions and towers above.

This must have been the location of the Wuya Mountain Sect back then.

But.

It had now become ruins, not what it used to be.

On the other side of the mountain range was a towering cliff, with a massive lake below, endless, reaching halfway up the cliff.

“Wuya Mountain, Jaja’s sect back then! And perhaps the name ‘Wuya’ came from this?”

Lin Tian thought to himself, sitting down not far from Wuya Mountain.

He decided to go up the mountain when the day broke.

He had come to Wuya Mountain this time to find the Nine Celestial Stone Map, and he had to ensure he searched every corner of the Wuya Mountain area.

There were no longer any cultivators in Wuya Mountain Sect.

He had to search on his own.

Quickly, daylight came.

Lin Tian stood up and walked up Wuya Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, he could see the winding stone steps leading up, preserved in good condition.

Additionally, there was a stone gate ahead, only partially collapsed.

“Boundless sea, heart without bounds!”

On half of the stone gate was this phrase, with a giant stone pillar lying across, slanting there.

Lin Tian stepped along the stone steps, noticing collapsed buildings everywhere, and many burnt houses.

There were even deep sword marks visible on the stone steps.

Clearly.

A fierce battle occurred here back then.

Lin Tian scanned the surroundings with his Divine Sense while pondering JiMoo Ruxue’s introduction about the Nine Celestial Stone Map, frowning as he walked forward.

Soon, Lin Tian arrived before the main hall of Wuya Mountain.
