Chapter 1481:- Bountiful Harvest (6)
Therefore, she obediently consumed the soul fruit.
Puchi!
After consuming the soul fruit, Lin Ruobai suddenly spat out blood, and her body swayed before falling into Xiao Mo's embrace.
Su Jun saw Lin Ruobai in Xiao Mo's embrace and fumed, but seemingly recalling something, he sneered, "According to what I know, people who consume the soul fruit will enter a sleeping state for many days. Exactly how many days she'll be asleep depends on her physique, and she'll most likely regain consciousness after half a year."
Su Jun's eyes twinkled, and he sneered, "Do you know how huge a mistake you've committed?"
"I don't know what I've done wrong." Yun Luofeng quirked her brow, looking at Su Jun and spoke with a cold tone. "I only know that you've committed an unforgivable mistake! Yun Yi, kill everyone who came today without exception!"
Yan Ke and her company were surprised, perhaps not expecting that Yun Luofeng intended to slaughter everyone. However, after thinking it through, they understood. She had a personality of returning what was directed to her, so what was wrong if she killed those who wanted to kill her?
A weak person was often bullied and only by being evil would others fear you!
In a flash, Yun Yi dashed forth and killed. His silhouette was similar to a killing god, easily turning them a corpse by raising his hands.
Su Jun cast a meaningful glance at Su Luochen, and after understanding his intentions, he attacked Yun Luofeng behind Yun Yi's back.
"Damned woman, I will cripple you today and let's see if you dare to be so overbearing!"
Seeing Su Luochen dashing towards Yun Luofeng, Yan Ke and the rest hastily shouted, "Miss Yun, careful!"
Although Yun Yi was strong, they were unaware of Yun Luofeng's strength. Therefore, after witnessing Su Luochen's action, they hastily shouted in warning.
Standing in the breeze, the young lady did not move in the slightest, with her white robes fluttering along with the wind, radiating wickedness. The moment Su Luochen arrived before her, she quirked her brow and her eyes filled with indifference looked at the vicious man.
Her hand lightly raised...
Pa!
...and a slap landed on Su Luochen's face. This slap was very soft, and seemingly no energy was used behind it.
Various factions who witnessed this scene shook their heads and sneered. Only Yan Ke and the rest had bitter smiles on their face. They were a distance away from Yun Luofeng and were unable to help her. Only now did they have the time to stop Su Luochen. However, what followed caused everyone to be dumbstruck.
Su Luochen's head was like a spinning top, turning without stopping with Yun Luofeng's soft and gentle slap.
He wanted to scream for help but wasn't able to produce any sound. This lasted until a cracking sound was heard as his head broke off, tumbling on the ground with fresh blood spraying everywhere, freeing him from the dizziness.
On the mountain summit, it was deadly silent, to the extent the sound of the wind blowing could be clearly heard.
Su Jun was long shocked into silence and what followed was fear and happiness that stemmed from his heart. He feared Yun Luofeng's strength and felt happy that he did not attack her earlier on...
Otherwise, under this slap, it would be hard for him to survive. The irony was that he actually believed that Yun Luofeng was a sky-level cultivator!
Suddenly, Su Jun seemed to recall something and ground his teeth. "You did this deliberately! You must have deliberately harvested the jade snake grass, making us lower our guard and fall into your trap! How can a woman be so evil? If it weren't for you, there wouldn't be so many deaths!"
.
.

Chapter 1482:- Bountiful Harvest (7)
That's right. If Yun Luofeng hadn't harvested jade snake grass and coincidentally allowed them to chance upon her actions, which resulted in them determining that her strength was weak, he would not make use of others to encircle and annihilate Yun Luofeng.
Therefore, everything was Yun Luofeng's fault!
"On purpose?" Yun Luofeng smirked and her tone was eerie. "Are you deserving?"
Su Jun's expression was deathly pale. He retreated and looked at Yun Luofeng in fear. The reason was that he realized that Yun Luofeng's figure was gradually disappearing...
That's right! Her figure was gradually fading away, disappearing from head to toe as if she was blending into the surroundings.
"Master!" Xiao Mo's saw the strange phenomenon happening to Yun Luofeng. He dashed toward her without hesitation while holding Lin Ruobai, and hastily grabbed her hand. After touching Yun Luofeng, Xiao Mo's body also started to fade away, slowly disappearing...
"Miss Yun!" Yan Ke and the others also wanted to dash over, but by the time they arrived before Yun Luofeng, she had already disappeared.
Without Yun Luofeng's commands, Yun Yi began to brandish his fists in confusion. He was just like a brainless machine, and his killing became irregular.
"Let's go!" Su Jun did not dare to oppose Yun Yi, and taking advantage when he was attacking others, he led the Xuanqing Sect and hastily evacuated. This was the aftermath of Yun Yi without wisdom.
A puppet without wisdom would only battle in accordance with their master's commands and would not have independent thoughts. Thus, he didn't know that he had to stop the Xuanqing Sect from escaping at this moment.
Of course, there was another characteristic with this type of puppet. It was similar to the little loli that Yun Luofeng gave to Old Han. When their master encountered danger or was injured, it would attack on its own accord. However, they would not have independent thought. Although they had a powerful body, they wouldn't know how to utilize it.
"What now?" Yan Ke foolishly looked at the spot where Yun Luofeng and Xiao Mo disappeared, with confusion contained in her gaze, evidently not knowing what to do.
"They only disappeared and didn't die," Fu Jun clenched his teeth, "We can wait for them here. They will return."
Yan Ke sighed. "Right now, this is the only viable action. Unfortunately, those from the Xuanqing Sect escaped. If they manage to locate Miss Yun's Family, perhaps they might cause trouble for them. Speaking of that, this incident was caused by us."
Hearing her words, all four of them carried remorse on their face. If it weren't for them, Yun Luofeng wouldn't have been in a dispute with the Xuanqing Sect.
...
Just as Yan Ke and company was feeling confused by Yun Luofeng's disappearance, Yun Luofeng had appeared within a room.
The interior of the room was ancient, with a few books placed on the table. There were even a few trees acting as pillars within the room, evidently for someone to take a rest.
"I've finally waited for your arrival, the successor of the Saintly Virgin Tribe." A voice from far away, seemingly passing through a millennium of time and space entered Yun Luofeng's ears.
Turning around, Yun Luofeng saw a woman in green-robes with two emerald green tree leaves on her head walking over slowly. Her appearance was lucid and elegant, beautiful as if a tree immortal was walking out from a painting, and was unforgettable.
"This is within the life tree?" Yun Luofeng lifted her brow, looking at the woman before here. "Why have you brought us into the life tree's body?"
The woman gently smiled, slowly walking to Lin Ruobai who was unconscious.
.

Chapter 1483:- Bountiful Harvest (8)
"Many came here to explore during this period but they weren't the one I'm waiting for. Therefore, I killed them all and made their corpses disappear."
Yun Luofeng finally understood why she had seen so many corpses on the way but after arriving at the mountain summit, there was not a single corpse. So as it turns out, it was this tree spirit's work.
"The guardian beast of this soul fruit was also killed by you?"
"That's right," The woman smirked. "Anyone who sees the life tree should die. Of course, except for her." The woman raised her chin, while her voice contained arrogance. "I spared your life only because you have a close relationship with her."
Yun Luofeng narrowed her eyes, and a cold glint streaked across her eyes. "You mean, without Xiao Bai's existence, you would kill me too?"
"That's right, only the Saintly Virgin Tribe can possess the life tree," The green-robed lady's expression looked down at her. "However, the successor of the Saintly Virgin Tribe has yet to awaken, and I want her to stay in the tree. As her friend, it's inevitable and right that you have to stay and accompany her."
Yun Luofeng's chilly eyes glanced at the green-robed lady and she coldly said, "What if I refuse?"
"Egotistical human!" The green-robed lady snorted, and instantly, a huge wind appeared with a raise of her hand, attacking Yun Luofeng.
Bang!
Although Yun Luofeng blocked the attack, she had been struck by the force and her body recoiled at high speed until she hit the wall.
