The three human monks looked at the Yaksha tribe opposite them with hostility in their eyes and were reluctant to sit down.
The Yaksha tribe also looked at the human race with an unfriendly look.
The Yakshas consider themselves a higher race than humans, and having them sit at the same table with humans is nothing short of a humiliation.
The atmosphere unconsciously became cold and solemn, the situation was on the verge of breaking out, and even the noisy hall quietly quieted down.
Xu Chunniang looked in the direction of the Yaksha and the human cultivators. The resentment between the human and Yaksha tribes was deep-rooted. The Treeman King would not have failed to anticipate the current situation.
In all likelihood, she made this arrangement intentionally.
Could it be... that she wanted to intensify the conflict between the human race and the Yaksha race
Just as Xu Chunniang was hesitating, the fangs on the mask of a Yaksha in the lead curled up and spoke indifferently to the three human cultivators.
"This place has been occupied by my Yaksha tribe, go somewhere else!"
The three men had cultivated themselves to become powerful beings in the fusion stage of the human race. How could they tolerate such an insult? Their faces turned cold immediately.
If they hadn't taken the Treeman King Bairan into consideration, they would have even wanted to take action directly.
The old man in the lead stared at the Yakshas gloomily, then laughed in anger.
"Yakshas use masks to cover their faces all their lives. I think you know that Yashas are born ugly. If they don't cover their faces, they will be ashamed to be seen by others, right?"
"you!
”
Several Yakshas were indeed enraged, and their eyes were fixed on the old man through their masks, as if they wanted to poke holes in him.
"How can the human race, who is inferior, sit at the same table with us?"
As he spoke, the leading Yaksha actually took action directly, summoning the Yaksha Sky Domain, and covering the seats in front of the people in the Dharma Domain.
If the human cultivators want to take their seats, they must first break through his Yaksha Heaven Realm!
The faces of the three cultivators all changed. They were still in the palace of the Treeman King, and this Yaksha dared to attack them directly. It was too rude!
The old man pretended to be extremely angry, but he was actually thinking in his mind.
If I really fight with the Yaksha in this hall, it would be fine if I win, but it would be embarrassing if I lose.
Thinking of this, he snorted angrily, turned around and bowed to the Tree Man King Bai Ran.
"Your Excellency, this Yaksha is rude and disrespectful. We, the human cultivators, disdain to associate with him! The seven great families have conveyed their regards. Please excuse us and take our leave now."
"Wait a minute."
Bai Ran pointed at several Yakshas and a white branch grew out of her body, suddenly growing longer and gently stabbing towards the direction of the Yaksha Realm.
The seemingly stable Yaksha Sky Realm was pierced by a finger-sized branch on its back, and a huge hole was instantly created. A black aura mixed with chaos and violence poured out from the hole.
The small branch grew suddenly, and instantly turned itself into a huge net bag, catching all the chaos and violent energy.
The leading Yaksha's expression changed slightly, and he quickly put away the Yaksha Sky Domain, stood up and bowed to Bai Ran.
"We are being rude. We shouldn't have fought with the human race in the palace."
Bai Ran shook his head. "I was inconsiderate and forgot that you and the human race are not on good terms. Please take a seat first. Someone, lead the human guests to sit somewhere else."
Seeing the destruction of the Yaksha Realm, the old man felt much more relieved.
But the gifts have already been brought, and there were some unpleasantness with the Yaksha tribe, so there is no need to stay any longer.
The old man shook his head and said, "No need, we have important matters to attend to, so we will not bother you any more.
Please help me keep an eye on the matter I asked you to do before. If you can provide me with the whereabouts of that female cultivator, my seven great families will reward you handsomely!"
After saying this, the old man turned away.
The two human monks behind him also followed him and left.
Watching them walk out of the hall, Xu Chunniang felt a little relieved.
With the bark as a disguise, they didn't recognize her.
As the three people left, the conflict between them and the Yaksha tribe disappeared into thin air, and the happy atmosphere in the hall returned to normal.
The three people who left were not in a good mood.
After leaving the hall, a young man with a white face and no beard finally couldn't help it and complained to his two companions.
"This Treeman King is really going too far!"
"Shut up!"
The old man released his spiritual sense and scanned the surroundings warily.
There are seemingly ordinary plants and trees all around, and no one knows whether there are tree people hidden among them.
The old man said, "We haven't left the Treeman Kingdom yet, so we should be careful in everything we do."
The young man was somewhat unwilling, but under the old man's persuasion, he finally endured it. He dared not speak out loud, and only transmitted the message through his spiritual thoughts.
"That Treeman King clearly did it on purpose! She deliberately arranged for us to be with the Yaksha tribe so that she could laugh at our misfortune."
Another woman in palace dress frowned. "Could it be that she guessed our intentions in advance and didn't want to choose between the human race and the Yaksha tribe, so she deliberately used this method to provoke us to leave?"
The old man pondered for a moment and nodded solemnly.
“It is indeed possible. I have heard that Venerable Bai Ran is very different from other tree people. She is decisive and murderous, and she is not a brainless person.
She must have a reason for doing this.”
This time they came to the Tree People to congratulate, in addition to asking about the whereabouts of the female cultivator, they also had other important matters to attend to.
It turns out that in recent years, the Yaksha tribe in the north has begun to stir again.
I am afraid that new wars will break out within three to five years.
The three of them were ordered by the seven great families to visit Bai Ran. In addition to congratulations, they also wanted to take this opportunity to find out the attitude of the tree people towards this matter.
But looking at the current situation, they don't need to try anymore.
Judging from the Tree People's past practices, they should not interfere in this matter.
The young male cultivator shook his head, looking uneasy.
"I've said it before, the Tree People are timid and will not stand between the Humans and the Yakshas. This trip is in vain."
The woman in palace dress looked calm and was not angry at all.
“That’s not the case. The Treemen did not choose the human race, but at least they did not side with the Yaksha either. If the Treemen King sided with the Yaksha, that would be a problem.
But the venerables in my clan have calculated it clearly. The female cultivator is currently hiding in the Treeman Kingdom. There is no reason why the Treeman King would not know her whereabouts, unless... she is lying!"
The old man frowned slightly, "But this doesn't make sense. Would the high and mighty Treeman King lie for a cultivator in the Void Refinement Stage?"
The woman in palace dress and the young male cultivator looked at each other and both felt that it was unlikely.
The difference in their cultivation levels is too great. No matter how capable Xu Chunniang is, she can hardly catch the eye of the Mahayana master.
"Perhaps, the Treeman King just came out of retreat and didn't ask about such trivial matters."
After discussing it for a while, they put the matter aside and started discussing the upcoming opening of the Xu Shen Temple.
“The Void Temple is only opened once every three thousand years, and all cultivators below the Fusion Stage can enter. The last time the Void Temple was opened, our human race performed mediocrely, and we only got a hundred places to enter the Void Temple.
I hope they can perform better this time and get more places back."
