Chapter 1280: The Dark Fox Tribe Submits, Another Follower Joins, the Thousand Buddha Grotto

Upon hearing Chu Kuangren’s question, the Dark Fox Maiden Sage took a deep breath, and a strand of black qi emerged from her body.

The black qi then turned into a gorgeous figure.

It was the Dark Fox King.

As an Arch Gilded Immortal, the Dark Fox King would never show herself that easily in the Interstellar Arena.

Therefore, the one appearing before Chu Kuangren was just a strand of her Immortal Consciousness, which came to negotiate with him.

There was a complicated, hostile, and humiliated look on the Dark Fox King’s face when she saw the young man again.

That young man was the one who single-handedly turned the tide in favor of Tushan and the Emerald Hill, foiling the plans of the Dark Fox Tribe and the other Beast Ruler Tribes.

It was the very same young man who sought to make their Dark Fox Tribe submit to him.

However, other than feelings of enmity and humiliation, there was a stronger wistful feeling of hope.

“You. Do you truly have a way to get rid of my Dark Fox Tribe’s bloodline imperfection?”

The Dark Fox King immediately went straight to the point.

“Isn’t the proof standing before you now?”

Chu Kuangren was referring to the Dark Fox Maiden Sage, of course.

He had restored all the imperfections of her bloodline, so the Dark Fox King only needed to check her to verify whether he was telling the truth.

“The Dark Fox Maiden Sage is a Heavenly Champion sky-pride who’s different from ordinary yokai foxes.”

“If I can restore her bloodline, it should be no problem for me to do the same with everyone else. This is an undeniable fact.”

“What do you seek from the Dark Fox Tribe in return?” the Dark Fox King asked with a serious expression.

That was what she wanted to know the most.

There was no such thing as a free lunch, after all.

Chu Kuangren must certainly have something he wanted for helping the Dark Fox Tribe.

“Hmph.”

Chu Kuangren chuckled and shook his head. “Don’t get ahead of yourself.”

“You…” The Dark Fox King frowned, starting to get angered by that.

However, Chu Kuangren ignored her and continued. “Honestly speaking, helping restore the imperfections in your bloodline is just something I decided to do on a whim. Most importantly, I’m doing your tribe a favor by having all of you submit to me!”

“The Dark Fox Tribe has invaded Tushan and Emerald Hill before. Now that both tribes have united, the Dark Fox Tribe will have no place among the yokai foxes. The end of your tribe is just a matter of time.”

“Right now, the only person who can help you is me. I have a good standing with Tushan and Emerald Hill. If I were to put in my word this matter, the two yokai fox rulers could put aside your transgressions for now.”

“Besides, I can restore the imperfections of the Dark Fox bloodline. No matter how you see it, it’s the Dark Fox Tribe who will gain a bigger advantage than me, who only asked that you submit to me and carry out my will.”

“If that’s not doing you guys a favor, what is?” said Chu Kuangren calmly.

With every sentence he said, the Dark Fox King and the Dark Fox Maiden’s expressions turned grimmer. Soon, their hearts sank.

Both of them knew that although Chu Kuangren sounded a bit exaggerating, his analysis of the Dark Fox Tribe’s situation was almost perfect.

That was why their expressions turned grim.

In that negotiation with Chu Kuangren, they had fallen into the palm of his hand with no room for them to set any terms of their own.

“Now, make your decision, Dark Fox King,” Chu Kuangren said indifferently with his hands crossed.

The Dark Fox King hesitated.

Finally, she took a deep breath and sighed. She, too, was unsure whether that decision of hers would bring a quicker end or a better future for the Dark Fox Tribe.

However, she could only take a gamble now.

“I, representing the Dark Fox Tribe, will submit to you!” the Dark Fox King said in a serious tone.

“Very well.

“This will be the best decision you’ve made in your whole life.” Chu Kuangren chuckled.

Soon after, the Dark Fox King’s Immortal Consciousness dispersed, leaving only the Dark Fox Maiden Sage standing in her spot.

She stared conflictedly at Chu Kuangren — a True Immortal who had just gained a Beast Ruler Tribe as his subordinates.

What the Dark Fox King said before she left soon played in her mind.

