"Hmph, let's see where you can escape."
With an angry roar, the old tree demon, Old Man Zimmer, controlled more tree roots to attack us.
Those tree roots were like sharp spears, carrying a demonic aura and making rubbing sounds.
"Elder Ma, snake demon, you come to me first."
Elder Ma understood what I meant, but the snake demon asked me tremblingly: "Master, you have mastered that powerful spiritual energy, why don't you use it?"
I rolled my eyes at it and said solemnly, "Stop talking nonsense, stay out of my business, and come here."
The snake demon came to me quickly.
At the same time, I released the pure Yang aura in my body. However, the spiritual energy in the pure Yang aura was compressed by me and was not offensive, it just protected our bodies temporarily.
More and more tree roots came around, but spiritual energy had a strong inhibitory effect on evil spirits, so those tree roots dared not advance an inch and could only wrap us up in three layers inside and outside.
The dense tree roots are like a ball of thread, completely blocking our view.
The old tree demon who controlled the tree roots didn't know what was going on, and said sarcastically, "Human, I told you not to meddle in other people's business, but now you are trapped by me. Let's see where you can escape."
"Also, Qingyun, this time, if I capture you, your great-grandmother will definitely give you the most severe punishment! The tribe members will not let you go either."
We stand in a space wrapped by tree roots.
The old tree demon's words made the snake demon Qingyun's face change drastically, turning pale blue.
"What should I do? Taoist priest, I can't be captured and taken to the garrison, otherwise, my life will be in danger. Moreover, I have harmed people in the outside world, and my grandmother will definitely be able to sense the human death energy in me. When the time comes, I will definitely die."
“Woo woo—”
As she was talking, the frightened snake demon Qingyun began to sob, and the sound of her crying made me feel upset.
"Okay, stop crying. It's just a demon king. I, Yang Tianyi, can still deal with it. Besides, you did something wrong. Do you still want to live a good life? If so, the world will be in chaos."
After being yelled at by me, the snake demon Qingyun stood aside, lowered her head, and looked very pitiful. But I knew that this snake demon did not deserve pity. The fact that it chose to harm people in order to improve its own cultivation was enough for it to die.
But I softened my tone and said to it, "Don't worry, I will protect your life even if you get to the base."
After hearing what I said, although her face turned pale, the snake demon Qingyun still bowed and thanked me, "Thank you, Taoist priest, for your help."
I snorted coldly and said nothing more.
Outside.
The old tree demon, old man Zimmer, looked at the bunch of tree roots, and the corners of his wrinkled mouth curled up slightly.
Then, its trunk began to move, dragging its roots and began to move towards the depths of the dense forest.
I sensed it and felt happy in my heart. I knew that the old tree demon was taking us to the ancient demon clan’s base.
Hehe, this is my strategy, playing hard to get, in fact, is to go deep into the tiger's den. It can avoid some unnecessary trouble.
As expected, many monsters appeared on the way the old tree monster took us to the monster tribe’s base.
The strength of those monsters is mostly at the level of great monsters. However, I can also sense that the spiritual energy on them is very weak, which should be absorbed from the spiritual stone.
There were also a few big monsters who had a good relationship with the old tree monster and wanted to watch the fun, so they followed behind the old tree monster.
On the ground, the tree roots were dragged, leaving a shallow mark.
Time passes slowly.
Soon, two incense sticks of time passed.
With a "whoosh", the old tree demon finally stopped dragging the tree roots.
"Go and report to the Huangqi Monster King, and tell him that I, Old Man Jime, have captured the snake monster Qingyun, and two others have broken into our ancient
Humans from the demon race space."
"Yes, Lord Tree Demon, I will report this to the Huangqi Demon King right away."
For a moment, this place became a mess.
Many big and small demons came up and talked at once. Many demon tribesmen complained about the crime of the snake demon Qingyun who had left the ancient demon tribe space without permission.
Although the tree roots form a package, there are still gaps.
The outside air flowed in through the gaps, and I could smell a lot of strange odors.
There is no need to think, the smell is coming from those monsters.
After about seven or eight minutes, a voice came: "Where is Qingyun?"
The voice sounded very old, it was the voice of an old woman.
In the spherical space at the root of the tree, the snake demon Qingyun looked ashen and said in fear: "My great-grandmother, the Huangqi Demon King, is here. That was its voice... Taoist priest, you must save me. I don't want to die. I beg you."
The snake demon Qingyun twisted her body and rubbed her plump breasts against my elbow.
I have to say, after it transforms into a human form, its body is indeed very attractive to men.
But knowing that it was a monster, my interest in it disappeared.
"Okay, stop crying. And don't try to confuse me. I'm not interested in you. I just said that I will save your life, and I will do it."
A look of resentment emerged in the eyes of the snake demon Qingyun, but after hearing what I said, it felt a little more at ease.
"Jimer, you said Qingyun was captured by you, where is it?" asked the Demon King Huangqi in a deep voice.
The evil aura on the body of the Huangqi Demon King slowly dissipated, revealing its appearance.
Elder Jimer quickly replied, "Master Demon King, Qingyun has been trapped by my tree roots, in the tree cluster behind. In addition, I also captured two humans from the outside world. They were brought in by Qingyun, and they probably have bad intentions towards our ancient demon clan."
Damn it, this old tree demon actually said that, it’s really... nonsense!
