Xia, the leader of Xinyuehu Clan, was wearing fiery red brocade clothes. At this time, he looked at the two Taoists in the hall with a troubled expression.
"It's not that our clan refuses intentionally, but this matter is of great importance, and the ancestor of our clan is in retreat. This..."
"Okay! There's no need to refuse, Chief Xia. We really don't think we know that the old guy from your clan has been away all year round and doesn't dare to come back, let alone talk about clan affairs.
Last time you wanted to lead your clan to defect to the Qingqiu Fox, but you didn't know how to deal with that old guy from your clan!"
Yu Ding interrupted his speech rudely, with a rather dissatisfied tone, and stared at Chief Xia fiercely.
Xiaotian lay at his feet, grinning in a very cooperative manner and barking in a milky voice.
When Patriarch Xia's lie was exposed, he felt a little embarrassed on his face. He looked helplessly at the little fox lying in Mingyu's arms.
Why did this girl say everything? Otherwise, how would the other party know about such secrets?
The little fox buried its head deeply in Mingyu's arms, its snow-white fox fur glowing pink.
"Hey, fellow Taoist, how could you talk to Clan Chief Xia like that?" Mingyu scolded Yuding.
Then he looked at Xia, the leader of the Xinyue Fox clan, with a bright smile and a sunny face:
"Clan Chief Xia, the establishment of these twenty-eight constellations is in line with the way of heaven and beneficial to the wilderness. It is obvious that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages for both my heaven and your clan.
The key is to have the stars return to their correct positions and guard the four directions with all the four-dimensional stars. This is a real achievement. Heaven will surely reward you with luck and merit.
With this luck and merit, not only will your clan prosper from now on, it will at least reduce your clan's karma and allow the ancestor of your clan to return to his homeland."
The Xinyue Fox clan was involved in the previous calamity, and the accumulated karma was not small. The ancestors of the clan died one by one, and the only remaining ancestor did not dare to come back, for fear of his own rich karma of heaven and earth.
This force made the Xinyue Fox clan's already bad situation even worse.
Hearing this, Chief Xia released his clenched right hand hidden in his sleeve and let out a long sigh.
If the fox dies, he must be the first to die!
These five words are deeply ingrained in the blood of the fox clan in the world.
Although Chief Xia was resentful of the previous generation of ancestors who insisted on committing catastrophe, leading to the decline of the Xinyue Fox Clan.
But if we can welcome our ancestors back in an open and honest manner, even if they have run out of lights and oil, it will be much better to transform into their homeland than to perish outside.
Seeing that Chief Xia was still hesitant and Yu Ding was about to act like a villain again, Mingyu shook her head to stop him.
It's almost done.
"Chief Xia, think about it, if your clan joins my heaven, ranks among the twenty-eight constellations, assists the heaven to stabilize the four directions, and completes the number of four-dimensional stars.
Firstly, you can get the protection of my heavenly court, and secondly, you can continuously earn merits, and the worries about your family's karma and the difficulties of foreign enemies can be relieved.
Your ancestor who has run out of energy may not have the opportunity to continue on the road. By then, your clan may still have the power of heaven and earth to control the clan. So, why not do it?"
Mingyu tried her best to put on this red face.
Patriarch Xia remained silent.
After a long while, he said: "It's not just that I'm a poor Taoist who doesn't know how to commend me. What my fellow Taoist said is very clear. But to be honest, our clan made a mistake in the last calamity, which led to today's situation. Therefore, our clan does not want to be involved again."
Into the wild waves."
In a word, once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years.
The benefits of joining Heaven are real, but the dangers are also real.
Who in the wild didn't know that the Heavenly Court was blocked by the Immortal Court when it was first established. If there weren't many people who wanted to add to the Immortal Courtyard's blockage and conveniently pulled the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court into their hands, then the Heavenly Court would have been destroyed in one battle!
Moreover, the relationship between the Demon Clan and the Witch Clan is not very good, so most forces in the ancient world are not optimistic about the Demon Clan Heavenly Court.
