Why Do You Force Me (Silver Bonus Chapter 3/20)

Xun Wood Heart, this can be considered the biggest trump card.

The Seeking Wood was originally a kind of innate treasure, a primordial tree that stretched for thousands of miles, with incredibly rich Spiritual Qi within it. During the Immortal-God Calamity, the heavens and earth collapsed, and to avoid the disaster, the upper part of the Seeking Wood was hollowed out to make a boat, which was then used to cross the sea, leaving only the main body. Afterwards, it was concentrated and occupied by flocks of birds.

Originally, they simply lived on trees, but later, under the leadership of the Winged Human Race and other races, they became more civilized and began to build cities from the wood, where they lived and cultivated.

The Wood Heart of this innate wood is the most important part of the wood. With the help of the Wood Heart, one can launch a self-counterattack against the wood, which is equivalent to an attack from an innate Law Treasure and has the power of formlessness.

It is precisely because of its strength that it takes turns in charge; otherwise, it would be too easy for it to become a one-man show.

Of course, simply possessing the Xun Wood Heart is not enough. The guardians of the array's core are from various clans and will not listen to just one person. Without the collective will of all clans, no one could open the array out of personal desire. However, the Uwabami Bird had been plotting this for a long time, and this month, all the clans guarding the array's core were given a mental suggestion, easily opening the location of the array's core.

This tactic shouldn't be used lightly... Once it's used, the neutral parties like the Winged Birds will immediately discover their scheming, and they'll have a hard time dealing with it when they go to the sea to talk to them.

But now they have no choice but to use these last War Preparation, otherwise they won't be able to win the battle against the Temple.

Several Uwabami Bird, carrying their Xun Wood Heart, flew towards the center of the great formation.

There is a wooden disc-shaped device there. Simply place the Xun Wood Heart on it to activate the formation, and it will launch an attack at your command.

As long as a powerful expert at the Huiyang level has a mental focus that accurately locks onto all enemies, they can be annihilated by an array.

But just as this Uwabami Bird entered the center of the formation, it was struck by lightning and could not move at all.

Several Double Eyed Bird appeared from all directions, surrounding it completely.

Xiang Ming's expression was filled with rage. "For your own selfish gain, you activated the Seeking Wood Formation and slaughtered your own kind?"

The Uwabami Bird was horrified. "Why are you Double Eyed Bird here?"

"What's it to you? Die!" A dazzling seven-colored light instantly engulfed the Uwabami Bird.

A soft sigh came from the sky, "The Uwabami Bird is indeed unreliable..."

As the words were spoken, the Xun Wood Heart, which was in the center of the radiance, flew uncontrollably into the sky and landed in the hands of an old Daoist priest.

"Since we can't control Xun Wood City... then there's no use leaving this thing to you. I'll take it with me."

The sound lingered in the air, yet in an instant it had traveled thousands of miles.

Xiang Ming's expression was extremely solemn. "Qian Yuan, perfect... This Uwabami Bird is truly a traitor, colluding with outsiders!"

He quickly realized that this outsider originally didn't want to show himself; he only intended to use the Uwabami Bird to control the city. Now that things were going badly and it seemed like he was going to fail, it would be better to take the Xun Wood Heart and leave. From then on, Xun Wood City would lose its most crucial strategic weapon and would no longer be a threat.

Just when he thought he was about to lose his Xun Wood Heart, laughter came from the sky, followed by the old Daoist's angry voice. "Why are you here?"

A languid, pleasant female voice came through. "It's not good to try and take away anything good you see."

"You'll regret this... Tian Shu..." The voice faded into the distance.

Xiang Ming stared blankly as the Xun Wood Heart, which had been lost and then regained, landed back on the ground.

It seems the woman only retrieved the Wood Heart and did not pursue the Daoist priest.

Just as Xiang Ming received Wood Heart, a twisted and painful scream suddenly came from the sky.

The woman exclaimed "Oh!" and then sighed, "You've come too..."

Another middle-aged man's voice came. "They all deserve to die, Xi Yue. You are clearly extremely dissatisfied with these things, yet you are hesitant and timid, falsely claiming to be Wu Xiang. You are truly despicable."

The woman said calmly, "Your purpose in doing things isn't as grand and ambitious as it seems on the surface. We're in the same boat."

"Perspective? One person is small, the world is big?" The man laughed loudly, "That's true for you, but not necessarily for me."

Both of their voices disappeared, as if in a dream.

"No... Form?" Xiang Ming stared blankly at the sky. "Two of them appear at once? What's going on in Xun Wood City lately?"

Xiang Ming had no idea what was wrong with Xun Wood City, and Gu Shuanglin was even more confused about what had happened to their perfectly good plan.