"Humans from the outside world? ... Okay, I get it. You should get rid of the demonic energy first and let them out. Now in the residence of our ancient demon clan, even Qingyun dare not mess around. If it messes around, I will kill it immediately."
"Yes, Lord Demon King."
The old tree demon still looked very respectful.
Then, it opened its mouth and absorbed all the evil spirit on the tree roots into its mouth.
Soon, the branches above the ball formed by the roots began to retract rapidly.
Soon, the tree roots retreated back to the old tree demon and penetrated into the ground.
I looked around and found that there were more than a hundred monsters everywhere. They all looked annoyed and stared at me coldly.
In the distance, there is a stone mountain with a wooden attic on it.
The attic at the top was filled with demonic energy. I sensed it and determined that the central hub of the demon clan's divine map fragments was in the top attic.
Right in front of me is the Huangqi Demon King.
The human form of the demon king was that of an old lady. The old lady's clothes were not gorgeous, but compared to other demons who transformed into human forms, they were quite luxurious.
However, I noticed that the Huangqi Demon King was dragging a long tail behind him, and the scales on the tail were glowing purple-red.
The demonic aura on it is very strong, no wonder it is a demon king. It is much more powerful than other small and big demons.
"Qingyun, do you admit your guilt?"
The corner of Huangqi Demon King's mouth moved slightly, and he opened his mouth to ask.
The snake demon Qingyun next to me knelt on the ground with a bang and said hurriedly: "Grandma, Qingyun knows her crime. I hope you can spare her life. Qingyun swears that she will never leave the ancient demon clan again. If she breaks this oath, she will die miserably."
"Hmph, do you think I will forgive you? If I forgive you, what will the other tribesmen think? Qing'er, in the end, you are still wrong.
You also know the rules of the demon tribe. But you deliberately violated them. Even if I, your grandmother, can forgive you, other tribe members will not forgive you. "
"So, there is no need for you to live anymore."
The Huangqi Demon King shook his head, with helplessness on his old face.
"But Grandma Qingyun really knows she is wrong, please forgive me..."
The snake demon Qingyun was still begging, banging her head on the ground.
However, the Huangqi Demon King didn't even look at it and said bluntly: "I can't protect you either."
Having said this, the Huangqi Demon King ordered the other demon tribe members, "Catch it first, and then destroy its cultivation, and then give it the Huangling Powder."
Huanglingsan is a poison used by demons.
Hearing what the Demon King Huangqi said, the snake demon Qingyun's face turned even paler. In an instant, it seemed as if the entire "person" had lost a lot of weight.
"Grandma..."
The members of the ancient demon tribe who were waiting came towards us one after another.
Among them are rat demons, snake demons, wolf demons, fox demons, hedgehog demons... ... and so on. There are quite a lot of monsters in terms of number and types.
"Hehe, Qingyun, you have brought trouble upon yourself. You have violated the rules of the ancient demon race. No one can save you."
"At the beginning, you and I were sisters. I was really blind. I didn't expect that you had ulterior motives. Not only did you sneak out of the ancient demon tribe, but you also brought two humans into the fragments of the divine map. Tell me, do you want to harm the entire demon tribe?"
"How sad! If you hadn't made any mistakes, you would have been able to control a lot of the demon tribe members in the ancient demon tribe. But now, one wrong step will lead to another. You no longer have a chance."
The demon tribe members kept scolding and slandering her, putting the snake demon Qingyun in an irretrievable situation.
I was standing by and felt a little sympathy for the snake demon Qingyun.
But sympathy is sympathy, it hurt people, this is a big mistake, it is inevitable to pay with people's lives. But after all, I promised it that I would save its life.
A fox demon woman sneered, shook her fluffy fox tail, and slowly approached Qingyun.
"Sister, grandma loved you the most. I never expected that you would make such a big mistake. You can't blame anyone else. I will abolish your cultivation right now."
After saying that, the fox demon woman's palm turned into a claw, and she grabbed the snake demon Qingyun with a little demonic energy.
"Stop it, get out of my way!"
I roared angrily, took out my magic sword, and swung it fiercely towards the outside.
I poured plenty of spiritual energy into the magic sword.
Under the stimulation of spiritual energy, the magic sword formed a red and white beam of light, sweeping towards the outside.
"Ah! ... The spiritual energy in your sword is so rich, how is this possible?"
The fox demon wanted to retract its claws, but it was too late and blood was already on its claws.
Red blood dripped onto the ground along the wound on the claw.
The other demon tribe members who were approaching me were all stunned, and then, waves of demonic energy rose up.
Although the demonic energy they carry is not very strong, the oppressive force they form together is still very powerful.
For a moment, evil spirit filled the air all around us, and the flow of air became sluggish.
I snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "You overestimate your own abilities."
After saying that, my body shook, and a large amount of spiritual energy surged out, immediately releasing the pure yang aura in my body.
The appearance of the Pure Yang aura directly offset the pressure created by the demonic energy. Many weaker members of the demon tribe, under the pressure of the Pure Yang aura, bent their bodies and fell to the ground.
"It's spiritual energy, and it's so pure... Human, who are you, and why do you have such pure spiritual energy?"
The Huangqi demon king noticed me and asked me. He looked me up and down with burning eyes.
However, I saw desire and expectation in the eyes of the Huangqi Demon King.
