Above Black Mountain Ridge, Lin Tianjiao was furious, staring intently at Qin Yun.

If Hao Jun and the others hadn't suddenly interfered, he wouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state, and the branches and leaves he had finally obtained had been snatched away by the other party.

The initiator of Hao Jun and Wu Qingqing's team was naturally Qin Yun, so once the spoils were divided, the other party would definitely get a share.

However, compared to this person's anger, Qin Yun looked completely innocent.

He was puzzled and somewhat angry. He hadn't even forgiven Lin Tianjiao for breaking his promise, yet the other party had preemptively launched a verbal attack on him.

"Gentlemen, he's the leader of that group. Capture him and lure them over here."

Lin Tianjiao immediately spoke up, deciding to capture Qin Yun alive and vent his anger.

Boom!

After saying that, he took the initiative and immediately used his most powerful techniques: the Pangu Axe in his right hand and the Jietian Sword in his left.

Qin Yun was startled by this display of strength; he was no match for Lin Tianjiao.

Thump!

Lin Tianjiao Heaven Opening his Divine Might once more, a vast force pressing down and heading straight for Qin Yun.

Buzz!

Suddenly, a strange fluctuation appeared. The axe that Heaven Opening and earth was extremely powerful, but at this moment it was like hitting cotton, without causing the slightest fluctuation. The earth-shattering power dissipated silently.

White-robed Woman appeared and stood in front of Qin Yun, deflecting Lin Tianjiao's attack.

This woman was graceful and truly remarkable; she easily deflected the opponent's Killing move. She raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Fellow Daoist, please restrain yourself. This is Black Mountain Ridge; it is not advisable to disturb a great demon."

In fact, if this happened anywhere else, and the other party dared to be so impolite, she would have already retaliated in kind.

At this moment, Lin Tianjiao finally calmed down. He was so focused on targeting Qin Yun that he failed to notice that the Divine Wanderers beside him were all incredibly powerful.

Especially this woman in the White Skirt, who Second Seat only to Ji Wushuang on the Sea Area Ranking.

"Lin Tianjiao, you broke your promise first, and now you dare to attack me? Is there no Heavenly Principle?"

Qin Yun was also furious. The other party had offended him, so how dare they turn around and blame him?

"Qin Yun, you should be more considerate. You've taken advantage of me and now you want to play innocent? Who are you trying to fool?"

Lin Tianjiao's face was full of displeasure, and he was burning with anger.

Still pretending to be innocent at this point?

"What do you mean by feigning innocence? Is there some misunderstanding between us?"

Qin Yun couldn't help but frown.

"Misunderstanding? You dare say you're not in Yan Liang with Hao Jun and Yan Liang?"

Lin Tianjiao snorted.

"Forehead..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yun's expression became somewhat complicated.

Yao Hong immediately said, "You've really misunderstood. We were originally together, but we've all gone our separate ways."

Upon hearing this, Lin Tianjiao's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in alarm, "Oh no!"

Afterwards, Qin Yun and the others understood the reason, and their situation became very complicated.

I didn't expect them to target you.

Qin Yun sighed, feeling a pang of regret. The four men had gotten their revenge, but he had missed his chance.

Then, they learned that a great upheaval had occurred deep within the Forbidden Land, and even Zhong Shenxiu and his group had returned empty-handed. On the contrary, Hao Jun and his group of five had obtained the only Dao Tree resource.

"So that's how it is!"

Upon hearing the news, Yao Hong's face turned pale, and her distress surged uncontrollably.

Originally, she thought that Fang Yong and his group were the least qualified to drink the soup, but it turned out that the other five people became the only beneficiary team.

She could have been a beneficiary of this competition.

"Them..."

Qin Yun hesitated, his mind racing, his eyes filled with complex emotions as he kept replaying the scene of Hao Jun Fang Yong leaving the team that day in his mind.

As evening fell and the moonlight shone upon them, Jiang Ping and his companions successfully left the island and returned to a nearby Artificial Island.

Two days later, Yan Liang found them and showed them the broken branch.

It has twenty leaves and a nine-inch branch.

Hao Jun counted the priceless Dao Enlightenment Leaves, his eyes brimming with undisguised excitement.

Given his family background, it would be very difficult for him to access such resources.

