Chapter 153: Night Raid on Fire Fox

  Guo Fei is not a reckless person, so he is so determined because he has confidence in his heart. His own ghost soldier team, most of them have reached the level of ghost general, plus their physical strength and the six Ding six Jia phantom killing array has reached 60% proficiency, its power has gradually emerged, plus five treasured artifacts, if not encountering an extremely powerful team, these two ghost soldier teams can slaughter thousands of people.

  Adding Tianhunzi, it's enough to deal with a top-notch expert like the Demon King. According to what Guo Fei learned from Hu Xiaoyue, there is at most one Demon King in the Huo Huo tribe.

  There is also Miao Yu, although she says so with her mouth, but at critical moments she will take action. She doesn't want to be recognized by people in Beiyuan. A person lives for their face, a tree lives for its skin. The reason why Miao Yu readily agreed to go to Zhongzhou with Guo Fei is that Guo Fei also understood her psychology. In the past, she was famous in Beiyuan as the national teacher, but unexpectedly, she was "sold" by the Tang Empire. This face can't be hung up, and there's no face to meet fellow Taoists in Beiyuan.

  There are two powerful masters sitting in town, Guo Fei thinks the chances of winning are extremely high. Moreover, after opening up the source boundary, the original energy in the source nourishes his body and bones, making his physique gradually stronger. After a year and a half underground, Guo Fei feels that his physical strength has become much more robust.

  Guo Fei deeply felt that the yuanqi after breaking through the source boundary was indeed different from the yuanqi after upgrading his martial arts. The martial arts energy was overbearing and contained a fierce aura, which was not suitable for tempering his body. However, the yuanqi that had been refined through the source refinement was surprisingly very suitable for tempering his body. As he operated the "Jin Dao Lung Jing" method, it slowly nourished his flesh and bones, and unintentionally, his body began to become stronger.

  Since his physical body was no longer a hindrance, Guo Fei needed to rapidly improve his cultivation and urgently required killing people to upgrade.

  About 100 kilometers from the valley where the Huo Fox tribe lives, Guo Fei and others walked out of the cave and descended into the dense forest. Liang Tie went out for a while and shot two deer back, Jin Ying picked some wild fruits nearby, Gui Bing set up three tents, Liang Tie roasted the deer meat outside, and Jin Ying arranged a sumptuous meal on the table.

  Hu Xiaoyue was talking in a low voice with her two cousins in the tent, sometimes laughing and sometimes crying, making people who heard it feel uncomfortable.

  It's been a long time since they had such delicious food, Guo Fei and others were eating with gusto, but unfortunately, the wine and water they bought were all consumed in the underground cave, which made the meal less flavorful.

  "Master, I beg of you to take in my two sisters and make them your disciples. They are all alone and have nowhere else to go." Hu Xiao Yue spoke with the two for about two hours, then led the two little foxes over to plead with Guo Fei and the others just as they were finishing their meal.

  Guo Fei pondered for a moment, his own troop numbers were limited, and the dancer troops were extremely important, he didn't want to waste two quotas on these two people. The cultivation of the two little fox demons was higher than Hu Xiaoyue's back then, but Guo Fei still looked down on them. However, seeing Hu Xiaoyue who had been following him wholeheartedly plead so earnestly, he let out a long sigh, waved his hand, and two pale blue glows flashed, entering the bodies of the two people.

  "After that, the two of them will follow you, and you can teach them well." Guo Fei sighed and nodded at Hu Xiaoyue.

  "Thank you, master!" Hu Xiaoyue exclaimed with a curtsy.

  "Hehe, sister, get up and eat. Uncle has agreed." Jin Ying called out to Guo Fei uncle for the first time, helping Hu Xiaoyue up from her seat. This behavior made Guo Fei feel a bit more at ease, as this girl's awkwardness gradually dissipated in the company of Hu Xiaoyue and others, which was also fair to Jin Datong.

  After everyone finished their meal, they began to rest and recover in the dense forest. At midnight, Guo Fei brought everyone into the military symbol space and quietly headed towards the Red River Valley where the Huo Fox tribe lived.

