Starting from the martial arts world, Gan became a true master of martial arts.

Chapter 315 Ancient Tree, Years of Trees

Walking along the palace gate, a corridor soon appeared in front of us. The corridor was very deep and extended into the depths of darkness.

Fang Xuan walked in the corridor at a moderate pace, and his footsteps echoed in the silent space.

The corridor seemed to be another space, and the water in the Qingtan Lake did not seep in from the outside.

After walking for more than ten seconds, plant roots appeared on the walls on both sides of the corridor. They densely covered the walls and kept wriggling driven by some force.

"Woo~~"

Suddenly, from the darkness ahead came a creepy crying sound, like sobbing and complaining.

After walking for a while following the sound, the view in front of Fang Xuan suddenly opened up. A huge cave appeared in front of him. In the center of the cave was a huge and thick tree trunk. Dense branches meandered out from the trunk, broke through the top of the cave, and grew outwards.

The branches were blooming with colorful lights, and the spots of light were like fireflies, surrounding the entire huge and thick branches.

At the base of this thick trunk, the roots are intertwined and entangled with a giant.

The giant seemed to have grown together with the entire tree trunk. As Fang Xuan entered, white branches actually swayed on the giant's body.

Fang Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and the golden lines around his pupils continued to spread, trying his best to explore the environment of the entire cave.

"help me!"

Suddenly, a heart-wrenching cry for help came from the giant's body, and then the branches in the giant's abdomen slowly dispersed, revealing pale human faces, all of whom were shouting heart-wrenchingly.

The dense branches kept shaking above these pale faces, making one's scalp tingle.

Fang Xuan, who was calm inside, swallowed subconsciously at this moment.

At this time, a hoarse and vicissitudes voice sounded:

"This is the first time in so many years that a creature with such strong Qi and blood has come here."

Along with these words, the noisy sounds suddenly stopped, and all the swaying branches around suddenly shrank back.

"Who?"

Fang Xuan's mind instantly became highly concentrated, and his red royal pupils also quickly condensed in an instant, trying to find the source of the voice.

"Me? Just a tree."

The voice contained a sense of helplessness, and then an ugly human face appeared on the huge tree trunk. However, compared with those pale human faces, this human face combined with the bark looked particularly weird.

Fang Xuan looked at the face and frowned, his right hand silently grasping the hilt of Mo Yuan's knife.

In these nine states, this was the first time that Fang Xuan encountered a monster that could speak, and it was a tree monster.

"Don't worry, no one can kill me now, otherwise I would have killed myself long ago."

Tree Face actually made a helpless expression, sighed, and slowly moved his eyes away from Fang Xuan.

Fang Xuan did not let down his guard, and tried his best to think about what had happened.

After a moment, before Fang Xuan could speak, Tree Face spoke first: "You are here to look for Sui Mu, right?"

"How do you know?" Fang Xuan was a little surprised. Was his intention so obvious?
The tree face laughed dryly, "You have a very powerful evil spirit. Although it has been contained by some ancient formation, it is still constantly eating away at your mind. As far as I know, in the Nine Provinces, only Sui Mu can extract such a powerful evil spirit."

Fang Xuan nodded, "You are right, I am here for Sui Mu."

After saying this, Fang Xuan looked at the tree quietly, waiting for the other party's reaction.

"Kill me and Suimu will be yours."

Fang Xuan blurted out, "Tell me why?"

"Because my true form is that half of the old tree!" The human face on the tree trunk sighed, "Yun Palace used a secret method to transplant half of the old tree, but the price of that secret method is that it needs to be nurtured by the blood of living beings.

And I, who have accommodated too many souls, have slowly developed this spiritual wisdom after accepting the will of so many living beings. However, in the past hundred years, the Yun Palace has sent too many demons into this place, and the evil spirits on them have slowly corroded my soul.

I have carried too much hatred and resentment, so I have been waiting for someone to end this mistake for me."

Is this the secret history of Yun Palace?
Fang Xuan's eyes flickered slightly, but he did not give an answer.

