In the face of the Tree Master's inquiry, Ao Jian immediately shook his head to express his refusal.
That was because he had more important things to do now.
That was to ask Mo Lanlan and her son to forgive him. This time, he came because he heard that the Sea King was in a life-and-death crisis, so he hurried over with the rule of sword will.
After all, he had contact with the Sea King before and even drank with him. They were considered friends.
This time, he saved the Shadow Clan warriors because he knew that the Shadow Clan had pledged allegiance to the Sea King and was considered a force in the hands of the Sea Chives.
This secret may not be known to the outside world, but it was already known to the players.
At this moment, facing the powerful Tree Master, Ao Jian knew that he had no chance of defeating him, so he was somewhat nervous.
As if sensing Ao Jian's nervousness, the Tree Master squeezed out a smile on his wrinkled face and waved his hand to wipe away his tears.
"Can you tell me how you obtained the inheritance of the Sword Master?"
In response to the Tree Master's question, Ao Jian replied after a moment of contemplation,
"Actually, I have forgotten the specific process. I only vaguely remember that I entered a certain illusion and experienced many things, but I have forgotten all the details."
When the Venerable Tree heard this, it nodded and had a hint of understanding in its heart.
Although he had never practiced swordsmanship, he knew Ah Mu very well. With just a few words, he understood how Ao Jian obtained the inheritance.
However, at this moment, he was very puzzled as to why this memory would disappear.
However, since it had disappeared, so be it. It was also in line with his wishes when he was alive. The Tree Master sighed in his heart.
He knew that Ah Mu's greatest regret when he was alive was that his sword will did not match his own attributes. Although he did not regret his choice, he did not let any disciple repeat his own path when he taught his disciples in the future.
This was because he knew that if the beginning was wrong, then there would be many obstacles in the future, and there would be an end.
Once, Ah Mu was the strongest symbol in a certain era of the sea, but even so, he eventually reached the end and was surpassed by the Tree Master.
Therefore, in the Tree Master's opinion, the disappearance of Ao Jian's memory must have been caused by Ah Mu.
This could be seen from the rule of sword will that Ao Jian had obtained. There was no trace of the Sea God's Sword Will, and it had turned into the most original power of the rule of sword will. Was it not because Ah Mu did not want anyone to repeat his own path?
As for Ao Jian's refusal to return to the central sea area with him, the Venerable Tree did not continue to insist.
"What is your relationship with the Shadow Clan?" As he spoke, the Venerable Tree pointed at the Shadow Clan warriors who were imprisoned by the fist intent not far away.
"They are my friend's subordinates!"
"You'll protect them even at the cost of your life?"
"Yes!" Ao Jian answered without hesitation.
"I understand." The Venerable Tree nodded indifferently, then turned to the deities of the Netherworld Chamber of Commerce.
"Go back!"
Hearing this, the deities of the Netherworld Chamber of Commerce present were surprised. The female emissary who had been following the Venerable Tree all this while spoke in shock.
"Venerable Tree, this … I'm afraid it's inappropriate!"
"Perhaps the Shadow Clan posed a great threat to the Chamber of Commerce in the past, but the Shadow Clan is no longer a threat. Therefore, there is no need to exterminate them. Leave a way out!"
Hearing this, the Underworld Merchant Guild's deities fell silent.
In the depths of their hearts, they were more willing to exterminate them and not leave behind any future troubles.
However, they did not dare to disobey the orders of the Venerable Tree.
The Venerable Tree was an extremely special existence in the Netherworld Chamber of Commerce. Unlike other experts, he mostly did things his own way and did not act according to the orders of the Netherworld Chamber of Commerce.
In the eyes of the members of the Netherworld Chamber of Commerce, he was an expert who respected and cherished life. If it were not for the fact that the Venerable Sword was still in the Chamber of Commerce, he would have chosen to leave.
However, cherishing life did not mean that he was afraid of fighting.
In several battles, the Venerable Tree used his fists to prove himself. The legend of invincibility was created by his hands.
Moreover, the Venerable Tree had an unpredictable character.
He did not kill experts!
Every expert who was defeated by him, even the ancient deities who were regarded as a great threat by the Netherworld Chamber of Commerce, would not be killed.
Moreover, every time he defeated his opponent, he would leave behind a sentence.
"Life is precious, and it is even more precious to be able to cultivate to this level. Live on!"
He was such a strange expert, always elaborating on the preciousness of life in this world where life was like grass.
It was precisely because of this that the status of the Venerable Tree in the entire Central Sea was extremely special.
Even if some forces regarded the Netherworld Chamber of Commerce as their mortal enemy, they treated the Venerable Tree with respect.
At this moment, although the deities of the Netherworld Chamber of Commerce could see that the Venerable Tree wanted to let the Shadow Clan go, they did not dare to disobey. They immediately tore the space apart and chose to leave according to the Venerable Tree's orders.
After the deities left, the Venerable Tree turned its gaze to Ao Jian.
At this moment, in the eyes of the Venerable Tree, Ao Jian was the heir of Ah Mu and also its junior.
If he wanted to protect the Shadow Clan, he would not kill them.
As for the higher-ups of the Netherworld Chamber of Commerce, he would just ignore them!
"Do you know what happened to the Venerable Sword before he died? Can you tell me in detail?"
Hearing this, Ao Jian had a strange expression.
"Do you really want to know?"
The Venerable Tree nodded.
"I really want to know!"
"Then don't hit me if I tell you, even though it has nothing to do with me!"
The Venerable Tree was puzzled, but it still said,
"Just say it."
Regarding the Venerable Tree who helped him protect the Shadow Clan, Ao Jian thought about it and decided to tell the truth. For some reason, he always felt that the Venerable Tree gave him a very close feeling, as if he was a family member, even though they had never met before.
