About a mile away from the Divine Tree, Li Yun and the two Treant Tribe members finally stopped.
It was not that the two Treant Tribe members would not allow him to get any closer.
It was that they simply could not get any closer themselves.
The Divine Tree, a thousand zhang tall and soaring into the clouds with no end in sight, emanated a divine might like an invisible city wall, blocking their path.
Layer upon layer of invisible Barriers.
They could neither be seen nor touched, yet they were incomparably solid.
Li Yun was instantly shocked.
"Since the Divine Tree is protected by such a Barrier, how did Huang Zhengqi and his group get close to it?"
The two Treant Tribe members looked displeased, yet equally bewildered. Clearly, even now, they had not figured out how Huang Zhengqi's group had crossed the Barrier and harmed the Divine Tree.
One had to know that this Barrier was called the Divine Tree Barrier, and its source was the Divine Tree itself.
Without the Divine Tree's consent, even the Treant Tribe Chief, Yu Rong, could not cross it.
"We don't know the answer to your question either."
"But you can only stay here. Whether you can figure out what is going on depends on you."
The two Treant Tribe members each retreated to one side, but they still watched Li Yun's every movement as though guarding against a thief.
"Fine."
Li Yun did not want to arouse their suspicions either.
Still, being able to come here had already accomplished one of his fundamental goals in infiltrating Treant Tribe territory.
From a mile away.
As Li Yun observed the Divine Tree, he had successfully triggered the system.
