Villain: He intercepted the heroine at the beginning, and the protagonists collapsed

321: experimentThe Wolf King had escaped.

This was within Chen Tianming’s expectations.

However, Chen Tianming did not expect that just as he was preparing to properly question Yin Yue about who had captured them and the process of the Spirit Race’s marrow-cleansing and meridian-changing upon reaching True Immortal, the Wolf King would appear before the city gate.

He was covered in wounds that had slightly healed, but it did not affect his sturdy physique.

The Wolf King had come seeking his own death.

Yet, he still came.

Seeing Chen Tianming having talked with his sister all night, he was instantly enraged.

His eyes suddenly emitted a golden light, and his pupils turned into vertical slits.

His entire face became ferocious, his wolf fangs protruded, and hard silver spikes sprouted simultaneously from his face and body.

His entire body suddenly enlarged, and with a boom, his rage and spiritual energy were released together, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Chen Tianming watched, only smiling slightly.

The Wolf King no longer had any combat power; he was relying on a secret technique to support his body, which was the only reason he could barely maintain his werewolf form and could not transform into a giant wolf.

”Are you all by yourself?”

Chen Tianming asked contemptuously.

The Wolf King regained some clarity and replied hoarsely.

”I am enough on my own! If I cannot save Mei’er, I will just die here!”

Chen Tianming said nonchalantly.

”Oh, then take her and go!”

The Wolf King was dumbfounded.

”You...”

Yin Yue was weeping.

”Brother! I was saved by my benefactor...”

Chen Tianming urged them.

”Stop dawdling. I’m letting you take her, do you dare?”

The Wolf King hesitated for a moment, then strode forward.

At worst, he would die!

Arriving beside Chen Tianming, the whole city let them pass.

The Wolf King grabbed Yin Yue’s hand and immediately flew away to escape.

But no matter how he tried to escape, Chen Tianming remained behind him like a nightmare.

Leaving the city, diving into the forest, and arriving at the plains, Chen Tianming was always there.

But the Wolf King no longer had the strength to flee.

He was panting, unable to even control his spiritual power; his spiritual energy was not settled and was evaporating outward.

Yet the Wolf King still struggled.

”Didn’t you say you would let us go?”

Chen Tianming finally spoke.

”I didn’t capture you. It’s your sister who is severely injured and still recovering. If you take her away like this, and you die or get captured, that’s your business, but I can’t just watch her die with you, can I?”

”After all, this little fox has called me benefactor for so long...”

The Wolf King looked at his sister beside him.

”Little fox... Mei’er...”

Yin Yue felt a bit guilty.

”Brother, Benefactor has saved me many times. He is not a bad person. I owe him too much, so I want to offer myself to him...”

Yin Yue blushed.

The Wolf King lowered his head.

Suddenly, he coughed up some blood.

He could finally no longer maintain it, and suddenly knelt to the ground, vomiting blood as he gradually transformed into human form.

He was draped in a fox fur coat, his appearance was handsome, and his muscles had also receded.

Chen Tianming walked forward.

”Did you cut away all the flesh and blood from your body and replace it with wolf spirits?”

The Wolf King lay on the ground, gasping for breath.

”Indeed... We were originally of the Fox Race, harmless to humans, and lived in seclusion...”

”But after the Heavenly Gate closed, natural disasters disappeared, and the world entered a peaceful and prosperous era. The human race became immensely prosperous. They envied the beauty of foxes and abducted young spirits from their swaddling clothes to use as slaves... My sister and I practiced diligently, hoping to reverse this situation!”

Chen Tianming asked directly.

”Who captured you, what did they look like, what evil magic did they use, and where were you imprisoned?”

The Wolf King, or more accurately, the Fox King.

He was somewhat confused and bewildered.

”Speaking of these things, I truly do not remember... But that person, he did not use evil magic!”

Chen Tianming frowned.

