Li Xiaozhu scratched her head: "Well... I don't really know either..."
Gan Long immediately stood up, grinning sheepishly, and said, "Yes, yes, yes! That's him! Don't let his youth fool you, he's the one who captured those three high-level superhumans last night!"
"Able to capture three high-level transcendent beings." Xun Liang, the head of the Confucian school, nodded slightly and stroked his white beard: "I didn't expect that the Chu Kingdom would have such a young genius. No wonder he was able to wander all the way from the destroyed Chu Kingdom to here without being killed by demons."
Linna: "No problem, no problem."
Xun Liang asked, "What is your level?"
Linnaeus: "Level 6."
Xun Liang: "???"
Others: "???"
Seeing the strange expressions on everyone's faces, Lin Nai had no choice but to explain, "When I was a child, I had an illness that made it difficult for me to level up, so I've been stuck at the same level. But as I cultivate, my attributes will continue to improve; it's just that I can't learn higher-level skills."
"There's actually such a strange disease?" Li Fei of the Legalist school looked puzzled. "I've never heard of it before."
“Emma… Perhaps it’s a rare disease in the Chu Kingdom; it’s normal that we haven’t heard of it,” said Zhiqing, the head of the Buddhist sect.
Xun Liang nodded, then asked Lin Nai, "However, you don't have high-level skills, yet you defeated three level 20+ superhumans, which is quite impressive. So, what would your actual strength be, calculated from your attributes?"
Lin Nai thought for a moment and said, "It's probably around level 20+."
Mo Gong, an elder of the Mo family, snorted coldly and said, "But is it really okay to let such a person of unknown origin into the shelter so easily? A low-level superhuman of level 6 actually defeated three high-level superhumans. Such a fact is really suspicious."
Elder Li Fei of the Fa family also said, "I also think this is too careless. How can we just let two strangers in?"
Ganlong quickly said, "Well... I don't think this young man will have any problems. He truly did save one of our Night's Watchmen..."
“Even so, it could still be a conspiracy.” Li Fei stood up and walked straight to Lin Nai: “I think it’s better to be safe and confirm it.”
"Whether this young man is one of us or not, I'll find out by using my soul-searching technique."
Xun Liang hesitated: "Soul Searching Technique...isn't that a bit inappropriate? Your Soul Searching Technique can damage the brain of the target?"
“There’s nothing we can do about it. It’s for the safety of everyone at the shelter.” Li Fei looked at Lin Nai and said, “Young man, don’t blame me.”
He slowly raised his hand, and a pale blue light gathered in his palm.
Linna looked at him calmly, seemingly without any intention of resisting.
His eyes were calm and still, like a tranquil, deep blue sea.
'What...is this feeling...?'
Li Fei's heart skipped a beat.
His arm, imbued with blue soul energy, trembled slightly.
The young man in front of me clearly did nothing.
I didn't sense him unleashing his soul power.
Why do I feel a sense of fear when I look into his eyes?
Looking into Lin Nai's unfathomable eyes, Li Fei felt completely paralyzed...
"No need." At that moment, another voice came.
Cha Yizhou walked in from outside and said calmly, "I can also vouch for him. This young man is fine. I already verified his identity when I was outside. Otherwise, I wouldn't have agreed to let Tang Hongshan bring him in."
"Is that so...?"
Xun Liang nodded: "Since you say so, Mr. Tea, then there's no problem. Li Fei, you can put your hand down now."
"Uh, okay..." Li Fei slowly withdrew his hand, a bead of cold sweat appearing on his forehead.
This young man...
Is his strength really only level 6?
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you." Xun Liang looked at Lin Nai: "By the way, what's your name?"
Lin Nai: "My name is Zheng Longhai."
"Okay, from now on you can just call me Old Xun."
"good."
"Once you come here, as long as you follow the rules, you'll be part of the family. We'll have to look after each other, because these days it's not easy for anyone to have a stable 'home'."
Master Xun sat down again: "By the way, you said you are from the State of Chu. What is the situation like in your State of Chu?"
“It’s long gone.” Lin Nai casually made up a story: “I’ve been away from the Chu Kingdom for a long time, and I don’t know what it’s like now. The towns where I used to live have all gone mad and been corrupted by demons.”
Elder Xun: "Is that so... has that area also been covered by the spores of the Demon Tree?"
Linnaeus asked in confusion, "The spores of the Demon Tree?"
What is that?
“Those purple fungi in the wilderness,” said Elder Xun. “Those purple variant demonic plants are spores scattered by the Demon Tree, which fall to the ground and grow. According to the prophecies in the ancient books, this should only be the initial form of the apocalyptic plants, and there should be more demonic plants appearing in the future.”
Linnaeus pondered.
The Demon Tree?
This was the first time he had ever heard of such a thing.
What is that?
The night beside her flickered slightly in the eyes.
She clearly knows something.
Lin Nai squeezed her little hand and asked, "Wan... no, Xuan'er, do you know about the Demon Tree?"
"Hmm..." Ye Wan'er hesitated, "Yes."
"Oh?" Old Xun looked at Ye Wan'er curiously: "Has this young lady seen the Demon Tree before?"
“I’ve never seen it.” Night’s expression was serious. “But I know that it was originally the Tree of Life in the Demon Realm, and the ancestors of all the demon races today were born from this tree.”
"That's right, indeed." Elder Xun nodded. "Ever since the Demon Realm was torn apart and the Demon Race split up, the Demon races have never been united again. They have been filled with hatred and infighting for hundreds of millions of years... The hatred between many Demon races is far greater than their hatred for us humans. But three years ago, they suddenly united overnight and launched a massive offensive against the human plane, which is truly puzzling. It's as if a powerful being was leading them from behind."
Lin Nai asked in confusion, "The Demon Realm is torn apart?"
Night slowly said, "Hundreds of millions of years ago, the Demon Realm was actually connected. At that time, the Demon Race could even contend with the God Race civilization. However, after the Demon Lord Di Xiu, who ruled the Demon Realm, was killed by the judgment of the gods, the energy released by the explosion of his body directly shattered the entire Demon Realm into pieces, which became the various planes occupied by the Demon Race now."
