Chapter 5665
- Since the matter was related to the possible appearance of a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox and the deaths of two of their members, the branch leader had decided to personally investigate the matter. The main branch of the Phantom Fox Clan was located in the Seven Upper Province of the Spirit Overarching Heaven, and the Phantom Fox Clan in the Southern Heaven Territory was only a branch clan. Ten years ago, all branch clans of the Phantom Fox Clan had received orders from the clan leader of the main branch to search for a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox. “Branch leader, why do you think the clan leader from the main branch is desperately searching for the Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox? Based on my knowledge, in the past, whenever a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox appears in the clan, they will let it out to explore the world. Only when it has become a Celestial Emperor would it be allowed to return to the clan,” one of the old men asked. “From what I heard, it seems like this Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox is from the Benz Clan... Do you understand now?” the young clan leader said lightly. The Phantom Fox Clan was further divided into three clans: the Erickson Clan, the Benz Clan, and the Warren Clan. “Our Erickson Clan has always maintained a neutral stance, but the disputes between the Warren Clan and the Benz Clan have been going on for years... I wonder which clan will emerge victorious?” the other old man wondered out loud. “It’s not our place to speculate about such matters. What’s important is for us to find out if the woman Lucky and Quill met is a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox. If she is, our branch clan will be handsomely rewarded once we report the matter to the clan leader of the main clan,” the young man said as his eyes gleamed brightly at the thought of the rewards. Similarly, the two old men’s eyes brightened as well when they thought about the rewards they would receive if they found the Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox. ... David Bishop was naturally unaware that the members from the Phantom Fox Clan were on their way to the Duncan Mansion, let alone the fact that the branch leader who was a Celestial Lord had personally come as well. At this moment, David Bishop was lost in his thoughts. ‘Since Sia comprehended the law of space, she should be able to use the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity as well’! He intended to share the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity with her. After all, as long as one kept the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity close, one would be able to see the law of space’s demonstration in one’s dreams. After he tested to see if the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity would work on Sia since she was not human, he discovered that it worked for Sia. Therefore, he said, “Sia, since the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity can help you, you’ll sleep while I cultivate and vice versa.” “Alright, I’ll listen to you, Lord David.” Sia nodded obediently. ‘Sia is a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox; her innate talent and comprehension skills are incredibly high. With the Celestial Fruits given by the old man and the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity, her progress should be much faster than mine!’ David Bishop was certain of this. He was neither jealous nor disappointed. Instead, he was genuinely happy for Sia. Since they were together, it would only benefit him if Sia became stronger. ... While David Bishop and Sia took turns to cultivate and sleep, the Mansion Master of the Duncan Mansion received news that the Branch Leader of the Phantom Fox Clan was coming for a visit. The Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion had already told him he had killed two members from the Phantom Fox Clan so he was immediately alerted about the Branch Leader of the Phantom Fox Clan’s visit. Upon receiving this news, the old man, the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion, was slightly surprised. His eyes flashed as he muttered to himself, “It seems like that girl isn’t ordinary...” After a moment, the old man said to the mansion master, “Meet him and find out what brings him here.” “Alright.” ... When the Mansion Master of the Duncan Mansion finally met the Branch Leader of the Phantom Fox Clan, he did not beat around the bush and asked with a smile, “Branch Leader Erickson, may I know what brings you to the Duncan Mansion? If I’m not mistaken, this is your first visit to the Duncan Mansion.” Similarly, the Branch Leader of the Phantom Fox Clan did not beat around the bush and replied, “Mansion Master Wood, I came here because of our suspicion that two of our clan members were killed outside the Duncan Mansion’s estate. I wonder if you know anything about this matter?” “Is this true?” The mansion master feigned an astonished expression on his face. Then, he asked with a frown on his face, “But what were the members of the Phantom Fox Clan doing outside the Duncan Mansion’s estate? Were they helping the Blood Skull Gang?” “The Blood Skull Gang?” The branch leader’s brows rose. “There are three assassins from the Blood Skull Gang lingering outside our mansion’s estate. Is it possible that your men had a conflict with the assassins?” the mansion master speculated out loud.
