Tens of thousands of miles away from the demonic cult was a small island where a powerful force was located.
The Clan of the Devil's Nine-Tailed Foxes.
Like the cult, they followed the demonic path and had existed since ancient times. However, unlike the cult, which constantly shed their own blood and the blood of righteous practitioners, the clan did not engage in warfare. Instead, they developed peacefully and remained detached from the outside world.
It couldn't be said that the clan was weak compared to other forces, on the contrary, they were almost on equal footing. It was just that the current matriarch of the clan had issued a decree stating that anyone who shed the blood of an outsider would be personally killed by her. After that, the devilish nine-tailed foxes seemed to have disappeared from the world and hadn't appeared for over a nine hundred years.
Some said that they had provoked a civil war and killed each other, while others believed that they had simply been killed. Opinions varied, and everyone believed their own opinion to be correct.
Inside a huge and majestic room, a seductive mature woman was sitting and calmly drinking tea.
Her curvaceous figure accentuated her elegance, and her enchanting face even appeared incredibly alluring, even when indifferent. Her figure was like the embodiment of divine grace, and her jet-black hair cascaded to the ground, intertwined with nine fluffy tails.
She was Jiang Mei, the current matriarch of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox Clan.
"The prediction of our ancestors is about to come true, Jiang Hua has already grown up and she has to deal with it somehow.."At that moment, she was lost in thought and her index finger was tapping lightly on the table.
"If the prediction is correct, then only by obtaining it will we be able to deal with the future threat of total annihilation" Sighing slightly, Jiang Mei shook her head and shifted her gaze to the girl opposite.
Unlike Jiang Mei, this one seemed to be the exact opposite of gentle and calm. Her appearance was an exact replica of Jiang Mei, except that she looked much younger and at first glance one could tell that they were related.
Despite her incredible beauty, the girl could not cause men to feel attracted or in love, but fear and horror. Her indifferent eyes seemed to be devoid of all emotions, but at the same time, her figure was too seductive.
"Auntie, you wanted to see me" The indifferent girl asked with a slight bow.
Nodding, Jiang Mei replied:
"Jiang Hua, if I'm not mistaken, you turned twenty this year?"
"Yes, auntie" Jiang Hua replied in some confusion.
"I hope he's not one of those picky men who look at age instead of talent and beauty" Jiang Mei thought, and with a slight sigh, she said the following:
"As the heir of my clan of the devil nine-tailed foxes, you should know that our ancestor could look into the secrets of the heavens and spy on the future"
Jiang Hua nodded, everyone in the clan knew about the clan's powerful and mysterious ancestor. According to rumors, he was incredibly strong, but because the heavens discovered his secret, he was punished and died soon after.
"The rumors about the ancestor are only half true. He was indeed punished and killed by the heavens. But before he died, he revealed the future of our clan" Jiang Mei paused for a moment and took a sip of tea before continuing.
"This secret was hidden from the public, and only I and a few elders knew the truth. At the moment of the ancestor's death, everyone present heard him reveal the prophecy"
Jiang Hua was slightly tense.
"He said that within a thousand years, our clan would be completely wiped out by an unknown person, and only one person would be able to embroider. The ancestor could not see the killer's face clearly, but it was a woman"
Jiang Hua's eyes widened, and she was slightly skeptical of her aunt's words.
How could a single woman completely wipe out their clan?
It was worth noting that her aunt was at the peak of the Soul and Body Ascension stage(5) and was one of the most formidable beings in this world, and there were also elders who were at the same stage.
How terrifying must that woman be to be able to kill them all?
Jiang Hua's body trembled slightly, and her small fists clenched nervously. This news was like a bolt of lightning striking the back of her head.
"After the ancestor's words, I became extremely determined to become stronger by spending time in seclusion, but the ancestor's words kept repeating in my mind. Even now, when there is no one who can easily kill me, I still doubt if I can escape the prophecy" At this moment, Jiang Mei's gaze became hesitant, but she knew that if she lost, it would be the end for all the devil foxes.
"It's been almost a thousand years since the ancestor's prediction, and only ten years remain before the deadline. At his last breath, the ancestor revealed that there is only one person who can solve our problem, but in order for him tohelp us, the heir of the devil foxes must marry him, and only then will the future change. All these years, I thought I would become the wife of a mysterious man, but when you appeared, everything changed"
"Aunt..."
"Marrying a stranger who, according to the ancestor, can save us from disaster is nonsense..." Said Jiang Hua.
"This is absurd! Do you think the prediction is fake? The ancestor always said what was going on and out of the question!" Jiang Mei glared angrily.
"You haven't heard all the terrifying things the ancestor said. Without him, we won't have a future… Every member of our clan will live in unimaginable suffering, and even I won't be able to change anything"
Jiang Hua, who was kneeling with her legs bent, remained silent. Various emotions flashed across her expressionless face.
Anger, fear, stubbornness, and even hatred for a fate that could not be changed.
After all, she had been the rightful heir of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan for over twenty years, and the thought of marrying a stranger frightened her.
