(Third Update)
"Not all of the elders are clinging to the ancestral rules. Elder Yun Shanhai also supports me in this. In fact, we have already opened up a place outside the clan and tried to recruit disciples from other clans. We plan to bring them back to the clan when they are useful. Unfortunately, the number of people recruited is very small, and there are even fewer who can become useful … "Wu Kuihu said.
Hearing this, a doubt in Shen Luo's heart was finally resolved.
Yuan Qiu, whom he met back then, was most likely one of these people.
"Clan Leader Wu, Senior Yun, why do I not understand what you are saying?" Jiang Shentian could not help but ask after holding it in for a long time.
The few of them turned their heads and looked at him.
"A hundred years ago, the Demons' internal strife had already quelled the Demons' invasion in Chi You. Why are you still bluntly talking about the invasion of the Demons?" Jiang Shentian voiced his doubts.
He felt that it was most likely because the Divine Wood Clan was too isolated, so they did not know about it.
Wu Kuihu seemed to have guessed what he was thinking and said,
"We are all aware of the situation you have mentioned. However, we still have doubts about the idea that the Demons' invasion has been quelled. "
"What do you mean?" Jiang Shentian frowned.
"Although the Divine Wood Clan is isolated, we are not completely ignorant of the outside world. We know a thing or two about the things that have happened in the various states. Ever since the Human, Demon, and Immortal Clans formed an alliance, the invasion of the Demons has indeed decreased, and the scale is much smaller than before. However, is the Three Realms really stable? "Wu Kuihu asked.
Shen Luo's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He felt that Wu Kuihu's question coincided with his own worries.
"Senior, are you saying that although the Demons' invasion has been quelled … although the Demons' invasion seems to be quelled on the surface, the Three Realms are not really at peace?" He could not help but ask.
"At least within the Human Clan, the previously hidden conflicts have begun to be exposed. Conflicts between the various large continents and some small secular countries have been piling up, and the number of wars that have broken out has increased year by year," Wu Kuihu said.
"The various factions of the human race are already complicated. Without the external pressure of the Demons, internal conflicts will definitely appear. This is also inevitable in the development of history. When the mountains and rivers are reorganized and the dust settles, everything will naturally settle down, right?" Jiang Shentian asked.
"Brother Jiang, do you know the weight of the words' Mountains and Rivers Reorganized, Dust Settled '? Behind these words are the lives of many people. The earth will be in chaos, the mountains and rivers will be stained with blood, and the world's turbid air will rise. What's the difference between this and the Demons' rebellion? "At the end, Shen Luo himself was a little stunned.
Vaguely, he seemed to have grasped something.
Hearing Shen Luo's words, Wu Kuihu was also a little surprised. His eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of admiration.
Jiang Shentian lowered his head and pondered for a moment. Then, he reacted quickly and said, "I misspoke. I'm sorry."
"It is said that Gautama Buddha has observed the three realms and four continents and found that there are many changes in the human heart. There are many greed, anger, stupidity, and hatred in the world. Then, he ordered his disciple, the Golden Cicada, to be reincarnated to obtain the scriptures and spread them everywhere in order to correct the mistakes in the human heart and change the loss of morality. But now, the Mahayana Buddhism has been spread all over the world, but it is still difficult to educate all living beings. If this goes on, the Demons … I don't think it's really over. "Shen Luo also expressed his doubts.
"That's right. There are not many people in the Human Clan who can see this." Wu Kuihu no longer concealed his admiration.
"Patriarch, Wu Man 'er left the clan without permission, which is a serious crime. Now, she has brought an outsider back, which is an even bigger crime. She left her post without permission and caused the Tree of God to fall. Shouldn't she be punished severely? "At this time, a loud voice was heard.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall elder of the Spiritual Wood Clan slowly landing on the ground.
There was no hair ornament on his head. His silver-white hair was tied up high and he had a short white beard under his chin. He looked hale and hearty and was very dignified.
"Greetings, Elder Zhong." Wu Man 'er bowed first.
Seeing this, Man Tianxing and Yun Xiaonu hurriedly bowed down obediently. Obviously, they were afraid of the elder.
Shen Luo and Jiang Shentian also bowed.
"Great Elder." Yun Zhongyue's face was solemn as she bowed.
Yun Zhongting's gaze swept over them. When he looked at Wu Man 'er, he could not hide the regret in his eyes.
"Great Elder, I acquiesced in Man 'er leaving the clan. I am the main culprit. As for these two little friends, I also brought them into the clan. "Wu Kuihu explained.
"As a witch, she left her post without permission. No matter who allowed it or who connived, she can't escape punishment." Yun Zhongting said coldly.
"Master, Great Elder, I am willing to bear all the blame for leaving the clan grounds without permission. However, my two friends did not enter the clan grounds before. Please forgive them. I brought them back this time because I wanted to get some Mother Earth Liquid from the clan for them to revive the Ginseng Fruit Tree. "Wu Man 'er said.
"Ginseng Fruit Tree?" Yun Zhongting heard this name and frowned slightly.
Wu Kuihu's expression also changed slightly.
"So, you left the clan without permission to find the Ginseng Fruit Tree's Liquid?" Yun Zhongting hesitated.
"Man 'er did go there to find the Ginseng Fruit Tree's Liquid. However, when we arrived at Wu Zhuang Guan, the Ginseng Fruit Tree had already been infected by the Devil Qi and withered. Therefore, I brought them back to the clan to find the Mother Earth Liquid to revive the Ginseng Fruit Tree. When the Ginseng Fruit Tree is revived, I can get some of the Ginseng Fruit Tree's Liquid. "Wu Man 'er said slowly.
"If that's the case, it's reasonable for you to leave the clan." Yun Zhongting nodded.
But soon, he sighed slightly and added, "Unfortunately, I'm afraid you will be disappointed this time. They will also have to make a wasted trip."
"Why is that?" Wu Man 'er asked hurriedly.
Jiang Shentian and Shen Luo also looked at Yun Zhongting anxiously.
Yun Ziting glanced at Wu Kuihu. Seeing the latter nod, Yun Ziting said,
"After you left, there was another strange movement in the Martial God Altar. The space below has been invaded by the Devil Qi and can't go down anymore."
"Senior, is the Mother Earth Liquid below the Martial God Altar?" Jiang Shentian asked.
"That's right. The Mother Earth Liquid is in the first level of the Martial God Altar. "Seeing that Yun Zhongting did not intend to explain to Jiang Shentian and Shen Luo, Wu Man 'er took the initiative to speak.
Shen Luo and Jiang Shentian did not know much about the Martial God Altar. After hearing Wu Man 'er's words, they were still puzzled.
"The Martial God Altar is built at the root of the Tree of God. There is only one Guardian Hall above ground, but there are three levels underground. The Mother Earth Liquid is in the first underground level. In the third underground level of the Martial God Altar, there is a doppelgänger of Chi You's Devil Soul and almost a hundred ferocious demons sealed there. The mission of the Divine Wood Clan is to guard this doppelgänger and those demons. "
Before she could finish her sentence, Wu Kuihu took over and continued,
"Almost every once in a while, the Demons and Chi You's Devil Soul suppressed under the Martial God Altar would erupt and attack the seal of the Martial God Altar. However, the Divine Wood Clan repelled them at the cost of the lives of our clansmen. However, as they attacked again and again, even with the Tree of God suppressing them, the power of the seal continued to weaken. In the end, they destroyed the seal on the third level and occupied the second underground level. "
