Royal Dragon and Phoenix transmigrate to Earth

The light spread only inside the formation they had created around them as outside it was still the same pitch-black darkness, which clearly proved Tianlong Yun's theory.

The pressure inside this forest was just too heavy for the light particles to appear, but as soon as one removed the pressure then at least the light turned to normal.

Finally having the opportunity to look around this place and what he hadn't been able to see with his own eyes what was around him.

Just like he had 'seen' through his spirit sense though the place looked really desolate, as there wasn't even a blade of grass on the ground, it was only soil and trees.

There wasn't any kind of smell, bugs, or insects in this place that seemed to be devoid of life. Still, it wasn't that weird for Tianlong Yun as he had seen worse.

It was at this time that his gaze finally fell on those strange trees around him, they seemed like some grey trunks, having only branches and no leaves.

They were tall about twice his height, just enough to be inside their Soul severing formation, as their thickness seemed like that of pine.

As a matter of fact, Tianlong Yun thought for a moment that it looked like some kind of skinny and unfed soldier.

But now wasn't the time to be amazed by the view, or what was around him, as he immediately made a sign and the left team of 10 jumped to cut this thing by the roots.

Just as they jumped forward though the stagnant-looking tree, moved ten of its branches towards its attackers, clearly startling them.

They already knew what kind of trouble and problem these trees meant and it wasn't that they didn't believe Tianlong Yun's words, it was just like they said, seeing is believing.

Even though the tree's counterattack was truly unexpected and sudden, they weren't soft persimmons either, as they were all soldiers with bloodied hands.

As soon as they saw the retaliation, they took out their weapons and used them to block the branches, as their hands and feet were overflowing with Qi ready to attack the tree's trunk and roots.

The tree seemed to have understood that her counterattack hadn't been sufficient to deal with the threat as it used its remaining 13 branches to better protect itself and disrupt that stupid formation that had blinded it.

That seemed to the case as the tree seemed to act on its instincts and the danger that perceived, but still, its counterattack would have been more than effective.

It had been able to block the 10 disciples attacking it, and at the same time had sent three branches towards one of the disciples in the formation.

Tianlong Yun had to accept that this tree seemed rather wise, and able of thought, as it hadn't acted immediately as the formation was set, but when it felt the danger from the 10 disciples.

But there was no way that it would succeed as it already was at a numerous disadvantage, and there was another batch of 10 disciples that still hadn't moved to span the formation area.

Of course, these guys were there only to protect the formation users, and replace them in case it was needed, so those three branches were useless with them to present.

Three guarding disciples just threw themselves in front of the formation setters, and blocked those three branches, as the others raised their guard and paying more attention to their surroundings.

Tianlong Yun was just looking at their actions, and teamwork as it was extremely important. That was one of the key factors for them to survive this place, and find that inheritance.

At first, he had been disappointed with their arrogance and underestimation of the situation, but they were showing good results after.

The 10 attacking disciples showed extreme swiftness, as 5 of them took the front to act like tanks blocking the branches, while the other 5 passed through the weak spots to make clean hits.

Things weren't over yet though, as the moment they enclosed less than half a meter from the tree, three arm thick roots broke the soil and headed to meet the attacks of the five enemies coming for its life.

Once again the five of them were parted into two smaller groups, as 3 took the charge to block those roots, while the remaining 2 went for the kill.

This time the tree seemed to have exhausted all her possibilities, as there was nothing it could use to defend itself, and could only feel two sharp swords cut her trunk in two pieces.

Even though its last line of defense her husk was sturdy and should be able to at least ensure her safety against one of these attacks, the light and the removal of pressure seemed to have weakened it a lot.

But as soon as the tree seemed to have felt the sword cutting through its trunk, a big wailing, and screechy noise was heard from her roots.

"Waaaaahhhhh~!"

It was like the voice of some kid crying out loud after being hurt. This clearly startled everyone at the scene including Tianlong Yun himself, as he had never expected something like this.

But this wasn't the time to get startled and stay there surprised, as he immediately acted, surpassing his disciples quickly, and then heading towards the source of that wail like some hawk, or eagle for its food.

His action was swift and elegant, as almost in an instant he appeared in front of its target, and used his hands like claws to hunt it down.

The next moment he took his hand out of the ground, as he pulled out some extremely ugly looking ginseng-like little creature.

That small ugly thing was writhing in his hands, trying to break free and escape, but Tianlong Yun's claw seemed to be squeezing it relentlessly without any kind of open little space.

Understanding that it didn't have any way of escaping that little ugly thing started wailing and screeching louder, as that was all it could do, it seemed like it was asking some kind of help.

At first, Tianlong Yun was just pissed of with this little shit, and its loud wailing sound, as he was trying to figure out what it was, but the next moment he understood that it was a big mistake to allow it to wail.

Just like he had concluded earlier, this little shit's wail was a kind of distress signal that warned and alarmed the others, as the next moment he sensed all the other trees head towards them ready for a fight.

Damn! He should have been more careful about it, and not allow something like this to happen, but things had come to this, as he was faced with a tough decision at the moment.

He should either proceed according to his plan bringing everyone outside and have a frontal war with all these approaching trees or escape inside Old Pouch with the disciples.

It didn't take him long to decide though as with one thought he covered all the disciples, the trunk, and the roots of the tree and entered inside the Old Pouch.

While he was confident of having a good fight with the trees, and also escape if things went south, but right now he was more concerned about the ugly thing he had on his hands.

Furthermore, he didn't have a deadline or some kind of pressing matter to end with this as soon as he could. In fact, he could take all the time he needed and wanted.

He had total confidence in his women to deal with the situation inside the Fortress City, and make the right decisions.

Not to mention that he had left behind Jiang Bo and that little Tiger girl for any emergency that might arise.

With these thoughts in mind, he reappeared inside the Old Pouch under the surprised gazes of his disciples, as they could still go on, but none of them sounded to protest.

To them Tianlong Yun's words and decisions were unquestionable, whoever tried to question them would be faced with severe punishment.

Tianlong Yun didn't give them an explanation either, as this could be also counted as a little test for them.

But now wasn't the time to think about them, as the little ugly thing on his hands seemed to have stopped wailing for a moment when they had arrived, but now was clearly wailing louder.

Its disgusting bronze-colored face was slowly turning beet red, and then a bit purplish. This little shit was breaking his limits because he couldn't feel his companions close to him probably.

Tianlong Yun would clearly not care about that wail, but it seemed that the wail was also some kind of soul attack, that he would have suffered if it weren't for his active defenses since he had been outside.

Too bad that the disciples weren't prepared for this, as they fell on their knees grabbing their heads with their hands.

They were feeling like their heads were exploding at that moment due to that loud sound, as even their conscience seas and their soul avatars were trembling nonstop.

It was like something was trying to destroy them and their souls, as with each moment they approached one step closer to the loss of their lives.

Understanding this, Tianlong Yun immediately used his soul power to condense into some kind of barrier around the little shit, blocking his soul attack.

But of course, that wasn't a permanent effect, and could only work for a short amount of time, so he needed to find a permanent solution…
