Chapter 3184: The Branch Leader of the Phantom Fox Clan

“The law of space,” Huan’er replied.

“The law of space?” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes widened in disbelief. He did not expect her to comprehend the same law as him. However, after a while, he thought it was not that surprising. The Phantom Fox Clan was known for being skilled in illusions. Moreover, as a rare Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox that only appeared once in a million years, it was only natural that she would comprehend the law of space from the Four Supreme Laws.

“How many profundities have you comprehended?” Duan Ling Tian asked.

“Five profundities,” Huan’er replied.

“Five profundities?” Duan Ling Tian was no longer as shocked as he was earlier. After all, he had already comprehended seven profundities of the law of space and had even comprehended one of the profundities to the initial stage. He asked again, “Which profundities did you comprehend?”

“The Teleportation Profundity, the Distortion Profundity, the Restraining Profundity, the Magnetic Storm Profundity, and the Creation Profundity,” Huan’er replied honestly.

“The Magnetic Storm Profundity and the Creation Profundity?” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes widened slightly. These were the two profundities from the law of space that he had yet to comprehend.

There were nine profundities from the law of space: the Space Elemental Profundity, the Teleportation Profundity, the Transportation Profundity, the Distortion Profundity, the Restraining Profundity, the Territory Profundity, the Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity, the Magnetic Storm Profundity, and the Creation Profundity.

“Huan’er, you’ve actually comprehended six profundities. You forgot about the Fundamental Profundity, the Space Elemental Profundity.” Duan Ling Tian smiled wryly. He did not expect her to have comprehended six profundities, only a profundity short of the profundities he had comprehended. Then, he asked again, “Huan’er, did you comprehend any of the profundities to the initial stage?”

“Yes.” Huan’er nodded.

Despite being mentally prepared, Duan Ling Tian was still dumbfounded. “Which profundity did you comprehend to the initial stage?”

“The Creation Profundity,” Huan’er replied.

The Creation Profundity was an assistive profundity of the law of space. One could create countless spaces to confuse one’s enemies. It was rather similar to the effects of Illusory Formations.

‘Being a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox, Huan’er has a slight advantage in regard to the Creation Profundity. That said, I didn’t expect her to improve so much in such a short time.’ Duan Ling Tian was shocked by Huan’er’s progress. At the same time, he felt relieved again when he thought about the two men who had been tailing Huan’er. Fortunately, they did not know she was a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox. Otherwise, they definitely would have attacked her instead of just tailing her.

During their journey back to the Imperial Tutor Pavilion, Duan Ling Tian had asked the old man about the two men’s cultivation bases. He learned that one of them was a Seven Stars Celestial King and the other one was an Eight Trigrams Celestial King. If they were to attack Huan’er, she would not stand a chance against them at all.

‘Since they were tailing her, it’s clear they were suspicious of her even if they weren’t sure she’s a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox. I wonder if they’d inform any of their members about this. It’d be troublesome if they did,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself worriedly. Little did he know, he had guessed right.

In the Phantom Fox Clan in the Southern Heaven Territory.

It did not take long for the Phantom Fox Clan to learn about the deaths of two of their members after the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion killed them. The deceased members were Celestial Kings; it was only natural that their Soul Pearls were kept in the clan. When their Soul Pearls shattered, the entire clan was shocked.

“Zhang Qi Yu and Zhang Li Zhong are dead… Before they died, they sent a message saying they met a woman whom they suspected to be a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox.”

“A Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox? Is it the same Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox that the clan leader in the Seven Upper Province had ordered our branch in the Southern Heaven Territory to keep a lookout for?”

“Is it true?”

“They weren’t sure; it was only a suspicion… However, considering their deaths, this matter is definitely not as simple as it seems.”

“I remember they said the woman’s a Ten Directions Celestial Duke even though she’s not even 100 years old, right?”

“A Ten Directions Celestial Duke who isn’t 100 years old? If that’s true, she’s probably a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox!”

“A person with such talents isn’t all that rare anymore. Haven’t you heard about the Ten Directions Celestial Duke who’s under the age of 100 from the Profound Nether Mansion? Moreover, it’s said that he has comprehended all nine profundities from the law of space. What’s even more shocking is that he has comprehended the law of space’s Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity to the initial stage!”

“Whatever it is, we should investigate that woman. Did Zhang Qi Yu and Zhang Li Zhong mention their whereabouts?”

“Yes, they seemed to be near the Profound Nether Mansion’s estate!”

“That’s where that genius from the Profound Nether Mansion currently lives!”

At this moment, three members from the Phantom Fox Clan were flying in the air.