  The Red River Valley is adjacent to the Wan Caves mountain range. This place is indeed a treasure land of Feng Shui, with the valley shaped like a gourd and surrounded by towering cliffs that pierce the clouds. There is only one narrow entrance that allows only one person to enter or exit at a time. Inside the valley, lush green trees provide shade, flowers and grasses cover the ground, and small bridges span the flowing water. At the foot of the cliffs are natural stone caves, warm in winter and cool in summer, making it an ideal place for spiritual practice and residence, worthy of being called a fairyland.

  Kuang Fei transformed into a hidden endurance, hiding his figure and entering here, advancing quietly along the road.

  "Congratulations to the Duke of Guo, who will soon enter the palace and become the King of Zhao." A loud shout suddenly came from a luxurious house in the central valley, echoing far away on this quiet night.

  "Guo Gong? Zhao Guo's!" Guo Fei was taken aback and quietly walked over.

  In the grand hall of this stone tower, dozens of seductive and charming fox women were dancing in the center of the hall, performing a sensual dance. On the upper level of the hall, dozens of people were reveling, seated at wine tables, with one person embracing two alluring fox women while eating and chatting with several fire fox tribe members beside him.

  From his attire, Guo Fei was certain that this man was the rumored Lord of Southern Zhao, Duke An. His facial features were quite rough and he had a thick beard, making him look like an uncouth rustic, but Guo Fei had heard people discuss him in private, saying that despite his rough exterior, he was actually meticulous and extremely cunning on the inside. And the people accompanying him must be the chief and elder of the Huo Fox tribe.

  "It's not about being early, but about being clever. I didn't expect that all the people who harmed the White Fox tribe back then would gather here! I heard that this person even took a daughter of the Fire Fox tribe's leader as his concubine and has an extremely close relationship with the Fire Fox tribe. I don't know how he ended up here today, but it must be for something important." Guo Fei thought for a moment, was about to make his move, but upon hearing their conversation, he immediately stopped.

  "Clan leader, this time the ambush of Zhao An Yu and his daughter depends on you. As long as we capture the two, Heishi County will be under our control, and from then on, Zhao State will no longer have another vein." Duke Anguo said in a deep voice.

  "Your Excellency, rest assured that this matter will not go wrong. This time Your Excellency has come, we have prepared over a dozen white fox tribe's fox maidens, all of whom are the genuine article, freshly transformed into human form. They were captured from the white fox tribe and born with their original form intact. Your Excellency can present them to the Spirit Tribe, dispel their suspicions, and Zhao Guo will surely prosper under Your Excellency's rule." The Fox Tribe leader bowed his hands in respect.

  "The clan leader is so polite. Looking at the clan leader's expression, it seems like there's something you want to ask for?" Duke Anguo said, releasing his hold on the two fox girls' hands and taking a light sip of wine.

  "I'm not hiding it from you, Country Lord. In the Wan Ku Mountain range, there's a place called Huo Yun Cave where a grand trading conference will be held, hosted by the Huo Xie tribe, the largest demonic tribe in the Wan Ku Mountain range. At that time, all sorts of rare and precious materials, elixirs, and techniques will appear. This is a grand gathering that happens only once every ten years, and we are one of the invited demonic tribes." The Fire Fox Tribe's leader said with some pride as he took out an invitation card.

  "This is great! The demon tribe's village rarely has such a grand gathering, let's go and participate!" Duke Anguo said with a smile.

  "But, however. Our Fox tribe's foundation is too shallow, although we were invited, but the spiritual stone is insufficient, there isn't even 100,000 spiritual stones, so we don't dare to go." The tribe leader shook his head and sighed.

  "Haha, so it was a lack of spirit stones. Tomorrow, I'll have someone follow me back and bring 50,000 spirit stones for you." Duke An Guo leaned back in his chair, pinched the breasts of the two fox women beside him, and laughed loudly.

  "Many thanks, Duke Guo!" The Fox Tribe's chief stood up and bowed.

