Chapter 1108: Chapter 1094: Not Treating Me Like a Dish
“Could it be that you… you’ve obtained something?” Yang Ben pointed at Ye Zhen, his face rapidly changing expressions. “Or rather, you… you’ve gained control over this Blessed Land?”
Upon saying this, Yang Ben’s face changed dramatically again. Without much hesitation, six swift talismans flew from Yang Ben’s palm.
Then, he retreated cautiously to observe.
Indeed, Yang Ben was a crafty old fox; these centuries had not been wasted.
Right away, he almost discerned the truth and thought of a solution—striking at Ye Zhen’s weak point.
Or at least, what he perceived to be Ye Zhen’s weak point.
Ye Zhen guessed correctly; those six talismans from Yang Ben were to notify others.
Since Yang Ben could surmise that Ye Zhen had taken control of this Huichun Blessed Land, and as long as Ye Zhen had the support of thousands of tree demons in this Gu Lan Garden, Yang Ben wouldn’t dare step foot into the Garden.
So simply, Yang Ben sent the talisman communication to notify others, believing that most of the temporary squad here were Ye Zhen’s enemies, and they would have an absolute advantage once they gathered.
Ye Zhen saw through this naturally and quickly sent a talisman communication to Third Brother Sea-Breaking Great Saint.
The fastest to arrive was naturally Shuili Dan King, who was busy gathering spiritual medicine nearby.
Upon seeing Ye Zhen inside Gu Lan Garden and Yang Ben outside, Shuili Dan King asked with a change in expression, “What’s going on?”
Before Yang Ben could answer, a piercing sound suddenly came, and Tower Chief Ou of Stars Tower descended in front of Gu Lan Garden like a bolt of lightning.
He hadn’t spoken yet but merely glanced at Ye Zhen once, and his face repeatedly changed, becoming extremely shocked.
Nothing else—just the significant change in Ye Zhen’s cultivation level.
In truth, among Ye Zhen’s enemies, Dragon Alliance knew him best, but so did Stars Tower.
After all, one of Stars Tower’s most lucrative businesses was intelligence.
According to their information, Ye Zhen was currently twenty-three years old, at the Fifth Stage of Vein Forging Realm.
This information was the latest from a few months ago when Tower Chief Ou left his base to attend the pill appreciation conference hosted by Shuili Dan King.
However, when Ou saw Ye Zhen at the conference, Ye Zhen’s cultivation had already reached the peak of the Sixth Stage of Vein Forging Realm.
Fine, in three or four months such a breakthrough could be accepted.
Ou acknowledged this fact.
But, damn it, after just a few hours, Ye Zhen’s cultivation skyrocketed from the peak of the Sixth Stage to the early Seventh Stage of Vein Forging Realm.
And he’s only twenty-three years old.
Honestly, even Stars Tower’s top cultivation targets weren’t this monstrous.
In terms of wealth, no place in the world could match Stars Tower. Their top cultivation target received all resource allocations, unlimited supplies of pills, cultivation techniques, and access to secret realms for insights.
Yet, their top cultivation target reached the Seventh Stage of Vein Forging Realm at twenty-seven.
While Ye Zhen, just an unorthodox talent, was already in the late Seventh Stage at twenty-three!
If Ou weren’t astounded, it would be strange.
An idea—eradicate—strongly surfaced in Ou’s mind.
They must find a way to eradicate Ye Zhen here. Otherwise, such a demonic genius, once fully matured, would be terrifying as an enemy of Stars Tower.
In an instant, Tower Chief Ou’s gaze moved to Yang Ben. Within moments, the two began an intense exchange through divine soul telecommunication.
Just a few moments later, Young Palace Master Leng Kang of Xuanshui Palace and Island Lord Hei Tian of Black Fiend Island also arrived. Leng Kang first glanced at Ye Zhen before discreetly joining the secret conversation between Ou and Yang Ben.
This scenario was not a place for Leng Kang to show his worth.
Hei Tian paused for a moment at the scene before Ou gestured for him to come over, then fixed his gaze on Shuili Dan King.
During the few moments of their secret discussion, a water blue brilliance came from afar; it was Sea-Breaking Great Saint.
At the instant Sea-Breaking Great Saint appeared, Ou, who was already fully aware of the situation and known for his cunning reputation, had his expression turn sharply incisive.
With a wave, Yang Ben, Hei Tian, and Leng Kang advanced distantly under Ou’s command, clearly with the intent to intercept Sea-Breaking Great Saint.
Later, Ou made a gesture of respect toward Shuili Dan King. “King Peng Dan, if we give you this Huichun Blessed Land afterward, will you join forces with us?”
“Of course, we will not have you act against Ye Zhen due to your existing bonds, King Peng Dan. You only need to assist Hei Tian and the others to constrain Sea-Breaking Great Saint. Leave the rest and wait to claim this Huichun Blessed Land!”
Right in front of Ye Zhen, Ou negotiated with Shuili Dan King.
Shuili Dan King looked at Ye Zhen hesitantly, then finally gritted his teeth, saying, “Ou Tower Chief, I can agree to your terms. However, I owe Brother Ye a great deal. I hope, Ou Tower Chief, you can leave Brother Ye a way out!
Just… consider it a favor I owe you, how about it?”
Upon hearing these words, Ye Zhen was stunned.
