It was the Su Family's Blood Refining ancestor.

His cultivation could only be considered as having just entered the Blood Refining stage, and this was only after being aided by the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox Clan to overcome the fierce wind tribulation. Six months ago, he was merely a martial artist at the peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm.

"Ziyue…"

The Su Family ancestor sighed softly outside the door.

Hearing the ancestor's sigh, Su Ziyue felt something amiss in her heart and asked in a low voice:

"Has something happened?"

"Today, a powerful figure of the Fox Clan came and talked to me about something."

"What was it?"

"The news of your possessing pure Divine Race bloodline and highly talented cultivation has spread to the Southern Border Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox Divine Race, and on their side…"

The Su Family ancestor hesitated.

"Ancestor, just say it directly."

"On their side, they hope you can return to the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox Divine Race to cultivate, offering you the best resources to completely refine your bloodline with the Heavenly Fox Divine Pond."

"And the price?"

Su Ziyue continued to ask.

There is no free lunch in the world. She had previously enhanced her Heavenly Fox bloodline with a sacred artifact from the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox Clan, and now they actually want to use the Divine Pond, clearly with considerable intentions.

"The price is for you to marry the current Divine Son of the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox Clan."

Su Ziyue furrowed her brows and immediately rejected:

"That's impossible!"

"Ziyue, that Divine Son is the most talented existence in the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox Clan in the past few hundred years, possessing true Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox Divine Blood, has been established as the Young Clan Chief of the Fox Clan, and has been cultivating in seclusion for over a hundred years. He is now stronger than you by a line, and the reason he wants to marry you is…"

"Enough. Ancestor, there's no need to say more. This matter is absolutely impossible for Ziyue to agree to." Su Ziyue snorted coldly.

"At first, I also refused for you, but… the arm can't bend the thigh. That Fox Clan strong figure didn't relent, giving me seven days to persuade you to agree."

"What if I persist in refusing?"

Su Ziyue asked.

The Su Family ancestor didn't speak, but sometimes, silence is the best answer. The Su Family was merely a pawn of the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox Clan in the Central Plains.

When can a pawn rebel against the player?

He had no choice.

Su Ziyue was also the most gifted offspring of the Su Family in the past few hundred years, only a little over forty years old and already reaching the Primordial Spirit Realm, with a future full of unlimited possibilities.

But…

The Su Family ancestor sighed softly.

Su Ziyue remained silent for a moment, taking a deep breath:

"Ancestor, will our Su Family truly be the eternal pawn of the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox Clan? Do you know that pawns can be discarded? The Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox Clan can discard the Su Family at any time. Only by truly mastering our own power can we stand firm in the world."

"What do you mean?"

Upon hearing this, the Su Family ancestor's expression changed, sensing Su Ziyue's intent to kill.

"Detach from the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox Clan. I can have the Su Family leave South State and head to other states, ensuring the Su Family's safety. We've been mice for hundreds of years, and it's time to end."

"No. Ziyue, do you know why the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox Clan supported our Su Family as pawns? It's precisely because they are sure we wouldn't dare rebel, for all of us Su's possess Fox Clan bloodline.

Once it's spread, we have no place to belong in the Central Plains. Only here, relying on the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox Clan, can we thrive. This matter… do not mention it again. I will pretend you never uttered these words."

The Su Family ancestor's expression was unpleasant.

Humans and demons have a blood feud, eternally in a relentless situation. The Su Family inherited from the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox lineage, having done numerous harm to the Human Race.

Once the fact that they bear demon bloodline gets out, it's not just the court that might order the extermination of the entire Su Family, even the sect masters and fighters in Jianghu would not let the Su Family go.

The Human Race might be fractured and disjointed, locked in territorial disputes, but he knew, when faced with the great enemy of the demon race, they could quickly reach a consensus.

Not our kin, their heart must be different!

This ancient saying circulating in the Central Plains contains truth.

The only way out for a 'traitor to humanity' like the Su Family is bloodline reversion, departing from humanity to truly become a Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, accepted by them.

If it weren't for this, would the Su Family willingly be controlled as pawns for hundreds of years? If it weren't for this, how could the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox lineage trust the Su Family?

He understood the stakes involved, impossible to agree to Su Ziyue's words.

Because he wouldn't let the Su Family legacy of hundreds of years be destroyed by his hands, the lives of tens of thousands of direct and collateral kin are controlled by the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox Clan!

"Ancestor is resolute?"

"The Su Family has no other path, Ziyue. Although I don't want you to marry a demon, it's our only way out. I'm aware of your resistance and will try to delay for a few days so you can think it over thoroughly. If you can come to terms, it would be the best option, after all, once you marry the Young Clan Chief of the Fox Clan.

The situation of our Su Family will improve significantly and won't always be pawns…"

The Su Family ancestor continued persuading.

"And if Ziyue still refuses?"

"Then I can't resist that demon race strong figure…"

Su Ziyue's gaze flickered with cold, remained silent for a moment, then said:

"What level is that Fox Clan strong figure's cultivation?"

"Great Saint!"

Demon race Great Saint!

Su Ziyue furrowed her brows slightly, knowing what this meant; it meant that Fox Clan strong figure's status was likely very high even within the Fox Clan.

Comparable to a Human Race True Monarch!

"Ziyue understands. I'll think it over in the coming days. Ancestor, please leave." Su Ziyue said flatly.

The Su Family ancestor nodded, as long as Su Ziyue was willing to consider, it meant there was hope. Perhaps, the situation wouldn't escalate too severely.

"Think it over carefully. If you need anything for cultivation, have someone tell me."

After saying this, the Su Family ancestor shook his head and strode out of the mountain waist cave dwelling.

"Thank you, ancestor." Su Ziyue said with cold eyes, behind her, a fluffy white fox tail emerged from her body, swaying slowly in the void, extremely eerie…
