“Haha. Looks like you actually know about our existence, huh…”

At the door of the large hall, the black-robed leader raised his head up, revealing a pale, yet youthful, face. Looking towards Mu Chen’s group, he subsequently turned his gaze to sweep across the interior of the large hall, before saying with a faint smile, “It should be the group from the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy that had told you about us, right?”

“So it’s truly was you guys that were secretly taking action.”

Mu Chen said with a faint wrinkle on his forehead. “Where exactly do you come from?”

“Oh, we’re the group that hails from the Wood Spiritual Academy. Haha. Our Wood Spiritual Academy isn’t as famous as your five Great Academies,” replied the pale-faced youth with a smile.

“Wood Spiritual Academy?” Mu Chen frowned. True, he had not heard of such a Spiritual Academy before.

“What connection does it have to your Wood Spirit Clan? Tang Mei’er said that you’re seemingly able to control the demonic trees. That’s similar to what you might expect of the methods the Wood Spirit Clan would employ,” said Luo Li as she walked towards Mu Chen’s side, chilling intent surfacing within her beautiful eyes as she looked towards the mysterious group before her.

Upon hearing those words, the pale-faced youth shot a somewhat astonished look towards Luo Li, before saying with a smile. “I never imagined that there would still be such a knowledgeable person here that can even understand the ways of our Wood Spirit Clan. Look’s like you’re also not simple, huh.”

With a smile, Mu Chen said, “I don’t know why you’ve suddenly come knocking. Are you guys planning to change your targets to deal with us?”

Giving a faint smile, the eyes of the pale-faced youth faintly sparkled as he fluttered his gaze over towards the Divine Spiritual Tree. In the next moment, his gaze slightly drifted away as he shot a look at the greenish wood statue that Mu Chen and Luo Li had dealt with. With a grin, he said, “I don’t wish to take action and go into a huge brawl with you guys. However, we’re quite interested in that Divine Spiritual Tree. Since you guys have taken the Divine Spiritual Fruits, why not leave the Divine Spiritual Tree to us and let everyone have a peaceful conclusion? How about that?”

Focusing his black pupils on him, Mu Chen slowly shook his head, before saying with a faint smile, “I’m sorry, but I refuse.”

This Divine Spiritual Tree was found by them. Therefore, he had no plan of handing it over.

“Oh really? That’s truly a pity, then.”

The pale-faced youth gave a soft sigh. In the next instant, a chillingly sinister shadow gushed from his eyes as he said, “Looks like we’ll be forced to kill you guys first, then.”

Swish!

Seemingly at the instant when his voice rang out, his figure had already shot forward as he thrust a palm out. Boundless green Spiritual Energy howled out, transforming into a palmprint seemingly made of withered wood that patted towards Mu Chen with extreme fierceness.

At the same moment, his four compatriots standing behind him had also instantly took action; tree spikes laced with poisonous toxins left remnant shadows in the air as they hurtled and enveloped Luo Li, Xu Huang and the others at lightning speed.

Upon taking action, this group of people had all unleashed exceedingly vicious moves, completely not showing one single shred of mercy.

Mu Chen had long held caution and vigilance against this group of people. Therefore, upon seeing that youth take action, a sneer flashed across his eyes as he tightly clenched his hand to form a fist. Instantly, his Lightning God’s Physique was activated as black lightning gushed out, while his fist smashed head-on against the withered wood-like palmprint coming from the youth.

Bang!

Rampant Spiritual Energy shock waves swept out, causing cracks and fissures to appear on the ground within the large hall.

Palm winds swept out as the figure of the youth did a revolution, transforming into a gale. With a clench of his hand, a long black spear appeared from within. As a tremble shook through his arm, the long spear thrust out akin to a poisonous snake, bringing along remnant shadows that lunged towards the vital points on Mu Chen’s body. Black liquid trembled at the tip of the spear, clearly showing that it was laced with poisonous toxins.

“Hmph!”

Mu Chen gave a cold snort, as the Devouring Dragon Spear appeared in a flash. As the ominous aura radiated out, it transformed into a multitude of spear shadoes, hiding the skies and covering the earth as they swept out.

Ding! Ding!

Like bolts of lightning, the spear tips made contact with each other, causing exceedingly rampant Spiritual Energy fluctuations to sweep out with each confrontation, compressing and exploding apart the surrounding air. As layer after layer of compressed air exploded, they caused increasingly dense cracks and fissures to appear on the surface of the ground.

Whoosh!

Yet another collision between the spear tips caused a flash of brilliance to appear within the eyes of the youth. With a tremble of his sleeve, a black ray of light flashed out, transforming into a vine, instantly wrapping around the trunk of the Divine Spiritual Tree behind Mu Chen.

A chilling glint flashed within Mu Chen’s eyes as his long spear brought along a bit of the same chilling glint as it wrapped around the vine. With a swishing gale, it broke the vine apart. At the same moment, the figure of the youth had followed along the gale as he shot towards the right. Nevertheless, at the instant when he shot out, a ridiculing smile surfaced at the corner of his mouth.
