Austin was trying to subdue those beasts. He soon found out that the effort was consuming some of his
spiritual sense when he cast the Beast-subduing Skill to form the spiritual sense array.
But for Austin, the loss of the spiritual sense to form the array was nothing compared to the powerful
spiritual sense pool he had within him.
In addition to that, the Soul-warming Bead embedded in his Soul Sea had been nourishing his spiritual
sense and enriching it all the time. Due to this, each time there was a consumption of his spiritual
sense, it would be replenished rapidly and that prepared him for the next battle.
Most important of all, there was one thing about this Beast-subduing Skill that made Austin very happy.
The reason of his joy was that after invading a beast's soul by using the spiritual sense array formed by
Beast-subduing Skill and getting the beast under control, even if the very beast was hunted down or
killed in a battle later, Austin's spiritual sense would hardly be affected.
The Flame Emperor once told him that, there were many controlling spiritual sense martial arts skills,
such as using spiritual sense to control dummies and beasts or forming a delusional body. And they all
shared one common weakness. It was that when the dummies and beasts or the delusional bodies
were under attack or killed, the spiritual senses of the hosts that cast the controlling skills would be
injured at the same time.
Being unlike those skills, the Beast-subduing Skill was absolutely safe for Austin if he were to cast
spiritual sense control over the beasts. He would never have to worry about any latent danger if they
were killed.
The Flame Emperor also told him that the Beast-subduing Skill was serendipitously discovered by him
in ancient antiquity. Although it had been ages since it was first created, the power it contained was far
beyond the modern controlling spiritual sense marital arts skills.
This was the actual reason why Austin dared to subdue a considerable number of beasts just by
himself.
Taking ten sixth-grade diabolic beasts with him, Austin was just about to return to the valley where
Violet was staying.
Suddenly, an anxious voice was transmitted to him through his mind.
Austin's face turned pale.
It was Violet calling for help. Since the distance wasn't much, they were able to maintain the ability to
connect through their minds.
'Damn! Violet is in danger!'
After getting to know the whole story from Violet through their mind communication, a coldness took
over Austin's face. 'These people really have no idea about what situation they are getting into and
whom they are provoking. I will teach them how to spell the word DEATH!' Austin thought to himself
fiercely.
Austin quickly took the beast-subduing bag off his waist and put all the ten sixth-grade diabolic beasts
into the beast-subduing bag.
The beast-subduing bag was given to Austin by the Flame Emperor when they were in the Mysterious
Nether World. According to him, beast-subduing bag was a very cheap and commonly used gear from
where he came from—the Divine Continent.
But the one which the Flame Emperor gave to Austin was a good quality bag. The storage capacity
was much more than others and allowed him to hold a great number of beasts along with the tenth-
level ancient evil ape that was captured in the Mysterious Nether World.
Right after he put all the beasts inside the bag, he immediately performed the Wind-commanding Skill
and quickly set out to the valley where Violet was trapped. He ran so fast that his shadow could barely
catch up with him. . . .
Deep in the valley, the fresh new grass and the pink blossom of wild flowers swayed under the shining
sun and gentle wind. Contrary to the pleasant view, a group of demonic foxes were surrounded by a
large crowd of humans in an open field. The smell of danger was prevalent in the air.
"Hey! I can't believe my eyes. Prior to today, I thought the nine-tail demon fox was just a tale. What a
lucky day for us! What a lucky day for me!" A greedy voice was heard from the crowd.
"Yeah. It's unbelievable. I heard that the nine-tail demon fox was a special bloodline which inherited
from the fox origins in the antiquity era. They are very rare and their potential growth is remarkable. If I
can subdue one of them and become their sire, I believe, it will be a huge add-on to my strength!"
Another man responded.
Discussions and small talks took place, all at once among those people.
They wanted to capture all the demonic foxes and put them to their own use.
Meanwhile in the center of the open field, a young man dressed completely in black was staring at the
trapped demonic foxes. His eyes seemed to be on fire.
It was clear that the young man was not an ordinary person as he was surrounded by the group of
people. They stood around him but all their positions were in a tacit protection array, ensuring that no
one could get near the young man.
"Ha-ha! Young master, except for the nine tail demon fox, other demonic foxes are also a rare breed of
fox. If we can capture them, they will have a lot to offer us.
Besides, I don't know if you've heard of this or not. It is well-known that demonic foxes are far better
than human women in bed. If you have them, your night will be long and interesting."
Such despicable words were being spoken by a man standing right beside the young master. He slid
his finger down his weird-looking mustache while he spoke to the young man with a lewd snicker.
"Ha-ha. If that's the case, we better hurry! Come on, try to subdue and capture all the demonic foxes
and save that nine tail demon fox for me!
Except for that nine tail one, you can do whatever you want with the rest of the foxes."
The young master dressed in black laughed arrogantly and ordered the rest of his men to attack.
"Thank you for your kindness, young master!" All the men shouted in unison.
"Damn! I have already got bored with human women. I think these little foxes can change it up a little
bit on my bed. Ha-ha..."
"You are right, brother. It has been a long time since we entered this forest and I really crave for a
woman right now. These foxes have been sent to us at the right time."
Right after the young master stopped speaking, all eyes there were filled with lust and greed.
All the men were teasing and got eager to get their hands on their prey.
Surprisingly there were two elders standing beside the young master. They remained silent. Both of
them were smiling lightly at the young man.
If looked closely, their faces had a hint of surprise under their smiles whenever they laid their eyes on
the demonic foxes trapped by the crowd.
Both of them were probably astonished at the fact that the nine tail demon fox truly existed. They knew
how rare that species was and couldn't resist the thought of possessing one themselves.
"Okay, my brave men! Let's cut the bullshit. It's time to begin the hunt."
The young master ordered the crowd hastily.
"Yes, young master!"
After receiving the order from the young man, all the men who had circled the foxes responded to his
call in a determined voice. With their vital energy surging around, a sheet-sized blood-red thin web
appeared on each of their hands. They didn't hesitate a second and threw the thin web onto the
demonic foxes to capture them all at once.
Violet was one of the foxes who got trapped.
Some time ago, she was playing with a couple of her fox friends in the valley. However, she and her
friends didn't know what danger awaited them. As soon as they reached near the open field, these
people jumped out and trapped them in a circle. Knowing that they were different from the ordinary
demonic beasts—they were precious demonic foxes—the men became greedy and flirtatious towards
them.
From the beginning, Violet always chose not to show her human form. One major reason was that
during a battle she was quite stronger in her original fox form than in human form. The other reason
was her prettiness in human form. She knew that it would bring her more attention from these greedy
and lustful men.
Standing with the other foxes and looking around, Violet tried to have a clear view of the situation. After
scanning through the crowd, she could feel that some men possessed a strong cultivation base and
were rich in power, especially the two elders standing right beside the young man in black. Just looking
at them sent a chill down her spine and her heartbeat raced faster than the normal pace.
Being trapped, she knew it immediately that it was impossible for her to escape the crowd unharmed
and on her own. She was no match for those men. And she knew things would become worse if the
two strong elders joined the men. Even if she was brave enough to pick a fight with them, she wouldn't
be able to survive after the first strike.
She saw that there was no way to escape from the impending doom. Instantly, she decided to called
Austin for help using their mind communication.
Seeing crowd getting restless and ready to attack, Violet raised up her fore-leg. A gigantic black fox
claw was formed at the same time. It fell down from the sky so fast that human eyes could barely catch
it. It moved like thunder towards the people gathered around them and struck down the men who were
holding on to the thin web. Dancing in the air, the fox claw picked its targets. Two unlucky men were
torn apart instantly.
