The Green World could naturally be opened, but only by a small opening. Through this opening, the Mountain Tree Tribe could communicate with the outside world.
The Ancestral Tree City in the Green World was the birthplace of the Mountain Tree Tribe, their last home.
No one wanted their land to be invaded by the ambitious Yakshas, but the Yakshas were powerful and cruel. They didn't care about kindness. Although Long Chen wasn't a member of the Mountain Tree Tribe, he knew the pain and sorrow of losing their land.
The gap in the green world was also the gate to the Ancestral Tree City. There were a large number of Roan Tree warriors guarding the gate. Yin Luan had said that the Roan Tree Tribe only had tens of thousands of people left, and there were at least tens of thousands of them guarding the gate. One could see how much they valued their final home.
Among these warriors, there were not only strong men, but also the elderly, women, and children. Almost all of them were ready to go on the battlefield on the day of destruction.
Looking over, the eyes of the Mountain Tree Tribe flickered with deep worry. They knew that one day, even the Ancestral Tree City would fall to the Yakshas. At that time, the Mountain Tree Tribe would be exterminated and driven out of their home that they had lived in for millions of years.
Losing their land and humiliating their country, how painful was that?
No matter what, they still had a belief in their hearts. Their home couldn't be invaded. Most of them were ready to sacrifice their lives here.
At this critical moment, Long Chen arrived outside the Ancestral Tree City under the guidance of the Mountain Tree Princess.
When the Ancestral Tree City saw the three of them, a commotion broke out. A large number of warriors rushed down and blocked the path of Long Chen's group. Even more people blocked the Ancestral Tree City with nervous expressions. They were already frightened by the mere twang of a bow.
However, when they saw that it was only two young men accompanying Yin Luan, the warriors heaved a sigh of relief. Among the crowd, there was a woman who was taller than Yin Luan and looked much more mature than her. She walked towards Long Chen. Her skin was the color of wheat, and she looked extremely powerful. She had a pair of green eyes that were bewitching and shrewd. She cautiously led the warriors forward and bowed to Yin Luan, "Princess, may I ask what exactly happened? Didn't you go to collect the seeds? Where are the guards? Who are these two humans?"
Her attitude was arrogant. She seemed respectful to Yin Luan, but she didn't mean it at all. It was more like a question.
"Big Sister Yin Hui, I was ambushed by the Yaksha Tribe. In order to protect me, the guards all sacrificed their lives. Even General Gao died in battle. I have to see my father immediately and tell him that the Yaksha Tribe's activities have become more rampant and frequent. Also, these two humans are from the Dragon God Domain. If they hadn't saved me at the last moment, I would have been eaten by the Yaksha Tribe."
Hearing that the princess was being hunted and General Gao died in battle, the other Mountain Tree Tribe warriors' eyes were filled with hatred. They clenched their fists and shouted that they would take revenge. But when they thought of the Yakshas, they couldn't help but feel fear.
Most of them had seen their clansmen and siblings killed by the Yakshas with their own eyes. They had seen most of their homes lost and their clansmen enslaved by the Yakshas.
The female general, Yin Hui, had a cold look in her eyes, and it was hard to tell what she was feeling. Her gaze swept over Long Chen and Ling Xi, and she said coldly, "The Yakshas who chased after you were able to kill General Gao, but these two humans of unknown origin and weak strength saved you."
From her words, it was obvious that she suspected that Long Chen and Lingxi were spies of the Yakshas.
Hearing this, the other Mountain Tree Tribe warriors became vigilant.
This female general called Yin Hui was very rude, which made Yin Luan, as the host, very angry. He put on a stern face and said, "They saved me, they are my benefactors and friends. Yin Hui, can you get rid of your habit of being suspicious of others? Not everyone is like what you think they are. I order you, as the princess, to move aside."
The tall woman didn't panic. Instead, she was extremely arrogant. She only took a step back and said, "Princess, you'd better be smart. If you let people with ulterior motives into the Ancestral Tree City and lead to the extinction of our tribe, you will be the greatest sinner of all time."
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing which side to stand on. The threat of the Yakshas was getting bigger and bigger. They were already panicking.
Yin Hui continued, "As the general guarding the gate, I have a responsible attitude. I have to ask them why they are here before letting them pass. I'm really sorry, Princess, but if you have any objections to my work, you can sue me in front of the Mountain Tree City."
Yin Luan gritted her teeth at these arrogant words.
She couldn't say the Heart of the Ancestral Tree in person and had to discuss it with the higher-ups in secret. She said, "They saved my life and are my guests. As the princess, do I not even have the right to invite my benefactors? Yin Hui, don't go too far. They are humans, how can humans be spies of the Yakshas? You're just trying to bully me and show your authority. That's why you're saying this. If you don't move aside, I won't be so polite anymore."