"I don't want the leaves, please leave me a branch."

Yan Liang said.

"Brother Yan, you're really daring."

Wu Qingqing smiled.

The most precious parts of the Dao Tree are its roots Tree Fruit, and Tree Leaf, which are the essence of the Dao Tree. The trunk, on the other hand, is not valued and is no different from a fire poker.

However, it cannot be said that the torso is completely worthless; it can create a possibility.

That is to bury the trunk in suitable soil, so that it may take root and sprout, and become a brand new Dao Tree.

But the hope is very slim. Looking back at the history of North Nether, there are only two examples of successful cases, and it took a long time.

How will you know if you don't try?

Yan Liang replied.

Then he asked the four people if anyone else wanted to take a branch.

But everyone else shook their heads.

"I'll pass."

Jiang Ping sighed.

For him, readily available resources are the most helpful; he doesn't have a solid family background and can't afford to gamble.

Me too.

Hao Jun echoed this sentiment, noting that while his family background was indeed much better than Jiang Ping's, it paled in comparison to people like Wu Qingqing and Shu Mingxiao. He also lacked resources and was unwilling to gamble.

Then, Yan Liang took the branch, while the other four each received five leaves.

"These leaves need to be stored in a special Jade Box, otherwise their medicinal properties will easily be lost."

Wu Qingqing took out two exquisite Jade Box, one for herself and the other for Jiang Ping.

Thank you.

Jiang Ping was grateful. This wealthy woman was not only generous but also very understanding, knowing that he was poor and had nothing.

After.

The five people, who had divided the resources equally, went to a restaurant for drinks and unexpectedly ran into Lin Tianjiao and his group, who had just been shouting and threatening to kill each other.

Lin Tianjiao glared coldly, his face unfriendly. The other Close to the Dao Seed also frowned and glared, clearly angry.

However, they did not make any further moves.

According to Forbidden Land conventions, resources are contested within the island, and unless it's a matter of Life and Death and death, the conflict usually ends once the island is outside.

Lin Tianjiao and his ilk were all Close to the Dao Seed cultivators, with Iron Bone integrity, so how could they break the established norms?

Therefore, Shu Mingxiao not only showed no fear when he saw Lin Tianjiao, but also warmly greeted him and invited him to drink.

Lin Tianjiao ignored him completely, having always looked down on him.

"By the way, why are you still here? I thought you had left."

Hao Jun laughed, but Lin Tianjiao countered with a question:

"You should all have received your share of the Dao Leaf and be returning home laden with fruit, so why aren't you leaving?"

See you later.

Hao Jun turned around and entered a private room with Jiang Ping and the others.

"It seems this matter is not over yet; we need to go back to the island."

Jiang Ping spoke.

Wu Qingqing nodded and said, "I have received news that someone like Zhong Shenxiu is unwilling to accept defeat and has invited a Close to the Dao Seed who can refine Pure Gold."

"That was a peerless genius who had reached the Eighth Heaven the Peerless Prodigy and possessed the Undying characteristic ahead of time."

Wu Qingqing added that Zhong Shenxiu brought out this person to restrain the Old Demon King, thus giving us an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

"Yes, this time there's a real chance of eradicating it completely."

Yan Liang was quite excited; he really wanted to plant a Great Dao Divine Tree in front of his house.

"This competition is sure to be fierce, and Zhong Shenxiu and Ji Wushuang will most likely have a showdown of their Peak."

Shu Mingxiao looked expectant.

He had already had his soup and was satisfied; now he was even more eager to see the two Peerless Personage clash.

How long will it take to get to the island?

Jiang Ping inquired.

"It should be within a few days," Wu Qingqing said.

"I see."

Jiang Ping's eyes flickered, as if he were deep in thought.

He felt he could use this time to return to Xuanxin Island and break through his cultivation barrier.

Once he survives the Four-Nine Tribulation, his strength will increase significantly, and he might even be able to fight Zhong Shenxiu!

Moreover, he also has four Close to the Dao Seed as his assistants.

"Let's do it this way!"

Having made up his mind, Jiang Ping immediately set off. After bidding farewell to his companions after the meal, he quietly departed and leaped towards Xuanxin Island.

One day later.

Jiang Ping successfully returned to Xuanxin Island.
