The killing intent was stern and the threat was naked.
After hearing this, more than ten Jiang family cultivators of the upper four realms, including Chen Sheng, all looked cold.
Although the old woman in front of him was strong, she was not invincible.
After thinking for a while, Chen Sheng cast an inquiring look at Jiang Chen in white.
Jiang Chen in white took a step forward, as if he wanted to communicate with the old woman, but because of the "ban on speaking", he could not utter a word.
Helplessly, he had to stroke the spirit ring, and an ancient and simple imperial bell floated out of it and floated in front of Chen Sheng.
Chen Sheng instantly understood what Jiang Chen meant and used all his cultivation to strike the imperial bell.
"Dong--!"
In an instant, the ancient and simple bell sound broke through the "ban on speaking", and the bell sounded loudly, resounding throughout the universe.
The sound of the bell created sound waves and slowly spread out.
Wherever it went, the grass and trees bent down, and many demon kings were like being struck by lightning and could not move!
"Top-grade spiritual weapon? No, that's not right! This is an ancient weapon!" Seeing this, the old woman was shocked.
"Old fox, if we confront you head-on, we are not your opponent. But if we use the young master's ancient bell, although we cannot defeat you, we can exhaust your life! We can exhaust you to death!" Chen Sheng said.
"..."
This time, the old woman did not refute, and her expression lost its previous indifference.
The situation changes rapidly.
The previous second, the old woman wanted to use absolute power to swat Jiang Chen and others to death like slapping flies.
But the next second, she might be the one to die.
And what turned all this around was the floating ancient bell! An ancient treasure that is difficult to measure by rank!
The old woman couldn't figure it out.
How could such a treasure appear here, and in the hands of a cultivator who is not even in the upper fourth realm?
Is the Fenglingjiang family really that strong?
The old woman is not stupid, she knows that the situation is not good for her.
But she can't compromise.
Because of the tribe, and because of myself...
"Then come!"
Take a deep breath, the old woman's aura continues to rise, and the six tails behind her wave in all directions.
Seeing that the battle is about to break out.
"Senior, let me dig the tree and dig the roots, I will protect this three-tailed white fox to grow up!" Jiang Chen suddenly spoke.
The old woman was stunned when she heard it.
"No!" Chen Sheng hurriedly stopped, "Young Master, the Nine-Sky Ghost Fox bewitches all living beings! If you are not careful, you will be bewitched and become a puppet willing to give everything for it!"
Jiang Chen did not reply, but just looked at the old woman.
Seeing the old woman's strange face, he said again: "Senior, your granddaughter is awake."
"What?!"
The old woman was shocked and looked up quickly.
Sure enough!
The three-tailed white fox, which had fallen into a deep sleep, has woken up and is rubbing its sleepy eyes with its furry front paws!
Suddenly, the three-tailed white fox jumped down.
It came to Jiang Chen in confusion and asked, "Human, you smell so good, what's your name?"
"!!!"
Everyone was shocked when this was said!
The Nine Heavens Ghost Fox understands people's hearts and knows good and evil.
This also means...
In the eyes of this Nine Heavens Ghost Fox, Jiang Chen is a great good! He smells so good!
Jiang Chen did not answer the three-tailed white fox, but looked at the old woman and said, "Senior, you don't have much time left, and you can't protect it for life. But if you dig up the tree and dig its roots, I will protect it until I die."
"...Why?" The old woman was puzzled.
"Because the roots of the Enlightenment Tree are very important to me." Jiang Chen suddenly picked up the three-tailed white fox under his feet and said, "I have a fate with it."
"..."
The old woman was silent again.
She did not doubt Jiang Chen's words, because the recognition of the Nine Heavens Ghost Fox was the greatest persuasiveness.
It was just as Jiang Chen said.
She didn't have much time left, and she really couldn't protect her granddaughter for a lifetime. The man in white in front of her not only has a terrible background, but is also recognized by her granddaughter. He is indeed a worthy candidate.
"What's your name?" the old woman asked.
"Jiang Chen."
"Jiang Chen, you are not my granddaughter's destined man, because I don't like you."
"I know."
"The three-tailed fox of my clan is in a very unstable state. Even if it has seen you at this moment, if it hasn't seen you for a while, it will forget you."
"I know."
"To be precise, not only at this time, but no matter what you do, my granddaughter will always forget you."
"I know that too."
"Even so, are you still willing to protect my granddaughter for a lifetime?"
"A lifetime is too long, but as long as I am alive, I will definitely protect it."
"..."
The old woman was silent again.
She looked at Jiang Chen deeply and flicked her sleeves.
The next moment.
The three-tailed white fox was wrapped in a ball of white light and floated from Jiang Chen's arms into her arms.
The three-tailed white fox struggled twice and fell asleep again.
"Ten years later, you come here to pick it up."
After saying this, the old woman disappeared from the spot.
She did not tell the consequences of not coming, because there was no need. Because the humans recognized by the Nine Heavens Fox would not go back on their words.
The old woman's departure made Chen Sheng and others feel relieved.
Thinking of Jiang Chen's promise just now, Chen Sheng wanted to say something, but finally gave up.
The decision of the young master was not something he could refute.
Soon, the Enlightenment Tree was pushed down and the roots were dug.
The moment Jiang Chen took out the root of the Tao, the body of the Enlightenment Tree quickly withered and disappeared.
At the same time.
Affected by the breath of the root of the Tao, countless demon kings came from all directions, intending to rob it.
With the help of Chen Sheng and others, Jiang Chen killed people with blood on his white clothes.
The deepest part of the Hengduan Mountains is called the human restricted area because there are countless demon beasts at the level of demon kings in it.
Among them, there are even many great demon kings who can compete with Chen Sheng.
It was not until several days later that everyone successfully left the Hengduan Mountains.
Although no one died, everyone was injured to varying degrees. Especially Chen Sheng, who had been seriously injured after repeatedly contending with demon kings who were on par with him.
If it weren't for Jiang Chen's ancient clock, everyone would have become the food of monsters.
"Everyone has had a hard time on this trip. Let's go back to the Jiang family as soon as possible to recuperate." Jiang Chen said the moment he left the Hengduan Mountains.
The rest of the monks in the upper four realms nodded and turned into light and disappeared, except Chen Sheng remained where he was.
He is Jiang Chen's protector, no matter what happens, he cannot leave.
"Mr. Chen, you need to return to the Jiang family as soon as possible, otherwise there is a risk of your cultivation level falling." Jiang Chen spoke again.
"..."
Chen Sheng remained silent, like a stubborn old man.
"If you don't come back, then I will ask my father to take you back!" Jiang Chen took out a jade slip and said again.
"Don't, don't!" Chen Sheng stopped him quickly, "Can't I go back? The master of the family can't leave the upper domain without permission. The imperial court is watching closely! I'm going back now, young master, be careful."
After saying this, he turned into a stream of light and disappeared.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen shook his head, and after taking two healing pills, he was ready to return to his clan.
It's unexpected!
After he left the Hengduan Mountains, he traveled more than ten miles.
"Jiang Chen, without the guardian, you will definitely die today!" Several monks from the upper four realms appeared and surrounded him.
