After reading the message, Luo Chen flew straight up to the general guarding the east gate.
"General, that demon tree is now at a high level of Earth Star. Let the guards retreat back to the city wall."
Although this general guarding the city met Luo Chen in person for the first time, it was obvious that Li Wenhao had given him some specific instructions in advance.
Otherwise, those deputy generals would not dare to change the tasks of the city guards without notifying the highest commander.
The handsome general obviously chose to trust the news brought by Luo Chen, and his voice exploded like thunder outside the city.
"All city guards, retreat."
All the city guards who received this order stopped what they were doing and began to retreat towards the city wall without hesitation.
The guardian angel rushed towards the Chaos Tree with the holy sword in his hand, but before he arrived, he was blocked by several vines hanging down from the trunk.
The black vines dance like long whips and ferocious poisonous snakes.
Even if the holy sword carrying holy light slashed on these vines, it would only leave a dent of a few inches.
However, the guardian angel is a beast that is good at defense, so no matter how ferociously the vines attack, they cannot break the guardian angel's defense.
When Ye Zhiqiu absorbed the blood essence and his aura rose layer by layer, attracting the attention of the guardian angel, Zheng Huo secretly headed away from the capital.
Only after making sure it was far enough away did it transform into a small purple jade spider, lying on the treetop, using its mental power to spy on the movements on the battlefield in the distance.
The black leaves transformed into flying blades and the vines transformed into long whips, continuously attacking the Guardian Angel. The ground in the center of the battlefield had sunk dozens of meters deep by the aftermath of the battle between the two.
The energy of the collision caused the snowflakes to fly wildly, and it was impossible to perceive the details of the battle without using mental power.
In fact, even if they use their mental power, a beastmaster whose realm is lower than the wild level cannot detect the mental power on the battlefield. Instead, he will suffer backlash due to the riot of energy.
Luo Chen, who was well aware that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall, turned around and flew towards the city wall after reporting the news to the general.
But the next second, a figure in white clothes and robes appeared from the Chaos Demon Tree. He just glanced at Luo Chen from a distance, and the space around Luo Chen seemed to freeze.
The figure in white patted the trunk of the Chaos Demonic Tree next to him, and his brows furrowed slightly on his handsome face.
"It seems like a half-finished product. Why is it based on the consciousness of the Chaos Demonic Tree?"
Then, images flashed through the eyes of the figure in white, as if he was reviewing what had just happened outside the city.
"Ye Zhiqiu, I didn't lie to you. It's your fault that you didn't absorb all the blood essence, and you didn't suppress the Chaos Demon Tree."
The black energy around the Chaos Demonic Tree surged, and the figure in white seemed to understand something. "Alright, how about I help you kill that guy and avenge you?"
As he spoke, a colorful circle appeared behind the figure in white, and a woman with a human body and a snake tail walked down from the circle.
It held different symbols in each hand, and bowed solemnly to the figure in white before turning into smoke and disappearing.
The figure in white then looked at Luo Chen, whose surrounding space was frozen, and said, "Hehe, now it's time to deal with the grudge between Zhuang Sheng and me."
He took a step forward and came to Luo Chen, looking at him carefully as if he were appreciating a beautiful jade.
"Little guy, your teacher raided my experimental base and destroyed and captured 3,432 of my test subjects.
Now it’s not too much to compensate with your life, right?
Oh no, look at this delicate little face. I suddenly don't want to kill you anymore. I want to take you back as my next test subject.
After all, old Zhuang Sheng has a good eye for choosing disciples. Maybe you can bring me some surprises, and then I'll throw you back.
I've already thought of a location. It's at the foot of Cunyou Mountain. I want to see if that old fellow Zhuang Sheng will sacrifice his own family for the sake of justice. It's really interesting, hahaha."
As he spoke, he pinched Luo Chen's shoulders, arms, thighs, and even his face, as if he was evaluating Luo Chen's talent.
Although Luo Chen was frozen in space, he still had some perception. The handsome man in white clothes was holding his body. Luo Chen had never been treated like this before. He was so angry that his eyes were wide open and he wished he could faint right now.
"Su Yuan, who allowed you to touch my apprentice?"
A voice came from the sky. At some point, the dark night sky was suddenly filled with stars, and the starlight shining from the sky all enveloped Luo Chen.
Illuminated by the starlight, Luo Chen immediately regained the ability to move.
Without any hesitation, Luo Chen controlled his body and quickly moved away from this handsome but abnormal man.
In front of Luo Chen, another ray of starlight gathered and gradually formed the appearance of Zhuang Sheng.
The man called Su Yuan by Zhuang Sheng looked at Zhuang Sheng in front of him with surprise and as if he had suddenly realized something.
"Haha, Zhuang Sheng, you only have this one beast left in the capital now. I didn't expect that it would choose to protect your little disciple.
Don't you care about the people in the capital?"
"I have protected these people for long enough. Life and death are determined by fate. This time, I want to protect my apprentice first."
For some reason, Zhuang Sheng actually answered Su Yuan's question so sincerely.
Su Yuan looked at Zhuang Sheng deeply, then glanced past Zhuang Sheng at Luo Chen behind him and said something without any context.
"You, kid, are much luckier than your senior brother."
Luo Chen looked at the teacher's back, which was generous and full of security, and wondered if his senior brother had also faced such a situation before.
It’s just that the teacher chose the people in the capital and gave up the eldest brother.
"Zhuang Sheng, you, a mid-level Earth Star Beastmaster, can't stop me. Today, you might not even be able to protect your little disciple and the people in the city."
Hearing this, Zhuang Sheng smiled easily and said, "You can give it a try."
Su Yuan flashed and appeared on the chaotic magic tree. No one knew how he controlled this chaotic and abnormal magic tree. A large mass of black air enveloped Zhuang Sheng.
And accompanied by tree roots piercing out from the ground.
This series of attacks was so powerful that it seemed as if they were going to tear Zhuang Sheng and Luo Chen into pieces.
Zhuang Sheng's expression remained unchanged as a few rays of starlight fell straight down from the sky.
The starlight seemed to have a purifying effect, shining on the black air, which rolled and gradually dissipated.
Facing the tree roots that suddenly attacked from under their feet, a broad leaf with star patterns on it appeared under the feet of Zhuang Sheng and Luo Chen.
The tree roots hit the round leaves, but Luo Chen didn't even feel the vibration of the impact.
This set of attacks did not have much effect, but Su Yuan, who was among the branches, did not look surprised.
"It seems you've trained this beast well. A mid-level Earth Star beast can actually hold its own against a high-level Earth Star beast. But what if there are two of them?"
