After reaching the sky, the martial arts master has mastered his body in detail. If he consciously covers up his emotions, he can''t see anything from the appearance alone. Of course, this refers to the premise of "consciously" covering up.

    Ling Xuedao obviously didn''t expect that Du Ziyuan could judge whether he was lying according to an expression that lasted less than 0.2 seconds, so when Du Ziyuan directly exposed his lie, a trace of panic flashed on his face.

    He knows his injury best now. He can kill him if he comes to resist the sky, let alone an immortal who can resist the sword. But he didn''t mean to give in at all, and his hand on the handle tightened again.

    Just then, a sigh suddenly came out of the cave, and a woman''s voice came from inside: "let them in."

    The muscles on Ling Xuedao''s face trembled and looked back into the cave: "but you..."

    "Why?" the woman''s voice sounded again. "You have done well. Don''t make unnecessary sacrifices for me."

    "..." Ling Xuedao was silent. After a sigh of relief, he reluctantly stood up with a knife.

    He gave Du Ziyuan a cold look at them, and Ling Xuedao said, "come in with me."

    Du Ziyuan looked at Mu Chengan when he heard the speech: "aren''t you afraid of traps?"

    Mu Chengan shook his head and said, "no problem." these two words are quite confident.

    [worthy of being the person who came out of the door.] Du Ziyuan sighed in his heart, so he climbed down from Xiaojin''s back, and the three followed Ling Xuedao into the cave.

    After entering the cave, there was a slightly downward slope. After walking for a while, Ling Xuedao took the three people to a stone chamber about 30 meters around. In the center of the stone chamber, a two meter high, half blackened and half bare "tree" grew there. Du Ziyuan looked at the stone chamber curiously and didn''t see the figure of the woman.

    After Ling Xuedao entered here, he ignored Du Ziyuan and sat down in front of the tree, stretched out a hand and touched the dry bark affectionately: "sorry, I still can''t protect you."

    The half burnt and half bald "tree" shook the only branch. The female voice Du Ziyuan heard just now sounded again: "it''s meant to be. Why should you be sad."

    [it turned out to be a tree demon!] although he had guessed in advance, Du Ziyuan still felt a little strange when he really saw the tree talking.

    At this time, Mu Chengan suddenly opened his mouth: "I''m Mu Chengan, Penglai sword sect. I don''t know what to call my predecessors?"

    "I don''t have any formal taboo, just call me ah Zhu." the tree replied politely.

    Mu Chengan nodded: "elder ah Zhu, with all due respect, your situation doesn''t seem to be very good."

    Ah Zhu said with a smile, "ha ha, you''re so polite. I''m not so good. It''s a problem to live for a few days."

    "Hmm?" Du Ziyuan looked at ah Zhu in surprise. Although she couldn''t see her expression, she couldn''t hear the feeling of dying soon in her tone.

    Ling Xuedao''s face in front of the tree showed an extremely sad expression. It was obvious that he had great feelings for ah Zhu and knew this fact.

    "I admire Chengan''s generosity," said Mu Chengan. "I wonder if you can tell me why you''re here. I''d better report to the school. After all, the fall of a demon emperor is no small matter."

    "Demon emperor!?" Du Ziyuan and Ling Xuedao looked at Mu Chengan in surprise. After the latter took a look, he turned his eyes back to ah Zhu again, and Du Ziyuan kept staring at Mu Cheng''an.

    "Demon emperor, do you mean the kind of demon emperor in Folklore?" Du Ziyuan was a little unbelievable.

    Demon emperors can be seen in many fairy tales. This is not only a title, but also a realm. What''s the matter? Du Ziyuan''s realm is too low to understand, but in all stories, the demon emperor can compete with immortals and is the most powerful existence on huntian star.

    It is no wonder that Du Ziyuan was surprised that this legendary existence actually appeared in front of him. But the contrast between the demon emperor and the legendary powerful demon emperor is still very big. I can''t see how powerful it is.

    Mu Chengan nodded as like as two peas in the head. "A Zhu''s predecessors feel the same thing as the door of my master."

    "Ha ha," ah Zhu smiled again, "what demon emperor? It was a thousand years ago. Now I''m just an old tree about to die."

    Everyone heard that they didn''t know what to say. The feeling of hero''s twilight is the most helpless.

    Ah Zhu said, "you want to know why I''m here. I can tell you, and I can give you a gift. I just hope you can promise me two small conditions."

    Mu Chengan said, "please speak, elder." although ah Zhu is dying, he still maintains basic awe for this elder in the spiritual world.

    "The first condition is that I want you to let the child go. He''s here just to protect me. It''s helpless to kill, and I''ll bear the sin." ah Zhu touched Ling''s head with his branch, just like a loving mother touching her child.

    Mu Cheng''an said, "as long as the fighting between fighters does not affect innocent people, we will not interfere. Please rest assured."

    "That''s good," ah Chu said. "If the second condition is, I''d better tell you a story first."

    As she spoke, a red light suddenly lit up on her branch. Mu Chengan, Du Ziyuan, Xiao Jin and Ling Xuedao were all flowers in front of her. When she came back, she found that she had come to the foot of the mountain.

    "What''s going on?" when they were wondering, a figure came out from one side.

    This is a woman who looks about 30 years old. She is wearing a scarlet silk skirt, and a head of green silk is fixed with a branch. A cherry sized red fruit hung at the end of the branch.

    Her appearance is not very gorgeous, but it is very gentle. Looking at it will make people subconsciously feel close.

    "Are you... Ah Zhu?" Du Ziyuan asked.

    The woman smiled, nodded, pointed to the distance and said, "a thousand years ago, I fought with people. I fell into this mountain and changed back to my original shape. I was going to recover well."

    The four people looked along her fingers, and sure enough, they saw a half burnt and half bald tree at the foot of the mountain.

    [it turned out that she was like this 1000 years ago.] Du Ziyuan thought.

    "After about 200 years, a village has gradually formed at the foot of the mountain." ah Zhu said. The four felt that the surrounding scenery had changed and came to the village.
