Mu Lao seemed extremely angry at Ji Yang's disdainful words.
This was something he had obtained with great difficulty, but it was so insignificant in Ji Yang's mouth. This was not only a mockery of him, but also a blow to his hard work.
Sensing that his own blood river was becoming weaker, the anger on Mu Lao's face quickly disappeared. He gradually began to accept the fact and made a new decision.
“Crack.”
As the abnormal sound rang out, several roots under the blood-colored ancient tree broke at the same time, preventing Ji Yang from absorbing.
However, in just a few moments, most of the blood in his river of blood had been gone, and even the blood color on the bloody ancient tree had become much dimmer.
But Ji Yang's roots had no intention of giving up, and soon extended towards the body of the blood-colored ancient tree.
Seeing this, Mu Lao looked flustered.
Without the support of the Blood River, how could he be a match for Ji Yang?
Having already lived for a thousand years, he does not want to disappear quietly from this world.
The next moment, Mu Lao spoke hurriedly:
"Stop it. If you come over here again, I will finish this guy off."
"As long as I move my consciousness, he will die on the spot!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the roots below also stopped moving forward.
After sensing this situation, Mu Lao sneered. If Ji Yang killed him, it would be equivalent to killing the tribe members he was protecting with his own hands.
In this way, he wondered which tribe member would dare to worship the family sacred tree that killed his own family members!
He was not going to continue with his previous plan at the moment. As long as he could leave this place safely, he still had a chance.
"Really? That's great!"
Without waiting for Ji Yang to speak, Chen Qingcheng on the side could no longer contain the joy in his eyes and spoke hurriedly.
"Boy, you still want to deceive me? I won't be fooled! If your totem dares to take action, I will kill you immediately!"
Chen Qingcheng shook his head slightly:
"Mr. Mu, you and I have been together for such a long time, why should I lie to you about this matter? Being able to die for the family is a blessing for the clan members. Not only me, I believe other clan members also think so."
"Besides, I think Elder Mu should know something about the power of our clan's sacred tree. Moreover, our clan also has a secret method to sacrifice and refine the body. If we die, one person can contribute twice as much power to the clan. No matter how you look at it, it's a win."
After hearing Chen Qingcheng's explanation, Mu Lao's face instantly turned ugly.
With his ability, he could naturally sense the other souls in the ancestral hall. Before possessing it, he had also witnessed the strange magical powers of this totem, which was why he wanted to replace it.
The corpses placed in the coffins in the rooms of the ancestral hall are also clearly visible.
Even the coffin was moved from him!
In other words, killing Chen Qingcheng would not only fail to weaken his family's power, but would also make the Chen family even stronger in disguise.
Thinking of this, Mu Lao felt as if he had swallowed a thousand flies.
This family is so disgusting!
I can't kill him, and I can't beat him either. It's difficult to escape now.
"Old Mu, give up. If you are willing to surrender and pledge allegiance to our sacred tree, I can ask the sacred tree to let you go. You and I have been together for such a long time, and we still have a friendship."
Seeing Mu Lao's dazed look, Chen Qingcheng began to persuade him.
"Humph, boy, you still want to deceive me even now. Even if I die, I will never be loyal to your clan's sacred tree!"
Just as Mu Lao was about to fight to the death, Ji Yang's voice soon came to his ears:
"He is right. You and I are of the same kind, and there is no irreconcilable contradiction between us. You have made great contributions to our clan. If you are willing to make some promises, it is not impossible to discuss it."
Mu Lao, who was ready to fight to the death just now, suddenly changed his expression:
"Are you serious?"
Ji Yang did not answer, but the roots below slowly retracted and fell silent.
Mu Lao also fell into deep thought. It was impossible for him to swear allegiance, but if it was just a few promises, he could agree to it.
After thinking it through, Mu Lao sneered:
"I guess you want to know the ancient Blood River Sect's skills and other combat techniques, right?"
As an old fox who has survived for a thousand years, he certainly knows his own value. Even though the Xuehe Sect has long since declined, things from ancient times always have some merits. For a small family like this, they are a temptation that is hard to refuse.
Perhaps, he can also rely on this and proceed step by step.
But Ji Yang's answer afterwards made him stunned.
"The skills and combat techniques left over from the ancient times may indeed have some uses, but times have changed and it is still unclear whether they are suitable for the family now. For example, the extremely vicious method you mentioned before also requires the resources of ferocious beasts in the blessed land, and I think this method should have some other disadvantages."
Mu Lao's complexion changed slightly:
"What do you want?"
Ji Yang's consciousness soon brought the answer.
After hearing Ji Yang's story, Mu Lao directly refused:
"That's impossible! I'm not interested in it!"
But when the underground roots began to extend again, Mu Lao's face changed slightly:
"Except for this matter, everything else can be discussed!"
Seeing that the roots did not stop, Mu Lao sighed:
"I agree to this."
But there is a lot of helplessness in the words when facing power.
"That's great."
After a period of silent communication between the two sides, Mu Lao's expression kept changing, but in the end he had to compromise.
When the deal was done, the blood-colored ancient tree began to wither quickly, and finally turned into a blood-colored rhizome and floated into Chen Qingcheng's sleeves.
At the same time, instructions from the sacred tree came into Chen Qingcheng's mind.
"Master Shenshu, I understand."
Chen Qingcheng looked delighted, then turned and left the ancestral hall. At the same time, a familiar voice sounded in his mind again.
"You damned boy, all of this is a conspiracy of your people!"
Chen Qingcheng chuckled and did not refute.
Above, looking at the more than 700 points of blood and more than 100 points of spiritual power that he had just absorbed, Ji Yang felt happy.
This is a real power bank that can be recycled.
If this old man Mu were to be dealt with, the blood river would probably not be preserved. At most, it would allow Ji Yang to absorb more blood and spiritual power points.
But now Ji Yang’s demand for these two things is not as great as before.
However, keeping this spiritual object from ancient times would be of greater help to the family.
The first of these is naturally the skills and combat techniques of the Blood River Sect and other secret techniques in his mind. Although they may not be of much help to the family, they can be applied to other cases. The more of these things the better.
The extremely cruel method that Mu Lao had taught Chen Qingcheng before did have its drawbacks. Using this method to temper the body would damage the warrior's foundation and shorten his lifespan.
But this is not a big problem for Ji Yang.
It is even of great help to the family, because this method can allow the family members to improve their realm faster when they are in the Body Tempering Stage.
The only problem is that it requires the use of the unique ferocious beast resources in the blessed land, which is a difficult problem for the family today.
