The Little Novice Monk Beneath the Bodhi Tree

"Elder He, it's been a long time! You look rather disheveled!"

In mid-air, Jiufeng, the young patriarch of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, looked at Zuo He with a half-smile and said...

"Young Jiufeng?"

Upon seeing Jiufeng, Zuo He was stunned for a moment, but also breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, the members of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan slowly descended from mid-air and joined the people of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace.

"Young Clan Leader Jiufeng, thank you so much for your help this time!"

At this moment, Dai Chenhai expressed his sincere gratitude to the other party.

The others also looked at the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan with gratitude.

None of them expected that at this crucial moment, it would be the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan who would make a move.

In fact, very few people know about the relationship between the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace and the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan.

Even within the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, most people only know that the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan caused trouble at their Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, and that an agreement was subsequently reached so that the two sides would no longer be hostile to each other.

Only those of the Eight Elders or higher status knew that several Dou Sheng of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan had a portion of their Soul Origin controlled by their own Palace Master, and their lives were entirely at the Palace Master's discretion.

As for how outsiders perceive them, the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan and the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace are, if not mortal enemies, at the very least, adversaries.

However, it is truly unexpected that the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan would step in to save the people of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace when they were in danger!

Hun Yu of the Hun Clan had already colluded with Jiufeng, intending to launch a joint attack on the people of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace and the Starfall Pavilion under the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

Now, after seeing this scene, he has no idea how many cold sweats have been pouring down his back!

He was so close; he probably would have been betrayed by those old foxes from the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan!

Especially considering that he had just been discussing with Jiufeng how to deal with the people from the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace and Starfall Pavilion, seeing this scene now made Hun Yu's back teeth almost grind to dust.

At the same time, Hun Yu was also relieved that the leader of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace was not very bright, which led everyone into danger and forced the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan to expose their relationship in order to save them.

Otherwise, he might have been sold off by Jiufeng and was still helping her count the money!

"Jiufeng, Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, I'll remember you!"

After giving the Heavenly Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan members a hateful look, Hun Yu continued to lead the rest of the Hun Clan towards the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

On the other side, Jiufeng showed a disdainful expression when faced with the gratitude of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace members.

"You don't need to thank me. In fact, I didn't want to help, but my father received a message from Palace Master Lin Xiao, asking me to lend you a hand if you were in danger..."

Jiufeng shrugged, her expression one of helplessness.

He didn't really want to deal with the people from the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace.

Because it would make him feel strange.

Although only his father and three Grand Elders had a portion of their Soul Origin controlled by the Palace Master of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, the four of them were the root of the Heavenly Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan!

Therefore, their subordinates had no choice but to obey.

"So it's the Palace Master... It seems I've failed to live up to the Palace Master's trust!"

Having narrowly escaped death, Zuo He has finally calmed down, and his face is full of self-reproach.

As the First Elder of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, he naturally knew that if it weren't for him, the relationship between the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace and the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan wouldn't have been exposed to others so early.

Now, the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan can no longer be the sixth in command.

"The Palace Master's considerations are as thorough as ever!"

Someone sighed.

"Tsk tsk~, as expected of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, even the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan is its ally?"

This was a compliment from Xiao Yan.

He had been wondering why Supreme Elder Lin would let Zuo He mentality was clearly problematic, lead the team.

So that's what they had in store for me!

The women beside Xiao Lin naturally agreed with his words.

Subsequently, after Zuo He calmed down and with the addition of members of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, their advance towards the Bodhi Ancient Tree finally proceeded without any further incidents.

Xiao Lin, standing amidst the Bodhi Ancient Tree, witnessed this entire scene.

"It's a pity we still had to use our backup plan... But being able to help Old Zuo makes it all worthwhile!"

Xiao Lin murmured something under his breath.

"Thump~"

Just as Xiao Lin finished speaking, he suddenly sensed someone approaching.

Subconsciously, Xiao Lin turned his gaze toward the source of the sound.

Immediately afterwards, in the inner space of this Bodhi Ancient Tree, in a place where no one else should have been, another person appeared!

Suddenly, Xiao Lin's pupils widened slightly...

"Boom"

In the Vast Desolate Ancient Region, someone finally traversed countless beast tides and arrived beneath the Bodhi Ancient Tree!

They all came in teams; below the Saint Realm, an individual generally lacks the strength to easily push through to the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

Within the shade of the Bodhi Ancient Tree, no ferocious beast dared to approach even a fraction of a second!

This is the deterrent effect of the Bodhi Ancient Tree on ferocious beasts.

After all, no ferocious beast wants to become nourishment for the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

"Phew~, we finally got through that awful place outside!"

"Hahaha, those ferocious beasts finally dare not chase us anymore!"

"Bodhi Heart, Bodhi Seed, I'm here!"

"Under the Bodhi Ancient Tree, it truly is the safest place!"

"Don't be careless. According to our clan's records, coming to the Bodhi Ancient Tree is only the first test."

"If I remember correctly, the Bodhi Ancient Tree itself will set trials for people next, right? Only those who pass the trials set by the Bodhi Ancient Tree will be qualified to obtain Bodhi Seeds, or even Bodhi Heart..."

"It's safe under the Bodhi Ancient Tree, but it's said that the Bodhi Ancient Tree itself is the most dangerous place!"

"We've come this far, there's no turning back, let's go!"

A group of people began to walk towards the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

However, this last stretch of road, which seemed to be without any danger, made everyone walk with extreme caution.

The Bodhi Ancient Tree has recovered to its original height of ten thousand feet, and the area of its shade has also become much larger.

To be honest, this last stretch of road wasn't short at all.

After continuing their journey, the group finally arrived at the foot of the Bodhi Ancient Tree!

"Hmm? Look, there's someone under the Bodhi Tree!"

Someone gasped in surprise.

"How could that be? Could it be that someone else arrived under the Bodhi Ancient Tree before us?"

The person who spoke next had an expression of disbelief on their face.

"Be careful, something's fishy. Don't let your guard down!"

This was a warning that someone who sensed something was amiss couldn't help but utter.

Closer, closer and closer...

At the same time, Xiao Yan finally saw the figure clearly: a young novice monk dressed in plain clothes.
