At this moment, Ling Bi slowly stood up. With a complicated and resolute expression on his face, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "I killed her!"
The square was in an uproar again. The group of nobles on the stairs were dumbfounded. No one expected him to admit it.
Ling Bi said word by word, "Anyone can be the ruler, but not her."
Tree God said, "Reason?"
Ling Bi looked at the corpse on the ground. Ling Yun was still smiling. She didn't seem to know that it was her father who killed her.
Ling Bi's eyes were filled with sadness. "Because once she becomes the ruler of our Green Tree Tribe, she will definitely declare war on the Divine War Alliance. Our tribe will eventually be destroyed."
Many people could understand the logic behind it. With an enormous interstellar fleet, well-equipped weapons, advanced technology, and equipment, as well as so many spiritual experts in the human world, the tiny Green Tree Clan could not imagine any other outcome other than annihilation if they chose to fight them.
"Fool." The words in the sky appeared again. Many people could already feel the disappointment of God.
At this moment, the face in the sky suddenly shattered. Countless spirit leaves that had lost their luster fell down. Even the sky became dark.
The people of Murteja City were terrified again. They all knelt on the ground. Many people even kowtowed. However, Tree God did not appear.
Ding Meng also realized that something was wrong. Not only did the mysterious eyes close, but they also disappeared completely. Even he could not feel the fresh, natural, and pure aura of the super life form. On the contrary, with the disappearance of the super life form, the vitality in the surroundings also began to disappear.
"Everyone, look! The Tree God is changing!" Someone was almost crying.
Ding Meng looked carefully. The huge Green Tree God in the middle of the forest had its lush branches and leaves yellowed, withered, and decayed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This huge tree was the symbol of the entire Green Tree Tribe. Now that God had disappeared and the huge tree had withered, everyone's faith had collapsed. The scene immediately became chaotic. Some people were screaming, some were kowtowing, and some were running down the mountain. However, more people were running for their lives.
"Don't panic, everyone!"
"For the future of our race, the king has sacrificed his most beloved daughter. Now, the people of the God War Alliance are rushing here. We will cooperate with them to develop this forest. From now on, we will have enough food and clothing. We will also have starships to travel in space. We can also live a better life like the human race. Everyone, please be patient. Those who are willing to follow the king, please come to the square …"
Hearing this, Spiritual Sword was furious. He pulled out the Red Pearl Sword, and the green light immediately shone on the whole place. He gritted his teeth and said, "So you have already colluded with the Alliance and used the fleet of the Alliance to exhaust the divine power of the Tree God. You want to sell our home to the enemy while you enjoy the luxurious life of human beings and let our people become slaves of human beings. A bunch of bastards …"
He cursed as he flew towards the High Priest.
Ding Meng hurriedly turned his head and asked Nicona, "Is that true?"
Nicona's eyes were filled with sadness, but more than that, there was fear. "I can no longer sense the aura of the Lord God. It may have dissipated, or it may have left. In any case, it is no longer in this place. It is very disappointed in our race. It … it …"
As she spoke, tears fell from her eyes. It was obvious that she was already in despair.
Ding Meng muttered to herself, "Is that the case?"
Xiao Ai's tone was grave. "It is extremely likely that the super life form has foreseen what is happening right now. It is impossible for it to truly die. It is very likely that it used some kind of teleportation technique to leave this place. The fact that this divine tree is rotting can prove this point."
Jun Ling took Nicona's hand. "Don't be afraid. Act according to the will of the Lord. I will cover you to the temple and take the Holy Spirit."
The square of the palace was indeed very chaotic. The destruction of the Tree God had directly caused the sky to darken. All sorts of cries rang out in the city. The royal family, aristocrats, and young talents inside and outside the palace were all at a loss. Only Ling Jian charged towards the High Priest recklessly.
"Don't be impudent!"
The High Priest was a top-notch existence in the Green Tree Race. With a casual wave of his hand, Ling Jian was sent flying and fell next to Ling Yun's corpse.
The High Priest was still speaking loudly. "The King has even sacrificed the Princess. His goal is to let our Green Tree Race escape from the fate of slash-and-burn farming for thousands of years. We want to have our own beautiful and prosperous city and paradise like the humans. Everyone, please do not panic. Invite all the Sect Masters and Elders to come to the square …"
"A bunch of nonsense!"
Ling Jian couldn't help but crawl up and roar furiously. "Even their own daughter can be cruelly killed. What's the difference between such a race and beasts?
Following you will only bring the Green Tree Race to its doom. Brothers and sisters, my elder sister saw all of this. That was why she was willing to stand out bravely to be the King. Young friends, please don't be blinded by your own eyes and stain your hands with sin. If you are willing to be a true member of the Green Tree Race, please stand by my side and protect our homeland together. Chase away the God War Alliance and call back our supreme Tree God … "
With his shout, more than half of the young people in the square ran over and stood by his side. The young people were still hot-blooded. Their hearts hadn't died yet. They couldn't accept the outcome of their benevolent and loving Princess being assassinated by a conspiracy.
