Hearing the Empyrean Fairy's words, everyone's attention was attracted.
Especially Lan Yu, who could not wait to ask, "Is what you said true?"
The Empyrean Fairy nodded gently.
Lan Yu's eyes gradually lit up. It was naturally a happy thing to be recognized as a warrior.
Tang Zheng was also secretly surprised. In the past, he had always thought that warriors could not compare to cultivators because that was the reality. However, it seemed that he had also fallen into a misconception.
Perhaps it was because of historical reasons that determined this wrong view, because cultivators had always been suppressing martial artists. If Nu'erha had known this principle back then, he probably wouldn't have schemed to expel cultivators.
Tang Zheng had too many warriors around him. Since warriors had unlimited potential, it was naturally good news for him.
"The transformation of the world's spiritual energy does not have too serious an impact on warriors, so there's no need to worry." The Empyrean Fairy added.
Everyone nodded happily.
They continued to move forward. From afar, they saw the Tree of Life. The huge branches and green leaves covered the sky, as if a huge green umbrella stood between heaven and earth.
Before everyone could exclaim in surprise, their eyes widened.
That was because they had seen something out of the ordinary.
～9，
The originally clear sky above the Tree of Life underwent a huge change. A faintly discernible black vortex actually appeared.
"What's going on?" Tian Chanzi turned pale with fright.
Tang Zheng was also stunned. This was a situation that had never happened before. It exuded an unusual and strange aura.
The Empyrean Fairy's expression was solemn. She hesitated for a moment and said, "This seems to be connected to another world."
Tang Zheng's head moved. The Tree of Life was absorbing the energy of the World of Spirits and Souls, so it was naturally connected to the World of Spirits and Souls. However, it was very secretive and was not as ostentatious as it was now.
He stared at the black vortex in the sky without blinking. He suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said in surprise, "That looks like a Ghost Gate, but an enlarged version."
An enlarged version of the Ghost Gate!
Tian Chanzi and the Empyrean Fairy were shocked. They stared at it closely. The more they looked, the more similar it seemed. Both of them had seen the Ghost Gate before, so it was easy for them to come to a conclusion.
The other three asked in confusion, "What's the Ghost Gate?"
Although they were considered to be the strongest among the humans, they knew very little about these mysterious things.
Tang Zheng briefly introduced the Hellgate. The three of them turned pale with fright as they sucked in a breath of cold air and asked, "Then what's the problem?"
The Empyrean Fairy and Tian Chanzi both looked at Tang Zheng. The two of them more or less knew that Tang Zheng had absorbed the energy of the Ghost Realm through the Tree of Life.
The two of them could only sigh at their own inferiority in the face of such audacious behavior. Only a Five-clawed Golden Dragon could come up with such a shocking method.
There was only one explanation for all of this, and that was that it had something to do with Tang Zheng's actions.
Tang Zheng racked his brains, "I used the Six Directions Eight Wastelands Formation to protect the Tree of Life and followed the instructions of the Five-clawed Golden Dragon. Only then could I absorb the source energy of the Ghost Realm without anyone noticing. There shouldn't be any mistakes in all of this, so why is this strange scene happening?"
He pondered for a long time and shook his head, "I can't figure out why this is happening for the time being."
Everyone's expression darkened when they heard this.
"Think about it carefully. If you don't figure it out, it'll be troublesome," the Empyrean Fairy encouraged.
Tang Zheng closed his eyes and began to search his brain like a computer.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind. His eyes lit up as he slapped his forehead and said, "I know."
"What's going on?"
"Last time, the leader of the Dragon Group, Xing Feng, destroyed the Tree of Life. Later, I didn't notice it because I didn't see any big problems. Now it seems that this strange scene was caused by the damage to the Tree of Life."
"Ah, tell us in detail," Tian Chanzi and the Empyrean Fairy frowned and quickly asked.
Tang Zheng spoke tirelessly. Xing Feng's wild ambition was as clear as day, vivid in his mind.
The others were shocked and said angrily, "So all of this was caused by Xing Feng. He even damaged the Tree of Life. His crime is unforgivable."
"He's already dead. It's useless to denounce him. Now we have to solve the urgent matter. Since this strange scene has appeared, I suspect that the Ghost Realm already knows about this. If the Ghost Realm knows that we're absorbing their Source Energy, I'm afraid that things will be troublesome, "Tang Zheng said worriedly.
If the Ghost Realm knew about this, they would definitely be furious.
At that time, they would not only be facing a single person, but the hostility and threat of an entire world. Moreover, it would be from a great world.
Thinking of this, Tang Zheng could not help but feel a headache. He hoped that he was not a jinx and was not right.
The Nine Heavens Profound Maiden and Heaven Monk also knew the seriousness of this matter, and they couldn't help but feel a deep sense of worry between their brows.
"It's useless to think so much now. Let's go and see what's going on first." Tang Zheng took a deep breath and suppressed the messy thoughts in his mind.
