Chapter 974 - 960: Grudges

"Haha, these fools, they actually left their tribe, kill them for me."

"Kill them all."

The faces of the High Priest and others changed dramatically, and they began to retaliate swiftly.

But arrows kept coming relentlessly.

Some arrows were even shot at Mei Qingchen.

With a gentle wave of Mei Qingchen’s sleeve, all these arrows fell to the ground, unable to touch his sleeve.

The High Priest quickly explained, "These Beastmen are Youluo Tree Beastmen. Because they’ve sided with the Phoenix Tree Beastmen, their actions have become increasingly arrogant and oppressive, harming Beastmen of other tribes."

Another Mo Rong Clan Beastman angrily said, "Youluo Tree Beastmen are the most cold and heartless. I heard that the Young Master of the Youluo Tree once betrayed his fiancée, fell in love with a female of the Thorn Flower Clan, and even killed his former fiancée, who was a pureblood female of the Golden Lotus Clan..."

They all only recently fell into this place, so back in the Ancestor Land Tribe, they were aware of some news from other clans.

Mainly because the Lotus Clan is a top-tier clan of plant-type Beastmen, and the matter between the Young Master Youluo Tree and the pureblood female of the Golden Lotus Clan spread across all major tribes and persisted for a long time.

Since then, the Youluo Tree Beastmen began to decline, siding with the Vine Clan.

Mei Qingchen was naturally familiar with the Youluo Tree Beastmen; his eyes filled with a bloodthirsty killing intent.

Back then, he was affected by Youluo Fragrance and nearly controlled, and it was related to the Youluo Tree Beastmen.

Furthermore, the remaining spirits of the Youluo Tree Beastmen harbored malicious intent when they were interrogated, desiring possession.

If it weren’t for Shen Ci’an seeing through it, who knows what might have happened.

"Swish swish swish..."

The Youluo Tree Beastmen were still shooting arrows.

Not only that, they also released many hidden weapons, attacking them.

The Mo Rong Clan Beastmen released their superpower, some unleashing countless branches to knock down these hidden weapons and arrows.

It’s just that the enemies were numerous, black feathered arrows accompanied by a fierce wind shot out from all directions, the arrow tips gleaming coldly, carrying the power of superpowers.

Precisely locking onto all the positions where the Mo Rong Clan Beastmen could dodge.

The force of the arrows was swift, killing intent pervaded the area, leaving no room for reaction.

"Be sure to kill them, don’t let them go back."

"Finally, after waiting for them to come out, we cannot let them return."

Those Youluo Tree Beastmen approached with chilling killing intent, their attacks extremely ruthless.

Several Mo Rong Clan Beastmen were injured and fell to the ground.

Some Youluo Tree Beastmen even shot arrows and released hidden weapons towards the trees, somehow discovering Su Muyao’s location.

Mei Qingchen’s eyes surged with killing intent; his fingers gently moved.

Only the sound of "buzz..." was heard.

A vast and majestic aura of superpower burst from around him.

This golden power was clear and domineering, like a long-dormant abyss suddenly awakening, sweeping through the entire forest.

Visible golden energy ripples spread from him as the center, causing the surrounding air currents to tremble violently.

Those arrows and hidden weapons froze mid-air the moment they touched this superpower barrier.

The rapid inertia was instantly dispelled, the sturdy arrow shafts trembled violently, the cold gleam at the arrow tips flickering.

In just a moment, these feathered arrows and hidden weapons collectively reversed their direction.

The sound of breaking through the air resounded again.

The feathered arrows that reversed direction were faster than before, following the trajectory they came from, shooting towards the Youluo Tree Beastmen in the dense forest with precise accuracy.

The pupils of the Youluo Tree Beastmen hidden in the dark shrank suddenly, their faces filled with shock, their entire bodies chilled to the bone.

Some couldn’t even react in time, being pierced by their own arrows and hidden weapons.

"Ah..."

"Ah..."

The shrill screams echoed through the deep mountain forest, one after another, piercing and ear-splitting.

The surviving Youluo Tree Beastmen reacted and hurriedly shouted, "Retreat!"

