98: Aoki Genyu, Wood Armor

The Qingmu Clan, originally, should have been lush with green trees.

However, at this moment, it was scarred and devastated, clearly having experienced a great battle.

And in the deepest part of the Qingmu Clan, at this moment, countless eyes converged on a peerless figure in a green robe.

It was this person who, with the cultivation of the Fish Leap Realm, drew down the Lightning Tribulation to suppress the three great Yao Race Demon Kings.

However, just when Elder Ke Zhen'e of the clan thought this young man had only won by relying on external forces and trickery...

That incredibly stunning sword light...

With just one sword strike, it instantly killed Elder Ke Zhen'e.

Terrifying!

"Is Miss Mu's statement true?"

Upon hearing this, Li Luo's voice revealed a hint of pleasant surprise.

Mu Wanqing's slender, willow-like eyebrows subtly twitched; ever since this Prodigy young man first appeared, he had maintained a calm and composed demeanor.

At this moment, hearing about the holy spirit wood embryo, he for the first time showed a trace of excitement.

In the distance, Immortal Revered Master Guanlan, the beautiful woman in Daoist robes, had a glimmer of surprise in her watery eyes.

She seemed to know Li Luo's little secret, and a slight thrill stirred within her.

Furthermore,

She knew that Li Luo acquiring this holy spirit wood embryo was for the purpose of restoring his disciple's girlfriend's Physical Body.

This Revered Master was simply too hardcore.

Moreover, he was very loyal, responsible, and dependable.

This caused her heart to ripple, as if it had been ruffled by a spring breeze, forming circles of ripples.

"Naturally, it is true, and besides, who in my Qingmu Clan can stop Young Master now?"

Mu Wanqing's eyes sparkled with intelligent light.

Uh...

Although what she said was correct...

However, Li Luo always subdued people with virtue; he naturally disliked bullying or anything of the sort.

"I won't take this for free, Miss Mu can name a price, and I am willing to pay an equivalent amount."

Li Luo added.

Upon hearing this,

Those members of the Qingmu Clan whose faces still bore traces of sorrow and anger, their gazes towards Li Luo truly changed.

He was different.

He was absolutely different from the several Demon Kings under the Taotie Emperor.

"Hehe, Young Master, you're being too formal. Since you are Lanlan's friend, you are my Mu Wanqing's friend."

"This time, you saved my Qingmu Clan from peril and even helped my clan eliminate the internal tumor."

"Now, no one can stop me from taking over the Qingmu Clan, so, my territory, I make the decisions."

Mu Wanqing said domineeringly.

Li Luo looked deeply at Mu Wanqing.

This woman was decisive and understanding, wise and unrestrained, truly extraordinary.

"In fact, I can even offer Young Master an opportunity to absorb another supreme treasure of my clan, the Qingmu Source Liquid."

"I only ask for one promise."

In Mu Wanqing's beautiful eyes, a hint of resilience that captivated one's heart shone through her delicate demeanor.

"Tell me."

Li Luo frowned slightly.

He was a man who kept his promises.

He would not make promises easily.

Therefore, he was quite cautious.

"I hope that one day, if my clan falls into danger, we can attach ourselves to Young Master."

Mu Wanqing said.

Whoosh, whoosh~~

However, as Mu Wanqing's words fell.

The leaves of many of the Qingmu Clan's Elders around them rustled wildly.

Clearly, this indicated their restless hearts.

To submit to a Human Race.

This was simply unacceptable for the Yao Race of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

However, after a brief moment of agitation,

They all fell silent.

The Qingmu Clan's lifespan was incredibly long, and naturally, they had witnessed countless years of plant prosperity and decline, and the rise and fall of Dynasties.

They saw many things more clearly.

Now, there was no doubt that their Qingmu Clan had thoroughly offended the Taotie Emperor.

Even if it wasn't their Qingmu Clan that had suppressed the several Demon Kings, there was no doubt that, given the Taotie Emperor's vengeful nature,

It was highly probable that he would vent his anger on their Qingmu Clan once his injuries recovered.

And without a doubt, the Young Clan Chief's action was a precautionary measure.

