439 Too bad, I recommend you to be the new leader of Tianshui Sect
Jiang Xin's petite figure disappeared without a trace, and the space constructed by her spiritual power disappeared with it.
Qi Lanqing felt her eyes blurred, and when she came back to her senses, she saw Ren Shiyao staring at her with an angry look, swinging her fist towards her: "Get out of your uncle's body!"
Ren Shiyao is a physical cultivator. If a fragile talisman cultivator like Qi Lanqing were to take her full-strength punch head-on, breaking his meridians would be the least of his worries.
Before his brain could react, Qi Lanqing's body had already reacted instinctively due to his rich combat experience.
Ten protective amulets were activated at the same time, just enough to block Ren Shiyao's fist, which exploded with a loud "boom".
Qi Lanqing immediately stepped back and distanced himself from Ren Shiyao: "Shiyao! What are you doing?"
Ren Shiyao paused when she was about to throw a second punch. Seeing that the wood grain on Qi Lanqing's body was rapidly fading away, her eyes returned to their usual calm and friendly expression.
"Uncle-master?" she called tentatively.
"It's me." Qi Lanqing nodded slightly and checked her body at the same time. She found the essence of tree spirit remaining in her meridians. She roughly guessed what had happened.
The chains formed by the Dragon Locking Formation had been torn apart long ago when the tree spirit was controlling her body, and now only a few broken chains were left clinging to her body.
Qi Lanqing took out three Qingling Talismans and slapped them on his body to dispel the tree spirit essence and broken chains in his body. He looked around worriedly: "Have you seen Xinxin?"
"Didn't Xinxin stay in the demon world with Master?" Ren Shiyao asked puzzledly, "Uncle Master, is there something wrong with the earth veins? Is that why you were controlled just now?"
"The spirit of the World Tree is still alive. He wanted to devour the earth veins, but I stopped him. Now the fusion of the Tiancheng Spirit World and the Demon World is his doing. He wants to take back the trunk of the World Tree and regain his freedom. Xinxin..." Qi Lanqing frowned when talking about his daughter. "She blocked the spread of the Devourer's power and forcibly connected the two worlds' array centers together so that they can continue to resonate. But she just let the spirit of the tree devour her."
Qi Lanqing's voice unconsciously lowered, his eyes became red, and he spread out his spiritual sense to search for his daughter.
Ren Shiyao was anxious and angry when she heard this: "So now there are two bastards who want to devour our Tiancheng Spirit Realm? That's not right. Xinxin is so powerful, how could she let the tree spirit devour her?"
"I don't know, Xinxin she..." Qi Lanqing didn't know how to describe his feelings.
The more he understood his daughter's supernatural powers, the more uneasy Qi Lanqing became.
Especially in such a turbulent situation, it takes one person to turn the tide.
Back then it was the Immortal Master Mingchen. Now that the Immortal Master is gone, there is a Jiang Xin who inherited the same source of power as the Immortal Master.
As a talisman practitioner with a strong sense of divine connection, Qi Lanqing had a vague premonition that her daughter was not only her daughter, but perhaps also the savior born in her womb.
Everything has a price, and the price of saving the world is unimaginable.
Mingchen Immortal Venerable died a martyrdom, and her daughter...
Qi Lanqing didn't dare to think any further. He wiped away the tears that had been streaming down his cheeks. He forced himself to remain calm and said to Ren Shiyao, "The tree spirit has already mutated. Its fight with the Devourer will surely affect the Tiancheng Spirit Realm. You guard Yunming City, and I'll go find Xinxin. We can't let the tree spirit devour her power to strengthen itself."
"Where are you going to find it?" Ren Shiyao asked.
Qi Lanqing frowned and lowered his head uncomfortably. All he could see was the City Lord's Mansion which had been destroyed due to the rampant growth of a giant tree.
She suddenly thought of a way out from this ruin: "The tree spirit is not as powerful as the Devourer. After devouring Heart, it is very likely that it will want to devour the Earth Vein to ensure that it can defeat the Devourer. I will go to guard the Earth Vein!"
She did what she said. Her body turned into countless talismans and disappeared into the ground like a comet. All that was left was her instructions to Ren Shiyao, "Find a way to destroy the tree first. I will help you!"
The price Qi Lanqing paid for preventing the tree spirit from absorbing the earth veins was that the tree spirit could follow her spiritual connection and descend to Yunming City where her original body was.
When two evils meet, choose the lesser one.
