Legend of Swordsman

The nine Grand Elders each possessed 2 million units of divine power.

The eighteen Core Elders, on the other hand, had around 1.8 million divine power.

Even without considering Divine Wood King, these individuals alone were formidable enough to give them a hard time if they were to be besieged.

Things were truly dire now.

If only he had known, he wouldn’t have fled, but rather confronted Lord Hengmu directly.

He had underestimated everything.

He thought that even if Lord Hengmu wasn’t that capable, he could still lead them into the Wanliu Divine Tree.

Then, whatever schemes arose, they could still escape.

But who could have imagined that after discussing the plan for so long, it would end up being a joke?

Or perhaps, it was genuinely impossible to enter the Wanliu.

Perhaps Lord Hengmu only used this opportunity to come here as a pretext for his revival.

They had all been played.

“Divine Wood King, Lord Hengmu is right below us, he’s about to enter the Wanliu Divine Tree, why don’t you stop him?” Jian Wushuang still wanted to use Lord Hengmu’s plan to deceive Divine Wood King.

Since there was enmity between Divine Wood King and Lord Hengmu, he must have been aware of Lord Hengmu’s entry into the Wanliu.

It would be perfect to let the two of them fight first.

But as soon as he said it, it only drew laughter from Divine Wood King.

He looked at him as if he were a fool.

“I’ve has guarded the Wanliu for countless eons, and this is the first time I’ve heard such a ridiculous thing!”

Divine Wood King gestured for a few of the supreme elders behind him to go and take a look, then he turned to Jian Wushuang and said, “Don’t bring up such childish matters to deceive me. Entering the Wanliu isn’t as simple as you think. You possess the complete power of innate life, yet you’re still so naive. Why collaborate with that waste of space, Lord Hengmu, instead of coming to me?”

“Come to you!” Jian Wushuang thought to himself, “That would only lead to a quicker death.”

He wanted to roll his eyes, but he didn’t dare.

The other party had just exposed his plan in an instant.

Just as Divine Wood King said.

Having guarded the Wanliu for countless eons, no one knew the Wanliu Divine Tree better than him.

It couldn’t be as simple as Lord Hengmu had described.

Just enter and that’s it.

Who did they take the Wanliu for?

Divine Wood King had been guarding the Wanliu for so many years; he probably had thoroughly explored the outskirts.

This place probably knew as well.

If they really could enter from here, he would have already done so.

It required the power of innate life, and if necessary, a blood sacrifice would suffice.

Although it required a significant amount, the Ancient Wood Sect controlled so many wild worlds.

If they pooled their resources, they could manage.

Why didn’t they do that?

Jian Wushuang cursed his own foolishness; he should have thought of it before entering.

Back then, he might have had hope if he had fled.

But now!

It was much more difficult.

“Jian Wushuang, there are two paths before you now. First, follow me back to the Ancient Wood Sect, and I can make you the sect leader, equal to me. Second, take down Lord Hengmu, help me recover a treasure, and I’ll take you into the Wanliu. There’s only one chance; you need to think carefully before you answer!”

Divine Wood King transmitted his message to him.

It meant that neither of these things was meant to be known to outsiders.

And both of these choices required siding with the Divine Wood King.

Wasn’t that equivalent to having no choice at all?

Jian Wushuang was torn!

At this moment, Divine Wood King spoke again, loudly, “Even without you, I can achieve the second option, but it will take some time. You’ve only wasted a continuous stream of Life power. I suggest you choose the latter, and I can swear an oath to ensure your safety. You can walk sideways on the Ancient Wood Continent!”

An oath!

This time, Jian Wushuang was intrigued.

By expending some Life power, he could enter the Wanliu Willows.

Wasn’t this the same as Hengmu’s previous plan?

It was just some Life force, which meant nothing to him.

And it could also guarantee his safety.

This condition sounded much stronger than Hengmu’s.

Moreover, the words of Divine Wood King were convincing.

Just as he was about to agree, a tremendous aura erupted from the valley below.

Boom!

After a loud noise,

The several elders of the Ancient Wood Sect who had entered the valley earlier all returned in

a sorry state.

Following them was a terrifying savage beast.

“Zuo Yehui!” Jian Wushuang and Divine Wood King said the name simultaneously.

This was the statue that had just been revived by Lord Hengmu.

Divine Wood King turned to Jian Wushuang and hurriedly asked, “How much Life force did

you inject into the altar?”

This question stumped him.

For a moment, he couldn’t calculate how much!

He could only vaguely say, “It’s enough to revive a dying Eighth Tribulation realm!”

“You’re quite daring. Haven’t you noticed anything suspicious about this place?” Divine

Wood King admired Jian Wushuang’s courage.

He had long noticed something odd about this place.

It happened after Lord Hengmu left the Wanliu Willow Divine Tree.

These statues were originally living beings.

And they were the life within the Wanliu Divine Tree.

They were brought out by Lord Hengmu.

After bringing them out, Lord Hengmu used the altar to absorb all the Life force of these

savage beasts into his own body.

That’s why these powerful savage beasts turned into statues.

Now, Lord Hengmu’s plan was not to enter the Wanliu Divine Tree but to revive these statues

and seek revenge on Divine Wood King.

Divine Wood King was also wary of this point. He immediately asked, “Has You Yebai and that

monk also been revived?”

“Not yet!” Jian Wushuang thought for a moment.

One carving on each side of the altar.

On top of the altar, there was also a bare-chested wooden monk.

These two remained motionless.

Seeing the expression of Divine Wood King, it was evident that he was wary of these statues.

“Fortunately, it’s just a Zuo Yehui. I can handle it. If the You Yebai and that old monk were also revived, you would be in big trouble. It seems your Life force is indeed extraordinary. You managed to revive Zuo Yehui in such a short time!” Divine Wood King’s complexion eased a bit, not forgetting to praise Jian Wushuang’s Life force.

Zuo Yehui rose into the air, but after floating in mid-air, he transformed into a human form, dressed in gray, with a stony face. With a roll of his eyes, he finally revealed a trace of white eyeballs, scanning everyone and stopping on Divine Wood King.

“Have you been spying on us all these years?”

Divine Wood King nodded and said indifferently, “Indeed, you guys who were dug out of the

Wanliu Willows must be kept an eye on. Otherwise, if you cause any trouble, it wouldn’t be

easy for me to deal with!”

“Do you think it can end now?” Zuo Yehui’s figure shook, instantly appearing in front of

Divine Wood King.

He started attacking halfway through his words.

No wonder Divine Wood King had them retreat first.

The two’s confrontation was intense.

Fortunately, this was a divine realm. Otherwise, one blow could destroy everything here.

But even so, half the valley was still destroyed.