“Maiden Sage, from this day onward, you shall stay by Chu Kuangren’s side. The future of the Dark Fox Tribe lies in this person, and you must build a good relationship with him, even if it means sacrificing yourself.”

The Dark Fox King was implying something else when it came to the sacrificing part.

The Dark Fox Tribe was skilled in the art of seduction and charming techniques.

From the Dark Fox King’s perspective, despite how remarkable Chu Kuangren was, he was still a man. There was no way he could be pure at heart.

As long as the Dark Fox Maiden Sage stayed by his side, it would only be a matter of time before feelings would arise.

However, the Dark Fox Maiden Sage could only let out a bitter smile upon recalling her past encounters with Chu Kuangren.

‘It’s not going to be that easy to charm a man like him. This guy’s Daoist core is immovable like a mountain!’

‘Forget about it.’

‘I’ll see how things go as time goes by then.’

At that time, a horrifying scream sounded.

The White Tiger sky-pride had been struck by a spear attack from Wang Chentian, whose vast spear energy sent him flying backward.

Blood splattered everywhere.

The remaining yokai sky-prides were soon defeated by the Hundred Academy cultivators, one by one.

“Greetings, Chief.”

Cao Yun, Wang Chentian, and the others came before Chu Kuangren and greeted him.

“Mm.”

Chu Kuangren nodded gently at everyone with a smile. “It looks like everyone has obtained Opportunities of Fortune of their own and improved quite a lot.”

“Well, no matter how much we improve, we’re still leagues away from you, Chief.”

“That’s right. We heard of what you did on Terraspirit Planet. You’re awesome as ever, Chief.”

Everyone chatted for a while.

Following that, Chu Kuangren asked them about the Buddhist Sarira.

“The Buddhist Sarira is located at the Thousand Buddha Grotto. Many people have gone there by now. I heard the Buddhist orthodoxies have made their move too.”

Cao Yun chuckled.

Many outstanding sky-prides and Heavenly Champions have appeared from the Buddhist orthodoxies.

There were even a few among them who were Prodigies too.

Cao Yun then told Chu Kuangren some information about the Thousand Buddha Grotto. It was true that a Sarira was found there. However, that Sarira was not easy to obtain as a Buddhist Great One had set up a trial for those who wanted it.

No one had been able to pass that trial even until now.

Even some Buddhist sky-prides could not get through either.

It was said that the Buddhist Prodigies would soon arrive.

“Is that so? How interesting.”

Chu Kuangren grinned.

“Chief, who’s this…”

Zhao Fangfei noticed the Dark Fox Maiden Sage beside Chu Kuangren and immediately put on her guard.

Being the successor of the Baimei Tribe, she too specialized in charms and distraction.

However, she realized her charming techniques were even worse than that of the Dark Fox Maiden Sage.

“No need to worry. She poses no threat to us. She’s my… follower, I suppose,” Chu Kuangren said lightly.

The Dark Fox Maiden Sage’s mouth twitched a little. However, she did not refute him. ‘Oh well, if a follower is what I am.’

Cao Yun and the others were amazed by that.

‘The Dark Fox Maiden Sage was a top-notch sky-pride who was second only to theProdigies out there. To think that someone like her is willing to stay by Chu Kuangren’s side as his follower.’

‘What an extraordinary person he is.’

“Why is the Chief always surrounded by yokai foxes?”

There was a hint of jealousy in Zhao Fangfei’s tone.

Lil Fox and Dark Fox Maiden Sage were both yokai foxes.

“Don’t worry about it. Let’s head to the Thousand Buddha Grotto now.”

Chu Kuangren laughed.

His goal this time was to obtain the Buddhist Sarira.

As for gaining the Dark Fox Tribe’s loyalty, that was only an incidental event that happened.

The Thousand Buddha Grotto was the place with the largest gathering of sky-prides on Terraglyph Planet.

Many sky-prides from all over the galaxy had come here to get that Buddhist Sarira.

Besides containing the Buddhist Great One’s inheritance, the Buddhist Sarira could also increase one’s cultivation level and protect their Daoist core from being affected by trauma.

With that item around, the user’s rate of comprehending the Dao would increase greatly.

Hence, many non-Buddhist cultivators were also interested in getting their hands on that item.
