Chapter 109: Bad News

  It's also worth thinking about, to be a living tree that has survived for tens of thousands of years: "Needless to say, the Tree of Life is said to have been born with the Goddess of Life in this space, and it's imaginable how much it knows, it's simply an encyclopedia.

  Whoosh! The boundary of the Tree of Life opened, and Long Ziyun and Qierci suddenly felt a jolt in their bodies. Both of their faces revealed expressions of incredulity. After a moment, a line of clear tears fell from the corner of Long Ziyun's eyes. He slowly walked to the front of the Tree of Life and knelt down, while Qierci knelt down on the spot.

  "Children, you have worked hard for these years." The Tree of Life let out a sigh of emotion.

  "It doesn't matter if we suffer or not, as long as Mother is fine, none of us will suffer." Long Ziyuan said with tears in her eyes.

  "Huh? The dragon boy who was playing outside suddenly stopped and showed a surprised expression on his face. He ran to the Tree of Life in an instant, with joy on his face, saying: "Grandma.""

  "Hehe. Our dragon child has grown up too." The Tree of Life's tone was filled with a burst of laughter. It seems that after the long-term pain disappeared, the Tree of Life is in a very good mood.

  Zite saw Leng Xiao Yu standing in front of the Tree of Life with a look of displeasure on his face and transmitted his voice: "Human, don't you think it's very impolite to listen to others talk about things?" "Ah!" Leng Xiao Yu, who had been thinking about which three conditions he wanted, heard Zite's words. His expression was slightly stunned, and then a smile appeared on his face as he prepared to leave.

  "Little brother, you don't have to leave. From now on, this little brother will be a noble guest of our Spirit Tribe. If anyone shows disrespect to him in the future, expel them from the tribe immediately. Do you two understand?" The Tree of Life suddenly spoke up, and the face at the base of the trunk glared fiercely at Zites, seemingly extremely dissatisfied with her.

  "Ah!" Four voices of surprise rang out, and one of them was naturally Cold Skye's own.

  Long Ziyuan, after all, is the queen of the spirit tribe. She naturally knows more than anyone else, and when she heard her mother say this, her eyes rolled over and she immediately understood why her mother would say such a thing. If she wasn't mistaken, her mother's "illness" should have been cured by that human, which means that human is the savior of the entire spirit tribe. Wouldn't her mother be furious if their benefactor was bullied by one of their own juniors? Anyone would be angry in that situation.

  "You three go down! I have some things to discuss with this young brother."

  "Right," replied Long Ziyu and the other two in unison, their voices barely above a whisper. The three of them felt their bodies tighten, and immediately they appeared before the lake.

  "Oh yeah!" Long'er let out a surprised voice: "From now on, I won't be afraid of not having a place to cultivate, and I also won't be afraid of not having the Water of Life for cultivation."

  Long Ziyuan's face wore a smile as she gazed at her daughter's excited expression, but her mouth reproached: "With your level of cultivation, you still have the nerve to say that cultivating"

  Zi Tuo might have also been revived by the Tree of Life, and at this moment, she was overjoyed in her heart. She chimed in with Long Ziyuan's words and laughed: "If that little girl could just calm down for a bit that day, I think it would be all over. And yet you still want her to cultivate? Your Majesty, isn't this making things difficult for people?"

  "Mom, Grandpa, you two are so mean! I won't play with you anymore. I'm going to go find the unicorn and have fun!" Long'er pouted her small mouth, stomped her little feet, and ran off towards the lake where the unicorns were playing, joining in on their frolicking amidst the spotless white creatures.

  Ten days later, Leng Xiangyao stood in a certain place of the Spirit Clan, behind him was the female emperor of the Spirit Clan, Long Ziyuan, the ten elders, and a little girl, who was naturally the little princess of the Spirit Clan, and also the person who saved Leng Xiangyao, Long Er.

  "Wooden man, can't you just stay a few more days?" Long'er pouted, anyone could see that she was unhappy at the moment.

  Leng Xiao Yao heard Long Er's words. A bitter smile appeared on his face, although he had the heart to stay for a few more days, but since he learned some news from the Tree of Life, he had to hurry back to the Tian Jun Division as soon as possible, because he found a medicine that could cure his grandfather, none other than the Water of Life. Although Leng Xiao Yao was severely injured and all his meridians were severed, one drop of the Water of Life couldn't heal him, what about two drops? Three drops? The Tree of Life told Leng Xiao Yao clearly that ten drops of the Water of Life could absolutely restore a person whose entire body's meridians were crippled to their original cultivation state, this was the power of the Water of Life.

  Long Ziyuan saw the scene of Leng Xiangyang's bitter smile, and a stern expression appeared on her face as she scolded her daughter: "Long'er, don't be reckless! Brother Leng must have urgent matters to attend to. Besides, as long as Leng Xiangyang has time, he can come back anytime. Are you still worried that you won't see him?"

  Long'er was scolded by his mother, and suddenly his eyes turned red, covering his face with both hands as he ran backward. As he walked, he cried out: "Waaahhh, you're all bad eggs! Long'er doesn't want to have anything to do with you guys anymore!"

