The Wood Demon Escaped?
Council Hall, the light from the Moonlight Stone was dazzling, but Ye Jingcheng paused, his mind replaying Ye Xingliu's words.
After a pause, he finally spoke:
"Third Uncle, Wood Demon in the Spirit Herb Garden?"
The Ye Family has Spirit Beast Valley and a Spirit Herb Garden, but their distance from this Council Hall is neither too long nor too short.
What puzzled Ye Jingcheng was why the image of the spirit Wood Demon had already appeared on that Treasure Book.
Based on past cases, this Treasure Book only has a stimulating effect when touched or brought close.
He had initially thought it was about Ye Xingliu, which is why he spoke up on the spot.
Now it seems that's not the case...
"Yes, Xinghan is currently the main researcher!" Ye Xingliu, who had been quite certain, was now somewhat doubtful because of Ye Jingcheng's words.
Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng did not hesitate any longer, and his Divine Sense began to surge into the ground.
Most of the Ye Family's Array cover a layer underground. In the past, Ye Jingcheng was not qualified to explore the underground of the Ye Family's mountain.
Not to mention the underground of this Council Hall.
But now that he has reached the Foundation Establishment, just as Ye Xingliu said, he can be more carefree.
With his Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Divine Sense, passing through the magic array was naturally exceptionally easy for him.
Moreover, this Council Hall is one of the least important places in the Ye Family, so its Array isn't particularly complex.
The Array didn't change much under his perception.
Ye Jingcheng's face showed even more doubt, but when he fell to a depth of twenty feet, he suddenly discovered a black root, which was rather abrupt.
It seems they are scouting ahead.
He looked to the side along the roots and saw a tree root embedded deep in the ground, with a withered face on it.
His face was currently looking at the ground, as if he were staring directly at Ye Jingcheng.
Her bright eyes seemed to hold a mixture of panic and anger.
Clearly, this Wood Demon had somehow escaped from the Spirit Herb Garden and lost its way on Soaring Cloud Peak, stumbling upon the area beneath the Council Hall.
Upon meeting that gaze, the Spirit Root immediately withdrew.
They were about to slip away to the side.
Ye Jingcheng quickly took out the Earthshaking Talisman.
Stick to the ground.
Ye Xingliu also noticed something amiss with this one and took out a Spirit Talisman as well.
It slammed down into the ground.
As the power of the Spirit Talisman enveloped them...
The Wood Demon had no choice but to burrow towards the ground.
Even if it is good at earth escape, it is only a skill that is exquisite. Once the earth's crust changes, it may still be completely crushed into mud by the ground.
In the open space behind the Council Hall, a small tree, about ten feet tall, grew out of the ground.
Just then, Ye Xingliu released a Metal Attribute spiritual circle, covering the small tree about ten feet in size.
The sapling kept growing larger and smaller; even when one of its branches pointed, it seemed as if a long sword was being unleashed.
However, this little tree is only a first-tier Wood Demon.
They couldn't escape at all, not to mention that the golden ring was Metal Attribute Law Artifact, which was inherently restraining Wood Attribute Spirit Plant.
The branch fell on the golden circle several times, only to stir up a fleeting moment of light.
The Wood Demon's eyes dimmed once more.
"Jingcheng, this Wood Demon is cunning and unpredictable, you must be careful!" If Ye Xingliu hadn't already promised Ye Jingcheng, he would have killed it to end the matter.
This Spirit Beast clearly possesses some abilities, enabling it to traverse Array.
That's the most terrifying thing.
If he heard any news about the Ye Family, he absolutely must not let it get out.
"Third Uncle, leave it to me!" Ye Jingcheng took out a new Spirit Beast bag and put the Wood Demon inside.
Heading towards their own courtyard.
Of course, this little courtyard of his is not the same as the previous one, but a new four-family courtyard.
There are four beast chambers, and three new acres of spirit fields.
At this moment, the Black Cloud Flower that had been transplanted onto the spirit field, which bloomed only once every three years, were still not in bloom.
The Poison Thorn Flower and Purple Illusion Flower, however, have already matured and been harvested, and will be replanted in the spring.
Given the Spiritual Qi here, this year's results will definitely be better than in previous years.
Several tea trees were transplanted from the spirit field, and even the bamboo was placed beside it, showing how seriously the Lineage took his work.
Ye Jingcheng didn't have time to look at the spirit fields or the hives of the Five Poison Bee. He landed in the courtyard, activated the Array, and then released the Wood Demon.
The Wood Demon was released again, and a Spirit Talisman was affixed to its surface.
This Spirit Talisman is also a sealing talisman.
Ye Jingcheng casually dug a hole in the courtyard and planted the Wood Demon's true form inside.
"You're very smart. Surrender or die!" Ye Jingcheng didn't say a word.
These Wood Demon are not actually cubs or newborn Spirit Beast.
However, this was a first for Ye Jingcheng, and it might even Beast Communion improve his cultivation speed in the Wood element.
That's why he took it so seriously.
Of course, they were also curious about the peaches that the Wood Demon had produced.
Ye Jingcheng felt that given the current state of the Wood Demon, it would be difficult for it to even bloom.
It's all bare, with hardly any branches.
However, that sallow face nodded.
However, Ye Jingcheng sensed that the Wood Demon was still unconvinced and seemed unconcerned about being bound by the Blood Pact.
Instead, they worried that Ye Jingcheng would kill it with a single sword strike.
It seems to be a tree that's afraid of dying!
Ye Jingcheng thought to himself.
However, this was exactly what he wanted. If it obediently followed orders, once the Blood Pact was completed and the Soul Pact was completed, then the Wood Demon would have no say in the matter.
The domineering nature of the Soul Pact allows one to understand even the thoughts and intentions of the other party.
No matter what tricks the other party tries, Ye Jingcheng will know immediately.
He was also curious about how the Wood Demon had escaped from the Array.
After all, the Array in the Lineage's Spirit Herb Garden is much stronger than the Array in the Council Hall; even a second-tier Earth Attribute Demon Beast might not be able to escape.
Ye Jingcheng began to form hand Hand Seals, and one after another, mysterious blood runes condensed.
The Wood Demon was initially worried when it looked at the runes, but then it revealed a hint of disdain.
Clearly, in its view, Ye Jingcheng could not force it into a contract.
Ye Jingcheng was happy with this arrangement; if the Wood Demon resisted, he might have been annoyed for a while.
As the Blood Pact runes were fully condensed, Ye Jingcheng took out a drop of his Essence Blood, dripped it into the runes, and then flew towards the Wood Demon's true form.
Soon, it disappeared into its main body, and at the same time, a faint spiritual light emerged from Ye Jingcheng's body again, flowing into the Wood Demon.
At the same time, a prescription for Spirit-Nurturing Liquid began to appear within the Treasure Book inside Ye Jingcheng's body.
Ye Jingcheng also developed a subtle connection with this Wood Demon.
The Soul Pact is complete.
The Wood Demon began to panic, struggling violently, its branches trembling, much like the sound of a sword.
Ye Jingcheng also tore off the Azure Cloud Ring and a sealing talisman.
The Wood Demon immediately began to flee.
However, through the Soul Pact, Ye Jingcheng only needed to think for the Wood Demon to start trembling uncontrollably, its roots flying off, appearing to be in extreme pain.
Soon, he returned to the same spot, his gaunt face and dim eyes completely devoid of his arrogance.