The clan's Secret Method of transmitting sound to activate the Xun Wood Grand Array remained unresponsive for a long time, leaving them wondering what had happened. Meanwhile, their adoptive father was also entangled with the black mist and had no reaction. Qin Yi was firing his cannons wildly over there, and the Looking Sky Wood was clearly at a disadvantage against the airship, unable to withstand the attack. Even the surrounding Uwabami Bird were blasted into pieces, their array disintegrating, and they could only barely defend themselves by relying on the Looking Sky Wood's defensive power.

This is truly bizarre...

Originally, Gu Shuanglin had high hopes for this kind of Looking Sky Wood, whose powerful offensive and defensive capabilities were comparable to those of Shining Sun Completion. How come it was defeated in the battle against Qin Yi?

Yu Shang freed her hand, and the sapphire on her forehead emitted a faint blue light. Gu Shuanglin, terrified, hid behind an Uwabami Bird.

That was Yu Shang's prized possession— the Clear Blue Sky, a purifying light. Someone like him, full of wicked schemes, would surely be reduced to ashes upon encountering such light, without even a chance to resist.

A Guhuoniao, a late-stage Uwabami Bird, forcibly shielded him from the divine light. Struck as if by lightning, she coughed up blood and flew a great distance, crashing heavily into the temple wall. She slowly slumped down, completely crippled.

A powerful expert at the late stage of the Huiyang realm was rendered useless just like that...

It was only then that they realized just how powerful the seemingly simple-minded and easily fooled Saintess actually was.

The wings swept past, like sharp blades scraping towards Gu Shuanglin's throat. Gu Shuanglin rolled away desperately, using the Uwabami Bird on either side to intercept the Yu Shang, and darted away at top speed.

How did this battle, which was clearly one where our side had a crushing advantage, turn out like this?

He looked around in a flustered manner, hoping to find a way out of the predicament. His gaze quickly swept over the Ghost Carriage Race and the Daoist Nun Minghe, who had been sitting in the corner watching the show for a long time.

He quickly pulled over an elder from the Uwabami Bird: "Let's subdue Li Jiuyou and that Daoist Nun. One is an important Young Master in the city, and the other is Qin Yi's woman. Subduing them can also blackmail Qin Yi and Yu Shang!"

The Uwabami Bird seemed to obey him completely. Two Uwabami Bird blocked Yu Shang, while the other rushed straight at the Ghost Carriage Race, and Gu Shuanglin himself rushed towards Minghe.

Meng Qingying and Minghe both had very strange expressions.

Watching the Uwabami Bird, Meng Qingying sighed softly, "Actually, we really... didn't want to help them."

Minghe frowned slightly as Gu Shuanglin approached, looking quite troubled. "I don't want him to think I'm helping him, why are you forcing me?"

"Boom!"

The shadows of the entire temple seemed to come alive, rising up menacingly.

The myriad phenomena of the universe, all things are its accomplices.

While Qin Yi fired cannons to suppress the enemy's main force, he watched from afar. He always felt that whenever Meng Qingying made a move, it was as if she had her own background music.

The powerful Uwabami Bird was shocked. He found himself being pulled by his own shadow, suspended in mid-air, unable to move at all.

Li Jiuyou, now transformed into a nine-headed bird, swooped down with a sinister grin. "This is the real deal— Hell Has No Doors, Yet You Barge In!"

Minghe took out a precious sword, Shining Sun Completion aura emanating from the sword greatly shocked Gu Shuanglin.

What kind of Daoist Nun is this? She seems to be in the early stage of the Huiyang realm, yet she casually pulls out treasures that are almost beyond her level?

Before he could even finish thinking, he had already pounced on her. With a "smack," Gu Shuanglin was casually slapped across the face with the sword, scabbard and all, causing him to spin on the ground like a top, and in doing so, a front tooth fell out.

A few days ago, Qin Yi kicked out his upper front tooth, and this time, quite coincidentally, knocked out his lower front tooth as well...

Minghe tilted her head, utterly puzzled. "How dare you provoke Qin Yi, someone like you?"

Gu Shuanglin was even more puzzled.

Yu Shang is strong enough... but why is this seemingly weak and powerless Daoist Nun also so strong?

What is that shadow over there?

It was as if, ever since meeting Qin Yi, one's entire worldview was being reshaped, leaving one feeling as if in a dream.

Almost simultaneously, Gu Changqing's scream echoed from within the gluttonous black mist, "How come there's another Qian Yuan artifact spirit hidden here! Gu Shuanglin, what on earth have you provoked?!"

Gu Shuanglin had no idea what he had offended. Qin Yi was standing there, rummaging around as if he could pull out an entire sect.
