The Han Guang Sword is no ordinary weapon; it is rumored to be an evil sword, and all its previous wielders have met violent ends. Although Yu Qi informed him that the Han Guang Sword was needed to destroy the tree, he also warned Yue Wuyi that he was not allowed to use it again after this incident.
Xia Yize and Yue Wuyi nodded. Xia Yize then took the Ganlu Pot, activated its power to the maximum extent, and threw it at the demon tree.
Layers of blue-green light emanated from the Ganlu Ding, and the demonic energy on the demon tree paused, revealing its emerald green yet ferocious tree trunk.
In the blink of an eye, Yue Wuyi drew his sword, Han Guang, and charged forward like lightning. A dazzling golden light burst forth from Han Guang as he raised it high above his head and slashed it down diagonally!
As easily as cutting a piece of tofu, the entire demon tree was struck by the sword, shuddered suddenly, and in the next moment it collapsed into four pieces, turning into ashes and disappearing without a trace.
The remaining power of the Dew-like energy, carried by the airflow from the collapsing demon tree, drifted leisurely throughout the village, like a shower of light. The frenzied villagers gradually stopped what they were doing, their faces blank, completely unaware of what had happened. After a moment, they slowly recalled what had occurred, and with a desperate shout, they rushed off to check if their loved ones were alright.
In an instant, the open space in the center of the village was completely empty.
Le Wuyi used the Han Guang stick to stand on the ground, half-kneeling and almost unable to get up, panting like someone who had just been rescued from drowning. Xia Yize, standing to the side, was in no better shape.
"Hoo-ha...hoo-ha...Yi, Yize, hoo-ha...how...how are you?"
"Hoo... It's alright... Hoo... I just need to adjust my breathing a little..."
Long Xun silently stepped forward, and just as a silver light appeared on his outstretched hand, a figure blocked his way—it was Yu Qi.
Yu Qi had been floating in the air, but as he got closer to Long Xun, he consciously lowered his body and placed his feet on the ground.
"They're fine, why waste your spiritual energy? If your spiritual energy is exhausted and your clones dissipate, how will your main body fare?" Yu Qi looked up at Long Xun, arms crossed, his tone harsh: "Just let them recover on their own! They're so weak after just one moment... The younger generation is useless these days, each generation is worse than the last, why bother with such a small matter?"
“Hey…hoohoo…you…” Yue Wuyi didn’t even have the energy to be angry with him.
Long Xun lowered his silver eyes, glanced at the boy who only reached his chest, silently walked around him, and came to stand in front of Xia Yize and Yue Wuyi. Silver light emanated from his hands, enveloping the two of them.
A moment later, the two men's complexions improved significantly. Long Xun withdrew his hands, but he did not become any more transparent.
It's just a little bit of spiritual energy, nothing to worry about.
"Uncle Long, thank you so much!"
"Thank you, senior."
Yu Qi snorted coldly and simply returned to the Han Guang Sword.
Wenren Yu had already checked the situation in the village. Although some of the villagers had recovered, their condition was not very good. Many were still in a daze, and some had regained some consciousness, but they were still far from being normal.
Wenren Yu said, "Senior Long, you know a lot about the Soul-Severing Grass. Do you know its origin?"
Shao Gong said, "It would be better if I explained this matter. The Soul-Severing Grass is a branch of the Jumu tree in Liuyue City. In the past, Liuyue City was invaded by a demon, and the demonic energy permeated the Jumu tree. Later, the Jumu tree lost its vitality and gradually withered. Liuyue City is high in the sky, and some of the broken branches fell to the ground and became the Soul-Severing Grass. Its demonic energy can cause ordinary people to gradually lose their five senses and become walking corpses."
Wenren Yu exclaimed in surprise, "Liuyue City... inner demons...?"
Xia Yize said, "This concerns ancient gods and demons, and we are afraid we can't get involved. It would be best to notify the major sects as soon as possible."
"...No..." Yue Wuyi had already stood up. He was still a little out of breath, but his expression was extremely firm: "Those gods and demons...they sound very powerful. Compared to them, we are indeed very weak, but those common people are even weaker than us...Next time I encounter something like this...I will still intervene! Otherwise, what will happen to those common people?"
Upon hearing this, Long Xun couldn't help but look at him.
Human beings are always so amazing. Among them are all kinds of wicked people, but there are also people whose entire lives seem to be shining.
Despite being so young, she already possesses such awareness in dealing with people and situations.
Just moments ago, Yue Wuyi had maintained a resolute demeanor, but upon seeing him, he blushed instantly and stammered like a silly boy, "Uncle Long... why are you looking at me like that?"
"You're very good." Long Xun nodded slightly at him.
Just then, a flurry of pink petals drifted down from the sky, and a young man in green robes appeared amidst this overwhelmingly girlish light. He slowly landed on the ground, leisurely stroking his gleaming black hair, which he had washed countless times, while sighing, "These mortals... as expected, it takes me, Yu Feng, the Grand Priest of the Dragon Blessing City, to save your lives..."
Yue Wuyi: "..."
Wenren Yu: "..."
Xia Yize: "..."
Shao Gong, who had initially intended to greet Yu Feng upon seeing him, immediately shut his mouth, afraid that others would know he knew this incredibly narcissistic guy, which would lower his own standards and intelligence.
Priests Mingquan, Bingyan, and others, who had deliberately arrived a step late to avoid being enveloped in his pink petal halo, were exasperated. Looking at the dragon-horned, silver-haired god Zhulong, who was staring at them expressionlessly with a faint silver light emanating from his body, and the god's adopted son with a smile and meaningful eyes, they felt a little overwhelmed.
