After the Skyfall

Chapter 848 Divine Tree Master

If Li Yi survives the tribulation at Chijin Mountain and becomes a god, then who will be the most unlucky?

It is undoubtedly Shenmu City.

Because Chijin Mountain is only 500 miles away from Shenmu City, and when a god is born, at least a thousand miles of land will become his territory. At that time, regardless of whether the blood warriors of the Shenmu City lineage agree or not, Shenmu City will be annexed.

Sensing the impending crisis, the merchants decided to relay the news back to Shenmu City. At the same time, they also planned to temporarily relocate from Shenmu City, unwilling to get involved in such a conflict.

Whether it's the Divine Blood Warriors of the Divine Tree lineage or the Crimson Gold Mountain Lord who may soon become a god, they are all people they cannot afford to offend.

When this news reached Shenmu City as quickly as possible.

Panic gripped the city of Shenmu.

"The Lord of Crimson Gold Mountain is about to become a god?" An old man who was strolling in the city was shocked when he heard the news sent back by the merchant.

His name was Mu Sang Gong. He was a wise man of the Divine Bloodline in Shenmu City. However, because he was not a Divine Blood Warrior, he was not well received even though he was a wise man. Therefore, he did not live in the city lord's mansion, but lived in the city.

"Why haven't the warriors of the Divine Tree lineage received such an important message?" Mu Sanggong was furious. Then, realizing the seriousness of the matter, he immediately rode a strange beast towards the city lord's mansion.

He knew about Da Yi, the master of Chijin Mountain. Mu Tuo, a direct descendant of the Divine Bloodline of the Divine Wood lineage, had been defeated by Da Yi on Chijin Mountain.

Later, in order to regain his dignity, Mu Tuo, along with Mu Shu and Mu Xi, prepared to challenge the Lord of Crimson Gold Mountain and take over Crimson Gold Mountain. However, they were attacked on the way, resulting in the death of Mu Xi and serious injuries to Mu Tuo and Mu Shu. They were sent back by the merchant Xiu Xiang, for which the Shenmu lineage paid a very generous reward.

After that, the Shenmu lineage temporarily abandoned its idea of ​​taking over Chijin Mountain.

It wasn't just because the power of Crimson Gold Mountain was growing stronger, but also because, according to the merchants who came and went, Crimson Gold Mountain was almost completely depleted and there wasn't much Crimson Gold left, so it wasn't worth it to start a major battle at the level of a mountain lord.

However, the death of Mu Xi, a direct descendant of the Divine Bloodline, remains a pain for the Divine Wood lineage.

"No matter what, a god must not appear on Crimson Gold Mountain, otherwise, the lineage of the Divine Tree will surely perish."

Mu Sanggong's aged hands clenched tightly. As a wise man, he seemed to have already seen the day when the Crimson Gold Mountain God sat under the divine tree, surveying his territory, and the warriors of the divine tree lineage would be wiped out as a result.

"Stop." A warrior stopped him just as the beast mount was about to enter the territory of the city lord's mansion.

"I am Musang Gong, and I wish to see the High Priest of the Wood Witch," Musang Gong said, as he removed a golden leaf from his hair that was used as an ornament.

This is a symbol of his status.

soon.

The soldiers let them pass.

Mu Sanggong followed a familiar road toward the City Lord's Mansion. The closer he got to the mansion, the more dazzling the light emanating from the golden divine tree overhead became. By the time he reached the mansion, the light was enough to incinerate a person.

Only warriors of the Divine Wood lineage can withstand the scorching golden light to enter or leave the City Lord's Mansion; otherwise, they can only walk in the shadows.

soon.

Mu Sanggong arrived at a grand hall.

But no one paid him any attention, leaving him alone there.

Mu Sanggong didn't care about being ignored. He just angrily pounded the ground with his cane, making a huge noise: "High Priest Mu Wu, come out quickly! The Divine Tree lineage is about to be wiped out, and you still don't know about this."

“A god is about to appear on Crimson Gold Mountain. The good days of the Divine Wood lineage are coming to an end. Wood Shaman, come out quickly.”

His loud shouts quickly attracted the attention of many soldiers.

"It's Lord Musang, what's wrong with you? Have you gone mad? This is the city lord's mansion, you should show some respect." A young warrior said angrily.

If Mu Sanggong hadn't been a wise man, he would have been thrown out by now.

However, Mu Sanggong ignored him and continued to shout, because the young warriors who had come were incapable of handling the situation; only the High Priest Mu Wu could deal with such a serious matter.

After a commotion...

More and more warriors gathered, and the matter eventually caught the attention of the High Priest, the Wood Witch.

"Lord Musang, you had better come to the City Lord's Mansion because it is truly for the important matter of the Divine Wood lineage. If not, even if you are a wise man, I will still punish you severely."

The high priest, the wood shaman, appeared at this moment. Although he was old, he was still strong, holding a wooden staff made from a branch of a sacred tree, exuding a powerful aura of majesty.

Because the Wood Witch is not just a high priest, but also a direct descendant of the divine bloodline, possessing great power.

“A strange phenomenon has appeared at Crimson Gold Mountain. Lightning has transformed into a vast ocean, enveloping the entire mountain range. This is a sign that Crimson Gold Mountain is destined to become a local deity!” Mu Sanggong shouted anxiously, striking the ground.

Upon hearing this, the High Priest Wood Shaman's expression immediately changed.

He immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.

