Chapter 777 – A Visit from the Human Race
Chapter 777 – A Visit from the Human Race
Xu Chuniang was honored as the guest of honor and invited to participate in this celebration.
Originally, with her cultivation, it was impossible for her to be placed in the main hall.
However, the Tree Man King was grateful for her saving grace, and purposely placed Xu Chunniang at the bottom of his own table.
On this night, the entire Tree Man Kingdom was abuzz, with countless tree people running around and raising their glasses in revelry.
However, halfway through the celebration, suddenly a tree man on duty came to report.
“Your Majesty, there are several Night Fork Clan great powers visiting my Tree People Kingdom, saying that they have come to celebrate you on the orders of the clan’s honored ones.”
The Tree Man King’s brows condensed slightly before stretching out, his tone clear and cold.
“My Tree People Clan has always been kind to people, and has always been well-watered with the Night Fork Clan, so since the Night Forks are here, let them come in.”
“Yes.”
The tree man who informed him received the order and turned around to leave the great hall.
Xu Chuniang, however, was tightened in her heart, the Tree People Clan had added a new Mahayana Exalted, a matter of great importance, as fierce as the Night Fork Clan, they all sent someone to congratulate them.
Human cultivators are accustomed to paying attention to etiquette, such an event, they will not miss.
I’m afraid that it won’t be long before human cultivators arrive here.
If they knew that she was hiding in the Tree People Clan, there would inevitably be another storm.
Thinking of this, Xu Chuniang no longer hesitated and transmitted her voice towards the Tree People King.
“Your Majesty, I suddenly remembered something, and I’m afraid I’ll have to leave the Tree People Kingdom early.”
The Tree Man King was a little puzzled, “What’s so urgent? After the celebration is over, I will personally send you away.”
Xu Chuniang hesitated slightly and told the truth.
“Didn’t I say earlier that I had offended the cultivators of the seven great families of the Human Race? In a moment, if a human race cultivator comes here, I’m afraid they’ll recognize me.”
“So you’re worried about that.”
The Tree Man King dawned on her, and after a moment’s thought, he took out a roll of blackened bark and handed it to her.
“Take it.”
“What is this?”
Xu Chuniang took the bark from her, a little stunned.
“This is a Houtian treasure that I found in my clan’s treasury in my early years, and as long as I put it on after refining it, I can transform into a tree man.
This tree bark inside the law pattern, I have already helped you refine most of it, only the last bit is left unrefined, you and try to see if you can refine it.”
A Houtian Supreme Treasure, a bit higher grade than a Houtian Spiritual Treasure, was worth a lot.
Just as Xu Chuniang hesitated, another tree man on duty came to report.
“Your Majesty, there is a visit from some great powers of the human race, they claim to have come to celebrate you on the orders of the seven great lineages.”
Xu Chuniang’s heart tightened, what should have come had come!
The Tree Man King glanced at her and smiled as he transmitted his voice, “Why don’t you hurry up and refine the bark?”
Xu Chuniang no longer hesitated, her divine sense surged towards the bark, refining the restrictions in it in one fell swoop.
With a thought, she draped the bark over her body, and a magical scene appeared.
Only to see that the bark actually grew quite a bit, wrapping her entire body in it and wrapping Xu Chuniang into a tree person.
The bark fit tightly against her skin, and when she moved, the bark wrapped around her moved with her, a very strange feeling.
Seeing this, the Tree Man King smiled in satisfaction and waved his hand to make the tree man who was holding his hand retreat before transmitting his voice to Xu Chuniang.
“With this layer of bark on, those human cultivators won’t be able to recognize your true form. I have already instructed all the clansmen of the Tree People Clan not to reveal your whereabouts to anyone. And don’t worry, as long as you’re still in the boundaries of the Tree People Clan, I won’t let them hurt a hair on your head.”
Xu Chuniang was relieved, judging by the Tree People King’s attitude towards her, even if her identity was recognized by the human cultivators, they might not dare to make trouble in the Tree People Kingdom.
After the tree people on guard left, several Night Fork Race cultivators walked in.
They were taller in stature than the average human cultivator, with long and thin limbs and special masks on their faces, looking very odd.
These several Night Fork Race cultivators all had Harmonization Stage cultivation.
After they walked into the main hall, they first saluted towards the Tree Man King and offered several treasures.
“We have come by order of the Ten Heavenly Dignitaries of the Night Fork Clan to congratulate Venerable White Dye on his successful passage through the tribulation and his smooth advancement into the Mahayana Stage!”
Tree Man King Bai Dye swept his gaze over the several Night Forks and said in a faint voice.
“Exemption, my Tree People Race has always been kind to people and has been on good terms with the Night Fork Race for more than 100,000 years, I’ll accept these gifts, and I’d like to ask all of you to express my gratitude to the Ten Great Heavenly Dignitaries on my behalf.”
Two Assembled Stage Tree People stepped forward and accepted the treasures in the hands of the Night Forks, guiding them to sit down in front of an empty table.
A few Night Fork cultivators had just sat down a short while ago, and under the guidance of the two tree people, three human cultivators walked into the great hall.
The three of them bowed in unison towards Bai Dye and offered congratulatory gifts.
“We have come here on the orders of the seven great lineages of the Human Race to congratulate Venerable Bai Dye on his successful passage through the tribulation, advancing to the Mahayana Stage in one fell swoop!”
“Be excused, my Tree People Race has always been on good terms with the Human Race, the Seven Great Families have been kind, please go back and convey my gratitude to the Seven Great Families for me.”
Two tree people at the stage of merging came forward, received the treasures in the hands of the human cultivators, and were about to guide them to their seats when a human cultivator said.
“This time we have come to the Tree People Race, besides congratulating the king, there is also a small matter that we may need to trouble Your Holiness.”
Bai Dye swept a glance at the old man who spoke, “There’s no harm in saying what it is.”
The old man clasped his fists in a salute and spoke the words he had long thought of.
“It’s like this, eighteen years ago, a human female cultivator named Xu Chuniang stole my Meng family’s innate treasure, the Xuan Huang Pagoda.”
Bai Dye’s brows furrowed slightly, “Since the person who stole it was a cultivator of your human race, why do you need to inform me?”
“Your Holiness does not know, this female cultivator is very treacherous, she disappeared not long after stealing the Xuan Huang Pagoda, and I suspect that she has long since left the realm of the Human Race.
The location where she last appeared is not far from West Pole City, and it’s highly likely that she infiltrated the Tree People Kingdom.”
“I see, you purposely informed about this, do you not want me to help you find that female cultivator’s trail?”
The old man hastily shook his head, “This is a matter of my human race, so I wouldn’t dare to bother Your Holiness, it’s just that although that female cultivator’s cultivation isn’t very high, her methods are very unusual.
Since she was able to steal my Meng Clan’s greatest treasure with all her heart, she may not necessarily not be able to lay her hands on the Tree People Clan, I’m just reminding Your Majesty so that your clan won’t be deceived by her.”
“I am fully aware of this matter, and take your seat first.”
The old man didn’t say much, and after another salute, he followed behind the two Harmonization Stage Tree People and prepared to take his seat.
The other two human cultivators, on the other hand, followed behind the old man, with an appearance of looking up to the old man.
The three of them were about to take their seats, but they saw that there were a few Night Forks sitting on the opposite side of the room, and their faces couldn’t help but turn green and white, sitting was not an option, standing was not an option.
Between the Human Race and the Night Fork Race, there was no way to talk about friendship.
The Night Fork Race has been eyeing the human race’s territory and attempting to annex the human race for more than a day or two.
The two clans were mortal enemies, so how could they share a drink with the Night Fork Clan?
