The old Clan Leader’s once benevolent and gentle expression changed in an instant the moment he saw Shen Li collapse at the door.
With one hand behind his back, he slowly paced over.
His voice turned icy, carrying a hint of manic laughter, "Ten-tailed Fox, oh Ten-tailed Fox, I have searched for so many years, and finally, I’ve found the true Ten-tailed Heavenly Fox!"
Shen Li, struggling to maintain consciousness, leaned against the wall trying to stand, looking at the elder who had become sinister and terrifying behind him. His face paled, and he asked incredulously, "You... you poisoned the tea?"
The Clan Leader sneered, "You’re still too naive."
In his palm, he conjured a chain formed of energy, which instantly lashed out towards Shen Li at the door.
Shen Li’s face grew even more solemn, as he used the last ounce of strength in his body to suddenly dodge the attack!
At the same time, nine flowing, fiery red fox tails unfurled behind him, forming a shield in front that blocked the blow.
And in the center of the nine tails, an energy-formed fiery red phantom flickered faintly, beautiful and ethereal, like the burning twilight at the horizon.
The old Clan Leader gazed greedily and fervently at him, or more accurately, at the yet-to-be-fully-formed tenth tail behind Shen Li!
Heavens truly favored him, delivering a young fox beast with an unformed tenth tail and incomplete power!
This was the easiest moment to seize!
As long as he captured the fox beast’s Crystal Core, he would be able to break through the realm and become a true Ten-tailed!
"Don’t waste your effort; this place is completely sealed inside and out by me. You won’t escape today—surrender peacefully!"
The old Clan Leader snorted coldly and struck at Shen Li again.
This was always meant to be a trap, with Shen Li walking right into it as prey, especially after drinking the poisoned tea—he was doomed today!
The Clan Leader’s attacks grew more vicious, as nine pure white fox tails appeared behind him, followed by a semi-consolidated white tail shadow, which was his unformed tenth tail.
Over the years, the old Clan Leader had barely managed to form a shadow of the tenth tail. Unfortunately, his talent was limited, and he couldn’t complete it.
If he could live another ten years, he might hope for a breakthrough, but now he was running out of time.
Shen Li, poisoned and clearly struggling, barely resisted, weakly and angrily speaking, "Doing this... aren’t you afraid of retribution?"
"Retribution?" The Clan Leader sneered, "For this Ten-tail, I could even lay hands on my own son, let alone an outsider like you!"