  As he saw Long Er, his heart skipped a beat. Instinctively, he wanted to reach out and call out to him. But when he thought of his grandfather's paralyzed appearance and the uncertainty of his own future path, he withdrew his hand again.

  "The little girl was ignorant, and hoped that Young Master Leng would forgive her. Long Ziyu had already subtly changed into his attire and apologized, saying that he had learned from his mother's teachings. From then on, he transformed into Young Master Leng."

  "Your Majesty is too kind, it's actually a good thing that Long'er can maintain her innocence." Cold Xiao said with a sincere expression.

  "Hehe, Young Master Leng has spoken." Long Ziyuan's face had a hint of a smile.

  Leng Xiao nodded slightly, then patted the pure white unicorn beside him and bowed to Long Ziyun: "I'll take my leave first, please return."

  "If Young Master Leng wants to come back, the gates of our Elven clan will always be open for you."

  "Yes, as long as I have time, I will definitely come back again."

  Leng Xiangyao let out a sigh of emotion. After scanning the beautiful scenery around him with his eyes, he smiled slightly and turned to mount the unicorn, whispering in its ear: "Xiao Bai, let's go."

  Whoosh! The little white unicorn's hooves spread apart, its figure flashing like lightning as it dashed towards the outside of the forest, seemingly releasing its inner joy, as if it knew that it would soon see the world outside, extremely excited.

  Leng Xiao was sitting on the back of the unicorn, and when it moved its body, he almost fell off from the back. Fortunately, Leng Xiao stabilized his body in time and quickly released his soul power to protect himself from the wind that came with the movement.

  "Hoo hoo hoo, a burst of piercing wind sounds in Leng Xiang's ear."

  "It's indeed the Unicorn of the Spirit Clan, and the rumors are true. It moves like lightning, but I wonder what its attacking power is like?" thought Cold Imprisoned silently to himself, his mind recalling when the Tree of Life had suggested three conditions to him, one of which was to take in a unicorn that would play a huge role for him in the future.

  Three hours later, Leng Xiao rode the unicorn to the southern edge of the Gaoshan Mountains. As soon as he stepped into the territory controlled by the Tianjun Army, Leng Xiao felt a bad premonition rising in his heart.

  The unicorn's whole body kept shaking constantly, as if it didn't want to enter the south at all, and its progress was very slow.

  "What?" Leng Xiangyang turned around, and what he saw in front of him made his killing intent surge to the sky, his eyes bulging with blood.

  All that can be seen are the bodies of the dead, scattered all over the ground, with the emblem of the Heavenly Army on their clothes. Needless to say, these people were from the outer circle of the Heavenly Army.

  Leng Xiao Yao suppressed the anger in his heart, and with a slight squeeze of his legs, the unicorn seemed to understand its master's current mood and obediently headed in the direction Leng Xiao Yao indicated.

  "What exactly happened here?" Leng Xiangyao walked towards the Tianjun Corps base, his anger burning even more fiercely in his heart. At this moment, he wished to let out a loud roar to release the pent-up energy within him.

  "Huuuh!!!’' The cool and carefree Leng Xiang Yao drove the unicorn to the middle of the mountain, seeing the scene in front of him, he could no longer hold back.

  "Ahhh!!!!!" A long, mournful howl echoed through the forest. The wild beasts and magical creatures were frightened by this sound, and they all fled in a panic.

  Leng Xiangyao's figure floated down in front of a body, and his eyes reddened. In front of him was the person he was most familiar with in the Tianjun Corps - Huang Tao.

  "Young master, it's not that Huang Tao doesn't want to let loose, but if we show our hand now, we'll inevitably attract the attention of other forces in the future. Huang Tao can die, but he can't afford to lose the family's foundation, otherwise, even if I die, I won't have the face to see the master again."

  "What is your greatest wish, Brother Huang?"

  "What's your greatest wish?"

  "Alright."

  "Heh heh, young master, to be honest with you, my greatest wish is to marry a wife and live out the rest of my life in peace and stability. However, as a soldier, from the day I stepped into the military camp, I had already cast this wish aside. If I really had a choice, I would hope that Huang Tao's death was for the sake of his family, this is the best destination for Huang Tao."

  "Huang Da Ge, actually with your current status, there are many women who want to marry you, why don't you find one?"

  "You're joking, young master. I, Huang Tao, have always wanted to find a decent woman to settle down with, but unfortunately, I can no longer go back to living a peaceful life. I don't want my children to follow in my footsteps in the future, so until the world is at peace, I don't want to drag others down with me."

  "Why are all of you brothers single? Are you thinking the same way as Huang?"

  "What about those little monkeys? They're actually very simple-minded, each with their own thoughts, and they've gotten used to a life of killing. If you suddenly ask them to live a peaceful life, I think they'd go crazy." Leng Xiao closed his eyes, recalling the conversation he had with Huang Tao in the Gaiya Mountains, as if the laughter still echoed like yesterday's words.

  "Brother Huang, brothers, rest in peace! I, Leng Xiao Yao, swear here that I will avenge your deaths and slay our enemies with my own hands. If not, let me not die a good death." Leng Xiao Yao gently closed the unwilling eyes of Huang Tao, muttering to himself.