The human face on the tree trunk smiled bitterly: "Doesn't it sound ironic? The Sui Mu that can purify all evil spirits in the world is finally devoured by the evil spirits!" "What should I do?" Fang Xuan asked.

"There is a miniature formation on the wall a hundred meters behind you. My heart is suppressed in that formation. Use the long sword in your hand to pierce the formation, and all the sins will be dissipated." After the tree spirit finished speaking, he slowly said:
"After this, my true form will appear, and you can use it to purify the evil spirit. However, this place will collapse completely, and you don't have much time left."

Fang Xuan did not act immediately, but continued to look at the giant tree quietly.

At this moment, an extremely powerful aura suddenly appeared from behind Fang Xuan.

After Fang Xuan dodged, two figures slowly appeared in the corridor he came from, stepping on the light.

A man pushed a wheelchair and slowly appeared in the cave.

Fang Xuan suddenly felt like he was facing a formidable enemy. He narrowed his eyes slightly and prepared himself to fight at any time.

The people who came were the Palace Master of Yun Palace and the Supreme Elder of Yun Palace, Qian Yue.

"Boy, this Cloud Palace is not a place where a warrior of the fifth level can run wild like a thief like you. Do you really think that I won't dare to kill you just because there is a martial arts temple behind you?"

The Palace Master of the Yun Palace looked at Fang Xuan coldly, with a terrifying power looming from his body.

Fang Xuan sneered, "Who would have thought that the Sui Mu of the Yun Palace would be preserved by such evil means. Is this still the Yun Palace that is revered as a holy place by Jiuzhou?"

As they spoke, the atmosphere in the entire cave suddenly became tense.

The face on the tree trunk hurriedly urged: "Boy, quickly destroy the formation. If we join forces, we won't be afraid of him."

Fang Xuan leaned to the left, suddenly stared at the face on the tree trunk, and said word by word:

"You are lying to me. If my guess is correct, the formation is used to suppress you."

At this moment, the face of the person on the tree trunk suddenly changed.

When Fang Xuan saw this, he knew that his guess was correct. Perhaps the real Sui Mu's mind had already been eroded by the evil spirits.

If the formation is destroyed, it will not save the mistake, but will make the same mistake again.

Seeing Fang Xuan like this, the murderous intent of the Palace Master of Yun Palace towards Fang Xuan suddenly weakened a lot.

He looked at the giant tree emitting colorful light with complicated eyes, and slowly said: "Fang Xuan, you leave here. As long as you promise not to tell anyone about the things here, I can pretend that none of this happened."

Looking at the serious gaze of the Palace Master of Yun Palace, Fang Xuan fell silent again.

The fact that the other party could clearly call out his name meant that his disguise had already been seen through.

Under the gaze of the Palace Master of the Cloud Palace, Fang Xuan slowly held the Mo Yuan in his hand in front of him, his eyes firm: "Palace Master, I need Sui Mu."

One sentence and one action fully demonstrated Fang Xuan's attitude.

At this time, the Lord of the Cloud Palace and the tree spirit had not yet reacted.

In just a moment, Fang Xuan seemed to have become a different person, and a strong murderous aura instantly swept across the entire cave.

Fang Xuan also attacked with a bang, and Mo Yuan in his hand slashed out a powerful light wave through the air.

boom--! ! !
A loud bang resounded directly above the giant tree, and the debris in the sky completely submerged half of the giant tree.

Both the Palace Master of Yun Palace and Qian Yue were surprised. They did not expect Fang Xuan to attack the giant tree, and to do so decisively.

"Hey, I can't even bewitch a young boy!"

At the same time, a soft sigh slowly sounded in the cave.

As the debris from the sky slowly fell, an old man in a white robe stood in front of the giant tree.

It was the old man who had instructed Fang Xuan twice, but compared to before, there was an evil aura about the old man this time.

The Palace Master of Yun Palace and Qian Yue were also quite surprised when they saw the old man.

"Han Quan, the traitor in Yun Palace, it turns out to be you!"

The old man smiled calmly and looked at the Palace Master of the Yun Palace with some amusement: "Oh? Yun Jingxuan, compared to a hundred years ago, your eyesight has improved!"
