Chapter 208: The Blood Demon Tree Riot, the Demonic Tree that Devours Xianxia Island
At this very moment, inside the Xianxia Sect.
Elders and Disciples of the three major sects were all busy cleaning up the corpses.
The Storage Bags of all the deceased Cultivators were handed over to the sect to be processed in the sect's treasury.
It could be said that this battle was a complete victory.
"We won, we actually won."
"The Sect Master is truly too strong, planning strategies with ease."
"Isn't that so? With just a small trick, she trapped and killed eight Golden Core Real Persons; it is truly like turning one's hands to summon clouds and rain."
"These Golden Core Real Persons are also stupid; knowing we were about to leave Xianxia Island, they actually ran over to throw their lives away."
"Perhaps it is precisely because they knew we were leaving that they rushed over in such a hurry, wanting to intercept and kill us to make a huge profit."
"Hehe, wanting to make a huge profit, now they've kicked an iron plate, haven't they? All of them were trapped and killed by the Sect Master, not a single one left."
"The Sect Master is indeed a genius who appears once in a thousand years. The previous Sect Master could do nothing about the Youmo Sect, but look at it now; she has almost wiped out the Youmo Sect and Huangfeng Valley."
Numerous Xianxia Sect Disciples discussed it fervently; they all admired Leng Yuexi to the point of prostration.
At the very beginning, they felt that they were completely finished.
After all, there were traitors inside the Xianxia Sect, and eight Golden Core Real Persons had gathered; no matter how one looked at it, there was no chance of a comeback.
But who could have imagined that Leng Yuexi would use their own tactics against them, instead trapping and killing this group of Golden Core Real Persons.
This completely demonstrated Leng Yuexi's methods.
Originally, when Leng Yuexi first took office, even though she was a Golden Core Real Person, some of the older seniors were a bit unconvinced by her.
But now, they had no choice but to be convinced.
…………
At this time, inside Xianxia Peak.
Lin Yazhu, Leng Yuexi, Shen Biqian, Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyan, and Xia Jingyan were together, and Zhou Sui was naturally among them; the others were not here, as they had gone to handle the aftermath.
"Husband, thank you for helping my Ji Family take revenge."
Ji Bingyu looked at Zhou Sui with a face full of gratitude, her heart moved beyond measure, her love reaching its peak.
To tell the truth, she had never imagined that she would have a day where she could avenge her grievances.
After all, she only possessed a Five-element Spiritual Root; it was already good enough to become a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and as for the Golden Core Realm, it was almost an impossible matter, something she didn't even dare to dream about.
In other words, in this life, she basically had no hope of revenge.
But who could have thought that after following Zhou Sui, it had only been a dozen years or so; not only had she advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm, but she had also avenged the Ji Family.
"Why be so polite? You are my Dao Companion."
"Your affairs are naturally my affairs."
"Now the Ancestor of the Ouyang Family is dead, and even several Foundation Establishment Elders have died."
"Basically, the Ouyang Family has certainly been wiped out."
Zhou Sui looked at Ji Bingyu with deep affection, his sweet words coming naturally.
"It doesn't matter, let the remaining people of the Ouyang Family be; I only kill the primary culprits."
Ji Bingyu said in a deep voice.
After all, they were also about to leave Xianxia Island; even if the survivors of the Ouyang Family wanted revenge, they wouldn't be able to find where their enemies were, and they might not even survive themselves.
"Husband, now that the Golden Core Real Persons of the Youmo Sect, Huangfeng Valley, and other forces are all dead, should we kill our way to their sects and loot their sect treasures?"
Leng Yuexi asked.
After all, the Storage Bags on these Golden Core Real Persons only carried a portion of their treasures.
The real treasures should still be hidden in the sect treasuries.
"Forget it, let's pack our luggage and leave Xianxia Island immediately."
"What is called 'too much is as bad as too little'; we cannot delay any longer."
Zhou Sui said in a deep voice.
To tell the truth, if there were still time, he would naturally want to go to these sects to loot them.
But his clone placed near the Blood Demon Tree sensed an increasingly dangerous aura emanating from the Blood Demon Tree.
It could be said that the seal could no longer hold for much longer.
If they continued to delay, they might not be able to leave even if they wanted to.
To risk one's life for a little bit of wealth is truly not worth it.
After all, according to his rate of progress, he would sooner or later be able to ascend to a higher realm.
In this way, the wealth of mere Golden Core sects would count for nothing.
One's own life is the most important thing; everything else is fake.
"Very well, Husband."
Hearing this, Leng Yuexi naturally followed Zhou Sui's orders, because her husband's judgment had never once been wrong.