"Master!" Xiao Mo's expression changed and furiously glared at the green-robed lady. "You're just a tree that formed a spirit yet you dare to injure my Master! Don't think that I won't pluck all your leaves!"
The green-robed lady smirked with contempt. "With your strength? If I'm not wrong, you should be in love with my tribe's successor. Unfortunately, our tribe has never allowed any dealings with men from the outside world. Don't even think about having her in your life!"
Yun Luofeng stopped Xiao Mo who was overflowing with rage and her wicked and sinister eyes slowly turned towards the green-robed lady.
"Neither will I stay here nor give Xiao Bai to you."
From the start, Yun Luofeng was indeed tempted by the life tree. However, after knowing that a tree spirit existed within, she temporarily abandoned this thought. The top priority matter now was to bring Xiao Bai and Xiao Mo out of here!
"After coming, you're thinking about leaving?" The green-robed lady laughed mockingly. "It's because of my tribe's successor that I didn't kill you! Don't win an inch and want a foot!"
Yun Luofeng coldly smiled. "If you don't let us go, even if I have to slaughter my way out, I will definitely leave!"
No one could stop her path!
"Keke!" The green-robed lady sneered, "Then let me see your strength?"
Boom!
In a flash, she rapidly rushed to Yun Luofeng. Her foot was similar to a gust of wind, kicking Yun Luofeng's stomach at high speed.
Even though Yun Luofeng nimbly used her arm to block her attack, she had still been sent flying by this kick and her body heavily rammed against the ice-cold wall.
This woman was very strong... She should be more powerful than Huohuo! However, she hadn't advanced above sage-lord level yet and was still within that range.
"Master!" Xiao Mo was extremely anxious, and even his voice contained panic.
"Don't come here!" Yun Luofeng slowly stood up from the ground and looked straight at the green-robed lady.
"Is your strength only at this level?"
.
.
.
Chapter 1484:- Bountiful Harvest (9)
Not expecting Yun Luofeng could stand up after receiving her attack, a trace of shock surfaced in her eyes. "You're different from the humans I've seen before. Unfortunately, humans are still humans."
Humans were excessively avaricious, selfish, vicious and merciless, incomparably sinister!
"Forget it."
Meeting her pair of wicked eyes, she waved her hands while her tone softened. "I don't need you to stay and accompany my successor. Right now, you can leave but I hope you will draw the line with her and never to meet her again in the future."
Yun Luofeng stood upright before the green-robed lady, while determination could be seen across her gorgeous appearance.
"I brought Xiao Bai here and so I have to bring her away!"
"Hmph!" The green-robed lady snorted. "I've given you a living path but you don't know what's good for you. Right now, I'll let you have a taste of the consequences for offending me!"
Whoosh!
The lady slightly raised her hand and countless tree branches came from all directions, attacking towards Yun Luofeng. These tree branches were similar to a moving dragon, flexible with vitality. The dark green branches seemed to be infused with life and hastily attacked her.
"Master, be careful!" Xiao Mo carefully placed Xiao Bai on the ground and rushed towards Yun Luofeng without care. Fury surged forth from his eyes while flames of wrath ignited from his body.
However... just as he was about to reach Yun Luofeng, the tree branches that were infused with life wilted in an instant and weakly drooped.
The green-robed lady turned pale from fright and retreated, while her dark green eyes stared intently at Yun Luofeng.
A white light flashed past and in an instant, a little boy in white clothing stood before Yun Luofeng.
This little boy's appearance seemed to be carved from jade and his round eyes were filled with menace, different from his previous innocent and naive look. At this moment, he was like a blood-soaked little demon, while the aura on his body caused one to feel fear.
"A little tree like you dares to bully my mother?" The little boy's enunciation was clear yet filled with killing aura.
Although this little one hung around Yun Luofeng with an innocent and naive looking appearance, don't forget about his identity. He wasn't a human or a spirit beast! He was a tree that transformed into a human, and this tree had actually existed thousands of years ago. However, he had received grave injuries and so had regressed back into a tree.
How could this tree that was filled with killing aura be innocent and adorable as a human child? He was the most dangerous existence alongside of Yun Luofeng!
While being flustered, the green-robed lady once again directed the tree branches to attack Yun Luofeng and others. The next second, she was dumbstruck. The tree branches that were supposedly directed towards Yun Luofeng had actually reversed and attacked her.
Under the abrupt situation, the lady's clothes had been torn by the tree branches while the sharp ends sliced her tender skin and fresh blood oozed out.
Fortunately, the recovering ability of the life tree was very strong so her wounds were enveloped by a layer of faint green light and were currently recovering. However, at this moment, she could not attend to her pain as her eyes filled with shock stared unwaveringly at Little Tree, and her whole face revealed disbelief.
"How... how? We are different types of tree species, how could you possibly control my branch? Unless, unless you are.."
.
.
.
Chapter 1485:- Bountiful Harvest (10)
The green-robed lady bit her lips tightly, unable to speak her last few words.
How was it possible?!
Why would someone of that existence appear here and willingly acknowledge a human as master? However, other than him, who could have such abilities?
"Kneel down!" The little boy had his hands behind his back as he coldly shouted.
He seemed to be a monarch seated up high, looking disdainfully at the green-robed lady from the corner of his eyes.
Putong!
Unable to control herself, she knelt before Yun Luofeng with a plop. Cold sweat surfaced all over her forehead while her delicate body suddenly trembled.
"Mother." After Little Tree glanced at the green-robed lady, he turned towards Yun Luofeng and his monarch aura suddenly disappeared, recovering to his previous naive and innocent look.
"This bad woman dared to bully you. Should I beat her up to vent your anger for you?"
Originally, Little Tree intended to rush out to teach this woman a lesson upon witnessing Yun Luofeng getting bullied. However, since she was afraid that the spirit beasts would be in danger due to their impulse, she had severed the connection with the God Code World and he was unable to come out.
Although Little Tree was very powerful, the God Code World did not listen to his commands. If the connection was severed, he couldn't come out. Fortunately, Xiao Mo tried everything as a last resort, taking advantage of when Yun Luofeng relaxed her vigilance and had secretly used his own power to recover the connection with the God Code World.
As such, Little Tree was able to come out and teach this green-robed lady a lesson.
Thinking of this, Little Tree angrily pouted. "Mother, sister Huohuo told me to tell you this. Although she knows you're worried about them, your action of acting on your own initiative made them very angry! She said that the moment she decided to follow you, she already intended to face life and death beside you. Yet, you're facing all the dangers alone every single time, so what use do they have? Furthermore, aren't spirit beasts supposed to block all the dangers for you?"
Yun Luofeng's expression darkened and she sternly said, "Little Tree, I admit that I'm self-assertive and didn't consider your feelings. However, all of you are extremely important to me and if your deaths are needed in exchange for my life, I'd rather die!"
"That's right, I'm selfish to the extent that I don't wish for anyone of you to disappear. Furthermore, spirit beasts aren't tools for battling but my family that'll accompany me throughout my life!"
Seeing Little Tree's downcast appearance, Yun Luofeng stroked his head. "Previously I severed the connection because I wasn't aware of your ability. Therefore, I'll promise all of you that I will not casually server our connection in the future, but I don't require you to die for me."
The warmth from her palm caused Little Tree's mood to change and he pounced into her embrace, with an adorable innocent look surfacing on his face like carved jade.
Without witnessing his previous actions, perhaps everyone would treat him as a human child.
"Mother, it was you who gave me life. In my life, I will never leave you."
Yun Luofeng smiled. Suddenly, she recalled something and her expression froze. "Little Tree, you've been following me for nearly four years but I've never known about your identity. Can you tell me what you are exactly?
Little Tree had an expression of being wronged. "I'm not sure. I'm still young and I've only inherited a small portion of the memories. After a few years later, perhaps I will recall everything of the past."
.
.
.
Chapter 1486:- Bountiful Harvest (11)
Inheritance memory?
