The Return of the Greatest Sect Leader
Chapter 46 ~ Demon Gems

Suddenly Huli transformed into a one-tailed golden fox. Li Yao was not at all surprised to see Huli's change. Since the beginning Li Yao had indeed guessed, if Huli was a human-shaped demon.

The body of the one-tailed golden fox was much smaller than the body of the seven-tailed golden fox. Even so, Huli's body is still quite large because it can be juxtaposed with the body size of an adult wolf.

Huli quickly ran over to the giant golden fox. Apparently the giant golden fox was his mother who had been talked about.

Li Yao scanned the giant golden fox more closely. In the hidden lower part of his stomach, there was a huge wound the result of a very intense battle.

The wound seems to be trying to be hidden from his son, Huli. Li Yao realized that there was something wrong with the condition of the giant golden fox, just by looking at the chaotic flow of his Qi.

Although the breath of the giant golden fox seemed to be full of vitality, now the giant golden fox must be trying hard to look fine in front of his son.

"Mother, I've brought Brother here!" tell Huli to her mother, she quickly rubbed her spoiled head into her mother's enormous hands.

Slowly the eyelids of the giant golden fox began to open. Indeed, the colossal creature never sleeps in the first place, it just closes its eyes to calm down.

Those beautiful golden-coloured eyes immediately swept his gaze towards Li Yao and Tao Yuhan. The colossal creature's eyes were very intimidating, Li Yao could feel that the giant figure was investigating.

"Who's this new little friend?" the golden fox asked, feeling interested in Li Yao's whereabouts.

"Include my name Li Yao, I am a disciple of the Mountain Road Sect and junior of Brother Tao Yuhan." Li Yao introduced himself politely.

"Why did you call me?" tao Yuhan asked straight to the point, not letting Li Yao mince words with her mother Huli.

Tao Yuhan's tone remained flat as usual. Now they are dealing with a creature that can flatten a city overnight! Li Yao was quite astonished to see Tao Yuhan's attitude and manner of speech that seemed very insolent.

Most of the Swordsman King level demons were extremely arrogant creatures, they were extremely irritable with the words and attitudes of a human. Especially if he is much weaker than he is.

Li Yao observed the changes to the giant golden fox then sighed in relief, it was fortunate that his mother Huli did not feel humiliated by Tao Yuhan's manner of speaking.

"Is he someone you can trust?" The giant golden fox asked back, he did not immediately answer Tao Yuhan's question because he felt suspicious of Li Yao.

"I used to believe him, but he lied to me. Now I don't know if I can believe it or not" Tao Yuhan said, discussing the matter that he and Li Yao had put off.

Is that ridiculous lie about pets a serious lie?The question came into Li Yao's mind.

The way of looking at the gigantic golden fox suddenly changed. There was dislike in her beautiful golden eyes when she looked at Li Yao. Somehow Li Yao felt cornered, he should have continued his ridiculous lie to the end.

"Little friend, you have to wait outside! we have an important conversation you shouldn't hear!" gently remove the giant golden fox.

Li Yao's mouth opened and then closed again. Li Yao wanted to protest but he held back. Although curious about the content of their conversation, Li Yao was currently too lazy to argue with Tao Yuhan.

Li Yao voluntarily came out then waited in front of the cave. Li Yao could have secretly eavesdropped on their conversation, but he did not because it was too risky.

"So what do you want to talk about?" tao Yuhan asked after Li Yao's whereabouts disappeared from the cave.

"I will die soon" said the giant golden fox calmly, it was time for him to tell the truth.

Hearing these words coming out of his mother's mouth, Heli looked up and looked at his mother with a question mark.

"So?" tao Yuhan said flatly, as if he had no feelings.

"Mom should have told you a long time ago, that mom was dying. It's just that it's too heavy" the fox's mother said in a weak voice.

"No way!" huli said she didn't want to believe it and cried.

"Little friend, take care of Huli after I die! You're the only person I can trust to take care of Huli." The giant golden fox revealed his request to Tao Yuhan.

Tao Yuhan's expression was still flat, he was not bothered at all with the death of the powerful and friendly creature before his eyes.

"What's the reward?"

Tao Yuhan saw Mother Huli smiling after hearing her words, or it was just Tao Yuhan's feelings.

"I will give you my heart." The giant golden fox offered something extremely valuable to Tao Yuhan in return.

Huli's cry was getting louder and louder.

The heart of the demon is the life of the demon itself. The entire Qi belonging to the demon gathered and spread from the heart, it could be said that the heart of the demon was the Core Qi belonging to a demon.

The heart of the demon is shaped like a jewel, therefore the heart of the demon is also called the Demon Gem. The more dense the color, the more pure the Qi within the demon gem was. The larger the size, then the more amount of Qi inside the stealth gem.

Like living things in general, demons will die if they do not have a heart. Huli's mother was aware of her decision, giving her heart was tantamount to suicide.

In a simple house, there was a boy waiting for his mother to prepare dinner. The boy's father sat next to him.

While waiting for the presence of the only woman in the house, the father and son chatted cheerfully in front of the dining table. The three of them were a normal family living on the outskirts of the southern Blue Cloud City.

The night was like the night on a normal day. A cold, drizzling night, very normal and nothing awkward.

The disturbing sound of a door blow suddenly rang out, forcing the father to go open the door of the house. Not long after the father's departure, the boy heard a strange noise from where his father was.

When the boy reached the front room, he saw a humanoid black monster biting and eating his father's body. The child's body froze, the sight before his eyes was terrifying.

The presence of the child was immediately noticed by the monster, the black monster figure stopped his dinner activities and walked up to the child.

The boy could not move.

Now the child has forgotten how to breathe. When the black monster was very close in front of the child, the child's mother appeared and pulled her child's hand away from the terrible monster.

"GO! DON'T DISTURB MY SON!" said the mother while pointing a machete.

His mother was in front, becoming a shield for the child. The boy could only be glued to see the courage of his mother. As the monster flicked its hand forward, the boy's gaze turned red.

In a simple room, the boy suddenly screamed and woke up with a lot of sweat. It was just a nightmare.

Nightmares stemming from events in the past. Something that the child cannot forget. The boy was crying, the child was the little thief that Deng Xue had saved this afternoon.