Everyone nodded in agreement and rushed to the Tree of Life together.
As they got closer and closer, the Spiritual Qi became denser and denser. Even Wu Junshan and the others could feel it. Their eyes showed surprise.
Tang Zheng took a deep breath and said, "If we cultivate here, it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort."
"Although this place is good, it's too big of a target. It will definitely attract the attention of all parties." Tian Chanzi said worriedly.
Tang Zheng smiled, "I'm just saying. Now that we have Crystal Stones, the Spiritual Qi is sufficient. There's no need to take such risks."
Suddenly, he stopped and gestured with his hand, "There's a situation."
Everyone looked over. Sure enough, there were many people surrounding the Tree of Life. However, no one could get close to the Tree of Life. This was because every time they rushed to the Tree of Life, an invisible light curtain would light up in the void, bouncing them all away.
However, they persevered, but it was all in vain.
These people were actually familiar faces. At least, Tang Zheng saw two familiar faces among them, Granny Li and Fair-faced Flying Dragon. They were the ones who led a group of people to attack, but they were repeatedly thwarted and returned without success.
"The Universal Eight Desolation Formation is still in effect." Tang Zheng was delighted.
"This group of people must have been attracted by the vortex in the sky. They've been here for so long, who knows what progress they've made. "Tian Chanzi said.
"They might have also sensed the danger." Empyrean Fairy said.
Wu Junshan suddenly interjected, "I know Granny Li's personality very well. She doesn't get up early without benefits. If there weren't any benefits, she definitely wouldn't have come here. I'm afraid they've also realized the importance of the Tree of Life, so they want to take it for themselves. "
Tang Zheng thought for a moment and said noncommittally, "In the past, the Tree of Life had always been under the Dragon Group's control. Others simply couldn't interfere or get a share of it. Once the Dragon Group was eliminated, the government's control over the Tree of Life instantly weakened, which gave Granny Li the opportunity to take advantage of it. "
"No matter what their goal is, we can't let them succeed. Since the Tree of Life is so important, it should be in our hands." Empyrean Fairy said without hesitation. The others also nodded.
Tang Zheng ignored the Tree of Life. The most important thing was that the Tree of Life was too mysterious. In a short time, he couldn't study it clearly. Moreover, he used the Universal Eight Desolation Formation to protect it, so others couldn't get close.
As they spoke, the group approached the Tree of Life.
However, they swaggered around without any scruples, which immediately attracted the other party's attention.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
A few sounds of breaking air came from afar. In the blink of an eye, a few people blocked their path and shouted, "Stop, who are you!"
This shout immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Granny Li and Fair-faced Flying Dragon looked at each other, unable to hide their surprise and vigilance.
They seemed to be isolated from the world here. They didn't know what was happening outside, let alone that they would be found. Therefore, they were very surprised by the arrival of this group of people.
The two separated from the crowd and walked to the front, vigilantly looking at the group.
Granny Li was the first to speak, "I really didn't expect to meet you here. Wu Junshan, Lan Yu, haven't you been hiding like cowards all this time? Why are you finally willing to show yourself? "
Wu Junshan coldly snorted, "Granny Li, that day in the Martial Sect, you joined hands with several Elders to force me to abdicate. I haven't forgotten this matter at all. I must properly settle this debt with you."
Regarding this matter, Wu Junshan couldn't let it go.
Granny Li said with a smile, "Wu Junshan, you didn't listen to the High Lord's orders. Moreover, you betrayed the Old Sect Master back then, leaving behind Tang Zheng, the root of the problem. Therefore, you only have yourself to blame for all of this."
Lan Yu was furious, "My son is not the root of the problem. You people who tried to harm him are the root of the problem. I failed to protect my son back then. Now, even if I give up my life, I won't let anyone hurt him. "
Lan Yu's words were powerful and resonant, vividly displaying a mother's protective feelings for her son.
Tang Zheng's head warmed as he looked at her deeply, his eyes filled with tenderness.
Lan Yu didn't notice as she stared straight at Granny Li.
Granny Li sneered mockingly, declining to comment.
"Granny Li, Fair-faced Flying Dragon, what are you doing here with so many people?" Tang Zheng changed the topic.
"Why should I tell you?" Granny Li retorted.
"It doesn't matter if you don't answer. In any case, you didn't succeed in your goal, right?" Tang Zheng smiled.
Granny Li and Fair-faced Flying Dragon's expressions changed slightly, but quickly returned to normal. Could it be that they knew the purpose of this trip?
This time, they had indeed lost control of the Tree of Life due to the destruction of the Dragon Group. In addition, an unknown phenomenon had appeared above the Tree of Life. That was why the High Lord had sent them here to investigate and do everything possible to take the Tree of Life for themselves.
Seeing their reaction, Tang Zheng's head moved. It seemed that his prediction was not far from the truth. This group of people really did come for the Tree of Life.
Immediately, the vigilance in Tang Zheng's heart became even stronger.
