Why Are You Chasing Me?!

Yunxi and the other two entered the Secret Realm.

The black earth, as if it had endured endless ravages, was riddled with craters and exuded an eerie and chaotic aura.

Apart from some Vines, there were no living creatures in this Secret Realm.

Silence as still as death.

There weren't many Vines in the outer area, but as they ventured deeper, they found themselves surrounded by them everywhere.

A sea of Vines.

Many of the Vines appeared increasingly eerie, and among the soil where Vines were rooted, faint traces of white bones could be seen.

"There's... major danger ahead!"

At this moment, Mu Wanqing spoke solemnly, saying:

"According to the information provided by the Sacrificial Spirit... hidden among Vines Vines deep within the Secret Realm are 'Vine Person'."

Ziling asked in confusion, "Vine Person?"

"Yes, when Lord Sacrificial Spirit was still a seed, he saw humanoid Vines walking in this area. Those Vine Person were extremely powerful!"

"According to the Sacrificial Spirit Master's speculation, certain Vines took root in the corpses of incredibly powerful deceased individuals, obtained the Dao fruits of those powerful figures in life, and underwent a transformation, forming Vine Person."

Mu Wanqing spoke.

Upon hearing this, both Yunxi and Ziling were somewhat surprised.

What would it look like if Vines turned into people?

Mu Wanqing said, "However, those Vine Person are very difficult to see, so we shouldn't encounter them."

They continued forward, stepping into the thicket of Vines ahead.

At that moment, a jade pendant worn by Yunxi at her waist suddenly emitted a strange and eerie aura!

As this aura spread, the surrounding Vines began to writhe, as if awakened, baring their fangs and claws, and spreading towards the three of them.

The dense, tangled Vines were enough to frighten anyone!

"Let me."

Ziling stepped forward, and with a stroke of her Phoenix Feather Brush, she made a sweeping motion.

Instantly, a blazing flame was ignited!

That is the Phoenix True Fire!

Wherever the real fire passed, all the Vines were instantly burned to ashes.

The remaining Vines seemed to sense the threat as well, and immediately began to spread out in all directions.

They dared not stop them.

"Sister, your jade pendant..."

Ziling looked at the jade pendant at Yunxi's waist with a puzzled expression.

She sensed a dark and evil aura.

Yunxi picked up the jade pendant, and there seemed to be a hint of disappointment in her beautiful eyes.

She certainly knew about the two jade pendants left behind by the first Deity of the Yun family...

The two jade pendants are exactly the same.

At this moment, it seems that this jade pendant... clearly retains the evil essence of the first Deity!

"The two jade pendants are exactly the same, indistinguishable. Was she wrong... or...?"

Yunxi murmured, her heart filled with sorrow...

In reality, Yunxi is incredibly intelligent, and even someone as cunning as Zhan Shaoling cannot deceive her.

Yun Qin's clumsy methods and scheming are far inferior to Zhan Shaoling's...

However, she had regarded Yun Qin as family since childhood...

Deep family ties made her subconsciously unwilling to think in a negative direction!

Wisdom is easily blinded by emotion.

She didn't say much, she just crushed the jade pendant!

At this moment, in this black landscape, amidst a dense sea of Vines, countless black Vines have formed a throne.

On the throne sat a humanoid being.

This humanoid Deity was made of Vines.

It's like a mannequin woven from Vines by an artisan.

But at this moment, the Vines seemed to sense something and stood up.

"Destroying my people, you deserve to die!"

He roared, took a step, and vanished from the spot.

Yunxi, Ziling, and the others entered.

With the jade pendant destroyed and the power of Ziling's Phoenix Feather Brush in hand, no Vines dared to act recklessly anymore; instead, they all avoided it.

Suddenly, a powerful aura emanated from it.

The surrounding Vines suddenly surged back as if in a frenzy, rushing towards Yunxi and the others.

"What happened?"

