Chapter 343
Chapter 343
Zhong Xian had only heard of monsters that blended into the natural landscape in rumors, but he never expected that they actually existed.
It’s ridiculous that the monks don’t understand this and still want to kill Shu Tianzhu.
Once the tree Tianzhu dies, Yaoling Valley will also disappear, and all the magical herbs and medicines they planted will be wasted.
Looking at Shu Tianzhu's smiling yet frank eyes, Yu Xi raised his eyes and his tail drooped down little by little:
"So you want to die?"
Shu Tianzhu's attitude clearly shows that he is determined to die and wants to perish together with the monks.
Shu Nanzhi suddenly looked at Shu Tianzhu.
"Grandpa?" She grabbed Shu Tianzhu's hand, her expression tense, her emerald eyes filled with fear and uneasiness. "Is what Master Demon God said true?"
In front of Yu Xi, Shu Tianzhu couldn't lie.
He couldn't bear to see Shu Nanzhi crying. He loved the youngest of the tree demon clan the most.
He could only raise his hand to hold the back of Shu Nanzhi's head, holding her in his arms and said:
"Nanzhi, this is what grandpa must do."
Before Shu Nanzhi could speak, Shu Tianzhu spoke first:
"The Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake is the most important place in Yaoling Valley. It is like my heart. Hidden there is the treasure left by you, Master Demon God. I have guarded it for tens of thousands of years. Even if I can't return it to you, Master Demon God, I can't let it fall into the hands of the current immortal sect."
"What treasure would you risk your life for?"
"Wind and Thunder Pearl."
Shu Tianzhu told Yu Xi everything without hesitation:
"This is the inner elixir of the Copper-Scaled Snake, a demonic beast from the Ghost Realm. The Immortal Sect captured me first to seize my Medicine Spirit Valley, and secondly, to obtain the Wind and Thunder Pearl.
"I can sense that they have already dug into the core of the Medicine Spirit Valley. In a month at most, they will be able to truly touch my 'heart'. By then, I won't be able to protect the Wind and Thunder Pearl. It will have to be buried with me, the Wind and Thunder Pearl, and the entire Medicine Spirit Valley."
When Zhong Xian heard the words "Wind and Thunder Pearl", his hands hanging by his side clenched tightly.
Luo Chunxi said that the Wind and Thunder Pearl is the medicine that can heal his body.
He had been looking for it all these years, but there was no news. Unexpectedly, it suddenly appeared in front of him.
His first reaction was to grab it.
Who knows whether Shu Tianzhu will give them the Wind and Thunder Pearl? The fastest and safest way is to just snatch it away.
But the Wind and Thunder Pearl belongs to the tree monsters, and the tree monsters have a good relationship with Xiao Xier. If he tries to snatch it in front of Xiao Xier, Xiao Xier will probably care.
But one month is too tight a timeframe, and it would be difficult for him to go to the Immortal Gate Conference and come back.
Then he stays in Yaoling Valley and lets Xiao Xier and the others go to the Immortal Gate Conference?
No, there are many masters in the Immortal Gate Conference, and he would feel uneasy if he didn't go.
Jizhi's body compared to his...
"Xiao Xi'er."
Zhong Xian made a quick decision and said calmly, "Let's go. The Tree Demon Clan will handle the matter of Yaoling Valley themselves."
Once Jizhi's soul is gone, it's all over. The sooner we can get it back, the better.
If he works faster, maybe he can come back within a month.
It doesn't matter even if he doesn't get the Wind and Thunder Pearl. He can still rely on the evil ghost essence and the Xuanyuan Order to prolong his life. Anyway, he has become accustomed to this body, so it doesn't matter if it is not healed.
As for the option of staying to help the tree demon, Zhong Xian had never even thought about it. Even if he believed that Xiao Xier was the demon god, he would not believe that Shu Tianzhu would really give them the Wind and Thunder Pearl.
He is a bad guy. He cares about Xiao Xier much more than himself. He doesn't trust others, can't do good things to help others, and doesn't want to do it.
Zhong Xian pulled Yu Xi and turned to leave, but unexpectedly, when he turned around, he couldn't pull the person away.
Turning around, he saw Yu Xi looking up at him. She smiled when she saw him looking at her, but her clear and lively eyes were misty and covered with water vapor for some reason.
"Brother, we are demons, and now is a good opportunity for us to do bad things."
"bad thing?"
"Kill the monks here and see if they have the soul of my second brother. Then save the tree demon and Yaoling Valley."
"Is this a bad thing?"
"Then I'll pretend to be a demon god and steal the wind and thunder beads from the tree demon leader. How's that? Isn't that bad enough?"
Seeing Yu Xi openly coming up with evil ideas in front of Shu Tianzhu, everyone, including Zhong Xian, was stunned.
From what Yu Xi said, it was obvious that she wanted their help, so why was she being so awkward?
Isn't that like Yu Xi's usual style?
Shu Tianzhu was the first to laugh out loud, "Master Demon God, the Wind and Thunder Pearl originally belonged to you. If you want to help us, don't lie, I'll give it to you for free."
Yu Xi waved his hand:
"No, if you don't cheat me, I'll rob you."
Now everyone else was also amused by Yu Xi.
Only Zhong Xian understood something amidst the laughter.
He suddenly squatted down and hugged Yu Xi tightly, his fingers trembling slightly. After a while, he said in a sullen voice:
"Well, that's too bad."
Always see through him at a glance, indulge him, change him, and protect him.
