372: Chapter 372 A Good Choice

John looked at the expressions of the two men, his face showing a hint of helplessness. Realizing their inner anxiety, he began to speak.

"After Ye Qing and I left..."

Then, John began to recount the events, describing the speed of the Six-Winged Sky Tiger and that great battle.

And those shadow puppets.

As they listened, their eyes widened in shock, unable to believe what they were hearing.

So that was it. It turned out that those popes and bishops were truly driven away by Ye Qing here, rather than deliberately luring Ye Qing to another place for an ambush.

Good grief.

However, King Fenghai and Joseph thought about it and realized it was true. After all, who could have imagined that a King-level Expert and so many Marquis Realm Experts would be unable to deal with a single Marquis Realm Expert?

On the side, Sophia listened with glowing eyes, looking utterly worshipful. After all, her brother was telling the story so vividly, bringing so many details back to life.

Oh no, it seems I've discovered a talent of my brother's: a storyteller!

Here, John continued his story.

He spoke of how the Six-Winged Sky Tiger smashed the Dragon down, and then they began to fight.

King Fenghai and Joseph listened, their hearts suddenly tightening with tension.

It was as if they were there in person.

They stared intently at John, waiting for what he would say next.

"Then, Ye Qing told everyone to attack together, and there was so much Sword Qi."

"Boom!"

John's single word made King Fenghai, Joseph, and Sophia all stiffen.

King Fenghai: "..."

Joseph: "..."

You kid, if you're going to tell a story, just tell it properly. You aren't just giving a flat account anymore; it feels like you're adding dramatic twists!

Then, John began to describe the sound of the explosion.

The group felt as if they were there, witnessing that explosion.

King Fenghai and Joseph were fine, as they were King-level Experts and could defend themselves even if they were at the scene of the explosion.

But Sophia was different; she was now imagining herself in the middle of that explosion.

She knew that if she were at the scene of the explosion, it wouldn't just be a matter of being blown away; she would likely be ground to dust in that blast.

Later, it was about Ye Qing going to the outer regions to wipe out the branches of the God Awakening Society and taking the assets from their headquarters.

"You guys don't know, but when Ye Qing arrived at the city where the God Awakening Society was located while carrying Kairi's head, the city lord, who was also a King-level Expert, immediately lost his nerve. Looking at Ye Qing, he called him 'Lord' with every breath, being incredibly respectful. Honestly, it was my first time seeing a King-level Expert act like that."

"After all, most King-level Experts are extremely arrogant people..."

As John spoke, King Fenghai and Joseph listened from the side, then exchanged glances.

Are they usually very arrogant?

Not really, just normally arrogant.

Afterward, John began to talk about the assets and the subsequent events.

Joseph and King Fenghai listened, and then they heard about that giant tree.

Their faces showed curiosity; they wanted to see what kind of tree this was that it was actually golden-yellow.

"Has that tree been planted yet? We want to see it."

Following King Fenghai's words, Zhou Lingxue shook her head. "King Fenghai, that giant tree hasn't been planted yet. My husband said he would wait until he finishes his bath to look for a good place to plant it. It's in the back now. Come with me, I'll take you to see it."

As Zhou Lingxue spoke, the group followed her toward the back.

A while later.

On the back hillside.

A giant tree was floating in the air.

That's right, it was floating in the air!

As if some power was holding it up!

Below it was a massive magic array, with a Bagua spinning on top; it seemed that this was the power holding it up.

Seeing this method, both King Fenghai and Joseph frowned.

What kind of power is this?

Although they didn't know, they understood that Ye Qing's power had now reached a level far beyond their expectations. After all, killing a King-level Expert, and doing so in a near-instant kill fashion—even though Kairi wasn't a very formidable King-level Expert—King Fenghai judged that he himself would find it quite difficult to achieve that.

This kid has truly grown to this point without anyone noticing.

Thinking back to when he first arrived at the Modu Barrier, Ye Qing was just a greenhorn who had just entered the Marquis Realm.

Hiss.

King Fenghai thought, but even back then, Ye Qing was already a Prodigy. Just after entering the Marquis Realm, he had slain a powerful exotic beast of the Marquis Realm, and it was a powerful aquatic beast at that.

He helped lift the siege on the Jiangcheng Barrier.

As he thought about it, King Fenghai fell into silence. A while later.

Creak.

Ye Qing finished his bath and walked out of the room, and then he saw King Fenghai and Joseph standing there, along with Sophia.

Everyone's gaze instantly fell upon Ye Qing, as if checking to see if he was injured. But Ye Qing was currently glowing with vitality; let alone injuries, not even a scratch could be seen.

It seems it was truly as John said; Ye Qing had easily killed Kairi instantly.

This kid.

"Yo, King Fenghai, you guys are here. Don't look at me like that; there are no flowers on my face..."

Ye Qing said. King Fenghai and Joseph sighed. We aren't looking at you because there are flowers on your face.

"This time, it counts as you having powerful strength, and this opponent might not have been that strong. But in the future, if you really encounter such a situation again, you must notify us first. Don't go rushing in rashly; if you fall into the enemy's trap, it will be disastrous."

King Fenghai came over and said this. Although his words were earnest, he knew that Ye Qing would, nine times out of ten, not listen to what he was saying.

This was a judgment he made based on his understanding of Ye Qing.

"Let's go, let's go out and plant the tree. This tree is a very precious exotic plant. I sensed it, and every part of it is a high-quality exotic plant, for example, its leaves, fruit, bark..."

"I heard that the God Awakening Society poured quite a lot of resources into cultivating it to this state. It seems they used a lot of exotic beast blood to water it. I'm afraid I don't have the time to water it with exotic beast blood every day."

"How about this: plant it next to the mineral vein and let it extend itself to absorb the power of the mineral vein?"

Ye Qing said, and King Fenghai nodded. "That is indeed a good choice."

"I can also send people to water it with exotic beast blood in the future."
