Chapter 849: I Don’t Want to be Enemies with Senior Martial Brother…

Is this arrogant Sword Saint hiding some kind of backstory?

Could it be that you were raised by some Fox Lady and now have a soft spot for the Fox Clan? Willing to save them at this point?

This is absurd beyond absurdity; it’s chaos at its finest.

“Fine, I’ll tentatively believe you.”

Lin Nuo said, with the Sword Saint providing support, everything becomes much smoother. Carrying one senior along isn’t an issue—just absolutely amazing.

Right now, there are two armies: one is Luo Xiaoxue’s Royal Guard and the other is the Fox Clan’s.

Honestly, these two groups are like water and fire; they usually clash when together, but right now, they’re getting along just fine.

They can’t afford not to be friendly. With Luo Xiaoxue giving orders on her side, and the Fox Clan too scared to say or ask anything, they wouldn’t dare stir trouble.

With no choice, where to go? That’s still a mystery; we can only wait.

These two forces can’t intermingle. The large Fox Clan group is reserved for Ruo’er.

Now the question arises: where on earth is Ruo’er?

First things first, gather up the Fox Clan troops.

To be honest, these Demon Foxes have no idea who Lin Nuo is; they just know he’s powerful, able to lead them to break through, and has an impressive ally in the formidable Sword Saint.

They obey him without hesitation, standing in formation, even the wounded endure their pain.

Lin Nuo helps treat their injuries—he can manage superficial wounds; it’s always good to have more skills. For more serious internal injuries, you’d need someone as skilled as Liu Shuqin.

“Um, um, excuse me, where… are we going…?”

A timid fox demon mustered the courage to ask with a trembling voice.

“To your safe haven. Right now, you’re all being hunted down and need to band together; otherwise, you could face extinction. Someone will lead you.”

“Extinction…”

Hearing this, the fox demons became genuinely terrified.

When the word “extinction” is thrown around, it’s no joke. You can imagine how much the world despises them.

“So, who is leading us…?”

“It’s a girl from the White Fox tribe; don’t worry, she’ll guide you toward prosperity.”

Lin Nuo casually remarked, painting a big picture for them—a grand vision to ease their distress.

To be honest, Ruo’er hasn’t led a group before and who knows if she can manage these Demon Foxes properly.

At least, let her have her own troops and influence; with time, she could become a significant power.

Upon hearing “White Fox,” the Sword Saint displayed a subtle change in expression.

Normally aloof, he couldn’t help but inquire, “White Fox? Who is that?”

“You don’t need to concern yourself with that. If you ever have time, just go take a look, and you’ll find out.”

Turning his own words against him, making him act all high and mighty.

But as soon as “White Fox” came up, this arrogant Sword Saint was curious, perhaps having some connection with that species.

The Sword Saint said nothing further, gripping his sword tightly, turning around as if deep in thought.

“Where do your kind usually reside? All the fox demons are currently in danger and need to come together. You need to resist—fight against the injustice humans bring upon you. For freedom, for your tribe, you must seek your own tomorrow.”

Once again, painting an inspiring vision—he really knows how to stir the atmosphere, igniting the spirit of the Grass Mud Horse.

Through gathering intel, Lin Nuo got a general idea of the fox demons’ activity patterns—they mostly dwell in mountains and forests, some even establish their own tribes.

But they can’t stray far from water sources, meaning wherever there’s water, they may be found.

Especially in those high mountains where torrents flow down—prime real estate for the demon tribe.

After organizing the fox demons, there’s still one more group: Luo Xiaoxue’s Royal Guard. This fake princess, Han Xiao, is looking quite the part, commanding the Royal Guard confidently.

However, they can’t tag along any longer. Humans need to be with humans, demons with demons; they need to fight their own battles.

This group now includes one person—the king among kings, dear Sister Su. This girl is now a wildcard; who knows how she’ll handle herself.

It’s hard to gauge her current level or what she becomes once she explodes with power.

Right now, she’s with them, and the Sword Saint occasionally checks on her, seeming to value her presence.

“Senior Martial Brother.”

Su Kexin approached, gently tugging at his sleeve, whispering,

“Do you have time now?”

Lin Nuo glanced at her and replied,

“What’s up?”

“There’s something I’ve been wanting to ask you… but I didn’t because you were busy before.”

“You’re going to ask me about betraying the Xuanyun Sect, aren’t you?”

Lin Nuo cut straight to the point. Su Kexin froze for a moment, then nodded,

“Um… is that truly your intention…?”

“Come here.”

Lin Nuo took her hand, leading her aside; some discussions are best done in private.

Naturally, Luo Xiaoxue, who had been watching Lin Nuo, caught sight of this.

She cared deeply since Lin Nuo had previously exerted himself to save Su Kexin, so it was impossible for her not to care about their relationship.

What are they discussing? Why go to the side for it?

Feeling concerned, she was still negotiating future plans with Han Xiao when Lin Nuo dashed off, secretly following after them.

Observing quietly.

“Senior Martial Brother, please tell me about that matter… There’s chatter within the sect about you and the Master Sister, about betrayal and stepping into the demonic path, going against initial intentions…”

“So? Are you planning to oppose me now?”

Lin Nuo released her hand, standing by the riverbank with Su Kexin.

“I… I think there must be a reason behind your actions, because you wouldn’t do something like this for no reason… that makes no logical sense at all.”

Su Kexin quietly said, lacking confidence, her voice barely audible, yet Lin Nuo could hear her clearly.

“Logic? There’s no logic to be had. This world is simply crazy; a perfectly fine person might become a murderer the next day, and it wouldn’t even raise an eyebrow. You’re trembling in fear now, but who would’ve thought that one day you might pick up your sword and kill many? You claim the Xuanyun Sect is compassionate, yet even it will forsake kin for so-called righteousness.”

Lin Nuo chuckled, mocking the insanity of this world. He’d been through it all; this world truly is mad. In reality, it’s all the same; he just has more experience here.

There’s a hidden meaning in his words, leaving Su Kexin momentarily puzzled.

“Senior Martial Brother, so are you planning to leave the Xuanyun Sect?”

“This isn’t something I should tell you directly. It’s for you to understand.”

Lin Nuo looked at her, exasperated, as if disappointed in her for questioning what others have already flipped about.

“I… don’t want to be your enemy… um… I’m not saying, that you’re on an irreversible path. Perhaps I still don’t understand you. Let time prove it; I trust you’ll give me an unexpected answer in due time. Um… Senior Martial Brother, this sword, I’m giving it to you.”

Su Kexin summoned the Phoenix Sword and handed it to Lin Nuo.