Yun Luofeng quirked her brow. She had only heard of spirit beasts having inheritance memory, and wasn't aware that tree spirits could also have them.
...
The green-robed lady lowered her head, not daring to look at Yun Luofeng and Little Tree. However, the shock in her eyes couldn't be concealed. Did human's views change after all these years?
In the previous world, weren't humans fond of enslaving spirit beasts, making them sacrifice for themselves? However, why had these spirit beasts become a human's comrades now?
It seems like it had been too long since she last came out to the world...
Little Tree left Yun Luofeng's embrace, pointed towards the green-robed lady and asked, "Mother, how do you intend to deal with this tree spirit?"
The little body's immature voice caused her body to tremble and she lowered her head even further. If she knew that this lord was with Yun Luofeng, she never would have made things difficult for her.
"This life tree is has existed for long and I think... there will be quite a number of life fruits."
Yun Luofeng stroked her chin. After obtaining the life fruit, she could have her family members live for another hundred years without a problem.
Oh, that's right. There's still Tian Ya.
Tian Ya's wife was a spirit beast and had a long life but Tian Ya was merely a Sage-level cultivator. His lifespan was only a hundred and twenty years. Without the life fruit, they might have to separate after a few more decades.
"I... I only have two life fruits with me." The green-robed lady carefully took out two fruits, passing them to Yun Luofeng.
"Two?" Yun Luofeng frowned. "If my memory serves me right, the life tree would produce one fruit every ten years."
Hearing her words, the green-robed lady bitterly laughed. "The life tree producing one fruit every ten years was true years in the past. During that period, spirit energy was abundant on the continent and naturally, I would produce lots of life fruits. Subsequently, it became one fruit every twenty years..."
"However, every time I produced a fruit, it was taken away by the Saintly Virgin Tribe. This is the reason why the lifespan of the Tribe's experts is longer than other factions."
"Unfortunately, a traitor appeared in the tribe that year and she stole the life tree. However, she was unaware that I remained in the tribe because the spirit energy there could still support my existence. After leaving, I started to wilt.
Yun Luofeng was silent for a moment before asking. "Since you've wilted, why can you still continue producing life fruit?"
"Wilting is a process and I didn't immediately wilt. Forty years have passed and it was by coincidence that I produced another life fruit not long ago. Right now, I've completely wilted.
Yun Luofeng quirked her brow. She finally understood the god miracle Yan Ke and the rest mentioned. This miracle was evidently caused by the life fruit's emergence and as a result, attracted a crowd of people, assuming that treasures had been unearthed.
Yun Luofeng walked up and took the life fruit, storing it in her space ring without the slightest trace of politeness. She lifted her brow and asked, "Your name?"
The green-robed lady lowered her head and answered, "Bi Xiao."
"I require numerous life fruits. From today on, you shall follow me. What do you think?" The young lady's voice was overbearing and arrogant, yet causing Bi Xiao to be in a daze.
"I've already wilted and if you wish to sustain my production of life fruit, I require large amounts of spirit energy. Otherwise, I won't be able to produce any."
.
.
.
Chapter 1487:- Bountiful Harvest (12)
Bi Xiao wryly smiled. "Furthermore, so what if you can allow me to revive? I can only produce one fruit every twenty years and even at my peak, ten years were still needed. If you wish for mass production, I'm sorry but I can't achieve that."
It wasn't that Bi Xiao didn't wish to produce life fruit, but she was incapable!
"Xiao Mo, what do you think? Yun Luofeng turned towards Xiao Mo and asked.
Xiao Mo replied after a while. "Give her the contract, and there'll be no need to worry about her betrayal."
"Alright."
Yun Luofeng was indeed afraid that Bi Xiao would betray her, so they agreed to a contract. After establishing the contract, Bi Xiao suddenly felt her body jolting, with an endless amount of spirit energy converging into her.
"This... what's going on?" Bi Xiao turned pale from fright and hastily extended her spirit power to scan the scenery outside of the tree.
As Bi Xiao was unable to leave the tree, she could only utilize this method to survey her surroundings.
When the outside scenery registered in her eyes, she was instantly stunned...
She was originally at the summit of a mountain, and now what she saw was wilderness and densely packed medicinal fields. The medicinal herbs planted in the fields were different from what she had seen, with an abundance of spirit energy within the herbs
What made her happy was that the density of spirit energy in this wilderness was very thick. She had lived for countless years and had never seen the continent filled with so much spirit energy.
"That's great, this placed seems to be tailor-made for me!" Bi Xiao stood up, revealing excitement on her lucid and elegant face.
"As long as I live here, two years... wait, at most one year, I'll be able to produce another life fruit."
Xiao Mo glanced at Bi Xiao and snorted. "If it weren't for your ability to produce life fruit, I would already have had Little Tree extinguish you, with your previous behavior towards my master!"
Bi Xiao's flushed red. Thinking back to her previous actions, she was filled with guilt and remorse. She had always looked down on humans and if it weren't for Lin Ruobai, she wouldn't have allowed Yun Luofeng to enter the tree.
However, who would have thought that this woman could actually obtain that lord's loyalty and devotion? In particular, she had carried around this powerful space along with her.
Seeing Bi Xiao's ashamed appearance, Xiao Mo's internal rage gradually disappeared, but he did not forget to flaunt. "This space is closely related to my Master's strength. The more powerful my Master is, the denser the spirit energy will be. In the future, producing one fruit every month would be normal."
"Is that true?" The green-robed lady was very excited. She hesitated for a moment before fishing out an item from her sleeves. "This was something I stole from the Saintly Virgin Tribe a thousand years ago. At that time, the Tribe was very powerful, unlike its current state that can't even protect me. Therefore, I secretly stole this from a tribesman. I can give it to you if you need it."
In her hands was a bottle of green liquid, faintly radiating a gem-like radiance, appearing dazzling.
"This is..." Yun Luofeng stared blankly. She was actually momentarily unable to recognize the item Bi Xiao gave her.
After scanning through his mind, Little Tree said with a cute voice, "It's dragon blood."
.
.
.
Chapter 1488:- Bountiful Harvest (13)
"Dragon blood? What are its uses?"
"Normal dragon blood only has the effect of strengthening one's physique. However, this is not ordinary dragon blood. It belongs to a spirit dragon from the legends."
Spirit dragon?
Seeing their confused expression, Little Tree continued explaining. "A spirit dragon doesn't hatch from a dragon egg but is naturally formed from spirit energy. Consuming its meat can allow an ordinary man to advance to sky-level cultivation in an instant. Its blood is even more precious, allowing Sage God-level cultivators to break through. In addition, there will be effects of strengthening one's physique."
"Little Tree, how do you know about this?" Yun Luofeng glanced at Little Tree and asked.
Little Tree revealed a brilliant smile, "My inheritance memory told me. However, the density of dragon blood in this bottle is too thick. If directly consumed, you'll immediately explode and die. Therefore, you have to dilute it before absorbing."
Xiao Mo's eyes instantly brightened. Earlier he had only slightly poked Bi Xiao and this woman and she took out a treasure. Having been alive for countless years, how could she not have any treasures with her? Perhaps if he poked her more, she would take out even more?
Even though the jade snake grass could allow a sage-god level cultivator to breakthrough, it had yet to evolve into spirit snake grass!
Furthermore, jade snake grass only had effects of causing a breakthrough without strengthening one's physique and was different from the spirit dragon's blood. Not only could it help in breaking through, it could also strengthen one's physique by several notches to become as tough as iron.
"Bi Xiao," Xiao Mo looked at Bixiao with a big smile, while his eyes flickered with an evil glint. "There's no lack of benefits for you if my master were to break through. If you have any more treasures on you, take them out and give them to Master."
Bi Xiao cautiously looked at Xiao Mo. Why did she feel that this young man's smile... was very crafty?
"There's nothing else," Bi Xiao shook her head. "I've only stolen this one item and there's really nothing else."
Xiao Mo was somewhat dejected.
Seems like Bi Xiao was indeed very poor. All these years, she had only stolen one item from the Saintly Virgin Tribe. It's a pity...
