Reincarnated As a Fox With System

"Instructor Lan, I have really bad news." Tang Li Xue said to Instructor Mei Lan with a stern expression.

Instructor Mei Lan only glanced back at Tang Li Xue and waited for Tang Li Xue to tell her the bad news.

Tang Li Xue did not want to waste any of her time playing a guessing game with Instructor Mei Lan, so she immediately told everything that happened inside the cage of light to Instructor Mei Lan in detail.

Instructor Mei Lan frowned deeply after she heard everything from Tang Li Xue and muttered softly: "This is very strange… Something seems not right here. If the serial killer's identity is really Zuo Hongzhuang, then it should be impossible for a fox as smart as her to get caught so easily by those people from Immortal Sword Sect like this."

Tang Li Xue felt surprised by Instructor Mei Lan's suspicion, so she decided to ask again: "Then what should we do now? Should we still secretly observe what will happen from the side like now?"

Instructor Mei Lan shook her head and replied with a solemn tone: "No, whether the serial killer is really Zuo Hongzhuang or not, we should never let her fall into those people of Immortal Sword Sect before we can make sure her real identity. It seems we must make our moves now, but…"

Instructor Mei Lan stared at the cage of light from the top of the big tree and grumbled in displeasure: "That cage of light is really annoying. If my guess is right, that cage of light cannot be breached so easily. I presume we need at least ten minutes or maybe more even if I use my every means to break through it."

"Even Instructor Lan would need at least ten minutes or more?! Just how strong is that cage of light?!" Hei Yinghao suddenly spoke in shock.

Bing Yi did not say anything, but even she widened her eyes in surprise and disbelief at Instructor Mei Lan's statement.

Instructor Mei Lan rolled her eyes at her three overreacted students and explained: "Oracle Mountain Sect may be a sect that proficient in formations and arrays, but their elders' overall strength is quite low. That cage of light may seem not profound enough and easier to crack, but do not forget that it is supported by the four Nascent Soul Stage elders. Do all of you really think I can overpower the four Nascent Soul Stage elders and destroy the barrier they set together so easily?"

Tang Li Xue, Bing Yi, and Hei Yinghao finally understood where the real difficulty lies after hearing Instructor Mei Lan's explanation.

"What should we do, Instructor Lan? It looks like that serial killer cannot hold on for much longer, let alone for ten minutes or more." Tang Li Xue asked with an anxious tone.

Instructor Mei Lan glanced at Tang Li Xue and replied: "Is there a need to ask something obvious like that? Then you must do something to help that serial killer, so she could last for ten minutes or so to not get caught or killed by those elders of Immortal Sword Sect."

"What?! M... ME~?! Instructor Lan, you must be joking with me, right? I cannot even defeat Core Formation Stage cultivator by myself, so how could I help that serial killer fight against those several Nascent Soul Stage elders?! I will just kill myself if I do that!" Tang Li Xue said while quickly shook her head to reject Instructor Mei Lan's suggestion.

Instructor Mei Lan laughed at Tang Li Xue's words and criticized her a bit: "Silly girl, do I really said that you must help the serial killer by fighting head-on against those Nascent Soul Stage elders? Can't you even think of a plan without using violence? There are actually many ways for you to help her without even fighting head-on with anyone."

Tang Li Xue blushed in embarrassment when she heard Instructor Mei Lan's words and murmured: "I am really sorry, Instructor Lan, but I..."

"All right, since our time is very tight, so I will just tell you what you need to do now. But next time, be sure to be more flexible in your way of thinking. Resorting violence and fighting head-on should be our last resort, especially since we are not from the rude Lizard Clan but well-educated Fox Race." Instructor Mei Lan cut Tang Li Xue's words and said again.

Instructor Mei Lan actually said all of these not only to lecture Tang Li Xue but also to tell Hei Yinghao and Bing Yi about it.

After that, Instructor Mei Lan immediately told Tang Li Xue about everything she must do to help out the serial killer.

