"Brother Ding... I ran into the Treant Tribe. I already..."
Li Yun hurried back to meet up with Ding Baisheng, but before he could explain what had happened, he froze.
Damn it!
He had actually arrived a step too late.
Several Treant Tribe members with formidable auras, none of them weaker than a Heavenly Human Supreme, had suddenly appeared not far away.
The leading Treant Tribe member was jet-black all over, yet exceptionally burly.
The moment Ding Baisheng saw him appear, he happily waved. "Fellow Daoist Cang, we meet again..."
He did not even spare Li Yun a glance.
Knowing things were about to go bad, Li Yun hurried over, intending to pull Ding Baisheng back first.
Unexpectedly, Cang, the leading Treant Tribe Guardian, spoke first. Moreover, he spoke human language, his strange tone brimming with fury.
"Despicable humans, you still dare come to Wanqing Mountain..."
"Do you think our Treant Tribe does not dare march out and wage war against your human race?"
Ding Baisheng's expression instantly stiffened.
This was absolutely not the script he had expected.
He had finally waited for Treant Tribe Guardian Cang to show himself, so why was he acting as though he had come to demand an explanation?
Fortunately, Li Yun reacted quickly.
He stepped directly in front, not bothering to wonder why Treant Tribe Guardian Cang could speak human language.
"Guardian Cang, do not misunderstand. We have already learned of the foolish deed committed by those stupid humans who previously infiltrated the Ancestral Tree Plain. We came specifically to deal with them and, while we were at it, see whether there was any way to make amends."
Ding Baisheng was immediately stunned.
He shot Li Yun a baffled glance, having no idea what Li Yun was talking about.
Still, he caught on.
Something
