Chapter 45 The person behind the scenes
"What! Borrowing sixty years of life directly from the King of Hell?"

"Who on earth is this person?!"

At this moment, not far away from Chi You and his group, Jiao Jun, who was rushing over with the body of the Taoist priest in green robe, was stunned after hearing this conversation.

He knew that some terrifying beings could communicate with the underworld, but this was against the laws of heaven and earth. It was the first time he had seen someone asking the King of Hell to borrow someone's life, and in a rather tough manner.

"It seems that the strategy of fighting to the death is not feasible..."

Jiao Jun secretly rejected the previous strategy in his heart.

It is a bit beyond one's ability to try to shake a tree with the help of an ant.

"If there is really no other option, then we can only...right...just leave it like this!"

Jiao Jun made another decision in his mind.

Immediately, Jiao Jun brought the body of the Taoist in green robe to the hill where Chi You and his group were.

Seeing the Dragon King approaching, the Corpse Ancestor General immediately stepped forward and blocked the Dragon King.

However, before Jiang Chen could open his mouth to warn him, Jiao Jun suddenly fell to his knees with a flutter.

"Senior, I was forced to do all this. Please be magnanimous and spare my life."

Chi You frowned slightly.

The old Taoist priest Zhang Yunfu explained, "Old Ancestor, his name is Jiao Jun, a ninth-grade peak demon. He was accompanied by a Tiger Jun, but he seems to have died. As for this Taoist in green robe, he is also a ninth-grade peak demon, but... there seems to be something wrong with this Taoist in green robe."

When he saw the Taoist in green robe, a look of doubt appeared on Zhang Yunfu's face.

"His soul has escaped." Chi You saw through the mystery at a glance.

Hearing this, Zhang Yunfu suddenly understood.

No wonder this Taoist in green robe looks like a walking corpse.

"Senior is really amazing. He can see through the mystery at a glance." Jiao Jun immediately flattered him.

At this time, Zhang Jingxuan, who was sitting cross-legged and concentrating, suggested: "The ninth-rank demon has brought disaster to the area. Now that Tiger King is dead, please ask the ancestor to kill the Dragon King as well."

Without a ninth-grade peak demon leading them, the monsters nearby would not be able to do anything powerful.

Next, Longhu Mountain can focus all its attention on the monster in Qinling Mountains.

The old Heavenly Master Zhang Yunfu nodded slightly and agreed, "Grandmaster, what Heavenly Master Zhang said is correct."

Jiao Jun: “????”

"My two Heavenly Masters, apart from the minor conflict I just had with you, it seems that I have never offended you in any way in my daily life, right?"

Zhang Yunfu fell into silence. Sanqing Mountain was thousands of miles away, and he would need an opportunity to offend it.

Zhang Jingxuan said solemnly, "It is our duty to slay demons and monsters. As the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, I must naturally eliminate the evildoers like you who are causing troubles in the world."

The Dragon King was speechless.

That's not what you've been saying all these years.

What about the peaceful coexistence we promised?

"Senior, I am different from the unforgivable Tiger King. I, Luoyunjian, have never harmed the lives of ordinary people. Senior, please spare my life for the sake of my difficult cultivation."

Jiao Jun knelt and crawled towards Chi You. He knew that the final decision still lay with this senior.

He was simply too lazy to waste his breath on those two guys.

"What is your relationship with this Taoist in green robe?" Chi You asked.

As one of the three ancestors of China, from Chi You's point of view, there is no difference between demons and humans, as long as they do not cause harm to others. After all, sometimes humans are more vicious than these demons.

Now he just wanted to know the origins of this Taoist in green robe and how he could escape silently under his nose.

Jiao Jun quickly replied: "In reply to your words, Senior, I have nothing to do with this Taoist priest in green robes, but..."

Seeing that there was still hope for the situation, Jiao Jun immediately recounted everything that had happened before in detail.

After hearing this, Chi You was thoughtful. Sure enough, someone was behind this matter. It seemed that the problem lay with the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox.

The two Heavenly Masters Zhang Jingxuan and Zhang Yunfu were shocked when they heard this.

Only those who are promoted to demon immortals are qualified to see the master of this Taoist priest in green robe.

Then, to what extent will the power of this Taoist master in green robe be so terrifying?

The demon fairyland is just the threshold.

"Senior, the origin of this Taoist in green robe is too strange. This is all I know." Jiao Jun looked at Chi You nervously, waiting for the final result.

Seeing Chi You remained silent, Jiao Jun gritted his teeth and added: "If the senior is willing to spare my life, I am willing to serve you forever."

Although being a mount is somewhat embarrassing for a ninth-grade peak demon, it also depends on whose mount it is.

If he could get the support of this senior, it might not be a bad thing for Lord Jiao.

"It's quite interesting. You all came here for the Nine-tailed Fox. One of you wanted to seize the Nine-tailed Fox's spiritual charm, while the other wanted to prevent the other from seizing the Nine-tailed Fox's spiritual charm. However, you have overlooked one question from beginning to end. Does this Nine-tailed Fox actually exist?"

Chi You's one sentence touched upon the most crucial issue of the matter.

Perhaps they were all deceived by the cunning fox in Baiqiu Mountain.

Baiqiushan is weak, and it is unreasonable for him to openly declare war on a ninth-grade peak monster, unless the fox clan also has a ninth-grade peak monster.

This is an inertial way of thinking, so everyone chose to believe it. After all, who would make fun of their entire family for no reason?
But the cunning fox seized this opportunity and not only did it, but also succeeded.

The fox tribe didn't lose a single hair, but the tiger king had already died with hatred.

"..."

After hearing Chi You's words, everyone fell silent.

Yes!

No one has ever seen the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox in person, but they can feel the aura of a ninth-grade peak fox demon.

“Ancestor, but there is indeed the aura of the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox in this fox clan.”

For a moment, Zhang Jingxuan found it difficult to accept the fact that he was used as a thug by the fox clan.

"From beginning to end, have you ever seen this nine-tailed fox appear? Haha, let this be a lesson. Never underestimate the cunning of the fox tribe. Let's go and take a look at the fox tribe."

After Chi You finished speaking, he headed towards where the fox tribe of Baiqiu Mountain was.

"Ancestor, what about this Dragon King?" asked the old Taoist priest Zhang Yunfu.

Without waiting for Chi You to answer, Jiao Jun tactfully transformed into his true form and lay in front of Chi You, waiting to be ridden.

Chi You did not refuse and jumped onto the head of Jiao Jun.

Although it's just a dragon, it's okay.

Seeing this, the old Taoist priest Zhang Yunfu said nothing more. The old ancestor's meaning was already very clear. If he said anything more, it would be considered as ungrateful.

……

Fox family.

When the elders of the fox clan saw Bai Ling'er coming back, they hurried over to ask about the situation, and Gou Buli was among them.

The battle over there just now was like a fight between gods to these little monsters.

Although they knew the battle was over, they did not know what the outcome was.

But seeing that my king has returned safely, I think the outcome won't be too bad.

Looking at the tribesmen's expectant and anxious eyes, Bai Ling'er pondered for a moment and said:

"Tiger-kun is dead!"
