As soon as the little fox finished speaking, Xiaosuisui felt a clear surge of danger beside her.
She lashed out with a flurry of more than ten palm strikes, but none of them seed to land on the actual fox.
"Hehehe! Baby girl, I’m just a wisp of spirit. Did you really think your lousy blade could cut off my claw? Poor thing, you’re not yet ready to venture into the Jianghu!"
Those words made Xiaosuisui fu with anger!
How could I have overlooked such a crucial point?
This place is an Illusion Array; how could there be a living fox here?
If there were, it would only be the fox’s Divine Soul, placed here to serve as the Array Eye!
Xiaosuisui’s eyes snapped open. Wait, did I just think of sothing?
Her Second Aunt-by-marriage had taught her quite a few soul-capturing arrays.
She rummaged in her little purse, and a yellow Talisman appeared in her hand.
She closed her eyes again, focusing and listening intently. Finally, as the Black Mist once again swirled around her, its low whispers trying to bewitch her, the Talisman in her hand suddenly flew out.
"Soul-Capturing Talisman, go!"
The Soul-Capturing Talisman instantly emitted a radiant light, drawing the entire mass of Black Mist into itself!
"Let out! Let out! You insolent brat! How dare you capture a distinguished Illusory Fox from Qingqiu! Are you tired of living? Are you not afraid of the Fox King slaughtering your entire family?"
Xiaosuisui scratched her head and asked in confusion, "Qingqiu? Where is that?"
The fox’s exasperated voice ca from within the Talisman. "You ignorant child! You don’t even know about the Qingqiu Fox Tribe, yet you dare to wander the Jianghu and cultivate Immortal Techniques?"
"Who told you I was wandering the Jianghu? As for cultivating Immortal Techniques, I haven’t cultivated any at all!"
"What? You haven’t cultivated? If you haven’t cultivated, where did your hundreds of years of Power co from?"
"This Power of mine isn’t sothing I cultivated!"
"Not cultivated by you? Don’t tell it was forcefully instilled into you by soone else?"
The fox’s voice from the Talisman paused for a mont, then it suddenly shrieked, "Ah! For soone so young to possess such high Cultivation, your Power must have indeed been instilled by soone else!"
Xiaosuisui blinked. This fox is truly cunning to have guessed that!
"So what if you guessed? Aren’t you still trapped in my Soul-Capturing Talisman right now? Hurry up and tell , how can I get my Seventh Uncle back?"
"Hmph! Your Seventh Uncle is my food. I only need to trap him for another hour, and he’ll be dead. Once he dies, his Divine Soul will beco fertilizer to strengthen this wisp of my remnant soul!"
"Ah! You’re actually planning to use my Seventh Uncle as fertilizer and consu him?" Xiaosuisui cried out in alarm.
"Naturally. Anyone who enters this Illusion Array will only find death, their Divine Souls becoming my fertilizer."
At this mont, Xiaosuisui used her mind-reading ability and confird that what the little fox said was true.
Now she truly began to panic. One hour! What should I do?
She was so anxious she started scratching her head, and in her agitation, a fingernail snagged and pulled out a strand of hair, making her wince in pain.
Hair? Divine Soul? Her eyes narrowed slightly.
"My Second Aunt-by-marriage taught more than just the Soul-Capturing Talisman! She also taught ..."
"Taught you what?"
"The scriptures for soul deliverance!"
"Wha...what?" The fox’s voice from within the Talisman trembled. "Aren’t soul-liberating scriptures a Buddhist technique?"
"Unfortunately for you, I also know a little about Buddhist thods."
She was certain that the soul-liberating scriptures would be effective against this little fox’s Divine Soul. So, she put her index and middle fingers together and began to draw lines on the Soul-Capturing Talisman.
As the lines were slowly drawn, a circle of golden light appeared. Then, with a WHOOSH, a ring of fire ignited around the outer layer of the golden light.
As the flas blazed, Xiaosuisui heard pitiful cries of "OUCH! OUCH!" coming from the Talisman.
"So hot! What are you doing? Baby girl, did you throw the Soul-Capturing Talisman into hot water?"
"It’s not hot water. I just added a few more strokes to this Soul-Capturing Talisman, creating a layer of flas around it. Wait until this Soul-Capturing Talisman burns out, and your re remnant soul will be completely reduced to ashes!"
The little girl, despite her young age, spoke in a manner that was not childlike at all!
"What did you say? You set fire to the Soul-Capturing Talisman? You malicious little brat! Are you actually trying to destroy utterly?"
