Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 541: Red Flame Ancient Tree
The 12 riders were divided into two riders, Feng Yu, Li Dongxu, plus Ye Shuo and Xu Yuan, riding with Qian Yuanzong's envoy, and the other six riders formed another team.The two eagle-shaped spirit beasts spread their wings and flew into the sky. In the eyes of the mercenaries who saw them off on the ground, they quickly turned into two small black dots and disappeared.

Along the way, Qiao Xiying talked a lot, besides praising Mo Gucheng to the sky and the earth, she was picky with Ye Shuo, and she barely pushed him off the eagle's back.Ye Shuo also gave full play to his good self-cultivation and ignored him completely.

Apart from occasionally scolding them when they made too much noise, Lu Hongyu really didn't notice it.

As for the task discussion this time, Qiao Xiying even excluded Ye Shuo and Xu Yuan from the whole process.Even when passing information to the other team, in order to prevent the two from eavesdropping, they only communicated in text messages.Seeing that they did this deliberately, Feng Yu and Li Dongxu naturally wouldn't remind Ye Shuo anything.

On the way, Xu Yuan complained to Ye Shuo in a low voice, that Qiao Xiying's strength is only at the strength level, and Lu Hongyu is only at the fifth stage of restraint, and their realm is not as good as yours, so why are you so crazy?Ye Shuo didn't pick up on his provocative remarks.

No matter how weak the strength is, they still have a background, and they have the qualifications to be crazy.Of course, whether this kind of arrogance will bring them a fatal disaster one day in the future is not something I need to consider.

The flying speed of the eagle beast was very fast, but most of the morning, the group had already left Tianji country.

On the way, I also encountered many teams riding various spirit beasts, and they also seemed to be aiming at Chiyan Guguo.With the intention of getting rid of several competitors first, he drove the spirit beasts to approach them one after another.But after seeing the Qianyuanzong crest embroidered on the front of Lu Hongyu and his clothes, they both apologized and left in a hurry.This is the case for successive batches of teams.

Qiao Xiying was so happy from ear to ear: "Ha, it seems that the name Gucheng is really useful!" The lover in the dream is a hero that everyone admires, and it is the greatest pride for these Huaichun girls. .However, while she was praising Mo Gucheng, she still kept one eye on Ye Shuo: "What are you humming, aren't you convinced?"

"I just feel that if a sect's reputation can only be supported by a single disciple, that would be really sad." Ye Shuo replied flatly.

Qiao Xiying stared angrily, but soon she seemed to think of something, folded her arms, and said with a long smile: "Oh, this is really sour. When your own name is enough to support a sect Let's talk again!"

The eagle beast passed through the thick stratus clouds, and an ancient city below was already visible in the distance.

"Stop here for a while." Lu Hongyu motioned to Feng Yu, "This time the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau will send out a few disciples to accompany us, and my junior sister and I will go down to meet them. Hurry up, stay here, and don't mess around in the city. went shopping."

Feng Yu manipulated the Eagle Beast and stopped on a small sand dune not far from the ancient city.Qiao Xiying jumped down briskly, followed by Lu Hongyu.As soon as the two left, Xu Yuan felt as if someone had taken off the collar around his neck, and immediately began to breathe heavily.Seeing that impatient look, Li Dongxu burst out laughing.

"Hey, who is the Mogu City they kept talking about all the way?" After Xu Yuan confirmed that the two of them had gone far away, he couldn't help asking Feng Yu with a gossiping expression.

Feng Yu also cooperated and lowered his voice: "He is the top genius of the Qianyuan Sect for hundreds of years. Not only has the Zongmen Grand Competition always been No.1, he has never lost even in the sparring matches with other sects. Any match! It is simply an undefeated myth!"

"Is it true that you haven't lost even once?" Xu Yuan's eyes widened.

"I didn't even use my full strength!" Feng Yu became more and more excited as he spoke, "It is said that the most sensational match at the time was the number one master of the younger generation of Xueyuntang, a super strong player who had never been defeated before, He also lost to Mo Gucheng in the game, and the loss was without any suspense! He was a figure in the altar of Qianyuanzong, and it is not so easy for ordinary people to meet him. Just talk about me, After serving Qian Yuanzong for so many years, I haven't seen him once."

Ignoring Xu Yuan's instant booing, he turned his head again and said seriously: "So Ye Shuo, you can get Mo Gucheng to personally order you to deal with you. If this gets out, it will be a great honor."

Ye Shuo scoffed at this.What absurd logic this is!

