    After a dozen breaths, Zhang Yun Ting discovered the white-d woman seemed to have no intention of using a Celestial Weapon even though he had been fighting with all his might. Moreover, she did not use any technique that would betray her identity as a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox or techniques from the Phantom Fox n at all.


    Zhang Yun Ting narrowed his eyes as he thought to himself, ‘I have no choice but to use the Phantom Fox n’s techniques now. If she’s the Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox, my illusory technique won’t work on her. With this, I’ll be able to determine if she’s the Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox. Once I obtain the answer, I’ll leave the upper realm immediately and report to the branch leader.’


    In just a moment, the silhouette of a gigantic white fox appeared behind Zhang Yun Ting. The silhouette of his true form appeared as he prepared to cast the Phantom Fox n’s illusory technique.


    All of a sudden, a frosty voice rang in the air. “It seems like you’ve forgotten about me...”


    Zhang Yun Ting’s expression changed drastically. He knew the voice belonged to Duan Ling Tian, but he did not know when Duan Ling Tian had appeared behind him. Just as he was about to turn to face Duan Ling Tian, he discovered three spatial tears around him. He watched as three grey sword rays shrouded by golden mes shot out of the spatial tears toward him.


    At the same time, after Duan Ling Tian cast the Cross-Dimensional Profundity, he quickly cast the Distortion Profundity as well. Thebination of the two profundities from thew of space was so powerful that it easily breached the defensive barrier that Zhang Yun Ting had hastily erected.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    At this moment, Zhang Yun Ting discovered the white-d woman taking out a pair of rings before she stacked one on top of the other and threw them out at him.


    Chills ran up Zhang Yun Ting’s spine when he sensed the formidable aura from the pair of rings.


    “No!” Faced with attacks from both sides, Zhang Yun Ting did not even have time to crush his Identity Jade Token or use a Celestial Talisman to escape. Just like that, he was killed by Duan Ling Tian’s Cross-Dimensional sh Profundity and Huan’er’s Yin Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring.


    The Yin Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring was thebination of two Royal Grade Celestial Weapons: the Mystical Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring and the Mystical Yin Nine Water Chestnut Ring. Theirbined power was almostparable to an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon.


    Swoosh!


    As soon as Zhang Yun Ting died, Duan Ling Tian quickly teleported away so that Zhang Yun Ting’s points would go to Huan’er.


    It was just as Zhang Yun Ting had said; after Huan’er obtained his points, she was ranked 47th on the scoreboard with almost 500 points.


    “That Zhang Yun Ting really umted quite many points,” Duan Ling Tian said with a sigh as he checked the scoreboard through his Identity Jade Token.


    ...


    Since the changes in the rankings were immediate, those who kept a close watch on the scoreboard immediately discovered Huan’er had eliminated Zhang Yun Ting and had entered the top 50.


    “Heavens! That woman eliminated Zhang Yun Ting?”


    “Not only did she eliminate Jun Wang Chen, the core disciple of the Wind Thunder Dao Sect, but she also eliminated Jun Wang Chen? How’s she so strong?”


    “Rumor has it that she’s not even 100 years old?”


    “Jun Wang Chen isn’t a match for Zhang Yun Ting at all... I didn’t expect her to be capable of eliminating Zhang Yun Ting as well.”


    Many people in the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm were shocked when they found out Huan’er had eliminated Zhang Yun Ting.


    Meanwhile, Zhang Yun Ting’s son hurriedly brought his Spatial Ring out when he learned that his father had been eliminated by Huan’er. His eyes widened in disbelief when he saw his father’s Soul Pearl, which was kept in his Spatial Ring, had shattered.


    “Father!” he cried out in despair when he discovered his father had been killed by Huan’er.


    ...


    Soon enough, Zhang Dong Nan, the Branch Leader of the Phantom Fox n’s branch in the Southern Heaven Territory, received news of Zhang Yun Ting’s death as well.


    “A mere Six Combos Celestial King killed Elder Yun Ting? It seems like that woman hid her strength when she eliminated Jun Wang Chen.” Zhang Dong Nan’s expression was unsightly. Zhang Yun Ting, his right-hand man, had been killed by the woman whom they suspected was the Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox.


    “Elder Yun Ting and Elder Zhen Hai are the strongest members from the Phantom Fox n in the upper realm... Since she’s capable of killing Elder Yun Ting, I’m afraid Elder Zhen Hai isn’t a match for her as well...” Zhang Dong Nan’s frown deepened as he continued muttering to himself. This matter was trickier than he had expected.


