Jiang Wuyuan suddenly turned around to look.
Xunwu was standing not far behind the group, smiling at him.
"Gentlemen, we meet again."
Jiang Wuyuan's heart tightened.
He hadn't sensed any trace of Xunwu's presence along the way, which showed that Xunwu's strength far surpassed his own.
But he could also sense that Xunwu meant him no harm.
Seemingly able to see through the mask to Jiang Wuyuan's wary expression, Xunwu smiled and said, "It's only because the two young masters saved me without asking for anything in return that I secretly followed them."
There are quite a few dangers in the Xuan Shui Forest, so maybe I can be of help.
Besides, didn't this already help?
As he spoke, he pointed to the seal, which had been cracked open.
The Bagua compass flew out of the crack and returned to his hand.
Jiang Wuyuan withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at him.
Mu Lingtang was quite shocked by Xun Wu's arrival, but hearing his familiar tone, he seemed to be an acquaintance of Jiang Wuyuan and Zhuang Yaoqing, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.
At this moment, all its attention was focused on the Wood Spirit King.
After a thousand years, it saw its king again.
Mu Lingtang was almost moved to tears.
Before Mu Lingtang could step forward, the tangled vines and branches within the seal rapidly spread and grew, peeking out from the cracks and slowly tearing apart the remaining seal bit by bit.
Buzz—
Suddenly, a light and cheerful voice reached my ears, like a gentle breeze, carrying joy and blessings, as if the entire forest was celebrating the return of the Wood Spirit King.
"That, that is!" Mu Lingtang couldn't help but widen her eyes, and the emerald green leaves on the vines that formed her limbs trembled slightly because of her excitement.
Beneath layers of peeling green leaves, a wood spirit, its body radiating light, opened its eyes.
In its arms was a miniature version of a wood spirit.
The little wood spirit swayed slightly with the Wood Spirit King's movements, but was quickly soothed by the Wood Spirit King and fell into a deep sleep again.
"The Wood Spirit Clan reproduces asexually?" Zhuang Yaoqing stood aside watching, his focus quite unusual.
However, Mu Lingtang was in no mood to respond to him at that moment.
The elderly Wood Spirit stepped forward and knelt directly at the feet of the Wood Spirit King: "Welcome back, Your Majesty! Welcome the birth of the young master!"
The Wood Spirit King has a handsome face, a light green complexion like that of the Wood Spirit race, a pair of warm brown eyes, and long green hair.
It is exceptionally tall, standing over three meters tall when upright.
However, its eyes were gentle, like a towering tree, tenderly sheltering all its people under its lush canopy: "No need for formalities, Atang."
As it spoke, a hint of sadness appeared on its face: "I'm sorry for leaving you to survive alone for so long."
The wooden spirit was helped up by a vine: "Thank you, my king."
"These three must be the distinguished guests who helped me break free from the seal. Thank you all." King Wood Spirit put his arm around Little Wood Spirit and smiled at Jiang Wuyuan and the other two. "After I sealed myself away, by chance, this little one was born."
However, it was very weak from birth, probably because I was exhausted from fighting those humans, and in the end I could only maintain its physical condition with the blood and qi in my body.
As a result, his cultivation level declined more and more severely, until he eventually lost his power and could no longer open the seal on his own.
A hundred years later, the little guy's condition improved considerably, and I began to slowly accumulate power.
However, without the help of the three, I'm afraid it would take me another hundred years to break the seal on my own.
When Mu Lingtang saw the little guy again, he had already guessed what had happened.
Upon seeing the birth of its young master, it was naturally overjoyed, but it still sighed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, those humans from the Phoenix Pavilion have not given up yet."
"Hmph." Upon hearing the words "Chaofeng Pavilion," the Wood Spirit King snorted coldly, clearly harboring resentment towards the sect that had trapped it in the seal for a thousand years.
However, its current strength is not at its peak, making it difficult to do anything to Chaofeng Pavilion.
Jiang Wuyuan didn't want to get involved in these guys' personal grudges. He always spoke his mind: "My friends and I came here because we had something to discuss with the Wood Spirit King."
King Muling smiled and nodded at him: "Please speak, young master. If I can do it, I will certainly grant your request."
"Wood Spirit Liquid," Jiang Wuyuan asked seriously, "How much do you have?"
Upon hearing this, the Wood Spirit King and the Wood Spirit Hall exchanged bewildered glances.
Seeing their reaction, Zhuang Yaoqing's heart tightened: "What's wrong? Is there some difficulty?"
“That’s not it.” Mu Lingtang paused, then finally chose to ask the question that had been bothering him, “Where did you hear that only our King possesses the Wood Spirit Elixir?”
"Isn't that right?" Jiang Wuyuan thought of Senior Feng Zhang's words and felt somewhat puzzled.
“That is indeed the case. Wood Spirit Liquid is extremely precious, and our king can only produce less than ten drops every thousand years,” Wood Spirit explained. “However, our king does not need to store the Wood Spirit Liquid himself; the Wood Spirit Clan has a special storage location.”
In other words, they don't actually need to rescue the Wood Spirit King to get the Wood Spirit Liquid?
That's really...
But since we've already come this far, other issues aren't that important anymore.
"Since the beginning of our Wood Spirit Clan, the storage of Wood Spirit Liquid has never ceased," the Wood Spirit King said with a smile. "I wonder how much the young master needs? The young master has done a great service to my Wood Spirit Clan. As much as you wish, as long as my Wood Spirit Clan can afford it, it is all we can provide."
Remembering the nature of this secret realm, Jiang Wuyuan made an outrageous demand: "All of it."
There's no point in keeping them in the secret realm anyway, so it's better to give them to the soldiers of the Dragon Kingdom.