One hour later, the three sects of the Xianxia Sect, Qingmu Sect, and Pill Cauldron Sect had all packed their luggage, cleaned up the aftermath, and then steered their Flying Boats, immediately flying toward the distance.
A full thirty-three Flying Boats moved at full speed, with all power engaged, rapidly leaving the Xianxia Sect.
…………
In the distance, many forces were also constantly monitoring every move of the three sects including the Xianxia Sect.
Although the Xianxia Sect had long ago spread the news that they were about to relocate, many forces were skeptical, thinking how could a sect relocate just because they said so.
But until now, seeing that almost everyone from the Xianxia Sect had withdrawn from the Xianxia Mountain Range, the crowd was shocked; the other party was not joking, they had truly relocated.
"No way, is the Xianxia Sect crazy? They actually really moved away from the Xianxia Mountain Range where they have lived for a thousand years? Could it be that they found a better sect location? Did they discover a Fourth-tier Spirit Vein?"
Some people were stunned, having no idea why the Xianxia Sect would make such a major decision.
"It is said that the Xianxia Sect felt an irresistible disaster was about to occur in this region, so they left in advance, relocating collectively before the disaster erupted."
"Impossible. I feel like everything is calm right now; how could a disaster erupt? Isn't that nonsense?"
"You can't say that. The Xianxia Sect is a Golden Core sect with a Golden Core Real Person presiding over it. As the saying goes, the duck knows when the spring river warms first; they must know more than we do. Perhaps something really has happened."
"If something really has happened, then what should we do? We don't even have a Flying Boat for transport."
"To be honest, I think it's better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't. We should leave this place for a while. If nothing happens, that's for the best, and we can return to occupy this Third-tier Spirit Vein. But if something does happen, we're dead."
"That is indeed true. A thousand-year sect wouldn't just give up like that unless some major change occurred. Something we cannot even imagine must have happened."
Many Cultivators discussed it heatedly.
They also suddenly became nervous; after all, the relocation of a Golden Core sect is no small matter.
Although it would indeed leave a huge power vacuum, they would have to be alive to take advantage of it.
Therefore, not only were they not happy in the slightest, but they also felt that a disaster might be imminent.
One by one, the Loose Cultivators began to flee in panic, leaving this region one after another.
It can be said that, for a time, many Cultivator families were rapidly evacuating.
Boom~~
Just at this moment, terrifying fluctuations erupted from the former Cave Abode of Xueying Laozu, and a towering tree finally broke through the seal, drilling out from deep underground.
Its roots grew crazily, entering every Spirit Vein, madly devouring every wisp of heaven and earth Spirit Qi.
Its originally withered body was now actually gradually expanding.
The branches that were originally withered had now actually become emerald green, full of vitality.
"Finally broke through this damn seal."
"Three thousand years, I have been sealed for a full three thousand years."
"Blood, I want blood."
A series of crazy voices emanated from the Blood Demon Tree, near madness, as if thousands of wronged souls were howling. Countless grievances gathered on the tree, extremely demonic.
Rumble~~
With its body as the center, a blood-colored mist instantly erupted.
Originally, this mist only covered a radius of a hundred miles, but now, it was expanding rapidly.
Two hundred miles, five hundred miles, one thousand miles, two thousand miles, three thousand miles...
The expansion speed of the blood-colored mist was extremely astonishing, covering three thousand miles of territory in the blink of an eye.
No matter how the living beings within the mist tried to escape, it was useless; they could not compare to the speed at which the blood-colored mist expanded.
Any living being shrouded by the blood-colored mist instantly fell to the ground as if drunk, unable to move.
Then, roots drilled out from the ground and pierced into the bodies of these living beings.
It was just like a straw, drawing the blood of countless living beings.
Thud!
The clone of Zhou Sui, who was originally hiding in the dark, died instantly and dropped dead on the spot.
Even a clone could not withstand this terrifying power.
…………
What?!
At this very moment, Zhou Sui, who was staying on the Third-tier Flying Boat, instantly widened his eyes, his pupils contracting. His Soul received the message sent back by this clone before it died.
Originally, this clone was specifically used to monitor the Blood Demon Tree; he did not expect it to die so quickly.
"What's wrong? Husband?"
At this time, Leng Yuexi and the others also noticed Zhou Sui's expression and asked with some concern.
"The Blood Demon Tree has broken through the seal. We must speed up and evacuate Xianxia Island immediately."
Zhou Sui's expression was very serious.
He sensed that the strength of that Blood Demon Tree was terrifying, and its cultivation speed was very fast, not something an ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivator could compare to; it might even be comparable to a Deity Transformation.
