Chapter 310: Demonic Seals
In the spacious conference room, several figures were sitting at the top, listening to the report from the spy in the center of the hall.
“Since Dao Zong has already taken action against the demon ape, the ancient Xianyuan tree may have been discovered as well.” Sitting at the head of the group, the man in a black robe sighed and took a sip of hot tea.
"Should we still take action?"
"Whether to take action or not, it's best to decide quickly. Otherwise, when the news of the ancient tree gets back to Dao Sect, the ones who come to support us won't be disciples anymore."
“It is not difficult to seize the ancient tree from those disciples, but if there are no tree species in the ancient tree, wouldn’t it be a waste to offend Dao Sect?”
"Okay, everyone, be quiet." After listening to almost everyone, the man waved his hand to interrupt the discussion.
"Based on the speed of those disciples, it will take five days to fly from the Blood Rock Land to Dao Sect. It will take at least seven or eight days for Dao Sect's masters to arrive. Let's hide around the mine first. If tree species appear within six days, we will take action immediately. If we still can't see them on the seventh day, we will retreat directly."
After he finished speaking, he looked around, and seeing that no one objected, he nodded and took another sip of tea, with some expectation and desire in his eyes.
If he could obtain the seeds of the ancient Xianyuan tree, he could use this merit to join the Yuan Sect, and then he would no longer be wanted...
At noon four days later, Ying Huanhuan and others sat cross-legged around the ancient tree and practiced silently. The other disciples were also carrying out their daily patrols as usual, but Lin Changqiang was nowhere to be seen.
Not long after, a slight tremor suddenly came from the treetops. When they looked up, they saw that the five fruits had turned red and glowing. Waves of energy spread like water waves, emitting astonishing fluctuations.
Are there any tree species?
A look of nervousness appeared on everyone's face. As they watched, the five fruits continued to vibrate like little suns, and even the ground beneath their feet was shaking slightly.
The next moment, the tree trunk shook violently, and all the fruits immediately fell off the branches and fell downwards. Ying Huanhuan put them into her Qiankun bag with a wave of her hand. However, the people present did not care at all, and just stared at the tree trunk without blinking.
After the fruit fell off, the vibrations coming from the tree did not weaken at all. Rich vitality emanated from its interior, making the five people around it feel comfortable. After a few seconds, a green light suddenly bloomed from the tree, becoming even more dazzling.
"Xianyuan tree species!"
Seeing the green light, several people were so surprised that they couldn't express it in words. The Xianyuan Ancient Tree suddenly trembled and shot out a thick beam of light straight into the sky, which was clearly visible within a radius of hundreds of miles!
Several people exchanged glances and nodded, and Yuan Fang sent out a series of voice messages to summon the disciples here.
As time passed, the light column gradually dissipated, and a round tree species broke away from the branch and was sucked into Ying Huanhuan's palm. Rich vitality emanated from it. Although it was not as magnificent as the initial air column, it appeared more refined.
The original Xianyuan ancient tree dimmed in an instant, and the entire trunk was like cold steel. Lin Dong took a few steps forward and shattered the surrounding ground, revealing the dark roots inside.
He bent down, stretched out his hand, grabbed the thickest root and pulled hard, but was surprised to find that the ancient tree did not move at all. It was not until he gradually increased his strength, and even some dragon scales appeared on his arms, that the tremendous force completely pulled out the tree.
Lin Dong swung the tree trunk a few times, and deafening sonic booms exploded one after another. It hit the ground again, creating a huge deep pit.
“This tree trunk is indeed quite suitable as a weapon!” Lin Dong couldn’t help but grin and looked at the other four people, “Everyone, let’s do as we said before. I don’t want the reward for this mission or the Immortal Yuan Fruit. Just give me this tree trunk.”
“Just accept it. Among the four halls of our Dao Sect, Hall Hong has always been the strongest. But even Yuan Ye can’t make good use of this ancient tree trunk. Only you and Lin Changqiang can use it.” Jiang Kun waved his hand nonchalantly. Yuan Ye on the side also nodded. Seeing this, Lin Dong no longer hesitated and put the ancient tree into his Qiankun bag with a wave of his hand. Then he and the four of them waited silently.
Not long after, the nearest patrol disciples arrived one after another. More than a dozen high-level Nirvanas gathered together. Under normal circumstances, they would be a considerable fighting force. However, at this moment, everyone had solemn expressions, staring from afar at the figure that had appeared in the air in the distance at some point in time.
"They are from the Demon Seal Clan." Yuan Fang's voice sounded in everyone's ears.
The Demonic Seals were an upper-tier force in the entire Blood Rock Land. Their leader, Yao Ling, had even reached the Ninth Level of Nirvana and was ranked fourth on the sect's wanted list.
"Su Lei, this is our Dao Sect's territory, what are you doing here?"
Yuan Fang flew into the air, and Lin Dong and others hurriedly followed. For a moment, dozens of people from both sides were confronting each other, and the atmosphere was tense.
"What do you think?" The man named Su Lei in front of the dozen figures showed disdain, "Yuan Fang, stop pretending. Do you really think that everyone else is blind? The beam of light just now was so conspicuous, it was exactly the same as the scene of the birth of the Immortal Yuan Tree in the records!"
"Hand over the Immortal Yuan Tree seeds now, and I can let you go. If you don't, expect a river of blood to flow!"
"Arrogant." Yuan Fang stared at Su Lei with cold eyes, "You are stealing our Dao Sect's things, aren't you afraid that you may live to rob but not to spend them?"
"Tsk, as long as we get the Immortal Yuan Tree seeds and take your heads to join the Yuan Sect, then even if it's the Dao Sect, what can it do?"
Hearing this, Yuan Fang looked at Su Lei deeply and said no more. But the strange thing was that seeing this scene, Su Lei did not take action immediately, but just waited quietly.
In this silence, figures flew in one after another from the distant sky, and then stopped around to look at everyone suspiciously. The hundreds of disciples in the mining area finally gathered together in a black mass.
"Senior Sister, who do you know?" Ying Huanhuan looked at the other party cautiously.
"The one in green is Xiao Peijue, ranked fifth on the sect's wanted list. The one in white in the south is Luo Yi, ranked sixth. Although the others are not in the top ten, they are basically not simple people."
Although he was not in a hurry, Yuan Fang still looked nervous and spoke in a heavy tone. As expected, when the disciples heard these names, they immediately started talking and were in a panic.
Among the disciples present, the one with the highest cultivation level is only the Seven Yuan Nirvana. How easy would it be to deal with these Eight Yuan Nirvana disciples?
"Yuan Fang, I have never seen a Xian Yuan tree in my life. How about you take it out and let us see it?"
Seeing that fewer and fewer people were coming, Su Lei finally broke the deadlock with a strange smile. Upon hearing his words, many people who were originally hesitant and uncertain immediately changed their expressions, with greed surging in their eyes.
"Heh, clown." Jiang Kun took a few steps forward and stood alone in front of the crowd, looking down on them proudly.
If he had met a few Eight Element Nirvanas on a normal day, he would have probably retreated strategically long ago. But when he thought of the backup plans they had prepared, he couldn't help but get excited.
"I've never seen you poop in public in my life, why don't you poop for everyone to see?"
