Chapter 135 - A Good Plan from the Demon Region
Chapter 135: A Good Plan from the Demon Region
??
Before everyone could figure out the reason, a strange movement came from not far away.
They saw Mei Qianmeng looking at the Divine Tree. Her pupils were suffused with a faint red light, and traces of the Blood Moon appeared on her smooth and fair forehead. She became incomparably demonic, like a soul-stealing banshee, making people unable to take their eyes off her.
The Blood Moon hung high in the sky, and everyone’s expressions became absent-minded, as if their souls had been sucked out. The Divine Tree was enveloped by the red light, and the entire tree began to tremble violently.
The intertwined branches began to move at this moment. Under the illumination of the demonic light, they had the urge to break out of the ground.
“Witch, don’t you dare!”
“The people of the Demon Region are too impudent. Could it be that they really want to start a war with our Righteous path?”
When everyone saw this scene, their eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Previously, it was not that no one had designs on the Divine Tree, but considering that the target was really too big, and if such a divine item was brought out, the other sects and factions would definitely not agree.
Taking a step back, even if they could bring it out, no one could guarantee that if the Divine Tree left the Primal Chaos Secret Realm, it would be able to survive. Hence, the safest method was to leave it in the Secret Realm, this was a thought that everyone understood.
The tea leaves were obtained by one’s own abilities, but if they were to touch the tree, it would only shake everyone’s most fundamental interests.
However, the people of the Demon Region wanted to break the rules. Mei Qianmeng wanted to monopolize it. They absolutely would not allow this to happen.
Mei Qianmeng did not take their threat seriously at all. Instead, she smiled and said, “Perhaps you guys still don’t understand your own situation. Do you think you can stop me?”
Everyone’s faces turned green and white. It was undeniable that Mei Qianmeng had come prepared. They really could not do anything in a short period of time.
“Demoness, don’t be too arrogant. When we leave the Secret Realm, we will definitely report this matter to the sects. At that time, your people from the Demon Region will be in big trouble!”
“You speak so grandly. To put it bluntly, aren’t you saying that you can’t beat us? Therefore, go and call those old fellows. You can call them however you want. My Demon Region will accompany you to the end.”
Her cherry lips were full and juicy, like a ripe cherry hanging on a tree. It made people want to taste it. However, the words she said almost angered them to death.
Just as the giant tree was shaking violently and everyone thought that Mei Qianmeng was going to succeed, the golden light gradually disappeared, and even the runes on the branches became faintly discernible.
The entire tree looked no different from an ordinary tree.
When the golden light completely disappeared, the Divine Tree also disappeared. Mei Qianmeng was dumbfounded, “How could this be?!”
Gu Xi, who was standing in the corner, saw everything. The few saplings he saw earlier were the true body of the Enlightenment Tree. The Divine Tree was just a trick to deceive the world, so it naturally would not exist for long.
Mei Qianmeng frowned and did not say anything. However, she saw a burst of spiritual light not far away. At the same time, there was a powerful pressure. The disciples behind her could not help but remind her, “Holy Maiden, there are others who are rushing over.”
They could only imprison these disciples for a while. If they waited for reinforcements, it would be a little difficult for them to escape unscathed.
The people of the Demon Region did not want to start a massacre here. Moreover, it was not the time for them to shed all pretense of cordiality. These disciples who had entered the Primal Chaos Secret Realm all had their connections outside. When the time came, the outside world would definitely know of the commotion if something really happened.
If all these disciples died, the people outside the Secret Realm would definitely take action. Even if they were extremely capable, it would be extremely difficult for them to leave at that time. It would prevent both sides from suffering heavy losses, mei Qianmeng would not make a move against these people.
“Forget it, let’s go.” Mei Qianmeng made a prompt decision. This trip was not completely fruitless. After all, she had obtained nearly half of the Enlightenment Tea leaves without any effort.
Mei Qianmeng had already retreated. Gu Xi also planned to slip away while the others were not paying attention. However, after walking for a distance, he felt a gaze spying on him. He was shocked, but his expression did not change, he wanted to quicken his pace and get rid of it.
The person behind the scenes had no intention of hiding.
“Little Brother, where are you planning to go?”
The red gauze fell in front of him, bringing with it a faint fragrance. His weak and boneless body clung to it like a water snake. Looking at the snow-white wrist in front of him, which seemed to be formed by frost and Snow, Gu Xi immediately stopped in his place.
He had been so careful, but he had never expected that Mei Qianmeng would actually target him!
Gu Xi did not want to be exposed. Moreover, he knew that the people of the Demon Region must have a hidden trump card. Otherwise, how could they break through the obstacles outside the Secret Realm and enter the Secret Realm?
“So it’s the Holy Maiden.”
Gu Xi’s attitude was neither servile nor humble, which aroused Mei Qianmeng’s interest. After all, ordinary Orthodox cultivators hated them very much, and they wanted nothing more than to do justice for the Heavens.
A powerful pressure came at her face, which was completely inconsistent with Mei Qianmeng’s image. Thinking of her methods, and that she even dared to challenge the Alchemy Emperor, Gu Xi did not dare to take it lightly.
To be able to become the Holy Maiden of the Demon Region at such a young age, one could imagine how extraordinary she was. Moreover, those people from the Demon Region were not easy to deal with. From this, it could be seen that Mei Qianmeng was a monster.
“You’re quite interesting, Kid. Your attitude is slightly different from others.”