In short, if they continued to stay on Xianxia Island, it would likely be a dead end.
"But the Flying Boat is already moving very fast."
Leng Yuexi said with some hesitation.
"Then go faster. Full speed ahead until the Flying Boat reaches its limit."
"No need to worry about Spirit Stones; use as many as it takes."
Zhou Sui said immediately.
"Alright, Husband."
Hearing this, Leng Yuexi nodded and immediately gave orders to the Cultivator operating the Flying Boat, making the boat reach its fastest speed and leaving Xianxia Island regardless of the cost.
Ten days later.
After the Flying Boat flew desperately regardless of the cost, everyone finally saw the sea—an endless ocean with no visible boundaries.
Any living being would feel awe and sense the insignificance of life upon seeing the boundless ocean.
"Great, we finally see the sea."
Ji Bingyu and the others said with great joy. They had always lived inland before and had basically never seen what a real ocean looked like.
Although they had seen lakes, how could those compare to the real ocean?
"Husband, where are we going?"
Leng Yuexi asked with some worry.
Although they had left Xianxia Island, they still had no destination.
"Never mind that. Let's evacuate Xianxia Island first and find an ordinary island nearby to settle down."
"It won't be too late to discuss where to go after that."
Zhou Sui said in a deep voice.
"Alright."
Leng Yuexi nodded and let the Flying Boat fly at full speed again. Before long, they left Xianxia Island and entered the boundless sea, surrounded by endless azure seawater.
Rumble~~~
At this very moment, the entire Xianxia Island seemed to tremble, emitting a humming sound.
Clusters of red mist rose up, as if they were alive, completely enveloping the entire island.
The once vast and enormous island now seemed to be shrouded in a massive red barrier, permeating with auras of evil, chill, terror, and cruelty.
It was as if a terrifying giant beast had swallowed the entire island whole.
In the center of the island, no one knew when it had appeared, but a ten-thousand-meter-tall crimson giant tree stood, resembling a ten-thousand-zhang mountain, towering into the clouds, and also appearing like a majestic deity, permeating with irresistible power.
All living beings before it were like ants, not worth mentioning.
"What is going on? What exactly happened? Where did this red mist come from, and why has it wrapped around the entire island?" Many Cultivators saw this scene.
They were not fools; each of them felt incomparably shocked in their hearts, their livers trembling, shivering with fear.
If they had been even one step later, wouldn't they have been imprisoned within the island, never to escape again?!
Just thinking about this possibility made them all tremble.
Although they did not know what exactly had happened inside Xianxia Island, for ordinary people, this was definitely not a good thing; it could even be a catastrophic disaster.
Could it be that the Sect Master knew this, which was why she abandoned the thousand-year foundation and fled regardless of everything?!
That's right, it must be so.
If she hadn't known that such a disaster would occur, how could a normal person abandon a flourishing industry and flee Xianxia Island regardless of everything?!
"Damn it, I knew the Golden Core Real Persons must have known something; otherwise, how could the Sect Master have fled regardless of everything? This was simply running for one's life."
"What is the origin of this ten-thousand-zhang giant tree? Why does it look so evil? Could it be some kind of demon?"
"If it is a demon, isn't it too terrifying? Can the people inside Xianxia Island still leave alive?"
"Hehe, if you are interested, you can go inside and try it now to see if you can come out alive."
"Fortunately, I was wise enough to know that the Sect Master must have had a reason for doing this. Those fools gave up on migrating with the sect for the sake of petty gains; I don't know if they can still be alive now."
"In short, it's fortunate that we ran fast. If we had been a step late, I'm afraid we would have been entangled by this red mist, and then who knows what would have happened."
Many Cultivators were filled with relief.
They all looked at the three Golden Core Real Persons, including Leng Yuexi, with immense gratitude.
If it weren't for the other party's decisive actions, they would likely have faced the same catastrophic disaster as the people on the island.
"This!"
However, the three women, Leng Yuexi, Lin Yazhu, and Shen Biqian, were also a bit stunned. To be honest, they didn't know that such a thing would happen either; they had only followed Zhou Sui's words and migrated the sect regardless of everything.
Of course, they also felt that the sealed demon must be incredibly terrifying.
But they hadn't expected it to be terrifying to this extent; it had only been ten days, and it had actually covered the entire island.
If this was the case, how did the ancestors of the former Xianxia Sect seal this demon?
"Don't space out, hurry up and run; we haven't left the danger zone yet."
Zhou Sui's hair stood on end. He sensed that the Blood Demon Tree deep in the island seemed to have discovered them. He immediately roared, telling the many Cultivators to steer the Flying Boat and retreat rapidly.
