Chapter 1588 – Great Vortex Array
A feeling came over the young eunuch and he turned. He immediately bowed respectfully, “Your Majesty.”
The West Desolate King had a neutral expression but there was a hint of a sneer pulling at the corners of his mouth, “I never expected the capital to be so lively. Stay hidden and watch this with me.”
His eyes were cold as he looked at the Li Residence. In there, the nine-tailed fox was crying out painfully as she was getting burned by the Demon Destruction Flame.
“Yes Your Majesty.” The young eunuch stepped back and hid in the shadows. He looked at the king’s silhouette and could sense the sinister aura emitting from him.
His Majesty was extremely angry and an explanation was needed for what happened today. The nine-tailed fox, the Li Family, the person who created the Demon Destruction Flame…none of them could escape unscathed!
The Imperial Defence Division acted fast to prevent themselves from losing face. They quickly surrounded the Li Residence and blocked anyone from entering or leaving.
The main door of the residence was opened and Li Zicheng stepped out. He said in a low voice, “I will give His Majesty an explanation. None of you shall enter.”
With some hesitation, the group suddenly split into two and Lord Chengtian stepped forwards. He was expressionless, “Ancestor Li, this is the capital.”
The atmosphere was tense outside the residence. Within the flame, the nine-tailed fox could feel her death about to arrive. Her white fur had been burnt and started to fall off in sections. Her rotting flesh was exposed and her cries sounded even more miserable.
“Li Ge! Li Ge! Save me. You promised to bring me out of the West Desolate capital!” Nearby, Li Ge stood up with his sword in hand. His eyebrows raised before returning to being neutral.
Li Ruhua was expressionless but her eyes were cold, “I reminded you not to create trouble.”
Li Ge said slowly, “The nine-tailed fox will die from the Demon Destruction Flame. The West Desolate knows who we are and will not apply too much pressure. At most, the Li Family from Parasol County will pay a bit and the issue will pass.”
Li Ruhua glanced at him, “That better be the case.” But now, the red spot on her hand kept becoming hotter and hotter. This made her uneasy.
She knew of the existence of the Heaven Concealment Book. If the other person had paid such a huge price, how could they let this pass so easily? She was afraid that the situation today had been directed at the two of them.
Li Ruhua’s face fell even more as she thought of something.
At this moment, the nine-tailed fox’s eyes filled with resentment as she realized that Li Ge did not plan to help her. If the Li Family from the Central Desolate did something, she would have a chance to survive. If not, she would definitely die!

The nine-tailed fox cried out. She did not understand how that thing had suddenly become hostile and attacked her, but this was not important. If she did not want to die, the only way was to drag more people into the mud with her. They would either die with her or save her.
Everyone knew that the Fox Clan used passion and their love as opportunities. But other than that, if those from the Fox Clan truly loved someone, they would form a connection in their hearts. This was called Heart Connection.
This connection consumed a lot from the fox demon, and the higher the realm, the greater the loss they had to suffer. So Li Ge never thought that nine-tailed fox Su Yan would have secretly formed a Heart Connection on their first night without caring about how much she had to pay.
As they say, couples are united…this could be seen as a gift from a demon fox to the person they liked. It was great for one’s cultivation and that was how Li Ge’s unstable sword intention was stabilized after a single night. But if that love grew into hatred, they would still be bound together and would have to live and die together.
Hoo – action
An invisible flame suddenly appeared and engulfed Li Ge. His head shot up and his eyes filled with anger.
Woosh –
He drew his sword. A majestic sword intent was emitted from him and it covered his body. It temporarily separated him from the Demon Destruction Flame. However, he was visibly turning pale and beads of sweat started to appear on his forehead.
Li Ge could temporarily stop the effects of the Demon Destruction Flame with his sword. However, he could not cut off the pain that was coming from the nine-tailed fox. This pain was not in his physical body but directly impacted his soul.
“Heart Connection!”
Li Ruhua’s expression changed as she looked at Li Ge. Her stunned expression slowly gave way to disappointment. The future Sword Immortal of the Li Family, the one that was said to have extraordinary aptitude, amounted only to this? He had been set up by a demon fox without even knowing.
It was laughable!
However, she could not just watch Li Ge perish. Because even if there was a reasonable explanation, it would not be viewed well by her clan.
To become a high ranking person in her clan, protecting a useless clan member was the first important test.
The nine-tailed fox was tossing and turning in pain. Her nine tails had been burnt till her flesh was mangled. Her huge tails were violently sweeping the area causing vibrations. In a blink of an eye, the luxurious residence was getting destroyed.
Numerous short pieces of wood and broken stones, containing a terrifying energy, were getting thrown in all directions.
The Fox Clan was astute. They were not as stupid as Lord Min made them out to be.
Otherwise, nine-tailed fox Su Yan would not have damaged her cultivation to create the Heart Connection when she first got the chance. Now, what she needed to do was to create a bigger scene and disrupt the West Desolate’s Imperial Clan Array. If she died, Li Ge would also die. She was forcing the Central Desolate Li Family to take action to save them.