"I'll absorb this spirit dragon blood right now. All of you, take a step back." Yun Luofeng flipped her hand, taking out a bottle and poured the dragon blood inside before using spring water to dilute.
After two liquids had mixed together, the green-colored dragon blood became faint, no longer a pure bright green.
After that, Yun Luofeng poured the blood into her mouth, using a trace of spirit energy to wrap and deliver it to her dantian.
Soon after that, she sat cross-legged and began to absorb the energy within the dragon blood.
As the dragon blood was too overbearing, she didn't dare to immediately absorb the energy contained in the blood. Therefore, she had to absorb it drop by drop, allowing her body to withstand this tyrannical energy.
She sat there for half a month, slowly absorbing the energy until a powerful storm caused by her advancement spread out in the room, and with a bang, she entered a whole new level. However, it wasn't over...
After breaking through, Yun Luofeng felt a powerful energy swimming in her meridians, causing her to twitch all over.
"Mother, this is the spirit dragon blood helping you to remodel your physique." Little Tree's stared at Yun Luofeng. "Therefore, you have to hang on!"
.
.

Chapter 1489:- Xuanqing Sect's Doomsday (1)
"Siii!" Even though Yun Luofeng had high endurance ability, she couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air under the extreme pain. Her teeth tightly clenched together, with determination in her eyes. No matter how painful was the remodeling of her bones, she had to endure the pain! As long as she could become stronger, she would never return even if she was one foot into hell.
Crack crack crack!
At this moment, everyone clearly heard the sounds of bone cracking from her body. However, other than the cold air she sucked in initially, she did not utter a single sound and endured this severe pain.
A trace of shock streaked across Bi Xiao's green eyes, perhaps not expecting that this human could actually endure this severe pain. Even those experts from the Saintly Virgin tribe couldn't compare to her. It was only at this moment that Bi Xiao changed her view of Yun Luofeng.
Seconds and minutes elapsed and Xiao Mo anxiously looked at Yun Luofeng, wanting to help her but having no means of doing so. He knew that this hurdle had to be personally overcome by his master. If he forcefully utilized the spirit energy in God Code World to ease her pain, it would produce the opposite desired result.
That year, when Yun Xiao extracted blood from his heart, he had the God Code World's spirit energy to ease the pain. At this moment, the pain Yun Luofeng was experiencing was not the slightest bit less than extracting blood from one's heart...
Remodeling of the bones and skin was equivalent to crushing all her bones and binding them back together again. Can you imagine what kind of pain she was enduring? Even some renowned experts would lose consciousness and pass away under such extreme pain. Yun Luofeng only clenched her teeth and endured the pain. The young lady's back was drenched in sweat, while her gorgeous face was deathly pale. Her body faintly trembled but she didn't produce a single sound.
"Master, if it's painful, it'll be better if you scream out." Xiao Mo particularly felt heartache when seeing Yun Luofeng forcefully enduring the pain. This woman had always been so unyielding. It was the same in the past in Hua Xia and now, she was still so firm and indomitable.
Yun Luofeng lowered her eyes, if she couldn't endure this pain, then how could she even talk about stepping on the summit of the continent? How could she fight alongside with Yun Xiao?
Bi Xiao could no longer continue looking and spoke after hesitating, "You've broken through with the help of spirit dragon blood and even if you give up now, you won't lose anything. I have a method that can instantly alleviate your pain. That year, the tribesmen were also unable to endure this pain and utilized this method immediately after breaking through. However, the consequence is that the remodeling of physique would fail."
"I'm fine." She clenched her teeth, using all her energy to speak these words. After that, she no longer had spare energy to speak.
She wanted to become strong!
The only way of getting stronger was having fortuitous encounters!
With such an opportunity presented, she would never give up!
Looking at her determined appearance, Bi Xiao had a puzzled look in her eyes. She did not understand, why was Yun Luofeng unwilling to give up? Wasn't it enough to break through with the help of spirit dragon blood?
Seemingly noticing her puzzled look, Xiao Mo shot her a glance. "If Master wanted to break through, she didn't have to use spirit dragon blood. After waiting for the spirit snake grass to evolve, she could also advance to Sage God-level. Therefore, the most important benefit provided by the spirit dragon blood is remodeling her physique, allowing her body to become stronger."
.
.

Chapter 1490:- Xuanqing Sect's Doomsday (2)
The reason for the Dragon Clan being famous throughout the continent was because, other than being valiant and powerful, the solidness of their skin was outrageous.
During lower cultivation levels, Yun Luofeng could still fight cross-level battles. However, as her strength increased, it wasn't as easy battling against people stronger than her. Therefore, she would never give up this opportunity presented before her!
"But..." a bewildered look emerged from Bi Xiao's eyes, "those experts from the Saintly Virgin Tribe also thought of enduring the remodeling but all of them gave up halfway and none of them could endure till the end. Will she succeed?"
"I can't speak for others, but she'll definitely succeed!" Xiao Mo had followed Yun Luofeng the longest and had also witnessed her growth.
That year in Huaxia University, Yun Luofeng was regarded as a madwoman! There was nothing she was afraid to do and she was still the same even after arriving on a different continent. Working hard wasn't because she did not fear death. In contrary, she was afraid of dying, but compared to that, she was even more afraid that she couldn't protect her loved ones.
In her previous incarnation, Yun Luofeng was an orphan. After in this world, she learned about the warmth of family, so how would she be willing to let that go? In order to protect this warmth, she had done her utmost to increase her strength!
Bi Xiao seemed to be astounded. Her puzzled green eyes stared intently at Yun Luofeng while muttering irresolutely, "Compared to those humans I knew in the past, she's different..."
From the start, Bi Xiao had acknowledged allegiance to Yun Luofeng due to Little Tree. After all, for a tree spirit as proud and arrogant as her, how could she willingly vow her loyalty to a human? It wasn't until witnessing Yun Luofeng's willpower that she gained a whole new level of respect. Her heart gradually acknowledged Yun Luofeng, although she was still unaware of this change...
"Bi Xiao, how long does the remodeling of physique take?" Xiao Mo was silent for a while and asked.
"I'm not sure. I only know those elders of Saintly Virgin Tribe had endured for three to five days and couldn't continue on. I've never seen any successful cases and so, I don't know how many days it'll take..."
Bi Xiao shook her head, while her green eyes were fixed on Yun Luofeng all along. After hearing her words, Xiao Mo no longer spoke, merely finding a spot to sit and quietly wait for Yun Luofeng.
Ten days flashed past in the blink of an eye. Within these ten days, Yun Luofeng's complexion became increasingly pale, while her breathing became weaker. Even so, she still relied on her last breath and continued enduring...
Bi Xiao tightly clenched her fist and looked nervously at Yun Luofeng. She wanted to know whether this young lady would be able to succeed at something that numerous experts of Saintly Virgin Tribe couldn't accomplish.
Bang!
Suddenly, Yun Luofeng fell and her body heavily crashed on the tree stump beside her.
Xiao Mo turned pale from shock and quickly got up, arriving at Yun Luofeng's side in a flash. He worriedly questioned, "Master, how are you?"
Yun Luofeng smiled. Her complexion was pale and colorless but it could not affect her peerless smile.
Bi Xiao had lived for countless years and only now did she witness a smile that made all living things pale in comparison. It was hard to imagine that a human could be beautiful to such an extent. Referring to her as a devil that would damage countries and cause suffering to people wouldn't be an exaggeration.
"Xiao Mo, look-"
The young lady opened her hand and her fist was covered with a layer of solid dragon scales. It had spread continuously from her hand until her entire body was encased in an armor formed from dragon scales.
.

Chapter 1491:- Xuanqing Sect's Doomsday (3)
"I've succeeded." That's right, she had succeeded. Not only did her body's defensive level increase a notch, there also was... even an additional dragon-scale armor! With this armor, she could even receive a Sage Lord cultivator's attack without being injured in the slightest.
