Chapter 101: The Bewildered Fox
While Lu Changjing was busy practicing, he didn't know that a level 20 fox had sneaked into the palace silently.

Although the imperial palace is the center of the Zhoutian Star Array and its strongest defense, this divine array has gone through many years and has developed many loopholes.

These loopholes can only be repaired by a divine formation master, but the Daning Dynasty has not produced a divine formation master for at least tens of thousands of years, and there are not enough resources and treasures to hire a divine formation master to repair the Zhoutian Star Array.

In addition, Ning Tianbao, Ning Zhongyu and others had previously made deals with demons and monsters, leaking some secrets of the Zhoutian Star Array.

This bewildered fox followed the loophole and, with the help of magic talismans and innate secret skills, entered the palace.

To be precise, this bewitching fox sneaked into the palace by following the scent of the soul-protecting fruit.

The soul-protecting fruit that Jin Longyu accidentally picked up was also discovered by the subordinates of the confusing fox, but at that time they were no match for Jin Longyu's subordinates and could only leave a tracking mark on it and then report it to the confusing fox.

Not long after Jin Longyu handed the Soul-Protecting Fruit to Lu Changjing, or to say, just a few days after Lu Changjing snatched the Soul-Protecting Fruit away, this strange fox traveled thousands of miles to Baiyujing and found itself near the imperial palace.

With the help of his innate secret skill, the soul-stealing technique, the bewitching fox easily detected the formations and defense loopholes in the palace, and then lurked near the imperial study, looking for an opportunity to take away the soul-protecting fruit.

Although they were not afraid of Cao Xiuyuan and the Jinwu Guards, they heard that Emperor Daning was only a mid-level master. Even if he had all kinds of trump cards, it would be difficult for him to be their opponent.

However, there are several great masters hiding in the palace, and they can rush here at the first time if there is any noise.

Even though it is a monster that is difficult to kill, if the Daning royal family unleashes the power of the Zhoutian Star Array and finds its object, it will not escape death.

Although the soul-protecting fruit is important, its life is more important, so we must come up with a foolproof plan.

Demons and monsters are called monsters, demons, ghosts and monsters respectively, and the most difficult ones are monsters.

The Bewitching Fox was a demon beast when it was alive. Its strength was already far superior to most human warriors of the same level, and was not much worse than the demons, ghosts, and monsters of the same level.

After the body died, the soul did not die, so it turned into a ghost. However, it soon found a special object to rely on, and accidentally merged with the object, eventually turning into a monster.

It spans the three realms of demon beasts, ghosts and monsters. It is extremely rare even among demons and monsters, and its strength can almost be said to be the best at the same level.

Looking at the huge imperial palace, apart from the Zhoutian Star Array, there is almost nothing to fear.

As a monster, as long as the object it entrusts to is not destroyed, the monster can be resurrected infinitely. It can be said to be immortal, and its lifespan is far longer than most creatures of the same level.

However, at the level of a Level 20 Monster King, the object of entrustment can only be about 100 meters away from itself, and cannot be too far away, otherwise the strength will plummet, and if it is farther away, it will be dragged back.

Therefore, the object that the confusing fox is hoping for is about a hundred meters around, and it was placed by it several meters underground. Although there is a magic talisman as a cover, the Zhoutian Star Array is a group of magic arrays, and its detection effect is absolutely outstanding, so it can easily find the location of the object.

The confused fox is not afraid of death, but is afraid that the object it is entrusted with will be destroyed, which is why it is so cautious.

After observing the area around the imperial study for a while, the bewildered fox finally found an opportunity to sneak in and seize the soul-protecting fruit, and maybe even get more good things from Emperor Daning.

Seeing Concubine Jin Xiao Yaoxin sneaking away through the small hole in the skylight, the fox followed silently, wanting to take her down with soul-stealing magic, so as to attach itself to her, sneak into the small hole in the skylight, and find an opportunity to take down Emperor Daning. But just as it was about to act, it suddenly found a talisman light rising from Xiao Yaoxin's body, and seemed to have noticed something, so it stopped vigilantly, and took out several talismans from its body with a flick of its hands.

Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from the talisman, even though it had already stepped half a foot into the realm of gods and demons, it still did not dare to withstand its edge.

So he retreated decisively and did not dare to attack this concubine in the harem again.

Xiao Yaoxin carefully sensed for a while and found nothing unusual. He said in surprise, "Could it be that the warning talisman was wrong? No one wanted to attack me just now."

He wandered around for a while and made sure there were no enemies before returning to Xianfu Palace.

The confused fox had to wait for the next opportunity. At the same time, he was also considering one thing: should he transform himself into the concubine and sneak into the imperial study?

Forget it, let’s wait a little longer. It doesn’t believe that there will be no other chance.

A few days later, the confused fox saw the figure of Imperial Noble Consort Rong Xiyao again, and she also quietly went to find Emperor Daning through the small hole in the skylight.

Although she was covered up when she came out, the fox had lived for hundreds of years, so how could he not see that there was a hint of lust between her brows? It was obvious that she had done something intimate with Emperor Daning.

So the bewitching fox followed again, wanting to see if it could capture Imperial Noble Consort Rong Xiyao, enter the Imperial Study by attaching itself to her, and find a chance to capture Emperor Daning.

"Om..."

But before it could get close to Rong Xiyao, a strange buzzing sound came from it. Rong Xiyao's face immediately changed: "Who is this monster who dares to trespass into the palace!"

"Whoosh..."

The confused fox was so scared that it quickly fled from here. It didn't expect that this person was even scarier. He could sense its presence from such a distance. What kind of treasure did he have on him? It must be at least a divine object.

Watching from afar as Rong Xiyao mobilized a number of Yulin Guards and Jinwu Guards to search the surroundings for any demons or monsters, the Bewildered Fox couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. It was almost discovered, but luckily it ran quite far away.

It was also thanks to those court people who made deals with demons and monsters that they actually leaked part of the formation diagram of the Zhoutian Star Fighting Array in exchange for various resources and treasures. They were really bold.

The Zhoutian Xingdou Great Array is the most famous first divine array in the Daning Dynasty. It is said that its complete state is a top-level divine array. Naturally, it is coveted by many demons and monsters who like arrays.

In order to exchange resources and treasures from these monsters, Jin Longyu, Cao Wenzhen and others decisively sold some of the drawings to these monsters. Such an action is almost the same as treason.

The Bewitching Fox was bought from another high-level demon king, and it didn't cost many spirit stones, because many demons and monsters already had this thing.

Some demons and monsters even thought that this was a trap set deliberately by the imperial court to lure them into the imperial palace full of countless treasures to their deaths.