Boom boom –
There was a loud rumble from the sky and a Great Vortex Array appeared. It stretched for over a hundred miles and covered the entire Li Family residence.
This was the array of the West Desolate Capital’s Nation Fate and it could defend even against a King realm Nether Vortex. It was a horrifying array. It stretched over a huge area and even reached the borders.
What was shown today was just a small portion of the entire array’s power. It was not even ten percent of it. But even so, the energy emitted from this vortex caused the space time around the Li Family residence to freeze.
Li Zicheng took a deep breath as he flew into the air and looked at the vortex, “I am from the Li Family of Parasol County. Who dares to be so brazen!”
Lord Chengtian was expressionless, “Ancestor Li, it was your family that first broke the agreement between the Imperial Clan and your ancestors. Move away…otherwise I will activate the power of the Great Vortex Array. On the basis that there is a threat to the capital, I will kill you along with everyone else!”
Li Zicheng was furious. His peak Ruler cultivation burst out from his body and a Heaven Reaching Ancient Parasol Wood Illusion appeared from above his head. It in itself was already extremely powerful and shocking. However, the shock increased even more.
Lord Chengtian narrowed his eyes, looking extremely cold and sinister. He did not hear any orders from His Majesty to stop. If he made a move against Ancestor Li, it would bring about a lot of trouble. But as the king’s close confidante, he had no choice.
Even though he knew that this would bring endless misfortunes, he could only bite the bullet and go ahead. He could not show any hesitation or resistance.
When His Majesty watched, he looked at the details.
If not, even if he killed Ancestor Li today, in His Majesty’s heart, he would not have made any achievements. He would even be alienated, disregarded, and eventually abandoned. He would at most be a replaceable chess piece.
Taking a deep breath, Lord Chengtian raised his hand. A token appeared in his palm.
The token was about as big as his palm. On it, there was a carving of the vortex. It looked extremely lifelike, as if it was turning constantly.
Boom boom boom –
When the token appeared, the vortex above the Li Family’s residence started to expand furiously and it grew even larger in a blink of an eye. The center of it grew even darker, like a mouth about to swallow everything.
Li Zicheng paled and horror filled his eyes.
Firstly, it was because the Great Vortex Array from the West Desolate capital was a lot stronger than he had imagined. Secondly…the West Desolate actually harbored intentions to kill him!
With the current situation, it would be impossible for him to stop even if he wanted to!
“Li Zicheng, come back.” A calm voice could be heard. As he saw Li Ruhua fly into the air, Li Zicheng felt relieved. He thanked his lucky stars before flying behind her and lowering his head.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt this moment, everyone’s attention was on Li Ruhua. They looked stunned as they saw her pretty and elegant face.
Li Ruhua glanced at Lord Chengtian, whose expression did not change and was as cold as stone. She looked up at the Great Vortex Array, “Greetings Your Majesty. I am from the Central Desolate’s Li Family. I am Li Ruhua, from the third generation of the Li Family.”
There was a moment of silence before the king’s calm voice sounded from the vortex, “The Central Desolate Li Family’s prestige spreads far and wide. I have always admired your family and never thought that I would see you today.”
Li Ruhua greeted, “Your Majesty is too polite. We do not have any ill intentions towards the West Desolate for our trip here. Please help me to save my clan member.”
There was silence from the vortex. It seemed as if the king was not pleased with her explanation.
Li Ruhua took a deep breath, “I will give you an explanation and…the Li Family will owe the West Desolate a favor.”
“Okay.”
The king’s voice could be heard from the vortex. In the next moment, a majestic aura formed.
Woosh –
Like a bolt of lightning, it cut through the air and into the body of the nine-tailed fox burning from the Demon Destruction Flame.
“Ahhh!”
She cried out and the huge demon body split into two. Her eyes turned bleak as she lost her life.
Boom boom boom –
As the demon’s body fell, it destroyed half of the residence.
Even with Li Ruhua’s cultivation realm, she could barely catch a glimpse of the light illusion…with a single sword, it suppressed the Nation Fate and was cleansed by incense power. This was the true divine tool of the West Desolate!
This was the only reason why the sword was able to kill the nine-tailed fox and cut the Heart Connection, saving Li Ge.
But this only saved his life.
Pfft –
Li Ge was shaking and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Blood flowed out from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. The long sword in his hand was broken into two. The cut was extremely clean and resembled the cut that split the nine-tailed fox.
The person was saved but the sword was destroyed…the sword of the sword cultivator was broken to save his life. But from another perspective, this was also equivalent to death.
Li Zicheng paled and shock filled his eyes. He never expected that even after the two young ancestors revealed their identity, the West Desolate King would still hit so hard.
“The fox demon is dead and Li Ge survives. I kept my word. Now, I will wait for your explanation.” From above, the immensely huge vortex slowly disappeared.
