Chapter 2740 - 2739: The Laurel Tree Has Fallen

Chapter 2740: Chapter 2739: The Laurel Tree Has Fallen

The Yin Malevolence Qi in the cave was completely consumed by the whirlpool in the center.

The surrounding temperature immediately rose a bit, and the dense fog formed by the Yin Qi also dissipated completely.

Jiufeng stared blankly at the center, as if she had discovered something. Only she couldn’t be sure, and the giant shadow in the central position disappeared without a trace.

Long Fei took the Primordial Spirit of Prince Boliang, put away his Bamboo Stick, and returned to the top of the Chaos Green Lotus.

Jiufeng, full of curiosity, glared at him and said, "What did you do, devoured all these corpses?"

There were tens of millions of corpses in this cave.

That sword of Prince Boliang’s, although it used a lot of corpses’ Essence, still left the physical bodies intact.

In such a short period, these tens of millions of corpses were completely devoured.

Even Jiufeng couldn’t help but feel chilled.

Long Fei chuckled lightly with her, "Just now the Reincarnation Gate opened, and these corpses were all devoured into it, nothing special."

Jiufeng rolled her eyes at him and said, "Stop fooling me. The Six Paths of Reincarnation only devour Primordial Spirits. Since when did it start devouring corpses too? Just now, I clearly saw a shadow inside. Was it your avatar? You ate so many corpses in one go, what demonic technique are you practicing?"

"You will find out about this later!"

Long Fei didn’t want to explain too much, just patted her on the head and said, "Let’s go up. Your sister Chang’e is probably terrified, so go comfort her quickly?"

Jiufeng pouted, feeling that this guy must be hiding something from her.

Last time, when she went to Kunlun with Long Fei, she felt something was off. It always seemed like his cultivation level rose after every duel.

Long Fei led her out of the cave, and indeed, chaos had erupted in the Moon Palace.

A group of cultivators stood dumbfounded in front of a pile of ruins, staring blankly at the thousand-meter-high Laurel Tree that had fallen.

A great hall was smashed to pieces by this giant tree, but Chang’e stood to the side without any special expression.

Wuu Gang raised his axe high and shouted to the sky, "I’ve done it, I’ve done it! The Laurel Tree has fallen, I chopped down the Laurel Tree!"

Excitedly, he leaped into the void and disappeared without a trace.

The cultivators were all discussing, saying all sorts of things.

Zhu Bajie, seeing Long Fei and Jiufeng approaching, felt more confident and dared to shout loudly among the crowd, "What are you all standing around for? With so many halls here collapsed, hurry up and help Fairy Chang’e repair the halls!"

"Tsk!"

The crowd booed, and no one paid him any attention.

Zhu Bajie immediately shouted, "Since no one wants to help, then what are you all standing here for, hurry up and disperse!"

Seeing Jiufeng there, they dared not act recklessly and one by one dispersed.

The Witch Tribe’s army quickly arrived and, under Jiufeng’s orders, began repairing the collapsed structures.

Jiufeng turned back to find Chang’e and asked her with concern, "Sister, are you alright?"

Chang’e said softly, "I’m fine, only the Laurel Tree has fallen. The Lunar Star will become even more desolate in the future."

Jiufeng said, "If sister finds it too deserted here, you can come live with me in the Heavenly Palace!"

Chang’e shook her head and said, "There’s no need. I’m already used to living here. If I leave, he won’t be able to find me when he comes back."

"Then let it be as sister wishes!"

Jiufeng furrowed her brows, barely resisting the urge to reveal the matter of Hou Yi’s Primordial Spirit.

For so many years, Chang’e had waited here in hardship, just to wait for Hou Yi’s return.

Long Fei, standing by, lightly chuckled with Chang’e and said, "Sincerity sees sincerity, and iron and stone will open. Fairy will surely get her wish."

Chang’e looked at him and Jiufeng, always feeling that they knew something.

She nodded, thanked them, hugged the Jade Rabbit, and took her leave, returning alone to her quiet hall.

Jiufeng looked Long Fei over and said, "Just how many secrets are you hiding from me?"

