Just as the Monkey Clan elder was about to go over to check, Xia Tianqiong woke up.
He lost consciousness for a moment and then regained it just as quickly; the excruciating pain miraculously disappeared, as if it had never happened.
"What happened? Did you do this?"
Upon waking, the first person he suspected was the elder of the Monkey Clan.
The elder of the Monkey Clan was relieved to see that he was still alive.
Then, he snorted in dissatisfaction, "What nonsense are you spouting? We've already signed a human-master contract, how dare I touch you? Am I looking for death?"
Xia Tianqiong got up from the ground and carefully examined her body, but found nothing unusual.
"What happened? Are you sick?"
"I think you're definitely out of your mind!"
The elder of the Monkey Clan was angry and spoke very rudely to vent his dissatisfaction.
Xia Tianqiong didn't care about his attitude. She was thinking that when she returned to the human world, she would find a hospital to get checked out, just in case she got a brain tumor or something.
"Put away your eerie domain, it's time for us to leave."
"Um."
The old man of the Monkey Clan snorted a single word, and then the surrounding environment instantly dissolved, and the eerie domain was dispelled.
Xia Tianqiong reappeared in the forbidden area, still in the same spot, and looked up to see that towering tree again.
The old woman in the funeral clothes and the boy with glasses were still a step away, both with solemn and flustered expressions.
Seeing Xia Tianqiong reappear, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Yet they remained worlds apart, unable to get close no matter what.
Xia Tianqiong said irritably, "Did you do this? Put them back right now."
The Monkey Clan elder glared at him helplessly and explained, "I used the rules of the forbidden area to isolate them in another dimension. It's very simple for you to reunite."
The two people stand back to back, then step back simultaneously, and they will meet.
"Can't you just let them come over?"
"The spatial rules here are different from those outside. I can only utilize them to a limited extent and cannot completely control them. By the way, this is a secret of my clan, and only the clan elders can know it. You are not allowed to reveal it."
Xia Tianqiong didn't take those words seriously, but then suddenly remembered something, "By the way, where's the little trumpet? Where did you put it?"
The Monkey Clan elder looked at the giant tree in the distance and sighed, "I didn't want her to be bound to your contract, so I teleported her to the core area of the forbidden zone."
"Fool, I could have saved her, but so much time has passed, she would have been obliterated by the power of the rules long ago."
Xia Tianqiong felt a little regretful.
The little tree is so cute and silly, I was originally planning to sneak her away when I left!
Unfortunately, it's no longer available.
Next, Xia Tianqiong took out paper and pen, wrote down the method of reunion, and informed the old lady in the funeral clothes and the boy with glasses who could not communicate.
Then they reunited according to this method.
With two cunning generals by his side, Xia Tianqiong felt much more at ease.
He didn't rush to leave, but looked at the huge peach tree in the distance with great interest.
"Why did entering the tree hollow on the back of the sacred tree lead to this place?"
The old man of the Monkey Clan glared at him unhappily. "The contract stipulates that you cannot force me to do anything that would harm the Tree Ghost Clan. If I tell you, it would be a leak of secrets and would endanger our Tree Ghost Clan."
Xia Tianqiong didn't take it seriously and continued to ask, "Is this the space where the Sacred Tree was born?"
"..."
The elder of the Monkey Clan remained silent, as if he would rather die than say a word.
"That peach tree in the distance, in full bloom, looks a lot like the withered sacred tree outside. They are one, aren't they?"
"..."
Are there many treasures here?
"..."
"Is this place related to your clan's heritage?"
Regardless of whether the Monkey Clan Elder answered, Xia Tianqiong continued asking questions while observing the other party's expression.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you for telling me all this."
"I didn't say anything! Stop making wild guesses, okay?"
The elder of the Monkey Clan was immediately bewildered and quickly explained, "This place used to be a forbidden zone. Do you understand what a forbidden zone is? It's a very dangerous place where you'd die if you went in."
"Don't go and get yourself killed. Without the rune stump, even I would die inside if I got close to the core area. Get out of here quickly, time is running out."
Xia Tianqiong suddenly asked, "If there's a rune tree stump, we can easily enter the core, right?"
"right!"
What is in the core area?
"There are the remains of the Ghost King and..."
Halfway through his sentence, the Monkey Clan Elder suddenly realized what he was doing and cursed, "You fucking tricked me into telling you something!"
"It was just casual chatting, I didn't force you."
Xia Tianqiong looked at the Monkey Clan Elder with a half-smile, "Alright, let's leave here. We can come back another time."
"Hmph! You'll never have another chance in your life."
The old man of the Monkey Clan huffed and puffed out a sentence before walking away first.
With a wave of his hand, a spatial rift appeared out of thin air behind him, through which one could see the outside world.
Xia Tianqiong followed him into the crack, then left the space and appeared outside the Sacred Tree.
As soon as I came out, I saw the two elders, Yinshan and Taoyao, standing outside.
The two elders looked on with anticipation as they saw Elder Houkui and Xia Tianqiong emerge one after the other.
They had already sensed something when Xia Tianqiong first entered the forbidden area.
They rushed over and found that the entrance had been closed from the inside.
They immediately guessed that it was the Monkey Clan Elder who was behind it, and they also guessed that he wanted to use the special rules of the forbidden area to deal with Xia Tianqiong.
At first, I was very angry.
Because the elder of the Monkey Clan led people into the forbidden area without the consent of the other elders, this seriously violated the clan rules.
