At this moment, Chu Yuanba was sitting at the highest seat in the Green Frost Sect’s main hall, with Xiao Qiang and several sect leaders beside him, while Lin Ruoxi and other women were sitting with key figures from various major sects below, all anxiously waiting for the appearance of Chu Linfeng.

Especially the women, whose faces were extremely pale, with traces of tears barely visible on Nie Ling’er, Ouyang Qian, Yang Rui, and others. Xiao Qiang then spoke, "Does anyone know where the entrance to the Divine Battlefield is? I need to quickly go and help Lin Feng; the strength of the Lonely Demon Venerable is too overwhelming and I’m worried he might be in danger."

"The entrance to the Divine Battlefield was completely sealed after the great war ten thousand years ago. We don’t know how to enter it now; the only thing we can do is wait. I believe Lin Feng will be fine," the Carefree Palace Master said at this moment.

"That’s right, there’s no danger to my big brother at the moment; I can feel it. I’ve signed a Soul Contract with him, and if anything happens to him, it would happen to me too. I’m living well, which means my big brother is also fine. You all don’t need to be overly worried; just carry on with what needs to be done," Xiaoying stood out and said.

Although Xiaoying looks like a mere ten-year-old child now, no one can deny the status he holds in Chu Linfeng’s heart. With his words, everyone’s worries eased, and the expressions on the women’s faces relaxed considerably.

"Xiaoying, you’d better not lie to me; otherwise, I’ll chop you up. You should know I’m someone who keeps my word," Ye Suping said at this time.

"Why would I lie to you all? If you don’t believe it, ask Golden Fur; he also signed a Soul Contract with Big Brother. Ask him if he feels anything?" Xiaoying said sullenly, glancing at Ye Suping.

"Big Brother is indeed not facing a life-threatening situation, so everyone should not worry. With Big Brother’s strength, even if he can’t beat the Lonely Demon Venerable, he won’t be defeated. Having slain so many Dark Forces this time, we should clear the battlefield properly. Also, some have escaped, and we must quickly slaughter them wholly; otherwise, they’d remain a constant threat, and the day they rise again would pose a deadly risk to us all," the Golden Demon Vulture said.

Xiao Qiang glanced at everyone and then said, "The Golden Demon Vulture speaks wisely; we must swiftly eliminate all remnants of the Dark Forces as this is our most critical task. If Qingshuang returns to find us unable to even eradicate one Dark Force, it would be truly shameful."

"Elder Xiao, the members of the Dark Forces are not highly skilled, but their escape methods are extremely clever. They turn into a black mist and instantly vanish, leaving us with no way to find them," the Blood Evil Hall Master said at this time.

Xiao Qiang slightly furrowed his brows and said, "I indeed underestimated them this time. If I had used the Space Domain to trap those Dark Forces, such troubles wouldn’t have arisen. However, it’s pointless to dwell on it now; the priority is to locate those who have escaped from the Dark Forces and eliminate them swiftly.

Since Qingshuang isn’t here, I’m taking the initiative this time: each of the Four Major Sects should dispatch five hundred disciples to search in four directions, southeast, northwest. I refuse to believe they could hide underground. The moment the enemy’s tracks are found, report back swiftly; this time, I will personally slay all these individuals to prevent Qingshuang from giving me a bitter look when she returns."

"Wait, what did the elder say about underground? A disciple suddenly recalled that near the Yunding Mountain Range, there’s a natural cavern close to the Holy Sword Sect, which is very large and leads underground. In the past, many disciples reported frequent disappearances near the Yunding Mountain Range, and the disciple wonders if it’s related to the Dark Forces’ doings and if their lair is hidden there," the Sect Master of Holy Sword Sect said.

"It’s very possible! We’ve searched all over these years without finding anything, perhaps precisely because they are hidden in the place you mentioned. Time is of the essence, and I think we should go there immediately to check. If nothing is found afterward, discussing this matter then would not be too late," the Blood Evil Hall Master said.

"Alright then, let’s check it out this time. I won’t let these people escape by any means; it’s infuriating that they resort to the Fog Escape method to evade capture," Xiao Qiang said.

Following this, the Green Frost Sect dispatched the Barbaric Earth Dragon, Purple Demon Thunder Fox, along with Ye Suping and others. Naturally, there were over five hundred disciples under the sect, while others stayed behind to guard against potential sneak attacks from the enemy. Other sects also brought more than five hundred disciples and powerful masters within the sect, setting out in grand scale from Green Frost Sect towards the vicinity of the Yunding Mountain Range...

Meanwhile, Chu Linfeng was waiting anxiously with Chu Qing; after a day passed, both used Divine Sense to inspect the situation inside, finding the saplings had grown to the thickness of bowl edges; initially over fifty, now fewer than ten remained.

Two days later, only three remained, but it was noticeable that the Earth Element inside was significantly reducing while the trunks grew taller, penetrating into the rocks.

On the third day, another two giant trees vanished, leaving only one towering tree, and the surrounding Earth Element became even thinner. At this moment, Chu Tong was utterly unsettled, "Big Brother, this is incredible! It’s the first time I’ve seen a sapling transform into a towering tree in just three days. How did you do this?"

"It’s not me who did it; it’s your Sister Yue’Er who informed me. Due to certain special reasons, your Sister Yue’Er can’t come out, so many things require you and Qing’er to help me. Let’s wait another day; when this giant tree grows out from this mountain, the mountain will also be destroyed, and by that time you’ll see the entrance to Canglan Ancient Land. If you find it remarkable, Big Brother thinks it’s just as miraculous," Chu Linfeng said.

Another day passed, and just as dawn broke, a giant collapsing sound appeared in the ears of both. "Look, Tong’er, the giant tree has appeared, and it has already toppled the cliff; it continues to grow, stunningly miraculous," Chu Linfeng said excitedly.

"Big Brother, I feel the Earth Element there has almost completely vanished; quick, go check! If the Ancestral Soil Crystal you mentioned has been absorbed by this giant tree, it would be a great loss," Chu Tong said at this moment.

A shock ran through Chu Linfeng’s heart, and with a flash, he performed Earth Transformation and entered into the earth’s layer. At this moment, the pressure decreased considerably, and now he could directly reach the front of the giant tree with minimal pressure, though easily resisting it. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Chu Linfeng circled around the giant tree and, after glancing at the egg-sized Ancestral Soil Crystal, said, "This time, it’s finally yours; it truly wasn’t easy to obtain." (Seeking support, seeking rewards, seeking monthly votes)
