The moment the Bronze Seedling pierced through the jade pendant, a violent shudder ran through Su Jiuli’s spine. A tender shoot of her thirteenth tail bone erupted from her tailbone, and the bronze bell hanging from its tip suddenly chimed. The sonic waves rippled across the path of Star Sand, revealing a blood-red altar deep within the forbidden grounds of Qingqiu. At the center of the altar, surrounded by nine Celestial Fox steles, three hundred bronze human figurines were casting charred fox tails into a blood-fire. Pulsing within the heart of the flames was the shattered, remnant soul of Lin Xuan!
"So... you are the Tribulation Feeders!"
Su Jiuli shattered the Star Sand underfoot, her fox tails whipping up a freezing current from the depths of the abyss. As the cold air touched the edge of the altar, starlight burst from the hollow eye sockets of the figurines. The Fox Tail Bones in their hands transformed into bronze chains, lashing out to strangle her. Amidst the clashing of chain links, she heard the lingering voice of Lu Xiaopang laughing in her ear: "Senior Sister, did you know that these fox tails are all the remains of your past lives?"
