Su Ruoruo no longer had the strength to curse.
Her body trembled inexplicably; her remaining spiritual power was only enough to keep her conscious.
She noticed that the Towering Tree didn't attack the cultivator. Why? On what grounds?
Su Ruoruo's eyes were filled with gloom, and the black aura surrounding her gradually faded. The moment the black protective shield became completely transparent, Su Ruoruo felt her spiritual power being rapidly devoured.
She panicked completely, but her voice was hoarse and she didn't even have the strength to shout.
"Help, help..."
Zheng—
As a familiar zither melody rang out, the man in purple robes gracefully descended from the back side of the roots of the Towering Tree.
As if sensing his presence, the roots of the towering tree immediately extended vines towards the man, but they were driven back inch by inch by his music.
Snap, snap, snap!
The sound of vines bursting open rang out one after another.
The towering tree seemed to be locked in a contest with Pei Yan. Even though its vines would be attacked and broken whenever they stretched out, its thick, dark green vines continued to grow and spread uninterruptedly.
Over there, the vines on Su Ruoruo's body exploded.
She fell from mid-air to the ground.
Pei Yan was busy dealing with the vines and had no time to catch her.
"Are you awake? If you are, let's go!"
The man's voice carried a hint of urgency.
He could only hold off the Sky Tree temporarily.
The clear, resonant sound of the zither echoed continuously in the dimly lit space, and Su Ruoruo's fingers twitched.
She struggled to her feet, and the moment she heard the music, she knew who had saved her.
Su Ruoruo quickly ran to the entrance of the space, and when she looked back, she could vaguely see that purple figure.
Zheng—
The sounds of the zither and the cracking of the vines mingled together. Su Ruoruo's heart tightened, and she fled without looking back.
Sensing that Su Ruoruo's presence was gone, Pei Yan's eyes turned fierce. His well-defined fingers manipulated the Fuxi Qin, creating dazzling afterimages.
Finally, the man blasted a long passage through the space that was almost completely filled with vines.
Pei Yan quickly escaped through the passage.
Protecting Su Ruoruo was his mission.
That person once said that when he met someone who could make the Spirit Pearl fluctuate, he would protect him/her.
Bang!
The towering tree seemed to have been angered by Pei Yan, and its green vines chased him all the way to the exit.
The man, who slowed down due to his relaxed pace, was instantly struck in the back.
Pei Yan spat out a mouthful of blood and was then thrown far away.
Outside the space beneath the roots of the Sky-Reaching Tree is a sunken pit.
Su Ruoruo had already disappeared without a trace.
Pei Yan was already weak due to the depletion of his spiritual power. After being attacked by the divine tree with anger, he fainted while holding his zither.
Buzz!
A figure in green suddenly appeared.
As if realizing he had stepped on something, he looked down.
The first thing that catches the eye is the broken back of the purple-clad man lying down. A corner of his zither is visible, and a spirit pearl is wrapped in the center of the tassel hanging from the end of the zither.
The man in blue paused in his movement as he was about to leave.
A soft sigh came from behind him. Pei Yan's cheeks were pinched, and a pill was stuffed into his mouth.
The hands then moved to his neck, the force causing his neck to tilt upwards in a slight arc.
The pill was swallowed just like that.
Almost the instant the pill entered his throat, the wounds exposed by the purple-clad man's torn clothes visibly healed.
Pei Yan's fingertips twitched slightly.
The man stood up, a hint of relief flashing across his handsome face.
If he hadn't appeared just in time, this man's life would have been in grave danger.
