Reincarnated As a Fox With System

Chapter 621: Greed and Deception!

Tang Li Xue activated her [Ethereal Form] and [Art of Concealment] to turn herself invisible, while Little Loki and Yaya also used their own skills to turn themselves invisible.

There were more than twenty buildings in this City Lord Mansion, but some of them had already been destroyed to pieces by the great explosion while many of them were currently burning in the fierce flame.

Tang Li Xue chose the largest building located in the middle of the most luxurious courtyard, and she brought Yaya and Little Loki to break into it.

Tang Li Xue was very sure that this largest building was supposed to be the main residence of the City Lord Mansion.

However, she was not quite sure if the City Lord would really bring those captured foxes into his main residence and imprison them somewhere here.

.....

While Tang Li Xue and her group were busily looking around randomly to find any trace or clue about the captured foxes, the amber-colored fox had already sneaked into the City Lord Mansion too along with the Eternal Joyous Cult.

The one who created the previous great explosion was the amber-colored fox, but the people from the Eternal Joyous Cult was the one who found the best timing for it when all the guards and their captains were too occupied to capture Tang Li Xue.

”How long your flames can last?” The middle-aged man asked the amber-colored fox with a hoarse voice.

This middle-aged man covered in black clothes was the leader of the Eternal Joyous Cult, but no one knew his true identity until now.

”Do not worry~! My flames should be able to last for at least two more hours from now. Their meaningless action can only slow down the speed of my flame spreading around. In these two hours, we can do whatever we want here.” The amber-colored fox proudly replied.

”How about the preparation on your side? Our plan will utterly fail if the City Lord comes back before we can complete our task.” The amber-colored fox asked back the leader of the Eternal Joyous Cult.

The leader of the Eternal Joyous Cult sneered at the amber-colored fox and replied to reassure it: ”I have already made enough preparation beforehand. Even the emergency request for help sent by those guard captains would never reach the City Lord tonight since my people already took care of it. The City Lord will not come back here until dawn.”

The amber-colored fox nodded appreciatively at the leader of the Eternal Joyous Cult.

Even though the amber-colored fox looked down on humans and felt extremely disgusted to cooperate with humans, but it did not have any other choice than to do it because it did not have a mind-controlling type divine ability like Tang Li Xue.

However, the amber-colored fox was quite confident in its ability to negotiate and deceive these greedy and ambitious humans.

Tang Li Xueʼs previous guess was actually mostly correct.

The Eternal Joyous Cult was a secret organization under the control of the City Lord, but Tang Li Xue failed to realize that the Human Race always has boundless greed and would never be satisfied with what they have.

So, the leader of the Eternal Joyous Cult was actually very unhappy to be under the control of the City Lord, and he had long wanted to get out of the City Lordʼs control.

The amber-colored fox who already knew the Human Raceʼs boundless greed and ambition secretly found and persuaded the leader of the Eternal Joyous Cult to team up with it temporarily.

The amber-colored fox actually has the divine ability to detect nearby precious treasures or cultivation resources.

Then the amber-colored fox made a deal with the leader of the Eternal Joyous Cult that it would help him find all of the precious treasures or cultivation resources hidden in the City Lord Mansion as long as he helped it find and save the detained foxes.

The cultivation of the Eternal Joyous Cultʼs leader had already reached the peak of the Core Formation Stage, and he was only a half step away from the Nascent Soul Stage.

He thought that he certainly could breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage as long as he had enough precious treasures or cultivation resources.

At that time, his Eternal Joyous Cult would officially become the fifth behemoth powerhouse in this Mountain Fortress City!

The eyes of the Eternal Joyous Cultʼs leader turned red as his mind and heart were flooded with unstoppable greed and ambition.

While the amber-colored fox secretly sneered at the Eternal Joyous Cult in its heart. It might promise to find all of the precious treasures or cultivation resources hidden in the City Lord Mansion, but it never mentions anything about who will have them in the end.

How could the amber-colored fox give up on any of them?!

Whether to save the detained foxes or to obtain the precious treasures and cultivation resources in this City Lord Mansion, the amber-colored fox clearly wants them all~!

