The Immortal Seeker: Legend of Bronze Mirror

Chapter 296: Deal with the Heart Moon Fox Northern Harvest (Second Update)


The Capital remains a rare place of bustling prosperity in the world.

A place called the Extreme Delight Pavilion, like a mysterious pearl in the city, exudes a unique charm.

Wang Gong, the Minister of Personnel, normally dignified and composed in the court, appeared slightly nervous and secretive at this moment. He quietly arrived at the Extreme Delight Pavilion, skillfully made his way through layer after layer of corridors, bypassed the cheerful crowds, and finally reached an extremely secluded elegant room.

Inside the elegant room, the atmosphere was ambiguous and charming. The Heart Moon Fox had transformed into a very beautiful young maiden, wearing revealing and daring attire. On her exquisite face was a faint, elusive smile that seemed to captivate the soul. The hem of her skirt fluttered gently, the hidden creamy skin within faintly visible, sparking wild imaginations.

She elegantly tapped the pipe in her hand, her voice melodious as an oriole leaving the valley, and smiled sweetly, "Xu Qing, I've already taken care of the matter for you. Now, hand over my reward."

As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Gong suddenly froze, and his aura abruptly changed. A shadow surged from his body, instantly transforming into Xu Qing.

It turned out, the six-tailed fox they came to apprehend had turned against them on the spot, and this was all part of Xu Qing's carefully devised plot. Utilizing Wang Gong's transaction with the Heart Moon Fox was the key segment in this plan.

The Heart Moon Fox, as the king of all foxes in the world, possesses great Divine Skills and holds a revered status in the Demon Clan. With its covert assistance, Xu Qing managed to successfully turn the six-tailed fox, making it reveal the Zhang family's crimes at the crucial moment, leaving their misdeeds nowhere to hide.

Xu Qing's ability to connect with the Heart Moon Fox was thanks to the Red-haired Yan Kong, who had taken on the form of a Blood Bodhi Tree serving as their intermediary. In this world, everything is a matter of personal connections and obligations.

Though Xu Qing, the Heart Moon Fox, and Red-haired Yan Kong were once foes, the depth of understanding between them surpasses that of ordinary friends, thus laying a strong foundation for their cooperation.

Now, the Extreme Delight Pavilion, established by the Heart Moon Fox, has become a lavish den sought after by the powerful aristocratic families in the Capital. This pavilion is renowned, not only for its dazzling luxurious decorations but also for the many entertainments within that captivate one's attention.

Even the many playboys of the Capital, accustomed to seeing the world and its pleasures, find themselves inevitably drawn into this unique atmosphere upon stepping into the Extreme Delight Pavilion, lost in its intoxicating and hedonistic world.

However, the Heart Moon Fox acts with great discretion and has never committed any extreme actions like amassing wealth through harmful means. Entertainment remains the main focus, which is precisely why the Extreme Delight Pavilion can stand firmly in the Capital.

Naturally, Xu Qing had no intention of having the Heart Moon Fox deal with the powerful in the Capital, but using its identity to carry out some other form of cooperation or gather information was most appropriate. Moreover, with Wang Gong, the Minister of Personnel, frequenting the Pavilion, it both avoids drawing attention and minimizes unnecessary trouble.

The Heart Moon Fox also delighted in having such a high-standing figure as Wang Gong as a strong supporter for the Extreme Delight Pavilion. Together, they reached a tacit understanding and collaborated seamlessly.

"This is the Annihilation Scripture Magic Door for severing emotional ties, which can help you cut off the connection with your main body. This way, you won't have to carry the heavy burden of rescuing your main body," Xu Qing said, his voice steady and powerful.

The Heart Moon Fox's main body was suppressed in the Alchemy Well on Dragon Tiger Mountain, the seals there extremely powerful, and only the old Heavenly Master had the ability to open them.

However, now that the old Heavenly Master has transcended in rebirth, it's impossible for him to help the Heart Moon Fox unlock the seal. Besides, Xu Qing had no desire to release such a powerful demon.

Thus, he came up with a compromise, letting the Heart Moon Fox detach from its main body, thereby thoroughly resolving this issue.

Moreover, should the Heart Moon Fox's main body escape, the Heart Moon Fox as a separate entity would probably most wish for the main body's demise!

Because once the separate entity gains independence, they would inevitably enter an endless battle with each other, with only such a path to achieving a complete self, ascending to a higher level.

This is also the drawback of being a separate entity. Unless the main body is absolutely imposing, able to control everything, otherwise, long-term detachment will gradually give rise to an independent consciousness.

Xu Qing demonstrated utmost sincerity, and the Heart Moon Fox gladly accepted. If it were in its nascent stage, it might not have accepted this, but now having developed some independent consciousness, it instinctively wanted to break away from the main body's control.

Additionally, the Heart Moon Fox derived a lower version of the Taiyin Divine Spell from the Taiyin Divine Thunder Spell given by the Red-haired Yan Kong, and with the Taiyin Divine Spell, it successfully shielded itself from the main body's connection, granting it an excellent opportunity for complete separation from the main body's control.

Xu Qing, as ever, acted openly, without resorting to any underhanded schemes like Red-haired Yan Kong.

After the gains, the Heart Moon Fox was very satisfied. Its enchanting eyes flowed, and if Xu Qing hadn't appeared in the form of an illusion this time, the Heart Moon Fox wouldn't have hesitated to enjoy a moment with this Wenqu Star.

The essence of Wenqu Star is irresistible to any demon or ghost, who wouldn't want to give it a try? The Heart Moon Fox licked its lips, a hint of regret flashing in its eyes.

However, Xu Qing was unromantic, disappearing without a trace once the deal was done.

Wang Gong dared not linger long with the Heart Moon Fox either; this alluring fox was simply too mesmerizing, and at his age, he couldn't withstand such temptation!

After completing the transaction, Xu Qing, along with Xiong Chan leading a group of Daoist and Buddhist experts, devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the compilation of the Martial Arts Scripture and the Daoist Scripture.
