Chapter 373 They Don't Want Me to Wither and Die
The main system remained silent, and Xue Tong's mind fell into a long silence.
It's like her hibernation period after each mission.
Outside, Tongtian Qingliu looked at Yan Chengxue and spoke:
"Did Kui Shengge send you?"
Yan Chengxue was certainly not sent by Kui Shengge, but the young man was now very willing to take advantage of his cheap master's influence in order to protect himself.
The young man bowed again to the woman in green before him.
"It was Senior Lei Kui who sent me to Siyaochuan to find you."
Zhu Qing nodded slightly, a look of understanding appearing in her emerald eyes.
The woman's tone carried a hint of confusion:
"Was the ambush and killing of the Lin family from the Upper Realm outside Yunchuan County also Kui Shengge's doing?"
Yan Chengxue spoke frankly, and the young man shook his head slightly, his tone tinged with helplessness:
"No, it's just that a few of us juniors wanted to kill them."
Surely the Demon Lord of Yandu in front of me can see through the demonic energy on Lin Shuang?
Zhu Qing smiled faintly: "Ignorance is bliss."
Do you know who you killed?
Wu Yijun raised his head, his tone firm and resounding:
"This junior knows that he is the pride of the Lin family in the upper realm."
Zhu Qing was somewhat surprised: "Knowing this, you still followed others in their nonsense."
Wu Yijun took a deep breath and spoke methodically:
“Senior, someone wants to kill me, so we have no choice but to fight back. Xue Lan is a friend of several of us, and Lin Shuang wants to kill her. We naturally cannot stand idly by.”
Zhu Qing nodded slightly, a hint of appreciation appearing in her eyes.
"Young people, let us be loyal and devoted to each other."
"Your friend is currently in the hands of some of my flower tree makers. I will send someone to find her."
The woman stretched out her hand towards the enormous, towering green willow tree in front of them:
"Young friends, please follow Zhu Qing to Qingliu Pavilion and wait for her."
With the Demon Lord speaking, Yan Chengxue and the others naturally dared not object and obediently followed the woman in green to the so-called Green Willow Pavilion.
On his way to Qingliu Pavilion, Xue Tongsheng thought dejectedly.
If Xue Lan comes back and finds her house has been robbed, I wonder if she'll be so angry she'll start cursing.
The so-called Green Willow Pavilion is actually a small secluded paradise within the main body of the Heavenly Green Willow, where many huge willow leaves float, each of which appears to be a world unto itself.
Zhu Qing arranged the group on a willow leaf, then slowly spoke to the empty space behind her:
"Go and call Tao He and the others over; the commotion has been going on for a while."
A cold female voice came from the air behind the woman, followed by a wisp of pale mist that left from behind her.
Hearing Zhu Qing's conversation with the person in the shadows, Xue Tong felt much more at ease.
It seems that Xue Lan will be fine.
It's like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
Zhu Qing looked at the young people in front of him, and then at Xue Lan, who was now in Tao He's hands. A smile slowly crept onto his lips.
The woman's voice was gentle yet tinged with amusement.
They are like superiors, but not rigid or harsh ones.
"Young friends, do you know the origin of the current situation in Yandu?"
Why did the envoys on the flowering tree split into two camps and secretly develop grudges?
Yan Chengxue frowned slightly.
It would be a lie to say I'm not curious, but it would be foolish to ask now.
The young man bowed slightly to Zhu Qing:
"This junior is ignorant and does not know."
Zhu Qing's eyes held a faint smile, and her words almost made Yan Chengxue deaf.
"I'm about to wither and die."
The amount of information contained in those six short words was so great that even Xue Tong's processor couldn't keep up.
After they slowly understood what Zhu Qing was talking about, astonishment appeared in their eyes.
Wu Yijun spoke first: "Are the great demons under your command fighting for the position of Lord of Yandu?"
Zhu Qing gently shook her head, her voice as soft as a breeze:
"Some of the children don't want me to wither away."
"The spirits of the plants and trees here are all my children..."
"Ten thousand years ago, in order to drive the demon race out of the Yuanming Realm, Kui Shengge and I chased the demon god all the way to this far south of the Yuanming Realm. He died, leaving behind only a remnant soul array, while I took root in Siyaochuan. Due to the limitations of the earth veins and my injuries, I can never leave this place."
"During my ten thousand years of growth, I have released some of the spiritual energy from my body, making it easier for the plants and trees of Siyaochuan to become spirits."
"Day after day, year after year, that's how Yandu came to be what it is today."
A hint of regret and sadness appeared in Zhu Qing's eyes, a look that Xue Tong had never seen before.
"But even the divine tree, the ancient demon lord, still had a day when its lifespan would end."
"The sun rises and the moon sets, day and night alternate. This is the natural order of this world."
"But among my flower tree envoys, there are still children who do not want me to wither and die."
When Tongtian Qingliu said this, her eyes were kind and her tone was so gentle that it sounded like a mother who was somewhat helpless with her child.
But within this helplessness lies a resolute determination that others cannot perceive.
“Senior, this is a critical moment when Yuanming is descending to the mortal realm to resist the demons. If something happens to Yandu now…”
Lin Su was a very straightforward person, and the young man spoke with great anxiety. He was lightly slapped by Yan Chengxue beside him.
Zhu Qing looked at Lin Su, her beautiful emerald eyes slightly narrowed:
"Young friend, there is no need to worry at this time. There is no tree in this world that has ever withered and died."
The woman in green smiled faintly:
"Now we're just waiting for your friend to be found."
In the Sea of Wood of Yandu, He Yaocai looked at the blue puppet blocking Xue Lan's way, her eyes flickering slightly.
“The aura of the Lord, this is the Azure Puppet Mother of the War Puppet Palace.”
A cold, scrutinizing gaze appeared in He Yaocai's beautiful eyes.
"Who are you exactly?"
Xue Lan slowly straightened up, revealing a bright smile.
The woman smiled and said:
"Naturally, it was borrowed from the War Puppet Mansion."
"My sisters brought me to this Lianmu Sea, surely not to beat me up, right?"
The little girl in the purple dress walked up to Xue Lan with a satisfied smile on her lips.
Xue Lan and she stared at each other, neither willing to give in.
When Xue Lan made his move, he examined the backgrounds of all six people present.
The little girl in the purple dress in front of him who was asking the question was Iris, and the woman in white who had been tricked by him earlier was White Lotus.
The other two are honeysuckle and mimosa tree.
"You're a smart person, but you're a bit too cunning."
He Yaocai looked at Xue Lan, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
The woman slowly extended her hand to Xue Lan: "May I borrow your divine weapon that can guide souls?"
Xue Lan's smile immediately vanished:
"Could it be that you sisters have spies planted throughout Siyaochuan? You even know this."
The little girl with the iris flower used her aura to suppress Xue Lan, causing the woman in black to buckle in her knees and kneel on the ground.
"I'll give you 100,000 high-grade spirit stones afterward."
Xue Lan was momentarily moved, but quickly regained her composure.
The woman lowered her head slightly, her voice hoarse:
"What if Lord Aoyagi is simply tired and wants to die?"
"I'm afraid you all can't stop them, can you?"
