ICE & FIRE IMMORTALITY
BESIEGED

"really? If I may know, who reported it?" xiao Liu's father asked with a gaze filled with flashes of anger.

"Me!"

A moment later, a middle-aged man appeared from behind the crowd of protective spirit hall disciples who had come ambushing Xiao Liu's house.

"I testified. I saw a little fox lying comfortably in your house" he said.

"No ethics! Are you peering into someone else's house with your eyes?!" jolt Xiao Liu's father.

"please calm. What should be in question is not about the ethics of this person. You can discuss it after we discuss the main issue. For the sake of the peace of the City, we must ensure the truth. I assume your words just now were a confession from you. So, it turns out that you hid a fox spirit monster in your house. What's your purpose?" asked the head of the protective spirit hall with eyes connected.

His wild ambitions began to rise. The head of the protective spirit hall began to have a cunning stratagem in his mind. No need to doubt. His main goal was to snatch the fox spirit monster mentioned hidden inside the house where Xiao Liu lived.

In those days, the spirit masters of the protective spirit hall were vying to increase their cultivation by an easier path, namely killing spirit monsters and seizing the spiritual marbles contained within the body of spirit monsters.

If they were to increase their strength in that way, they would not have to bother training day and night cultivation, for the sake of strengthening the protective spirit accompanying their bodies. That was at that time, spirit monsters were almost extinct because they were continuously made by humans who trained in the cultivation of protective spirits.

Including that time, Xiao Liu who had been targeted by the people of the protective spirit hall, was merely to seize the spiritual marbles in his body in order to increase the cultivation of the Chief of the protective spirit hall who had the intention of wanting them. However, Xiao Liu's parents would not allow that to happen.

Beside his father who was stalling for time, Xiao Liu's mother took Xiao Liu away from Chang'an City and back into debt to pounce on Xiao Liu from the spirit masters of the protective spirit hall.

From the beginning Xiao Liu's parents had guessed that the purpose of the people from the protective spirit hall was to bring Xiao Liu his son, to be offered to them. But as parents, they will never let that happen. They would still protect Xiao Liu, even if they had to risk their lives.

That was the case because Xiao Liu's father did not allow the people of the protective spirit hall to target Xiao Liu and ransack his house, even though Xiao Liu had been taken away by his mother.

Xiao Liu's father did not want them to know that Xiao Liu was no longer in the house, and then sent some of the protective spirit hall disciples to chase after him, as the two had not long since fled.

To prevent that from happening, Xiao Liu's father fought desperately with the disciples of the protective spirit hall. Until in the end, his identity as a spirit monster that had turned into a human was revealed.

"Cannot be. Was he also a spirit monster? I've never heard of a spirit monster being able to transform into a human being either."

"We can't waste it. How many hundreds of years is it, until it can take the shape of a human body? He must have possessed a spiritual marble that was monstrous in strength? We must kill him and snatch the spiritual marbles inside his body."

"Humans are humans, spirit monsters are spirit monsters. Despite having taken on a human form, he was still a spirit monster. As with other spirit monsters, why are we reluctant to kill him? Pitying humans was only enforced by fellow humans, not for spirit monsters like him."

"True, if we don't kill him, I don't know what danger he'll cause. Realizing that there had been a spirit monster that turned into a human only gave me goosebumps. We have to destroy it and teach it a lesson. We have to prove that humans are the strongest creatures, which no creature can ever compete with, even if they are desperate to be like humans."

"Kill!!!"

The spirit masters mobilized their disciples to attack Xiao Liu's father whose identity as a nine-tailed fox had been revealed.

After they whispered to each other, they finally decided to defeat Xiao Liu's father. Of course defeating him was not an easy thing for the spirit masters from the protective spirit hall to do.

Xiao Liu's father is a nine-tailed fox spirit monster that has been hundreds of years old, precisely 900 years old and managed to grow 9 foxes. Defeating a spirit monster that had been cultivating for 900 years was certainly not to be underestimated and was considered easy.

Therefore, on the first attack launched by dozens of protective spirit hall disciples instantly failed. Dozens of disciples of the most important protective spirit hall were far away when they simultaneously attacked Xiao Liu's father.

Once an attack from Xiao Liu's father, made dozens of protective spirit hall disciples groan in pain and unable to rise. The spiritual power possessed by Xiao Liu's father certainly could not be underestimated, with the opponents of the dozens of protective spirit hall disciples who were just cultivating at the early and mid levels.

That made the spirit masters of the protective spirit hall restless, as the first attack was simply foiled. Only fretting, but their guts did not shrink, as their determination to take away Xiao Liu's father's life and seize the spiritual marbles of his body was extremely firm.

They would not give up so easily in his fight with the nine-tailed fox spirit monster that had aged 900 years.

"Damn! He managed to defeat all the disciples," said one spirit master in an annoyed tone.

"New first attack. We cannot give up on spirit monsters like him. We have killed many spirit monsters all along. I'm sure we can kill him too" he said.

"We can't just attack him. Each spirit monster had its own point of weakness. We must search for his weak point and concentrate the attack on that point" the other spirit masters appealed.

"really. What we should be looking for right now is his weak point. We have to strategize to find out the weak points. I'm going to attack his heart. You're the head, you're the tail, you're the legs and the hands, you're happy the belly, you're the tail. We all have to work together to defeat him at all costs."

"really. He had transformed into a human half-mosnter spirit. Don't let him lose control and destroy everything. Before that happens, we must kill him and dedicate it to the people of the City. We have to prove that even spirit monsters can not comply with the human lifestyle, even though they have succeeded in taking the form of a human being" he said.
