Looking from afar, these bears were in a forest not too far away. These bears were exceptionally obedient. Yun Yang did not know what method they had used, but they had actually dug a hole under a big tree. Seven bodies of similar size were hidden there. Their hiding place was not far from Celestial Crown City, but they had managed to avoid such a strict search and were safe until now.
However, this did not make sense at all …
Yun Yang's thoughts raced. Amidst his confusion, he approached the beasts swiftly. However, when he came to the nearest part of the forest, he suddenly lost track of the seven bears. Caught off guard, Yun Yang was bewildered, almost suspecting if this was some kind of trap set by the Crane King.
…
Just as Yun Yang was hurriedly channeling his lifetime's cultivation base and was even planning to cast his manifestation powers to escape without caring about exposing his tracks, the ground about a hundred feet away from the big tree where the seven bears were hiding suddenly squirmed. Then, a huge bear head popped out, followed by its entire body leaping out of the ground.
It was White Bear Bai!
White Bear was pleasantly surprised. "Master, it's really you!"
Yun Yang's face darkened. "What happened?"
The remaining six Bear Demons leaped out of the pit one after another, winking at Yun Yang, their faces filled with joy and surprise.
"Master, it's great that you're alright."
White Bear Bai grinned. "We can't enter the city anymore. I was thinking of setting a few fires around here tonight and killing a few more Crane Demons …"
Yun Yang sighed. "I'm very touched by your intentions towards me, but it makes me feel that your brains are really just for show! You've been stirring up trouble in the Crane King's territory one after another. You're simply courting death. Even if you've succeeded for a while and the Celestial Crown City can't catch you in such a short time, but with the Crane Clan's resources, especially as a local tyrant, it's only a matter of time before they catch you … Why do you have to do such an unwise thing? "
Bai Xiong blinked his eyes, his expression sincere. "We brothers know about this, but we have been brothers for so many years, and no one has ever looked us in the eye. Only Master did not hold grudges against us, and even taught us martial arts. Even before we left for the Crane King's Residence, even though we knew that the road ahead was full of danger, and that it was uncertain whether it would be good or bad, he still left us a path of survival … Exchanging a demon's heart for a demon's heart, for us to do something for Master, to take some risks, how is that not something we should do?"
Yun Yang was infuriated. "Idiot, a battle between me and the Crane King can only be fought by cultivators who are above the level of Supreme Saint. How can you mere Holy Kings step in? You must never do this again. "
White Bear Bai agreed with a smile, but from his expression, it was clear that he did not care.
"What happened just now? Why can't I sense all of you here? If I hadn't sensed your presence earlier and made up my mind, I would have left already! "Yun Yang asked casually.
This was what puzzled Yun Yang the most. With White Bear Bai and the other bears' cultivation base and ability, it was impossible for them to have the ability to hide from his senses!
White Bear Bai laughed proudly. "Master, you may not know this, but the reason for this is due to us brothers' good fortune …" He turned around and called out, "Old Tree, this is my master. Come out and meet me."
Just as White Bear Bai's voice echoed, the tree behind him that was so thick that it would take three to four people to wrap their arms around it wriggled in response. Then, an old face emerged from the tree trunk, covered in wrinkles and with a pair of eyes that were filled with the vicissitudes of life.
"Greetings, Sir Zi," the old tree greeted.
"How do you do, Brother Tree?" Yun Yang greeted.
The old tree grinned. "I dare not be called Sir Zi's brother. This old man has lived in this world for some years, but I've awakened my intelligence late. Sir Zi, you can just call me Old Tree. "
He sighed softly. "I'm the source of Mr. Zi's doubts. Speaking of which, this technique is the only technique that I've mastered in my entire life. With my own body as the point of origin, I can shield myself from all the Qi dynamic around me. It's just an insignificant skill that's not worth mentioning in the eyes of a capable person.
Yun Yang said solemnly, "This is already a remarkable ability. Thank you, Old Tree, for protecting my seven good-for-nothing disciples. "
The old tree smiled, his face filled with relief. He was obviously very happy.
To him, to be praised by this great demon fox before him, it was enough to lift his chest and comfort his entire life.
"A few years ago, Little Bear and the rest did me a great favor."
