Nine Cats

The civet civet cat Xuanhu and the ghost spirit rat Zixu are close friends who depend on each other in the spiritual practice of the mountains and forests. The two have eaten and slept together for many years, been together day and night, devoted themselves to cultivation, survived tribulations and refined their bodies together, and practiced martial arts together. Their friendship is as deep as brothers. Both beasts have profound cultivation and outstanding talents. They stand out among the spiritual beasts. We agree to go to the heavenly twelve zodiac selection ceremony together to compete for the throne and live up to the friendship of many years of practice and companionship. But when it comes to the selection, Zixu feels cowardly and greedy. He knew very well that Xuan Hu possessed the yin and yang celestial eye, which could distinguish authenticity from falsehood, glimpse the secrets of heaven, and was also proficient in the magical power of controlling air. He had extraordinary combat power and profound knowledge. If he competed on the same stage, he would definitely be defeated. In order to seize the opportunity, Zixu broke his old promise and went to heaven alone to attend the meeting. With his cunning, quick-wittedness, clever words and adaptable skills, he finally won the position of being the first of the twelve zodiac animals and achieved the title of god. After becoming a god, Zixu was worried all day long, fearing that his past treachery would be exposed, causing rumors in the three realms and damaging his status and reputation. In order to cover up his selfish evil deeds, he blatantly harbored murderous thoughts and ordered the twelve zodiac animals to encircle and suppress the cat clan with all their strength. He was bent on capturing Xuan Hu alive and erasing all witnesses who knew the truth. The innocent cat clan was in deep danger. Xuan Hu led the cats to avoid trouble, and fought desperately with the rat clan and a group of accomplices, starting a long-lasting and extremely dangerous life-and-death battle...
