“Ah …”

Chen Ruyu looked around, but she didn’t know where the cold killing intent came from. There were plenty of figures in the distance. Although those people also coveted the spirit of the ancient tree, they didn’t seem to be people who had hidden killing intent.

The real hidden killing intent was undoubtedly Beigong Clan, who was hiding in the shadows, Xiao Meng’er, who had been injured by Old man Qingyi, and the sect leaders under him.

Old man Qingyi’s killing intent was restrained, but the sect leaders nearby accidentally revealed the killing intent, so much so that the three of them noticed it.

“Elder …”

At this moment, the sect leaders of those sects had secretly condensed Genuine energy. As long as Beigong Clan, the Quasi-Saint, gave the order, they would definitely launch a fatal attack on the three of them.

But at this moment, Old man Qingyi seemed to be very hesitant, as if he was worried about something. Now was the perfect time to get rid of the three of them.

Xiao Chen didn’t have to say anything. He was the most troublesome and unstable enemy. As for Xiao Meng’er and Chen Yu Feng, they were the most outstanding members of the Xiao Clan and Chen Clan respectively. If these two people were removed, it would undoubtedly deal a huge blow to the two clans …

At this moment, the killing intent in Old man Qingyi’s eyes became even heavier. If he could get rid of these three people, it would undoubtedly be extremely beneficial to the Bei Gong clan …

However, at this moment, he had to consider the latter question. There were many people present today. If he killed these three people and let the three families know about them in the future, he would definitely not give up.

Especially Xiao Meng’er, who is also a disciple of Immortal Monarch Donghua, it seems that he will not only kill these three people, but also kill everyone present today …

In this way, no one would know what had happened in SorrowlessValley today.

“Elder …”

The sect leader beside him trembled slightly. He seemed to have seen through Old man Qingyi’s killing intent at this moment. Not only did he want to kill the three of them, he also wanted to kill everyone here today to silence them.

The killing intent grew heavier and heavier. Xiao Meng’er and the others could already clearly feel it from the tree core. However, now that the profound energy was absorbed by the spirit of the ancient tree, how could they withdraw? If the other party were to attack at this moment, the three of them probably wouldn’t have the slightest bit of strength to resist.

At this moment, a deep voice suddenly resounded in the vicinity, “Kill the three of us first, then kill everyone present today, and finally seize the Ancient Tree Spirit. Your calculations are not bad, so you might as well give it a try.”

This voice instantly caused everyone’s expressions to change. The person speaking was not Chen Yufeng or Xiao Meng’er, but Xiao Chen. He had just transmitted the voice through his inner force so that everyone in the surroundings could hear him.

“Someone … wants to kill someone here?”

Such a sentence was indeed very effective. The cultivators who were originally watching immediately became alert when they heard that someone wanted to kill someone to silence them.

Beigong Clan, Old man Qingyi, immediately had a bit of misgivings in his heart. Not to mention what would happen if the three of them counterattacked at the end of their lives. There were so many people here, but now they were all on guard. If one of them was released, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“Elder … how is it now?”

The sect leader beside them was covered in cold sweat. If they only killed Xiao Chen and the others, they would still have the courage. However, if they wanted to kill everyone here, they really did not have the courage. Once the people outside found out, they would die without a burial ground.

Old man Qingyi also knew that this move was very dangerous. If he wasn’t careful, he would be doomed. He could only continue to observe …

Time slowly passed. It was already afternoon, and there were more than twice as many people coming up here.

However, under the shadows of the leaves and branches, countless people had already arrived. Xiao Chen, Xiao Meng’er, and Chen Yu Feng were still in a stalemate at the center of the tree. It was not that the three of them were unwilling to give up on the spirit of the ancient tree, but that none of them could move now.

“Brother Chen!”

Right at this moment, a clear voice of a youth suddenly came from below. Two figures suddenly appeared between the leaves below. One was a white-clothed youth, and the other was a green-clothed girl. They were Xiao Ling’er and Leng Baihu.

“Squeak … squeak!” It was unknown when the snow fox found the two of them, but it actually followed along.

“Sister …”

Obviously, Xiao Ling’er could also see that the three of them must be in a difficult situation, unable to escape now, and she could also feel the strength of that Spiritual Energy.

