Chapter 398 Who do you think they're going to save?
Hongdeng's expression changed slightly, and a hint of disbelief flashed in her eyes. She couldn't even sense Lin Yan!
how come?
In fact, not only could the Red Light not sense Lin Yan and the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Tree in the Forbidden Land of the Pool Abyss, but even the Demon Emperor could not.
Because the forbidden area was completely deserted!
When the ancient spirit tree was being moved, its life was threatened, so it used a secret technique to open a passage to the underworld, and Lin Yan was caught in it.
Hongdeng's gaze suddenly sharpened, and he transmitted his voice to Zhang Zhou, saying in a deep voice: "The Demon Emperor has arrived!"
Zhang Zhou remained calm, his gaze fixed on Shi Shan and Wen Haoyan.
Shi Shan flew into the air and questioned, "Zhang Zhou, aren't you going to give me an explanation?"
Zhang Zhou gently pushed aside a high-level spiritual artifact, causing several golden ripples to spread in the air.
On the ground, the sharp blades that had been chasing the Void Breaking Realm Awakener flashed by and disappeared without a trace.
Zhang Zhou remained calm and smiled faintly: "Old Shi, don't scare me with that stern face. I'm saving you."
Shi Shan bluntly told him to get lost.
Does he need someone to save him?
Unless Ji Xuanli comes.
Wen Haoyan appeared and sat on an ancient tree, asking, "Have you considered the consequences of disobeying the Six Ministries?"
Zhang Zhou seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, and asked in surprise, "Does killing the spirit tree mean the consequences won't be serious?"
"..."
Wen Haoyan neither confirmed nor denied it.
Shi Shan remained silent.
It was obvious that both of them tacitly agreed with Zhang Zhou's statement.
Zhang Zhou wasn't going to let it slide, and retorted sarcastically, "Without the spirit tree, the forest will slowly disappear. How will we patch up this hole then? I just don't understand, just how much benefit is involved..."
Shi Shan rubbed his temples, interrupting him to change the subject, and asked, "I heard that Lord Di Po has returned to Tianluo Forest, what are you doing here?"
At the Lingjue realm, the only way to fight is by creating clones that can't be killed, making the battle meaningless.
Moreover, in the Demon Emperor's territory, it is they who suffer losses from internal strife.
Seeing that the two had no intention of fighting, Zhang Zhou withdrew his magical weapon.
Hongdeng kept looking up at the sky, ignoring Shishan.
He had no choice but to turn his gaze to Zhang Zhou.
Zhang Zhou understood immediately and honestly replied, "I came from the Tianluo Forest, crossing Tianluo City."
Shi Shan asked, "Then why are you with her?"
Zhang Zhou said in a serious tone: "She was passing by Tianji Academy when I stopped her."
Shi Shan was greatly shocked and asked incredulously, "You stopped her? You???"
Although the extent of Emperor Soul's power has not yet been determined, he doesn't think Zhang Zhou has that ability.
It's simple, Zhang Zhou can't beat him.
As for Yun Bai Di Po, she neither helps the Li Guang Forest nor pays attention to Tian Luo City, and has no intention of taking action against Tian Luo City. Since everything is peaceful, there is no need to cause trouble.
Shi Shan looked puzzled.
Zhang Zhou nodded solemnly and without any politeness: "Yes, right above my Tianji Academy."
Wen Haoyan reminded Shi Shan, "Don't be surprised, he didn't actually stop it."
Otherwise, they wouldn't be here.
Shi Shan remembered that the United Academy building was just a few kilometers away from Tianji Academy, and questioned, "Why didn't you ask the United Academy for help?"
If one person can't stop it, surely the entire United Academy can't?
Zhang Zhou's face immediately turned mournful, looking like someone who had swallowed bitterness but couldn't express it. He explained, "If I dare to lay a finger on her in the city, she will raze the academy to the ground."
"Think about it yourself, which is more important, the spirit tree outside the city or the tens of thousands of students inside?"
Shi Shan let out a long sigh.
At this moment, the sky trembled, and a blue vortex twisted and tore through space.
Shi Shan looked up and, without changing his expression, used his skill to disperse the mountain-like pressure.
He then transmitted his voice to the twenty-seven awakened beings at the Breaking Void Realm.
"You guys go first."
The crowd scattered and fled.
Not long after, a handsome young man descended from the sky and hovered in the air.
