Chapter 291 Sword Scar
Chapter 291 Sword Scar
At this time, Fairy Mei took the lead, followed by Senior Sister Jia and Ju Yunhai.
The group of people looked very calm, but in fact they moved very carefully.
Only after we crossed the bamboo bridge did we escape the encirclement of those armed men.
But at this time, everyone was still unwilling to slack off, but followed Ju Yunhai's map and walked some distance to the other end of the demon forest.
"We really need to—"
Senior Sister Jia spoke only after she was sure that they were several miles away from Cangjian Villa.
But when Mei Xiangu opened her mouth, she pinched a petal in her hand and threw it into the air.
In just that instant, the wailing sounds of birds were heard in the air.
Mei Xiangu raised her head and shouted, "If you dare to spy on me again, I will kill your master as well."
Then there was a burst of bird singing, which gradually faded away.
Only then did Mei Xiangu look at Senior Sister Jia and ask her, "What did you want to say just now?"
Senior Sister Jia asked, "Are we really going to look for the Qingming Sword?"
Mei Xiangu sneered:
"I don't care whether the mission can be completed or not. If you want to go back home, that would be the best. I just want to go back and concentrate on my training."
Senior Sister Jia was obviously a little hesitant, and Ju Yunhai stepped forward and said immediately: "We have accepted the Guo family's spiritual stones, how can we go back on our word?"
These words left Senior Sister Jia speechless. According to her thinking, since the spirit stones had been collected, it didn't matter whether the matter was done or not.
Didn’t Fu Tianchou want to wipe out the entire Guo family?
Can Guo Yuanhuai still run to the Wendao Sect to appeal for justice?
"In fact, it doesn't matter whether you have the spirit stones or not. The important thing is not to ruin your own performance for a few spirit stones."
Tian Lin agreed with what Senior Sister Jia said, and he simply said, "If things don't go well, we can just give up the mission and return the spirit stones given by Guo Yuanhuai to the orphan outside the demon forest."
"Okay, then let's go find the place where the Guo family's ancestor is in seclusion."
Ju Yunhai made the final decision, put away the map in his hand and went deeper to the south.
The worst thing to do when practicing in seclusion is to be disturbed, especially when you need to make a breakthrough.
Therefore, in order to avoid his enemies, the place where the ancestor of the Guo family went into seclusion was not only deep in the demon forest where ordinary people could not reach, but even the Guo family members themselves did not know its exact location.
The group followed the directions of the sea of clouds, led by Fairy Mei, and finally walked for more than three hours.
By this time the sky was already bright, but the depths of this demonic forest were filled with towering trees that blocked out the sun and made it impossible to see the light.
Ju Yunhai said: "In previous years, I only went this deep. Going further in is mostly infested with monsters."
Looking at these plants, Senior Sister Jia said, "The demonic energy here is much stronger than elsewhere. I'm afraid it's the domain of a great demon. Should we really go in?"
"There may be some Jindan-level monsters, but if we want to encounter Yuanying-level monsters, I'm afraid they can only be found deep in the Beast Taming Sect. After all, this is still the territory of the Beast Taming Sect. As long as we act carefully, we shouldn't run into too many difficulties."
Seeing that Ju Yunhai insisted, Senior Sister Jia didn't say anything more.
Deep in this demon forest, the trees are tall but there are very few shrubs.
Not to mention that ordinary flowers and plants find it difficult to find living conditions here, even these giant trees have a long distance between them in order to compete for spiritual energy and sunlight.
Over there, Yun'er used her flying sword to cut the bark of a tree, and green juice could be seen flowing out from the trunk.
She put the bark in her mouth and couldn't help saying, "This bark seems to be spiritual liquid, it contains a lot of spiritual energy."
Ju Yunhai warned her: "Some of these trees are edible and some are not. Some can be eaten by monsters, and some cannot be eaten by humans--" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a vine in the sky lashing towards Feng'er like a whip.
It turned out that the wind also followed Yun'er's example and peeled the bark of a tree.
But Feng'er never imagined that the tree was actually alive.
Fortunately, although the tree is alive, it can only deal with Qi Refiners at most.
After all, Feng'er is in the middle stage of foundation building, so her reaction is extremely fast.
Before the whip fell on her, she grabbed the 'vine whip' with her backhand and tore the vine apart directly.
Her actions seemed to cause a chain reaction, and countless branches, vines, and roots rushed towards them from the ground and the sky.
These branches, vines and roots formed a large net, covering Tian Lin and others tightly.
Fairy Mei sneered and took out the Goddess Tree from her sleeve.
A tiny tree was inserted in a jade bottle, even smaller than when Tian Lin first saw it.
But as soon as the small tree appeared, the surrounding large nets all turned back into vines, branches and roots, and retreated rapidly, making way for the small tree.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone walked forward.
Tian Lin thought about it and took out the tree in his hand.
But his tree looked like just a small stick. It did not resemble a tree at all, nor did it have the magical power of the small tree in Mei Xiangu's hand.
When Tian Lin frowned, Mei Xiangu said, "When you feed it souls, then consider using it to fight the enemy."
Seeing Tian Lin put the tree back in disappointment, Ju Yunhai comforted Tian Lin and said, "When you enter Class A, you can explore the secret realm. There is nothing else in the secret realm, but there are countless souls and ghosts."
Mei Xiangu's mind moved and she looked towards Tian Lin.
She didn't know whether Tian Lin was moved or not, but she was obviously moved.
The Goddess Tree needs souls to grow, but the Goddess Sect does not have access to the secret realm.
On the contrary, the Wendao Sect, although it does not have the Goddess Tree, has mastered the method of entering and exiting the secret realm.
If she could enter the secret realm, her goddess tree would surely grow greatly, and her path of cultivation would surely be smooth.
"The secret realm is easy to explain, but I think these demon trees are a bit weird."
Tian Lin's eyes wandered over the trees, and everyone followed his gaze and indeed saw sword marks on many of the trees.
These sword marks were certainly not left by Yun'er and Feng'er, and these demon trees could heal their wounds in a very short time even if they were injured by ordinary flying swords.
For example, the few pieces of tree bark that Yun'er and Feng'er cut off have now grown new bark on them and look as good as new.
But some of the trees that everyone saw were not like this. The sword marks on them were extremely deep, and without a certain level of strength it would be impossible to leave such a deep mark.
These marks obviously did not remain for a short period of time. Logically, it is entirely possible for these demonic trees to heal themselves.
But it was obvious that these evil trees could not heal their wounds on their own.
"There is sword energy on the tree, so it is difficult for the demon tree to heal its wounds. And to be able to leave sword energy behind, how advanced must its swordsmanship be?"
After hearing what Tian Lin said, Senior Sister Jia frowned slightly and said, "The person who left the sword energy on the tree may not be a very skilled swordsman. It is very likely that he was holding a precious sword, and even if the sword was not in the hands of a sword cultivator, it could still emit sword energy out of thin air."
Ju Yunhai understood what Senior Sister Jia meant and asked, "Junior Sister, do you mean that the Qingming Sword has been taken away?"
