897 Tragic Old Locust Tree Ye Qingxuan left. Under the silent night, Violet Cloud Mountain was slightly desolate. No one cared about the ruins after a huge battle. Standing in the cold wind, Ye Qiu looked at the darkness. After a long silence, he slowly said, “Winter is coming. The monster hidden under the abyss is about to revive.” This strange attack had rung a dark alarm. It probably wouldn’t be long before this news spread throughout the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. The recovery of the legendary dark and chaotic monster would cause this land to boil again. At this moment, these large clans in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands must have already begun to silently prepare, right? Of course, don’t expect them to do anything to protect this world. Once the calamity reached an unavoidable point, they would only think of all ways to protect the clan’s final inheritance. Just like the dark chaos back then, those big clans that flaunted their might in the golden age chose to avoid the world and even buried and sealed the geniuses of their clans. It was only when the darkness completely calmed down and light reappeared that they crawled out of the earth and rebuilt their clan. This was also the reason why there were so many ancient and even Immortal Ancient clans in this world. They had many ways to protect themselves, and their considerations were all related to the interests of their race. So, relying on them? It was clearly a stupid decision. “So, what’s your plan next?” Lian Feng silently looked at Ye Qiu, thinking. “Let’s wait and see!” Ye Qiu shook his head and turned around to look at the three of them. Lin Qingzhu was still injured. Ye Qiu simply treated her and gave her a Resurrection Pill. “Go back and rest first. We’ll talk tomorrow.” “Okay! Lin Qingzhu and Yaya replied respectfully before slowly retreating. They were already very tired after today’s bitter battle. After they left, Ye Qiu said to Lian Feng, “Lian’er, go back and rest first. I’ll talk to the Ancestral Guardian Spirit.” “Ancestral Guardian Spirit?” Lian Feng was stunned. She knew the existence of the old pagoda tree on the peak, but its presence was very low. She couldn’t figure out why Ye Qiu was looking for it. However, she didn’t ask. She nodded and said, “Alright, then go. Come back early.” “Mm,” After bidding farewell to Lian Feng, Ye Qiu headed straight for the peak. The divine mountain was very big and tall. Ye Qiu would need a long time to reach the peak from Violet Cloud Mountain. This entire divine mountain was more like a towering tree that pierced through the clouds. It was extremely huge. Violet Cloud Mountain was only one of the very small branches. There were hundreds or thousands of such branches in the Heaven Mending Pavilion. It could be said to be very huge. Even though Ye Qiu had been here for a long time, he had yet to tour the entire divine mountain. Not to mention the forbidden area, Ye Qiu hadn’t even finished visiting the outer sect. Ye Qiu quickly reached the peak. Along the way, he passed by his cave abode and Ming Yue’s cave abode. Ye Qiu didn’t stop. It had been a long time since he had entered his cave abode. It had been empty ever since he moved to Violet Cloud Mountain. The door of Ming Yue’s cave abode opposite was tightly shut. From time to time, a dazzling light would come from inside. Ye Qiu didn’t disturb her because he knew that Ming Yue was doing Dao Integration when she sent him a voice transmission. Therefore, if he disturbed her now, he would definitely be beaten up. A beating from Ming Yue was not good. It would kill someone. It was best not to provoke her. In the darkness, the white moonlight fell on the peak. An old locust tree was comfortably admiring the moonlight, making it exceptionally comfortable. After the battle ended, the old pagoda tree felt like it had survived a calamity. Previously, the wave of blood moon from the Corpse Ancestor had almost severely injured it. It did not have much origin power in its body to begin with. The leaves that it had spent tens of thousands of years growing were even taken away by Linglong. When the Corpse Ancestor first fought in, it was hot-blooded and wished it could go up and fight the other party for three hundred rounds. After all, with Meng Tianzheng around, it had never had a chance to attack in its tens of thousands of years. It felt aggrieved. I, the dignified Ancestral Guardian Spirit, am omnipotent, but I didn’t even have a chance to show off. Now, those young people in the mountains don’t even take it seriously. How could it tolerate this? It definitely couldn’t tolerate it. Therefore, the moment the Corpse Ancestor appeared, the Ancestral Guardian Spirit knew that its chance to show off had finally arrived. It immediately wanted to go up and fight the other party for three hundred rounds to let these young people know what an expert was. How could it gain a foothold in front of this group of juniors in the future if it didn’t prove itself properly? The moment it saw the opportunity, the Ancestral Guardian Spirit attacked. Its vines that filled the sky instantly erupted and attacked the Corpse Ancestor. Unexpectedly, the other party was instantly killed. Everyone did not even react. Perhaps they did not know that it had already attacked at all. They thought that it was still sleeping and did not know what had happened in the mountain. This was too damn awkward. After all, in everyone’s hearts, the prestige of the Ancestral Guardian Spirit was almost as high as the First Elder. As for the Corpse Ancestor, it was not worthy of it attacking. Therefore, no one felt that there was anything wrong with it slacking off the entire time. They thought that this was a test for everyone. Unknowingly, its image seemed to have increased by a few levels. “Phew, I didn’t expect the little fellows these days to be so strong. Looks like I can’t attack casually next time. It’s not too embarrassing that I wasn’t discovered this time. If such a thing happens again, I’m afraid I won’t have the face to stay here.” The old pagoda tree had lingering fears as it recalled that back then, it was also a powerhouse. In its era, it was an existence that competed with the Ten Fiends. If not for the battle in the Immortal Ancient that destroyed its main body and regressed its strength, it would not have curled up on the divine mountain and relied on the faith of the Heaven Mending Pavilion disciples to slowly recover. All these years, although it had recovered a little, its main body had yet to recover. It still could not recover to its peak state. The few green leaves that had barely grown on the withered tree stump were even pulled away by Linglong, returning to before liberation. At this moment, the old pagoda tree had already made up its mind. No matter what, it would never attack again. In the future, if it encountered such a thing again and the other party’s strength was average, it would show off and gain faith for nothing. If the other party was too strong, it would be better to carry the bucket and run. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶 Or just pretend to be dead like before. In any case, its soul was very powerful. As long as it didn’t attack, the other party would definitely think that it was a supreme powerhouse when he felt its powerful soul. Just like the mysterious expert in the abyss just now, he left without saying anything. In any case, it only had one thought now. As long as it didn’t make a move, the other party wouldn’t know how lousy it was.