The old tree tried his best to smile. "There was a colony of Gold-Eater Ants living under my roots, shaking my foundation and causing me to wake up from years of slumber. I couldn't move, and I was helpless due to the restraints of my attribute. I was extremely troubled. With my foundation, I could still maintain it for a short period of time, but if this were to go on for a long time, I'm afraid I'd perish in the ant colony. Luckily, Little Bear and the rest came here unintentionally and killed those hateful ants, allowing me to escape death. Since then, Little Bear and the rest have become sworn friends of life and death … No matter what danger we encounter, as long as this old man can help, I won't hesitate. "
"I see."
"This old man still has a very mysterious ability to predict …" The old tree mused and said, "I can sense some disasters in the future … like now, this old man has a feeling that this place will be completely destroyed not long after, never to exist again …"
"Oh?" Yun Yang frowned.
"Therefore, this old man would like to ask Sir Zi for a favor."
The old tree was very embarrassed. "Can Sir Zi please bring my seed out?"
"Bring it out? Old Tree, how exactly should it be done? "
"It's very simple to bring it out. As long as it's not near here, it can be scattered anywhere, "the old tree said seriously," However, it'd be best if it's not in this Demonic Elemental Realm. "
"Why is that?"
"Because … this place is about to be plunged into misery and suffering. Demons can't survive."
Yun Yang's gaze turned sharp at once as he said slowly, "I need a reason. Why would you look for me? When it comes to friendship, shouldn't you look for Little Bear and the rest? "
The old tree looked at White Bear and the rest with some pity and said slowly, "They … can't do it."
Yun Yang asked, "Oh? Can I do it? "
The old tree answered with certainty, "Yes, this old man can feel that you're safe. I can even say that … staying with you is the safest!"
Yun Yang mused in silence. This old tree, this old tree, seemed to have some skill!
"I need to know your background. What kind of tree are you?" Yun Yang asked, his tone no longer as friendly as it was before.
"This old man really doesn't have a specific name. Our clan calls itself the Illusory Tree."
The old tree sighed softly, "I've heard from our ancestors that our ancestors were also mighty figures. With the power of a tree, together with the mighty figures of the human race, they established the Misty Illusory Manor and were renowned for a time. However, the world changes, prosperity and decline. Many years later, the Misty Illusory Manor was destroyed, and our Illusory Tree Clan was scattered all over the world … "
"At present, this old man only knows that I'm still in this world, but I don't know if there are still people of the same clan in this world. This is because … our Illusory Tree Clan is a spiritual plant that's suitable to grow in the human world. To survive in this Demonic Realm … we have to resist the invasion of demonic Qi at all times. Not only can we not grow to our peak, but even basic growth is a problem. "
"Then you? … "
"For the sake of survival, I had no other choice but to cultivate the demonic cultivation method. The main purpose was to pass on my clan's legacy. However, after cultivating the demonic cultivation method, although I obtained the continuation of life … my own lifespan is far from being able to live as long as the sun and moon like my ancestors. This is also the fundamental reason why this old man's cultivation base and ability are so shallow … "
"After so many years, this old man has cultivated a total of ninety-nine seeds with the essence of my entire life … all of them are full of essence … but this old man's remaining lifespan should be less than a hundred years …"
"The opportunity before us is hard to come by. It's time and fate that Mister Zi has come … I beg for Mister Zi's help so that the Illusory Tree Clan can survive. This old man will be eternally grateful!"
Yun Yang pondered for a long time, not speaking for a long time.
Of course, this Old Man Qiu of the old tree was a piece of cake for him. It was as easy as lifting a finger.
However, he could not be sure if the Illusory Tree Clan would cause any trouble if they really entered the human world.
Now was the time of chaos; it was best not to let out any variables that should not be let out!
The old tree saw Yun Yang's hesitation and a hint of hesitation and determination flashed across his eyes. He said in a low voice, "This old man knows that this is not a good time for us to talk. It's understandable that Mister Zi has reservations when entrusting such an important task. If Mister Zi feels that you can't control it in the future and there's trouble, you can nourish it with your deific consciousness for a period of time before planting the seeds. When you've developed a sense of familiarity with it, you can brand it with your soul. This way, you can ensure that the newborn Illusory Tree Clan will follow your will and follow your orders … Sigh, this is what the master of the Misty Illusory Manor did back then …"
"It can be done like this?" Yun Yang's eyes lit up.
If it could really be done like this, it could prevent accidents from happening to the greatest extent!
"Yes. However, this method can only be carried out after you've gotten close to the Tree Spirit. Otherwise, the seeds will never sprout. The tree has a heart too; without a heart, it dies, "the old tree warned solemnly.