”That’s impossible, right? Without evil magic, how could they break your Golden Immortal Realm golden body?”

The Fox King shivered.

”It was not just the golden body. My spiritual roots, demon core... everything was stripped away, replaced with new ones. If it didn’t work, they would replace it again!”

Chen Tianming took a deep breath.

What the Fox King described was more like organ replacement.

Except they were replacing organs with the most important parts for cultivation.

Who this person was and what exactly they were trying to do, Chen Tianming had no idea.

He sighed softly.

He couldn’t be in a rush to figure this out; he would just have to wait for now.

So he spoke again.

”Come with me. It will be easier for you to take care of your sister. Although I am not an expert in medicine, in time, your injuries can be healed.”

The Fox King turned back and looked at Yin Yue. Seeing the look of approval in his sister’s eyes, he finally half-knelt.

”Then... thank you, Benefactor!”

After speaking, the Fox King slammed onto the ground with a thud, his body transforming into a giant wolf.

Chen Tianming waved his hand gently, preserving his life.

Afterward, he called for a transport vehicle.

The huge mechanized transport vehicle was nearly ten meters tall.

It was barely enough to accommodate the Fox King.

Using a pile of steel bars and ropes, they slowly returned to the city.

Having taken in the Fox King, Chen Tianming had managed to clarify some things.

In this world, the Demon Race originally reigned supreme.

They were born with spirits and could cultivate into human form.

Until the Heavenly Gods arrived.

They wantonly transformed the fantasy world, absorbing spiritual power, giving birth to humans, and cultivating powerhouses.

The Demon Race rose up in resistance and fought until they were almost extinct, eventually being renamed by the human race as the Demon Race.

Because the members of the Demon Race had different forms, people with wicked tastes would capture true demons for amusement.

Later, some people used demons as experimental subjects, turning them into tyrannical monsters.

This was also the reason why Yin Yue was being hunted.

Although Chen Tianming had learned these things, it did not help him in his research on the migration method.

He studied for a few more days, and the bodies of the Fox King and Yin Yue improved slightly.

Long City remained in a state of peace, completely stagnant, and no longer advancing.

But trouble came nonetheless.

The Baihua Fairy had a good friend.

Chen Tianming did not know if there was an illicit affair between the two, but this good friend did indeed have dalliances with many men.

Chen Tianming was in seclusion studying when he suddenly heard artillery fire outside.

The cannons dismantled from the warships, combined with the augmentation of Chen Tianming’s spiritual power, possessed terrifying might.

But the opponents still forcefully broke through the cannon fire and reached the main gate.

The mercenaries and the new weapons Chen Tianming had researched could no longer resolve the issue, so Chen Tianming flew up to handle it personally.

There were nine people in total in front of the gate.

Chen Tianming recognized three of them.

The leading woman wore a Qianwen Luosha dharma robe; her appearance was beautiful, but her expression was cold, and her eyes were filled with frost.

This was the Baihua Fairy’s good friend, the Pen Immortal.

Beside her were two others: one was the Wave-Treading White Dragon, a maritime overlord who called himself Young Master Dragon, ranked within the top eleven of the fantasy world.

The other was even higher ranked.

Ranked ninth, known as Yuqing Zhenren.

These three alone covered the rankings from nine to eleven.

However, the others were also representatives of the elite in the fantasy world, but since their rankings were lower, Chen Tianming couldn’t be bothered to even glance at them.

Upon seeing Chen Tianming, the group of nine immediately cursed loudly.

”Daoist Tianming, you demon, what kind of evil magic did you use to attack the forty-one cities and kill the Baihua Fairy!”

Chen Tianming calmly descended from the city wall and stood before the nine people.

”Who are you? Don’t just flap your lips! Let’s trade blows!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the opponents were instantly enraged.

A magical artifact flew from their hands, and with a boom, it slammed down—it was an exquisite pagoda!

It was unimaginably huge, a thousand stories high.