The plan actually needs cooperation with the serial killer who was still disguised as Crown Prince Feng to work, but Instructor Mei Lan and Tang Li Xue were very sure that she would agree to do it since this plan was clearly to help her out after all.

While Tang Li Xue communicated with her perfect copy and told her about the plan from Instructor Mei Lan, Instructor Mei Lan, Bing Yi, and Hei Yinghao already started their own task to breach the cage of light.

.....

...

.

Meanwhile, only a few moments had passed in the cage of light, but the situation of fake Crown Prince Feng had considerably deteriorated than before.

The fake Crown Prince Feng kept struggling fiercely even after the three Nascent Soul Stage elders fought together to catch him.

One of the three Nascent Soul Stage elders even already grabbed one of the fake Crown Prince Feng's hands just now, but he forcefully pulled back with all of his strength, and it made his wrist snapped and his forearm was separated from his upper elbow.

His blood was splattering everywhere, and his face turned even paler as he coughed out a few mouthfuls of blood again, but his expression still looked cold and determined as usual. He did not even scream or shout in pain.

However, losing his left hand made the fighting more difficult for the fake Crown Prince Feng.

It did not take long for the other Nascent Soul Stage elders to grab his right shoulder, but once again, Crown Prince Feng forcefully took a step back using all of his remaining strength, and it made the bones at his right shoulder broke.

Although he managed to escape from that Nascent Soul Stage elder's powerful clutch, but it created a gaping wound on his right shoulder.

At this rate, it would only take a few more moves from the three Nascent Soul Stage elders to bring down the fake Crown Prince Feng and catch him since there was no place to escape in this cage of light.

Even if the fake Crown Prince Feng decided to attack Elder Yang or the other unconscious people here like the Emperor, Empress, or the others in desperation, the fourth Nascent Soul Stage elder that was currently in hiding would prevent him from doing that.

And also, the special wine that Elder Yang gave to everyone previously could help to protect them at the most crucial time later.

Everyone might be curious about what was contained in that special wine, including Tang Li Xue and Instructor Mei Lan.

Was it poisons, drugs, or anesthetic?

But no one could guess that Elder Yang was actually only blended his own blood that contained [Blood of Lust] with ordinary wine to create it.

When his tiny drop of [Blood of Lust] entered any person's body, he could still easily control it and do many things to that person with it.

For example, he could scan that person's real look, gender, or even race from inside that person's body. That was the reason why Elder Yang could know that Crown Prince Feng was a fake one.

Not only that, if that person was weaker than him, then he could make them fainted or even kill them in only a single thought.

Even someone powerful like the fake Crown Prince Feng could get seriously injured when Elder Yang detonated that tiny drop of [Blood of Lust] from inside his body.

Of course, to do all of those things, the user of [Blood of Lust] needs to have perfect control over it. Even the previous owner of [Blood of Lust], the elder from Blood Devil Sect, could not do it, but Elder Yang could easily do it.

It was concrete proof that his title as the greatest human genius in Lightwind Continent was not only for a show.

Even everything that happened in this night banquet was already in Elder Yang's prediction, and there was no place for the fake Crown Prince Feng to escape from his flawless plan.

Just like the spider web, it would strangle the fake Crown Prince Feng slowly but sure until he could no longer move in the end.

Unfortunately, there were still a few things that were still out of expectation even for the prudent genius like Elder Yang...

For example, Tang Li Xue's perfect copy refused to drink his special wine before, and it left a hole where both Tang Li Xue's perfect copy and the fake Crown Prince Feng could exploit according to Instructor Mei Lan's plan!

Just when the fake Crown Prince Feng fell into a more precarious situation as one of Nascent Soul Stage elders grabbed his right hand this time tightly, Tang Li Xue's perfect copy finally decided to help out the fake Crown Prince Feng.

'Use your illusion to me quickly. Don't worry... I am on your side. My people will help us out from here soon, so we only need to stall for ten minutes.' Tang Li Xue's perfect copy secretly whispered to the fake Crown Prince Feng with her [Lock-On Telepathy] skill.