To completely abandon their identity as a Yao Race of the Ten Thousand Mountains and become a Human Race vassal.

This would undoubtedly be scorned and despised by countless Yao Race members.

However, this young man before them was a terrifying Prodigy capable of triggering Heavenly Tribulation.

If he were to grow, there might even be a glimmer of hope for him to contend on the Emperor Road.

If their Qingmu Clan were to become vassals of such a terrifying powerhouse, it would definitely become a beautiful tale.

After all,

Even the Dragon Clan and Phoenix, at the pinnacle of the Yao Race, had experiences of becoming mounts or battle pets for Human Race Great Emperors.

However,

Li Luo was simply too weak at the moment.

This was undoubtedly a gamble with the future of their Qingmu Clan.

However, after some thought, these Elders couldn't help but admire Mu Wanqing, the Young Clan Chief.

After all, this move showed great courage.

"Alright, I promise."

Li Luo nodded.

Firstly, this Qingmu Clan was a formidable fighting force, and moreover, the place where they stood could absorb a continuous stream of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

If they were to surround the Haoran Sect, it would greatly benefit the Haoran Sect.

"Good."

"This is the holy spirit wood embryo, Young Master, please accept it."

Upon hearing Li Luo's promise, Mu Wanqing revealed a pure and beautiful smile, as if she were a completely different person from the intelligent young woman she had been moments before.

Thump, thump!

The next moment, from within Mu Wanqing's body, a head-sized wood embryo, completely emerald green and even pulsating like a heart, appeared.

A rich wood-attribute essence, as the wood embryo flew towards Li Luo, along its path,

Nourished by it, vegetation grew wildly.

Many members of the Qingmu Clan, looking at this object, were also filled with fervent desire.

However, no one dared to act.

Li Luo's eyes narrowed; this object was flawless emerald, absolutely countless times more beautiful than the imperial green jade on Blue Star.

Even, after handing over this holy spirit wood embryo, Mu Wanqing's pretty face turned slightly pale.

"Thank you."

Li Luo showed no pretense; his disciple Sword Dust needed it.

So, he would get it for him, it was that simple.

"Young Master, please follow me, I will take you to obtain the Qingmu Source Liquid."

Mu Wanqing said.

Li Luo nodded, Immortal Revered Master Guanlan followed, and some Elders of the Qingmu Clan also came along.

As for the other members of the Qingmu Clan, they were responsible for cleaning up the battlefield and recuperating.

The group arrived before an ancient, towering tree.

This colossal tree was immense.

The thickness of its trunk alone was probably as large as a basketball court.

Even though Li Luo was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but gasp at this moment.

Seeing this ancient tree, Mu Wanqing's beautiful eyes were slightly red, and Immortal Revered Master Guanlan supported her.

"After every generation of super powerhouses in my Qingmu Clan passes away, they dissolve into this mother plant, transforming into Qingmu Source Liquid to nourish the growth of our clan's Prodigies and Geniuses."

Mu Wanqing introduced.

Li Luo fell silent.

Fallen petals are not heartless things, transforming into spring mud to protect the flowers even more.

He thought of a poem.

Whoosh.

Having stabilized her emotions, Mu Wanqing waved her delicate hand.

Creak, creak, creak~~

The intricately intertwined roots of the mother plant slowly opened, as if a door had been revealed.

Immediately, an astonishing wood Qi surged forth from within.

Through the intricately intertwined roots, Li Luo seemed to see a green lake, with a misty green haze, dreamlike and illusory.

"Please."

Mu Wanqing said.

Li Luo did not stand on ceremony; he was unwilling to miss any opportunity to become stronger.

His figure flashed, and he entered the mother plant.

"Wanqing, do you think he can cultivate the Wood Armor?"

Immortal Revered Master Guanlan murmured, gazing at the spot where the handsome figure had disappeared.

"I don't know. After all, it has been over a thousand years since a clan member capable of condensing Wood Armor appeared in my Qingmu Clan."

Although Li Luo was a Prodigy, Mu Wanqing did not believe he could succeed.
