Golden Tree's Plan to Lure a Defection! Zhang Geyang Must Die!
Zhang Geyang had just sat down in the secret room and hadn't even had time to regulate his breathing when that strange phenomenon surged up violently again.
Dark purple vines sprouted from the ground beneath his feet without warning, climbing up his calves and waist.
He looked down at the vines that were tightly binding his body, and the desire almost burst forth from his body.
"Phainon!"
He hadn't experienced a sense of loss of control in a long time.
"What has attracted the Thundering Hell Prison Vine?"
"What did you do in there?!"
He clenched his fist, staring at the dark purple lines that had appeared on his skin.
What exactly is inside your body?!
"My desire for him is so strong!"
"I can no longer suppress the vines within me!"
"Aaaaaah!"
The voice, which had not yet fully settled, echoed briefly in the secret room.
Countless roaring pillars of lightning pierced straight up to the dome.
It was immediately drowned out by the roar of thunder.
Phainon walked out of the Spirit Pagoda without slowing down.
A faint, violent aura emanated from the closing door behind them.
He didn't turn around, but the voice was enough to confirm that his plan was progressing as expected.
He released a wisp of the Golden Tree's life energy, mixed with a hint of Abundance.
So faint as to be imperceptible to even the strongest humans.
But it just so happens to drive plant-type Soul Spirit like the Thundering Hell Prison Vine, which are extremely sensitive to the life force, mad.
The seed he planted inside Zhang Geyang has now successfully sprouted.
That would be enough to keep him busy for the next few days, keeping an eye on him.
He knew that Zhang Geyang's Soul Spirit Contract was not stable.
The Thundering Hell Prison Vine possesses considerable autonomy, Zhang Geyang cannot fully control it.
Once it senses that aura that drives it mad, it will rush out uncontrollably.
To suppress it, Zhang Geyang had no choice but to suffer the consequences himself, paying a price to forcefully push the crack back in.
This price is enough to buy him a few days.
It was used to handle matters that needed to be handled away from Zhang Geyang's sight.
That's about enough. He shouldn't have the energy to keep an eye on me for the next few days.
"Let's go back first."
Mu Ye and Gu Yuena followed him as they turned and walked back along the street.
Zhang Geyang's face grew increasingly grim as the vines tightened, enveloping his body and the small, exposed crack.
He felt the aura moving slowly, leaving a mark inside his body that was slowly heating up.
That mark was the connection point between him and the Thundering Hell Prison Vine.
The contract he established was merely a product of compromise, and once that mark was overwhelmed by its own desires...
He will completely lose control of it.
He lowered his voice:
"Don't come out! Or I'll take you down with me!"
The momentum of the Thundering Hell Prison Vine was not diminished as a result.
The vines continued to tighten, and the thunder continued to leap.
Zhang Geyang knew he couldn't wait any longer.
He raised his right hand, gathered a surge of energy, and pressed it heavily against his chest, directly drawing the backlash into his body.
He groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood, which landed on the dark purple vines.
His breath suddenly weakened at that moment.
He felt that longing slowly fading away.
He clutched his chest, took out a healing pill from his pocket and swallowed it, then slowly sat down, closed his eyes, and began to regulate his breathing.
Inside the secret chamber, the aura of the Thundering Hell Prison Vine was slowly receding back into his body.
"Huh?"
"Soul Spirit out of control?"
Mu Ye turned his gaze away from the Spirit Pagoda.
"According to the legends surrounding his Soul Spirit, the Thundering Hell Prison Vine appeared at the place where the Thunder God fell, and was born bathed in the blood of the Thunder God. It was born at the top of the pyramid of Plant-type Soul Beast, and it is very difficult for ordinary people to truly tame it."
"So he definitely didn't fully grasp that contract, but I didn't expect him to suddenly go berserk today."
"I don't know what's wrong with his Soul Spirit, but if this continues, it will become a hidden danger sooner or later."
Phainon did not respond immediately; his gaze remained fixed straight ahead, not lingering in that direction.
Gu Yuena followed beside him, also glancing sideways in the direction of the Spirit Pagoda.
The aura she sensed was different from what Mu Ye perceived.
The root of that rampage did not seem to come from the wildness of the Soul Spirit itself, but rather from something awakened from the outside.
The aura of that thing was somewhat similar to the life energy she had sensed in Phainon.
It wasn't exactly the same, so she couldn't be completely sure for a moment.
But she didn't say anything.
Back in the hotel room.
Phainon expressed his gratitude to Mu Ye.
"Thank you, teacher."
Phainon said.
"Without you today, I wouldn't dare be alone with him."
Mu Ye waved his hand, his tone carrying a rare hint of seriousness.
"Heavenly Phoenix specifically emphasized to me that once we arrived on the Star Luo Continent, we must be extremely careful of the Ghost Flame Douluo Zhang Geyang."
"He is a staunch supporter of the Qiangu Family, which is why I stay by your side at all times."
He paused.
"I see that Zhang Geyang is just one step away from becoming Limit Douluo. If he breaks through, I can't guarantee that I can protect you."
"But judging from today's situation, it will be difficult for him to make any further progress for the foreseeable future."
"This is good news for you, kid."
"Go ahead and do your best during this time; I'll be right behind you."
Phainon lowered her eyes.
Ghost Flame Douluo is the Vice Pagoda Master the Spirit Pagoda and the master of the Star Luo City Spirit Pagoda, controlling the resources of the Spirit Pagoda throughout the entire Star Luo Continent.
The Phoenix Family and the Qiangu Family are bound to go to war sooner or later. It's better to eliminate this destined enemy sooner rather than later than to deal with it at the last minute.
More importantly, the Golden Tree is the master of all Plant-type Soul Beast in the world.
His relationship with Elder Jin was indeed quite close.
Once the Thundering Hell Prison Vine has taken the bait and confirmed the identity of that being, it will recognize that he is the one it should follow.
This will solidify his resolve to betray Zhang Geyang, dealing him the greatest blow.
Seeing that he was no longer speaking, Mu Ye didn't ask any more questions, stood up, and patted his knees:
"Alright, you must be tired today. Get some rest."
There's another match tomorrow.
After he finished speaking, he walked towards the door and closed it behind him.
Phainon sat on the edge of the bed.
Then the Soul Tool communication was established.
Leng Yaozhu's voice came from the other end of the communicator, calm and steady. "Speak."
Phainon didn't beat around the bush:
"An emergency has occurred; Thundering Hell Prison Vine undergone a mutation Zhang Geyang..."
"If I can use the power of the Golden Tree to induce him to betray me, his strength will decrease rather than increase."
"Strike while the iron is hot; I think this is a golden opportunity."
Leng Yaozhu paused for a moment; she was certain that the Golden Tree favored Phainon.
But she never expected that just telling him to go out and not cause any trouble would result in this kid actually bringing her a surprise?
Seeing that she didn't speak, Phainon continued.
"With the death of the Ghost Flame Douluo, it's time for the Phoenix Family to rise to prominence."
"Then comes the important part: replace the Vice Pagoda Master the Spirit Pagoda with one of our own."
"This way, we can have an acre of land on the Star Luo Continent."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the communicator.
Then Leng Yaozhu's voice rang out again, brief and clear:
"Okay, go ahead and do it."
"The teacher believes what you say."
I will support you from behind!
