I tried to kill the heroines of destiny, but they ended up chasing after me.

……

"The approval of the Ancient Primordial Divine Tree?" Huang Quan frowned and pondered after hearing this.

He had some understanding of objects of faith, and being recognized by an object of faith was definitely not simple.

Seeing Huang Quan's thoughtful expression, Yu Fei didn't disturb him. He stretched out his hands, gently tore off a piece of the roasted meat, and ate it by himself.

At this moment, Huang Quan slowly stood up and walked to the front of the house. Suddenly, a ray of sunlight first covered his legs, and then followed his steps until it covered his entire body.

"The same?" He raised his head, ignoring the sting in his eyes, and looked at the sun in the sky... A slight smile played on his lips: "Perhaps... they are different..."

At that moment, Yu Fei, who was eating meat, suddenly stopped, and a strange look appeared in his eyes. Then he looked at Huang Quan, but he only saw his back. He murmured, "The same?"

……

Xiyu Village is neither large nor small among the villages in this area. At this moment, in a secluded place directly behind Xiyu Village, an old man sits cross-legged under a maple tree about ten meters long and half a meter in diameter with a pious expression... and his whole body is shimmering with light, as if he is sentient.

"I understand..." The old man looked at the maple tree, a glint of light in his eyes, and murmured softly.

Then, the old man seemed to remember something, and looked at the maple tree with an extremely respectful expression. He said a few words to the maple tree, as if he were having a conversation with it.

At that moment, the maple tree that heard the old man's words suddenly became dazzling after its originally dim light swirled a few times, instantly illuminating this hidden place.

Upon seeing this, the old man, who was about to get up and leave, changed his expression and revealed excitement, while he was also shocked.

"Is that so? You mean... that person has something that can restore you?"

The maple tree flashed twice more, as if in response to him.

"I see..." The old man gasped, a hint of contemplation in his eyes, and after a moment slowly said, "Unfortunately, I've already promised Yu Fei three days... This matter can only be addressed three days from now!"

At this moment, the maple tree suddenly withdrew all its light, returning to a state of calm, as if it were just an ordinary tree standing there, only looking somewhat tired, like a candle flickering in the wind.

The old man seemed to sense the maple tree's weakness, and sighed inwardly, "Alas! If it weren't for the secret technique used by Dongchen Village that shattered the altar and greatly dissipated the power of faith, the sacred tree wouldn't be in such a state... Hmph! Dongchen Village's arrogance has been far too strong lately... Although Xiyu has declined, it is by no means a pushover that can be easily bullied..."

Thinking of this, the old man turned around again, his figure gradually disappearing, and from time to time, a very strong anger flashed in his eyes.

After the old man completely disappeared from the spot, a strange crack suddenly appeared in the trunk of the maple tree, and a large eye, exuding a sense of vicissitude, slowly opened from the crack...

The moment those eyes opened, they seemed to pierce through everything, looking directly into the depths of a valley about a thousand miles away from Xiyu Village.

In this valley, which is surrounded by mountains, there is little sunlight, making it quite gloomy. However, like Xiyu Village, there are many houses and people of all sizes. Deeper inside, there is a maple tree that looks exactly like it, except that this maple tree is a deep black.

At this moment, a weathered eye opened on the trunk of the black maple tree, but it seemed to sense that in the far distance, in the village of Xiyu, the gaze of that maple tree strangely revealed a hint of contempt.

The maple tree in Xiyu Village, sensing the expression on the black maple tree's face, suddenly paused. Its large eye, seemingly filled with rage, stared straight into the distance, while the tree trunk began to tremble, as if emitting some kind of fluctuation, as if it were saying to the black maple tree with great difficulty: "Despicable...despicable!"

"Hehe! My people will soon conquer your Xiyu... When that time comes... just wait!" At this moment, the black maple tree sensed the fluctuations of the Xiyu maple tree and returned a cold laugh.

"You..." Xi Yu Fengshu's expression was very ugly. Even the leaves on the branches were angered by the black maple tree's words and a few fell off. However, these leaves disappeared strangely the moment they fell to the ground, as if they would not leave any trace in this place.

Chapter 182 Potential Trouble

"Hahahaha..." The black maple tree laughed, its expression suddenly turning extremely cold: "Hmph! Big brother, when you tore me apart, when you discarded me without a second thought, how much did you understand my feelings... Today, I'm just giving you a taste of your own medicine!!"

As soon as the black maple tree finished speaking, it seemed to lose interest in talking to the western maple tree... Suddenly, an extremely strong black light emerged from its thick trunk, directly blocking the western maple tree's view.

The two lost contact instantly.

The maple tree in Xiyu, which looked like it was in its twilight years, slowly withdrew its gaze. Hearing what the black maple tree said, it seemed to become even more weathered and sighed softly.

At this moment, it seemed as if all the past scenes were imprinted in the eyes of the Ancient Primordial Divine Tree.

Finally, it sighed again, and then its big eyes slowly closed again, as if it were asleep.

Everything here is completely peaceful.

In that valley, deep within the black maple tree, its eyes were equally still... but a terrifying stillness!