Ye Zhen hadn’t expected that at the last crucial moment of interest, Shuili Dan King would actually speak up on his behalf. The character of Shuili Dan King was truly sincere.
Unfortunately, Ou Tu was determined to eliminate Ye Zhen, a potential threat.
At Ou Tu’s level, he already understood what to take and what to leave. Compared to the future threat to Stars Tower, a favor from Shuili Dan King wasn’t significant enough.
However, Ou Tu was exceedingly smooth in his dealings, and naturally wouldn’t directly refuse Shuili Dan King.
“King Peng Dan, this isn’t something I can decide. When Alliance Leader Jie arrives later, you should discuss it with him!”
As he spoke, Ou Tu continued to persuade, “King Peng Dan, you actually should understand that as long as Alliance Leader Jie and his Green Robe Dragon King subordinates arrive, it doesn’t matter which side you stand on.
What is important is that this Huichun Blessed Land should be of great significance to King Peng Dan.”
Instantly, Shuili Dan King’s face showed a conflicted expression.
At the same moment, conflict between Sea-Breaking Great Saint and Yang Ben, Hei Tian, and Leng Kang had already reached a head, threatening to explode into battle at any moment.
“Step aside, whoever dares to block me today will become the mortal enemy of our Heavenly Wing Island. By that time, we will go all out, even at the cost of Heavenly Wing Island’s foundation, to hunt them down swiftly!” Sea-Breaking Great Saint’s eyes were bloodthirsty and frantic, embodying a spirit of killing any human or god that dared to block the way.
“Ah, you truly don’t…consider me as anything significant!”
Just then, Ye Zhen sighed softly and gently stomped his foot!
In an instant, thousands of roots broke through the ground abruptly, wrapping around the crowd like snakes and pythons.
Not only were there underground roots, but throughout Huichun Blessed Land, flowers, grasses, and trees seemed to come alive at Ye Zhen’s stomp, launching branches and leaves to attack everyone.
Don’t underestimate these attacks; some branches and roots turned into saw-like forms in an instant, while others were pitch black, covered densely with potent poison liquid.
The most deadly ones were flowers that trembled and enveloped the crowd with a myriad of colorful lights, containing a sweet yet deadly fragrance.
Anyone with experience would sniff and know—it’s poisonous!
Some bizarre plants directly sprayed globules of malodorous mucus. As these mucus bombarded the protective Spirit Armor worn by the crowd, they began to corrode rapidly.
Various strange attacks emerged endlessly, causing Ou Tu and others to scramble for a response in an instant.
Meanwhile, Sea-Breaking Great Saint, already informed by Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Telecommunication, transformed into a stream of light, and in a flash, arrived within Gu Lan Garden.
Looking at the scene unfolding before him, Ye Zhen was somewhat delighted. All these movements were caused by his newly cultivated Yimu Spiritual Vein with Spirit Communication skill.
Of course, the main reason was the assistance of the Ancient Giant Spirit Tree; otherwise, Ye Zhen’s stomp would only activate plants within a mile radius instead of the current ten miles.
However, truth be told, Ye Zhen’s method of using plants to launch attacks could only be a surprise tactic, an auxiliary maneuver, used to create battle opportunities.
Therefore, within just a breath, the crowd escaped Ye Zhen’s sudden assault.
Yang Ben and Ou Tu were the simplest; a burst of fire and a beam of sword qi cleaned up thoroughly.
The others weren’t much slower.
However, seeing Ye Zhen and Sea-Breaking Great Saint standing side by side, their faces turned dreadfully unsightly.
Especially Ou Tu and Yang Ben.
They knew the dangers posed by the tree demons here. If Ye Zhen were alone, they could easily hold back Sea-Breaking Great Saint while Ou Tu charged in to slay Ye Zhen.
But once Sea-Breaking Great Saint entered Gu Lan Garden with the aid of thousands of tree demons, their task to kill Ye Zhen and obtain the treasures inside became many times harder.
Seeing this, Ou Tu, known as Fox Star, remained unhurried. Instead, he sneered coldly at Ye Zhen, “Ye Zhen, at this point today, I advise you to accept your fate early.
If Alliance Leader Jie arrives, you will find yourself unable to live or die!”
Speaking, Ou Tu shifted his gaze to Shuili Dan King again, “King Peng Dan, now that things have reached this stage, I advise you to join us in dealing with Ye Zhen.
You don’t need to attack Ye Zhen personally. You just need to enter Gu Lan Garden to deal with those bothersome tree demons. Your fire spirit power is their nemesis.
Otherwise, when Alliance Leader Jie arrives, during the ensuing battle, there’s the danger of this Huichun Blessed Land being entirely destroyed!” Ou Tu said.
Instantly, Shuili Dan King’s face changed dramatically; this Huichun Blessed Land was his achilles heel at this moment!
“Alliance Leader Jie, Jie Tianhe?”
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen sneered, “Everyone, don’t you find it strange? You’ve all been gathered here causing a ruckus for half a quarter-hour, but why hasn’t Jie Tianhe appeared yet? Why hasn’t he arrived?”
“Is it because my appeal isn’t strong enough for Jie Tianhe, or is it?”
Ye Zhen’s voice abruptly stopped, but the faces of the others suddenly changed dramatically.
At the same moment, Yang Ben and Ou Tu’s hands flashed with talisman light! (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to for recommendation votes and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read on .)