She must have gone mad with anger to say such harsh words. The Mountain Tree Tribe was familiar with the tempers of the princess and the Minister of the Left's daughter. Yin Luan was quiet and beautiful, but the Minister of the Left's daughter had always been competitive with the princess. Hearing these words, they all moved aside. After all, they were the princess' benefactors and couldn't act recklessly. As for Yin Hui, she could do whatever she wanted.
The people around her didn't support her. Yin Hui flew into a rage and said, "I don't believe they can save you. Whether they're spies or not, we'll talk after you defeat me."
She was already at the ninth level of the Nirvana Tribulation, an achievement at her age that wasn't bad.
After saying those ruthless words, she actually pounced towards Ling Xi, who was the closest to her. In her eyes, Ling Xi was the strongest out of the two of them. She had always been arrogant and thought that no one in the same generation could be her match.
Swoosh.
As soon as she made her move, Ling Xi stretched out her hand, and the Eight Great Celestial Swords were still hidden in her fingernails. At this moment, the Celestial Swords flashed, and the Eight Great Celestial Swords shot out, transforming into sword images that filled the sky, instantly blurring Yin Hui's vision. She was greatly shocked in her heart, and she hurriedly counterattacked. However, the strength of the other party was so great that it exceeded her expectations. In the instant that they intersected, Yin Hui was sent flying by a huge force, causing her blood and Qi to roil and her internal organs to tremble. Blood dripped from her mouth.
In the blink of an eye, the eight celestial swords had pinned Yin Hui to the gates of the Ancestral Tree City. Of course, they were only pinned to her clothes. If Lingxi had wanted to kill her, the eight celestial swords would have pierced through her heart.
This scene shocked all the Roan Tree Tribe warriors.
It could be seen that Ling Xi was quite a bit younger than Yin Hui. They had always thought that Yin Hui was one of the two or three peak experts of the Mountain Tree Clan, which was why she dared to be so arrogant in front of the princess. Although Yin Hui's character wasn't very good, and she often bullied the weak, her talent was something that everyone acknowledged.
But today, she was almost killed by a young girl who was even younger than her.
Everyone stared dumbfoundedly at Yin Hui who was nailed to the city gate as she clamored and struggled. Their hearts turned cold as they stared at Ling Xi in shock. From this moment onwards, no one doubted Long Chen and Ling Xi's strength anymore. They also knew that they had been looking at the sky from the bottom of a well.
"How dare they attack me! They must be spies from the Yaksha Clan. Warriors of the Roan Tree Clan, listen to my command, kill these two spies and save the princess. The princess must be under their control."
Yin Hui struggled on the city gate. The power of the eight celestial swords had only pierced her clothes, but at the same time, they had imprisoned her.
She screamed, but no one paid attention to her.
Yin Luan said to Long Chen apologetically, "Benefactor, I'm really sorry for letting this guy affect your mood. When I see my father, I'll try to put in a good word for you."
"It's fine."
Long Chen said casually.
This was normal. If he didn't show his strength, how would the other side take him seriously?
Under the envious gazes of the Roan Tree warriors, Yin Luan led Long Chen and the princess into the Ancestral Tree City. Although it was called a city, it was actually a vast forest. The forest was very bright and fragrant. It was a very beautiful place.
"Princess."
A man from the Roan Tree Clan came down from the city gate. He wore a green full-body armor. It was clearly a Dao treasure.
"General Sen." Yin Luan stopped.
"Old Gao is really dead." General Sen's eyes were a little red.
Yin Luan nodded helplessly, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have gone to gather seeds today. The outside is our home, but now we have to go out carefully. I really can't stand this kind of life …"
General Sen wiped away his tears for his old friend. His brothers had died one by one over the years, and he was already numb. He said, "This isn't your fault, it's our fault. As men, we can't protect our home."
He then looked at Long Chen and said, "Human friend, the two of you saved the princess. I'd like to express my gratitude. You two seem to need something in the Ancestral Tree City. I might be able to help."
This General Sen was a triple-talent Samsara Realm expert. He was the commander of the city gate. Previously, Yin Luan's position couldn't be compared to General Sen at all. It could be said that he was one of the leaders of the Roan Tree Clan.
No one dared to approach. Long Chen went straight to the point and said, "We passed by the Roan Tree Planet and saw this towering tree. There must be a Progenitor Tree's Heart here. We don't want too much and came here to ask if we can use treasures of equal value to exchange for one-tenth of the Progenitor Tree's Heart. We have great use for it."