Similar to being struck by lightning, Xiao Mo was speechless. He never imagined that spirit dragon blood could have this effect and it seemed like Yun Luofeng had indeed picked up a treasure this time.
"Master, congratulations." There was unconcealable excitement on Xiao Mo's expression as he excitedly spoke.
Yun Luofeng smiled. "Unfortunately the dragon-scale armor can only be summoned for a short period of time, at the very most for three minutes. In addition, it would require a huge portion of spiritual energy within the God Code World."
As expected, after hearing Yun Luofeng's words, Xiao Mo sensed that the spiritual energy in the God Code World was nearly used up. Luckily, the huge chrysanthemum tree that Little Tree had planted was rapidly recovering the space's spiritual energy. However, no matter how powerful Little Tree's chrysanthemum tree was, it couldn't replenish the spiritual energy in a short period of time.
"Xiao Mo, how long have I been here?" Yun Luofeng looked up and glanced at the young man beside her.
"You spent one month to break through and the remodeling of your physique took another ten days. Therefore, a month and ten days have passed."
"A month and ten days?" Yun Luofeng quirked her brow and stood up. "Let's go, it's time for us to leave and find those people to settle our debts."
If it weren't for Bi Xiao, perhaps Su Jun and everyone would have been completely wiped-out.
As for Yun Yi, although he was powerful, he did not possess wisdom. If she wasn't present, it was impossible to count on him to eradicate all the enemies.
...
On the mountain's summit, Yun Yi's gaze was empty and he stood lifelessly just like a huge giant, radiating invisible oppression.
Yan Ke and company had yet to leave and had set up an encampment on the mountain's summit, waiting for Yun Luofeng's return.
Whoosh!
Suddenly brilliant rays shone and after Yan Ke and the group recovered their senses, they discovered the white-robed lady holding onto a child's hand and standing before them.
Yun Luofeng was startled and questioned with a slight frown, "Why are you still here?"
Yan Ke had a shameful expression. "At that time, we caused you to offend the Xuanqing Sect, so we were waiting for you here."
"Waiting for me?" Yun Luofeng's frown loosened. "I have something to attend to right now, so you can leave."
Yan Ke and Fu Jin along with the rest glanced at each other. Seeing Yun Luofeng about to leave, they hastily followed.
"Why?" Yun Luofeng stopped and said without turning around, "You're unwilling to leave?"
"I..." Yan Ke blushed and in embarrassment raised a request. "We want to follow you."
Yun Luofeng was silent for a moment. "Do you have access to a spatial wormhole?"
A spatial wormhole was a bridge between the Seven Province continent and the Land of No Return and only this could connect both continents.
"Yes."
Yan Ke did not understand Yun Luofeng's meaning and hurriedly nodded. "I know a location that has spatial wormhole and I have some connections with the Family protecting it. Miss Yun, why are you asking?"
"There's a faction called the Physician Tower in the Land of No Return that I established. If you wish to follow me, join the Physician Tower."
After speaking, Yun Luofeng's figure disappeared before them in a flash. Yun Yi had also hastily followed her and hurriedly left the mountain's summit.
.
.

Chapter 1492:- Xuanqing Sect's Doomsday (4)
"Yan Ke, what choice do you think we should make?" Fu Jin hesitated. "The resources in the Land of No Return can't be compared to the Seven Province Continent, but it surpasses it in peacefulness."
Yan Ke sighed helplessly. "For all these years, how much has our group experienced and suffered? In order to survive, we had to do our utmost in cultivation and I've had enough of this life!"
"Since Miss Yun has offered, so what if we head to the Land of No Return? I do not wish to continue staying in the Seven Province Continent and I believe we wouldn't regret joining the Physician Tower."
Yan Ke had confidence. Although this Physician Tower was in the Land of No Return, this was Yun Luofeng's faction and someday it would be renowned throughout the Seven Province Continent! Naturally, their status would also change with the overall trend.
"Alright, then we'll set off right now towards the Land of No Return!"
...
In the skies not far away, the young lady paused and waited for the puppet following behind her. After the puppet caught up with her, she once again headed towards the Xuanqing Sect.
Little Tree blinked and asked with a cute voice, "Mother, you intend to have Yan Ke and company protect the Physician Tower in your stead?"
Yun Luofeng faintly smiled. "Their strength isn't considered powerful on the Seven Province Continent but they'll be peak existences in the Land of No Return. With them protecting the Physician Tower and Ye Family, I can expand my faction here at ease." Therefore, she had agreed for Yan Ke and company to follow her.
"Mother, will they go to the Land of No Return?"
"They will!" Yun Luofeng merely spoke a word yet her face was brimming with confidence and her pair of pitch-black eyes were similar to black gemstones.
...
Xuanqing Sect.
Inside the hall, the middle-aged man's family was extremely gloomy and seemed frightened. His palms landed on the table with a slam and he coldly said, "If I hadn't come out from closed cultivation in advance, how long did you intend to hide it from me? My biological son was killed by others yet no one informed me?"
Everyone was silent without speaking. Facing the furious middle-aged man, they did not dare to utter a single word.
"Father..." Su Jun slowly went up after hesitating for awhile. Just as he called out, he was interrupted by the middle-aged man's stern and grave voice.
"Luochen was your brother and you looked on unfeelingly at your brother's death and you dared to keep me in the dark? Is this how I taught you to cherish your brotherly relationship?" The middle-aged man trembled while his face was ashen.
Su Jun's eyes flickered and the instant he looked up, his eye rims had reddened. With a plop, he knelt before the middle-aged man.
"Father, your son is to be blamed for this. It was for the sake of the Xuanqing Sect and me that little brother was killed by an evildoer."
The middle-aged man suppressed his internal suffocation and asked while clenching his teeth. "Tell me what exactly happened a month ago. How did Luochen lose his life on Wormwood mountain?"
"Father, little brother and I brought Xiao Bai towards the mountain, but who would have thought that we would actually encounter Xiao Bai's master?
Xiao Bai's master? The middle-aged man frowned. "How is Miss Lin's master related to Luochen's death?"
"Father, Xiao Bai's master isn't a kind soul. She knew about Xiao Bai's identity and had accepted her as a disciple..." Su Jun's eyes flickered and he continued, "Furthermore, relying on Xiao Bai being her disciple, she forced Xiao Bai to marry someone she chose."
.
.
.
Chapter 1493:- Xuanqing Sect's Doomsday (5)
After hearing Su Jun's explanation, he became even more aggravated. If it was Su Luochen who told him, perhaps he might be skeptical. However, Su Jun had never lied, and what he said would definitely have happened that day.
He clenched his teeth and asked, "Where is Miss Lin?"
Su Jun's complexion darkened, and his eyes were filled with sadness and suffering. Looking at his expression, a trace of unease gradually surfaced in his heart.
"Father, Xiao Bai has been controlled by that woman and she used an unknown method to make Xiao Bai become unconscious. Little brother had been killed by that woman in order to save Xiao Bai."
Su Jun's expression was filled with sorrow. "She also said that since she is Xiao Bai's master, her marriage would naturally be decided by her. Even if the person Xiao Bai likes is me, she would never allow Xiao Bai to make the decision."
"Presumptuous!" The middle-aged man's fist fiercely smashed the table while his forehead veins bulged. "Miss Lin's identity is very honorable and how could her Master make the decision for her? She's a self-opinionated fool!"
Compared to the death of his son, he was even more furious that someone else dared to decide on Lin Ruobai's marriage. Lin Ruobai was someone their Sect had to obtain at all costs!
"Jun'er, you're well aware that the Saintly Virgin Tribe has never had dealings with men from outside and all their women are single for their whole life. However, she's the successor that the tribe has been searching for. If you could make her fall for you, the tribe would be unable to make decisions for her..."
The middle-aged man sighed. "Thus, I had wanted both of you to foster your relationship and when the conditions were right, success would naturally follow. Then we would inform the tribe about this. Nonetheless, who would've expected that an idiot came to intercept when your relationship started to develop?! As such, I can only inform the Saintly Virgin Tribe of this."
