Hao Ren looked at the two groups standing before him, and asked, "So, would the leaders please introduce yourselves?"
The foxes didn't move, but Hao Ren was not having them stand in the void silently either, he sighed and snapped his fingers as he said, "Who are the leaders?"
Two people stepped up from the formations and everyone was surprised. The young man looked at them and asked, "What are your names?"
The leader of the Jade Fox clan said, "I am Sakura." Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novel•fire.net
Hao Ren then gazed at the Soul Flaming Fox clan's leader, and the latter said, "I am Seven."
The young man nodded and asked, "Why are you guys fighting?"
Seven raised her hand and pointed at Sakura as she said, "In the city of humans there is a man that I took fancy to and wanted to pursue him, but this bitch used her charm on him and stole him."
Sakura turned around and said, "I didn't use any charm on that person, he came to my feet on his own. Looking at his virtue, do you think he is worth of my charm."
Hao Ren sighed and he said, "If you two want to fight, then select some other area, don't bother the humans. You have already killed them."
The leaders were compelled but just when they were about to agree, the surroundings changed and two middle-aged women appeared beside them. They slapped the backs of the two leaders, and glared at Hao Ren.
The young leaders woke up and bowed to the two seniors of their races, and stood behind them with a fearful gaze. Just now, they were thinking about making a move against this man, but somehow they ended up being enchanted by him. Had it not been for the two grand elders of the clans to appear, they would have been in greater danger.
Hao Ren looked at the two elders and said, "So, you are the elders of the tribe."
The two ladies nodded and asked, "What do you want human?"
The young man calmly replied, "Leave the human city alone. Fight all you want, but if any single human dies, I will move."
The two ladies exchanged gazes with each other and one of them asked, "Do you really think you can win over us? You are just a Dao Being level cultivator."
They revealed their auras and Hao Ren sensed them to be Dao World level cultivators. Ye Yue quickly grabbed onto the hands of Agnee and Yin before retreating into a distance. Hao Ren faced the winds of pressure and watched the faces of the elders indifferently. Then he sighed and said, "Seems like, before I can convince the other members of your clans I would have to settle the account with you two."
The ladies chuckled and said, "Junior, you talk too much."
Hao Ren revealed his Saint Halo, the same shock was sensed by the two elders that was sensed by Karn. The young man took out his sword and vanished from his spot. Then he turned to look at the elder of the Soul Flame Fox tribe, and waved his hand to cast a cloud of flames that enveloped the old lady.
The young man then stood there silently before the head of the Jade Fox elder flew off the shoulders, and the elder of the Soul Flame Fox turned into scattering ashes. Hao Ren looked at the shocked and scared young leaders as he said, "Go and get your tribe elders here, you have ten minutes. Tell them about the deaths of the grand elders and tell them exactly how it happened. If they don't appear within half an hour, I will come to visit you all and then I will not take in anyone who surrenders or even wishes to become a slave."
He waved his hands and dismissed the two teams like they were insignificant people. The foxes didn't dare to linger around this man. However, when they left, Hao Ren walked over to the side of his people, and showed them his right palm where he was hiding two spatial rings.
Agnee smiled and said, "I want this black one."
Yin nodded and said, "I will take the white one."
Hao Ren said, "The corpse of the Jade Fox elder is a good resource, Yue, take it, use it to comprehend even deeper meaning of charm and advance on your path."
Ye Yue flickered from her position and collected the corpse. Then the young man began to teach his daughters about sword and fist arts. He didn't care about the turmoil he caused in the two tribes. The elders were almost gearing up for war, however, they were told off by the leaders of the tribes.
Sakura said, "Mother, I swear to the heavens and the dao, that man killed two grand elders with one move each. The grand elder of the Soul Flame side, she was reduced to nothing but ashes."
While on the Soul Flame Foxes side, the leader was angry, so angry that the flame ball around her body was boiling in a manner. The elders gave her some reality checks, one of them said, "Leader, I beg your pardon but you are not as strong as the Grand Elder, what do you think you would be able to do against that man?"
The brutal and blunt slap to the face came from the comrade of the same clan and it left her with not many options. She sighed and said, "Gather the elders, we are going to meet this human and tell him that we agree to stir clear to the human colony when we are fighting."
The elders praised the lady for being wise, and then they all began to gather.
Hao Ren had finished a session of tuition when Ye Yue asked, "Big Brother, what do you intend to do with those people? I don't think they serve a purpose."
The young man shook his head and replied, "They serve a great purpose. The Jade Fox can be used to gather information while the Soul Flame Fox will become a very efficient unit of assassins. However, to subdue them we would need to give them what they want."
Ye Yue frowned and asked, "Brother, who can handle the thirst of this fox kind?"
Hao Ren chuckled and said, "I have no idea, but let us see and try."
Shortly after he finished speaking, fifty people, twenty five from Jade Fox, and the same number from the Soul Flame fox appeared in the void at some distance from him. The young man smiled and said, "Welcome, may I ask the leaders to step forward?"
The two leaders stepped forward and Hao Ren got straight to the business, and said, "In the Spirit Siphon Continent the status of the Spirit Beast clans have always been demeaned by the human powers, and sects, am I right?"
The two leaders were surprised to hear him say this but they nodded. Hao Ren continued, "I come from the Spirit Shimmer Continent. The one that has recently merged with your continent and it is being targeted by the Spirit Siphon Council. You know about it?"
The two leaders nodded and the leader of the Jade Fox asked, "What do you need from us, Outsider?"
Hao Ren smiled and said, "I want a chance from you both. A chance that can change the status and fate of your clans completely. I wonder if you would like to hear me out."
The two ladies exchanged glances, they initially wanted to kill him, but the strength he displayed at the moment, made them understand that their decision was the best. They nodded, and Hao Ren said, "Help me infiltrate and assassinate the members of the Council. I want as much as possible."
The lady from the Soul Flame Fox asked, "I want to know what we will get in return."
Hao Ren nodded sincerely and said, "I believe in equal exchange and reciprocation. So if you help me, I will give you the fair status that you need. If you wish to live in the same city with the humans then I will help you better the relations with the human kind. You will become my friend. So, I wonder what you think about the offer."
The two ladies looked at each other and Hao Ren said, "You can think about it for ten minutes. I will assure you of alliance with a heavenly oath. I wonder if you would be willing to take the same."
The people were shocked by this sudden promise and they felt the sincerity that Hao Ren extended toward them. In the world of cultivation, there was no eternal friend, and their was no eternal enemy. Only one thing was eternal here, and that was benefit. The two fox clans understood that they would gain a lot from this alliance, and so after ten minutes, they looked at Hao Ren and said, "We agree."
Just like that, the two Fox Clans were subdued.