Long Fei teased, "It’s quite normal for me to have secrets. You’re not my wife, why should I confess to you?"

Jiufeng’s pretty face reddened, grinding her teeth, she said, "I dare to marry you, do you dare to take me?"

Long Fei looked at her serious expression, coughed a couple of times, and immediately changed the topic by saying, "This Laurel Tree is not bad. I’ll take it back and see what I can do with it!"

He brushed past Jiufeng, raised his hand, and stored the Laurel Tree into his Storage Ring.

Jiufeng stood behind, a hint of disappointment emerged on her face; thinking about it, she felt she’d let worldly thoughts affect her, and quickly shook her head to dismiss the idea.

After bidding farewell to Long Fei, she also left the Lunar Star and returned to the Heavenly Palace.

In the Moon Palace, only Zhu Bajie stayed behind, commanding a group of Witch Tribe soldiers to repair the house for Chang’e.

Northern Jambu Continent, inside the Shebi Corpse Divine Temple of the Twelve Witch Clans.

On this day, the temple suddenly shook, and rays of white light surged.

The divine statue enshrined in the temple seemed to suddenly manifest, condensing into a mass of heavy Yin Malevolence Qi above the hall.

This anomaly lasted for dozens of breaths before dispersing.

The priest of the Shebi Corpse clan, along with the royal family, immediately came to worship. The entire Witch Country knelt outside the temple, shouting that the Ancestral Witch had manifested and that the fortune of the Shebi Corpse clan would prosper forever.

These days, the divine temples of the Twelve Ancestral Witches have been continuously showing signs of manifestation.

Starting from the Mystic Darkness Ancestral Temple, one ancestral temple after another exhibited anomalies.

The power of worship from various Witch Tribes seemed to be continuously consumed by the temples.

A Great Sacrificial Rites openly declared that the Ancestral Witches were descending into the world and the Witch Tribe would once again stand at the pinnacle of the Three Realms.

The entire Witch Tribe of the Northern Jambu Continent was rejoicing joyfully.

These anomalies were reported to the Heavenly Court’s Witch Tribe, and after Jiufeng read the reports, she couldn’t help but become vigilant.

She and Long Fei had just experienced some anomalies on the Lunar Star, and then the temple of the Ancestral Witch Shebi Corpse manifested.

As she pondered, she felt these two events seemed a bit of a coincidence.

The giant phantom in the underground cave, devouring the vast Yin Malevolence Qi of corpses.

In the Three Realms, besides the Ancestral Witch Shebi Corpse, no one else had such immense energy.

Even Prince Boliang, with his perfected Lunar Physique, couldn’t devour such energy from these corpses without the Laurel Tree.

She recalled what Long Fei said to Prince Boliang, wanting to use his sword to cut corpses.

Jiufeng was startled, secretly thinking, could it be that Long Fei wants to cut the corpses of the Witch Tribe’s Ancestral Witches?

That would be too far-fetched.

She pondered for a while and then shook her head, thinking she must be overthinking.

The Ancestral Witch’s body had such powerful bloodlines. How could it be related to Long Fei?

On Liangshan Island, Long Fei had summoned the Laurel Tree and was studying how to make use of it when he suddenly sneezed heavily.

For someone of his cultivation level, sneezing meant someone must be thinking about him.

He chuckled to himself, knowing it must be Jiufeng.

There were some things he couldn’t reveal too much of now, so he could only keep it from Jiufeng for the time being, knowing she would find out later.

As soon as he returned, a group smelled the commotion and came to see.

Chu Feng was the first to come up, smiling wickedly as he asked, "Sect Hierarch, are the sights of the Moon Palace beautiful?"

The Bald Dog sniffed at the giant tree on the ground and exclaimed with curiosity, "Damn, is this the Laurel Tree?"

The Ground Rat Demon King and Da Heiniu approached, examining the thing closely, and affirmed, "No doubt, this is the Laurel Tree, but whether it’s the Moon Laurel Tree, we don’t know."

The group was all shocked, staring at Long Fei, thinking this Great Sect Leader had gone to the Moon Palace and chopped down their Laurel Tree?

This was too much of a temper, wasn’t it?