In the Xuanqing Sect's sect master's view, Lin Ruobai was his daughter-in-law, so how could he allow others to snatch her? In particular, that woman had selfishly decided Lin Ruobai's marriage. Shouldn't she reflect on her status? Was the successor of the tribe someone she could make decisions for?
"Father, don't worry. Half a month ago, I informed the Saintly Virgin Tribe and I believed they've received the news." A sinister glint streaked across Su Jun's eyes. "Furthermore, I informed them that in order to let her little brother be married to Lin Ruobai, Yun Luofeng caused Xiao Bai to be unconscious and in imminent peril."
To be honest, Su Jun did not know of Xiao Mo's and Yun Luofeng relationship. However, he did not mind casually fabricating an identity. It was sufficient as long as the Saintly Virgin Tribe believed in him.
"Good!" The middle-aged man smirked. "We will leave this to the Saintly Virgin Tribe to handle! I don't believe that they dare to oppose the tribe!"
Thinking of this, he looked at Su Jun and asked. "If the Saintly Virgin Tribe successfully rescues Miss Lin, do you have the confidence to let her raise the topic of marriage?"
"This..." Su Jun hesitated. If it was in the past, he would definitely be brimming with confidence, thinking that Lin Ruobai would choose him without a doubt. However, recalling the cold attitude Lin Ruobai gave him on Wormwood mountain, it caused his heart to thump.
"Why? You've been together for a year and you're still unable to obtain her heart? I remember you mentioned before that Lin Ruobai had fallen for you." The middle-aged man's expression was gloomy as he coldly asked.
Su Jun clenched his teeth, raising his head with determination. "I have confidence in Xiao Bai, and she'll definitely be my wife!"
.
.

Chapter 1494:- Xuanqing Sect's Doomsday (6)
"Haha." The middle-aged man's dark expression instantly became bright after hearing his son's confident voice.
"Since you're confident, then I'm at ease." While speaking, his expression once again darkened. "As for your little brother's debt... I will certainly repay it!" He said the last few words with his teeth clenched and his fury towards Yun Luofeng could be seen.
"Sect Master, something terrible has happened!"
Just then, a Xuanqing Sect disciple rushed in staggering and fell on the ground. Before he could stand up, he hastily said, "Someone murdered their way into the Sect and has killed numerous disciples!"
"What?!" The middle-aged man was furiously agitated. Slamming his hands against the wall, a hole instantly appeared.
His expression was malevolent, with fury in his eyes. "Who is so courageous to cause trouble in my Xuanqing Sect? Men, immediately follow me to kill that intruder!"
After saying this, the middle-aged man's figure turned into a hurricane and rushed out the door.
At this moment, blood had formed a river in the Xuanqing Sect, with countless disciples fallen into the pool of blood, dead but with their eyes open.
Even so, there were still many disciples who dashed forwards, intending to kill this intruder. Encircled among them was a robust man. His muscles were well-defined and he was expressionless, just like a machine who only knew to kill without the slightest feelings.
However, Su Jun saw the white-robed lady standing beside the robust man at a glance. Her appearance was outstanding, with robes purer than snow and her black hair flying with the wind. No one could imagine anyone more beautiful than her! In her hands was a little child with an appearance like carved jade. Even though this child was still young, a trace of wickedness could be seen in his eyes.
"Father, that is the woman who snatched Xiao Bai and killed Luochen," Su Jun gnashed his teeth in anger and said.
After he spoke, Yun Luofeng who was spectating the battle suddenly turned his way, and her wicked and unrestrained eyes coldly fell on him.
"Imprudent!" The middle-aged man furiously shouted and his aura was completely unleashed. In an instant, he attacked towards Yun Luofeng with killing intent revealed in his eyes. "You killed my son and I'll make you pay with your life!"
Witnessing his father rushing over, Su Jun revealed a smug smile.
No matter how powerful Yun Luofeng's bodyguard was, his own father was at the realm of a sage-lord level, yet these people actually dared to kill into Xuanqing Sect unaccompanied. It was evident without a doubt that they would die.
"Yun Yi, step aside!" The young lady's orders sounded beside Yun Yi's ears.
Obeying her orders, he retreated to Yun Luofeng's rear, exposing her slender body to the middle-aged man's attack.
"Die!" the middle-aged man shouted and his mighty fist approached her, similar to a meteor, filled with endless power.
In everyone's eyes, this slender woman could never withstand the might of their Sect Master's punch and she was destined to perish under his strike!
Boom!
A hurricane surged around her and her cheek was gradually covered by dragon-scales that were incomparably tough. It was similar to an armor crafted with dragon scales, looking impressive and domineering!
.
.
.
Chapter 1495:- Xuanqing Sect's Doomsday (7)
The middle-aged man was obviously shocked but he was unable to stop his attack. The fist that was enshrouded with destructive power rammed against Yun Luofeng's chest with a loud bang.
Boom!!
In that instant, his body seemed to have received a heavy blow and he flew out. He spit out a mouthful of blood and his complexion was overwhelmed with shock.
"Impossible, it's impossible! You're only at Sage God-level cultivation, how could you withstand my attack?"
A young lady having Sage God-level cultivation was considered a miracle on the Seven Province continent. Even so... how could a Sage God-level cultivator possibly withstand an attack of a Sage Lord=level cultivator?
Unless... the middle-aged man's eyes fell on Yun Luofeng's dragon-scale armor and traces of greed surfaced.
That's right, it must be this armor! If I can obtain this armor, my strength will definitely increase a notch!
"Is a Sage Lord's strength merely so?" A smile surfaced on her lips but the middle-aged man sensed contempt and taunting from her smile.
Flames of fury instantly surged forth. "You killed my son and I'll definitely make you pay with your life! Of crouse, if you are willing to hand over your dragon-scale armor as an apology gift, perhaps I can spare your life!"
Yun Luofeng laughed. "In your dreams."
"Hahaha!"
The middle-aged man raised his head and laughed crazily. "Rotten girl, you must be unaware of what kind of enemies you've provoked, daring to speak in such a tone! Since you're aware of Miss Lin's identity, then I can tell you that the Saintly Virgin Tribe will never spare you for your actions towards Miss Lin!"
Her actions toward Lin Ruobai?
Yun Luofeng quirked her brow and unconsciously glanced at Su Jun. Needless to say, she understood that Su Jun had pushed the blame of losing Lin Ruobai and Su Luochen's death to her.
Su Jun naturally saw Yun Luofeng's gaze, but he looked back at her without fear, not feeling ashamed in the slightest for his actions.
"Girl, you forced Miss Lin to marry someone that she doesn't love, relying on your status as her master. Haven't you considered the consequences of your actions? Will the Saintly Virgin Tribe allow you to treat her so?" The middle-aged man sneered, with mocking on his face. "Furthermore, Miss Lin and my son are mutually in love and by separating them, you'll definitely be in trouble!"
Without Yun Luofeng's orders, Xiao Mo would never appear. However, after hearing how they slandered Yun Luofeng and claimed that Lin Ruobai and Su Jun was mutually in love, he couldn't restrain himself and ran out from the God Code World.
Su Jun and his father were shocked by Xiao Mo's sudden appearance, seemingly not knowing where he had come from.
At this moment, Xiao Mo revealed a savage glint while fiercely glaring at Su Jun father and son.
"Xiao Bai has already agreed to marry me. When was she mutually in love with this bastard?"
Su Jun recovered his senses and whispered in the middle-aged man's ears, "He's the man who snatched Xiao Bai from me and her Master is forcing Xiao Bai to marry him."
Having heard what was said, the middle-aged man knew what's going on and looked towards Xiao Mo with a sneer. "Since you claim that Miss Lin is willing, then will you let her come out and have her speak personally?"
Xiao Mo trembled from rage while the savage look in his eyes grew stronger.
.
.

Chapter 1496:- Xuanqing Sect's Doomsday (8)
"Xiao Mo," Yun Luofeng muttered, "One minute left."