When Yuding heard these remarks, he sneered and his words were full of disdain, "It turns out that fellow Taoist, as the leader of a clan, is so naive!
Not to mention the internal and external troubles of your clan, assuming that there are no such things, do you think that your clan can avoid all karmic disasters by sealing off the mountains and forests and hiding from the world?
Don’t want to get involved in the wild waves?
Fellow Taoists, please don’t forget that the world has never been peaceful for a long time, and you can’t escape the word ‘struggle’ no matter what!”
The great road is noble, these are the four words that Yuding has learned most deeply during his journey in the wilderness.
Fight with heaven, fight with earth, fight with all races, and fight with yourself.
If you don't fight, the road will be difficult to advance. You deserve to be left behind, you deserve to be beaten, and you deserve to be bruised and ashes!
Therefore, what the leader of the Xinyue Fox clan said made Yu Ding feel ridiculous and pathetic. His purpose of escaping was not wrong. In this era of great strife, there were many people who had this idea, but could they escape?
Without struggle, where would the three innate tribes come from? Without struggle, how can we call ourselves ancestors? Without struggle, how can the race last forever in the world?
Ancestor Hongjun didn’t fight, so why did he “lying high in the ninth heaven, knowing the truth on a futon”.
Mingyu touched the little fox in his arms, looked at Patriarch Xia seriously and said:
"Clan Chief Xia, I know that your clan does not want to participate in the dispute between heaven and earth, but as fellow Taoist Yuding said, there are some things that cannot be avoided just because you want to, otherwise there would be no one like me waiting to climb the mountain.

To put it bluntly, your clan’s current situation is unsustainable, and the consequences of defecting to other forces are definitely not good, and the Qingqiu Fox Clan’s rejection is a good example.”
Patriarch Xia looked very lonely when he heard this. He pursed his lips and said, "Is surrendering to Heaven the best outcome?"
Mingyu shrugged, "It's not the best, but it's definitely not bad. No matter in the short or long term, this is a win-win situation.
As for other risks, I don’t think Patriarch Xia just thinks about the gains and doesn’t want to pay.”
At the end of the sentence, Mingyu's eyes moved.
Patriarch Xia coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, "Of course not, of course not."
"So, what is Chief Xia thinking about?" Yu Ding raised his eyebrows, quite impatiently.
"Since what you two have said has reached this point, if I don't agree with it any more, it will be disrespectful." Chief Xia took out the clan seal and stamped it on the contract handed over by Mingyu.
Then he made an oath between heaven and earth on the spot and announced that the Xinyue Fox Clan would join the Demon Clan Heavenly Court.
"This is very good. Three thousand years later, I hope that my Taoist friend will come to heaven to report on his work as promised."
Mingyu put away the contract with a smile, and then patted the little fox on the head.
"Okay, little guy, I have to leave too. I hope we can meet again in three thousand years."
The little fox looked at Patriarch Xia quietly, and then leaned into Mingyu's arms, "Lord Lingzun, can I come with you?"
"Of course!" Mingyu ignored the dark face of Patriarch Xia.
This time the little guy has made a meritorious deed.
Seeing that they were about to leave, Chief Xia remembered something and hurriedly said: "What my fellow Taoist said about the twenty-eight constellations, I know that this clan is very suitable for the position of the seven constellations in the east."
"Oh? Which clan?"
"To the west of my clan, there is a clan name: Tail Fire Tiger!"
Mingyu nodded, "Great goodness, Pindao will mark your merits for you!"
"Don't dare." Chief Xia smiled broadly.
As the two sword lights soared into the sky, the smile on Chief Xia's face became even stronger.
"Old Huo, we agreed back then that we would share the blessings. You have to enjoy this feeling of overpowering a clan with swords!"
Thinking of the ferocious-looking Taoist who defeated his entire clan with one man and one sword, Chief Xia's heart ached.
