"Although the large number of people coming has somewhat disrupted my cultivation, that's not the main reason."
"The main reason for leaving this place is that I fear there will be great chaos here. Some time ago, some fellow Demon Race came here and invited me to join them in dealing with the cultivators."
"I managed to brush it off before, but now I have to leave. If I don't leave, I'm afraid I'll get involved."
The tree spirit sighed.
He was doing well cultivating here.
But what happened recently chilled him to the bone.
The Demon Race has already begun secretly preparing to join forces and attack those cultivators.
If I'm not mistaken, it will be another big battle.
If he leaves too late, he'll get involved.
With his limited skills, how could he possibly withstand such torment?
He had heard that some extraordinary individuals had appeared among the Demon Race this time, but he still dared not get involved.
Besides, we can't stay here anymore.
Many of those Demon Race are capricious and cruel. If he refuses, he might be dragged away and stripped of his bark as a sacrifice to the flag.
Therefore, the tree spirit had no choice but to leave at this moment.
Yan Hong'an was taken aback upon hearing this. Judging from the tree demon's attitude towards those cultivators, he had originally thought that the cultivators would be able to suppress this demon.
But judging from the current situation, it seems that's not the case.
Based on what the other party said, it seems that cultivating immortality is not an easy thing.
"Joining forces to deal with cultivators? Do you even know what kind of people those are?"
Fang Zelin, who was standing to the side, frowned immediately upon hearing this.
Upon hearing this, he immediately realized that the deaths of his two fellow Daoists might be related to this matter.
The tree spirit turned to look at Fang Zelin, its brows furrowing slightly. Where did this person come from?
It seems I hadn't noticed this person's presence at all.
Furthermore, it's strange that he couldn't quite figure out the other party's background!
The tree spirit looked at Fang Zelin and immediately felt very strange.
"How could I possibly know? I only learned a little bit of information when they invited me. As for anything else, I know nothing."
"A few days ago, I saw a very strange black cloud, as if it were a living thing, flying towards this place. It was like a demon. I wonder if you know the origin of this black cloud?"
Hearing the tree spirit say this, Fang Zelin could only ask about the black clouds.
Since the other party had extended an invitation, they might know something about the origins of those Demon Race.
They knew the dark clouds came from that Demon Race.
"I am unaware of this matter. There are countless Demon Race capable of controlling black clouds, so how can we make a judgment based on this?"
The tree spirit shook its head upon hearing this, indicating that it did not know.
Doesn't this tree spirit know either?
Fang Zelin frowned upon hearing this, sensing that the matter was becoming somewhat troublesome.
Even the other party doesn't know, and the trail has gone cold. What should we do next?
Why are you asking these questions?
The tree spirit was somewhat puzzled; these matters had nothing to do with Fang Zelin, did they?
Furthermore, he had absolutely no idea about the black clouds the other party mentioned, so where did they get that information from?
"I just happened to run into them, so I wanted to ask why."
Seeing that the other party was unaware, Fang Zelin didn't say anything more.
The tree spirit was somewhat puzzled, but this time it didn't wait for him to say anything.
At this moment, Yan Hong'an couldn't help but ask again about the immortal.
It seems we won't get any information from here.
Fang Zelin had already made up his mind.
Since I can't find any fellow Daoists here, nor can I get any information from them, there's no need to stay here any longer.
Although, as the tree spirit said, a fairy would come here to invite the other party to join.
If he waited here a little longer, he might be able to catch a glimpse of that fairy.
However, this would inadvertently involve the tree demon.
This angered the person behind the scenes, and it wouldn't be good if they took their anger out on the tree spirit.
I'd better figure out a way to find these fairies myself.
In addition, today wasn't entirely fruitless.
It seems that the cultivators in Northern Liang are being targeted by some Demon Race.
With this thought in mind, Fang Zelin glanced back.
Wu Biling, however, was overjoyed, her eyes shining as she looked at the Wondrous Blossom before her.
With this Wondrous Blossom, her father could finally be saved!
In her joy, she was completely unaware that her servants all had hesitant looks in their eyes.
Every now and then, he would glance at Wu Biling's back with a hint of greed.
The Wondrous Blossom is far too precious. If one could manage to seize it, they would be set for life.
The servants couldn't help but swallow hard at the thought.
After hesitating for a moment, he quickly stepped forward and asked the tree spirit for some Wondrous Blossom.
However, the tree spirit glanced at the servants and then frowned, refusing their requests.
These people are not kind-hearted like Wu Biling's father.
Giving it away might unnecessarily bring you some negative consequences.
However, after he refused, a seed of greed was planted in the hearts of these servants.
They all came to this Pine Mountain together, and they all met this tree spirit together.
Why is it that Wu Biling gets a Wondrous Blossom while they get nothing?
Moreover, the tree spirit will be leaving this place later, which means they will completely lose any chance to see it again.
This means that once we get back, we won't be able to sell any information.
The disappointment they felt led them to consider taking some wrong turns.
"Miss, could you please have a glass of water?"
Fang Zelin walked up to Wu Biling and gently asked her for some water.
Upon hearing this, Wu Biling was holding Wondrous Blossom when she suddenly noticed someone approaching. She became alert and looked up to see Fang Zelin, but she still dared not relax.
"There is water, of course."
After saying that, he gestured to his maid to hand the other person water.
After taking the water bag, Fang Zelin took a small sip, but when no one was looking, he wrote a talisman inside.
Wu Biling didn't notice the looks in her servants' eyes, but Fang Zelin did.
These servants are probably harboring evil thoughts; if so, we must be on guard.
Consider it a favor they did for the box of pastries they gave me earlier.
After watching the talisman finish writing and fall into the water bag, Fang Zelin bowed and said goodbye.
Having obtained what I wanted, it's time to leave.
Wu Biling was taken aback when she heard Fang Zelin preparing to leave.
Going down the mountain at night is infinitely more dangerous. Is it safe for them to go down like this?
However, before she could ask, Fang Zelin disappeared down the steps.
