Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor

Chapter 1273 - 100: The Strongest Eight-tailed Inheritance

So it turned out that her being "beaten to death" just now was nothing but a scene directed by Yun Sheng herself.

Good thing she’d been a doctor in her previous life and had seen plenty of corpses; plus she’d watched a lot of TV dramas, so just now she’d forced herself to use a Dark Needle to pierce the acupoint that stops breathing, then relied on her "acting skills" to fool everyone.

Ever since Yun Sheng had last witnessed Rita being set up by Yu Shang, she’d been on guard against Yu Shang’s Shifting Flower and Wood, and she had long guessed that someone as insidious and crafty as Yu Shang would definitely play dirty at the final moment.

As expected, when they were within the last three hundred meters of the Inheritance Pillar, Yu Shang used Inheritance Shifting Flower and Wood, putting Yun Sheng into an extremely disadvantageous situation in an instant.

Yu Shang just hadn’t expected that Yun Sheng’s "crisis" was nothing but a play she had carefully scripted and staged for herself in advance.

The whole purpose was to lull Yu Shang into dropping her guard.

Yun Sheng and Yu Shang were both Six-Tailed Heavenly Foxes; in terms of pure strength, Yun Sheng and Yu Shang were evenly matched.

But that Old Witch Yu Shang was the first Heavenly Fox Saintess; her understanding of the Ancient Sealing far surpassed Yun Sheng’s, and who knew what other strange Sky Fox Inheritance techniques she had hidden on her.

That was why Yun Sheng had been so extremely cautious.

In contrast, Yu Shang had always held herself in very high regard. A woman like that had absolute confidence in both her beauty and her brains; toward Yun Sheng, she’d always had a contemptuous attitude, thinking this mixed-blood brat could never become a true competitor.

When she saw that the Heavenly Fox Inheritance Shifting Flower and Wood had successfully left Yun Sheng "seriously injured," she relaxed her vigilance, and that was how Yun Sheng, at the final moment, managed to use her blood to get one step ahead of Yu Shang and seize that strongest Heavenly Fox Inheritance Pillar.

Yu Shang flew into a rage and was about to strike to kill.

At that time, Yun Sheng had originally wanted to summon her Demon Beasts and just fight Yu Shang to the death.

But just then, Yun Sheng sensed several not-weak energy fluctuations converging toward the center of the Ancient Sealing’s Seal Eye.

One of those auras felt very familiar to Yun Sheng.

It was Dugu Xiu. Sensing that familiar power fluctuation, Yun Sheng immediately understood: other than the Bimong, Pengyu, and Sky Fox Tribe, the people of the Hei Qilin Tribe had long since learned about the Ancient Sealing as well.

Ever since the Dutian Blood Seal incident, Dugu Xiu had vanished without a trace; so he had come to the Bahuang Continent.

It seemed the people of the Hei Qilin Tribe also wanted to seize the Inheritance Pillars in the Ancient Sealing’s Seal Eye.

Yun Sheng’s impulse was instantly suppressed by this unexpected discovery.

She knew Dugu Xiu’s strength very well. That bastard was a born schemer; how could he be willing to accept his defeat back then? His strength had been no worse than hers at the time, and over these years, after being trained by Hei Yao, it must have improved rapidly.

If Yun Sheng fought Yu Shang to the death, wouldn’t that be letting Dugu Xiu get exactly what he wanted?

Yun Sheng was no such idiot.

After a brief moment of thought, she abandoned the idea of fighting Yu Shang with her life on the line.

Yun Sheng simply steeled herself and drove a Dark Needle into the breath-stopping acupoint in her body, stopped resisting, and let Yu Shang attack her as she pleased.

She just hadn’t expected that this crazy woman Yu Shang would erupt like Yun Sheng had stolen her man and dug up her ancestors’ graves, making such a violent outburst that Yun Sheng almost spat blood from the fury.

Fortunately, after the Dark Needle pierced the acupoint, Yun Sheng’s sensing power dulled somewhat, allowing her to grit her teeth and endure that wave of pain.

