"Of course not!" Qing Teng struggled to suppress the blush on her face, turning "Red Vine" back into Qing Teng. Upon hearing this, she immediately patted her seemingly non-existent chest and said, "This is the only secret entrance to the valley besides the main entrance. Besides Master, only Sister Green Bamboo and I know about it!"
"oh oh……"
Shen Yunhao frowned as he continued to observe the situation in front of the bamboo fortress, feeling somewhat worried.
Where is Sister Li'er right now...?
...
"Enough! Stop with your low-class tricks!" the young girl Green Bamboo coldly rebuked from the side. "Do you think everyone is as shameless as you?"
"Shameless?" Bai Yang seemed to have heard something utterly ridiculous, and immediately let out a sinister laugh: "Do you know how much money has been spent in the valley over the years..."
"Where is the Poison Bone?"
However, the old man with the white beard didn't even spare a glance at Bai Yang, but simply looked at the empty space in front of him and said indifferently.
With red eyes, Bai Yang angrily retorted, "Old man, do you know how I've done all these years..."
"Hahaha! After all these years, it turns out someone still remembers my name!"
At that moment, a flash of black light appeared in mid-air, and an old man dressed in black robes emerged from the shadows, laughing loudly. He looked at the Tree Elder atop the Bamboo Fortress with an indifferent expression.
"Alas! If I hadn't been harmed by my traitorous disciple, I would never have taken a mere Void Soul Realm cultivator like you seriously!"
Feeling ignored, Bai Yang suddenly flew into a rage and said, "You old bastard, you really deserve it! I should have..."
"The master of Lingyou Valley is Shu Wuxin, a demon king of the Lingxu Realm! I have long admired your name, and this junior pays his respects!"
Just then, a carriage flew out from the black light behind Poison Bone, and a young man's voice came from under the canopy, sounding very gentle.
poplar:"……"
On the bamboo fortress, Shu Wuxin's expression darkened, and he frowned, saying, "This is... the Ghost Bone Chariot? Could you be the Poison Prince Teng Kui?"
"How could an unknown nobody possibly catch the attention of the Valley Master?"
The carriage doors opened naturally, revealing a man sitting inside.
The man was very young, in his early twenties, but he seemed somewhat weak, with a very pale complexion and an air of effeminacy.
"The infamous Poison Prince is no nobody... I didn't expect even you to come in person! Does the sect truly intend to provoke a war between the demon and monster factions?"
"Hehehe... Valley Master is really flattering me! The war between demons and monsters? I can't accept such a grand title!"
The Poison Prince's expression remained unchanged, his tone still indifferent: "This junior has come only to beg for the Azure Vein Crystal to save my father's life! I had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure. I beg for your forgiveness, Valley Master..."
"Hmph! You demonic sect members are as shameless as ever!" Green Bamboo couldn't help but get angry: "You poisoned my clansmen in the valley, intending to kill my people, and now you have the nerve to say such shameless things?"
"That is not true. I only have some cooperation with your eldest disciple. How could you say I plotted against him?"
"you……"
Green Bamboo was about to speak again, but Tree Heart waved his hand to interrupt him: "Alright! Now retreat, and I can let bygones be bygones; otherwise... you will all perish in this valley today!"
"It's not impossible for me to retreat, as long as the Valley Master is willing to part with the Azure Vein Crystal, I will not make things difficult for you..."
"Don't even think about it! The Azure Vein is the very foundation upon which my Spirit Nether Valley depends for its survival. How could I possibly hand it over to you?"
The Poison Prince remained silent, merely gazing calmly at the white-haired old man.
"Alas... it seems that Lingyou Valley cannot escape this calamity!"
"Hahaha! Old man, you're severely injured, your strength is less than one-tenth of what it used to be, and everyone in the valley is poisoned. How could you come with me... come with me..."
At this moment, the gates of the bamboo fortress opened, and hundreds of figures filed out of the fortress. Bai Yang, who was not far away, was filled with rage, wishing he could rush up and smash him to pieces...
Bai Yang's expression changed drastically: "How is this possible? The poison in all these people has been neutralized?"
At this moment, even the usually composed Poison Prince in the carriage above slightly turned his head to look down and frowned slightly.
He was very familiar with the poison he had administered, and it was practically impossible to cure it so quickly with normal antidotes.
Could it be...?
"Old man, you used the Azure Vein Crystal? That's absolutely impossible! Ninety percent of the Azure Vein has been sealed off; you couldn't possibly use its power!"
"Hmph! You should save those questions for the King of Hell!"
At this moment, Green Bamboo, atop Bamboo Fortress, leaped to the front of the fortress ranks, his bamboo spear flashing in his hand, and coldly shouted, "Bai Yang, today is your death day!"
After a moment of surprise, Bai Yang calmed down and clapped his hands with a cold smile. Several hundred figures rushed out from the woods behind him and stood behind him.
"So what if you're cured? Once the old man dies, what trouble can you rabble cause?"
Green Bamboo's expression was grave, not because of what Bai Yang had just said, but because of the group of demons behind Bai Yang.
Those are the original inhabitants of the valley!
"Do you really intend to follow this traitor and betray Spirit Valley?"
Behind Bai Yang, a group of people immediately hesitated.
Among them, some were Bai Yang's relatives, others came to surrender when things went wrong, and a small number were even coerced by Bai Yang through various means to stand on the opposite side of their own clan.
Fratricide is the last thing Tree Elder wants to see.
"Hahaha! Today, this old man is going to die. Even if I survive by chance by following you, what good will it do? Can I escape the Demonic Sect?"
Bai Yang laughed wildly, then gave the order: "Take down Green Bamboo Fortress, control the Green Vein, and the entire Spirit Nether Valley will be ours! Kill them!"
"kill!"
In an instant, a group of people behind him charged forward, shouting slogans. Green Bamboo had no choice but to lead his people in a defensive counterattack...
...
“I remember that your demon race can only transform into human form after reaching the Profound Soul Realm. Why do I feel that... there are quite a few of you in the Copper Skin Realm and Iron Bone Realm…”
Seeing the two sides fighting, Shen Yunhao couldn't help but ask.
Faced with Shen Yunhao's question, Qing Teng did not hesitate and explained directly: "It's because of the Green Vein... These people are all green plants in the valley, and they quickly develop intelligence due to the influence of the Green Vein! As long as they have a little talent, they can directly transform into human form after absorbing the power of the Wood element during the Body Refinement stage."
“No wonder…” Shen Yunhao had been expecting to see tree people fighting all over the ground, but he never imagined that they would all be wielding weapons and hacking at each other, which had a strong sense of going to war.
"No! I have to stand by their side! Brother Yunhao, you wait here. If... if we lose, you must leave through the secret door immediately!"
As he spoke, Qing Teng jumped out of the bushes, intending to run towards the battlefield.
