Chapter 609: Chapter 611 I’m Afraid I’ll Kill You!

Meet my wife?

Meet my mother-in-law?

“Little brother, are you sure you got that right?

This is Li Mountain, where would your wife and mother-in-law come from?

Are you sure you didn’t come to the wrong place?” the tree that Yang Yan was leaning against said in surprise.

More roots of the Xing Xian tree burrowed out.

“Your wife wouldn’t happen to be some tree demon who escaped from Li Mountain, would she?”

“Or maybe she’s just a tree demon from this very mountain?” Li Xian followed up.

Tree demon?

Yang Yan looked at the roots… he couldn’t handle the notion!

“Kid, the wife you’re talking about, could she be the daughter of the Saint Mother?” Grandma Ku’s voice came from a hollow in the old tree roots.

Her words startled all the tree demons in the area.

A moment of silence erupted into commotion.

“Is she Miss Yanran?”

“Miss Yanran did indeed leave for an extended period once!”

“If it’s truly Miss Yanran, then wouldn’t his mother-in-law be the Saint Mother?”

The tree demons all stared intently at Yang Yan, waiting for his answer!

“That’s right, my wife is Wang Yanran.

My mother-in-law is naturally the Sacred Mother of Li Mountain!

Also known as the Saint Mother you all speak of!” Yang Yan admitted directly.

Since he had come here, he wouldn’t choose to evade or hide!

It truly was the Sacred Mother of Li Mountain!

The group of tree demons fell silent before him!

“Didn’t you all know?” Yang Yan asked with a frown.

The day he married Yanran, although Yanran had mentioned it before,

she went to Dongzhou to get married, not just to avoid drawing attention.

But also to transfer the Innate Divine Dragon Energy within her to her husband, so he could take her place in death.

He didn’t die!

Although he expected that the outside cultivators wouldn’t know about his marriage to Yanran when he came here,

he hadn’t anticipated that none of the tree demons under the Sacred Mother of Li Mountain would know about it!

If it weren’t for the fact that these tree demons found him handsome and hesitated to make a move,

they might have already started a fight, and he would have had to strike back by now!

The tree demons shook their heads, indicating they didn’t know about this matter.

“Kid, are you telling the truth or not, say it again!

This time, think carefully before you speak.

The Saint Mother’s daughter is as pure as jade and not to be desecrated by outsiders!

If you speak carelessly, we won’t let you off easily!” At this moment, a massive tree stump, dragging earth and soil, came from afar.

It wasn’t a tree, just an old stump as tall as a child!

An old face emerged on the stump, looking at Yang Yan with a sullen expression!

“Why would I deceive you, if you don’t believe me, you can take me to see the Saint Mother.

I am willing to confront her face to face!” Yang Yan said solemnly.

*Hiss!*

Upon hearing that Yang Yan wanted to meet the Saint Mother, the tree demons exchanged glances, not daring to speak!

They didn’t even know how to respond!

The old stump dragged the soil, approaching closer.

The old face watched Yang Yan for a while.

“Kid, are you sure you want to meet the Saint Mother?”

Yang Yan nodded slightly.

“Yes, I came here precisely to meet the Saint Mother once.

And while I’m at it, to see if my long-unseen wife is doing well!” he said calmly.

As Yang Yan spoke, the roots of Grandma Ku approached the old stump.

“Old tree stump, his words are so firm, there’s some truth in them!

In my opinion, you’re the oldest and highest cultivated here.

What’s your opinion, do you believe him?

Next, should we stop him here and kill him?

Or do we believe his words and send him up together?” she inquired.

The eyebrows on the old face of the tree stump twitched.

“His words have thirty percent credibility!

And he possesses the courage to face the Saint Mother directly!” he said.

“Then shall we send him up?” Xing Xian immediately said.

The roots of the tree stump penetrated into the soil, and it sat down.

“Sending him up is certainly impossible.

Without the command of the Saint Mother, the Immortal Bird,

we can only move within the range of halfway up the mountain, other areas are off-limits,

and our cultivation level can’t reach the top!” he replied.

“Moreover, if he truly were the Saint Mother’s son-in-law, I imagine the Immortal Bird, and that tree, are already aware of his arrival.

