At the very last moment before leaving the Dongling Continent, she looked back at its vast rivers and mountains. In a certain corner of this continent lay the person she cared for most in the world.
She knew they wouldn't harm Xiaoke, because Xiaoke possessed the very bloodline of the nine-tailed fox they were searching for. But she also knew what kind of place the Spirit Fox Clan was; she was unwilling to let Xiaoke return to a world where she would have to bear everything that a girl of her age should never have to face.
The Spirit Fox Clan resided in the Upper Three Heavens, and crossing realms to search for someone required a tremendous amount of energy—something only the High Priestess of the entire clan could accomplish. As long as she left and brought back the news of Xiaoke's death, they would no longer cast their gaze into this remote and desolate realm. That way, Xiaoke might be able to live out her days in peace and happiness within this lesser world.