But Yu Shang still wasn’t satisfied and wanted to smash Yun Sheng to death directly.

Just as Yun Sheng was cursing "damn it" inwardly, Dugu Xiu suddenly "burst with kindness" and blocked Yu Shang’s attack.

Seeing the people of the Hei Qilin Tribe appear, Yu Shang did indeed rein herself in a bit; after snatching the pillar and the person, she finally left.

Just as Yun Sheng was secretly rejoicing, Dugu Xiu suddenly bent down and felt her pulse. Even though she was in fox form now, Yun Sheng was still startled. The man’s fingers were icy cold and rigid; when they landed on her neck, Yun Sheng really did worry for a moment that Dugu Xiu would recognize her.

Thankfully, Dugu Xiu did not pursue it further.

Only after even the people of the Hei Qilin Tribe had left did Yun Sheng finally let out a breath and "come back to life."

"They’re all gone, huh. Looks like it’s time to see what’s really going on." Yun Sheng first took a few sips of Life Water and recovered some Qi Power.

She fixed her gaze on that piece of Sky Fox Relics.

"Sky Fox Relics, ever since I entered the Seal Eye, you’ve been buzzing nonstop inside my body. Could it be that in these ruins of the Ancient Sealing, there’s something you can’t bear to leave behind?" Yun Sheng wondered suspiciously.

The reason she’d been able to stay calm till the very end and not be completely crushed by the pressure in the Ancient Sealing’s Seal Eye was all thanks to the Sky Fox Relics.

The Sky Fox Relics floated quietly in the ruins. Suddenly, it flared like a scorching sun in a clear sky, emitting a dazzling radiance.

The region of the Heavenly Fox Inheritance Pillars that had already been completely plundered by Yu Shang now responded to that light; within the ruins, the soil churned, as if something was about to drill its way up from underground.

Rumble—

It was like a door that had been shut for countless years suddenly swung open.

From underground, a Heavenly Fox Inheritance Pillar slowly emerged.

Nobody had discovered this Heavenly Fox Inheritance Pillar before. It rose slowly from the ground until it stood side by side with the Heavenly Fox Inheritance Pillar that had been stained with Yun Sheng’s blood.

In front of her stood two Heavenly Fox Inheritance Pillars.

What was going on?

She clearly remembered that she and Yu Shang had been fighting over the strongest Heavenly Fox Inheritance Pillar.

But this newly emerged pillar—whether in terms of inheritance power or in sheer size—was a bit larger than the original Inheritance Pillar. What was this new Inheritance Pillar supposed to be?

Yun Sheng saw that on the Heavenly Fox Inheritance Pillar on the left, there was still a patch of blood-red; that should be the Heavenly Fox Inheritance Pillar she had desperately snatched from Yu Shang’s hands.

But the other one... Yun Sheng looked closely and realized it was a Heavenly Fox Inheritance Pillar she had never seen before.

"This is..." Yun Sheng’s pupils contracted; she stared in disbelief at the newly emerged Heavenly Fox Inheritance Pillar.

The strongest Heavenly Fox Inheritance Pillar that she and Yu Shang had fought over earlier was branded with a Seven-tailed Heavenly Fox, but the image on this new pillar was Eight-tailed—a genuine Eight-tailed Heavenly Fox Inheritance.

All around was pitch-black; Yun Sheng knew very well that she was already buried inside the collapsing Ancient Sealing.

This Eight-tailed Heavenly Fox Inheritance Pillar had emerged directly from underground.

Yun Sheng stared intently at that Eight-tailed Heavenly Fox Inheritance.

After that new Eight-tailed Heavenly Fox Inheritance Pillar surfaced, the Sky Fox Relics that had been hanging in midair automatically flew back into Yun Sheng’s body.

A gentle glow spread over her chest. Yun Sheng looked down and saw that the Sky Fox Relics had vanished.

Could it be that this was the real reason the Sky Fox Relics had been buzzing nonstop?

It had brought her here to locate that Heavenly Fox Inheritance Pillar buried within the Ancient Sealing—this was the strongest Sky Fox Inheritance in the entire Ancient Sealing.
