Following the end of the Outerverse war, Lu Yin received over a hundred messages every day, and these were all filtered by En Ya, Huan Sha, Wei Rong, and Wang Wen. These were the more important messages, and he did not even have time to cultivate.
Fortunately, he had just become an Emissary, so he needed some time to settle down.
As he read the messages one by one, Lu Yin suddenly stood up; the tree had been discovered.
The tree had escaped from the Ross Empire's botanical garden, but no one knew how it had managed to escape. Its whereabouts were unknown, and the Great Eastern Alliance's First Allied Army had not been able to find it.
Logically speaking, it should have been within the Ross Empire's stronghold, and it could not have rushed into outer space. However, no one had been able to find it.
Now, it had finally been discovered. It was in the Jade Flowzone, which was not too far from the Blazing Mist Flowzone, but it was still quite a few flowzones away. It was very small and inconspicuous.
Lu Yin immediately headed to the Innerverse.
He did not care about the tree, but the sapling was very important, so he had to bring it back. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if Leaf King discovered it.
Lu Yin did not know that Leaf King was currently in the Jade Flowzone, and he had been watching the tree and sapling for quite some time.
Shamrock Enterprises' intelligence network in the Innerverse surpassed that of the Great Eastern Alliance, which had just arrived. Leaf King had already discovered the tree and sapling's whereabouts a month ago, but he had not dared to make a move.
Back at the Ross Empire's stronghold, he had tried to capture the sapling, but the tree had whipped him until he spat out blood. That scene was still fresh in his mind, and it made him especially wary of the tree.
Not far from Leaf King, in a forest park, the tree stood there quietly. Above its head, the sapling was crawling around as if it were playing hide-and-seek.
Leaf King sat on a bench in the park and stared at the tree. As soon as the sapling left the tree's perimeter, he would attack.
This planet's cultivation civilization was flourishing, and even though it was located in a small flowzone, it had given birth to an Enlighter, several Hunters, and many space-exploring powerhouses. It was comparable to a weave in the Outerverse.
A figure rushed into the park. He looked panicked, and his eyes were a little nervous. However, he did not panic. After looking around, he suddenly rushed to the big tree. Under Leaf King's astonished gaze, he jumped to the top of the big tree and hid there.
King Ye blinked. His handsome face was in a daze. How could this be?
Was it that easy?
Over the past month, Lu Yin had tried to get close a few times, but each time, he had encountered an indescribable danger. That person was only a Cruiser, so how could he get close without being whipped?
The person who had jumped to the top of the tree saw Leaf King, and the two of them happened to look at each other. The person then gestured for Leaf King to keep quiet and tossed a star essence to him.
King Ye subconsciously took it.
At this moment, a group of people appeared outside the park. The leader of the group was a Hunter. On this tiny planet, a simple stomp of his foot was enough to overturn rivers and seas, and he could even cause the planet to crack. The Hunter was furious, but he suppressed his anger as he stepped into the park. "Find him! You must find that bastard!"
"Yes, Patriarch." The group of people answered and dispersed.
One of them walked up to Ye King and looked down at him. "Did you see someone come in?"
The Leaf King glanced at the top of the tree. "No."
"Really?"
The man barked, his tone stern. He still had one hand on Ye Wang's shoulder, but just as he was about to exert more force, the Hunter's voice rang out from the distance. "He's just a normal person. How could he have discovered that bastard's tracks?"
The person who had questioned Ye Wang hurriedly left and went to search in another direction.
Although this planet had given birth to many powerful cultivators, no one dared to recklessly use force here. At most, they would only display a Melder's level of cultivation because of the sole Enlighter overseeing this planet.
This planet was his home, and anyone who surpassed the power level of a Melder could easily destroy the planet.
Thus, the Hunter had no choice but to send people to search.
Ye Wang sat quietly on a bench and looked at the lake in the park.
That person had some ability, as he had been so close to the Hunter and yet had not been discovered. The others had searched everywhere but could not find him, which showed that he was very experienced.
"Patriarch, there's no one."
"Patriarch, there's no one."
"No one."
…
The Hunter's face turned ugly. "Let's go." He then led the group out of the park.
The person hiding at the top of the tree sighed in relief, but he did not come out. Based on his experience, those people might turn around and attack him.
Just as he was thinking this, the tree moved.
The person was shocked. An earthquake?
The tree moved again.
That figure was astonished as he looked down. Did the tree move?
At this moment, something touched the back of his head, and the person's hair stood on end. Was there someone there?
He had not noticed?
He hurriedly turned around and saw that it was a tree branch. It was the sapling, which he had pressed down on.
The tree … the tree moved?
The person was shocked. Had it become a spirit?
Just as he thought this, the tree's two thick roots pulled out of the ground and started running like a human. The ground shook as the tree rushed out of the park and onto the street. It crushed the ground and attracted countless people's attention. At this moment, the person's heart crumbled. How could the tree still move?
"Patriarch, there it is!" someone shouted.
The Hunter looked over, and his eyes widened. "Bastard, I found you! Get down here!" He then grabbed a door and smashed it at the tree.
