Faced with the temptation of becoming the war chief of the Borisin.
Feixiao had only one response!
Shatter the illusion!
Seeing this illusion shattered.
All players from Yaoqing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief!
Of course, they believed in General Tianji!
But they were truly afraid!
The slightest mistake.
Would make all the difference!
One could only say that Hoolay was really too cunning!
Pulling this stunt!
Even more thrilling than the previous battles!
Yet.
Even after shattering these illusions.
Hoolay's voice still did not disappear.
"Your physician, Jiaoqiu, served you so loyally, willing to die to cure your Crimson Moon madness. I told him that the path to salvation lies in my hands."
"With just a nod from you, you will awaken from this nightmare of madness brought by the Crimson Moon, your body renewed. From then on, madness will no longer plague you, doubt will be but a speck of dust brushed from your heart, and fear will vanish."
"Is this the path you've prepared for me... to become another version of you?" Feixiao asked.
"Exactly, for you and I are so alike. We are both monsters born for battle and destined to die in it."
Feixiao laughed coldly.
"...The answer goes without saying."
"I refuse."
A phantom of Hoolay, wreathed in black mist, appeared.
He said indifferently, "I told you, foxian or Borisin is just a name. Whoever you wish to be, you can be. Whatever you wish to do, you can do."
"Accept all this, and the Borisin will bow to you. Destroy them, leaving no trace, or civilize them to become vassals of the Xianzhou... It's all up to you."
"Your name will be engraved in the annals of the Xianzhou, or on the List of Archenemies, all at your discretion."
...
"Sounds... not bad?"
"Wow, if it were me, I'd accept!"
"I really didn't expect Hoolay to say these things, I've never heard any villain say something like this in such a situation!"
"Willing to do anything for the sake of inheritance."
"My body is not worth mourning, my people are insignificant... Only this inheritance is worth my repeated pleas."
"With that, Feixiao has mastered this power, gained Crimson Moon madness without side effects... Damn! Isn't that truly invincible!?"
"Emanator of The Hunt + Emanator of Mercy, I get it, Hoolay wants Feixiao to become the new SP form!"
...
Faced with such provocative words.
Feixiao still resolutely shook her head.
"You don't understand, Hoolay, you simply don't understand what I truly desire."
"When I was just a child, to escape the whips and shackles of the wolf's head, my hands were first stained with blood."
As Feixiao spoke.
The scene shifted.
Under the light of a shooting star.
Young Feixiao stood on a battlefield.
Pointing at the shooting star in the sky.
"Ningli, don't stop, keep running...!" Young Feixiao urged.
"I can't run anymore... Saran, are they catching up?"
Feixiao, breathing heavily, said, "They're still there, don't stop! Ningli, look up, look at the light in the sky!"
"That's a shooting star! The shooting star is shining on us, make a wish to it, and we can gain freedom!"
"All of us can escape! We will gain freedom, and then share it with more of our Kulu brothers and sisters!"
"So, let's go! We can escape!"
"Ningli! Run with me!"
From the heavy darkness behind, came the howls of fierce wolves and beasts.
Present-day Feixiao sighed, "We ran and ran, using all our strength, not knowing where we were heading."
"I escaped the pursuit of the hunting pack, and met a woman who could fly... a Cloud Knight."
"I guess you kept your promise," Hoolay chimed in.
"Unfortunately, when I brought her back to our homeland, hoping to liberate our Kulu companions, all I saw was an unfathomable chasm left on the ground."
Hearing this.
Hoolay let out a mocking laugh.
"Hahaha..."
"The light of the demonic bow... a calamitous star falls, and all things perish.
Feixiao's tone also became desolate.
"In the years that followed, my Cloud Knight comrades and I chased the trajectory of that light countless times, only to watch it fall again and again."
"Gradually, I came to understand that it was never a shooting star carrying wishes. The appearance of each light arrow meant an irredeemable world and the annihilation of countless lives."
"I prayed to the god of the celestial bow, asking Him to never let me witness a shooting star fall again."
"But... the god never answered me."
...
"So... Feixiao's childhood companions also died under the light arrows of the Emperor's Bow..."
"Sigh, this..."
"That is the arrow of hope, and also the arrow of despair."
"The appearance of a shooting star means things are beyond redemption, and no one wishes for that."
"The previous head of the Alchemy Commission defected because of this."
"Both Yukong and Feixiao have shown confusion towards the light arrows of The Hunt..."
"This rhythm... it's not quite right!"
"Why does it feel like the more you talk, the more you two seem to be on the same wavelength?"
...
The Xianzhou Alliance.
Although Hua stood against the majority.
Choosing to believe in Feixiao.
At this point in the story.
Some of the old-timers began to frown again.
Starting to mutter!
"Hmph..."
"As expected..."
"Not good!"
"General Tianji's thoughts are quite dangerous."
"If she harbors doubts about the light arrows of the Emperor's Bow, she may no longer be fit for the position of General of Yaoging."
"Feixiao, it seems, has already strayed from the Path of The Hunt..."
Despite this.
Hua remained silent.
Quietly observing Feixiao's performance in the unfolding story.
Hoolay chimed in with a "profound" tone, "Indeed, They never respond, leaving us to slaughter each other in this world. That is the reason we have been fighting to this day."
"If the bloodless, tearless, and aloof deities do not heed the prayers of mortals, then we must fight for our own desires!"
"Do you understand now, Saran... the similarities between you and me are far greater than you think."
Hoolay even began to address Feixiao by her real name.
It gave off a sense of mutual respect born from conflict!
And this,
further convinced many of the old-timers in the alliance of their previous thoughts!
They prepared to petition once again.
To have the marshal issue the order.
While Feixiao is still in Luofu, seize the opportunity to control her!
"You are a beast born for battle, destined to die in battle!" Hoolay stared at Feixiao and said.
Feixiao closed her eyes.
As if tired, compromised, and resigned.
"Perhaps."
A moment later.
She then asked, "So, what is the desire you fight for, Hoolay?"
"To make the stars in the sky the pastures for the Borisin to herd."
"And you, Saran?"
Feixiao turned around.
Word by word, she answered:
"So that one day, no one will witness a falling star… so that one more person can live and return to Yaoqing with me."
Hearing this.
Hoolay let out a long sigh.
"Would you rather resist what you are meant to become, falling from a free wolf to a domesticated fox, just for… one more person?"
"Then as you wish! I will feed on your fear and doubt, seize you, devour you—I will replace you… and become Feixiao!"
Hoolay grew more and more agitated.
Revealing a hint of hysterical madness.
But Feixiao simply turned her head.
And said calmly, "We are so alike, monsters born for battle, destined to die in battle… You are absolutely right, Hoolay."
"So, pray to the heavens—though They never respond. May the Arrows of The Hunt pierce the heart of the monster!"
As soon as these words were spoken!
In this chaotic and dark inner world.
A dazzling light suddenly appeared!
A meteorite materialized out of thin air in this sunless world!
Feixiao's clear pupils reflected that light.
She whispered, "Do you see me… meteorite?"
The light descended from the sky.
Just brushing past Feixiao.
And landed behind her.
Creating a crater in the ground.
It was…
Her heavy axe.
"An oath like a cloud obscuring the sky, shielding the Xianzhou."
"I will fulfill this oath… until my last day."
The moment she grasped the axe handle.
A brilliant light erupted!
Against the backdrop of the galaxy.
The Aeon of The Hunt—Lan suddenly appeared!
Though only for a moment.
It made all the players stand up in awe!
Stunned in front of their screens.
Too shocked to speak!.