Then, Ao Jian told the Venerable Tree in detail about the Underworld Sword Venerable's appearance in Beiqi and his disappearance with the Venerable Demonic Ape.
During this period, the Venerable Tree listened quietly, its expression neither happy nor sad.
When Ao Jian's voice trailed off, several hours had passed. The sun set on the horizon, and the afterglow of dusk shone on the Venerable Tree's wrinkled face. Ao Jian suddenly felt the sadness in the Venerable Tree's heart.
"I knew that if he continued on this path, this day would eventually come, but I always thought that I could protect him," a touch of sadness appeared on the Venerable Tree's face. As it shook its head gently, tears welled up in its eyes.
They had been companions for a lifetime. This journey had encountered many hardships, but they had all overcome it by supporting each other.
But this time, he was not by his old friend's side. He did not even have the chance to see him for the last time.
The Venerable Tree's heart was filled with shame, self-blame, and a strong reluctance to part.
From now on, I will no longer have you as my companion …
"I didn't expect you to be a member of the Player Clan. But since Ah Mu did not die in your hands, we have no enmity. You are Ah Mu's heir, so you are my junior. I will not hurt you." The Venerable Tree smiled indifferently and reached out to pat Ao Jian's shoulder. At this moment, an abundant vitality was injected into Ao Jian's body.
[Game Hint: Obtained Life Element … Converted to 9 million Health Points. Can be consumed in battle. It can help you instantly repair all wounds until the Life Element is exhausted or you suffer a fatal injury.]
Hearing the game hint, Ao Jian was stunned.
Damn, isn't this Life Element the Rejuvenation Potion in the shop!
However, in Ao Jian's opinion, the Life Element was much stronger than the potion in the shop. With the 9 million Health Points stored in his body, he felt that he was simply immortal!
Looking at Ao Jian's shocked face, the Venerable Tree did not say anything. It turned around and tore open a crack in space.
"Where are you going?" Ao Jian asked subconsciously.
"I'm looking for the Venerable Demonic Ape to teach me a lesson!" the Venerable Tree smiled and stepped into the crack in space.
When the crack in space closed, Ao Jian was still in shock.
At first, he thought that he would have to go through a tough battle. He had prepared the Soul Prayer Wine and was ready to turn the world upside down. Even if he could not win, he had to spend money to exhaust his opponent. He did not expect it to end just like that.
Moreover, the players' army was already on their way. It was just that he had arrived in advance by relying on the rule of sword intent.
Thinking that the Venerable Tree was now looking for the Venerable Demonic Ape, Ao Jian suddenly realized that a super battle was about to take place.
After a moment of silence, Ao Jian posted his encounter here on the regional live chat channel.
At this moment, the players who knew the news were just as confused as Ao Jian.
"That … Boss Ao Jian, didn't you go to die (forgive me for being direct)? How did you settle it?"
"I now seriously suspect that Boss Ao Jian is a spy planted by the Underworld Chamber of Commerce in the Player Clan. I have the evidence!"
"You can make the Underworld Chamber of Commerce depart just by showing your face? If I believed you, I would have wasted three years of playing. Ao Jian is definitely a spy (laughing emoji). "
"Show … show your face? I now suspect that Ao Jian is following the hidden plot of subverting the Player Clan. Tell us the truth. Ao Jian, you have been targeted by us. Please cooperate with our investigation! "
"Is there such a possibility? Didn't Ao Jian obtain the inheritance of the Underworld Sword Lord? Perhaps the hidden plot of the destruction of the Player Clan was activated at that time. The clever me has already seen the truth!"
…
Opening the chat box, Ao Jian was speechless as he looked at the ridiculous replies of the idiotic players.
How can these idiots be so whimsical? It's infuriating!
After closing the chat box, Ao Jian's eyes began to scan the surroundings because he had not seen the most important character, Sea Leek, until now.
At this moment, Ao Jian suddenly thought of a possibility.
Could it be that Sea Leek has been cut off?
Thinking of this, he could not help but shiver and quickly sent this speculation to the chat box.
At this moment, the players collectively exploded …
…
At this time, the Sea King naturally did not know that the players had exploded because of him. At this moment, he was entangled with a curse and felt weak all over.
As the power of the curse spread in his body, it constantly destroyed his bodily functions.
The Sea King tried to control the Power of Death to fight against it, but the curse of the Goddess Messenger was not afraid of the Power of Death at all. It raged in his body and destroyed everything along the way.
In the face of a life-and-death crisis, the Sea King did not give up. He clenched his teeth and persevered.
However, as time passed, he became weaker and his body became a mess. At this moment, even his consciousness became blurred.
After persisting for a while, the Sea King finally chose to give up because he knew that he was definitely going to die. Struggling would be futile and useless.
At this moment, the Sea King suddenly realized that his heart had become very calm.
In the silent depths of the sea, his body was still sinking. At this moment, the Sea King's mind was replaying his life.
From the Mu Te Sea Nation, where the boy who would be jealous of Mu Zhiguang's excellence ran away from home … Establishing the Sea King Navy … Dominating the Void Ocean … Encountering the Player Clan … Obtaining the power of the Lord of Death …
This life was very exciting, but the Sea King still felt that he had not lived enough.
If I keep going, how far can I go? Can I overthrow the Underworld Chamber of Commerce and replace it?
As his body dived deeper and deeper into the sea, the Sea King's consciousness was already blurred until there was not a trace of light around him.
However, just as the Sea King's consciousness was about to fall into chaos, he suddenly felt a force pulling him upward.
After a while, light appeared in front of him.
The Sea King opened his eyes with difficulty and found that there was a white field in front of him. At the same time, he also found that there was a dog's head in front of him that was looking at him with a look of disgust.
"Little brother, drink some milk. I think you're seriously ill!"
