Razel took a deep breath, his expression grim as he continued to explain. "There has been an alliance formed by several powerful demonic forces, including the Black Serpent Tribe, the Demonic Tigers, the Vermillion Bird Clan, and the Bloodmoon Wolf Clan. Together, they've subdued many of our fox clans."
Aric raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued. "An alliance, huh? Quite the gathering of beasts. And what are they after?"
Razel's voice dropped, his eyes darkening with frustration. "They've been trying to capture our Eternal Spring Lake."
Aric's curiosity piqued further. "Eternal Spring Lake? And what exactly is that?"
Razel glanced at the other foxes, then looked back at Aric. "It's a lake said to have the effect of boosting one's cultivation realm. After consuming its water, one is filled with potent energy, making it easier to break through cultivation barriers."