The tree suddenly jumped to the right, and the door crashed onto the ground, barely dodging the attack.
"Get back here!" The Hunter chased after the tree.
Countless people chased after it.
The tree frantically fled.
The Leaf King did not find this strange, as the tree was very strange. It could stay in one place for a period of time, but it would go crazy on a whim. If someone hugged it, it would immediately flee, and it would never display any strength that could send someone flying. It was very strange.
The entire street was bustling with activity. The tree was frantically fleeing, and countless people were chasing after it.
"Hurry up and report to the Alliance Master that the tree has started to flee. I'll keep track of it," someone reported on his gadget.
The Leaf King discovered this and slapped the person to death. His face turned ugly, as this person was from the Great Eastern Alliance. Lu Yin would definitely know of the tree's whereabouts, and it would be troublesome if he came. The Leaf King had to immediately take the sapling away.
"Get down here!" A Hunter shouted as he pulled out a blade from his cosmic ring and slashed down. The blade tore through the void and slashed towards the tree.
At the top of the tree, the person was shocked. "Run, tree!"
The tree twisted its trunk and moved in an extremely strange posture, as if it was dancing, and it dodged the attack. Countless people were stunned.
That posture was a little enchanting.
How could a tree be enchanting?
The sapling jumped around at the top of the tree, and it seemed to be very happy.
The person hiding at the top of the tree was stunned. Is this really a tree?
In the sky, an old man walked out with a stern expression. "Who dares to be impudent here?
You should be punished for using an Explorer's power level. "
The Hunter's expression changed, and he dropped his blade. He hurriedly apologized, "Master, this disciple was careless. Please forgive me."
Then …
This old man was the only Enlighter on this planet, and he had set the rules for survival on this planet. The reason why so many cultivators had been born on this planet was because of this old man.
All of the cultivators on this planet were his disciples.
The old man ignored the Hunter and instead looked at the fleeing tree in amazement. "Interesting." His finger moved, and he was just about to grab the tree.
Suddenly, a terrifying power shook the heavens and the earth. The old man's pupils shrank as his body was pressed into the ground. Not good, an absolute powerhouse!
The Leaf King made his move, and he reached into the crown of the tree to grab the sapling.
The person hiding in the crown of the tree was stunned. He felt an incomparably terrifying power, and he had seen this power before. It was an Emissary, and it was definitely at the level of an Emissary. Was there really an Emissary here?
A hand reached out from the Astral Source Universe, and the Leaf King revealed his appearance. He stared at the sapling and reached out to grab it.
The figure saw the Leaf King clearly. "It's you?"
He would never have imagined that the person who had bribed him with a star essence was actually an Emissary. Why was an Emissary hiding here?
Just as the Leaf King was about to grab the sapling, a tree branch viciously whipped his arm and tore it apart. There was a loud crack as the Leaf King's body was sent flying. Not only that, but the remaining force of the branch's whip swept past the planet, causing ripples in outer space. Eventually, the barren planet in the distance was destroyed.
The Leaf King was heavily injured, and he quickly turned around and disappeared into the Astral Source Universe.
Everything happened in an instant. The Enlighter elder had experienced the Leaf King's power, and so had the others. However, they had all thought that it was the Enlighter elder's power.
Only the person hiding in the crown of the tree knew what had happened. At this moment, he was panicking.
The Emissary had been sent flying by the tree, and he had actually climbed to the top of the tree. What kind of tree was this?
Was it really a tree?
The elder's entire body trembled, and he almost wet himself.
The tree was still running away in a frenzy, but then, it suddenly stopped moving. Its roots stabbed into the ground and stopped moving.
The figure in the crown of the tree rolled his eyes. It's not moving anymore?
He looked around and saw that he was in the middle of the street. The tree had stopped moving.
Countless people looked over with strange expressions. Had the tree become a spirit?
Some people tried to approach the tree, but they were stopped by the Enlighter elder. He ordered the street to be sealed off and everyone was chased away. No one was allowed to approach the tree.
He was also aware of what had just happened. Although he had not seen it clearly, that Emissary was most likely the tree.
The elder had been able to cultivate to the Enlighter realm, and he had explored many places in the universe. It was not impossible for a tree to cultivate to the level of an Emissary.
Now, he was considering how to deal with this. Should he report this to the Hall of Honor?
A very ordinary face appeared at the top of the tree. It was a man, and he nervously looked at the Enlighter elder through the branches with a pleading expression.
The Enlighter elder was startled when he saw the man, but he quickly bowed deeply. It turned out that the Emissary powerhouse was this person and not the tree. "I dare not disturb Senior. What instructions do you have? This junior will do his best to fulfill them."
The man was sorrowful, and he wanted to beg the elder to save him, but there was a branch wrapped around his neck. It was a sapling.
The sapling was playful, but to the man, it was a threat. The branch could strangle him to death with just a little bit of force. Did the elder not want him to speak?
He was about to cry. He had only stolen something, so was there a need for him to encounter such a troublesome situation?
The Innerverse was too crazy, and he wanted to return to the Neoverse.