Mu Wanqing spoke unexpectedly.

"That's... Vine Person?"

Ziling was referring to a certain place in the thicket of Vines.

A human-shaped Vines appeared, moving with the speed of the wind, and arrived in an instant!

"You dare to trespass into my land and lay a hand on my people! I will make your flesh and blood turn to dust!"

The Vine Person had arrived, and was now utterly indifferent.

His aura was extremely powerful, surpassing even the Divine Transformation Realm.

"This is... Sub-god level expert, at the Spirit Transformation stage!"

Mu Wanqing's expression changed!

Above the level of Divine Spirit Transformation Spirit Transformation can one become a Wandering God!

The Spirit Transformation realm is already referred to as a demigod.

Second only to the Deity!

Cultivators of this level are extremely rare to see, because they are all in seclusion, fighting for that one last chance, and will never emerge unless absolutely necessary!

The Sub-god level Vine Person was incredibly ferocious. With a wave of his hand, vines filled the Vines, resembling spears and divine swords, and stabbed towards the three of them.

Yunxi stepped forward, and a butterfly appeared in her hand.

Fluttering wings.

In an instant, it was as if the entire space was about to be torn apart; the countless Vines were annihilated in an instant, withered and decaying!

"No!"

The Vine Person cried out in alarm and screamed in agony. It was as if it had been struck by some kind of force, instantly splitting open and collapsing to the ground!

The Sub-god level Vine Person was defeated in an instant!

"I burned him!"

Ziling also spoke, making a single stroke with her pen!

The Vine Person's body immediately burst into flames.

"No! Ah... Help... Ah..."

The Vine Person screamed and howled in agony.

"Hmm? Wait a minute, why does it smell so good..."

At this moment, Yunxi and the others looked at the Vine Person in surprise.

The Vine Person's body was burning, and surprisingly, it emitted a unique woody fragrance.

Moreover, as it burned, the smoke emanating from the Vine Person's body actually evolved into various Dao imprints, with mythical beasts like Qiongqi and Bifang dancing and flowing away!

"This Vine Person has absorbed the Dao principles of ancient powerhouses, and its body can already be described as a Dao body... Even a single Vines is a supreme treasure!"

Mu Wanqing was shocked!

This Vine Person possesses incredibly extraordinary talent; with such a physique, he could probably become a god!

Ziling's big eyes lit up, and she said:

"Ah, I've heard my master say that some types of wood naturally have a unique fragrance, which would be great for smoking cured meat or something!"

"It's such a waste to burn it all! I'm going to take some back with me. It'll be useful for barbecues and for making cured meat in the village!"

Upon hearing this, Yunxi was also delighted and said:

"Great! Ziling, put out the fire quickly!"

Ziling immediately extinguished the Phoenix True Fire, and the two walked to Vine Person's side.

The Vine Person was already on its last breath, but as it looked at the girls, its eyes were filled with terror!

"Hmm? These branches smell the best when burned!"

Yunxi pointed to several Vines near the heart of the Vine Person.

The Vines shimmered with a silvery sheen, making them look almost like metal rather than plants.

"You, you hand over this firewood, or else, or I'll tear you apart!"

Yunxi spoke to the Vine Person.

Vine Person was shocked when he heard this.

It should be noted that the Vines growing from his heart are the essence of the Dao principles he absorbed from those ancient powerhouses.

For all those Vine Person, this is the most important spiritual backbone!

Now, these girls actually want to take it away?

He felt extremely angry and humiliated.

As the king of Vines, I have never been like this before!

"Oh, you don't want to? I'll tear you apart."

Yunxi had already rolled up her sleeves, revealing her fair arms, and was eagerly preparing to get started.

Because the Vine Person's body is as if woven from Vines, if you want to get some Vines firewood from his heart, you have to dismantle the Vine Person first!

Upon hearing this, Vine Person panicked and hurriedly said:

"No, I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you!"

