Clearly, the fact that so many Interception Sect disciples had arrived together had everything to do with these two little blabbermouths.
Yellow Dragon sneered and swept his sleeve.
Two Ginseng Fruits, each thirty feet tall, appeared out of thin air. One on the left and one on the right, they pinned the Water-Fire Acolytes squarely beneath them outside Biyou Palace.
Each Ginseng Fruit was as large as a house, with a warm, jade-like sheen. They took the form of infants sitting cross-legged, their features clearly defined and their bodies shrouded in a faint layer of milky-white spirit light!
These were spirit fruits borne by Yellow Dragon's Ginseng Fruit Tree, a heaven-supporting spiritual root.
Pinned beneath the Ginseng Fruits, the Water-Fire Acolytes had only their four short legs sticking out, kicking frantically like two turtles flipped onto their backs.
"Senior brother, I was wrong! I was wrong!" Water Boy shouted at the top of his lungs from the left.
"Senior brother, please spare us!" Fire Boy wailed along with him from the right.
The two little fellows shouted for ages, but Biyou Palace's doors remained tightly shut. Sect Master Tongtian gave no response from within.
The Interception Sect disciples were all stunned by the two giant Ginseng Fruits. They stood rooted to the spot, staring blankly at the two mountain-like spirit fruits. Not one of them remembered to plead on the Water-Fire Acolytes' behalf.
Zhao Gongming pointed at the two enormous Ginseng Fruits, stammering as though his tongue had tied itself in knots:
"S-Senior brother, what are...?"
Of course he recognized Ginseng Fruits. He had attended Yellow Dragon's banquet back then, too, and the Ginseng Fruits borne by that innate spiritual root had only been fist-sized. How could they compare to these thirty-foot giants?
The difference in size was like that
