"Are you saying that you're surrendering?" Meng Zhan sneered as if he was enjoying Lin Aoyu's subservient attitude.
"I can only say that we're cooperating."
Lin Aoyu was still neither servile nor overbearing as he continued, "We'll help you get the Wood God's essence blood, and you'll help us kill Ye Chen's group. We'll both benefit from it."
Yu Chen, who was behind Lin Aoyu, took a deep breath and nodded repeatedly.
In their current situation, it was obviously unrealistic for them to obtain the Wood God's essence blood. They might as well take a step back and kill Ye Chen's group to wash away the humiliation they had just suffered.
"Interesting!"
Meng Zhan laughed heartily, "I really want to meet Ye Chen and Tian Wuxiao to make the two of you hate each other so much. I'll agree to this cooperation."
With that, Meng Zhan waved his hand and handed a bottle of elixirs to Lin Aoyu.
"There are some healing elixirs inside. Take them quickly and head to the depths of the Wood God Palace to prevent Ye Chen from snatching the Wood God's essence blood before us." Meng Zhan said generously.
"Thank you!"
Lin Aoyu and Yu Chen cupped their fists and led the group to a nearby hillside to heal their injuries and rest.
Looking at the group's departing figures, one of them walked to Meng Zhan's side and said softly, "These two guys are full of tricks. Could it be a trap?"
"I don't think so."
Meng Zhan shook his head and said, "The Tian Wuxiao they mentioned, I noticed him on the stone platform. He's so powerful that I couldn't see through him at all. He should be a powerful figure. If he's with Ye Chen, it'll be very difficult for us to obtain the Wood God's essence blood. We can cooperate with these guys and take what we need."
"Cooperation is feasible, but I'm afraid they'll go back on their words." The other person was also worried.
"Don't worry. As long as Tian Wuxiao is dead, I'm 100% sure that I can kill everyone, including Ye Chen!"
Meng Zhan was full of confidence as he spoke. It was as if he could already see Ye Chen's miserable death in his eyes.
There was no sun or moon in the Wood God Palace, nor was there any concept of time.
Many young experts who entered the Wood God Palace were frantically searching for the Wood God's essence blood or collecting treasures and spiritual materials. The scene was particularly lively and full of disputes.
At this moment, Ye Chen and the others had arrived at the depths of the Wood God Palace.
There weren't any palaces here any longer, and it seemed like the outskirts of a mountain instead. It was densely covered in forests and lone peaks stood like trees in a forest. The entire space revealed a tranquil feeling, and it seemed to be especially quiet.
The group of people did not panic. Instead, they carefully proceeded forward while vigilantly sizing up their surroundings.
He's Zhan's eyes eyes's's's as he's the Wood god's had the Wood God Palace Palace's' were silent
"I've already said that as long as I can get the Wood God's essence blood, I'll be able to resolve this crisis. Why are you so dejected?" At this moment, Tian Wuxiao arrived beside Ye Chen, his brows raised as he muttered.
However, Ye Chen shook his head and said, "I don't care about the Dragon God's's' threat to me. I'm just wondering which one is your real identity, Tian Wuxiao or Xiao Wutian."
"Oh?
You recognized me? "Tian Wuxiao was surprised at first, then he smiled playfully.
"I was already suspicious of your identity on the stone platform, but it was only a suspicion. I was only sure when you mentioned the Eternal Immortal Celestial Body."
Ye Chen smiled bitterly as he spoke.
Tian Wuxiao, if these three words were reversed, it would be Xiao Wutian.
This guy had kept Ye Chen in the dark. No wonder he helped Ye Chen so much when they were climbing the mountain, and even generously gave up the right to enter the tenth door.
"Tell me, why did you come all the way to the Mu Hua Continent? With your strength, I don't think you're interested in a drop of Wood God's's' blood, right?"
Ye Chen wasn't exaggerating. Xiao Wutian could even take out the Wood Emperor's' Life Returning Pill. Although a drop of Wood God's' blood was precious, it wasn't something he desperately wanted.
"I've already told you that I came to the Wood God Palace to get something for an old man. I don't have any other intentions." Xiao Wutian rolled his eyes at Ye Chen and said weakly.
"Is it really that simple?" Ye Chen squinted his eyes.
"It's that simple? Do you think I came to the Mu Hua Continent just to protect you?"
Xiao Wutian sneered. Ye Chen's eyes darkened. This guy is still so frivolous.
After a moment of silence, Ye Chen sent a message to Xiao Wutian, "The golden pattern on my chest seems to be an Ancient Dragon Phoenix. You left it there on purpose, right?"
In the void, Ye Chen not only saw the corpse of the Ancient Dragon Phoenix with his own eyes, but he also used the Devouring Ultimacy to extract the Dragon Phoenix Bloodline.
Although the Dragon Phoenix Bloodline was absorbed by Xiao Wutian in the end, the golden pattern appeared on Ye Chen's chest after that. When he was in danger, the golden pattern broke free from his body and turned into the Ancient Dragon Phoenix.
Ye Chen guessed that all of this must be related to Xiao Wutian. When Xiao Wutian extracted the Dragon Phoenix Bloodline, he probably left a part of it in Ye Chen's body.
"The word 'on purpose' sounds a little hurtful. After all, I meant well."
Xiao Wutian put on an innocent look and Ye Chen's eyes narrowed. Indeed, Xiao Wutian left a part of the Dragon Phoenix Bloodline in his body.
"Last time, you said that this Dragon Phoenix bloodline is extremely important to you, but you left a part of it in my body. Why did you do that?"
"Also, you said that you are not from the God Tribe. Then, what is your real identity? It seems that other than the God Tribe, no other tribe can have a force like yours." Ye Chen took a deep breath and asked.
This was the third time that Ye Chen had asked about Xiao Wutian's background.
The first time was in the fishing village. The second time was in the void. This time, it was in the Wood God Palace. He desperately wanted an answer.
Xiao Wutian also stared at Ye Chen. After a pause, he smiled faintly and replied, "I can't answer your questions for the time being. When the time is right, you will naturally know."
"But there is no doubt that I don't have any enmity towards you now. Everything I do is for your own good. I just want you to become stronger faster." Xiao Wutian added. His voice was sincere and there was no deception in it.
However, Ye Chen's eyes flashed and he caught the key point. He asked, "You don't have any enmity towards me now. What about in the future? Are we friends or enemies?"
As soon as his voice fell, the smile on Xiao Wutian's face froze and he didn't answer immediately.
He looked away and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I don't know what will happen in the future but I hope that we can be friends and not enemies."
Ye Chen frowned and wanted to continue asking. In front of him, Mo Yi and Yu Ziyan suddenly stopped and a violent aura burst out from their bodies.
"What's wrong?"
Ye Chen said in a deep voice. Looking over, he discovered that a lofty palace that occupied an extremely vast area had appeared right in front of them, and three figures were quietly standing in front of the palace.
These three figures were all extremely tall. They stood there like three iron towers.
What was even stranger was that there was no sign of life on the three figures.
