Chapter 367 - Extraction Successful

In the sky, the nine tails that were wrapping around the Void Devouring Beast suddenly tightened. A loud boom followed, and all the gray space instantly collapsed. An extremely powerful fluctuation spread out at lightning speed.

Wherever the fluctuation touched, the void would distort and collapse. Fortunately, the barrier of the spirit boat was supported by Little Nine’s energy, so it was able to survive. Otherwise, with the current defensive level of the barrier, it would have instantly collapsed into nothingness. It would not even have time for the people present to make any effective response.

Even with Little Nine’s support, under the impact, the surface of the barrier still rippled, dazzling everyone. One reason was that they could not see what was happening outside.

At this moment, a wisp of tiny gray space quietly left the center of the explosion and darted into the demon beast space on Gu Xi’s body at an extremely fast speed.

The speed was so fast that even the ancient beast that was close by did not notice it at all.

Gu Xi’s expression froze, and he did not show any abnormalities.

The aftermath of the explosion came and went quickly. In just a few breaths’ time, the fluctuations had completely disappeared.

There was a huge void crack in the sky that could not be healed, and the Void Devouring Beast’s figure had long disappeared.

“That beast is dead?” Elder Gu used his spiritual sense to check, but he did not find any traces.

“It took advantage of the chaos to escape.” At this moment, Little Nine suddenly replied.

She slowly retracted the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox’s true form. After a red flash, she once again transformed into the graceful woman from before.

Upon hearing Little Nine’s explanation, although Elder Gu was somewhat puzzled, he did not want to care too much at this moment. Regardless of whether the Void Devouring Beast had escaped or died, they were still lucky to have survived.

“This Lady, thank you for helping us this time.” Elder Gu slightly bowed to Little Nine, his words filled with sincere gratitude.

Although his cultivation realm was above Little Nine’s, he naturally had to thank her for receiving such a great favor. Moreover, as a divine beast, the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox’s lifespan was far above that of a human. In terms of seniority, it was not too much for him to call Little Nine ‘Ancestor’.

Beside him, Qing Zhu also bowed slightly to express her gratitude. Yun Zhiyi could only reluctantly nod at Little Nine. After all, it was already quite difficult for him to do this in his current state.

On the other hand, Song Qingluan had been in a state of unconsciousness ever since the appearance of the Void Devouring Beast. Fortunately, she was protected by Gu Xi and the others and was able to survive here.

“May I know how to address you, Miss?” Looking at Little Nine in front of him, Eld Gu asked again.

Clearly, he was extremely interested in Little Nine’s identity.

“Just call me Little Nine.” Little Nine nodded indifferently. Seeing that Elder Gu still had something to say, she hurriedly continued, “It’s best to leave this Void Tunnel as soon as possible. Just now, we caused too much of a disturbance. It’s hard to guarantee that we won’t attract other Void Devouring Beasts.”

Once these words were said, Elder Gu could only helplessly swallow the words that were about to come out of his mouth. Immediately after, he nodded with a grave expression and began to control the spirit boat to speed up.

If another Void Devouring Beast really appeared, it was likely that their group would not have such good luck at that time. At that time, even if Little Nine used all of her strength, she might not be able to bring the group out unscathed.

“Everyone should first recover in case anything unexpected happens.”

Gu Xi also hurriedly agreed. After which, he carried Song Qingluan by her waist and found a guest room that was not badly damaged and placed her in it.

After checking and finding that Song Qingluan did not suffer any substantial injuries, Gu Xi heaved a sigh of relief and immediately turned to leave.

In another guest room.

“If you didn’t wake up in time this time, I’m afraid that we would have already become food for the Void Devouring Beast.”

On the bed, Gu Xi sat cross-legged. His gaze sized up Little Nine who was sitting on the chair in front of him. Until now, when he recalled the Void Devouring Beast, he still felt some lingering fear.

Little Nine curled his lips and glanced at Gu Xi strangely, “Are you thanking me? If it wasn’t for you back then, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have gotten to where I am today.”

Hearing this, Gu Xi could not help but laugh.

Indeed, if it was not for him purifying the divine beast bloodline hidden in Little Nine’s body back then, Little Nine would probably be just an ordinary demon beast now.

The man and the beast had known each other for a long time and had long become the most important part of each other. It was indeed strange to say these words of gratitude.

“Speaking of which, why did you wake up at such a timely time?” Gu Xi smiled slightly. There was undisguised doubt in his eyes.

Little Nine sighed helplessly and explained, “It was all because of the contract between the two of us. If I did not feel that you were in a life and death situation, I’m afraid that my awakening would have been delayed for a period of time. Even now, I still have some of the pure spiritual energy of the ancient Xuanming beast in my body that I haven’t absorbed. If I can absorb all of it, it shouldn’t be a problem for me to break through to the Great Saint stage.”

Hearing this, Gu Xi could only smile awkwardly. At the same time, he secretly swore in his heart that he would never make any big movements in the Void Tunnel in the future, lest unnecessary trouble would come knocking on his door again.

“But speaking of which, after not seeing you for a while, Master, you’ve become even more handsome,” the two of them were silent for a moment before Little Nine suddenly smiled charmingly and said.

Gu Xi was slightly stunned. He immediately explained the change in his appearance because he had cultivated a body refining technique. After which, he carefully sized up the current Little Nine. He clicked his tongue and praised, “Our Little Nine is becoming more and more beautiful now.”

After this period of deep sleep, Little Nine’s appearance could be said to have changed quite a lot. Compared to before, both her figure and appearance had risen by more than one level, she looked even more charming.

Gu Xi had no doubt that if this was in the outside world, she would definitely be extremely charming. Most importantly, Little Nine’s fox-like eyes, no man could resist the feeling. With just a single glance, she could captivate one’s soul.

“Is that so?” Upon hearing Gu Xi’s praise, Little Nine could not help but straighten her plump chest. Her entire body was brimming with pride.

As a descendant of the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox and a female fox, Little Nine was naturally extremely concerned about her appearance.

“Alright, alright. Help me protect her. I’ll recover my spiritual energy first.”

Looking at Little Nine who was ‘flirting’ in front of him, Gu Xi could only hurriedly close him eyes and speak somewhat helplessly.