The last time, the mountain lord of Chijin Mountain, Da Yi, led a group to ambush Mu Tuo, Mu Shu, and Mu Xi. Among them, the strongest warrior, Mu Xi, died as a result, and the Shenmu lineage is still thinking about revenge.

However, Crimson Gold Mountain had changed drastically. Not only had all the crimson gold been mined out, but dozens of mountain lord-level warriors had also appeared. This forced the high priest to consider the cost of revenge, and he thus abandoned his plan. But this time, the news brought by Lord Musang was even more astonishing.

A god is about to appear on Crimson Gold Mountain.

"Lord Musang, where did you get your information from?" High Priest Mu Wu asked earnestly.

Mu Sanggong said, "Now the word has spread among the merchants in Shenmu City. Many merchants are packing their things and leaving Shenmu City. They are worried that Shenmu City will be harmed after a god appears, so they have moved their wealth in advance."

"Damn it."

The high priest, Mu Wu, immediately became furious, but at the same time, he believed Mu Sang Gong's words.

These merchants would never leave Shenmu City and abandon their homes and servants because of a false rumor, so the news that a god will appear in Chijin Mountain must be true.

If that Lord of Crimson Gold Mountain truly becomes a god, then the lineage of the Divine Tree will be completely wiped out.

Such a momentous matter made the High Priest Wood Witch somewhat anxious. He roared, "Wood Flame, go and light the flames, and summon all the Divine Blood Warriors of the Divine Wood lineage to the City Lord's Mansion."

"Yes, High Priest." A warrior of the Divine Bloodline named Mu Yan paused for a moment, then immediately ran out.

He moved very quickly, and the ground shook as he ran.

Soon, a golden flame ignited from a high point in the city lord's mansion.

The appearance of this golden flame raised the temperature of the entire Divine Wood City considerably, creating a scorching heat.

The Divine Blood Warriors of the Divine Tree lineage were shocked to see the burning golden flames. They immediately dropped everything and rushed towards the City Lord's Mansion.

The golden divine fire will only be ignited when the lineage of Shenmu faces a life-or-death crisis.

soon.

One by one, powerful warriors gathered inside the city lord's mansion. They entered the main hall and saw the high priest, Mu Wu, sitting in the main seat. They all bowed to the high priest to show their respect.

Seeing the emergence of powerful divine blood warriors within the clan, High Priest Wood Witch's expression softened slightly.

But he did not speak; instead, he waited for the clan leader to arrive.

A few hours later.

The patriarch of the Shenmu lineage, also known as the Shenmu Lord in the merchant's words, flew to Shenmu City from afar on a golden phoenix.

"High Priest, what has happened in Shenmu City?" The Lord of Shenmu was a middle-aged strong man who was over four meters tall. His muscular body was covered with golden patterns that resembled leaves, and he exuded a terrifying aura.

He strode forward, his crimson-gold heavy armor clanging as he passed, and the warriors of the Divine Tree lineage made way for him.

Moreover, many people saw that the main body of the sacred tree was covered in blood, as if it had been fighting a powerful enemy not long ago.

Seeing that the Divine Tree Lord had returned in time, the High Priest Wood Shaman's mood improved slightly. He said, "Chieftain, the Crimson Gold Mountain Lord will become a god before you."

"What?" Shenmu Zhu's eyes widened immediately, also looking very shocked.

As the patriarch of the Shenmu lineage, he abandoned Shenmu City to fight and kill outside, all for the sake of becoming a god as soon as possible. Only by becoming a god could the Shenmu lineage regain the glory of its ancestors, and at the same time, the Shenmu lineage would prosper for another ten thousand years.

“That Lord of Crimson Gold Mountain is growing too fast. He barely defeated Lord Thirty, Huo Huo, before, and now he has become Lord One Hundred and is about to become a god.” High Priest Mu Wu sighed and said, “This is my mistake. If I had called you back, Chieftain, when Mu Tuo was defeated, and we had taken down Crimson Gold Mountain, none of this would have happened.”

“High Priest, this is not your fault,” said the Divine Tree Lord. “The direct descendants of the Divine Tree lineage are dwindling day by day. It is not worth sacrificing the lives of our people for a mountain of crimson gold. Besides, our Divine Tree City is not short of gold.”

"Now I want to know how long the strange phenomenon at Crimson Gold Mountain has been going on."

“It’s been less than a day,” said the High Priest, the Wood Shaman.

The Divine Tree Lord said, "It's not too late. The phenomenon of becoming a god will last for at least nine days. If the Crimson Gold Mountain Lord dies during this period, then a god will not be able to appear."

"The lineage of the Divine Tree must never be severed. I will pay any price to make that Lord of Crimson Gold Mountain disappear from this ancient land."

"Chieftain, do you intend to lead your people to attack Crimson Gold Mountain?" High Priest Wood Witch asked.

The Divine Tree Master said, "I plan to invite the other mountain lords to go together. We will give away everything, including Crimson Gold, Divine Tree, and Beautiful Maidens, and offer them a price they cannot refuse. They will then take action."

"As long as the sacred tree still exists, our lineage of the sacred tree will never decline."

The high priest, the wood shaman, saw through the clan leader's determination and courage.

This is indeed the right thing to do right now.

If we can get the help of the other mountain lords, we can prevent the appearance of a local god. Even if we have to cut down half of the sacred tree, it will be worth it.

In the future, as long as the clan leader becomes a god, then it will all be worth it.
