372 His Sect Can't Be That Evil
After glaring at the Sixth Elder, the Second Elder decided not to argue with his stupid junior brother.
She accidentally caught a glimpse of the branch of the World Tree in Jiang Xin's hand and became interested: "Xinxin, can you show this branch to Second Master?"
"Here." Jiang Xin handed the thing over generously.
The second elder took it with trepidation, but nothing terrible happened.
This branch looks no different from an ordinary branch, but it is impossible to tell the specific type of tree it belongs to.
And for some reason, seeing new buds sprouting from other dead branches can make people feel the joy of new life, but now seeing tender leaves appearing from the dead branches of the World Tree makes the Second Elder feel the passing of life.
Feng Hen tried his best to seal it, but unexpectedly this thing still found a loophole and absorbed the remaining spiritual power in Feng Hen's body to strengthen itself.
Fortunately, they arrived in time, otherwise, when this dead branch absorbed all of Feng Hen's spiritual power, it would definitely resonate with the body of the "World Tree" and then attract the attention of the Devourer.
"Xinxin, what are you going to do with this dead branch?" asked the second elder.
This stumped Jiang Xin: "I haven't thought about it yet."
[Before, I was only focused on destroying Xing Shuyi's plan and didn't want her to use this branch to strengthen her connection with the Devourer. I haven't figured out what to do with it yet. 】
[How about planting another world tree?] 】
This bold idea scared the Second Elder and others. They wanted to ask, "How should the World Tree be planted?", but they were afraid of exposing the fact that they could hear Jiang Xin's inner voice, so they had to hold back.
"How about cutting off the connection between it and the main body and using it to refine it into a magical weapon?" Chu Linfeng suggested.
Jiang Xin shook her head: "The World Tree is very special. There is no way to cut off the connection between the main body and this branch for a long time. If the Devourer's attention is attracted during the refining process, the refiner will be dead."
Chu Linfeng felt very sorry that such a rare material could not be utilized.
Zhao Shi was a little worried: "If we hold it like this now, won't it attract the Devourer's attention?"
As a person with severe social anxiety, Zhao Shi seldom speaks, but he always asks the right questions.
Jiang Xin motioned him to rest assured: "I'm watching it. The Devourer can't see through it. I'll remove all these young leaves in a while and let it return to its sealed state."
With her words, everyone felt relieved.
The second elder looked around and roughly confirmed his location. He said to the sixth elder, "We are now in the northwest of the Demon Realm. It is not far from the Mayfly Palace and the Dragon Cave. I will go to the Mayfly Palace to take a look, and you go to the Dragon Cave to get some information."
The Sixth Elder was reluctant: "The old Dragon King's dragon ball is still inlaid in our Tianshui Sect's main hall. Wouldn't it be a way to seek death if I go to the dragon cave?"
The second elder signaled him to relax: "That's because the old dragon king himself is incapable of guarding the place. He only picks on Master and won't embarrass you who is in the fusion stage. You should be careful to hide your identity and go find a few little dragons to get some information. It won't be a problem."
Ning Yao and his fellow disciples looked at each other in surprise when they heard the sect's gossip again.
Zhao Shi's master filter, which had been shattered into pieces, was now reduced to nothing but powder.
He couldn't help but ask: "Why is the Dragon Clan's treasure in our Tianshui Sect?"
The Second Elder and the Sixth Elder said in unison: "Master stole it." Their tone was very calm, and they didn't take the matter to heart at all.
Zhao Shi suspected that Daoist Master Zhuyue had done this more than once: "Has Master ever robbed anything else?"
“That’s a lot.” The Second Elder replied casually, inadvertently glancing at Zhao Shi’s frozen body, and seemed to see the collapse of his expression under the mask.
Did she scare the child?
The Second Elder signaled Zhao Shi not to think too much, "It's not as serious as you think. Master got it fair and square."
Zhao Shi was confused: "Is sneaking around called 'robbing'?"
The Sixth Elder said solemnly, "Master accepted the challenge and won it, and only then did he snatch the secret treasure that was the prize."
