"Master Shang Xi..." A deep sorrow welled up in Jiang Jie's heart.
He admired this Martial Dao Grandmaster greatly and knew that evil truly lurked on the Wandering Isle, not only in the Forest of Staves but also in the forbidden southern area, the Morning Breeze Village. The reason no Pandaren were allowed to approach there was because it was where the evil forces of the entire Wandering Isle were most deeply entrenched, and the hermit "Wei Cangnu" guarded it.
The Pandaren have a responsibility to suppress that evil force for generations, but now, Master Shang Xi intends to eliminate it entirely by his own power.
Y'Shaarj's power resides on the spiritual and soul level, making it ineffective against external attacks; the only recourse is to target the spiritual and soul realm.
Therefore, Master Shang Xi is prepared to abandon his physical body and use the power of his body to nourish his soul in the final stages, so that his soul will become stronger and naturally detach from his body, existing in a form similar to a "wild spirit" and an " Ancestral Spirit ".
On the entire Wandering Isle, only he could do it.
This kind of demeanor is truly that of a Grandmaster.
"Master Shang Xi!" Ji Huozhang and Aysa Yunge both clasped their hands together, overcome with grief.
The little girl ran over and grabbed Master Shang Xi's arm, shaking it pleadingly, "Master Shang Xi, I still want to learn martial arts from you, please don't die!"
"Little one, I didn't die, I just continue to exist in another way. If you miss me someday, you can come to Forest of Staves to find me. Jiang is a remarkable person, he is more suitable to be your master than I am." Master Shang Xi patted the little girl's head, then put his hands together and pushed her away with a force.
Earth, fire, water, and wind—the four elemental forces—formed an isolation zone, preventing anyone from approaching Master Shang Xi. Within this zone, however, pulsated with vibrant life force, far surpassing the Chi of Jiang Jie and Elder Shaopai, along with powerful soul energy...
Jiang Jie knew that Master Shang Xi had already embarked on his journey and could not be disturbed, nor could anyone disturb him.
When he succeeds, his physical body will disappear, but his soul will live on forever, and the staff will transform into a great tree, full of life. That will be the final evidence of Master Shang Xi's existence in the material world...
Parting is sad.
Shen-zin Su stopped in the shallow water. The terrain of Azshara was special, and Bay of Storms was full of reefs. Shen-zin Su did not want to get close, so Jiang Jie and the others all left and swam across in the shallow water.
Afterwards, Shen-zin Su swam towards the deep sea, not knowing when they would meet again, perhaps years later.
"Alright, put away your sadness, we have things to do!"
Jiang Jie looked towards the land.
He saw the burning sky in the distance; there was no doubt that the Burning Legion had summoned many demons here, and Azshara was likely about to become a demon territory!
At that moment, Jiang Jie seemed to hear a call; it was a very strange feeling.
He quickly took out the Pearl of Pandaria, placed it on his forehead, and soon saw a place with lush green grass—it was a forest!
Then he saw the Orcs.
Surrounded by many Orcs, one Orcs stood out as particularly tall. In his hand was a giant axe, about 1.5 meters long, a battle axe that clearly had witnessed countless battles and drunk the blood of his enemies. Its wielder must have been an extraordinary Legendary Warrior!
In fact, this Orcs was indeed one.
His grandfather once wielded this battle axe and killed six Legendary Gronn. The power of the six Legendary Gronn was sealed within the battle axe, giving it power comparable to legendary weapons!
And he was destined to use this battle axe to accomplish even more glorious feats. Even if he died, he would win unprecedented glory for himself and his people!
As his perspective shifted, Jiang Jie saw a completely different scene.
It was a creature that was half human and half deer.
His upper body resembled that of Night Elf, while his lower body was that of a stag.
He was ten feet tall, supported by four unhooked legs. His eyes were golden, and his long, moss-like hair reached his shoulders. Leaves and twigs grew on his hair and beard, and he had two enormous, imposing antlers on his head.
This made his ten-foot frame appear even taller. He was the master of this forest, the protector of the Night Elf, the mentor of all Druid, the son of the most powerful Demigod " Malorne " and the Elune, and the Lord of the Forest.
His field of vision suddenly vanished, and Jiang Jie's expression changed drastically in an instant.
"We need to speed things up!" Jiang Jie pointed westward and said, "Our destination is Ashenvale, after we cross this desolate wasteland!"
This is somewhere in Ashenvale Forest, where hundreds of Furbolg guard a small lake, the Lake of Life, a gift from nature, the holy water of the Druid. Its owner is the master of this forest: the Demigod Cenarius.
Tichondrius, the first lord of Dreadlord, and Mannoroth, the Pit Lord, have arrived here.
" Ashenvale, even after ten thousand years, I can still recognize this cursed place! This is the territory of our ancient enemy, Cenarius!" Mannoroth, this powerful being who is nearly four meters tall, has a bulky body and a powerful tail, and his strength is even greater than that of the ancient dragons!
During the War of the Ancients, he fought against many Demigod, among whom the one he could hardly defeat was the boar Demigod Agamaggan. Of course, Cenarius's strength should not be underestimated.
"Yes, Lord Archimonde, he demands that we deal with Cenarius before attacking Mount Hyjal. He is the Lord of the Forest, and a hasty attack on Mount Hyjal will surely provoke his counterattack. He is also the summoner of the Wild God, so we must deal with him first!" Tichondrius nodded.
" In the War of the Ancients, I didn't fight him head-on. I wanted to break his neck with my own hands, just like Lord Archimonde broke his father Malorne's neck! But he's cunning and never shows himself. I suspect his true strength is weaker than we imagine!" Mannoroth roared, brandishing his Abyss Blade.
" The Orcs are plundering this forest, cutting down trees, which has angered Cenarius. You don't need to do it yourself; the mighty Mannoroth, the Orcs will take care of Cenarius for us!" Tichondrius said.
" Orcs? Those pathetic creatures have become even weaker than before! All of them combined are no match for Cenarius! Although his physical form is not as strong as mine, his spellcasting abilities are extremely powerful, and his control over the forest is terrifying!" Mannoroth said.
"Is that so? His father is dead, what can stop the Burning Legion's power? The Pit Lord possess power greater Cenarius! The Blood Pact between you and the Orcs still exists, but because of the passage of time, the power they received from you has slowly faded, even becoming weaker than before. But as long as you replenish their energy, they will become very powerful, like mighty ants!" Tichondrius said.
"What is your suggestion, Tichondrius?" Mannoroth asked.
"Do you see that Lake of Life? Infuse it with your blood, and it will become the Lake of Evil. Because of the bond between you, the Orcs will feel his power, find him, drink it, and become your servants again! Then, they will regain their unstoppable power, and countless Orcs will overwhelm Cenarius!" Tichondrius said.
"Then do it, Tichondrius." Mannoroth stepped forward and killed all the Furbolg in less than five minutes, then slit his arm and let large amounts of evil blood flow into the Lake of Life.
"Very well, now we just need to wait for the Orcs to take the bait! Archimonde has ordered me to go to Felwood to eliminate the resistance forces there and pave the way for the army! Mannoroth, Orcs and humans have come to this land, so be careful not to mess things up!" Tichondrius vanished in the blink of an eye.
"Hmph! Cunning Dreadlord! If we're talking about strength, even two of you couldn't match me!" Mannoroth looked north. " The Warsong Orcs are nearby! There's a canyon there; I'll go there and watch the show!"