A white-clad young man seemed to be the leader of the group. Although his hair and eyebrows were white, his appearance was that of someone in his early twenties. He was the Branch Leader of the Phantom Fox Clan in the Southern Heaven Territory and also a Celestial Lord. Therefore, despite his young appearance, he was highly respected. This could be seen from the attitude of the two old men who flew behind him.

Since the matter was related to the possible appearance of a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox and the deaths of two of their members, the branch leader had decided to personally investigate the matter.

The main branch of the Phantom Fox Clan was located in the Seven Upper Province of the Spirit Overarching Heaven, and the Phantom Fox Clan in the Southern Heaven Territory was only a branch clan.

Ten years ago, all branch clans of the Phantom Fox Clan had received orders from the clan leader of the main branch to search for a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox.

“Branch leader, why do you think the clan leader from the main branch is desperately searching for the Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox? Based on my knowledge, in the past, whenever a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox appears in the clan, they will let it out to explore the world. Only when it has become a Celestial Emperor would it be allowed to return to the clan,” one of the old men asked.

“From what I heard, it seems like this Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox is from the Du Clan… Do you understand now?” the young clan leader said lightly.

The Phantom Fox Clan was further divided into three clans: the Zhang Clan, the Du Clan, and the Yuan Clan.

“Our Zhang Clan has always maintained a neutral stance, but the disputes between the Yuan Clan and the Du Clan have been going on for years… I wonder which clan will emerge victorious?” the other old man wondered out loud.

“It’s not our place to speculate about such matters. What’s important is for us to find out if the woman Zhang Li Zhong and Zhang Qi Yu met is a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox. If she is, our branch clan will be handsomely rewarded once we report the matter to the clan leader of the main clan,” the young man said as his eyes gleamed brightly at the thought of the rewards.

Similarly, the two old men’s eyes brightened as well when they thought about the rewards they would receive if they found the Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox.

Duan Ling Tian was naturally unaware that the members from the Phantom Fox Clan were on their way to the Profound Nether Mansion, let alone the fact that the branch leader who was a Celestial Lord had personally come as well.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian was lost in his thoughts. ‘Since Huan’er comprehended the law of space, she should be able to use the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity as well’! He intended to share the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity with her. After all, as long as one kept the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity close, one would be able to see the law of space’s demonstration in one’s dreams.

After he tested to see if the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity would work on Huan’er since she was not human, he discovered that it worked for Huan’er. Therefore, he said, “Huan’er, since the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity can help you, you’ll sleep while I cultivate and vice versa.”

“Alright, I’ll listen to you, Brother Ling Tian.” Huan’er nodded obediently.

‘Huan’er is a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox; her innate talent and comprehension skills are incredibly high. With the Celestial Fruits given by the old man and the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity, her progress should be much faster than mine!’ Duan Ling Tian was certain of this. He was neither jealous nor disappointed. Instead, he was genuinely happy for Huan’er. Since they were together, it would only benefit him if Huan’er became stronger.

While Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er took turns to cultivate and sleep, the Mansion Master of the Profound Nether Mansion received news that the Branch Leader of the Phantom Fox Clan was coming for a visit.

The Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion had already told him he had killed two members from the Phantom Fox Clan so he was immediately alerted about the Branch Leader of the Phantom Fox Clan’s visit.

Upon receiving this news, the old man, the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion, was slightly surprised. His eyes flashed as he muttered to himself, “It seems like that girl isn’t ordinary…”

After a moment, the old man said to the mansion master, “Meet him and find out what brings him here.”

“Alright.”

When the Mansion Master of the Profound Nether Mansion finally met the Branch Leader of the Phantom Fox Clan, he did not beat around the bush and asked with a smile, “Branch Leader Zhang, may I know what brings you to the Profound Nether Mansion? If I’m not mistaken, this is your first visit to the Profound Nether Mansion.”

Similarly, the Branch Leader of the Phantom Fox Clan did not beat around the bush and replied, “Mansion Master Zhong, I came here because of our suspicion that two of our clan members were killed outside the Profound Nether Mansion’s estate. I wonder if you know anything about this matter?”

“Is this true?” The mansion master feigned an astonished expression on his face. Then, he asked with a frown on his face, “But what were the members of the Phantom Fox Clan doing outside the Profound Nether Mansion’s estate? Were they helping the Blood Skull Gang?”

“The Blood Skull Gang?” The branch leader’s brows rose.

“There are three assassins from the Blood Skull Gang lingering outside our mansion’s estate. Is it possible that your men had a conflict with the assassins?” the mansion master speculated out loud.
