Chapter 499 - The Tree Of Splendour (1/2)

Feng Yiyuan twitched his mouth, and he was extremely anxious.

It turned out that he and his people relied on the scholar and thought they were treating Ou Yangming and his companions with enough courtesy, but they did not treat them as peers. After witnessing the unreasonably fearsome powers of Ou Yangming and his fellows, one could imagine how Feng Yiyuan and his people were feeling.

The great ancestor hurried over to Ou Yangming and smiled bitterly as he asked, “Master Ou, what orders do you have?”

There was a huge difference in his att.i.tude this time.

Ou Yangming looked up and questioned, “Where did this fool come from? How dare he disturb us from sleeping late at night? Does he not know basic manners at all?”

He was earlier immersed in the little red bird’s spiritual world and gained some knowledge from the Phoenixes’ secret techniques, hence he was clueless about the events in the outside world. It was not that he was being reckless, but he strongly believed that his people would not be in serious danger without his help because the little bird and Big Yellow were around.

Nonetheless, Ou Yangming immediately awoke when the scholar released his aura as a supreme powerhouse.

The young fellow left the little red bird’s spiritual world but instead of showing up right away, he observed in the dark. Although he did not know where the man came from and could not figure out why he came to court his death, he figured that it would be perfect training for Ni Yinghong and Jiang Jiumei.

All in all, Ou Yangming did not have a favorable impression of the man that came to ask for a beating.

Feng Yiyuan was stunned for a brief moment. He looked at the miserable scholar and did not know how he should answer the question.

“Master, t-this is the Almighty Being from the upper realm. We’ve been addressing him as our sir, but we know nothing about his origin.” Feng Yiyuan forced a smile as he continued, “There was a theft case in the city today, and he suspected…”

Ou Yangming furrowed his eyebrows. “Are you suspected that we did it?”

Feng Yiyuan immediately waved his hand and said, “Master Ou, please don’t misunderstand us. We never thought that’s the case; it’s sir’s speculation, and we were forced to come here with him!”

He cried for injustice but thought, ‘You’re probably the only ones in the entire city that can discreetly take the Tree of Splendour away.’ Nevertheless, unless he was tired of living, he would not have the guts to say that out loud.

Ou Yangming frowned. “What went missing? Heh, judging from how you came here with great fanfare, I suppose it’s not an ordinary item.”

Big Yellow glanced at the young fellow and was relieved when it noticed that he was not suspecting it at all.

In actuality, Ou Yangming was not a deity, so how could he a.s.sociate the matter with the big yellow dog?

Feng Yiyuan answered with respect, “Master Ou, the treasure that went missing is a rare plant brought by sir from the upper realm. I think it’s called… The Tree of Splendour?”

“The Tree of Splendour? That’s impossible. How could a petty human like him possess a rare treasure like the Tree of Splendour?” Before Ou Yangming could say a word, he heard the little red birds’ voice in his head.

After the run-in period between their mental powers, Ou Yangming and the little red bird no longer needed to communicate through speech.

Needless to say, Ou Yangming was not accustomed to this communication method yet, so unless they were in public, he was not willing to communicate in this way.

He frowned and asked, “Lil’ Red, what’s the Tree of Splendour?”

Even though many bizarre events were recorded in the ancient books in this realm, he never read about the Tree of Splendour.

“The Tree of Splendour is a peculiar plant with the shape of an inverted pyramid. As long as it’s provided with sufficient energy, it’ll secret a type of liquid with wonderful effects for every living being. It’s truly a rare treasure in the universe.”

“Oh? What liquid is that? What does it do?” Ou Yangming asked casually.

“Regeneration!” The little bird chirped. “Let’s go and get this thing. It’s born to be n.o.ble, and its effect will only be fully unleashed if we have it!”
