415: The decision of the masses

"What?

Taixuan Holy Son, you... you didn't misspeak, did you?

Go straight and kill the Tree Demon Clan Chief?"

Zhao Wuyuan's eyes widened upon hearing this, and he spoke in disbelief.

It had to be said that while this method sounded extremely dangerous, it actually made some sense.

Currently, the Tree Demon Clan had blockaded the Mysterious Fruit Forest.

Killing the Tree Demon Clan Chief would be equivalent to resolving the source; then, the blockade would likely be lifted immediately.

But the only problem was, could Su Yun really defeat a tree demon at the Enlightenment Realm?

Thinking of this, he fell into deep thought.

The other Cultivators were also startled by Su Yun's words, and they all gasped in shock; the surroundings fell silent for a few moments.

"Taixuan Holy Son, this... this is too risky!

That is a tree demon at the Enlightenment Realm!"

"Yes, the Enlightenment Realm is no joking matter!"

"Taixuan Holy Son, please reconsider!"

...The Saints of several other Holy Lands hurriedly tried to persuade him with concern.

They were still counting on clinging to Su Yun's coattails.

After all, the Ancient Restrictions within this Mysterious Fruit Forest were not something they could withstand.

"I have already decided. Those who are willing to go with me later, just follow me.

However, this trip is fraught with danger. Those who plan to come along must think it through carefully.

I may not be able to ensure everyone's safety completely!"

Su Yun waved his hand and spoke solemnly.

At this moment, Xie Yulan's beautiful eyes lit up. She raised her jade-like hand, waved it, and said directly:

"Junior Brother Yun!

I'll go with you!"

Wherever Junior Brother Yun was, it was the safest place.

Finding a place to hide now might be even more dangerous.

After all, various Ancient Restrictions could be seen everywhere in the Mysterious Fruit Forest.

Liu Ruoxi glanced at Li Xue and the other Yaochi Disciples.

Seeing them all nod, she also made up her mind. Her red lips moved slightly, and her voice was like a secluded orchid in a valley:

"Young Master Su, we Yaochi Disciples will advance and retreat with you!"

"Saint! We will go wherever you go!"

Li Guanshan also shouted loudly.

Hearing that some people actually agreed to Su Yun's proposal, many Cultivators in the field immediately fell into deep thought.

Some Cultivators felt that since Su Yun dared to say such a thing, he must have sufficient confidence.

Others, however, felt that Su Yun was just boasting.

"Taixuan Holy Son, we are willing to go together!"

After a moment, Zhao Wuyuan finally thought it through. He cupped his hands and spoke in a gentle tone.

Continuing to stay here would likely result in more bad luck than good, so it was better to take a gamble.

Perhaps Su Yun really had the strength of the Enlightenment Realm; otherwise, he wouldn't have spoken so certainly.

As long as Su Yun could deal with the Enlightenment Realm expert of the Tree Demon Clan, their crisis would naturally be resolved.

Seeing this, the other Saints no longer hesitated and expressed their positions one after another:

"Taixuan Holy Son, me too!"

"We too!"

"Same for me!"

...Soon, the Saints of the other Holy Lands present were all willing to lead their respective Holy Land teams to follow Su Yun.

After all, they had witnessed Su Yun's Divine Might while fighting Demon Cultivators at Dao Yi Holy Land, and they had some understanding of his formidable strength.

Many young generation Cultivators from large cultivation Families were also willing to follow Su Yun.

A portion of the Cultivators were still hesitant, not knowing what decision to make.

Another portion of Cultivators was unwilling to take the risk with Su Yun and decided to find a place to hide, waiting for rescue from the experts of various major forces outside the Mysterious Fruit Forest.

"Let's go, Fellow Daoists, it's time to set off!"

Seeing that the Taixuan Disciples had all healed their wounds, Su Yun directly transformed into a streak of light and flew in a certain direction.

Leng Xirou and the other two women followed closely behind.

The other Cultivators also transformed into streaks of light and followed.

Soon, only a small portion of Cultivators who were unwilling to risk following Su Yun remained in the vicinity.

"So many people are actually going to take a risk with the Taixuan Holy Son?"

"Yeah, are they crazy?

Daring to fight an Enlightenment Realm tree demon while only at the Dao Integration Realm—they really are tired of living!"

"Let's just hide near here for now!

The Ancient Restrictions nearby were just broken; even the Tree Demon Clan wouldn't think that we haven't left at all."

"That's a good idea!

However, we must first hide our auras."

...A portion of the Cultivators immediately took out their treasured Breath-Concealing Talismans, injected Qi to activate them, and then stuck them on themselves.

Another portion of Cultivators took certain Breath-Concealing Medicinal Pills or operated special Cultivation Techniques.

A small number of Cultivators took out Spiritual Artifacts specifically for hiding auras.

Soon, their auras vanished directly, seemingly merging with the surrounding environment.

Afterward, they flew directly into the nearby woods to hide... Not long after, an Extreme Frost Tree Demon at the Integration Stage, Tenth Layer Realm arrived from afar with several tree demons at the Dao Integration Realm.

After sensing the traces of battle around them, they said with some confusion:

"Where are the clansmen stationed here?

Why are they gone?

Could they have been discovered by outside Cultivators?

And then killed?"

"Then hasn't our Tree Demon Clan been exposed?

And those outside Cultivators, we don't know where they've fled!"

"Let's check the status of the Ancient Restrictions nearby first!"

The Extreme Frost Tree Demon reached out, circulated Qi, and released a large number of branches that plunged directly into the earth, beginning to control the Ancient Restrictions hidden around.

The authority to control the Ancient Restrictions within the Mysterious Fruit Forest was actually granted by their Clan Chief.

Only a few Enlightenment Realm Elders and tree demons like them at the Integration Stage, Tenth Layer Realm possessed this ability.

"As expected of Ancient Restrictions; although they suffered serious damage not long ago, they have already automatically repaired more than half.

Eh, there are actually some fish that slipped through the net!

Outside Cultivators, how bold!

You actually dare to hide right under our noses?

Since you're hiding in those woods, then stay there forever!"

The Extreme Frost Tree Demon glanced at the woods where those Cultivators were hiding and let out a gruesome laugh.

Immediately, he directly manipulated the surrounding Ancient Restrictions. Endless ancient spiritual runes appeared in the air once again, releasing various Spells and attacking the Cultivators hiding in the woods.

"What's that noise?

What's happening?"

"The Ancient Restrictions nearby have been activated again?"

"It's probably an accident!

We're all well-hidden; we shouldn't be discovered!"

"Oh no, the Spells released by these Ancient Restrictions are attacking us!"

"It's over! If I had known, I wouldn't have hidden here!"

"No..."

...The group of Cultivators hiding in the woods was forced to reveal themselves and flee in all directions, but it was of no use.

Before, with so many people joining forces, they could barely withstand the Spells released by the Ancient Restrictions.

But now that there were so few of them, they couldn't withstand these Spells at all.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

Various Spells exploded directly, and the group of Cultivators was soon blown to ashes.