He understood that he was at the mercy of others, like a fish on a chopping board. If he didn't give it to them, he would probably suffer a terrible fate!

With trembling hands, he removed several Vines branches from his heart and handed them to Yunxi.

Yunxi took the Vines, but was somewhat annoyed, and said:

"This amount of firewood is far too little. It's not even enough for a barbecue, let alone for smoking cured meat."

Upon hearing this, Vine Person completely broke down.

Damn it...

Those are Dao bones that took thousands of years to form; they are extremely precious.

They actually used it as firewood?!

Barbecue? Smoked bacon?

He was so angry he vomited blood!

"Or perhaps we should just dismantle you; we don't have enough firewood..."

Yunxi spoke up, saying that although the firewood in other parts of the Vine Person's body was much worse than that from his heart, there wasn't enough of it to go around.

Upon hearing this, Vine Person panicked, his voice trembling with tears:

"No!"

"Grandmother, I beg you... Oh, by the way, come inside, I need a lot more of my Vine Person brothers, their firewood is even better! Get them too, it'll definitely be enough for you to smoke cured meat!"

He was going all out.

As long as you don't die, there's still a chance to cultivate a Dao bone!

Upon hearing this, Yunxi was immediately delighted and said:

"Really?"

"Ziling, Wanqing, let's hurry up and go gather firewood! We'll ask Li Fan to make us a barbecue later!"

Ziling was also extremely excited.

Mu Wanqing's feelings became increasingly complicated. At this moment, she actually felt a pang of sympathy for the incredibly powerful Vine Person in this Secret Realm!

That's terrible, so terrible!

And not long after they left.

The Zhan and Yun families finally arrived at this place.

"Hmm? It looks like a battle took place here?"

"It looks very intense; there are many broken Vines on the ground!"

To everyone's surprise, they spoke up!

Yun Qin, however, looked around with a mixture of anticipation and excitement in her eyes... searching for a corpse!

"With that jade pendant there, she'll be strangled by the Vines, she definitely will..."

She prayed silently in her heart!

"It's good that someone's stepped on the landmine, let's go!"

Zhan Shaoling remained calm.

However, before the group had taken more than a few steps forward, someone suddenly exclaimed:

"What is that? A vine? A person?"

Everyone stared intently, and what they saw ahead, amidst the tangled Vines, was a human-shaped Vines!

It was none other than the Vine Person whose Dao bone had been taken by Yunxi others.

Having absorbed the power of countless Vines around him, the Vine Person had finally recovered to about 70-80% of his original state.

He had just stood up when he saw a group of humans, and he was instantly enraged!

"You ants, I'm going to kill you all!"

He gritted his teeth, raised his hand, and thousands of illusory Vines shot out.

"Ah!"

In an instant, countless people screamed and wailed!

"No! This, this is Sub-god level being?!"

Zhan Chonglei's expression changed drastically, and he said:

"We can't fight them head-on, we have to leave quickly!"

Zhan Shaoling nodded, his face darkening as he said:

"Let the others draw its attention, and we'll break through!"

Immediately, the elites of the Yun and Zhan families, wielding their divine weapons, abandoned their protection of the others and fled forward!

But at that very moment, the Vine Person suddenly saw Yun Qin!

This ant is very similar to the demon girl who just stole his Dao bone!

Instantly, he felt a surge of rage and viciously lunged at Yun Qin!

"If I can't beat her, I refuse to believe I can't beat you! You disgusting human, die!"

He had nowhere to vent his anger, and now a woman who looked exactly like the demon girl had appeared—the perfect target for his rage!

When Yun Qin saw the Vine Person charging towards her, her pretty face turned pale, and she hurriedly ran away!

However, the Vine Person pursued relentlessly, and even when some experts from the Yun and Zhan families tried to stop them, they were all killed!

They're determined to hold onto Yun Qin!

Yun Qin's heart trembled. She desperately wanted to ask... why are you pursuing me?