Now, no one could control this chaotic situation anymore. Ding Meng secretly used the < < Assimilating Heart Sutra > > and transmitted a message to the spiritual sword. "Hurry up and take your sister's body away. No matter what, you must preserve it."
Upon hearing Ding Meng's voice, Ling Jian realized that Ding Meng's bird of light had unknowingly flown onto Ling Yun's body. It lowered its head and cooed. Ling Jian was instantly shocked. Ling Yun and the bird of light actually emitted a faint divine aura at the same time.
At this moment, he no longer had any doubts. He rushed forward and carried Ling Yun's body.
"Capture these traitors and kill them without mercy!" The High Priest began to give orders.
With his order, the surrounding soldiers raised their javelins and halberds and charged towards the center of the square.
The young people in the square also didn't want to be outdone. They all pulled out their swords and sabers and began to parry. However, these young people still couldn't compare with these guards whose strength was close to that of a Combat Master. Their swords and sabers only symbolically blocked twice. Then, some of them fell out of their hands, and some of them broke off their arms. Flesh and blood splattered all over the square.
The army of the God War Alliance had yet to arrive. On the contrary, the Green Tree Tribe had already started to kill each other.
At this moment, at the top of the palace, Jun Ling and Nicole had already quietly snuck into the main hall of the shrine. In the center of the main hall, there was a ball of green energy floating in the air. This was the Greenwood Holy Spirit.
Jun Ling looked at it curiously. "How do we take it away?"
Nicole was a little nervous. "My tribe's Holy Spirit is the protection of God. It brings abundant vitality and rejuvenation power. Only pure people can touch it. I'll try."
After saying that, she slowly stretched out her arms and muttered something.
As expected, under her summoning, the Holy Spirit seemed to have awakened. It constantly spread out circles of green light in all directions. Then, it slowly flew towards Nicole.
With a "swoosh", the Holy Spirit actually merged with Nicole. It looked like a green pupil of light was covering her body. Nicole was like a Saintess in the celestial light. She floated in the air, holy and solemn.
"Wow!" Jun Ling was also dazzled by it. "This energy is really strange."
Nicole said, "The Holy Spirit must not fall into the hands of the God War Alliance. As long as it exists in our Green Tree Tribe, our tribe will not be exterminated."
Jun Ling decisively pulled out his dagger. "Let's go. I'll protect you. Let's go to the factory and meet up with Elephant and the others."
Nicole nodded and quickly walked out of the temple.
She forgot one thing. Not only did the Holy Spirit fluctuate greatly, it was also constantly spreading out circles of light.
It couldn't be seen in the main hall of the temple. However, when she ran out, with a "swoosh", a green light spread out. The green light immediately lit up the entire palace.
How could such a conspicuous light be hidden from the high priest?
"She stole the Holy Spirit. Kill her for me!" The high priest shouted at the top of his lungs.
The guards in the plaza all turned and threw the javelins in their hands at the three-story pavilion like a storm.
"Dang dang dang dang dang!"
Jun Ling's dagger danced in the air, blocking the javelins with all his might. However, even though the Green Tree Tribe's technology was lacking, they were all experts in close combat in the jungle. These guards were like monkeys, climbing straight up the wall. They flipped over the fence in a few moves and leaped onto the third floor of the rooftop.
At this time, countless specks of light fell rapidly from the sky. Then, they quickly gathered into an icy blue brilliance. The brilliance flashed a few times, and the five or six guards who had just climbed onto the roof fell back down.
Ding Meng stood in front of Jun Ling to protect her. Catoptric Deflection had already transformed into a large sword. "You guys go. I'll hold them back and protect Nicole. Go to the factory and find the elders to think of a solution."
Jun Ling now also sensed that most of the young people in the plaza had already been slaughtered. A large number of soldiers were rushing towards the palace from the foot of the mountain. These Treants were fully equipped and moved in an orderly manner. This was clearly the Green Tree Tribe's army. There were no less than fifty thousand people. Further away, there were still armed forces continuously gathering.
Jun Ling knew that such a large number of enemies was not something she could deal with. She frowned and said, "What about you?"
Ding Meng said, "Don't worry. I'm not good at anything else, so I'm definitely better at escaping than you guys. Hurry up and go!"
Jun Ling nodded. She turned around and hugged Nicole. The Prototype's boots spat out crystal flames, and the two of them rose into the air, dragging a long trail of crystal flames behind them.
"You must not let them escape!" the high priest roared anxiously.
Wave after wave of javelins and arrows rained down from the palace. Of course, these attacks were completely negligible to the Prototype. The Prototype might not be good at anything else, but its defense was surprisingly strong.
