The sect asked me to marry, and I cultivated to the pinnacle of martial arts!

Gazing at this enormous ancient tree, Lu Ye suddenly felt a strange sensation...

It actually gave me a subtle feeling of cleansing my soul.

Just then, someone inside the ancient tree seemed to notice the arrival of strangers, and in an instant, someone came out.

When the old man who came out saw the two rabbit demons and two humans standing outside, he was clearly a little surprised.

"Who are you two?"

"Clan leader, this is the senior who just saved us. My third sister and I were outside when we happened to encounter Yuan Wang's men, who wanted to capture us."

Hu Lan said.

"What? That Yuan King is here again?" Upon hearing this, the clan leader frowned deeply.

"Not only did they come, but they also brought a squad of Spirit-Breaking Archers, as well as... four martial arts masters," Hu Lan continued.

A look of shock immediately appeared on the aged clan leader's face.

"Four martial arts grandmasters, plus a squad of spirit-piercing arrows? It seems that this Yuan King intends to gradually devour our clan and wipe them out in one fell swoop!"

A sharp killing intent flashed across the clan leader's aged body.

But soon, a bitter smile appeared on his old face.

The power of the Yuan King was still too great for them. Whether it was the army he controlled, the spirit-piercing arrows, or the experts he had recruited, they were all very powerful.

The fact that so many of their people have survived is largely due to the protection of the clan's protective array and... this ancient spirit tree of the clan's territory.

However, the clan leader soon realized something...

With an operation of this scale, it was clearly impossible for these two of their own rabbits, both at the Innate Realm, to escape; their fate was undoubtedly to be captured.

"These two guests..."

Hu Lan understood the clan chief's meaning and nodded, saying, "It was they who helped us kill all of Yuan Wang's men, which is why I wanted to bring them into the clan territory to meet you, clan chief."

Now, the old clan leader's gaze towards Lu Ye and the other person changed.

At first, he saw that the two were very young and didn't think they were too formidable, but they were able to handle four martial arts masters plus a squad of spirit-breaking archers...

Without the strength of a Grandmaster in the Mortal Realm, it would be very difficult to accomplish.

In fact, Hu Lan had something even more terrifying that she didn't reveal, because she didn't understand it either.

That is... the leading grandmaster wanted to escape, but the teleportation talisman completely failed.

Hu Lan didn't understand. Only by controlling that space could a person be locked in that place and unable to open a spatial passage. This also meant that Lu Ye... possessed the power of a domain!
The clan leader would be the most shocked to hear this news.

A moment later, Lu Ye also successfully entered the interior of this enormous ancient spirit tree.

The interior of the ancient tree is larger than imagined and is divided into many areas.

The group arrived at the reception area on the first floor.

Through the gaps in the surrounding tree branches, one could see many rabbit demons busily at work.

This kind of place was quite unusual for Lu Ye, and he looked around with some curiosity.

"Distinguished guest, please have a seat."

The clan chief smiled and greeted the two.

...

Just as Lu Ye entered the rabbit demon's territory and was being entertained, on the other side...

This is a continuous palace complex, and throughout the palaces, flags can be seen with large "元" (Yuan) characters embroidered in gold needles.

At this moment, in the largest hall, a dignified man dressed in a python robe sat in a chair and spoke in a deep voice.

"Have you received any news from the team sent to Luoshui Mountain Range to help the Grand Preceptor find the rabbit demon? Why is it taking so long?" Upon hearing this, the subordinates shook their heads.

"Your Majesty, there is no news yet... but it should be soon. This time, Grandmaster Qi Yong is leading the team, so there should be no unexpected events."

Upon hearing this, the man in the dragon robe sitting in the main seat nodded slightly.

These words were more in line with his inner thoughts: four martial arts masters, plus a squad of archers.

Even if they encounter a Grandmaster at the ninth level, they can still have some fun, unless the rabbit demon clan directly brings out their own Grandmaster.

As for Grandmasters, there are only two or three of them in the demon race. King Yuan had already instructed that after the team entered the mountain, they should first probe the outer perimeter.

Without going deep into their territory, they would not disturb the old rabbit demon clan elders, who almost always remain hidden within their clan's territory.

After all, the rabbit demon clan had considered retaliating after too many of their younger members were captured last time.

They knew that if this continued capture continued, it would eventually lead to the extinction of their race.

However, they were easily suppressed by the Imperial Advisor and his men.

If it weren't for the ancient spirit tree within the rabbit demon clan, which would enhance the strength of those old immortals within its range, and the clan's treasure, the Imperial Preceptor would have already completely wiped out the rabbit demon clan.

The Yuan King sat in the palace, waiting for news of the successful capture.

But to my surprise, time passed quickly, and half an hour went by without any further movement.

There was no response from the other side to the messages sent from here. At this point, the subordinates' expressions were no longer as calm as before.

While secretly wiping away his sweat, he continued to send messages to Qi Yong and the others who were heading to the Luoshui Mountains.

The result was still the same: nothing came of it.

Even the Yuan King, who was sitting in the chair, sensed something was wrong and frowned.

"Didn't you say there were no problems? Why haven't Qi Yong and the others returned yet?"

The subordinate quickly spoke up, saying, "The journey is probably long, and we've been delayed halfway there."

Just then, a voice suddenly came from outside the main hall.

"No need to wait any longer, they've probably run into trouble. Qi Yong and the others' soul tablets have all shattered."

As soon as he finished speaking, an elderly man dressed in a black robe walked in from outside.

Upon seeing the man in the black robe, Prince Yuan quickly rose from his seat and smiled.

"Imperial Advisor, what brings you here?"

In Qingzhou, although there is no emperor in the true sense, the major vassal kings have long since carved out their own territories and become kings.

The man in black robes before them was the one whom the Yuan King relied on most.

It was also the strongest source of confidence in the hands of the Yuan King.

With him by his side, the Yuan King was able to rapidly grow stronger during the time when various powerful forces were rising up, and today, he has become the strongest dynasty in Qingzhou.

As for the Soul Tablets, it also depends on the level of the various forces.

In some families with members at the Innate Realm, the Innate Realm expert is naturally the most important person in the clan, so it's not surprising that they would refine soul tablets.

A powerful force with a multitude of innate realm cultivators wouldn't waste time crafting soul tablets for a mere innate realm cultivator.

Yuan Wang also had over a hundred Xiantian realm experts, forming a Xiantian realm team that wielded considerable power in Qingzhou.

Only those who reach the Grandmaster realm will have access to a special soul tablet.

Upon hearing that Qi Yong and the others' soul tablets had shattered, Prince Yuan frowned and said, "Mr. Qi Yong and the others... something happened to them?!" (End of Chapter)