They would have reported it to the Saint Mother!

The Saint Mother would open her mouth to let him go up.

But now, there’s no change on the mountain, proving there is doubt about his identity.”

Li Xian rushed out from the soil.

“Grandpa Shu, what is your decision, just say it plainly!

You’ve been talking for quite some time, but it’s all just talk, it’s driving me crazy!” she hurriedly conveyed.

The old tree stump sighed.

“This matter is hard to decide, after all, neither the Immortal Bird nor the Saint Mother have ordered us to drive him away, nor to stop or kill him!

Nor have they instructed us to escort him up, or let him in!”

Its demeanor was aged, displaying a hint of hesitation!

“In that case!

Kid, since you managed to marry Miss Yanran, gaining her favor,

I think your strength must be extraordinary.

If you can withstand one move from me, I’ll let you go up.

If you can’t, then don’t blame us for being impolite!” it followed up.

It intended to make a move on Yang Yan!

Li Xian quickly interjected.

“Grandpa Shu, you exist at a level comparable to the King Realm, isn’t fighting him bullying him!”

“Indeed, this one move from you could easily kill him!” Xing Xian also said.

“You two, hold your tongues!”

The old tree stump gestured to Yang Yan.

“It’s your call, do you agree or not?”

Yang Yan looked at the old stump’s aged physique.

“I’m afraid if I kill you, I won’t have a way to explain it to my mother-in-law!”

After all, he came here to see his wife, to see his mother-in-law.

Not to kill his mother-in-law’s subordinates!

“Sir, you’ve got it wrong, it’s Grandpa Shu making a move on you, not you on Grandpa Shu,” Xing Xian blurted out.

The old tree stump snorted coldly.

“Kid!

Even if you struck, you wouldn’t be capable of killing me!

Not to mention if I make my move against you!

Enough talking, do you agree to take my move or not!”

Yang Yan said without hesitation.

“Alright, I’ll take it!”

As soon as he agreed, the roots of the old tree stump burst from the ground.

Massive roots, like sharp swords, thrust toward Yang Yan.

“Grandpa Shu, go easy on him!” Li Xian shouted.

The old tree stump didn’t look back and said,

“I know!”

The roots tore through the air, carrying a fierce wind.

“Seeing as you didn’t want to kill me, and are under my mother-in-law,

I’ll use just one finger to take this move of yours!”

Yang Yan raised his hand gently, extending one finger.

A thick root struck his finger, and suddenly!

The thick root exploded suddenly.

A vast power surged back.

The old tree stump shuddered, hastily retracting the other thick roots it had released.

Yet it was too late, the entire stump was enveloped by the vast force, lifted from the ground and flung away.

Almost uprooted entirely, it took this patch of trees and soil with it.

The entire cohort of tree demons was stunned.

Once they snapped back to reality, they rushed to the uprooted old stump.

“Grandpa Shu, are you alright?”

The old tree stump gasped.

“Got away… I severed several roots myself,

otherwise, otherwise I would have died!

Such terrifying reverse force!”

It gasped for breath.

“I lost, he can go in.

Wait, where is he?”

In a blink, they could no longer see Yang Yan.

“He must have went in!” the roots of Xing Xian said.

The old tree stump sighed with relief.

“Let him in, his strength is sufficient to go in.

I believe the Saint Mother also wished to test his strength, which is why she hasn’t said anything.”

“Yes.”

Rooting beside the trembling Grandma Ku.

“Thank goodness I didn’t make a move to kill him and use him as fertilizer.

Otherwise, it’d be me turned into fertilizer!”

Yang Yan didn’t pay attention to the tree demons’ situation.

Nor did he bother asking them about the Sacred Mother of Li Mountain, for through the old tree stump’s words,

he roughly guessed that while the Sacred Mother knew of his arrival, she had no intention of letting him in.

Now he walked through a patch of thorns, initially a small path.

It became narrower and narrower, the surrounding thorns almost obstructing his way, pricking his body!

“Mother-in-law, oh mother-in-law, must you make me carve my way through?” Yang Yan looked up towards the mountain top.

Then he put away the Book of Salvation, slowly rolling up his sleeves.
