The Return of the Greatest Sect Leader
Chapter 45 ~ Golden Fox

Tao Yuhan's physique had returned to normal, his purple-colored eyes and the veins around his eyes had returned as usual. Even so, Li Yao still felt something different from Tao Yuhan.

A minute had passed, ever since Tao Yuhan started chasing after the mysterious little girl. Li Yao could only helplessly follow him from behind.

The fight between Cheng Lei and the monster had ended. Now Li Yao already did not sense the demonic Qi from the direction of their battle. Who wins between the two of them? Li Yao was not sure.

The existence of both of them disappeared almost at the same time, but the existence that first disappeared was none other than Cheng Lei. That fact strengthened Li Yao's analysis that the monster had not died.

Cheng Lei was probably dead, but Li Yao was not too sure. A warrior of heaven would not die that easily. Li Yao was much more confident that Cheng Lei had gone on the run.

Rather than following the highly suspicious little girl, Li Yao actually wanted to check out the battle location of Cheng Lei and the creature. If only Tao Yuhan could be invited to work together.

Going alone to the location of the battle was not a good decision. What if the monster was still wandering around there? Li Yao's strength was still insufficient to deal with a heaven-level warrior-like being.

Tao Yuhan's steps slowed down, now he aligned himself right next to Li Yao.

"Don't tell my father that I fight not with my sword!" said Tao Yuhan coldly.

"Why?" li Yao asked confusedly. He still remembered the trust given by the sect leader, that Tao Yuhan should not take off his sword.

"Just don't!"

"I mean why don't you use your sword?" Li Yao clarified his question.

Suddenly Tao Yuhan looked at Li Yao like he was staring at a fool. Who among them is stupid? Li Yao did not like being looked at like that.

"Are you worried about me? Do you think that I won't be able to survive in the beast tide?" li Yao said in her own astonishment, the thought suddenly popped into her head.

Tao Yuhan was silent.

Li Yao refrained himself from laughing sarcastically. As someone who had once reached the top, he had never felt treated like this.

"Do I look weak?" li Yao said as if speaking alone.

"So don't you ever worry about me! Even if it looks like this, I'm strong and have a lot of little tricks."

Silent.

"Just don't tell my dad!" repeat Tao Yuhan.

A minute passed, the footsteps of the girl's figure grew faster. That fact is clearly very unnatural. Had Tao Yuhan not prohibited Li Yao from capturing the suspicious girl, Li Yao would have already chased after her at full speed.

The suspicious girl quickly entered a large cave. There must be something inside the cave, Li Yao's premonition said that. Li Yao stopped his footsteps, yet Tao Yuhan thoughtlessly entered it straight away.

Li Yao sighed resignedly and was forced to follow Tao Yuhan. Inside the dark cave, Li Yao suddenly saw the suspicious girl jumping towards Tao Yuhan then hugging her.

"Holy, stop!" said Tao Yuhan, troubled by the embrace by the little girl named Xiao Huli.

"Holy long time no see Brother! Huli kangen!" reply the little girl spoiled.

"At first Huli looked for Brother in an ordinary place, but Huli did not see Brother everywhere. Huli came home and smelled blood so delicious, it turned out that Big Brother was there." Huli explained the reason for being in that place.

"Why lookin' for me?" Tao Yuhan interrogated.

"Mother wants to talk to Big Brother," Huli replied innocently.

The two girls looked like a pair of sisters, sister and brother. They are very contrasting. Huli was cheerful and innocent, while Tao Yuhan was cold and flat. Seeing the scene, Li Yao repeatedly uttered his mission inwardly.

"Before that... "

Tao Yuhan glanced at Li Yao, then said something unexpected in this situation.

"You said once that you were looking for your master. Is your master he?"

Those beautiful Huli eyes immediately pointed at Li Yao. Li Yao simply kept silent, in his heart he wondered about the meaning of Tao Yuhan's words.

Was Tao Yuhan discussing the lies Li Yao had said about pets or something like that? Li Yao did not expect Tao Yuhan to still remember such a ridiculous lie.

"Who is he?" ask the little girl confused.

Tao Yuhan's gaze grew even colder as he looked at Li Yao. Li Yao hurriedly admitted his lie, it could be dire if Tao Yuhan believed all of his lies.

"Stop looking at me like that! I admit, I lied at the time. I actually went to my secret place, so there's no way I'm telling you."

"But who would be fooled by that ridiculous lie? You should have realized that I was just lying!" li Yao said in a high tone, being in a child's body makes it difficult to control emotions.

"So you're lying?" said Tao Yuhan in disbelief.

"Do you still believe?" li Yao replied in disbelief as well.

Silence back.

"Let's go see mom!" Huli asked awkwardly, it seemed that Huli was aware of the strange silence created between Li Yao and Tao Yuhan.

Li Yao and Tao Yuhan immediately followed Huli who entered further into the cave. The cave was very dark, the moonlight did not enter the cave at all. It was fortunate that Li Yao's senses were extremely sharp. Even though he cannot see in the dark, he can still move freely.

In contrast to Li Yao, Tao Yuhan's eyes seemed to be able to see inside the dark as clearly as during the day. Not long after, they finally arrived at a very large part of the cave.

In that place, soft moonlight can enter through the hollow ceiling of the cave. Li Yao was stunned. Just under the radiance of the goddess of the night, he saw a giant golden-furred fox lying peacefully.

The giant golden fox had 7 tails behind it. Li Yao realized that he was now dealing with a Swordsman King-level creature.

According to legend, the golden fox had the chance to evolve into a very powerful Hell Demon. The more the number of tails, the stronger the power possessed by the golden fox.

When the golden fox had 9 tails, even the lord of heaven would have trouble defeating him despite cooperating. The golden fox was an extremely rare type of demon, Li Yao had not expected to see it on life this time around.
