Tianyuan Xuanxian

Chapter 96: Avoiding the Yi Tree

Hearing Chen Xuan's words, the Little Tiger King gave a bitter smile, then pointed at Zhu Yin who was watching the show and said:
"Fellow Daoist, why don't you ask him why I'm chasing him?"

Hearing this, Chen Xuan was stunned, then turned to look at Zhu Yin.

When he saw the storage bag hanging on Zhu Yin, his expression immediately became strange.

"So, you stole all those storage bags from my retreat?"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yin shook his head.

Seeing this, the Little Tiger King's face was covered with anger, and he said:

"The facts are right in front of us. We have witnesses and evidence. If it wasn't you who stole it, who else could it be?"

After saying that, he turned to look at Chen Xuan and talked about the recent appearance of bandits around him, which made the demon tribe panic.

At the same time, he also explained why he was chasing after her.

Listening to the Little Tiger King's account of the numerous evil deeds committed by Zhu Yin, Chen Xuan's expression became uncertain.

He turned around and looked at Zhu Yin fiercely.

He knew that this thief must be Zhu Yin, otherwise how could he explain the mountain of storage bags in his retreat.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yin said with a look of grievance:

"I picked it up, how can I say it was stolen?"

"joke!"

At this moment, the little tiger king's face was full of anger, and he said sternly:

"The essence of the earth veins is located in my treasury, which is protected by a large formation. Are you going to say that you picked it up from my treasury?"

"Fellow Taoist, please be patient."

At this time, Chen Xuan spoke and said to the Little Tiger King:

"I know Zhu Yin's character very well. He would never do such a sneaky thing. Fellow Daoist, why don't you listen to his explanation first?"

However, after hearing what Chen Xuan said, the little tiger king's face became even more angry, and he immediately said angrily:

"Who are you scolding? I'm a tiger!"

"what?"

Hearing the words of the Little Tiger King, Chen Xuan and Zhu Yin were both stunned. Then Chen Xuan was the first to react. His expression froze on the spot, and he muttered inwardly:
"No, that's the point, isn't it?"

Then he looked at Zhu Yin, his face darkened, and asked:

"Tell me, what's going on."

Zhu Yin had not yet reacted to why the Little Tiger King was angry again. When he saw Chen Xuan speak, he immediately began to explain.

"I picked up these storage bags from a tree hole. Every once in a while, a storage bag will appear in that tree hole. If you don't believe me, I'll take you to see it!"

After hearing Zhu Yin's explanation, a look of doubt appeared on the little tiger king's face, but he still said nothing. He just snorted coldly and looked at Zhu Yin coldly, as if he was thinking about the truthfulness of Zhu Yin's words.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan stepped forward and motioned Zhu Yin to hand over the storage bag on his body. Zhu Yin immediately showed an extremely reluctant look, but after some hesitation, he still handed it to Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan took the storage bag and handed it to the Little Tiger King without even looking at it.

The Little Tiger King immediately reached out and snatched the storage bag. He scanned the contents with his spiritual sense, and his expression eased a little before he said,
"In that case, I will believe you this time, but if you lie, I will never forgive you!"

Chen Xuan nodded repeatedly, then let Zhu Yin lead the way, and he and the little tiger king followed Zhu Yin and flew in one direction.

Soon, a large primeval forest appeared in front of them.

As you step into this primeval forest, a rich aura of spiritual energy washes over you. Ancient, towering trees reach the sky, blocking out the sun, their branches intertwined and vines tangled. Each of these old trees has branches so thick that it takes several people to hug them, giving you a sense of age-worn beauty.

The three of them quickly moved through the dense forest. After an incense stick of time, Zhu Yin finally stopped in front of the tallest ancient tree.

Chen Xuan and Little Tiger King followed closely.

Chen Xuan raised his head and looked at the ancient tree in front of him. It was taller than any other tree in this dense forest, reaching hundreds of feet high, and its trunk was extremely thick.

Standing under the tree, the breath of time blew in their faces, making Chen Xuan and the little tiger king's minds quiet.

After a while, the two came out of this feeling. They looked at each other, and there was shock in their eyes.

Zhu Yin had climbed up the branches nimbly and stopped only when he was close to the treetops.

Chen Xuan and Little Tiger King immediately flew forward to check.

There was a huge tree hole in the center of the trunk of the ancient tree. There were little green lights in the hole. Upon closer inspection, these green lights were actually a unique juice.

Chen Xuan stepped forward, reached out his hand, picked up a little juice, put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it. Suddenly, a fragrance entered his brain, making him feel relaxed.

"This is... Jianmu!"

The little tiger king showed an incredible look on his face and spoke.

"Jianmu!"

Hearing this, Chen Xuanhuo turned around and looked closely at the giant tree in front of him, as if he was looking at a huge treasure.

It is rumored that Jianmu can communicate between heaven and earth, linking the two worlds, and is even known as the ladder to heaven. Moreover, above Jianmu, the laws of the great way are intertwined, and it contains three thousand worlds.

Even Chen Xuan, who didn't know much about the cultivation world, knew some of its legends.

If the tree in front of us is really the legendary Jianmu, it will probably cause a huge uproar in the Tianyuan Continent!
However, at this moment, Zhu Yin glanced at the two of them indifferently, and sneered:
"I've never seen the world."

Seeing Zhu Yin's expression, the little tiger king frowned slightly and looked at Zhu Yin and said:

"What do you, a little spider in the Foundation Establishment Stage, know? How dare you say I've never seen the world? Then tell me what this tree in front of you is!"

Zhu Yin curled his lips, and when he saw Chen Xuan looking over, he replied:
"It's just a sentient tree. What's the big deal?"

After saying that, Zhu Yin no longer paid attention to the two of them, but turned around and stared intently at the depths of the tree hole.

"Avoiding the Yi tree?"

Hearing this, Chen Xuan glanced at the little tiger king beside him.

The little tiger king explained, "The so-called Avoidance Tree is a tree that can change its aura at will. They can use it to avoid natural enemies or to intimidate other creatures.

It is said that its juice can conceal the aura of a cultivator and is a necessary ingredient when refining certain magical instruments that conceal one's appearance."

Chen Xuan suddenly realized and couldn't help but admire in his heart that the world is really full of wonders. No wonder he and the little tiger king both admitted their mistakes.

The little tiger king looked at Zhu Yin with a look of surprise on his face.
"The Biyi tree is an extremely rare species. I only came across it by chance in some ancient texts of my clan. How did you recognize it at first sight?"

Zhu Yin did not react at all after hearing what the little tiger king said. Instead, he stared into the depths of the tree hole with shining eyes, muttering:

“This shouldn’t be the case~”

Hearing this, a look of doubt appeared on the little tiger king's face again. He looked at Zhu Yin and said:

"What do you mean by 'not supposed to happen'? Could it be that you are that thief? All your previous statements were just to deceive me! We have been here for a long time, but why haven't we seen any storage bags appear in the tree hole?"

Zhu Yin ignored the little tiger king, but just closed his eyes slightly, as if sensing something.

A moment later, Zhu Yin's expression changed drastically. He let out a groundhog-like scream, and then his body turned into a black streak of light and flew quickly into the distance.
