The two of them glanced at each other. Surprisingly, they no longer doubted the truth of Ye Tianze's words. Even though they didn't release Ye Tianze, they had let down their guard.
On the way back, Zhu Que kept looking at Ye Tianze strangely. She didn't believe that Ye Tianze would betray the human race in exchange for his own survival.
However, when Ye Tianze accurately exposed the weakness of the human race in Zhu Que's Secret Realm, as well as the illusory teleportation formation, Zhu Que became vigilant.
She discovered that Ye Tianze knew more about Zhu Que's Secret Realm than she did. Furthermore, almost every word he said hit the nail on the head.

Even more inconceivable was that Ye Tianze actually said that his surname was Zhao, which made the two Spirit Race people let down their guard. This made Zhu Que very curious. Why could someone with the surname Zhao win the Spirit Race's trust?
"Are you very curious?" Seeing that she was staring at him, Ye Tianze immediately transmitted his voice to her.
"Tell me first. Why can someone with the surname Zhao win their trust?" Zhu Que asked.
"Because the Zhao Clan's reputation in Zhu Que's Secret Realm is extremely bad. This is especially true for the Spirit Race. They feel that the human race is cunning and can't be trusted. As for the Zhao Clan's words, they can't believe a single word," Ye Tianze said.
"Aren't you contradicting yourself?" Zhu Que became more and more confused.
"Because of this, the Spirit Race will believe the shameless Zhao Clan no matter what unbelievable things they do. It's only natural that they would betray their own race in order to save their own lives," Ye Tianze said. "Of course, that's only if they do something bad!"
Zhu Que suddenly understood what Ye Tianze meant. She asked, "How do you know so much about Zhu Que's Secret Realm? You haven't been here before, have you?"
"Naturally, I made some preparations beforehand," Ye Tianze said with a smile.
While the two of them were conversing, the two Spirit Race soldiers led them to their territory. It was a lush valley.
The valley was full of vitality. Waterfalls cascaded down, and many ancient buildings towered over the valley. Exquisite wall carvings were engraved on them.
Before they entered the valley, they stopped. A large door suddenly opened in the valley that seemed to have no entrance. A group of warriors in silver armor walked out.
The armor on their bodies was incredibly intricate. The inscriptions on the armor flashed with light. Because the Spirit Race's body was much taller than that of the human race, when these warriors walked out, they gave off a strong sense of oppression.
"Ah Qiong, why did you bring back two humans?" The leading warrior looked at Ye Tianze and Zhu Que warily.
"Guard Captain, these two humans are from the Zhao Clan. They have an important matter that requires an audience with the Great Elder," said the older Spirit Race member called Ah Qiong.
"Hmph, humans are cunning and vicious. How could you trust them so easily and even bring them to the valley? Men, immediately kill these two humans and take Ah Qiong away!" said the leading warrior.
"Wait," Ah Qiong shouted. "Guard Captain, please listen to my explanation. I have something important to report."
Hearing this, the warrior waved his hand. Ah Qiong walked over and whispered a few words. The guard captain's eyes immediately widened.
"Are you telling the truth?" asked the guard captain.
"If not, I wouldn't have brought him here," said Ah Qiong. "Even if he's lying, won't you understand once you see the Great Elder? There's no way he can hide it from the Great Elder! "
The guard captain immediately relaxed. But when he entered, he still checked the demonic vines on Ye Tianze's body.
As for Zhu Que at his side, the guard captain clearly didn't care much about her. Spirit Race children could hide their strength, but human children were generally incomparably weak. Thus, he didn't think that Zhu Que would pose any threat to them.
After entering the valley, Ye Tianze discovered the strength of the Spirit Race. Whether it was the ancient buildings or the layout of the valley, they were not inferior to the human race's. It would not be an exaggeration to describe them as exquisite.
The foundation of a race was often not reflected in their strength on the surface, but in the layout of the valley and the ancient and profound buildings.
"If it weren't for the fact that the Spirit Race's reproduction process is extremely long, they would never have fallen to their current state. They might even have become the sixth strongest race on the continent!" Zhu Que messaged.
Even someone as proud as Ye Tianze couldn't help but sigh at the sight of the valley. But what he was most curious about was the giant tree that took up almost half of the valley.
The Spirit Race used trees as their totem, and the giant tree in front of them was the legendary Tree of Life. It was also the source of life for the Spirit Race.
Legend had it that as long as there was a forest, the Spirit Race could reproduce. And the Spirit Race was far superior to the human race in terms of talent and physical strength.
"The Tree of Life!" Zhu Que gazed at the giant tree, her eyes filled with yearning. "Legend has it that the Tree of Life can produce a kind of Life Crystal. This kind of Life Crystal is a high-grade material used to refine healing pills. If you can obtain one, you can obtain countless pills. The heart of the Tree of Life can even revive the dead!"
"An azure willow!" Ye Tianze said.
"What?" Zhu Que asked curiously.
"This is an azure willow, one of the divine trees of the ancient era." Ye Tianze said, "This should only be a mid-grade azure willow. There are also high-grade azure willows and the legendary Longevity Tree. If you consume the Longevity Tree's heart, you can obtain eternal life!"
"That's only a legend." Zhu Que didn't believe him. "In this world, everything can be hoped for, but eternal life is not."
"But there are still countless people who pursue it regardless of the consequences," Ye Tianze said.
As they walked past the grassy path, a group of Spirit Race people wearing long robes walked out. They looked at Ye Tianze and Zhu Que with strange gazes.
The Spirit Race people, regardless of gender, were all handsome and exuded the aura of life. They looked at Ye Tianze and Zhu Que as if they were looking at monsters. Obviously, they had never seen a human before. But in their impression, humans shouldn't be like this.
Instead, they should be an ugly creature that was associated with cunning and malice. Thus, their eyes were filled with surprise.
After passing through the mountains and rivers of the ancient path, they finally arrived at the azure willow known as the Tree of Life. From a distance, they didn't feel that it was all that scary. But as they approached the azure willow, both Zhu Que and Ye Tianze felt a strong sense of oppression.
It was a kind of oppression that came from the difference in the natural order of life. It was as if the two of them were born a level lower than the azure willow in front of them.
"Restrain all of your aura. Try not to reveal any fire-type spiritual energy," Ye Tianze transmitted.
Zhu Que didn't need his reminder. She had already retracted her aura because Zhu Que could sense that the azure willow seemed to reject her.
There was a large hall inside the ancient tree. Inside the hall, there were rows of guards wearing golden armor. Their helmets covered their handsome faces, leaving only pairs of deep blue eyes that looked straight ahead.
A silver-haired old man sat on the throne in the hall. His face was different from the handsome Spirit Race people around him. His face was wrinkled and there was no sign of life in it. In fact, there was even a hint of death in it.
"Outsiders, report your names." Beside the old man, a Spirit Race man wearing a deep red robe asked.
At that moment, the old man suddenly stared at Ye Tianze with his starry eyes. In those eyes, Ye Tianze could feel the vicissitudes of time.