When monks compete with each other, they sometimes set a prize, and whoever wins can take the gift away.
Zhao Shi heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and he said that his sect couldn't be so evil.
As a result, Chu Linfeng's words brought his heart back to his throat.
Chu Linfeng: "Why did Master receive so many letters of challenge?"
Shen Musi even asked enviously: “Many challenge letters have no prizes, why does Master always win a big one?”
Yes, why not hit others but only hit your master?
Why are the stakes so high when Master goes out to fight?
Zhao Shi looked at the two elders anxiously.
Of course, if you don’t give any reward, the master won’t pay any attention to you.
As for why there are so many declarations of war, that’s just a joke. The Tianshui Sect’s reputation wasn’t in trouble only from their generation.
Just as the Sixth Elder was about to speak, the Second Elder noticed Zhao Shi's uneasiness and secretly kicked the Sixth Elder, interrupting him from speaking the truth. He then smiled and told Zhao Shi, "Because your master is famous enough, the monsters here are jealous of him."
At this point, she suddenly remembered something very important and subconsciously looked at Jiang Xin, "Xinxin, Master's true form..."
[It’s Rabbit!] 】
[White Rabbit! 】
[It is a big rabbit that has eaten a top-grade transformation pill and can transform into a human form without any cultivation, and it can also be unnoticed by others! 】
[It is a pitiful but super delicious White Rabbit who was tricked into signing a loan by the Chu family's ancestor in the Tribulation Period when he was young and owed a huge debt! 】
Jiang Xin shouted in her heart, waiting obediently for the second elder's next words: "Second Master, what do you want to ask?"
Second Elder: “…Nothing.”
The master is actually a rabbit!
Still delicious?
Really?
No, no, no, I can’t have such unfilial thoughts. I should think about how pitiful my master is.
I have to go to the Chu family to help him get revenge some other day!
The two sisters and brothers looked at each other and saw the injustice in each other's eyes.
Seeing that it was getting late, the Second Elder said to the Sixth Elder, "Before it gets dark, go to the Dragon Cave to get information."
As she spoke, she reached out to take Jiang Xin from the Sixth Elder's arms, but she didn't expect the Sixth Elder to hold Jiang Xin and Jiang Xiao, pick up fellow apprentice Ning Yao and quickly flee away: "Senior Sister, I'll take care of Xinxin and the others, you can just go and do your work!"
Second Elder: “…”
You bastard!
Seeing him heading towards the Dragon Cave, the Second Elder was afraid that his presence would attract Ao Yu, so he didn't dare to chase him at full speed. He could only snort and turn around to head towards the Mayfly Palace.
The disciples of Tianshui Sect are first-rate in escaping skills, and the elders are the best among them. In the blink of an eye, the Sixth Elder was already a great distance away from his original location.
What the Second Elder said about "the dragon cave is not far away" was purely based on the foot strength of a cultivator in the Fusion Stage.
If a Jindan cultivator were to walk this distance, it would take several days.
The Sixth Elder was of sturdy build, and could hold two little kids, Jiang Xin and Jiang Xiao, in one hand at the same time. The barrier formed by spiritual energy behind him also accommodated fellow apprentice Ning Yao.
The feeling of being carried away by the elder was quite wonderful, and Shen Muse stretched comfortably, intending to lie down and rest for a while.
He accidentally saw Jiang Xiao's face tense, wondering what he was thinking.
Considering that this person is a Mahayana Demon Lord, Shen Muse takes this very seriously: “Junior brother, what’s wrong?”
Jiang Xiao raised his head and said worriedly, "The branches of the World Tree are still with Second Uncle. Without Senior Sister to suppress it, what if the branches are connected to the Devourer's body?"
The Sixth Elder, who was flying at high speed, slammed on the brakes and almost threw Ning Yao and his fellow disciples out of the barrier.
Even Jiang Xin, who was happily eating the candy man, was stunned.
The Sixth Elder ran so fast that they all forgot about it...