At that moment, a figure slowly walked in from the exit.

"You've arrived... How did things go?" The black maple tree showed no surprise at the arrival of the person, as if it already knew, and even sent a divine thought to this person.

The figure received the divine thought from the black maple tree and raised his head slightly. He was a young man, about twenty years old, with slightly dark skin, but he was quite handsome. He knelt on one knee and asked with a respectful expression, "Reporting to the Divine Tree, the matter is nine-tenths complete. We only need your word... before we can proceed."

Upon hearing the young man's words, the maple tree fell silent, its expression completely unreadable.

"When...can we take action?" At this moment, the young man's face showed a hint of excitement.

"Wait a bit!" the black maple tree said again.

"Why?" The young man's expression changed, and he became agitated instantly, looking utterly bewildered.

"Chen Yujie...aren't you getting a little too excited?" The black maple tree's divine sense suddenly turned cold, as if it was slightly displeased with the young man's behavior.

"Hmm? I...I...Please forgive me, Divine Tree..." Chen Yujie paused, a complex expression appearing on his face. He then forcibly suppressed his emotions and once again showed a respectful expression to the black maple tree.

"Hmph! Don't do it again next time... I have my reasons for doing this, just do as I say... Alright... You can go now!"

"Yes!" Chen Yujie replied, then immediately turned around and quickly left.

Seeing Chen Yujie completely disappear, the black maple tree's expression suddenly turned violent: "Big brother, I'll give you enough time, you should be able to recover some of it... Hmph, if it's too easy, then it's boring... I'll slowly... slowly torture you... Hahahaha..."

Xiyu Village, Yu Fei's Home.

Huang Quan sat quietly on the bed, the little spiritual energy in his body circulating on its own, as if helping him to recuperate. After a while, his complexion improved slightly, and then he opened his eyes, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked outside.

"Yu Fei said he has something to do and doesn't know when he'll be back... Oh well! I'm just staying here and eating, and it would be a bit embarrassing not to do something." Huang Quan muttered to himself, and then he decided to cook. Although he only knew how to bake, it was better than nothing.

Just then, a deep voice came from outside the courtyard.

"Hey! Is Yu Fei there?"

Huang Quan was taken aback. He was about to go and make something to eat, but after a moment's hesitation, he walked out of the house and came to the gate. However, he did not open the gate, but simply said softly to the outsider, "Sorry! He has gone out on business."

"Oh? Is that so?" The person outside the courtyard looked at Huang Quan, a strange look flashing in his eyes, and a hint of doubt appeared on his face. "That's alright, let me in first, I'll wait for him to come back."

"Alright then!" Huang Quan hesitated for a moment before placing his hands on the door lock and slowly opening it.

Suddenly, just as Huang Quan opened the door a crack, a weapon resembling a gun, imbued with powerful spiritual energy, abruptly pierced towards Huang Quan through the gap.

Huang Quan was startled and, in a panic, took several steps back, barely dodging the dangerous attack. Although Huang Quan was seriously injured and only had one-tenth of his strength left, it would not be so easy for an ordinary person to harm him.

Unfortunately, the wooden door was completely shattered by the residual wind from the opponent's attack, and wood chips and shavings were scattered all over the ground in an instant.

Huang Quan glanced at the fragments on the ground, a hint of anger and deep confusion flashing in his eyes. The attack just now might not have meant anything to him in the past, but now, his physical condition and overall strength were far inferior to before. Therefore, that attack was also dangerous. If he hadn't been somewhat aware of it beforehand, he probably would have been caught off guard.

But why did this person take action? Logically speaking, he didn't know anyone here, let alone have any deep-seated hatred for them.

Thinking of this, he finally saw the person who had come into his life clearly in his angry gaze.

Yang Wei wasn't tall, nor was he particularly handsome, but at this moment, his entire being exuded a sharpness rarely seen in ordinary people. He was somewhat surprised; he had used eight-tenths of his strength in that attack, and his offensive and speed were perfectly timed, yet the person in front of him had still managed to dodge it unscathed.

He remembered that he had never failed like this before when dealing with those wild beasts.

"So, this person possesses at least the same strength as me?" Yang Wei wondered to himself. At the same time, his gaze met Huang Quan's furious eyes, and suddenly, a look of seriousness appeared on his face: "His aura is not very stable; it seems he is injured... If he has such strength even when injured, then if this person were at his peak, he would probably be a level above me..."

"I never expected that Fei would be able to save such a master... However, he was injured after all. If I go all out, I might not be without a chance to fight back..." Thinking this, Yang Wei unconsciously revealed a fighting spirit, which was not strong but was indeed present.

Sensing Yang Wei's fighting spirit, Huang Quan was slightly taken aback, and smiled bitterly to himself. He was not afraid of fighting, but if something happened after the battle, it would be beyond his control.

It's fair to say that, knowing absolutely nothing about the situation, he had no intention of fighting at all. He understood that if he made a move, even if he won in the end, things would become extremely complicated.

In that instant, Huang Quan revealed a bitter smile, and just as he was about to speak, Yang Wei launched a new attack. In a flash, his figure turned into a blur, and the gun in his hand became one with his body as he rushed towards Huang Quan at an extremely fast speed.