  It's unclear whether it was the effect of Leng Xiao Yao's words or some strange phenomenon, but the soldiers and the heart-patterned men around Huang Tao suddenly changed. Originally, a large number of them were on the verge of death, but after Leng Xiao Yao's sentence fell, they all smiled and closed their eyes.

  Suddenly, Leng Xiangyao appeared in front of Huang Tao after closing his eyes, and his palm slightly opened, as if there were still a few blood characters in his palm.

  Leng Xiao Yao took a look. Suddenly, his mood was both sad and joyful. On Huang Tao's palm were written four words: "Marshal Ping An". Leng Xiao Yao felt sad because even at the moment of his death, Huang Tao did not forget to leave behind a message for himself. Such a loyal general is hard to come by! He felt joyful because his grandfather was still alive. It must have been before the war started that Huang Tao had let Ping Fan take his grandfather and Fu Bo away. Because Ping Fan had his own contract beast, a 7th-level magic beast Golden Eagle, which he had seen with his own eyes during the breakout from Leng Manor.

  Half an hour later, at the middle of the mountain where the Tianjun Temple was located, a huge tomb appeared. Leng Xiangyang silently gazed at the massive tomb in front of him, muttering to himself: "Huang Dage, brothers... rest in peace! One day, I will take down our enemies and come back to pay my respects."

  After Leng Xiangyao finished speaking, he turned around and whispered a few words to the unicorn beside him, then unfolded his figure and jumped up in the mountain mist. A moment later, he arrived at the entrance of the Tianjun Corps base, where the entrance was piled high with corpses, both enemy and their own.

  He walked along the road, saw many touching scenes, and indeed, every soldier of the Heavenly Army was a hero. He saw countless soldiers of the Heavenly Army embracing the enemy's body tightly before dying, allowing their companions to kill the enemy. Some were even pierced through the abdomen by the enemy's long spear, while their own soldiers hugged the enemy and inserted the long spear in their abdomen backwards with force, even if it meant death. They also dragged an enemy soldier along to accompany them in burial.

  "Brothers, your blood will not be shed in vain." Leng Xiao Yao thought to himself.

  As he stepped into the training grounds of the Tianjun Corps' headquarters, his expression changed once again. He saw a shocking scene before him.

  Only one man wearing a general's uniform was seen, with six or seven arrows stuck in his body, and two long spears stuck in his left abdomen, and a long sword stuck in his right chest. What killed him, however, was the long sword that pierced through his chest. Behind him stood another general from the Demon Army, apparently a leader of their own side who wanted to take an enemy general with him to the afterlife before he died. What was most astonishing was that under these two corpses were piles and piles of dead bodies, with the two generals' corpses standing on top. "Alas! The brave are invincible, this saying is not deceiving me." Leng Xiangyang sighed in his heart, recognizing the general as the commander of the Seventh Army of the Heavenly Army, a normally introverted person. He did not expect him to have such a fierce side, and judging from the piles of enemy corpses at his feet, he had single-handedly killed hundreds of enemies in this battle, before finally dying together with an enemy general, truly a hero of his time!

  "Alas!" After burying the team leader, Leng Xiangyou swept his gaze over the once glorious Tianjun Team base, then turned to leave. But just as he took a step forward, his ears perked up slightly. Suddenly, a hint of joy appeared on his face, and his figure flashed rapidly towards the wine cellar.

  Bang, bang, bang! Leng Xiangyao wielded his trusty staff, striking the massive boulders in front of him one by one, sending them flying. After dozens of breaths, he finished clearing away the giant rocks piled up at the entrance to the wine cellar. Before his eyes was a face he knew extremely well.

  "Brother Tiger?" Leng Xiao Yao exclaimed in surprise, his figure flashing into the wine cellar and lifting up Zheng Xiao Hu who still had a breath of life left on the ground.

  At the moment when Zheng Xiaohu's consciousness was scattered, he seemed to hear someone calling him, so he struggled to open his eyes. The first thing that entered his sight was Leng Xiao Yao's concerned face. He opened his eyes again in disbelief, as if testing whether he was dreaming or not.

  Big brother?

  "En, En Leng Xiao hastily nodded and asked: "Tiger brother, what's going on here? How did it become like this?"

  "Here, here." Zheng Xiaohu only said two "here"s before his head tilted to one side and he fainted directly into Leng Xianya's arms.

  "Brother Tiger, Brother Tiger!" Leng Xiao Yao shook Zheng Xiao Hu slightly. Seeing that Zheng Xiao Hu didn't react at all, he quickly released his spiritual sense to examine him. What he saw made his heart skip a beat. After examining him, Leng Xiao Yao couldn't help but admire how Zheng Xiao Hu managed to hold on until his arrival despite such severe injuries.

  Leng Xiao Yao directly pulled out a delicate small porcelain bottle from his bosom, opened the stopper, and immediately a refreshing fragrance wafted out of the porcelain bottle. Leng Xiao Yao directly pinched open Zheng Xiaohu's mouth, and the porcelain bottle in his hand lightly dripped a drop of transparent white liquid into Zheng Xiaohu's mouth.
