Bluestone Square.
Tao Yao and Hou Kui were tied to two wooden stakes respectively.
They were both taken aback by Xia Tianqiong's words, then exchanged a glance before turning to look at him.
That look was like he was looking at a madman!
The elder of the Peach Blossom Clan still had a look of doubt in his eyes. "Are you sure? If you can't move the sacred tree, then let us go."
Xia Tianqiong nodded, "I always keep my word! We can sign the contract first and stipulate this clause: if I am unable to move the Sacred Tree, the contract will automatically become invalid."
The elder of the Peach Blossom Clan suddenly lowered his head and pondered, feeling that this bet was worth a try.
In her view, no one could shake the sacred tree, let alone move it.
Just as he was about to agree, the elder of the Monkey Clan suddenly shouted.
"No, he's cunning. This isn't the first time we've been taken advantage of. We absolutely can't agree to his demands. He might be setting a trap for us to fall into."
The elder of the Peach Blossom Clan hesitated, realizing that the entire Tree Demon Clan had been led by the nose by him all along.
But he was also very certain that no matter what, no matter who it was, it was impossible for them to move the sacred tree.
That was formed from the remains of the Ghost King, a priceless treasure coveted by countless powerful ghosts in the Ghost Realm!
If it could be moved, the Sacred Tree would have been out of the Tree Demon Clan's hands long ago.
Tao Yao looked at Hou Kui and said seriously, "I think we can give it a try. The sacred tree is unshakeable, so no matter how good he is at scheming, it's useless."
Monkey King suddenly fell silent.
Yes, the sacred tree is unshakeable; this person has no chance of succeeding.
While he hesitated and pondered, Xia Tianqiong smiled helplessly, "I really didn't dig a pit this time!"
"Hmph, I'll never trust you again! Someone as shrewd as you would never do something you're not sure of."
The elder of the Monkey Clan snorted coldly, then said to Tao Yao, "You bet with him, I won't bet."
Although I also believe the sacred tree is unshakeable, and although I don't believe he can move it, I simply won't gamble with him, and I won't give him even the slightest chance to win against me.
Seeing his resolute attitude, Xia Tianqiong didn't waste any more words.
He then signed a human-master contract with Tao Yao.
The contract clearly stipulates that it will only take effect if he moves the sacred tree. If he fails, the contract will be dissolved, and Tao Yao will be released unconditionally.
After signing the contract, we prepared to leave the mirror space.
Xia Tianqiong suddenly turned around, her expression calm, her tone revealing sincerity.
"Elder of the Monkey Clan, to be honest, I'm not entirely confident about moving your sacred tree, but I do have a method I'd like to try."
By the way, let's use this bet to resolve our relationship. We can't stay tied down like this forever! This is your only chance to leave, what a pity..."
After saying that, he left the mirror space with a flourish, leaving two clan elders looking at each other in bewilderment.
Hou Kui was in a particularly difficult position at this moment.
He suddenly became unsure whether his choice was correct.
"Is this human telling the truth?" Monkey King suddenly asked.
Tao Yao paused for a moment, then sighed, "It's too late to think about it now. I think he's a devil; he wants to destroy the principles you hold in your heart."
"So do you think he can or can't move the sacred tree?"
"It shouldn't be possible. Don't worry, once I leave, I will definitely find Brother Yinshan and the others to rescue you."
"I hope so!"
...
Xia Tianqiong left the mirror space, turned around and went to the other side of the withered tree, preparing to enter the forbidden area again.
The huge withered tree in front of us and the peach tree blooming in the forbidden area are actually one and the same; they are both sacred trees.
The withered thing on the outside is the physical body, while the thing blooming inside is the consciousness.
The information about the sacred tree came from Manager Hu.
A dozen minutes ago.
Xia Tianqiong took out the gold notes and sent a message to Manager Hu.
"Manager Hu, do you have any information about the Tree Demon Clan's forbidden area and the Sacred Tree?"
The other party replied very quickly.
"Mr. Xia, you are truly a talent. You joined forces with the Tree Demon Clan to destroy the Void Demon Clan, and now you're going to undermine the Tree Demon Clan's foundation. I really admire you!"
Instead of answering Xia Tianqiong's question, Manager Hu excitedly said the following.
Xia Tianqiong frowned, sensing that the other party seemed to know some inside information.
"Do you know something?"
"I know a little about your generous request, since our bank has specialized channels for collecting information. Putting that aside, we do have the information you requested. Would you like to use one of our service opportunities to exchange for the relevant information?"
"I'm sure, send it to me!"
Two or three minutes after I sent the message, a long voice message came back.
It details the origins of the Tree Demon Clan's forbidden area and the sacred tree, as well as some related information.
After listening to the voice message, Xia Tianqiong was immediately captivated by its content.
Just then, Manager Hu sent another message.
“Mr. Xia, you have already attracted the attention of some powerful figures. If you don’t want to run into trouble, leave the Ghost Realm as soon as possible! I know you have several Ghost Generals, but that’s not enough to allow you to run rampant in the Ghost Realm.”
Xia Tianqiong thought the other person must know something and wanted to ask for more details.
Manager Hu, however, was unwilling to explain.
It seems that those powerful figures who are paying attention to Xia Tianqiong are people that Manager Hu doesn't want to provoke.
"We need to get rid of the sacred tree quickly and then leave the Ghost Realm as soon as possible."
Xia Tianqiong made a decision in his heart, and then recalled the information he had just received, trying to find a way to deal with the Sacred Tree.
The message says that, supposedly, tens of thousands of years ago, an epic war took place in the realm of ghosts.
The Tree Demon Clan's only Demon King perished in that great battle!
A powerful being, not wanting his remains to regain sentience, sealed them away.
