Chapter 217 The War Part VII
Hong Chen Army
“Brother Chen!” Hong Li exclaimed as he rode his horse to his brother’s side. “We are in serious trouble, Brother Chen. Our two troop groups moving east and west of the city have been annihilated.”
“What did you just say, Brother?” Hong Chen exclaimed in shock upon hearing the news, Hong Li then repeated his words again, Hong Chen’s face darkened, as he took a deep breath of air. “Who did it?”
Hong Li immediately explained. “In the west, there are two young female cultivators helping General Mang’s army. And in the east, there is a blue-haired woman who froze our entire army there.”
“Do you recognize their identity, Brother?” Hong Chen asked with a frown.
“I don’t recognize the blue-haired woman, but those two young female cultivators are assassins from the Luo Main Family, Brother.” Hong Li answered him directly.
“Huo Kingdom’s Luo Main Family? Why are they interfering with our war? Are they cooperating with Zhu Yuhe?” Hong Chen wondered to himself, but suddenly they heard the screams of soldiers from the front row. “What is happening right now?”
“E… Emperor! The Golden-Tailed Scorpion Beast hordes are attacking the vanguard! And… and the Golden-Tailed Scorpion King is leading them.” A soldier reported as he panted heavily.
Hong Chen and Hong Li frowned upon hearing that, both of them flew to the very front quickly. When they arrived at the front, they could see that many of their troops were rapidly decaying, it was because the poison of the Golden-Tailed Scorpion Beast was very strong and deadly, moreover they were ordinary troops.
“Golden-Tailed Scorpion King!” Hong Chen shouted furiously, as he clenched his fists tightly, then he mustered up his energy, and attacked the scorpion king.
*BAM*
The Golden-Tailed Scorpion King was knocked back by Hong Chen’s powerful attack, but he immediately stabilized himself, and sprayed his poison straight at Hong Chen.
“Humph!” Hong Chen snorted as he waved his hand, the Golden-Tailed Scorpion King’s poison was repelled by him, and it hit the trees on the side, the trees that were hit by the poison instantly died and decayed rapidly.
‘Shit! Even though he’s an ordinary human, but this guy is very strong!’ the Golden-Tailed Scorpion King inwardly cursed, he was at a crossroads to continue attacking Hong Chen or retreat with his people, but suddenly he received a voice transmission.
‘If you dare to escape now, then I will definitely slaughter your race straight away.’
The Golden-Tailed Scorpion King gritted his teeth at Xia Tian’s words, and it put him in a dilemma. If they kept attacking Hong Chen then they would definitely die, but if they retreated then Xia Tian would slaughter them.
*BAM!*
Just as he was thinking, Hong Chen had attacked him again. The Golden-Tailed Scorpion King was knocked back again, and he was smashed into the large tree behind him.
Hong Chen hovered above the Golden-Tailed Scorpion King, and stared at him coldly. “What are you doing in this place? Why did you leave your cave and bother us? If you don’t give me a satisfactory answer, then I will slaughter all of you right now.”
The Golden-Tailed Scorpion King could only stare at Hong Chen while holding back the pain in his body, because Hong Chen’s last attack was very strong, but he didn’t answer Hong Chen’s question, and sent a signal to his people.
Hong Chen raised his eyebrows when he heard his warrior cry, as the Golden-Tailed Scorpion Beasts grew wilder, he then glared at the scorpian king. “You really made a bad choice! Then- Guah!”
The Golden-Tailed Scorpion King was dumbfounded as Hong Chen was suddenly sent flying backwards very far. In the next second, five huge tree creatures walked past him chasing Hong Chen, and many tree roots also spread out on the ground attacking Hong Chen’s army.
‘What’s going on here? Who controls them?’ The Golden-Tailed Scorpion King wondered in his heart, but he also breathed a sigh of relief by their help, otherwise he would have died by Hong Chen’s hands. Without a second thought, he started to spray his poison towards Hong Chen again.
“Fuck! Where did this tree creatures come from!?” Hong Chen cursed as he faced the five tree creatures, and he also still had to dodge the Golden-Tailed Scorpion King’s poison.
Hong Li, who was helping the front line troops, began to struggle to deal with the Golden-Tailed Scorpion Beast, plus the tree roots’ attacks. ‘Crap! How did the situation become like this? Moreover, these tree roots are so strong!’

Xia Tian Location
Alice laughed heartily as she looked at the five tree creatures, as well as the tree’s roots. Since she had been with Long Tian for a long time, naturally she knew the owner of the technique. [Ha ha ha! They have arrived, Master! But they deliberately hide themselves from you.]
‘En.’ Xia Tian nodded with a smile. ‘This must be Little Ying’s doing, since only she and Quexian have this technique, but there’s no way Quexian can summon tree minions of that size with her current cultivation.’
[Hehe, it seems that Elf Queen also came to this planet, Master.]
Xia Tian shuddered as Alice said that, and he sighed softly. ‘Can you find their location, Alice?’ 𝘰𝑣𝘭.𝗇𝓔t
[I’ve tried to track them down, but I can’t find them.]
“Did the Elf Race do that, Master?” He Shiyun suddenly asked him, because she saw a similar technique in the memories that Xia Tian gave her before.
Chen Luan raised her eyebrows. “Elf race? Does the Elf race really exist?”
“Only the Elf race can summon tree minions, and also control trees like that.” Xia Tian replied as he turned to them, he then looked up at the sky, and muttered to himself. “But they deliberately hid themselves from me.”
“How did you come to know the Elf race, Xia Tian?” Chen Luan felt even more confused with Xia Tian, his previous words had already confused her, and judging by his current expression, it clearly showed that he was well acquainted with races that she had only heard of in legends.
Xia Tian smiled mysteriously at her. “The universe holds many mysteries, and there are many other worlds out there, as well as races you’ve never met before, Chen Luan.”