They didn’t understand when these Mo Rong Clan Beastmen had gained a master.

Little did they know Mei Qingchen, after forming a contract with Su Muyao, had vanished animal backlash, and his physical superpower surged.

Especially the Golden Lotus bloodline exerting power, allowing the Inheritance Power to be unleashed.

Su Muyao in the tree saw it, just about to use her superpower, but before she could act, Mei Qingchen had already dealt with it.

"Mei Qingchen’s strength has increased."

"Those plant-type Beastmen specialize in hidden weapon attacks."

Previously, when entering likely Fusang Forest with Shen Jinsuo, there were countless hidden weapon traps.

The system spoke, "Host, Mei Qingchen might have awakened the Golden Lotus Power, the energy just now was golden and very strong and holy."

At this moment, Mei Qingchen had already disappeared from the original spot like a streak of light, tracking those Youluo Tree Beastmen.

"Didn’t expect to encounter Youluo Tree Beastmen here."

Su Muyao also deeply hated the Youluo Tree Beastmen.

Mei Qingchen’s ancestor, Jin Lianrong, was killed by the Youluo Tree Beastmen and the Thorn Flower Clan’s Ci Xiang.

Mei Qingchen’s original Youluo Fragrance was also planted by the Youluo Tree Beastmen.

So they all deserved death.

She wanted to go down and kill them.

But considering her own body and the little ones, she refrained from impulsively rushing into danger.

Believing in Mei Qingchen’s current abilities, he would be able to handle them.

Mei Qingchen soon killed the escaping Youluo Tree Beastmen.

He returned and immediately arrived at the tree.

"Are you okay?"

Mei Qingchen was most worried about Su Muyao.

Su Muyao shook her head and said, "I’m fine, are the Youluo Tree Beastmen all dealt with?"

Mei Qingchen nodded, "Yes, they’re all dealt with. I wanted to capture one alive, but it self-destructed."

"They have Youluo Fragrance inside them, it’s a magic technique. When their lives are threatened, the speed of self-destruction is very fast."

Su Muyao spoke, "Let’s not dwell on these first, let’s go down and see what’s going on with those Mo Rong Clan Beastmen."

After ensuring Su Muyao was fine, Mei Qingchen descended the tree with her.

Because Mei Qingchen acted in time, only a few Mo Rong Clan Beastmen were injured, with no life-threatening issues.

Su Muyao used her Wood Element Ability to heal their injuries.

"This... this is the legendary Healing Ability, so... so unbelievable."

"No, it’s Wood Element Ability."

Su Muyao looked at their shocked expressions and said, "You haven’t seen this ability before?"

The High Priest shook his head, "No, this ability, I heard, only Animal Beastmen have."

Mei Qingchen asked, "Then how do you heal injuries?"

The High Priest said, "We have a Healing Holy Pool in our Ancestor Land that can heal some injuries. After drinking some medicinal treatments, injuries usually heal."

"But it takes a certain amount of time, especially if the injuries are too severe, it doesn’t work."

"It’s said that Wood Element Ability is the ability granted by Heavenly Dao, and only those protected by Heavenly Dao will awaken such an ability."

As he spoke, the High Priest once again knelt down, "Greetings to Holy Female, thank you Holy Female for saving my clansmen."

Other Mo Rong Clan Beastmen also knelt and thanked Su Muyao and Mei Qingchen.

Su Muyao asked, "What’s the deal with those Youluo Tree Beastmen?"

"Why are they attacking you like this?"

The High Priest sighed, "Several years ago, the earth in our Ancestor Land shook, and the Youluo Tree Beastmen also fell into this place. But we first discovered a place suitable for habitation. Strangely, giant beasts don’t approach that place, so it’s safer to live there. Those Youluo Tree Beastmen want to occupy our current place, they’ve been trying to kill us."

"But our current residence is defended very strictly, they can’t succeed."

"This time, it was to find the Holy Female that we ventured so far and were discovered."

"Moreover, our Mo Rong Clan has a grudge with the Youluo Tree Clan, which traces back to previous times and is also related to the Wutong Tree Clan."
