Even if he usually hunted monsters to earn food money, he would always fish from behind. Most of the time, Tomoyo would sweep the place by himself.

This time it can be said that Iron Sword makes a rare appearance.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but He Youzhou felt that the sword trembled happily.

Forget about trembling, why does he think he is trembling happily?

He thought he might have been delusional because he was tired after playing for several days in a row.

"No, we have to go find Zhishi and Youlan." If He Youzhou wanted to run, he had to take his disciples with him.

What kind of master is he just running away alone?He is determined to be a good and responsible master.

"Well...the scope of these mountains is all the evil intention of Heaven." He Youzhou raised his head, looked at the clear sky, and murmured.

There was nothing unusual about the sky in the eyes of others, but He Youzhou saw the overwhelming malice in it.

There is evil in the world, and there is evil in heaven.

If it weren't for the fact that these malicious intentions would indiscriminately affect innocent people, He Youzhou wouldn't actually bother to pay attention.

He Youzhou put the iron sword behind him, folded his sleeves with his hands, hummed an inexplicable tune, and walked leisurely in a certain direction.

He had to relax now while he could still roam freely.

Otherwise, if he waits a little longer, he probably won't be able to be so leisurely.

---

The two good apprentices that He Youzhou was talking about were now near a farm.

Tomoyo looked at the farmhouse in front of him that was full of flies and flies, his face as heavy as water, "Youlan, it seems that this is indeed the place."

Because there was a vague connection between Youlan and Wan Ruicai, Youlan found the farmhouse easily.

Wan Rui was able to use these connections to determine whether Youlan had exposed his secret. Now Youlan can use these connections to locate him.

"That guy focused almost all of Tiandao's malicious attention this time," Tomoyo said.

I don’t know what kind of unscrupulous thing Wan Ruicai did to be maliciously focused by the law of heaven.

Tomoyo only felt that the farmhouse in front of him exuded a "foul smell", which was a smell unique to the distortion phenomenon.

As they get closer to the farmhouse, they realize that it is much weirder than they imagined.

The crops inside seemed to be forcibly connected by something, and they were covered with blood-red crystals.

Every place with crystals seemed to have been drained of life, and the color turned into a sickly deep black.

After Youlan saw these things, her breath was suffocated.

When you see this scene with your own eyes, you will feel an inexplicable chill.

Even if someone described it to Youlan in detail, it would never be as horrifying as what she saw now.

The deeper you go, the greater the number of flies.

If I hadn't known that this was a farmhouse, I would have thought that this was actually a cemetery.

Chise looked around and said, "These things are so similar to the corpse trees I saw at Wan Ruicai's place last time."

She very much suspected that another corpse tree had grown in this place, otherwise the surrounding environment would not have become like this for no reason.

Although Tomoyo didn't know exactly what kind of impact those corpse trees would have, her intuition told her that she couldn't allow those things to grow wildly.

Last time it was a blood plague, and I don’t know what will appear next time.

"Bang!" Tomoyo violently kicked open the locked door of the farmhouse.

When this door is kicked open, the scene is different from when a normal door is kicked open. It is as soft and rotten as a piece of rotten wood, without the toughness that wood should have.

The moment the door was kicked open, a strange scene came into view.

A huge tree is growing in the room, its roots, branches and leaves spreading everywhere.

But this tree looked like an emaciated corpse tangled together, without any sign of the vitality that a plant should have.

And there is a person embedded in this tree trunk.

Chise knew this man - he was Wan Ruicai.

Strictly speaking, it is not that Wan Ruicai is embedded in the trunk of the tree. It should be said that the tree grows from Wan Ruicai.

What grew near his neck was not only a corpse tree, but also several heads that continued to moan.

From Wan Ruicai's eyes, there was no longer any life, as if he had already died.

But he was far from alone here, there was another man in front of the tree.

"Get out of here." The man squatting at the corpse tree said in a hoarse voice.

Next to him, there was an unconscious woman lying.

"Are you the elder of Qingshan Gate?" Chise recognized at a glance that the haggard man was Wan Zhu, and the one on the ground was Lin Qingxue.

"Witch, I say it again, leave here." Wan Zhu said, "Then pretend that you didn't see anything."

Today, Wan Zhu is exhausted physically and mentally.

He didn't know what happened to his son, but he had realized that he couldn't save his son.

No matter how many times he chopped off the things growing on Wan Ruicai's body, it was meaningless.

It only takes a short while for those things to grow back.

Every time he removed it, he only made his children miserable.

Later, he stopped taking action because he didn't dare and couldn't bear it.

Wan Ruicai would cry out in pain at first, asking for help, but later on, Wan Ruicai's voice gradually became lower.

Now Wan Ruicai can no longer speak a word.

