“Transformation.” An Jiuyue looked up at him and replied.
“No one else can see it except me. But once it learns the level-one skill and transforms, everyone will be able to see it.”
Someone asked, “Does it mean it’ll grow bigger and transform into something bigger?”
“It can transform into many types of small beasts and even humans,” An Jiuyue explained.
However, she omitted the fact that the Flame Fox had to be at a higher level to transform into a human. At level one, it could only become a kitten or another to play with others and be visible to everyone.
“Jiyun, we’ve found the little guy. Let’s go back.”
“Okay.”
When Qian Jiyun saw her hands turn, he knew she had sent Flame Fox into her space. He held her hand and instructed everyone, “Descend the mountain.”
“Yes, Hall Master,” Yan Feng and the others replied in unison and prepared to leave the mountain.
At this moment, there was no peace at the foot of the mountain either.
Jun Lin Hall had suffered several unknown attacks. Although MO Aotian was around, he failed to capture the attackers alive each time—they were either dead or had escaped.
“What are these people trying to do? Are they just attacking for fun?”
Inside the hall, MO Aotian was so angry that his hair stood on end. Those people would attack Jun Lin Hall from time to time, yet their motives for these attacks were unclear; it seemed they were simply here to attack their people.
Of course, the people from Jun Lin Hall were not to be trifled with. There were occasional injuries, but no one died.
On the other hand, many of the people who came to attack died in Jun Lin Hall.
“If their identities can’t be traced, they must be sacrificial warriors. Investigate which families they are associated with and focus your investigation on the Ling family,” he instructed his subordinate.
“Yes, Third Hall Master,” the subordinate replied, leaving to investigate.
“Huff!” MO Aotian sighed and looked into the distance coldly.
He was almost certain that the Ling family was behind this. However, he could not accuse them of this without evidence.
Moreover, there were already 100 sacrificial warriors who had died in Jun Lin Hall, including the recent casualties. This did not seem like something the Ling family could afford.
Which aristocratic family did Master Ling join forces with? What were Master Ling’s intentions? And what did he want from Jun Lin Hall?
What could he gain from these unexplained attacks? Was he merely sending corpses to Jun Lin Hall to train their people and help them with their cultivation?
MO Aotian could not understand why those sacrificial warriors had come to die. “That old Ling! I want to see what other strange things you’re capable of!”
Although he said that, he had a feeling that Jun Lin Hall had something he was unaware of.
What could it be?
He took a deep breath and walked out the door, looking at the dark sky.
Inside a small residence, the courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and the residence itself was dilapidated. Its walls, doors, and roof were broken, with only a few tiles remaining.
However, there was a secret passage in this small residence. Descending through it led to a large cave where various items were stored, making it possible for someone to live there.
Several subordinates gazed at the Ling family head, who was seated in an elevated position.
“Master, I don’t understand. Why are you hiding?” one of them asked, puzzled..
