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

"Didn't you say you'd been here before? Why do you need to check the map?" Lu Ye was somewhat surprised.

"Actually, I was lying to you. How old do you think I am? How could I possibly have had the opportunity to enter the Palace of Illusions twice?"

Xiao Yudie pointed to herself. Didn't she look like she was only in her thirties at first glance?

To enter the Mystic Heaven Palace twice, which would take two twenty-year periods, and considering that most people only begin to have decent cultivation in their teens, one would need to be at least forty or fifty years old to achieve this.

Lu Ye: “…”

"So the description of the valley you mentioned earlier was given to you by someone else?"

Xiao Yudie nodded: "You guessed right! It was someone else who told me. The fog crisis that I described and sensed was also told to me by the person who gave me the map."

Seeing that Lu Ye's eyes had become a little strange, Xiao Yudie said apologetically, "I didn't tell you the truth before because I was afraid you were that kind of person. But after getting to know you better, I think you are a good person and have a lot of principles."

Since the tree demon incident last night, Xiao Yudie felt that Lu Yeren was actually quite nice.

Lu Ye only felt strange for a moment, and quickly returned to normal. Being cautious when traveling is not a bad thing.

However, he originally thought that Xiao Yudie was indeed at least forty or fifty years old.

But because of his high level of cultivation, he looks young... I didn't expect him to actually be that young.

After reading it, Xiao Yudie said, "At the current speed, it should be ready by tomorrow morning."

Lu Ye calculated the time; it was two and a half days. Since flying was impossible on the third level, and therefore straight-line travel was also impossible, the time taken was manageable given the significant reduction in speed.

I originally thought that after the tree spirit fled, I might not encounter it again for a while.

To Lu Ye's surprise, the three of them continued walking under the cover of night for a while, and just as it got completely dark, they were about to find a place to spend the night.

A familiar fragrance drifted through the air from afar.

Lu Ye, who had just sat down, immediately stood up and said, "Don't move, I'll go take a look. It must be that tree demon again."

Last night, I was attacked by myself with the Four Directions Thunder Pearls, but I managed to escape using a secret technique.

But it was clear that the Bloodthirsty Tree Demon had suffered considerable damage.

Right now, they're probably just thinking about attracting a new batch of cultivators to go there and turning them into resources for their own recuperation.

It must be said that few cultivators could resist the allure of this exotic fragrance and not go to take a look.

Upon hearing this, both women nodded.

At this time, the other side.

In a grove of trees, a fruit tree about two or three meters tall stood there, emitting an extremely attractive fragrance that permeated the air to the maximum extent.

The fragrance, which could spread for tens or hundreds of miles, was carried by the night wind to reach hundreds of miles away, nearly a thousand miles.

At this moment, the Bloodthirsty Tree Demon also felt a bit gloomy.

Last night's gains could have helped me improve.

Unexpectedly, they later encountered a blood prey that launched a fierce counterattack, which not only resisted but also injured their own essence.

The energy from last night's blood-nourishing food was not enough to repair the body's core.

Therefore, tonight the bloodthirsty tree demon can only resort to its old ways and harvest another wave of韭菜 (a metaphor for easily exploited people). "Damn humans, don't let Grandpa Tree see you again, or I will definitely refine you into a Blood Soul Skeleton and torture you day and night!"

The Bloodthirsty Tree Demon harbored extreme hatred for Lu Ye.

But it also knew that the human's methods were rather strange.

I didn't even get much benefit from it.

As the figure gradually appeared in the distance under the night sky and rushed towards them, the Bloodthirsty Tree Demon's mood slowly improved.

"You have come... Offer your flesh and blood, and when the Tree Lord achieves supreme power, you will be immortal."

Just then, as the Bloodthirsty Tree Demon released a red mist, suddenly, a... appeared in its sensing area.

A rather familiar figure!
The bloodthirsty tree demon, who had just been thinking of extracting Lu Ye's blood to refine his soul, suddenly showed a hint of fear.

"Damn it...why is he here again?!"

The bloodthirsty tree demon, which had just taken root and disguised itself here, was indeed trying to lure humans to become its prey.

I definitely don't want to attract this person!
At that moment, a horrifying scene unfolded before the eyes of the other cultivators who had rushed over from all directions.

The divine tree, which originally resembled a Heavenly Origin Fruit tree, suddenly emerged from the soil and fled at a speed that even an ordinary Heavenly Realm cultivator could not catch up with.

Its lost essence has not yet been repaired, and it can no longer use that kind of essence-consuming escape technique.

Fortunately, it was also at the mid-stage of the Heavenly Realm, and its speed was not much slower than that of an average mid-stage Heavenly Realm cultivator.

"How could the Heavenly Origin Divine Fruit Tree run away on its own?! I've never heard of such a thing before."

The cultivators who rushed over were stunned. Looking at this scene, they felt that their worldview had been shaken.

"Could it be that this Heavenly Origin Fruit Tree has developed some intelligence of its own? So when it sensed danger, it triggered the instinct to run away? Some spiritual herbs do indeed possess this ability as well." A red-faced Earth Realm cultivator thought for a moment and came up with a seemingly reasonable explanation.

"What else is there to say? Even the Heavenly Realm ahead is chasing us... Let's chase them!"

The next moment, these cultivators, whose lowest level was Earth Realm, buried their heads and chased after them.

Lu Ye, who was the fastest and at the front, frowned slightly and slowed down after seeing this scene: "This tree is not the so-called Heavenly Origin Fruit Tree, but a demonic tree. Everyone, do not chase it. Last time, it reaped the lives of more than a dozen fellow Daoists."

Upon hearing this, three of the five Earth Realm experts who had come after them had a slight change in expression.

A magic tree?!
The three glanced in the direction the Bloodthirsty Tree Demon had left, bowed to Lu Ye, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

They knew Chen Beixuan's reputation; he was a formidable figure capable of defeating the Holy Maiden of the Sea Spirit Palace.

If it's something you really want, even if they go with you, they won't gain anything in the end.

The other two were somewhat skeptical, after all, Lu Ye himself was pursuing it, and now he was saying it was some kind of demonic tree?
Could it be that he still possesses such a sense of justice, intending to pursue and kill it specifically to deal with this demonic tree?

The three recognized Lu Ye and knew that he was Chen Beixuan. The other two arrived later and entered the Misty Heaven Palace at the last possible moment.

He had almost never been to the Northern Territory before and didn't recognize Chen Beixuan's appearance at all.

Therefore, they subconsciously felt that Lu Ye was trying to trick them into giving up so that he could enjoy the Heavenly Origin Divine Fruit Tree all by himself. (End of Chapter)
