The perfect Karma realm Star Demon did not have much intelligence and could not immediately sense Ning Qi's aura. It was not something it could defend against, so it took the initiative to attack Ning Qi.
Ning Qi did not move. Only when the branches appeared in front of him did he reach out and gently grab one of them. With a violent shake, a terrifying power surged from the branch and reached the Tree Demon's body. Then, time seemed to stop. All the branches froze in midair. After a few breaths of time, starting from the top of the branches, they slowly collapsed, turning into ashes that fell to the ground. In less than a dozen breaths of time, the Tree Demon's branches were all destroyed.
They were all destroyed, leaving only the bare trunks of the trees.
The place where even sunlight couldn't shine was now empty and unobstructed. Everyone saw a strange fruit growing beside the roots of the Tree Demon.
"It's the Burning Karma Fruit!"
Joy flashed in Zhou Yuanchong's eyes.
The other four did not recognize the Burning Karma Fruit, but from Zhou Yuanchong's words, they could already confirm that it was the Burning Karma Fruit and breathed a sigh of relief.
At least they had repaid Ning Qi's favor. At the same time, they were shocked by Ning Qi's methods.
They were both at the perfect Karma realm, but Ning Qi had only lightly stretched out his hand to severely injure the Tree Demon. Those branches were equivalent to its arms and had been completely destroyed. Its battle strength had dropped by at least seventy to eighty percent!
"Roar!" A sinister face suddenly condensed on the tree trunk. It stared at Ning Qi with hatred and let out an angry roar. No matter how low its intelligence was, it could instinctively sense Ning Qi's strength. It was not something it could resist, but the Burning Karma Fruit was still some time away from ripening.
There was still some time before the fruit would ripen. Either he chose to stay and die, or he chose to escape this place.
"I'll give you one chance. Go."
Ning Qi smiled.
He had not killed the Tree Demon in his previous move. Otherwise, the Tree Demon's body would have been shattered by him, and it would not have the strength to let out such a roar.
After considering for a few breaths of time, the Tree Demon reluctantly floated up from the ground. Its roots that were deep underground also emerged from the soil, revealing a deep, pitch-black hole and crisscrossing marks.
"Senior Brother, the roar just now came from here!"
"Isn't that the entrance to the underground cave? Why would a Karma realm Star Demon appear here …"
"It has already left. Look at the entrance, what fruit is that?"
"Burning Karma Fruit! It's definitely the Burning Karma Fruit, I've seen it in the Hidden Star Palace of our Megrez Palace! I didn't expect that this place would actually have the Burning Karma Fruit, the heavens are really helping me!! " Without waiting for Zhou Yuan and the others to be happy that the tree demon had left, another seven or eight figures arrived. These seven or eight people were all Karma stage cultivators, and were dressed in the green robes of Megrez Palace inner sect disciples. One of them was at the perfect Karma stage.
The rest are all in the middle and late stages.
"Oh no, the movement made by the Tree Demon seems to have attracted people passing by here …"
Zhou Yuanchong's expression changed slightly. Those seven or eight people also saw Ning Qi's group, but when they realized that Ning Qi's group was just a grey-robed outer sect disciple, they didn't even bother to pay attention to them and directly landed at the entrance of the Yin Cave. The leading cultivator at the great circle of Karma realm was extremely excited.
His eyes were filled with greed as he looked at the Burning Karma Fruit. He was just short of drooling.
"Senior Brother Wu, this Karmic Incineration Fruit seems to still need a period of time before it truly matures. Let's stand on guard here so as to avoid being robbed midway."
A Megrez Palace inner sect disciple looked towards the perfect Karma stage cultivator in a fawning manner.
The perfect Karma stage cultivator called senior brother Wu seemed to have reached the fifth level of his basic cultivation technique. Not only had he formed his Destiny Star, he had also formed the first level of the Immemorial Star Body like Xiong Lie, and had a high chance of advancing to the core stage in the future.
"That's what I was thinking."
Senior brother Wu nodded with a faint smile.
"What are you guys doing here?"
One of them suddenly looked towards Ning Qi's group. When he discovered that Ning Qi's aura was different from ordinary outer sect disciples, a sliver of doubt flashed in his eyes.
"Senior brothers, we …"
Zhou Yuan forced a smile and cupped his hands together, as he subconsciously looked towards Ning Qi.
"I was the one who chased away that tree demon just now, so this Burning Karma Fruit should also be mine. If there's nothing else, please return."
Said Ning Qi with a smile.
What?
Senior brother Wu and the rest were slightly taken aback. They looked at each other before bursting into laughter, as if they had heard the funniest joke in the world. The laughter gradually stopped. One of them looked at Ning Qi and said with a smile, "You're an outer sect disciple of Alkaid Star Palace, right? Although there's a rule of first come first served, you're only an outer sect disciple, while we're inner sect disciples. You should know how big the gap in status is, right? Look!
Since you used some unknown method to chase away that tree demon and saved us a lot of effort, I'll let it go this time. You guys can leave. "
"Leave?"
The corners of senior brother Wu's mouth curled into a mocking smile. "If they leave and news of this spreads, it's inevitable that there will be core disciples who want this Burning Karma Fruit. What should we do then?"
"Senior brother Wu is right. Junior brother did not consider this thoroughly, I hope senior brother Wu does not blame me."
The Megrez Palace inner sect disciple hurriedly said in a low voice.
"You guys don't leave for now. Go outside and help us guard. If anyone wants to enter the Yin Cave, tell them that the Yin Cave has been booked by the Immemorial Star Pavilion for this period of time and tell them to leave."
Senior brother Wu arrogantly pointed at Ning Qi and the others.
"Senior brother Ning, why don't we let it go this time? They are inner sect disciples of Megrez Palace. If we offend them, they will inevitably make things difficult for us."
Zhou Yuanchong hesitated for a moment before sending a voice transmission to Ning Qi.
Ning Qi smiled and then walked toward senior brother Wu. As he walked, a trace of karma force wrapped around his body and the image of the celestial palace appeared behind him. Although he didn't say anything, his meaning was obvious. Senior brother Wu was slightly startled, then revealed a hint of mockery in his eyes. "A mere outer sect disciple dares to attack us. It seems that the cultivators of your Alkaid Star Palace have become more and more courageous recently. Is it because your Chief Head Disciple has been taken down?"
Is it because your Chief Head Disciple has been taken down? "
There was a flash of anger in the eyes of Zhou Yuanchong and the others when they heard this.
The matter of the Alkaid Star Palace changing Chief Head Disciple had already caused an uproar in the Immemorial Star Pavilion. For decades, this topic had not diminished.
In many people's view, this was a sign that the Alkaid Star Palace was weak. Otherwise, why would the Chief Head Disciple give up his position to someone else without even making a move?
