Chapter 319: Chapter 293: Vermilion Bird Divine Tree, Invincible Ground

The five members of the Helian Family had lost their will to fight, but Jiang Zuo’s fighting spirit was soaring.

He had the Divine Wood Sect to take the blame now, and he had been wondering how to stir up trouble for them.

The Helian Family had walked right into his crosshairs. Jiang Zuo attacked without the slightest hesitation.

Leading his three Fifth-Tier Spirit Beasts, Jiang Zuo charged toward Helian Changpeng and the others like a Killing God.

"Master Gu, let’s talk this over!"

Helian Changpeng yelled frantically, ignoring the risk of attracting other Demon Beasts, and fled through the sky in another direction.

"Eclipse!"

Before Great Black’s Divine Technique, Helian Changpeng was simply asking for death.

Great Black moved like a phantom, its massive head suddenly appearing before Helian Changpeng.

Helian Changpeng looked on in horror as Great Black opened its blood-red maw and snapped down on his head.

Helian Changpeng wanted to dodge, but his body was completely immobilized. He could only watch in despair as the massive jaws clamped down, and he lost consciousness completely.

At almost the same instant, the other three Three Flowers Realm Cultivators from the Helian Family were killed by Jiang Zuo, the golden giant wolf, and the Pale Moon Ice Wolf.

Faced with Jiang Zuo and Fifth-Tier Spirit Beasts, the Three Flowers Realm Cultivators had no power to resist.

"Changpeng! Changrong!"

Helian Qianming let out a cry of anguish as he watched his clansmen get nearly wiped out in the blink of an eye.

After a hateful glance at Jiang Zuo, Helian Qianming no longer hesitated. He poured his Spiritual Power into the Secret Realm key in his hand.

A gateway to the Secret Realm appeared. He stepped through it and vanished from sight.

The Secret Realm’s gateway was still there; Jiang Zuo could have followed if he wanted to.

However, Jiang Zuo only glanced at it, remaining unmoved.

’I did intend to kill everyone from the Helian Family, but I’m only one person. It’s impossible to kill them all in an instant.’

’If Helian Qianming hadn’t had a Secret Realm key, he would have died at my hands in the end.’

’But with the Divine Wood Sect as a scapegoat, I don’t necessarily have to annihilate them all.’

’Letting one or two escape is also part of my plan.’

’After all, if everyone died, they might assume the Vermilion Bird killed them.’

’But now that Helian Qianming has escaped, the Helian Family will be certain that I was the one who killed their people.’

’And they’ll know my strength is far greater than that of an ordinary Dao Fruit Realm Cultivator.’

’A family like the Helians won’t have many Dao Fruit Realm experts.’

’Now that two of their Dao Fruit Realm members are dead, even if they send three or four more, they might not be able to handle me.’

’In other words, the Helian Family’s patriarch, Helian Shiping, will have to come personally and wait for me to exit, just to prevent me from escaping.’

’When I went in, Helian Shiping wasn’t here.’

’But when I’m about to come out, Helian Shiping will be.’

’That makes things interesting.’

’As for the Divine Wood Sect, unless they plan to abandon me, their Sect Leader, He Daozhen, will definitely have to come personally.’

’Given the possibility that I could tame the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast, the chance of He Daozhen not showing up is almost zero.’

’And the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect might get involved too, possibly with a Manifestation Realm grand Cultivator.’

’When I leave, I might even get to witness a battle between Venerables.’

’The Divine Wood Sect, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, and the Helian Family... no matter how they fight it out, it’s no loss for me.’

"Tsk, a bunch of paupers."

Jiang Zuo looted the bodies. From eight corpses, he only found less than two million Spirit Stones.

Luckily, there were four Fourth-Tier Spiritual Artifacts; otherwise, the haul would have been pathetic.

After hastily disposing of the bodies, Jiang Zuo activated his Sight Rune Technique again.

’Good, the Vermilion Bird flew off somewhere.’

’In that case, I’ll steal that Fifth-Tier Spirit Fire first.’

’Once the Vermilion Bird is deprived of its Fifth-Tier Spirit Fire, dealing with it will be much simpler,’ Jiang Zuo thought.

That Fifth-Tier Spirit Fire seemed to be special; he couldn’t locate it even with his Sight Rune Technique.

However, the mountain peak where the Vermilion Bird lived was quite conspicuous. Jiang Zuo immediately jumped onto Great Black’s back and had it rush over.

The golden giant wolf and the Pale Moon Ice Wolf followed closely behind. The three Fifth-Tier Spirit Beasts charged recklessly through the forest.

The Demon Beasts in the forest were startled and scattered in all directions.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Jiang Zuo arrived at the mountain where the Vermilion Bird resided.

The mountain peak looked like a huge earthen mound, upon which grew many beautiful flowers.

The flowers were a riot of color, and walking among them felt like being immersed in a sea of blossoms.

Jiang Zuo made his way up.

Soon, he gazed in astonishment at the top of the slope.

He saw the Fifth-Tier Spirit Fire the Helian Family had mentioned.

But it was vastly different from what he had imagined. This "Spirit Fire" was actually a great, blazing tree.

The tree was over ten meters tall, and its entire form was engulfed in pale green flames.

These pale green flames burned quietly, resembling individual leaves on the tree.

If Jiang Zuo hadn’t gotten closer, he would have mistaken it for an ordinary tree.

Beneath the burning tree, beautiful flowers bloomed, even more vibrant than the ones elsewhere.

It was clear this burning tree was no ordinary object!

Jiang Zuo’s interest was greatly piqued.

This was undoubtedly another Divine Tree, one unheard of in the Cultivation Realm.

"This tree is truly fated to be mine!"

Jiang Zuo exclaimed in admiration.

’It looks like my Spirit Garden is about to gain another Divine Tree.’

’The color of this Divine Tree’s flame is very similar to the Vermilion Bird’s, and the Vermilion Bird lives here, so I’ll just call it the Vermilion Bird Divine Tree!’

The Vermilion Bird Divine Tree was over ten meters tall, far larger than any Divine Tree Jiang Zuo had dug up before.

But for the current Jiang Zuo, this wasn’t a problem. It would just take a little more effort.

Taking a hoe from his storage bag, Jiang Zuo stood beneath the Vermilion Bird Divine Tree and swung it with all his might.

"This soil is unusual too. It’s actually a bit difficult to dig."

"For a Vermilion Bird Divine Tree to grow here, this soil can’t be simple. I might as well dig up a good amount of it for the Spirit Garden."
