Li Xuanqing lightly tapped a relatively intact tile among the ruins, his figure as graceful as a swallow, disappearing into the night after a few leaps. Di Renjie got up from the ground, brushed off the dust from his clothes, furrowed his brows, and looked in the direction where Li Xuanqing had vanished, filled with confusion and concern.
"My lord, what should we do now?" Wang Hu rushed to Di Renjie's side, asking anxiously. He gazed at the devastation before him; the Drunken Moon Pavilion had turned into ruins, flames soaring into the sky and casting a red glow across half the night.
"First, save the people!" Di Renjie decisively commanded the arriving officers to extinguish the fire and rescue those trapped.
…
Li Xuanqing found a secluded courtyard and gently placed the unconscious Red Fox on a bed. He reached out to check her breath and found it weak and barely perceptible.
"How could this happen?" Li Xuanqing frowned deeply, gathering a faint blue light at his fingertips and slowly probing into Red Fox's body.
After a moment, he withdrew his hand, his expression growing increasingly grave. The chaotic demonic energy within Red Fox indicated that she had gone astray while practicing forbidden techniques, putting her life in imminent danger.
"It seems I can only use the Soul Searching Technique," Li Xuanqing murmured to himself.
He took a deep breath, closed his eyes slightly, and once again gathered a golden light at his fingertips, gently touching Red Fox's forehead. Instantly, fragments of Red Fox's memories began to surface…
…
"Sister… I… I don't want to be your shadow anymore… I want… I want…" In the vision, a frail little girl cried out, her eyes filled with pain and despair.
"Little sister… don’t worry… wait for me… once I break the seal… we will be able to…" Another voice was weak yet carried an undeniable determination.
The scene shifted; the little girl had grown up into the now enchanting Red Fox. She stood before an ancient altar, hands forming seals as she chanted incantations. In the center of the altar, a massive seal flickered with an eerie glow.
"Nine-Tailed Fox… I will definitely… break your seal… and let you… return to the world…" Red Fox's voice became frenzied and distorted.
…
Li Xuanqing suddenly opened his eyes wide, his face pale and beads of sweat forming on his forehead. He finally understood everything! It turned out that Red Fox was actually a manifestation of the ancient demon beast—the Nine-Tailed Fox! And her practice of forbidden techniques was aimed at breaking the seal to release the Nine-Tailed Fox!
"This is bad! I must stop her as soon as possible!" Li Xuanqing realized the seriousness of the situation; if the Nine-Tailed Fox broke free from its seal, the consequences would be unimaginable!
…
Li Xuanqing returned to the ruins of Drunken Moon Pavilion but did not see Di Renjie anywhere. He grabbed an officer who was helping to put out fires and asked, "Brother, have you seen Lord Di?"
The officer was startled by Li Xuanqing's sudden question and took a moment to collect himself before pointing in the distance. "Lord Di is over there!"
Following the officer's point direction, Li Xuanqing saw Di Renjie standing in the center of the ruins, his brow furrowed as if deep in thought.
"Lord Di!" Li Xuanqing quickly approached and bowed respectfully.
Di Renjie turned upon hearing his voice and saw it was Li Xuanqing. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes before he regained his composure and asked solemnly, "Young Master Li, have you found any clues? What exactly happened at Drunken Moon Pavilion?"
Li Xuanqing looked around and lowered his voice, saying, "This is a long story. Let's find another place to talk." Di Renjie nodded, signaling Wang Hu to continue directing the firefighting efforts, and then followed Li Xuanqing to a nearby teahouse.
