Chapter 853

"I wouldn't dare. I wonder if Sect Leader Zhang has found the Ice Silkworm Grass?" Su Hang smiled and cupped his hands.

Zhang Wuji nodded with a smile and pointed to the Soul-Withered Tree in the distance. "I have not failed the mission. The Ice Silkworm Grass is under its canopy; I found a cold jade box containing the Ice Silkworm Grass."

"Oh?"

Su Hang raised his brows. Seeing Zhang Wuji holding an ice-carved jade box in his hands, it was clearly the Ice Silkworm Grass that Zhou Zhiruo had requested.

"Miss Zhiruo, let's quickly retrieve the Ice Silkworm Grass; there is hope for curing your father!" Zhang Wuji urged impatiently.

"Big Brother Su, let's go!" Zhou Zhiruo said excitedly.

Su Hang nodded, and the group returned to the Mo Sect together, arriving under that Soul-Withered Tree.

The Soul-Withered Tree was several hundred zhang tall, lush with branches and leaves, the branches crisscrossing like blades and swords.

Su Hang took a deep breath, kicked his legs hard, soared into the air, and punched the Soul-Withered Tree.

A dull sound exploded at the top of the Soul-Withered Tree. Su Hang threw a punch, and the formidable power erupted, instantly shattering the branches. The Soul-Withered Tree collapsed with a crash, its canopy falling to the ground with a bang.

"Ah?"

Su Hang's astonishing offensive immediately terrified the three female disciples nearby, who covered their mouths and gasped in surprise, looking incredulous. Su Hang had destroyed a giant tree seventy or eighty meters tall in one move; this was simply too unbelievable.

Zhou Zhiruo's small mouth was even open in an 'O' shape, staring blankly at Su Hang, her eyes flashing with brilliance, her beautiful eyes full of worship.

"Alright, don't just stand there blankly; quickly retrieve the Ice Silkworm Grass."

Seeing Zhou Zhiruo stunned there, slow to move, Su Hang reminded her.

Zhou Zhiruo stuck out her tongue playfully, only then remembering the Ice Silkworm Grass, and hurriedly took it out.

This was a purple flower, its petals crystal clear as if carved from jade, the fragrance hitting the nose, refreshing the heart and spirit.

"It really is the Ice Silkworm Grass." Zhou Zhiruo was overjoyed and carefully packed it in the bamboo basket.

"Miss Zhiruo, is this Soul-Withered Tree wood enough? If it's still lacking, I can continue to look for you," Su Hang asked.

"Mm, it should be enough." Zhou Zhiruo nodded. The growth environment for this Soul-Withered Tree wood was harsh; the entire Zhou family might not even have this thing.

Su Hang nodded and said, "If you don't mind, Miss, I am willing to share the Ice Silkworm Grass with you."

"This... this wouldn't be appropriate, would it?" Hearing Su Hang's words, Zhou Zhiruo was slightly startled.

Su Hang waved his hand. "Since I promised you, Miss, I naturally cannot break my word. This Ice Silkworm Grass has no extensive use for me. If you, Miss, can help me break through the innate bottleneck, that would be a meritorious deed."

"Big Brother Su, you..." Zhou Zhiruo nodded gratefully, then shook her head again. "However, you risked your life to come to the wilderness for me; you have already done your utmost. How can I take what you love?" ===== CHAPTER 855 =====