The two of them moved and flew over. Seeing the Spiritual Energy circulating in the center of the tree, Leng Baihu was slightly shocked. Now that he was no longer an ordinary mortal youth, he naturally knew what this Spiritual Energy was.

“White Fox …”

Xiao Chen frowned slightly. At this moment, he was struggling to resist the suction force from the tree core. When he saw Leng Baihu approaching, he finally remembered something.

Leng Baihu was a mortal, but he was different from an ordinary mortal. Perhaps he could not fear the suction force at the heart of the tree and introduce the spirit of the ancient tree into his body.

“Brother Chen!”

Leng Baihu unleashed his qinggong and flew over. Just as he was about to reach out to pull Xiao Chen, the other party suddenly stopped him and said, “Don’t come near me!”

Hearing this, Leng Baihu was stunned for a moment. He hurriedly took a few steps back, his face slightly pale. As he sped up, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He murmured, “What, what’s wrong …”

Obviously, if Leng Baihu touched him now, he would definitely be sucked in by the spirit of the ancient tree and unable to escape.

At this moment, Xiao Chen had already thought of something. He looked at him and said with concentration, “Do you still remember the breathing technique I taught you?”

“Yes! Of course!”

Leng Baihu nodded forcefully. At the beginning, he was not familiar with this cultivation method, but even though he could not say that it was perfect, he was still able to capture it.

On the other side, Xiao Meng’er saw what Xiao Chen wanted to do. She said with a frown, “He is a mortal. If you let him absorb the spirit of this ancient tree, it will undoubtedly destroy both his body and spirit.”

“The Spirit of the Ancient Tree …”

Hearing Xiao Meng’er’s words, Leng Baihu was slightly stunned. He looked at the Spiritual Energy vortex at the center of the tree and then turned around to look at Xiao Chen. “Brother Chen, I’m not afraid. I’ll go over now!” He said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he actually flew towards the center of the tree. All the cultivators in the distance were shocked. Even with their high cultivation levels, they didn’t dare to approach him so easily. This little mortal youth really didn’t even want his life anymore?

“Ah!”

When it landed at the center of the tree, Leng Baihu felt a tearing pain all over his body. It was as if his body was about to be torn to shreds by that powerful force, and even blood oozed out of his skin.

Seeing this scene, the cultivators in the distance were all shocked. In a short moment, this youth would definitely be shattered to pieces, and his body and spirit would be annihilated!

“Chen, Brother Chen … I, I’m fine!”

Leng Baihu gritted his teeth and endured the indescribable pain on his body, just like when he broke the formation outside, he was not afraid of life and death.

Xiao Chen gradually furrowed his brows. Right now, all the opportunities were on Leng Baihu. At this moment, he did not hesitate anymore. As soon as his profound strength was activated, a strong wind surged in the surroundings. The spirit of the ancient tree immediately gathered into Leng Baihu’s body.

“Ah–”

Leng Baihu let out a painful sound. To endure such a strong Spiritual Energy, it was extremely painful. It was obviously extremely dangerous for a mortal to endure it. If his will was slightly weaker, not only would his body and spirit be destroyed, even Xiao Chen would be damaged.

“Leng Baihu …”

Outside, Xiao Ling’er was also stunned. She could feel that a mortal like Leng Baihu was suffering from pain that even many cultivators could not endure.

“Ah–”

The pain grew louder and louder. The white clothes on Leng Baihu’s body were gradually dyed red by the blood oozing out of his body. Even his eyes were oozing blood. His appearance was extremely terrifying.

Seeing the Spirit of the Ancient Tree being gathered away by this youth, Xiao Meng’er’s expression changed slightly. She looked at Xiao Chen and said, “If you don’t stop, his body will explode to death! At that time, you will also be heavily injured in your primordial spirit …”

“I, I’m fine … Brother Chen, I’m fine … Ah–”

Leng Baihu’s appearance was already extremely painful, but he was still forcefully holding on. The surrounding Spiritual Energy continued to gather into his body. It was truly unimaginable for everyone in the distance. He was clearly a mortal youth, yet he was actually able to withstand such strong Spiritual Energy!
