Chapter 2879: The Peak Master Has a Great Opportunity

These Tree Ghosts, that's naturally like fertile water not flowing to outsiders' fields; they definitely must be left for our own fellow sect brothers.

So, those Heavenly Palace people must certainly be guarded against.

Just now we already came to an agreement with these Tree Ghosts; Xu Jie and the others will bring reliable people over, and then these Tree Ghosts will just need to acknowledge their master.

As for now, just maintain the status quo; don't let others enter.

Before leaving, Xu Jie specially instructed Zhao Zhengping: when we go out later, don't speak; if those Heavenly Palace people ask anything, they themselves will handle it.

"Why?"

Zhao Zhengping asked with a strange look, and Xu Jie replied.

"Senior Brother just needs to listen."

Immediately, the four senior brothers went all the way to the edge of the forest; these Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts proactively opened an exit, and only then did everyone manage to escape.

As expected, just as they stepped out of the forest, the next second many Heavenly Palace experts appeared before them, and among them there were several Heavenly Officials.

These people, each with a doubtful look, gazed at Xu Jie and the others, then immediately asked.

"What happened inside?"

"What's wrong with these Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts? Why did they suddenly riot?"

"Yeah, what exactly is the situation now?"

One cannot afford for everyone not to take it seriously, after all, if these Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts truly go berserk, it would be a catastrophe that could topple the entire Immortal City Beyond the Heavens.

Right now Ye Zhangqing is absent, and the two Palace Masters Zhao Tianqing and Tianhe are also absent.

If these Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts go mad at this time, the city would have no one to stop them; then these Tree Ghosts destroying the entire Immortal City Beyond the Heavens would be an easy task.

So it's no wonder that all the Heavenly Officials are so tense.

And when faced with the questioning of the many Heavenly Palace experts, Xu Jie stepped forward and replied.

"Seniors, we also don't know what happened, but just now in the forest, these Tree Ghosts didn't harm us, and afterwards they let us go; I think perhaps it's because Junior Brother Ye Zhangqing isn't here, and they're getting anxious."

"So they're hungry?"

That explanation was quite reasonable; afterwards, Xu Jie recounted what had happened inside once more.

True or false, anyway according to Xu Jie's words, that means these Tree Ghosts went crazy from hunger and suddenly went on a rampage.

However, after finally learning that Xu Jie and the others are senior brothers of Ye Zhangqing, and promising that once Junior Brother Ye Zhangqing returns they will definitely feed them, they finally calmed down.

As for the Tree Pet matter, naturally not a word was revealed.

After hearing Xu Jie's explanation, several Heavenly Officials had no doubt either; it was reasonable, but one of the Heavenly Officials looked at Zhao Zhengping and asked.

"What's the matter with his face?"

Zhao Zhengping had just been whipped by two tree branches; his face is still swollen, clearly injured.

Faced with that Heavenly Official's inquiry, Zhao Zhengping froze for a moment, thinking, 'How does this even involve me?'

But recalling Xu Jie's repeated instructions earlier not to speak, Zhao Zhengping paid no heed.

Seeing this brat actually ignore him directly, that Heavenly Official furrowed his brows and said.

"How did you get this injury?"

Still no response, that Heavenly Official became a bit anxious.

"Speak up."

Huh???

The gazes of the surrounding people were also drawn over; "Is this hard to answer? You damn well aren't mute."

As for Zhao Zhengping, Xu Jie and the others, the Heavenly Palace people are naturally not strangers either; they've seen each other many times before while eating.

Everyone knows each other; what the hell are you pretending to be mute for now?

Seeing everyone's attention now locked onto the Senior Brother, Xu Jie hurriedly spoke up.

"Senior, my Senior Brother fell; just now he was tripped by those Tree Ghosts."

"If he fell, just say he fell; why are you putting on an aloof act with me?"

Upon hearing that, that Heavenly Official glared fiercely at Zhao Zhengping, and Zhao Zhengping simply lowered his head outright.

That action made that Heavenly Official's hands itch; this damn kid ………………

Fortunately, nothing else happened afterward; after Xu Jie's round of persuasion, they finally managed to stabilize those Heavenly Palace experts.

Moreover, Xu Jie took the opportunity to seize the caretaking rights over these Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts.

"Seniors, these Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts are dangerous; before Junior Brother Ye Zhangqing returns, let us senior brothers take care of them, after all these Tree Ghosts currently still somewhat trust us; if there are too many people, any trouble that arises later would be problematic."

Upon hearing this, the leading few Heavenly Officials also thought it reasonable.

After all, Xu Jie and the others have just finished communicating well with these Tree Ghosts, establishing a trust foundation; letting them take care of them is indeed the best choice.

Furthermore, this task is dangerous; nobody wants to take it, after all who knows when these Tree Ghosts will go berserk; if something really happens, dying would be pointless.

So, upon hearing this, several Heavenly Officials had no hesitation and nodded.

"That's fine, after all you are brothers with Ye Xiaozi, and these Tree Ghosts trust you even more; then this matter is entrusted to you."

"But you must definitely keep them stable, don't let any accidents happen."

"Certainly."

After giving the instructions, the Heavenly Palace people present left just as decisively, disappearing without looking back.

There was no choice; if not for fear, they wouldn't have come at all; it was purely out of having no alternative, they steeled themselves and went forward.

Regarding these Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts, they are deeply wary of them; except for Ye Zhangqing, these Tree Ghosts listen to nobody's words.

After seeing off the Heavenly Palace people, Xu Jie and the four then left.

At night, Zhao Zhengping cultivated; Xu Jie, Liu Shuang, and Lu Youyou then went directly to the residence of Bai Hua Xianzi and the other girls.

Seeing the three senior brothers and sisters Xu Jie, Bai Hua Xianzi still felt strange.

"What's wrong? It's so late; did something happen?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Jie and the three others clasped their hands in salute and said.

"Peak Master, there's a great opportunity!"

Bai Hua Xianzi and Absolute Shadow, the two women, although they are currently Ye Zhangqing's dao companions, are also simultaneously the Peak Masters of the Dao Yi Sect.

So, Xu Jie and the three still habitually address the two women as Peak Master.

Upon hearing this, Bai Hua Xianzi was stunned.

"What opportunity?"

"This person, sitting at home, could still have an opportunity? Furthermore, with just the cultivation level of Xu Jie and his three fellow disciples, even if there were an opportunity, it wouldn't concern you at all."

"Here in Beyond the Heavens, with your level of cultivation, could you possibly seize that opportunity? As for Ye Zhangqing, he still has a slight chance."

So Bai Hua Xianzi completely didn't take the three's words to heart; whether it's an opportunity or not, don't overthink it.

Until Xu Jie finished explaining the matter of the tree pet, Bai Hua Xianzi and the other women then exchanged a strange glance.

"You're saying this is that kind of opportunity?"

Never would have expected that Xu Jie and his fellow disciples actually managed to deal with the Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts, and they did so even while their husbands were absent.

This is truly outrageous; with such a huge gap in strength, they're just relying on bluffing.

As for those Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts, to Bai Hua Xianzi and the other women, they also indeed count as a great opportunity, after all, their strength is such that they dominate even in Beyond the Heavens.
