The boisterous atmosphere from just moments ago instantly quieted down.
A somewhat suffocating atmosphere continuously spread throughout the area.
One of the disciples asked, confused, "Tang Fei, she was with you for so long. How could you bear to do it?"
Another disciple also said, "Tang Fei, you're being a bit selfish! If you can't have her, why not let your brothers have a chance?"
A third disciple added, "Seriously, we misjudged you."
Tang San sneered, a cold aura instantly surged from his body, pressing down on these people until they could barely breathe.
Then, he said, "If you can't stand it, then get lost, or else follow me, and I will definitely protect you."
To his surprise, these disciples left one by one.
Tang San frowned. He had expected one or two to leave, but he didn't know they would all leave. However, it didn't matter; he was used to being alone, so it was fine.
Now, he could go directly to Zhuge Lan. At that time, he would use Tang Fei's identity to infiltrate the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's team.
Then, assassinate Zhuge Lan.
After Tang San left, these disciples circled back.
These disciples looked at one of them and asked, "Brother, you just said that this isn't Tang Fei, but someone occupying Tang Fei's body. Is that true?"
The disciple nodded and said, "Yes, I saw with my own eyes the fake Tang Fei kill Luo Baiwei with a vine."
Another disciple shook his head and said, "No, Luo Baiwei's Spirit is a Six-Tailed Fox. She can only be completely killed after six times. In this situation, she cannot be killed."
Afterward, the disciples went behind the tree and found it empty, with only a broken tail on the ground.
She had clearly escaped.
At this moment, a disciple said, "Brothers, what do we do now? Should we welcome Senior Brother Tang Ao back?"
Another disciple quickly said, "No, Senior Brother Tang Ao is very petty. If we welcome Tang Ao, he might secretly kill us."
The third disciple nodded and said, "What everyone said makes sense. We'll just kill Grass Spirits in the Grass Spirit Grassland and wait for the secret realm to close."
The disciples then nodded, clearly agreeing to this point.
...
Wood Spirit Forest.
After Zhuge Lan killed the Mu Kui Leader, Wood Spirits continuously launched suicide attacks as they walked.
At this moment, they were surrounded by three Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Wood Spirits.
Zhuge Lan looked at the three Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Wood Spirits blocking their way, a hint of confusion on his face.
These Wood Spirits couldn't defeat them, yet they kept attacking. Although there was no real danger, it was truly annoying.
He knew that Wood Spirits could understand speech, so he said, "Aren't you annoying? Is it really good to keep doing this?"
Xiao Ai, who was behind Zhuge Lan, also nodded and said, "Brother Lei Yun is right. I think so too. You should leave quickly!"
Ning Rongrong glared at Xiao Ai, then said irritably, "Xiao Ai, Lei Yun is Lei Yun. Why call him brother? You really are something."
Zhuge Lan also had a headache when he heard that. He was currently playing the role of Lei Yun, and this girl, Xiao Ai, had actually fallen for him. This was troublesome, as his true identity was Zhuge Lan, and he was often intimate with Ning Rongrong.
In this situation, he could always feel the killing intent in Ning Rongrong's eyes.
At this moment, a Wood Spirit looked at Zhuge Lan and cried out in pain, "Damn it, you killed our clan leader! We must avenge ourselves!"
The Wood Spirit directly merged with the large tree below its body. After merging, it attacked Zhuge Lan.
Zhuge Lan was helpless. He didn't want to fight either. The previous Mu Kui Leader, Mu Wan, was truly disgusting, as he had tried to possess Ning Rongrong and several female disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
In this situation, his anger led him to kill him.
Normally, he didn't want to kill Soul Beasts that had developed sentience.
He softly shouted, "Qilin Fist."
He threw a punch, and the faint shadow of a Qilin appeared on his fist. It collided with the Wood Spirit, pushing the Wood Spirit back step by step.
He then shouted, "Wood Spirits, your clan leader is dead. Can't you just choose another clan leader? Is it necessary to fight so desperately?"
The three Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Wood Spirits were instantly stunned. At this moment, a Wood Spirit said, "That makes sense. Why don't we choose a clan leader?"
Another Wood Spirit nodded. "That's a good idea! Why didn't I think of that?!"
The third Wood Spirit said, "Okay, we'll convene a large meeting to discuss who to choose as the new clan leader."
Zhuge Lan nodded. "Is that right? If you ask me, just choose one from among yourselves, and then announce it to the entire Mu Kui Clan. Wouldn't that be fine?"
The three Wood Spirits pondered for a moment, but still decided to go back and hold a large meeting to discuss. As they left, one Wood Spirit turned around.
He said to Zhuge Lan, "Outsider, the Tree God has already issued a bounty to kill you all, and has sent out a Tree God Sacrifice. You'd best escape quickly."
Zhuge Lan's face showed a look of confusion. Who was the Tree God, and what was a Tree God Sacrifice? As for escaping, he certainly wouldn't.
With him here, even if a 100,000-Year Soul Beast arrived, he wouldn't be afraid.
So, he asked, "Who is the Tree God? Where is he?"
The Wood Spirit shook his head and didn't speak, but turned and walked into the jungle, quickly disappearing.
At this moment, Ning Rongrong, who was beside him, explained, "The Tree God is the strongest existence here, which is a 100,000-Year Soul Beast. The Tree God Lake on the map is where this 100,000-Year Soul Beast lives."
Zhuge Lan's eyes lit up. Wasn't his goal a 100,000-Year Soul Beast?
So he said, "Okay, we'll head to Tree God Lake."
Ning Rongrong's face showed a hint of doubt, then she said, "I'm not clear about the Tree God Sacrifice the Wood Spirit mentioned."
Zhuge Lan smiled helplessly. "If you're not clear, I'm even less clear. This Tree God Sacrifice should be a servant of the Tree God, and I feel it should be a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."
Ning Rongrong thought for a moment, then looked through the map several times and said, "I can't find any information about the Tree God's servants, but with Zhu... Lei Yun here, we're not afraid."
At this moment, Xiao Ai, who was behind them, also said excitedly, "Yes, Brother Lei Yun is truly amazing."
Zhuge Lan clearly felt a cold killing intent approaching, obviously from Ning Rongrong looking at him. He said helplessly, "Xiao Ai, I have someone I like. You should like someone else!"