"I understand, I understand." Yun Yang seemed to have let go of a burden that had been weighing on his mind, having made up his mind.
"As long as you brand the Illusory Tree Clan and it grows to a certain extent, it can open up a space of its own to be used by a certain force. No matter how high the cultivation base is, it'll be difficult to detect the presence of the Misty Illusory Manor. This is the strongest power of the Illusory Tree Clan."
The old tree said solemnly.
"It's impressive indeed!"
Yun Yang's eyes shone brighter and brighter.
Did this not mean that he would have another way to protect his life? He could even use it to come up with more ways to fight and increase his safety on top of the original foundation?
Seeing that Yun Yang had agreed, the old tree seemed to be at ease. As its branches and leaves shook, seeds appeared one after another in front of Yun Yang.
The seeds were in the shape of a gourd and had distinct facial features. Its eyes were shut tight like an unborn fetus, a faint fragrance emanating from it.
These seeds were not small either, each weighing at least four to five catties. Yun Yang used his deific consciousness to probe and found that they were indeed filled with energy. Ninety-nine seeds were piled together, almost forming a small hill.
"I'm counting on you," the old tree said solemnly.
"I've been entrusted with a task, and my word is as good as the wind. I won't regret it even if I die nine times." With a wave of his hand, Yun Yang kept the pile of seeds. He then asked through his deific consciousness, "Old tree, why did you give them to me? I want to hear the truth."
"Because … you're not a demon. This is already the best reason," the old tree said honestly.
"Indeed …"
Yun Yang nodded. The old tree had indeed sensed something before making such a decision. This was the only logical way!
"I won't tell anyone." The old tree chuckled.
Yun Yang believed it. If he wanted to expose him, he would have done so long ago. Besides, his ninety-nine descendants were here with him now. Exposing Yun Yang's identity would be no different from digging his own grave. It was even more impossible!
"Old tree, your true form is here? Is it like this? "Yun Yang's thoughts ran wild after listening to the old tree's words.
This place was too obvious and too dangerous.
"Of course not." The old tree smiled faintly. "This is only where one of my clones is. My true form has long decayed, and I'm struggling to survive with this clone, waiting for hope to come. My true form can't survive in the Demonic Realm. As for this clone … it's just a bit of my true spirit that's separated when I've reached the end of my lifespan. It drifts with the wind and attaches itself to other trees by chance. However, this is only a last resort, because I'll have to start all over again … I'll need to cultivate for at least ten thousand years before I can recover my basic intelligence and understand the situation … "
He sighed softly. "Actually, my wish has been fulfilled by entrusting the seeds of the Illusory Tree to you. It doesn't matter if I work harder to separate my spirit. I cultivate with demonic Qi to prolong my feeble existence. Although it's an act of desperation, I've shamed my ancestors after all …"
As he spoke, the Illusory Tree's expression suddenly changed. It smiled bitterly and said, "Everything is destined. Even if I want to continue living … I'm afraid I don't have the chance anymore."
As it spoke, Yun Yang could clearly feel the powerful aura that was gathering from all directions. It was about to reach this place!
And this aura, compared to the aura of the encirclement in Sky Crown City, was several times stronger!
From eight directions, there were two powerful auras coming from each direction. The sharp murderous intent had already shattered the clouds in the sky.
It was a terrifying pursuit. The intensity of the murderous aura and the number of enemies were unprecedented!
Yun Yang stood up abruptly, his eyes filled with a complicated and pained expression.
White Bear, White and the other Seven Bears, this time …
"Old tree, is there any way to let these seven idiots live?"
The old tree shook its head in agony. "There's no way. The situation has gone out of control. There's no turning back …"
In a flash, Crane King's sonorous voice rang outside, "Violet, aren't you going to come out and accept your death?"
At the same time, there was a buzzing sound in the air.
Boom!
The surrounding space, no less than thousands of feet in circumference, seemed to shatter from top to bottom before it reassembled and returned to its original state.
However, the air inside had become extremely chaotic, and it was filled with countless spatial cracks.
Following the sudden change, all the spiritual Qi in this space, even the waste gas, demonic Qi, the air, everything in this space, ceased to exist!
In an instant, the entire space had transformed into … a gigantic void!
