Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor

Chapter 1289 - 116: Idol of Faith

The Great Witch Doctor returned to the Witch Doctor Tower. On the top floor, Yu Shang was there in seclusion, preparing one last time before heading south away from Hu Capital.

When Hu Linglong barged in earlier, Yu Shang was already aware but couldn’t be bothered to deal with that foolish woman, so she sent the Great Witch Doctor to handle Hu Linglong.

However, Yu Shang did not know exactly how the Great Witch Doctor arranged it.

On the top floor of the Witch Doctor Tower, Yu Shang had a stern expression. She secluded herself for several days, but made no progress at all.

Although both granted the Seven-tailed Heavenly Fox Inheritance, why couldn’t she grasp the Seven-tailed Inheritance to become a Seven-tailed Heavenly Fox?

The Heavenly Fox Inheritance Pillar, obtained from the Ancient Sealing, still stood before Yu Shang.

It had been two months, yet Yu Shang couldn’t fully comprehend the Seven-tailed Heavenly Fox Inheritance, which was why she had become more irritable by the day recently.

That day, at the Heavenly Fox Temple, after Yun Sheng disrupted her plans, Yu Shang’s mind became a mess.

Damn Yun Sheng, not only did she not die, but she also gained a blessing in disguise, obtaining the Beast King Roar from the Ancient Sealing and instantly achieving the Seven-tailed Heavenly Fox.

Seven tails, why could an ordinary hybrid possess the bloodline of seven tails?

Why could Yun Sheng learn the Beast King Roar in two months, while she couldn’t comprehend her Seven-tailed Inheritance?

"Master Yu Shang, Hu Linglong has been dismissed." The Great Witch Doctor saluted, "You have been restless for several days. Tomorrow, you will depart for the south, please stay calm."

"How do you expect me to stay calm? That mongrel’s talent is truly demonic. I can’t lose to her." Yu Shang said, her gaze turning to a corner.

In the corner, a person was curled up.

That person was none other than the Sky Fox Qin Yue, who Yu Shang had "killed" earlier.

That day, at the Heavenly Fox Temple, Yu Shang took action first to conceal her collusion with Qin Yue by "killing" her.

However, Qin Yue still had some value to Yu Shang, so she and the Great Witch Doctor deceived the other Sky Fox Tribe members.

Afterward, the Great Witch Doctor brought Qin Yue back to the Witch Doctor Tower.

After being brought back, Qin Yue was very fearful. She didn’t know what Yu Shang intended for her.

Yu Shang was vicious and capricious, and even more terrifying, she was the first Heavenly Fox Saintess of the Sky Fox Tribe in another identity.

Thinking of Yu Shang as someone resurrected after death, Qin Yue shivered with goosebumps.

"Qin Yue, I ask you, did you truly devour the hearts of Hua Yanluo and Feng Lian?" Yu Shang stared at her with a gaze that frightened Qin Yue.

"Y-yes, Master Yu Shang. Qin Yue never dared again, I was momentarily possessed to do such a thing." Qin Yue dared not act impudently in front of Yu Shang and the Great Witch Doctor.

"Heh, then say, if I devour your heart, will my strength increase greatly too?" Yu Shang, who had died once, was extremely bold. She initially didn’t want to do such a thing as devouring a clanmate’s heart.

But now Yun Sheng’s strength was growing rapidly, and beside her, there was also a mysterious little girl, the pressure on Yu Shang doubled.

"Master Yu Shang, please spare me, Qin Yue doesn’t know, knows nothing." Qin Yue, watching Yu Shang approaching step by step, turned pale with fright.

She suddenly realized that Yu Shang saved her life initially, likely just to devour her heart.

But it was too late for everything.

When Yu Shang’s claw pierced Qin Yue’s chest, Qin Yue’s face only had regret. If she had known sooner, she wouldn’t have... This was all retribution.

Yu Shang’s fox claw groped around Qin Yue’s chest, emitting nauseating sounds of flesh and blood. After a while, three hearts appeared in Yu Shang’s hand.

"Haha, truly three hearts filled with energy." Yu Shang let out a chilling laugh, opened her mouth, and swallowed all three Heavenly Fox Candidate Saintess hearts.

As the bloody taste filled her mouth, Yu Shang felt a terrifying power surging within her.

Her entire body trembled, and her eyes turned blood-red.

"So this is the power gained after devouring hearts? Endless power." Yu Shang extended her hand, and the Heavenly Fox Inheritance Pillar, always standing by her side, flew into her hand.

As the terrifying power coursed through Yu Shang’s body, transmission power continuously poured into her body from the Heavenly Fox Inheritance Pillar. Her face constantly transformed under the effects of the power and heart energies.

Three days after the Holy Daughter ceremony, Yun Sheng and Yu Shang both received a notice from Hu Qianqiu to head to the Heavenly Fox Temple.

"Both of you carry the burden of the Heavenly Fox Saintess. Recently, some events occurred both in the south and north of the Sky Fox Tribe, causing unease among the Heavenly Fox People. I hope you two can rush to the site to replace the Clan Leader and Elder Council, reassure the people, and restore their confidence." Having said this, Hu Qianqiu took out two Heavenly Fox statues and handed them to Yun Sheng and Yu Shang.

"These are faith statues for you in the coming days,"

"These things are used to gather the Power of Faith?" Yun Sheng asked, looking at the Heavenly Fox statue in her hand.

It was a Heavenly Fox statue sculpted from an unknown material that resembled the one in the Heavenly Fox Temple, only significantly smaller in size.

"Yes, the faith statues are the most fundamental objects for each Eight Desolates Tribe, invaluable. Take the statues to the south and north of the Sky Fox Tribe, and whoever collects the most Power of Faith will win. Conversely, if you fail to gain the support of the people, the faith statue will break." Hu Qianqiu stated earnestly.

Do these things break?

Yun Sheng, suspicious, looked at the statue in her hand.

"I’ve said all I needed to. Please, both of you, set out as soon as possible." Hu Qianqiu glanced at Yun Sheng and Yu Shang. He was also eager to know who would eventually become the Sky Fox Tribe’s Saintess.

"Yu Shang will certainly not disappoint the Clan Leader’s trust," Yu Shang said, giving a salute.

"I’ll do my best," Yun Sheng, unsure of how to collect the Power of Faith, could only reluctantly accept the little thing.

Both walked out of the Heavenly Fox Temple together.

"Yun Sheng, I’m telling you, you won’t beat me." Yu Shang suddenly called out to Yun Sheng.

"I’ll return that sentence to you verbatim. Yu Shang, in the Ancient Sealing, you hit me a total of one hundred and nine times. I’ll definitely return them to you exactly as they were." Yun Sheng replied with a cold smile.

"Don’t be cocky. Just because you’re a Seven-tailed Heavenly Fox doesn’t mean you’re the only one. I certainly won’t lose this competition," Yu Shang said with a cold huff.

Suddenly, she released the Heavenly Fox Power, and seven fox tails grew from her back.

Yu Shang had also become a Seven-tailed Heavenly Fox.