The amber-colored fox stared at the leader of Eternal Joyous Cult from behind with an expression filled with disdain and mockery.

The Eternal Joyous Cult had already planted many insiders in the City Lord Mansion, so they could easily obtain any important information they wanted.

The Eternal Joyous Cultʼs leader already knew where the kidnapped foxes were currently being held, and he hastily led the amber-colored fox along with his own subordinates to find those kidnapped foxes first.

Unfortunately for Tang Li Xue, those kidnapped foxes were not imprisoned in the main residence of the City Lord Mansion at all.

Those kidnapped foxes were imprisoned in the secret underground dungeon under the City Lordʼs side hall, and Tang Li Xue might never be able to find them even if she checked all the rooms and buildings in this City Lordʼs Mansion carefully one by one.

Meanwhile, Tang Li Xue had already wasted more than half an hour looking around the main residence of the City Lord, but she still failed to find any trace or clue about the kidnapped foxes.
She even already used her [Mystic Whisper] to interrogate more than a dozen maids or servants, but no one knew anything about it.

Yaya, Little Loki, and its two [Phantom Splitter] clones had also helped Tang Li Xue check so many rooms one by one. Unfortunately, they also did not find anything useful.

”Damn it~! How the hell we can find those kidnapped foxes in a place this big?! This is clearly a mission impossible~!” Tang Li Xue groaned in anger and annoyance.

Just when Tang Li Xue became extremely frustrated, then a faint thought to just give up and run away as soon as possible from here had appeared in her mind...

BAAAAAAANNGG~!

A group of black-clothed people had kicked open the gate of this main residence and broken into here forcefully!

A few teams of guards that were guarding here hastily unsheathed their weapons and attacked those black-clothed people fiercely.

However, those black-clothed people were too strong, and they slaughtered all of the guards in only a few breaths!

Tang Li Xue quickly pulled away Yaya and Little Loki, then hid together with them before those black-clothed people saw her group.

ʼWho are those people? The people from Eternal Joyous Cult?ʼ Tang Li Xue frowned while pondering carefully.

But Tang Li Xueʼs sullen expression immediately turned into delight and even her topaz blue eyes shone like a pair of blue stars in excitement when she saw a group of fox girls with those black-clothed people!

Yes, these kidnapped fox girls might not be detained in the main residence, but the precious treasures and the cultivation resources were certainly hidden inside the main residence of the City Lordʼs Mansion!

After the people of Eternal Joyous Cult and the amber-colored fox released these kidnapped fox girls from the secret underground dungeon, they brought the kidnapped fox girls with them here to find the hidden precious treasures and the cultivation resources.

ʼWoah~! Is this the legendary chance encounter?! Tsk, tsk, tsk... It seems these kidnapped fox girls are already fated to be saved by me~! Then I will gladly accept them with open arms~!ʼ Tang Li Xue thought while grinning in joy.

Tang Li Xue also quickly spotted the amber-colored fox among them, but she did not think much about it since the strength of the amber-colored fox was only at the predator level.

It might not be easy to kill the amber-colored fox, but anyone of Tang Li Xue, Little Loki, and Yaya could still at least fight against the amber-colored fox for some time without losing, and they could easily run away from it too.

The real problem for Tang Li Xue and her group was those black-clothed people!

This group of black-clothed people might not be many, but their strength was extremely powerful, not weaker than the previous guard captains at all!

When those black-clothed people were fighting against the City Lordʼs guards just now, Tang Li Xue could sense that their cultivation had already reached the Core Formation Stage!

Especially the middle-aged man at the most front... He might be the leader of the black-clothed people since his cultivation level was the highest among them.

Even if Tang Li Xue reverted to her fox form and entered [Divine Possession] mode with Yaya, she might not be able to last for long against that leader of the black-clothed people!

”Sigh... The chance is here, but our strength is not enough to compete head-on with them. Letʼs wait patiently first and see what they want to do here~!” Tang Li Xue muttered to Little Loki and Yaya, so both of them would not make any rash move without her command.