  Guo Fei took a look and secretly laughed at An Guo Gong for being petty, offering only 50,000 spirit stones. In reality, Guo Fei's value had risen greatly, his current worth nearing 2 million spirit stones, making him as wealthy as a country, so naturally he didn't think much of the 50,000 spirit stones. Little did he know, 50,000 spirit stones was no longer a small amount. For example, the Huo Huo tribe had no spirit mines and could only obtain spirit stones through trade, making them very poor.

  "Don't be polite, I have another request. This time you go, can you buy a demon spirit for me? I want to strengthen my sacred instrument and dominate the Zhao State. Without an extremely powerful magic weapon in hand, it's hard to intimidate all sides." Zhao An Yu said in a deep voice.

  "Yao Ling!" The Fire Fox tribe leader shook his head and said, "I didn't expect the Duke to know about Yao Ling. It's truly admirable. It's not that I don't want to help with this matter, but Yao Ling is really hard to obtain. Those demonic cultivators who possess Yao Ling are all super strong, rarely falling, so naturally there's no Yao Ling to be had. Even if there were some who fell, the body of a Yao Ling is not something to be trifled with. With my current cultivation, it would be difficult for me to be its match. Add to that the fact that this is a heaven-defying treasure, and the number of powerful experts vying for it is as numerous as the hairs on an ox's back. I'm afraid that even if we were to get our hands on it, we would only suffer a fatal calamity."

  "Heh heh, I also saw it in the classics. Sealing a demon spirit in a magic tool will grant immense power. Since demon spirits are so rare, get me a king-level one."

  "Your Excellency, this is not difficult. However, a king-level demon's soul requires at least 50,000 spirit stones. If it's gold or fire attribute, the price will be even higher. This... " The Fire Tribe leader hesitated, clearly lacking sufficient spirit stones and preparing to ask for more again.

  "Don't worry about this. I will prepare the Ling Stone properly." Duke Anguo said with a smile.

  "Youling?" Guo Fei pondered for a moment, recalling the classics he had read, but seemed to have no record of such a thing. He must ask Hu Xiaoyue next.

  "Come out." Guo Fei's mind stirred, and all the troops that had been waiting in array were summoned out. The ghost soldiers merged into one place in an instant, silently and quietly rushing towards the Huo Fox tribe's village like shadows. Tian Hunzi, Jin Ying, Hu Xiaoyue and others stood beside Guo Fei, staring at the people in the stone building, waiting in array. They naturally saw that these people were all masters.

  Guo Fei summoned both the Double-Headed Crocodile and Golden-Haired Roar, while Liang Tie flipped over to ride on the Double-Headed Crocodile, standing beside Guo Fei. Miao Yu pulled Tang Yi back, retreating to the rear, not wanting to get involved in this mess.

  "Boom! Boom! Boom!" A loud and intense sound came, the cries of killing and wailing instantly filled the entire valley.

  "What kind of person!" The Fox tribe's patriarch was greatly shocked, and he flipped out, a fiery red long sword appearing in his hand. His body floated to the empty space in front of the stone building, looking up at Guo Fei and others who had rushed into their valley, with a terrified expression in his eyes.

  "The Fox tribe, you killed my people back then, today is the day of blood for blood. I want all of your Manchu tribe to be exterminated." Hu Xiaoyue's anger reached its peak, she let out a loud shout, her body floated up, and two ice spider silk threads instantly flew out, heading towards the tribal leader who was flying out.

  "The remnants of the White Fox tribe, I didn't expect to find such a helper." The Fire Fox tribe leader muttered and shouted towards the back: "Please, Lord Guo, lend us a hand and help our tribe."

  The Huo Fox tribe leader was not a fool, and Guo Fei and the others had arrived quietly. With the Golden Hair Howl and Double-Headed Python by his side, how could he not know who the visitors were? When Guo Fei entered the Wan Kuang Mountains, he didn't dare to make any sudden moves. Now that he saw Guo Fei and the others appear silently, his heart was already shattered.