However, the undefeated myth?This is just right, I like to thwart those "undefeated myths" the most.At the beginning, Mo Liangcheng also had the myth of being undefeated in the Dingtian Mountain Range. In the end, he was still defeated by his own hands...

Lu Hongyu and a few well-dressed Escort disciples rushed over together, but Qiao Xiying was nowhere to be seen in the group.

"Why, didn't you say reunion? Where's your junior sister?" Xu Yuan became interested, "Oh, did she go back?"

Lu Hongyu smiled wryly: "She went shopping, and she said she would bring a gift to Senior Brother Gucheng." He probably thought that he was the one who ordered Ye Shuo and others not to hang out, but now his fellow apprentices took the lead in violating it, which made him feel a little embarrassed start.After a long while, I added another sentence: "My junior sister, I can't control her. Usually in the sect, she is the only one who can listen to what Senior Brother Gucheng says."

Xu Yuan coughed twice, and his earnest expression was magnified a hundred times: "This is not allowed! As the saying goes, there is no rule, no circle. When she comes back, you must make good rules for her. Feng Brother, do you think so?"

Feng Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "...what does it matter to me?"

Everyone waited on the eagle's back for about half an hour before Qiao Xiying slowly returned to the team with big bags and small bags on her shoulders.

Starting again, even in the sky, Qiao Xiying was still fiddling with her gift boxes, spreading them out one by one on the eagle's back, and sorting them into categories again.At this time, she seemed extremely careful, and she didn't even care about bickering with Ye Shuo.

"Senior Brother Hongyu, do you still remember that when everyone started crowdfunding for Young Master Liangcheng in the sect, they collected almost all the rare tonics they could find. Although the Mo family certainly does not lack this little money, it is also Our heart, but Senior Brother Gucheng doesn't want it.

I thought about it, if I gave him a gift that was too precious, he would definitely not accept it, and if I gave it a gift that was too ordinary, it would not show my sincerity.In the end, I thought that the gift should be sent to the real place, so why not just buy supplements and give it to Young Master Liangcheng. When Brother Gucheng hears about it in the future, he will definitely accept my love. "

Lu Hongyu's body swayed with the bumps of the eagle beast, and he said indifferently: "Brother Gucheng has always disliked others interfering with his family affairs, so be careful, don't flatter the horse's feet."

Ye Shuo snorted coldly, and said in his heart: "Yes, Mo Gucheng is a big unfilial son. In order not to damage the image I have worked so hard to build among you brothers and sisters, I naturally avoided it if I could."

Along the way, although there were obstructions from forces along the way and Qiao Xiying's negligence, everyone finally arrived at Beijing Country in the evening.And their team has also expanded to a small team of dozens of people.

On the Manghuang plateau, the location of the Chiyan ancient tree can be seen almost at a glance.At this time, under the ancient tree, the inner three floors and the outer three floors were completely surrounded. This group of people had different costumes, and their positions were deliberately separated by camps, but they did not want to be too far away from the ancient tree.On the surface, it is a scene of warm greetings, but when the competition comes together, it is expected that they will only see each other.

Ye Shuo is also taking advantage of this time to carefully look at the ancient Chiyan tree.

This is a huge blood-red tree with a canopy reaching up to the sky, casting a cool shade like blood.There are clusters of the same blood-red fruits on the branches. They are huge and have sharp thorns on the skin. Probably only those monsters with rough skin and thick flesh can swallow them in one gulp.

On the surface of the tree trunk... Ye Shuo frowned tightly.Due to the blockage of information, he now knows nothing about the Chiyan ancient tree, and he doesn't know if it is because of the illusion of his eyes, he always feels that there seems to be fresh blood flowing on the trunk.And the source of the blood...Ye Shuo raised his head and looked up, but it was the hideous ancient red flame fruits.

In the meandering of the bloody water, the devilish energy contained in the ancient tree is also gradually deepening.It was as if this tree was not a dead thing, but a tree-shaped spirit!
This phenomenon was weird, and Ye Shuo didn't dare to raise his hand to touch it rashly.What's more, the others were still exchanging warm greetings, as if they didn't notice the strange state of the ancient tree at all, Ye Shuo could only keep his doubts in his heart.At the same time, he secretly released his soul power, trying to penetrate into the interior of the ancient tree, and carefully searched among the fine grains inch by inch.

After a while, the confusion on Ye Shuo's face deepened.

The holy tree of the demon race thousands of years ago, with his current strength, he probably can't detect anything. Ye Shuo had already prepared for this.But what really surprised him was that during the soul detection, he sensed two completely opposite states.

One is the original repulsive power of the ancient tree, and the other is echoing with his soul, accepting him and calling him.But the power of acceptance was far weaker than the power of repulsion, Ye Shuo still couldn't detect it for a while.