Although the main consciousness of the tree spirit is nowhere to be found at this moment, the giant tree still stands in the city lord's mansion, exuding a strong sense of corruption and vigorous vitality.
"Master, the situation has become more difficult now. Uncle Qi just said that the spirit of the World Tree is still alive..." Ren Shiyao took out the communication jade slip to report the situation to the great elder with a worried look on her face.
Giant corrupt trees full of vitality stood tall and cast huge shadows on the ground. Half of the city was shrouded in the shade of the trees, as if even a falling leaf could crush her, a weak physical cultivator in the fusion stage.
Ren Shiyao took a deep breath, rushed towards the giant tree like an arrow from a bow, and swung her fist down with force.
What about the World Tree?
Just do it!
Disciples of Tianshui Sect never retreat when faced with difficulties!
Ren Shiyao's left hand was wrapped in spiritual power, emitting a shining glow, and the golden light of merit protected her body. She punched down, but the giant tree did not move at all, like an ant trying to shake a tree.
She was not discouraged. She raised her left hand high, clenched her fist with the prosthetic limb made of top-grade vibranium, and slammed it heavily on the giant tree under the shining golden light of merit, as dazzling as a scorching sun.
Punch after punch, Ren Shiyao's spiritual power was transmitted into the ground along with the vibration of the giant tree, and an even stronger response emerged from the ground.
It is the power that Qi Lanqing transmitted from the earth veins!
Ren Shiyao showed a look of delight and increased the frequency of her attacks.
The two forces collided, the giant tree trembled, and the leaves fell everywhere.
A big hole appeared on the thick trunk, and countless cracks spread in all directions under Ren Shiyao's fist, spreading all over the giant tree like lightning piercing through the clouds.
With a "crash", the huge body of the giant tree shattered like a mirror, and the fragments flew everywhere.
The disciples of Tianshui Sect, who had been prepared, did not need Ren Shiyao's orders. They immediately scattered and used their own methods to destroy the fragments of the giant tree.
Flames shot out in all directions, water dragons danced, talismans were cast, and formations were spread all over the place...
Various attacks were everywhere, and soon all the giant tree fragments that looked like falling snow were cleared away.
Ren Shiyao saw her left hand oozing blood and shook it nonchalantly to dry the blood on the back of her hand.
Suddenly, there was a crisp "click" sound. Ren Shiyao's heart trembled. She lowered her head carefully and saw that the vibranium right arm was broken into two pieces, with only a small piece of dream spider silk connecting the two parts.
Ren Shiyao's expression instantly became uglier than crying.
As Dan Xiu, Shen Musi and Xue Manni came to heal the injured Tianshui Sect disciples. They happened to see that Ren Shiyao’s left hand was still bleeding, and comforted her: “Don’t be sad, Senior Sister, your hand injury is not serious, and you will recover after a few days of recuperation.”
"What about my heartache?" Ren Shiyao asked.
Xue Manni was puzzled: "Are you injured internally? You can't be careless. My cultivation is not enough, so I will ask the senior sister to heal you."
With a "bang", the Dream Spider Silk broke, and the broken half of Ren Shiyao's right arm's vibranium prosthesis fell to the ground.
Ren Shiyao was heartbroken: "My hand!!!"
"It's here, it's here! Your hand is here!" Shen Muse hurriedly pulled her left hand, quickly applied hemostatic and muscle-growing ointment on it, and pulled it up to show Ren Shiyao, "Senior sister, look, it's back to normal!"
"I'm talking about my right hand! Do you know how expensive it is to refine top-grade vibranium? He Ziji, this black-hearted guy, charged me two million high-grade spirit stones for one refining session! And he even asked me to prepare the materials myself!" Ren Shiyao felt so heartbroken that she could hardly breathe when she thought about losing all the hard-earned money she had saved.
"The senior brother from Yanqi Peak is really evil-hearted." Shen Muse, who was also poor and liked to blow up magic weapons, immediately empathized with her, and took the opportunity to tell her a criminal plan that he had been thinking about for a long time, "After the war is over, let's blow up Yanqi Peak, right? Then we can rent our peak to them and make a hundred times more spirit stones from them!"
Ren Shiyao looked at him in surprise.
Good boy, you actually hate Yanqi Peak more than I do.
It’s too bad that Ren Shiyao was actually a little tempted and even wanted to nominate Shen Muse to become the new leader of Tianshui Sect.