Wan Zhu looked at her child, feeling enveloped in great hesitation.

Wan Ruicai seems to be still alive, but also seems to be dead.

Seeing his only child becoming like this little by little, Wan Zhu fell into despair.

What on earth was he going to do to save his child?

He obviously kept saying that he would cure his son, but in the end he couldn't do anything at all.

Now, there is only one thing left that his father can do - to protect his children well.

"Impossible." Tomoyo expressionlessly rejected Wan Zhu's request, "I came here to destroy this tree."

Tomoyo's voice was extremely cold, and every word was filled with ruthlessness, "He just deserves it."

"If this tree continues to grow, it will only cause disaster." She said, "It's not us who should leave here, it's you."

Chapter 57: Chapter 57 This choice is too easy

Wan Zhu raised his head, his eyes fixed on Tomoyo.

He might have just looked a little serious, not old.

But now he looks like an old man of six or seven years old.

The image of a practitioner arises from the heart, which is perfectly explained at this moment.

Ordinary people can have gray hair overnight, and practitioners can also grow old overnight.

Wan Zhu never thought that he would experience such complex psychological changes in such a short period of time.

Anger, panic, despair, these emotions came one after another, leaving him breathless.

Maybe some people can cut off their emotions and desires, but Wan Zhu can't.

He couldn't let go of his family ties, especially the child he watched grow up.

Perhaps because too much time had passed, he knew that Wan Ruicai's affection for him had actually weakened a lot.

But for Wan Zhu, Wan Ruicai is still the only child.

When Wan Zhu saw his son's miserable appearance, he had already guessed that he had made a big mistake.

Perhaps, even the blood plague was caused by his own son.

However, even so, it was impossible for him to ignore death.

Even if he might reveal everything his son had done to the public afterwards and let his son accept the punishment he deserved - he would have to save his son first.

Because Wan Zhu had told his son several times that he would save him, Wan Zhu must do it.

"Should I get out of here?" Wan Zhu stood up unsteadily.

He usually stands tall and straight, and he is precise when using his sword.

But today, his standing posture seemed to have lost all strength, and his whole body collapsed.

"I can't leave, and you can't kill Ruicai." Wan Zhu's voice was hoarse, as if his throat was broken.

His eye sockets were sunken deeply, and his eyes clearly expressed his powerlessness.

However, seeing Wan Zhu like this, Tomoyo remained expressionless.

She rang the bell on her wrist, summoning her most commonly used shikigami.

As soon as the Soaring Snake came out, the thick fog dispersed.

However, Soaring Snake's white mist seemed unable to suppress the corrupt aura around the farmhouse, and could only linger around Soaring Snake's body.

"..." After watching Tomoyo summon the shikigami, Wan Zhu slowly straightened his waist.

Standing with the sword hidden behind him, looking forward.

His moves were the sword moves that Lin Qingxue used in the ring.

This is not surprising, after all, he is Lin Qingxue's master, and he taught Lin Qingxue every sword.

It's a pity that Wan Zhu doesn't have the same confidence as before.

Wan Zhu is usually confident because he firmly believes that he is decent and on the right side.

But now, he knew from the bottom of his heart that he was wrong to defend Wan Rui.

In pain, Wan Ruicai explained everything he had done.

The more he explained, the colder Wan Zhu's heart became.

Tomoyo was absolutely right, his son brought it upon himself.

"Ding bell——" With a move of Tomoyo's hand, the bell rang softly.

After the bell rang, Teng She pounced on Wan Zhu.

However, seeing the Soaring Snake rushing towards him, Wan Zhu made no move and allowed it to rush towards him.

Because he knew that the target of this soaring snake was not actually him.

Teng Snake picked up the unconscious Lin Qingxue at his feet and then threw her behind.

"Youlan, continue." Tomoyo said.

Upon hearing this, Youlan hurriedly stretched out her hand to catch Lin Qingxue.

"She has no injuries. It seems you still have a conscience." Tomoyo said quietly.

Wan Zhu seemed stunned for a moment, "She is my apprentice."

"Then I take back what I said." Tomoyo said expressionlessly, "You are really not a good master."

She knew why Wan Zhu wanted to knock Lin Qingxue unconscious. It was simply because she didn't want Lin Qingxue to tell anyone what she saw.

But the matter has come to this, and it doesn’t matter whether we talk or not.

Chise turned to Youlan and said, "Youlan, send her out."

Even though it was just a battle between monks in the alchemy stage, Youlan still couldn't bear the aftermath of the battle.

Moreover, she could feel that this guy probably wouldn't hold back.

The Wan Zhu who was in Tianyan Sect last time and the Wan Zhu who is now have fundamentally different reasons for fighting.
