The fairies were in a dilemma over Shi Lang’s proposal. They did not expect this young man to be so helpful to them. The only thing that bothered them was the point that they would have to give up on the demon bane tree. Although Shi Lang had promised to let them consume the fruits, they were still unsure.
As they talked, one of the ladies said, “Senior Sister, how about we refuse him? Why must we take so much stress over this? What if he is one of those conspiring with the demonic cultivators?”
The group leader shook her head faintly and said, “I can tell that he is not such a person, his eyes are clear, and he also took a heavenly vow. Even if it was rudimentary, if he acts against us, it will be a death sentence for him. I was not expecting him to be so sincere.”
The others thought and could not help but nod after hearing this. After a few more minutes of discussion, they agreed to Shi Lang. The terran was happy about this, and he was getting the demon bane tree.
They were standing under the big tree, and Shi Lang questioned, “Fairy, can you tell me how to extract this tree?”
The lady said, “Fellow Daoist, you can call me Ying Yu.”
Shi Lang nodded and reported his name as well. Ying Yu nodded and said, “You can dig around the tree and then extract it carefully. Please ensure you do not channel negative intent toward the tree, or the roots will attack.”
The Terran did not expect this, but he understood that the tree was conscious. Thinking about this, he removed the soil using a rather flashy method. He manipulated the spirit energy to create a wind current around the tree. The soil flew up slowly, but after five minutes, they reached the bottom of the roots. Shi Lang closed his eyes, and his spirit energy covered the tree.
The next movement, the tree vanished from the spot. The five ladies were shocked and could not believe Shi Lang could hold such a big thousand-meter tree into his space ring. However, in this world, who did not have secrets?
Shi Lang sighed and said, “Lei Hu, take us to a remote and hidden place.”
Sensing their moods, Shi Lang said, “You do not have to worry, Daoist Ying Yu. The only reason I am taking you all to a hidden place is so that you can test your destiny in peace.”
The young ladies looked at each other, and then Ying Yu nodded. The group quickly followed the Thunder Tiger. They saw a lot of landscapes, some fascinating, some bizarre. However, this was all considered to be an experience. 𝗈𝓋𝓛xt.𝔠𝗈𝗆
The battlefield of gods was so dangerous that just a slight in judgment and the scenery would swallow you completely. The beasts in this place were rare; if there were any, they were strong, like Lei Hu or the Human-faced Owl.
On the way to the place, Lei Hu had warned Shi Lang many times, and they had to go in a roundabout. Lei Hu did not have a big territory. After all, he was just an Immortal Lord, and this place had Immortal Kings and even Immortal Emperor level beasts.
Ying Yu said, “When we were chasing the group of Demonic Cultivators, we came to know that they had located the hiding place of a demonic beast. The realm of this beast was Immortal King. However, they said that the beast was injured, and thus they had bought a lot of treasures to nourish it and a secret technique to subdue it.”
Shi Lang snorted and said, “I hate demonic cultivators a lot. If I can find the hideout of that beast, I have a way to kill it.”
Ying Yu was surprised, while the rest thought Shi Lang was boasting shamelessly. As they were conversing, they found themselves standing before a swamp. Shi Lang frowned and turned to look at Lei Hu. He said, “Xiao Hu, where did you bring us?”
The Thunder Tiger glared at Shi Lang and bared its fangs when it heard the address. Shi Lang waved his hand and did not care about the beast. He stepped forward and nodded, and the thunder tiger conveyed to him a few things. The Terran said, “Lei Hu is telling me this swamp is newly formed. Let’s look for another place because it could be a trap.”
Before Ying Yu could say anything, one young lady said, “Are you trying to fool us? We have been following you for a long time, and now you say we should look for another place. Return the Demon Bane Tree you took, you con!”
The lady did not lower her voice, and Shi Lang frowned. He narrowed his gaze and glanced at the swamp. The place was as big as a football field. Shi Lang said, “Since you all are here, why don’t you come out?”
The lady thought Shi Lang was still putting up an act. She quickly took out her sword and was ready to attack Shi Lang when Ying Yu stepped forward and said, “Indeed, stop acting like a coward and come out.”
The lady was surprised and realized that she had caused a big blunder. At this moment, she wanted to say something, but it was too late. Suddenly a few figures stood up from the ground. They all looked dirty, but they used the dirt and mud on their bodies using the spirit energy.
It looked like these people were all spirit cultivators at a rough glance. However, Shi Lang could see a few people with Demonic Energy circulating them. Shi Lang asked, “Are these the colluders you talked about?”
Ying Yu nodded and said, “To think the reputed Flame Prince will be a colluder. I wonder what the impact will be if the council learned this.”
A young man in a flaming red robe stood on the swamp surface. He had long hair, and on his head was a golden crown. It looked like the crown was flickering like flames. The young man sneered and said, “I did not expect the Fairy Yu to come across me on the battlefield of gods. As for the impact, if the council found out about us, you do not have to worry because who will tell them?”
Ying Yu took out her sword and said, “Why don’t we decide if you can stop me from doing that?”
The flame prince chuckled and said, “We can be said to have some relation, I will not attack you, but I want that Demon Bane Tree.”
His gaze landed on Shi Lang, and he began to size him up. However, Shi Lang said, “You all talk a bit too much.”
Then he vanished from his place and appeared behind the young man. His target was not the spirit cultivators but the demonic cultivators aided by them. Shi Lang did not bring out his sword because he noticed the people were focused on Ying Yu and her fellow cultivators.
They did not think much of him, and even more, Shi Lang attacked when the enemy was talking to him of intimidate him. Shi Lang’s fist was covered with lighting energy and headed toward the demonic cultivator’s head.
The latter was so shocked that he did not have the time to defend himself when the fist came in contact with his temples. The violent Lightning energy attacked the demonic energy like a wounded beast chasing food.
Shi Lang knew that his attack had succeeded, and he turned around to deal with the rest of the demonic cultivators. The enemy camp had fifty people, and they did not expect this guy to barge right in the middle of them. However, that was why they were so shocked as well.
Ying Yu snorted, and her sisters woke up from their daze. They brandished their swords and joined the fray. Shi Lang had informed the lady about his plan before he initiated the attack. The five of them joined forces and unleashed an attack on the back of the Flame Prince.
Ying Yu shouted softly, “Judgement Pentagon Sword Formation.”
The Flame Prince was preparing to attack Shi Lang, so he was somewhat prepared but did not expect the ladies to attack his exposed back. He sneered and shouted, “Dragon Flame Spear.”
He held a spear that seemed to have turned into a dragon as it attacked the incoming swords. The ladies did not fall back, but they increased their energy input in the attack. Five to one, and Flame Prince managed to hold back the attack. Although he had consumed a lot of energy, the attack still did not harm him.
On the other hand, Shi Lang was akin to a tiger amidst a herd of sheep. He was moving around, and his fists killed people every time they moved. He was thorough in his work and did not kill the spirit cultivators. He only knocked them out. The demonic cultivators did not receive such a treatment, and they were killed one after the other. Their corpses were taken into storage by the Terran for gardening needs.
