ALL NOVEL Chapter 93
On the other side.
After a brief skirmish.
A towering ancient tree was struck down to its roots, bending down like a person begging for mercy, its leaves rustling in fear.
“Predecessors, please stop! I was just passing by! I had no intention of attacking you!”
“Really?”
“Absolutely true!”
Feeling the murderous intent around it, the ancient tree trembled in fear.
“Hey, what kind of fruit is growing on this tree? It looks so beautiful,” An Miaoyi’s eyes sparkled.
Fan Dezhen focused his gaze, pleasantly surprised, “Miss, this is the Starry Heaven Origin Fruit! It’s great for your physique!”
On the branches of the ancient tree hung dozens of bright, exquisite fruits, crystal clear, and upon closer inspection, the surface even showed reflections of stars.
The Starry Heaven Origin Fruit can increase a person’s star power!
Out in the world, even one of these could fetch an astronomical price!
When the Wendaozong scoured the entire Gongzhou, they found no trace of the Starry Heaven Origin Fruit.
Yet now, this ancient tree had borne dozens!
“Take it, it’s all yours!” The ancient tree was very tactful, quickly shaking off the fruits from its branches.
After all, in five or six thousand years, it could bear a pile of fruits again; it was just like taking a nap for it.
Besides, these things, when they fell to the ground, had rotted in the mud with no spirit beasts willing to eat them!
“Miss, did you see that? This is a tremendous opportunity!” Fan Dezhen exclaimed excitedly.
“Uncle Fan, we did not come here in vain!” An Miaoyi was very happy; as long as she could consume and refine these fruits, her star power would reach a new level.
“Hey, can I go now?” the ancient tree cautiously asked.
Ye Junlin rubbed his chin, “Just now, were you sneaking around tracking us?”
“I’m talking to you!” Li Wujie growled, brandishing a kitchen knife, standing fiercely beside him.
Hong Qianye lightly twirled her fingers, dazzling flames dancing at her fingertips, and said coldly, “Tell the truth, or else…”
The ancient tree shook violently, its leaves rustling, “On my conscience, I was just curious and had no intent to harm!”
“Okay, go on then,” Ye Junlin waved his hand.
“Thank you for sparing my life!” The ancient tree felt like it had received a huge reprieve, scuttling away on its roots like legs, disappearing into the dense forest in a matter of breaths.
“Young Master Ye, did you notice something?” Fan Dezhen’s expression turned solemn.
Ye Junlin said, “I always felt that the medicine clan was not giving up, wanting to gather strength to attack us. That ancient tree was tracking us in secret and reporting back in real-time.”
“What? If that’s the case, then why did we let it go? I should’ve chopped it up right there!” Li Wujie fumed.
Ye Junlin shrugged nonchalantly, “Let it be; it’s good to have one more target.”
Just then, a fierce gust of wind howled, dense footsteps approaching from not far away, like a thousand troops marching towards them.
“Something’s up!”
Soon, everyone saw what was in front of them.
“What is this?!” Fan Dezhen was stunned.
“Oh my!” An Miaoyi covered her mouth, unable to believe it.
Li Wujie had his muscles twitching, with an extremely intriguing expression, “What the heck…”
“This is interesting, too interesting!” Hong Qianye clapped her hands, her face full of excitement, as if she had seen something delightful.
“Master, that dark figure looks so familiar,” Bai Xiaoxi tilted their head curiously.
Ye Junlin’s eyes widened in shock, inhaling sharply, “How long has it been, and that bald old donkey has turned into this?”
In his eyes, Master Randel was hanging naked from a bamboo pole, covered in a dark mess, emanating an unbearable stench, swarmed by buzzing little bugs. His expression was devoid of life, eyes dull, contrasting starkly with his previous serene monk demeanor!
Around him, a throng of cultivators knelt and crawled along the ground like steeds, each carrying ancient medicines as if the medicine clan were their true masters.
Were this scene to be witnessed elsewhere, it would absolutely be explosive!
But in the Medicine King Valley, it was happening in real time!
“All of you big shots, the human race you are looking for is them!” The ancient tree that had just fled now jumped out, excitedly pointing fingers.
“Okay, it’s not your concern anymore, return to your place.”
“Yes!”
Red Essence scanned Ye Junlin and the others, saying, “You all better kneel down and beg for mercy while there’s still time, or if you’re late, that bald old donkey behind me might just be your fate!”
“No way, that old bald donkey was really subdued by these medicine kings?” Li Wujie was skeptical.
He had battled Master Randel before and knew how formidable his physical defenses were, so these medicine kings wouldn’t be able to take him down!
But now, the sight before him turned his understanding upside down!
If even that guy was in such a state, where did that leave him for resistance?
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Hong Qianye’s expression grew heavier; he didn’t want to be hung up and covered in filth. That would be killing them psychologically!
Ye Junlin said with interest, “I really want to know who gave you such courage?”
Having witnessed Master Randel’s prowess, he knew he should be able to walk in the Medicine King Valley with ease; now being oppressed, there must be a more formidable force behind it.
As these words were spoken…
All the medicine clan members were enraged; this human race was too arrogant!
