281: C281 Encounter

C281 Encounter

"This is a withered old tree, and after being struck by the lightning, it grew new leaves." On the other side, a man wearing inner armor casually said, "This is the flesh and blood of Lee Family, we should quickly make our move. Be careful not to let others destroy it."

There were five similarly dressed people beside him, four men and one woman respectively. They were the six Inner Ya guards who were previously outside the City Lord's Mansion Camp.

"Alright, let's do it." The man in the black cloak nodded.

As soon as he finished speaking, the other black-cloaked men immediately got busy, taking out a bunch of bottles and jars from around the God of Heaven Fruit Tree. The six guards didn't stay idle either. They followed the black-cloaked man's instructions and began digging.

The dozen or so people divided their work clearly, as if they had already discussed it beforehand. Soon enough, they dug out a pit of varying depth and size from around the God of Heaven Fruit Tree.

"Burrow in." The man waved his hand, and the others immediately nodded their heads, before burying the rest of the bottles.

The six guards did not interact much with the man in black cloak, but everyone was led by the man in black cloak. Even the six guards obeyed the man's orders.

Ding Yi followed closely behind Lee Wan. They quickly passed through the forest and soon arrived at the location where the Heavenly God Fruit Tree grew.

"Wait." Ding Yi suddenly frowned and grabbed Lee Wan's arm, making a silent gesture towards her as he said in a low voice, "There's someone ahead. Don't reveal your whereabouts."

"How did you know there was someone ahead?" Hearing Ding Yi's words, Lee Wan was stunned for a moment before she asked in bewilderment.

Ding Yi didn't answer her and slowly led her forward. Soon, he saw the withered tree that covered the sky.

"Deadwood for Spring!" Seeing the new branches on the dead tree, Ding Yi's expression changed.

No wonder this tree could be called the fruit of the God of Heaven Fruit Tree. Withered trees were the most precious fruits in the world, and after eating the fruit produced by this tree, even if one was unable to understand the great path of the dead tree, they would still be able to use a little bit.

At this moment, Ding Yi's eyes flashed and saw the ten-odd people under the tree.

"All buried?" At this moment, the man in black cloak suddenly asked.

Seeing the others nod, the man took a deep breath and looked at them, saying, "All of you step back. I'll cast the sealing technique!"

He could barely hear Ding Yi's words and couldn't help frowning. He muttered to himself, "Sealing technique, what are they sealing this tree trunk for?"

"What are they doing?!" Lee Wan couldn't hear what they were saying. She raised her eyebrows when she saw a group of people surrounding her family's Heavenly God Fruit Tree.

"Shh, don't worry." Ding Yi shook his head and signaled Lee Wan not to worry.

There were a lot of sealing techniques, so Ding Yi wasn't able to determine what they were trying to do. He also didn't understand why they were sealing this tree. Could it be that there was something strange with the tree?

While Ding Yi was thinking, the black-cloaked man in the distance made a new move. He stood under the big tree and everyone else all retreated a few meters away, only he stood in front of the tree trunk and looked at the refilled hole. He formed a spell sign with his hands and suddenly shouted, "Nine Spirits Seal, activate!"

The two seemed to have established a connection. Although there seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary with the naked eye, Ding Yi's expression changed as he suddenly looked at the man in the black cloak and a sharp light shot out from his eyes.

He remembered that he had only taught two people: one was a disciple from a long time ago, and the other was Jin Wudao. Could it be that this guy was Jin Wudao?!

Jin Wudao ran to the Northern Realm and sealed an ancient tree with the Nine Spirits Seal? Ding Yi couldn't figure out what this fellow was trying to do, but he wasn't in a hurry to show himself. Nine Spirit Seals were harmless to the Heavenly God Fruit Tree, because this Nine Spirit Seals was meant to deal with evil spirits.

Thinking of this, Ding Yi stretched out his finger and glanced around at the surrounding mountains and rivers. After a brief calculation, he had a guess and narrowed his eyes.

"What are you guys doing? Stop!" At this moment, Lee Wan saw that the other party was doing something to her Heavenly God Fruit Tree, so how could she bear it any longer? She immediately dashed out.

As the sound of her voice faded, Lee Wan didn't even give her opponent a chance to explain herself. She didn't care if she was the opponent of more than ten people as she directly attacked the black-cloaked man.

"Who is it?!" Hearing Lee Wan's words, a few other men in black cloaks came up to her.

The distance between the two parties was not too far, and their speeds were extremely fast as well. In almost an instant, they had arrived in front of each other. Although Lee Wan had evolved from eating Strange Fruit, she was still a Master.

However, those black-cloaked men were not to be trifled with. Both sides clashed with each other for a moment. However, Lee Wan was alone, and was soon suppressed by several people.

Bang! One of them punched Lee Wan in the shoulder and pushed her back.2

At this time, the six guards sent by City Lord's Mansion also made their moves. Normally, they did not come out of seclusion, so how would they recognize this little girl? If the Patriarch of Lee Family was standing in front of them, they might still give him some face.

The six of them were agile and immediately surrounded Lee Wan. When they attacked Lee Wan at the same time, it immediately made her flustered and overwhelmed, and she was sent flying.

Puff! Lee Wan landed heavily on the ground, a mouthful of blood flowing out. She raised her head and glared at the man in the black cloak. Seeing that he was still casting spells, she couldn't help but feel infuriated.

The Heavenly God Fruit Tree was the essence of their Lee Family, they had long recognized it as their own. Furthermore, the various great clans had an agreement with each other, how could they tolerate others getting their hands on it?

"Ah!" As she thought of this, Lee Wan let out a shrill cry. The power within her body immediately surged out and gathered in between her eyebrows.

Streaks of translucent white veined patterns appeared on Lee Wan's forehead. A terrifying aura was brewing. Upon sensing this aura, the six guards' expressions changed drastically. One of them couldn't help but exclaim, "Heaven's Eye Technique, how could she know Heaven's Eye Technique!"

"Hmm?" Jin Wudao also felt a stab of pain on his back. It was his prediction of danger, which meant that a danger was about to befall him.

Ding Yi was standing not far away and couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this scene. This Lee Wan was too impatient. She didn't even look at how many people there were and immediately used the Heaven's Eye Technique.

Thinking about this, Ding Yi no longer hesitated. He touched the iron mask on his face and took a big stride to Lee Wan's back. He pressed his finger against her back.