Seeing this, Huang Quan frowned, but before he could say anything, he prepared to retreat again.

However, at this moment, Yang Wei suddenly gave a strange smile, which made Huang Quan feel a bad premonition. He stared at Yang Wei without looking away.

As expected, just as Huang Quan had sensed, the afterimage Yang Wei created in the instant Huang Quan dodged suddenly materialized. Furthermore, the spear in his hand solidified on this afterimage. This afterimage, wielding the spear, followed the original attack and rushed towards Huang Quan at an even faster speed than before.

If you look at the two of them more closely now, you can clearly see that the figure of the person who attacked earlier has become indistinct, while the afterimage that followed has become as real as a real person!

Huang Quan's gaze was calm, but in his heart, he was bitterly smiling... He already understood what Yang Wei's move was all about... He started by creating a solid illusion as a feint attack, making the opponent think it was the real body, and then, after attracting the enemy, he would unexpectedly use the real body to attack, thus gaining the upper hand and winning in one move.

Huang Quan was quite aware of the advantages and disadvantages of this technique. To use it, one must first be able to control spiritual power with extreme precision, thereby creating a false illusion to paralyze the opponent. In addition, one's speed must be superior to that of the opponent... otherwise, if the opponent is faster than oneself, this technique will be easily detected.

"It seems he's very confident in his speed!" Huang Quan thought to himself.

That's right, Yang Wei is a speed expert. Despite his youthful appearance, his speed is quite impressive in Xiyu Village, even faster than some adults and wild animals.

All of this, though a long story, was actually just a fleeting moment.

Just as Yang Wei's main body moved, the illusory body that had attacked earlier dissipated, and its real attack had already reached Huang Quan's doorstep.

At this moment, the image of that spear was vividly imprinted in Huang Quan's eyes, and his brows furrowed slightly. If Huang Quan hadn't been injured, he could have easily neutralized this attack, but now it was a bit troublesome.

Even so, it doesn't mean he has no way out.

After all, Huang Quan's true strength was at the ninth level of the Wangtian Realm. Even without the power given by the True Profound Ancestor, his strength was enough to fight against a cultivator in the early stage of the Spirit Dao Realm. How could such a strong person be harmed by this little boy with such a small attack and such a small amount of power? How could he possibly feel threatened?

But at that very moment, just as Yang Wei's spear was striking like a dragon, and Huang Quan was preparing to act, a very urgent voice, filled with anger, rang directly in their ears.

"Stop it, all of you! You even tore down my door... What are you trying to do?"

As expected, the visitor was Yu Fei.

Yu Fei was furious. He had only been gone a short while, and his front door had been damaged like this. In fact, even the "corpse" of the door wasn't intact. This was incredibly embarrassing for him!

"Ah! You've turned my house into a fighting arena? Don't you know that repairing the gate is very expensive these days... Ah! You... you're really making me angry... Sigh! Now, repairing the gate will cost another sum of money..." Yu Fei pointed at the two of them and suddenly roared, and when he thought of the repair fee, he felt a pang of heartache.

Upon seeing that the newcomer was Yu Fei, the two immediately withdrew their attacks.

Upon hearing the roar, Yang Wei's expression suddenly changed. Without the slightest hesitation, he leaped backward and returned to the spot where he had attacked. He then retracted his hand, and the spiritual energy on the gun dissipated into the air. The gun was then planted in the ground with a loud thud. However, his expression turned somewhat unnatural as he looked at Yu Fei.

Huang Quan didn't appear as unnatural as Yang Wei. He stood there calmly, motionless... only a hint of coldness lingered in his eyes, just like Yang Wei.

Seeing the two of them like this, Yu Fei felt a nameless fire rise in his heart, and this nameless fire became even more intense when he looked at the broken wood chips... But he still managed to suppress the eruption of this nameless fire, but his face turned red at this moment.

"Can anyone tell me what's going on?" Yu Fei asked coldly.

However, when faced with Yu Fei's question, the two of them surprisingly remained silent and did not say a word.

"Hmm?" A hint of surprise flashed through Yu Fei's mind.

However, he was not stupid at all; on the contrary, he was very smart. Otherwise, he would not have been chosen by the clan leader and thus received so much attention.

At this moment, he frowned slightly. His gaze first fell on Huang Quan's calm expression and Yang Wei's slightly unnatural look. After recalling their fight and the news he had just heard in the village, a glint flashed in his eyes, as if he understood something.

But the moment he thought of this, the nameless anger in his heart vanished without a trace, leaving only a sigh, and his eyes revealed a hint of helplessness in that instant.

Although Huang Quan has temporarily lost the strength of the ninth level of the Sky Gazing Realm, he still retains the profound meaning of the Sky Gazing Realm. He noticed the abnormality in Yu Fei the moment she did so... His gaze fell on Yu Fei, and it was unclear what he was thinking!

Yang Wei felt uneasy. He leaned slightly towards Yu Fei and said with a complicated expression, "Afei, I'm trying to help you!"

“I know, but you’re doing it the wrong way,” Yu Fei said, shaking her head.
