After introducing themselves to each other, they learned that this elder was the Clan Leader of the Wood Elf Clan, named Qingfeng.
Having taken their seats, Monkey Kongxu grabbed a cup of Elf Brew and gulped it down, âQingfeng, old man, this isnât satisfying enough to drink, give this king a whole jar to chug!â
Clan Leader Qingfeng stroked his long white beard and chuckled, âMonkey
Kongxu has no manners, please donât take offense, esteemed guests!â
âWell⦠thatâs inherently⦠monkey-like, pretty good!â Li Cheng coughed lightly and said.
âHaha, come, try the finest wine of our tribe. Outsiders call it Elf Brew, Clan
Leader Qingfeng said with a laugh.
The three of them were already eager to try it, because the wine was emitting a rich fluctuation of Immortal Qi and an enticing aroma. Just by smelling it, they felt their pores opening up all over their bodies, indescribably comfortable.
With one sip, they felt the vigorous force of Immortal Qi and the refreshing aroma of the wine slowly spreading inside their bodies, bringing a revitalizing sensation as pleasant as if bathing in the spring breeze.
âTasty, isnât it? This is the best wine of the Elf Tribe. In the past, even this king had difficulty getting a taste,â Monkey Kongxu said, with a hint of jealousy in his voice.
At that moment, extremely tall female elves came over, each carrying a fruit platter. The platters were filled with swirls of Immortal Qi, evidently all Immortal Fruits!
The little girl followed behind the female elves, cheekily sticking out her tongue, then quickly sat down beside Clan Leader Qingfeng, âGrandfather Clan Leader, are they the reinforcements?â
Monkey Kongxu glared at the little girl with displeasure, âHave you ever seen such weak reinforcements?â
Clan Leader Qingfeng glanced at the monkey, who immediately shut his mouth, bowed his head, and nibbled on the Immortal Fruits, saying no more.
âWhatâs this about reinforcements? If you need help, Clan Leader, just say the word!â Ye Chenfeng said, cupping his hands respectfully.
Feng Wanli nodded too, âWe might be of little power, but weâre still willing to offer whatever modest help we can.â
Li Cheng smiled silently. Those two old men were really overestimating themselves, werenât they? With the presence of Golden Immortals and complete Profound Immortals, it was unlikely they would seek us out for reinforcements!
However, being treated so generously upon a first encounter, and the Golden
Immortal realm Clan Leader personally accompanying them, without any peculiarity, Li Cheng truly wouldnât believe.
âThe Wood Elf Clan has encountered a great deal of trouble, so I told the little girl that Iâve called for reinforcements, and well, you know the rest.â After saying this, the monkey raised its head, then continued to munch on the Immortal Fruits.
The little girl blinked her watery big eyes, âKong Xu, are you lying to me?â
Clan Leader Qingfeng patted the little girl and laughed, âDistinguished guests, there is no need to overthink it. Our Wood Elf Clan has always enjoyed making friends with cultivators from all over.â
See, they didnât even bring up the matter of reinforcements, obviously they didnât regard our cultivation highly.
But is it really just about making friends?
Li Cheng remained skeptical, because the Clan Leaderâs cultivation was simply too strong.
âElder Qingfeng, you mentioned that no one has visited for over ten thousand years. During these ten thousand years, have you also never left this place?â Li Cheng changed the subject.
Clan Leader Qingfengâs face always wore a smile as he nodded slightly, âThe creatures born here, after their cultivation steps into the Immortal Realm, cannot leave on their own.â
All three looked towards Clan Leader Qingfeng, each conceiving the same guess in their heartsâwas it a restriction imposed by the Order of Heaven and Earth?
But there was an underlying message in his words, that they couldnât leave on their own, but others could help them?
As if seeing through the thoughts of the three, Clan Leader Qingfeng continued, âYouâve guessed correctly. In order to leave, you need the guidance of a powerful outsider. For instance, over ten thousand years ago, when Li Baijie came here, he took away all the creatures above the Golden Immortal realm.â
âLi Baijie? Could it be Grand Venerable Bai Jie?â Feng Wanliâs eyes lit up.
