His silver eyes were calm and deep, with a touch of nonchalant languor in their indifference, like a high god looking down upon all living beings. His appearance was exceptionally handsome, beyond words, surpassing the limits of human imagination.
Xia Yize stood there silently, his gaze fixed on Long Xun.
Unbeknownst to him, Shao Gong glanced at him discreetly from beside him, then gave a meaningful smile.
Le Wuyi stared blankly at Long Xun for a long time, a suspicious blush appearing on his face. He stammered, "Grandpa Long... no, Senior Long... oh dear... I feel... it makes you sound old..."
Wenren Yu snapped out of his daze and quickly said, "I apologize for my rudeness."
Long Xun silently shook his head.
Xia Yize took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and spoke without any apparent abnormality: "Senior Long... since you are a dragon, then... is it true that you and Shao Gong were searching for the Jumu?"
Since it's a dragon, and such a powerful divine dragon at that, were the things you said before true?
Long Xun nodded slightly and pointed to the demon tree behind him: "A branch of the Jumu tree, what Shao Gong and I are looking for."
"Master Long... Master Long... Oh, I'll just call you Uncle Long! Uncle Long, are you saying that you and Shao Gong are actually looking for this demon tree? But if what Yu Qi said is true, you're so strong, you should be able to destroy them all easily, right?" Yue Wuyi asked, puzzled.
"Ignorance!" Before Long Xun could speak, Yu Qi interrupted, "You are unaware of the terrifying power of Zhulong, which is why you spoke so rudely. The person standing before you is merely a wisp of Zhulong's consciousness, a clone formed from his spiritual energy! If Zhulong's true form were to emerge, this entire world would likely crumble and be destroyed. He is unable to handle many matters in this clone. If my observation is correct, he must have expended a great deal of spiritual energy beforehand, which is why his form is different from ordinary people and displays a translucent quality."
"Ah? Uncle Long, are you alright?" Yue Wuyi asked anxiously.
Long Xun shook his head and said slowly, "It's alright."
Shao Gong apologized, "I am very sorry. My godfather's identity is extraordinary, and I have concealed it along the way. In fact, my godfather does not approve of this. If you have any complaints, please blame me."
Wenren Yu quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no... Senior Long's identity is... astonishing, I can understand if he tries to conceal it."
Yue Wuyi then asked, "Uncle Long, do you have any way to kill this demonic tree? Since you and Shao Gong have been searching for it, you should have a way to eliminate it, right?"
In fact, Long Xun doesn't actually have a clone. The people of Longyou City just rush to bring the Jumu tree branches to Longyou City. Long Xun doesn't know what they plan to do to eliminate the demonic energy.
Yu Qi said, "His clone is helpless. This demonic tree exudes demonic energy, but its inner layer contains a thin layer of divine power. How can spiritual power shake it? Han Guang can barely be considered a divine sword, so it can break this tree. White-faced boy, your Taoist skills are not bad. You might as well use the power of the Sweet Dew Bell to temporarily drive away the demonic energy. As for you—" He looked at Le Wuyi and said, "When the demonic energy creates an opening, you should use your full strength to cut this tree down with one sword."
"However... there is only one chance. If it fails, the power of the Sweet Dew Bell will be exhausted, and this tree will be beyond help."