The cultivators turned steeds in attendance felt a mix of emotions; they had thought that by tossing the excrement at Master Randel, they might escape their fate. They hadn’t expected to still face humiliation, left with no choice but to submit.
After all, everyone had suffered before, so looking back, they still found some comfort.
As for Ye Junlin, they couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, feeling that this silver-haired youth who dared attempt to resist would probably end up worse than Master Randel!
In this Medicine King Valley, the human race was indeed at the bottom!
No changing that!
Endure and weather the storm.
Anyway, once they were teleported away, they could raise their heads again. Why bother trying to resist and anger these medicine beings into even more perverse humiliation?
As for this experience, everyone would tacitly understand, burying it deep in their memories.
After all, it was truly hard to look back on!
At this moment.
Master Randel, hanging from the bamboo pole, felt utterly humiliated, his mouth filled with a bitter taste.
All the earlier thoughts of revenge and ambitions vanished; he just wanted to hurry and leave this hellhole and never, ever set foot here again!
Upon seeing Ye Junlin confronting the medicine clan, Master Randel sneered slightly, “Kid, enjoy your time as a person while you can; when they start tormenting you later, you’ll regret your naivety!”
All the suffering he endured and the humiliation he faced; he longed for Ye Junlin to bear it a hundredfold!
Because only then would he feel better!
“As for these guys, once we get out, I’ll make sure to send them all to the Western Paradise,” Master Randel glanced at the kneeling crowd below, a chilling killing intent flickering in his eyes.
He was a peak Crossing Tribulation expert, an ancient being who had roamed the Eastern Domain for ages, and today he was being completely humiliated by this group of juniors!
What kind of absurd thing was this?
He absolutely could not swallow this!
As a high monk of the Buddhist Sect, he could only do his best to send all these fateful beings to the Western Paradise!
“Human race, I know you’re the strongest here, but don’t think you can act with impunity. In this Medicine King Valley, we medicine clan are the true rulers! And you all are nothing but playthings!”
Red Essence exclaimed excitedly, “Fellow brothers, let’s welcome our Great Mushroom King to the stage!”
“Great Mushroom King!”
“Great Mushroom King!”
“Great Mushroom King!”
All the medicine clan members shouted, their emotions intense.
“A Great Demon King? There’s such an evil and dangerous existence here?!” Fan Dezhen exclaimed in shock.
Hong Qianye’s eyes filled with suspicion, his brow twitching; even at his peak, he wouldn’t dare to call himself a Great Demon King. Who the heck was this person?
Hearing such a domineering title, Ye Junlin raised an eyebrow, sensing the newcomer was surely someone high-level.
But it didn’t matter because he grew stronger against stronger opponents!
“I’d really like to see who this Great Demon King you keep talking about is!”
As the calls grew louder.
The Great Demon King had yet to make an appearance.
Red Essence was speechless and jumped forward, forcefully pushing the black mushroom that was hiding in the crowd out, “Great Mushroom King, you’re the strongest bad guy, only you can defeat him now!”
Looking at this more than a meter high, oversized black mushroom, Ye Junlin and the others were dumbstruck, their minds filled with question marks.
So they had misunderstood!
The Great Mushroom King was feeling quite out of sorts, not used to being the center of attention, but there was no helping it; the situation forced him!
It truly hated being in the limelight, and once this ordeal was over, it planned to return to its old nest and sleep for a million years to make up for this mental trauma.
“You are the strongest being in the Medicine King Valley?” Ye Junlin clicked his tongue in amazement; this was just a blacked-out big mushroom!
The Great Mushroom King mustered up courage, “Y-Yes!”
Hong Qianye seemed to recognize something, his eyes flashing with brilliance, “This is actually the Undying Chaos Mushroom…”
“Wang Cuihua, what kind of mushroom did you just say?” Ye Junlin asked curiously.
Hong Qianye restrained the urge to hit him, speaking sternly, “This is called the Undying Chaos Mushroom; users can enhance strength and lifespan, it’s immensely beneficial! It’s rumored to be the closest ancient medicine to Immortal Medicine!”
“Just close to immortal medicine? Does that mean…” Fan Dezhen’s heart dropped, and in his eyes, there was no greed, only deep fear.
This was a supreme great medicine!
According to the strength ranking of this Medicine King Valley, it equated to a perfected Golden Core cultivator!
This is it; they were done for!
Boom!
A terrifying shockwave suddenly erupted, shaking the surrounding trees wildly.
“Everyone, be careful!” Li Wujie felt his scalp tingle; the energy waves released were beyond his current capability to combat.
It wasn’t even on the same level!
No wonder Master Randel had been effortlessly subdued!
The Great Mushroom King roared, “You’re all so wicked, always thinking of eating me! Why do you disturb my life? Why?!!”
Whoosh!
The Great Mushroom King vanished from its spot.
In an instant.
A pressure as mighty as a mountain bore down.
“Ah!” Everyone was struck numb, staggering backward.
Hong Qianye’s face grew pale, realizing the gap was just too wide.
At this moment, he saw a figure in a black robe standing firm like a mountain, unyielding…