His gaze flickered slightly as he swept over the three Lingjue Realm experts, finally settling on Hongdeng. He smiled and said, "Missed me, Your Majesty?"
Hongdeng turned his head away and said coldly, "No."
"That's a real pity." After saying that, the Demon Emperor teleported to Zhang Zhou's side and knocked him to the ground with lightning speed.
With a loud "bang!", dust billowed up and a deep crater appeared on the flat ground.
Wen Haoyan wanted to make a move, but Shi Shan stopped him.
If the Demon Emperor wanted to start a war, he wouldn't have come alone.
Besides, Zhang Zhou was not wronged in being beaten. I don't know where that guy's usually sharp brain went. If they moved the spirit tree without the Demon Emperor's permission, wouldn't that be tantamount to courting death?
"Cough cough!" Zhang Zhou coughed twice, contentedly brushed away the dust, and sat down at the bottom of the pit, not going up.
Aside from the red light, all the people above are on the opposite side of him.
Thinking that the Six Divisions and the Demon Emperor might one day cooperate, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Your Highness, Demon Emperor, I'm not familiar with Lord Di Po. Shouldn't we distinguish between races when we're jealous? Humans and ghosts are different."
You can rest assured, I won't become a demon, and I most likely won't become a monster. As for becoming a ghost, I've never done anything shameful, unlike some people. When I die, I will definitely be reincarnated as a human in the netherworld, not become a ghost and go to hell.
Shi Shan's expression changed slightly. He could hear the sarcasm in his voice, but he was powerless to do anything about it, and he was immediately furious.
The Demon Emperor ignored Zhang Zhou, looked around but found nothing, then turned to the indifferent woman holding the umbrella, "Where is your master?"
Hongdeng wanted to return to Tianluo Forest to see the Ghost King.
Why did we return to the Crystal Forest?
Hongdeng didn't answer, but turned and left with the words, "That spirit tree cannot die."
The Demon Emperor glanced at Zhang Zhou, who was still sitting at the bottom of the pit, and disappeared into the night.
Shi Shan and Wen Haoyan exchanged a glance and left separately. They hadn't caught the spirit tree, and it would be difficult to explain themselves.
The forest fell silent.
Zhang Zhou was still at the bottom of the pit, pondering who the Six Divisions wanted to save by asking for the heart of the Spirit Tree.
He then took out his communication device and asked, "Where did you accept the bounty for the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Tree?"
The other person didn't say anything.
Zhang Zhou raised an eyebrow: "Want to die?"
Ye Heifeng was silent for a few seconds, then said weakly, "Can I not say?"
"Okay, then you can start running now. I'll need about [a certain amount of time] to get back..."
Ye Heifeng's hesitation vanished instantly, and he eagerly declared, "Six Divisions!"
What are the Six Departments doing? Why go to such lengths?
Zhang Zhou then asked, "Whom do they want to save?"
"Uh... let me think, it seems to be someone named Lanqiao."
Zhang Zhou's pupils dilated in shock. "Who do you think they're going to save???"
Ye Heifeng slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, it's Lanqiao. He used to be a gatekeeper at the Holy Domain."
"Teacher, you've probably never heard of him. A few years ago, after something happened in the lower three levels, that person awakened a very powerful skill—the ability to enter a certain area. The higher-ups of the Six Departments value this person highly."
Lan Qiao is Lin Yan's nominal older brother; he's heard of him.
No wonder Lanqiao has been gone for so long; it turns out the Six Divisions have hidden themselves away.
What other place besides the secret realm could Lanqiao enter that would tempt the Six Ministers and the Demon Emperor?
Zhang Zhou asked seriously, "Where?"
Ye Heifeng replied, "I don't know, the Six Divisions are on very tight guard."
Zhang Zhou was almost certain, but he was still very doubtful. Could Lanqiao really lead to the Dragon Clan's Secret Realm?! Wasn't it said that the internal space was unstable and still under repair?
He suddenly remembered something and asked, "What are you doing near Yunhe?"
Ye Heifeng complained, "It was Pei Qian who discovered that there were demons talking in the city. I'm the only one in the Lingjue Realm who's free in Tianluo City. The old men from the United Academy said that as long as this matter is resolved, they won't hold me accountable for causing Lin Yan to drop a grade."
So Pei Qian is dragging me around looking for them, there's a whole bunch of Ling Juejings watching, it's driving me crazy."