If it hadn't been for an extremely subtle fluctuation in his soul when he scanned a certain part of the branch, Ye Shuo would almost suspect that everything was just his illusion.

Beside him, people from other forces finally began to notice them, and came forward to say hello in groups.

"You Qianyuanzong people, this time it's really long overdue. Why, didn't Mo Gucheng come?"

Before Lu Hongyu could answer, Qiao Xiying rushed to answer: "This kind of small task, of course, does not require Senior Brother Gucheng to come in person!" The sense of superiority in the words once again overwhelmed the audience.

The person on the opposite side smiled awkwardly, and replied: "It's true. Who doesn't know that brother Gucheng is the most powerful candidate for the new promotion of Tiangongmen this time, so naturally he wants to be good at cultivation." Then, there was another round Surrounding Mo Gucheng's fearful remarks, Ye Shuo's ears could almost hear cocoons all the way.

Some people were more cautious, looked around, and asked suspiciously: "We have been here for so long, why haven't we even seen a shadow of a monster? Are they all hiding in the dark, waiting to pick up a ready-made bargain?"

Another person laughed and said, "Knowing that the Six Royal Demon Lords may appear, are they still looking for death?"

Another person said with a cold face: "Don't say it so easily, if the Six Royal Demon Lords really appeared, wouldn't you be afraid?"

These opposing forces that were supposed to fight to the death for the treasure as soon as they met, are now worried that the Six Royal Demon Lords will appear at some time. If they are exhausted here, they may not even have the strength to escape.Therefore, this false peace has been maintained longer than everyone imagined.

"Hey, the ancient Chiyan fruit is right in front of you, and it looks like it's ripe. Since no one else takes it, why do we have to waste time with them? If we wait any longer, the six princes will come. Let's Pick it first!" Xu Yuan said, and immediately jumped up, raised his hand to grab a crimson fruit on top of his head.

Maybe it was the ancient tree that instinctively made him feel dangerous, maybe it was because no one else moved, or maybe there were other plots. At this moment, a sense of ominous premonition flashed across Ye Shuo's heart. Just as he wanted to stop it, Xu Yuan's hand had already grabbed it. Chiyan ancient fruit.

Then Ye Shuo saw with his eyes that the skin of the ancient fruit suddenly cracked a huge gap, dripping juice spilled out, as if opening his bloody mouth, and directly swallowed half of Xu Yuan's head.

Under the tree, everyone could only see Xu Yuan struggling violently, his legs kicking wildly in horror, but his body was being sucked in continuously, and there were fewer and fewer parts exposed to the outside world.In just a few blinks, he completely disappeared, and the cracks in the ancient fruit closed again, returning to normal again.It's just that the color of the blood flowing on the tree trunk seems to be more intense.

"Xuyuan!!" Ye Shuo shouted loudly, his eyes cracked.But also witnessing this scene happening, the others all looked as expected, and there was even a bit of mockery of "self-inflicted evil".

"Brothers, let me tell you, do you really not know or are you pretending not to know?" A middle-aged man with a short beard couldn't see it and said, "If you want to pick the ancient red flame fruit, you have to wait until the blood color on the surface of the ancient tree decreases. At the darkest time, go through the space channel and enter the interior of the ancient tree to pick. If you pick it directly from the outside, it will be swallowed by the ancient fruit just like just now. Otherwise, you think we have been here for so long, why are we waiting so stupidly? Here?"

"What?!" Surprised and angry, Ye Shuo immediately turned his head and glared at the two Qianyuanzong envoys.This should be the basic information about the ancient Chiyan tree. It is because these two people did not tell him anything along the way that Xu Yuan suffered such a catastrophe without knowing anything...

"Why are you glaring at us?" Qiao Xiying really didn't hear the information revealed by the middle-aged man for the first time, but at this moment she snorted coldly, "What does your lack of information have to do with us? Besides Oh, did we force him to pick it just now? Was it because he was impulsive, thinking that he was the only one who was smart and everyone else was stupid, so who is to blame? It deserves it!"

"You..." Ye Shuo clenched his fists fiercely, trying to restrain the urge to slap her.Turning his head to look at the tall old tree, he suddenly raised a palm and pressed it tightly against the tree trunk.

Sure enough, a powerful suction erupted from the inside of the ancient tree, directly swallowing him in.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, acting powerless against his death-seeking behavior.

But immediately after, the relief on everyone's faces was replaced by a touch of real panic.

At the same time, they sensed that the riot in that ancient tree... hadn't ended there!
