Chapter 242: Taking up the Position (1/2)
Mu Chunyang had called that Soul Formation cultivator his uncle because of this relationship. That was why the other party had accompanied him to find the evil tree and given such an achievement to him.
If they could help this nephew ascend to the position of the clan leader, their authority would naturally rise.
Usually, in front of outsiders, he would still address the other party as elder. Now, there was no need to be wary in private.
However, they did not expect their luck to be so good. Originally, they had only heard about the Medicine Garden Mystic Realm in the Great Mountain Region and planned to come and make a killing.
However, on the way, their auras attracted Elder Zuo Mo of Shu Mountain, who had turned into a puppet.
After easily dealing with the other party, they relied on the special methods of the Peach Forest's Mu Family to accidentally discover the evil tree aura on the other party's body.
Then, through his blood and the peach wood compass, they found this place.
Now it seemed that even heaven was helping Mu Chunyang!
The young man from the Mu family was already extremely excited. All he could think about was the scene of being respected by everyone after returning to the family.
They had never been worried about destroying the evil tree.
Ever since they were born, the education they received had always emphasized that their Mu family was the nemesis of the evil tree. The group leaders never thought that they would fail.
Moreover, in a remote place like the Great Mountain Region, even cultivators were so weak, so what powerful evil tree could they raise?
It was unknown if it was because they were brave or because they were too confident. They actually let the flying ship land on the water without investigating clearly.
This peach blossom flying ship was refined from an 800-year-old peach tree. It was a powerful artifact to begin with.
After landing on the water surface, the Mu family cast a spell technique. Peach blossoms immediately began to fall from the flying ship that was still full of vitality.
On the extended peachwood branches, peach blossoms grew one after another. The petals continuously fell and grew endlessly.
Some of these pink peach blossom petals spread out on the water surface, while others slowly sank to the bottom of the river, quickly enveloping the surrounding water.
Soon, the first flower petal landed lightly on the riverbed.
Gurgle~
A series of bubbles emerged from below, as if something was awakened by this peach blossom petal that was as light as a feather.
Pew!
Suddenly, a pale arm appeared from under the riverbed. It was a Yin Corpse that crawled out from the underwater graveyard below.
However, as soon as the Yin Corpse poked its head out, another petal landed on its head.
The seemingly beautiful flower petals suddenly exploded the moment they came into contact with the Yin Corpse.
The Yang qi on the peach blossom petals and the Yin qi on the Yin Corpse produced a huge reaction, directly exploding the head of the Yin Corpse.
These seemingly ordinary flower petals actually possessed might that surpassed ordinary talismans.
Moreover, with a casual shake of the peach tree branch, a large number of peach blossom petals could fall. This was much more practical and useful than talismans.
After this explosion, as if a fuse had been lit, more and more Yin Corpses crawled out from under the riverbed. They bared their fangs and brandished their claws as they swam up towards the Mu flying ship.
However, there were too many peach blossom petals falling from the river, they were too dense. Before these Yin Corpses could float to the surface, they were all shattered by the petals.
The Mu family indeed had their own methods to deal with the Nine Nether Wood.
The large number of Yin Corpses that made people flustered were easily dealt with by a pile of flower petals.
No matter how many Yin Corpses there were, it was not easy for a few of them to swim to the surface of the water. However, they still collided with the layer of peach blossoms on the surface of the water. In the end, it only dyed the water black again and did not cause them any trouble.
Soon, a large number of Yin Corpses had accumulated in the upper riverbed.
The existence below seemed to have realized that this was useless and stopped throwing Yin Corpses.
Then, a few even larger bubbles appeared, and an extremely dense Nine Nether spiritual qi surged out from under the riverbed.
Then, roots that were thick to the point of making people doubt themselves appeared from the ground.
These roots were wrapped in dense Yin qi. They ignored the peach blossom petals and swept towards the flying ship floating on the water like tentacles.
When faced with the underwater attack, the Mu family cultivators on the flying ship were still calm.
The eyes of the Mu family's Soul Formation cultivator lit up.
It was as if everything was under his control.
The peach blossom flying ship floating on the water also produced a large number of roots that wrapped around it in reverse.
”I've been waiting for you!”
The roots of the Nine Nether Wood were entangled before they could grab the flying ship. They began to shrink down like frightened tentacles.
The peach blossom flying ship also borrowed this force to quickly dive down. A layer of spiritual qi light membrane directly isolated the river water, allowing them to easily dive underwater.
That layer blocked the upper and lower layer of the water. Under the active pull of the Nine Nether Wood roots, it was finally broken through.
The underwater graveyard that had been hidden for an unknown period of time was exposed to the cultivators at long last.
”This is… a huge underwater space!”
”Hmph, no wonder no one discovered this evil tree after so long. It really knows how to find a place to hide!”
There were countless corpses below. Even the experienced and knowledgeable Mu cultivators could not help but be shocked.
”Oh? What are those?”
Soon, they noticed something else.
Cold ghost flames were floating towards them.
They were Ghost Lantern Fish that had discovered something new and came to watch.
They did not have any malice, but the Mu cultivators did not care.
In the territory of the evil tree, regardless of whether it was alive or dead, they were all enemies.
As soon as the spell technique was cast, countless peach blossoms continued to fall and spread throughout the water body of the underwater graveyard.
These Ghost Lantern Fish had been living in this underwater graveyard that was isolated from the world since ancient times.
They lived a carefree life without any natural enemies. Even relying on their racial talent, Ghost Lantern Cold Flame, they suppressed the Nine Nether Wood that appeared later.
For such a long time, they had been living a boring life of eating and sleeping.
The Ghost Lantern Fish was very talented. However, they were not demons and did not have cultivation. Because they ate a large number of ghosts all year round, their origin was not pure and it was very difficult to cultivate on their own. Therefore, the main body of the Ghost Lantern Fish was actually very weak.
These peach blossom petals that carried pure Yang qi spread out, and the Ghost Lantern Fish would be injured if they touched them.
The Ghost Lantern Fish had been living in comfort for too long. Their animal instincts like fear and escape had basically disappeared in their bodies.
Jiang Li, who still had a few Ghost Lantern Fish, knew this very well.
After the stable environment was broken, this kind of creature that lived in seclusion appeared especially weak.
They were extinguished one after another. The corpses of the Ghost Lantern Fish floated up with their stomachs turned, but they were blocked by the thermocline.
”Hmph, as expected, under my Mu family's Dao Technique, this evil tree's methods are all useless. They're not worth mentioning!”
”A few Yin Corpse Fish want to stop us? They're too naive.”
The attack of this Soul Formation cultivator was different. A large number of flower petals scattered down, directly killing the absolute endangered species in the current cultivation world until they were almost extinct.
”It seems that this evil tree no longer has any methods. Let us slay the demon now!”
The Mu family was still full of confidence. After their arrival, the evil tree launched a total of three attacks, but they easily resolved them.
