Chapter 519 – The Treant Clan (1/2)

The next day. Their group arrived at Mount Heavenshaker under Yin Xuan’er’s lead.

Yang Ye was shocked when he caught sight of the mountain. It was very tall to the point it pierced into the clouds, and it was impossible to lay eyes on its peak. Not to mention a Spirit Realm profounder, even an Exalt Realm expert couldn’t fly over such a tall mountain!

“Are you shocked?” Yin Xuan’er smiled. “Husband, I know that you’re strong, but it’s absolutely impossible for you to go through Mount Heavenshaker without my help. Even if you’ve attained the Exalt Realm.”

“Hey, why are you so shameless?” Lu Jianyao glared at Yin Xuan’er and said, “He has a wife already, yet you still call him your husband?” Even though she didn’t know who Yin Xuan’er was, Lu Jianyao knew that she definitely had ill intent towards Yang Ye. She didn’t have an exact reason for her suspicion, and it was solely out of her intuition as a woman!

Mo Qingyue glanced at Yin Xuan’er and remained silent.

Yin Xuan’er glanced at Lu Jianyao before she said, “My father has betrothed me to him, so he’s my husband. Actually, what has that got to do with you? Oh, I know. Do you like my husband? Haha, it’s fine. I’m a very magnanimous person, so I won’t have any objections if he takes you as a concubine of his!”

“You….” Lu Jianyao’s face flushed red, and she almost lost her temper.

Yang Ye had quite a headache. He didn’t know why but the two of them had been in constant conflict upon meeting each other. Yang Ye said in a low voice, “Miss Yin, just use my name.”

“Yes, Husband!” Yin Xuan’er cracked a smile, and it was indescribably charming.

Yang Ye was speechless.

“Shameless!” Lu Jianyao grunted.

…

“Mount Heavenshaker is the Treant Clan’s territory, and they are a branch of the demon race. However, they aren’t really like the demon race because they dislike battle. Besides that, they’re extremely hostile to humans. The treants would definitely join forces and attack any human that enters their territory. There are a few tens of thousands of Treants throughout the mountain, and there at least a few hundred which have lived for over a thousand years. Those at an age of over 1 thousand possess cultivations equivalent to human Exalt Realm experts!” said Yin Xuan’er.

“Why hasn’t the Exalted Han Empire conquered the Killer Crocodile and Treant clans?” asked Yang Ye.

“Because it isn’t worth it!” Yin Xuan’er smiled and said, “The Exalted Han Empire possesses such strength, but they won’t do that. Because the demon race is already extremely hostile to humans, so it’s utterly impossible for the Exalted Han Empire to subdue these two clans. Unless they use force to subdue them, but that would definitely cause them to suffer huge losses. Moreover, what was the point of subduing these two clans? They wouldn’t leave their territories at all.”

Yang Ye nodded and said, “You said that the Treat Clan is extremely hostile against humans, so how will we get past this place?”

“I’m good friends with the Junior Patriarch of the Treat Clan, so I’ll ask her to take us to the other side. But let me warn you in advance, my husband, you’re not allowed to set your sights on her,” said Yin Xuan’er.

Yang Ye felt speechless.

After Yang Ye guaranteed that he wouldn’t set his sights on her friend, Yin Xuan’er finally withdrew a jade green bamboo flute, and then a clear and melodious tune drifted off slowly into the distance.

However, there was no movement from within the mountain after around 10 minutes pa.s.sed.

Yin Xuan’er withdrew the flute again and played it again, but there was still no movement after another 10 minutes pa.s.sed.

“Something might have happened!” Yin Xuan’er said in a low voice, “Jin Sha, take Po Kong and Po Xing over to have a look.”

The three of them received their orders and flashed ahead.

Yang Ye looked up into the clouds, and then he frowned because he noticed that the silver eagle wasn’t able to observe the situation on the mountain at all.

Yin Xuan’er raised her head and glanced over before she smiled. “I never expected that you would even be able to get a member of the Exalted Han Empire’s Heavenly Net, but don’t waste your energy. Mount Heavenshaker is covered by a natural formation, and that little eagle won’t be able to observe the situation on the mountain while that formation is there.”

A natural formation?So that’s why! Yang Ye shot his gaze towards the mountain and said, “If I’m not wrong, then something has probably occurred in there. Because I saw fluctuations of energy all around the mountain. Let’s head in.”

“Let’s wait for a while!” Yin Xuan’er said, “Let’s wait for Jin Sha and the others. If nothing has happened within the Treant Clan and we were to enter rashly, then they’ll definitely attack us.”

Yang Ye pondered deeply for a moment before he nodded and said, “Alright!”

An hour later, Jin Sha, Po Kong, and Po Xing appeared before them, but both Po Kong and Po Xing were injured.

“What happened?” said Yin Xuan’er in a low voice.

“Princess, the treants are killing each other!” Jin Sha said, “We noticed numerous corpses when we went in, and we continued searching in order to figure out what had happened. In the end, we noticed numerous members of the Treant Clan were killing each other. We were noticed right when we were about to withdraw from there, and they attacked us. Fortunately, we fled quickly, otherwise, we would have been surrounded there!”

“They are killing each other?” Yang Ye gazed at Yin Xuan’er.

Yin Xuan’er fell silent for a while before she said, “They should be fighting for power. Oh no, Shu Xin is in danger! Let’s head over there!”

“Princess!” Meanwhile, Jin Sha spoke anxiously. “We can’t go in there. We’ll definitely be surrounded and killed if we do. They aren’t just hostile towards humans now, they’re even hostile to us from the demon clans as well. We must think of a plan, otherwise, this little bit of strength would be utterly insufficient if we were to head in rashly!”

Yin Xuan’er stopped moving, and then she fell silent for a while before she said, “It isn’t unrealistic to think of mobilizing our forces now. Husband, do you have any ideas?” She looked towards Yang Ye while she finished speaking.