White Bear, White Bear, and the rest of the Seven Bears, who had tried their best to protect themselves, groaned in pain after being reminded by the old tree. Blood seeped out of their mouths and noses; their internal organs were obviously injured and they were severely injured on the spot.
The branches and leaves of the old tree also rustled, and a thick layer of leaves fell like rain!
Outside, Crane King's smug voice rang out, "Turning Qi into steel, turning the earth into jade! Violet, I'd like to see where you can run to this time! "
"This is what we, the Mirage Tree, fear the most." The old tree said with difficulty, "This time, we're really at the end of our lifespan … Sir Violet, don't worry too much. Run for your life quickly. Only by staying alive can we have a chance to talk about the future …"
An indifferent voice rang out, "This must be the Demon Tree speaking … Haha, Demon Tree, do you think you can live forever by hiding here quietly? Do you think we've never discovered you? We're just envious of you, especially when there's no danger, so we don't want to bother with you. If we wanted to deal with you, how could we let you live until now?! "
"You've been protecting a few demons, don't tell me we don't know? Hahaha … These seven Demon Bears are indeed here with you! "
The old tree's wrinkled face was instantly filled with bitterness.
It turned out that these demons had long known that he was hiding here, and had come with a purpose this time. No wonder they could point straight to this place and march in …
Rustling footsteps rang out gradually. Ten people walked over from eight directions, front, back, left, and right.
And the one at the front was Crane King, bringing two Holy Venerables with him. They walked slowly and leisurely.
There was only one person in the other directions, but this had already formed a tight and flawless cage, a cage that would surely kill!
In the sky, two people's voices rang out leisurely, "Crown King, hurry up. We want to see how this expert of the Fox Clan can come and go without a trace, we're really curious. "
Obviously, there were two more people watching from above, sealing off the escape route into the sky!
Two strange voices rang out from underground as well, "We're in position too. Even if we want to escape underground, it's no longer possible! "
The four voices in the sky and on the ground guffawed together, "We're really curious. Crown King, you've paid such a high price just to catch this coquettish fox in front of you? Hahahaha … if we say we don't doubt your intelligence, would you believe us? "
"Just a mere fourth-level pinnacle Saint Emperor … to send out fourteen Holy Venerables … Crown King, is there something wrong with your brain?"
The place was filled with mockery and mockery, the sounds of laughter never ending.
Crane King, on the other hand, looked indifferent, without the slightest hint of anger. His cold and piercing eyes stared at Yun Yang as he said faintly, "Everyone, you don't have to worry about whether I'm stupid or not. I can afford the money, I can pay the price, how I use it is my own business. You only have to remember one thing, if he escapes, I won't pay any price. Also, if you're too careless, if there's any death or injury, it's your own fault and no one else's. I'll also pay the slightest compensation, not to mention the pension. "
The eleven people laughed in unison, "Don't worry, if he escapes, we'll personally go back to our Emperor and beg for forgiveness. We won't blame you, Crown King, for asking for help but not paying, hahaha …"
Obviously, these experts of the Crane Clan did not look down on this Violet of the Fox Clan at all.
Other than Crown King, who was also the two Supreme Venerables that Crane King had brought along, there were a total of eleven experts of the Crane Clan gathered here. The one with the highest cultivation base had already reached the level of a third-level Supreme Venerables. None of them were easy to deal with!
With such a lineup, even a half-step Demonic Saint could be put up a fight. It was too much to say that they were using a butcher's knife to kill a chicken!
It was only now that Yun Yang knew that this Crane King before him was only a city lord under the Crane Emperor's command, the city lord of Crown City. He was not the Crane King, so his status was not too high or mighty.
However, the powerful lineup before him was real. As the fourteen people advanced slowly, wherever they went, the entire forest was slowly destroyed. All the trees were crushed into dust by the terrifying aura!
Although the Illusory Tree said that its ability was weak, it was still struggling to hold on. The treetop was swaying wildly, but it was obviously not at the point where it could no longer hold on. It was obvious that the ten thousand years of accumulation that this old man had mentioned was rather impressive.
On the other hand, the Seven Bears, including White Bear, were far too weak in their cultivation base. Even with the old tree's help, they were already having difficulty breathing and dealing with the situation. Blood was gushing out of all seven orifices of the Seven Bears. It was a horrifying sight. They were in a precarious situation and could die at any time.
"Master!"
White Bear Bai roared in pain, "Don't worry about us! Go, go! Where there's life, there's hope … Find a chance to avenge us in the future … "
…