He knew what she meant. The armor's uptime was only three minutes and two minutes had elapsed, so she was left with one minute. Therefore, no matter how furious he was, Xiao Mo could only retreat.
Whoosh!
Just as Su Jun and his father were deciphering Yun Luofeng's words, she had already dashed towards the middle-aged man while her fist enveloped by dragon scales struck his chest.
Puchi!
In that instant, the middle-aged man was sent flying and spat out blood once again. His head fell at a crooked angle and his breathing ceased.
Su Jun was stunned. Everyone in the Xuanqing Sect was also shocked into silence and what came shortly after that was fear. Noticing the cavity in the middle-aged man's chest and the blood flowing incessantly from his mouth, Su Jun's eyes stared in front like a dead fish and he looked extremely miserable.
"Father!" Su Jun shouted himself hoarse and rapidly came to the middle-aged man's side. Carrying his body, he howled mournfully, "Father, wake up! The Xuanqing Sect can't do without you, don't scare your son!"
Unfortunately, the middle-aged man had passed away.
Yun Luofeng was also shocked as she looked at her own fist, and then at the middle-aged man who died miserably. She didn't expect that she could kill a Sage Lord-level expert with one blow!
"Master." Perhaps sensing Yun Luofeng's internal confusion, Xiao Mo patiently explained, "He wasn't a real Sage Lord-level cultivator."
"Not a Sage Lord-level cultivator?" Yun Luofeng was somewhat astonished.
"That's right," Xiao Mo nodded. "There are many treasures that can increase one's strength. For example, the spirit snake grass and spirit dragon blood, so on and so forth, which can allow a cultivator to break through. However, these items can only be discovered and not sought for..." Xiao Mo paused for a moment and continued, "Therefore, many seek for something inferior and use some defective items to break through."
"One example would be the Xuanqing Sect's sect master. If my guess is correct, he probably consumed something called vermillion fruit that would allow his level to advance to Sage Lord-level. His life span and power would not differ from a Sage Lord-level cultivator but his physique was still similar to a Sage God-level advanced rank cultivator. That was the reason why you could kill him with a single blow. If you were to encounter a true sage-lord cultivator, it would be hard to win easily even with the dragon-scale armor."
Listening to Xiao Mo's explanation, Yun Luofeng suddenly saw the light. The difference between Sage God and Sage Lord-level was too immense. Even with the dragon-scale armor, she couldn't instantly kill her opponent...
"You killed my little brother and my father." Su Jun turned and his hate-filled eyes glared at Yun Luofeng. "One day, you will die in my hands!"
Little Tree blinked his eyes while his adorable petite face turned towards Yun Luofeng. "Can I kill him?"
He spoke at ease, no different from casually greeting someone on a normal day. It was just like, "Can I have my meal?"
"It's sufficient to let Yun Yi handle this." Yun Luofeng held on to Little Tree's hands. As long as the Xuanqing Sect's sect master no longer existed, no one else was of any threat.
Suddenly, Su Jun seemed to sense something as his body suddenly stiffened and he somewhat excitedly raised his head to look at a void in the azure skies.
From the void, countless white petals descended from the skies and a white-robed servant girl followed in the rear, while the person standing before her was another woman in white.
.
.
.
Chapter 1497:- Xuanqing Sect's Doomsday (9)
Different from the servant maid behind her, she was divinely gorgeous, an immortal that placed herself above the common populace while loftily standing in the air.
"Lord Qin Yue!" Su Jun emotionally shouted, nearly dancing and gesticulating for joy. He evilly glared towards Yun Luofeng and a complacent smile surfaced. "The Saintly Virgin Tribe has arrived. Now, I'd like to see how you continue being rampant!"
Qin Yue expressionlessly descended from the skies. Her white robes were very long, to the extent of trailing on the ground. Her fine black hair was as if a waterfall, ending at her waist level.
"Seems like I've come at the wrong time." Numerous corpses and blood filled her vision, and her sharp brows faintly lifted. Impatience could be seen through her arrogant eyes. "Su Jun, I came with orders from the tribe master to obtain an explanation from you and find out exactly who abducted my tribe's successor."
Su Jun's expression was filled with emotion. He fiercely glared towards Yun Luofeng. "It's this woman, she abducted Xiao Bai and used her status as her master to force Xiao Bai to marry someone that she doesn't love. Lord Qin Yue, you have to save Xiao Bai."
Hearing Su Jun addressing Lin Ruobai intimately, her brow furrowed even tighter while a trace of impatience streaked across her eyes. "You say she abducted my tribe's successor?" Her beautiful eyes glanced at Yun Luofeng, slightly lifted her chin, and displayed the arrogance that the tribeswomen possessed.
"Su Jun, recount the specific details so that I can make a decision."
"This was what happened." Su Jun took in a deep breath and complied. "That day, I encountered Xiao Bai in danger and rescued her. At that time, I was puzzled as to why she would appear in such a dangerous place alone. After that, she told me that her master abandoned her in the forest, with the intention to feed her to wild wolves and leopards!"
Su Jun wickedly said, "To think there was such a ruthless master in this world! Seeing Xiao Bai without any accommodation, I took her in. However, good things don't last forever and this wretched master actually came looking for her. I don't know how she knew about Xiao Bai's relationship with the Saintly Virgin Tribe, but she unhesitatingly forced Xiao Bai to marry someone she didn't love!"
"Lord Qin Yue, within this year, Xiao Bai and I have mutually fallen in love and she mentioned she would rather die than marry a man other than me. In addition, I suspect that Xiao Bai has met with an accident." Su Jun wiped his tears. "If something really happened to her, I'll never let the person who injured her off, even if I were to die!"
His explanation was so full of affection and sentiment that even Su Jun himself was touched. He believed that there was no reason Qin Yue wouldn't be touched. Therefore, peeking at Qin Yue from the corner of his eyes, he discovered that she was as cold as before.
"Lord Qin Yue..." he apprehensively called.
Qin Yue did not speak, but her lofty beautiful eyes were fixed on the young lady who had her hands crossed that was standing before her. Her voice was ice-cold, without a trace of warmth. "Where is my tribe's successor? Is what Su Jun says the truth?"
For the Saintly Virgin Tribe to exist until today, they would never hear a one-sided statement. Therefore, the top priority was to locate Lin Ruobai and obtain the truth from her.
If it was as Su Jun had claimed, and this woman truly treated their successor as such, she would never let her off!
"She's unable to come out." Yun Luofeng was silent for a moment and slowly spoke.
.
.
.
Chapter 1498:- Xuanqing Sect's Doomsday (10)
Su Jun revealed a smug smile, but being afraid that the Saintly Virgin Tribe would notice his gloating, he hastily exercised restraint and anxiously said, "What do you mean unable to come out? I know, you must've done something bad to Xiao Bai!"
Yun Luofeng chilly eyes shot at Su Jun, causing him to tremble from an internal chill.
Qin Yue frowned, looking at Yun Luofeng with a cool eye. "I hope you'll let my tribe's successor appear at once. Otherwise, I will believe in Su Jun's words, thinking that you've harmed my tribe's successor."
Actually, it was as simple as letting Xiao Bai appear. However, Xiao Bai was still unconscious and instead of having her appear in that state, it was better off for her not to come out.
"I've said that she's unable to come out for the time being. If you have patience, you can wait a little longer. If not, I can't help it."
Even facing the Saintly Virgin Tribe, Yun Luofeng's gaze still contained arrogance, yet causing the opponent's expression to darken.
All these years, Qin Yue had never seen someone who dared to be arrogant before her, yet this woman actually disregarded the Saintly Virgin Tribe?
"If you don't release my tribe's successor, don't blame me for being impolite!" A cold glint streaked across the white-robed lady's eyes and she coldly commanded, "Take her down!"
"Yes!"
Having heard her command, those white-robed bodyguards surrounded Yun Luofeng in succession, encircling her in the middle.
Under their encirclement, Yun Luofeng slightly frowned. Holding on to Little Tree's petite hands, there was no fear in her eyes.
"Master, don't clash head-on with the Saintly Virgin Tribe, you'll lose!"