Clan Leader Qingfengâs eyes showed confusion as he shook his head, âThis is the first time Iâve heard of Grand Venerable Bai Jie. Is that a nickname you gave to Li Baijie, or is there someone else by that name?â
The real name of Grand Venerable Bai Jie was a secret known to few, and even Li Cheng and the others didnât know if this was the same person.
But judging by the timeline, it was entirely possible.
Moreover, Clan Leader Qingfeng had referred to a person of great power, which made it even more likely.
âWhy did he take away all the people above Golden Immortal?â Li Cheng asked curiously.
Elder Qingfeng still shook his head. âHe only said there was an important matter that required everyoneâs cooperation. The specifics are unclear. At that time, I was only at the Complete Profound Immortal level.â
â How many races live here? How many people did he take away?â Feng Wanh asked.
Li Cheng glanced at Feng Wanli. Was this an appropriate question? It probably fell under classified information.
Indeed, Elder Qingfeng vaguely said, âOur Five Elements Elf Tribe is the main one here. There are a few other races, but no Human Tribe.â
âMay I ask, Senior, what race does the ruined city ten thousand li away belong to?â Ye Chenfeng spoke.
Li Cheng also wanted to know the answer to this question because the pots and pans that appeared there could carry Laws, which was not simple!
âSpeaking of that ruined city, itâs a strange one; it doesnât belong here!â âAccording to the records of our clanâs books, it came through a breach in space. It was already deserted when it appeared, with no living beings, so its origin is unknown.â
This answer surprised Li Cheng. The strength of the space here was not weaker than the Immortal World; what kind of power could break it and send a ruined city over?
Why send a ruined city here?
Or was it that some peerless powerhouse battled, tearing space asunder, causing the city to drift here?
As Li Cheng pondered, Elder Qingfeng stood up, his gaze shifting outside the wooden hut, âJust mentioned the other few races, didnât expect the Demon Human Clan to come so soon. Honored guests, would you care to join us to see?â
The Demon Human Clan?
The three exchanged glances, yes, they would of course go to see! Stepping out of the wooden hut, they saw all the Floating Peaks already enveloped by a large formation. Through the formation, they could see thick Demonic Qi rolling in from the distant horizon, heading straight for this place. âSuch dense Demonic Qi, compared to the Demon Gate, itâs like comparing a firefly to the bright moon,â Feng Wanliâs expression grew serious.
As the black mist drew closer, everyone could clearly see that they were numerous humanoid monsters with pitch-black scales. Savage auras enveloped them, and their bared teeth glistened with a chilling light.
âThe Demon Human Clan is one of the branches of the Demon Race, considered the lowest. Their wisdom is generally not high, but they are extremely bloodthirsty and do not fear death, which makes them very troublesome,â Elder Qingfeng said.
Li Cheng sensed for a moment and said, âTheir Demonic Qi is a bit strange, mixed with death Qi. It feels like it has been invaded by death Qi.â
âHa, exactly, lad. It is this reason that drives them by instinct to the Wood Elf Clan, trying to seize the Life Divine Tree!â Monkey Kongxu looked at Li Cheng appreciatively.
After a pause, Monkey Kongxu sighed softly, âBut they donât know that the Life Divine Tree has also been invaded by the death Qi and is now half-dead.
Ye Chenfeng seemed to think of something and took over, âThe so-called reinforcements, are they the ones to heal the Life Divine Tree?â
âHey, how come youâre so clever?â Monkey Kongxuâs voice raised a few notches.
As he spoke, Monkey Kongxu looked towards Elder Qingfeng, âTheyâre so clever, Iâm afraid they might find a way to heal the Divine Tree. Why not let them try?â
Elder Qingfengâs expression remained calm, apparently pondering something. Monkey Kongxu scratched his head and grimaced. âIf the Divine Tree canât recover, the Wood Elf Clan will perish. Whatâs there to consider?â
Li Cheng had come to understand; the warm hospitality was because they intended to ask everyone to try to heal the Life Divine Tree!
After all, it was a matter of the clanâs survival. Li Cheng could very much understand Elder Qingfengâs approach of casting a wide net. What if they really could invite someone capable of healing the Divine Tree?
âSenior, since itâs a matter of life and death, why not let us have a try?â Li Cheng spoke up.
He knew that Elder Qingfeng was probably waiting for these words, and he also wanted to see what this so-called Life Divine Tree was like.