    “I’ll report this matter to the main n and request them to send their powerful Ten Directions Celestial Kings to deal with this matter. The Ten Directions Celestial Kings in the main n are much stronger than the Ten Directions Celestial Kings in the Southern Heaven Territory. Even the pride of the 10,000 Battles Heaven Sect isn’t a match for the Ten Directions Celestial Kings from the main n....”


    After Zhang Dong Nan made up his mind, he rose to his feet and brought out a Celestial Talisman that shone with golden light. He hurriedly sent a message using the Celestial Talisman.


    The Celestial Talisman Zhang Dong Nan used was not an ordinary Celestial Talisman. Its range was not limited to the Southern Heaven Territory; it was capable of traveling through the Riot Star Sea between Devata Realms and their territories.


    ...


    The Seven Upper Province, as its name suggested, consisted of seven territories. It held power over ordinary territories like the Southern Heaven Territory.


    Ordinary territories were governed by titled Celestial Lords, but the seven territories in the Seven Upper Province were governed by titled Celestial Emperors. These titled Celestial Emperors were widely renowned in the Spirit Overarching Heaven.


    There were many ordinary territories like the Southern Heaven Territory in the Spirit Overarching Heaven, but there were only seven territories simr to the Seven Upper Province.


    The Phantom Fox n was one of thergest and most powerful forces in the Heaven Territory, which was part of the Seven Upper Province. Although there were no titled Celestial Emperors in the n, the n had many ordinary Celestial Emperors. They controlled many King Grade Celestial Crystal veins as well. The n’s status in the Heaven Territory wasparable to the status of the Ten Major ns and Top Five Sects in the Southern Heaven Territory.


    ...


    In the Phantom Fox n in the Seven Upper Province’s Heaven Territory.


    At this moment, a high-ranking official from the Zhang n in the Phantom Fox n finally received Zhang Dong Nan’s message.


    He furrowed his brows as he muttered to himself, “The Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox might be in the Southern Heaven Territory? What’s Zhang Dong Nan doing? What’s the point of informing me about this matter if he’s not certain...”


    After listening to the remaining half of the message, he muttered to himself in shock, “One of the elders in our branch n was killed in the upper realm even though he was a Ten Directions Celestial King who hadprehended nine profundities from thew of fire? Moreover, he had alsoprehended the Burning Profundity to the initial stage. How could a woman who’s only a Six Combos Celestial King kill a Ten Directions Celestial King? Moreover, she’s not even 100 years old. No wonder Zhang Dong Nan suspects she’s the Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox!”


    After that, the high-ranking official hurried out to look for the Grand Elder of the Zhang n in the Phantom Fox n to inform him of this matter.


    After listening to Zhang Dong Nan’s message, the grand elder felt it was only natural for Zhang Dong Nan to be suspicious. “Even the previous Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox wasn’t as monstrous as her... In just thirty years, she became a Six Combos Celestial King from a Ten Directions Celestial Duke. Moreover, she evenprehended such an extraordinaryw...”


    After a brief pause, the grand elder continued to say, “That woman is, indeed, very suspicious. I’ll send Zhang Jin Yi to the upper realm to test that woman. Once we confirm she’s the Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox, I’ll send a titled Celestial Lord to bring her back!”


    The high-ranking official was rather shocked that the Grand Elder of the Zhang n in the Phantom Fox n decided to send Zhang Jin Yin to the Southern Heaven Territory.


    Zhang Jin Yin was one of the three strongest Ten Directions Celestial Kings in the Zhang n. He hadprehended four profundities from thew of metal to the initial stage. Apart from that, he was also a direct descendant of the Phantom Fox’s Zhang n, therefore, his illusory techniques were far superiorpared to those in the branch ns. His innate talents and special techniques were exclusive only to pureblood Phantoms Foxes. A person like him was undoubtedly invincible among those below the Celestial Lord stage in the Southern Heaven Territory.


    ...


    “The grand elder wants me to go to the Southern Heaven Territory to test the woman who’s suspected to be the Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox?”


    Zhang Jin Yi was a tall and aloof man dressed in green robes. He furrowed his brows slightly when he received the order from the Grand Elder of the Zhang n in the Phantom Fox n.


    He did not waste time and made his way to the Transporting Formation in the Phantom Fox n since he could not cross the Riot Star Sea. Moreover, he would arrive in the Southern Heaven Territory in no time at all if he used a Transporting Formation.


    After he stepped into the Transporting Formation, his eyes shed with killing intent as he muttered under his breath, “I hope that woman is the Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox. Otherwise, I won’t let her go for wasting my time!”