Within her soul, Bixiao's anxious voice sounded, "Although Lord Little Tree is powerful, they have a treasure that can restrain treants. Otherwise, the Saintly Virgin Tribe wouldn't have been renowned for having methods to deal with treants!"
Yun Luofeng's heart slowly sank.
"Master..." Witnessing Yun Luofeng not heeding her advice, Bi Xiao stomped her feet in anger. "Leave here temporarily and bear it for now. After Lord Xiao Bai awakens, we can explain the situation to the tribe."
Bi Xiao not speaking from the start was because she was shocked into silence by Su Jun. She never knew that a human could be so sinister and crafty, to actually claim that they were mutually in love and that her master killed Lord Xiao Bai.
Lin Ruobai clearly consumed the soul fruit and so lost consciousness. However, even if Xiao Bai were to appear, they wouldn't believe that she was unconscious because of the soul fruit, and think that Yun Luofeng had done something to harm her. After the soul fruit was consumed, there were no other unusual symptoms other than being in a deep sleep. There were no godly physicians in the Saintly Virgin Tribe and so, they were even more unable to determine Xiao Bai's condition.
Huohuo was also anxious as she hastily asked, "Bi Xiao, can you lend Master a hand?"
Bi Xiao shook her head bitterly. "I'm unable to leave this place, or else I could've explained this to the Saintly Virgin Tribe."
If not so, why would she be so anxious?
Hearing Bi Xiao's words, Yun Luofeng swept her glance towards the Saintly Virgin Tribe and became incomparably solemn. As the time limit was up, her dragon-scale armor had disappeared. If she wanted to continue calling upon the armor, she could only wait for the spirit energy in the God Code World to recover. However...
Looking at the numerous white-robed bodyguards in the skies, Yun Luofeng evidently understood that even escaping would be difficult.
.
.
.
Chapter 1499:- Xuanqing Sect's Doomsday (11)
A resplendent smile spread on Little Tree's adorable face. "Mother, leave them to me."
Whoosh!
In an instant, countless vines extended from Little Tree's body and in no time, long vines had twined around those white-robed guards and tightly bound their bodies until they couldn't breathe.
Su Jun was shocked, never expecting that the little boy alongside Yun Luofeng so powerful...
"Treant?" Qin Yue was somewhat surprised. "To think that you're actually a treant."
Treants were different from spirit beasts. A treant required many years of cultivation to have their own wisdom. In particular, treants that could transform into humans were one in ten thousand.
The Saintly Virgin Tribe's life tree was powerful, but even after she transformed into a human form, she was restricted to be inside the tree body, not like Little Tree who could walk around in the outside world. Therefore, the instant she saw Little Tree, greed surfaced in her eyes.
"Stop!" Qin Yue waved her hands, stopping the guards that were rushing towards Yun Luofeng and coldly said, "You're neither human nor spirit beast, but a tree that can transform into a human. Am I right?"
Little Tree snorted, and clearly, he did not have a good impression towards this woman.
"Why don't you follow me?" Qin Yue tried revealing a smile to her greatest extent but her tone was still overbearing and unyielding. "Only by following the Saintly Virgin Tribe will your real abilities be brought out."
Her words implied that she considered Little Tree like a precious treasure that was being misused by having fallen into Yun Luofeng's hands.
"Auntie, you're very ugly so why should I follow you?" Little Tree revealed an innocent and naive smile, while his puerile voice sounded.
Qin Yue's expression suddenly changed and a chilly glint streaked across her eyes. "Hmph! What if I must obtain you today?"
She was the number one beauty of the Saintly Virgin Tribe, yet this little kid actually dared to claim that she was ugly? How could she swallow this anger?
"Then it'll depend on whether you have the ability!" Little Tree's smile was still resplendent as if talking about something unimportant.
"If you were a spirit beast or a human, I would really have no means of subduing you. However..." Qin Yue smiled, and her smile wasn't proud like before. What replaced it was confidence and the determination to win. "You're only a treant."
Other than the life tree, there were countless other trees within the Saintly Virgin Tribe and all these treants were proud and lofty, unwilling to serve them. Even so, being able to subdue those treants, how could the tribe not have a card up their sleeves?
After saying this, Qin Yue fished out a green-colored whip. This long whip was woven using tree vines and radiated a faint powerful aura.
Little Tree's innocent expression turned pale the moment he saw the long whip Qin Yue took out, while his puerile voice contained fury and killing intent.
"Where did you obtain that whip?!"
This was the first time Yun Luofeng saw Little Tree acting like that, and was somewhat shocked as she looked back at the little boy's furious face.
Little Tree tightly clenched his fist while trembling. As Qin Yue hadn't replied to him, he raised his voice and questioned sternly, "Tell me, exactly where did you obtain this whip from?!"

Qin Yue was surprised by Little Tree's behavior but soon recovered her senses. With a mocking smile she replied, "This is the Godly Tree Whip, something that has been passed down for generations in the Saintly Virgin Tribe. It is said that one of our tribe's ancestors obtained it from historical remains, and precisely because of this whip, it has caused countless treants to acknowledge allegiance to us..."
Little Tree's expression was filled with pain and suffering. He tightly hugged his head and sweat flowed from his forehead due to pain.
"I've mentioned this before, no treant can escape from our tribe," Qin Yue sneered, with a smug look. "Right now, aren't you experiencing pain and suffering?"
"Little Tree?" Yun Luofeng hurriedly pulled Little Tree into her embrace and used her palm to gently caress his back. Her voice seemed to contain demonic power as it caused the irritated Little Tree to gradually calm down.
"I won't let anything happen to you." She made a solemn vow and guarantee. After that, she lifted up her wicked eyes and looked at Qin Yue.
"If this Godly Tree Whip causes Little Tree to suffer, then I'll destroy it!"
Destroy it? As if hearing a funny joke, Qin Yue laughed out loud. Her haughty laughter contained arrogance. "You?"
"That's right, I'll destroy it!" Yun Luofeng raised her hand and a longsword appeared in her palms. "Huohuo, Chacha, come out and assist me."
Whoosh!
The moment she spoke, a fiery red fox appeared before Yun Luofeng, and at the same time, its body gradually lengthened and transformed into an adorable little lolita. The cute puppy on Little Tree's head had also jumped down and its body expanded rapidly, turning into a fiendish spirit dog from its original palm-sized adorable look.
"Sage Lord-level spirit beasts?" Qin Yue was stunned while the greed in her eyes became denser.
From the start, she came because of the tribe's successor and had never expected there would be such a great harvest. Not only did she find a treant that could transform into a human, there were also two Sage Lord-level spirit beasts.
"Master," Bi Xiao's voice became increasingly anxious, "although Qin Yue looks young, she should have consumed a life fruit thus retaining her youth. As for her strength, she should be at the Sage Lord-level intermediate rank!"
If Xiao Bai was really the tribe's successor, they would definitely place importance to her and dispatching a Sage Lord-level cultivator was not at all surprising. On the continent, only a few governors of various top-ranked provinces would have attainted Sage Lord advanced rank cultivation. However, they could be counted on one hand, and so other than them, Sage Lord intermediate ranked cultivators were considered the strongest.
If Qin Yue's strength was at Sage Lord intermediate ranked, that is to say, the Saintly Virgin Tribe's strength was not inferior to various huge provinces. Or perhaps, they might even be more powerful...
"Huohuo, distract her!" After giving out the command, Yun Luofeng's tiptoed and dexterously landed on Chacha's back. Immediately after that he understood Yun Luofeng's intentions and dashed towards Qin Yue at the speed of the wind...
As Little Tree was out of control, those bodyguards who were bound were released. Just as they wanted to assist Qin Yue, Xiao Mo and Yun Yi had blocked them.
"Wanting to find trouble for our Master? You'll have to get through us first."
Su Jun's eyes opened wide, while his gaze was filled with fear. He assumed that Yun Luofeng's dragon-scale armor was her last hidden card. Unexpectedly, she had actually concealed two Sage Lord-level spirit beasts.
