“This is it. That kid’s presence extends up to this point, surely this is no mistake. It would be difficult to search through this vast Rushing Current Valley, yet this time, it’s without a mistaken location.”

“Even if it was right, it’s not easy to enter the Hibiscus Forest. Do you see those magnetic storms around there? Those are space cracks, if we fall in, we may not escape.”

These Supreme Dao elite warriors all discussed spiritedly as they stood still without advancing.

“We must hurry and make our move. Everyone says this is the old den of the Golden Crow. If the Golden Crow has been truly revived, we would not be able to face it!”

“Yes, long delays cause complications. Let’s just go in together. Let’s first kill that kid and then talk about other things if need be.”

...

Inside the Hibiscus Forest, Qin Wushuang had absorbed the spiritual wood essence from the Hibiscus Wood. The condensation of the essence had finally entered its final state.

“Yes, this green essence is already extremely smooth and round. I can try to see whether or not I can manipulate these trees.”

Qin Wushuang sent out a trace of spiritual perception and tried to communicate with these divine Hibiscus trees.

“Hm?” A smile emerged from Qin Wushuang’s face. Through this communication, he realized that indeed, the spiritual wood essence started operating allowing him to form a bit of communication with the Hibiscus trees. The restraints on his body also let loose unconsciously.

“Human... For all these years, you are the first one,” an ancient voice slowly emerged through his spiritual perception. “You are the first one that can contain our divine wood essence and also the first human being to form communication with our spiritual tree clan.”

“Spiritual Tree Clan, indeed...” Inwardly, Qin Wushuang was slightly astonished as he communicated with his spiritual perception. “Is this Hibiscus Forest the den of the Golden Crow?”

“Yes.”

“Is the rumor true of the revival of the Golden Crow?”

“Most likely this is true,” the voice of the Spiritual Tree Clan sounded somewhat unpleasant., “The revival of the Golden Crow is not going to be a good thing for our Hibiscus spiritual trees.”

“Why do you say that?” Qin Wushuang was moved.

“The surface temperature of the Golden Crow is extremely terrifying. As its wreaks havoc in my Hibiscus spiritual forest, the survival of my clan will be threatened. In fact, it’s not without reason that the Golden Crow became a public enemy during the immemorial period.”

Qin Wushuang slowly dwelled on these words and became thoughtful. However, his goal was to get the Hibiscus Wood. At least for now, he was not very enthusiastic about the rumors of the Golden Crow.

Just when he was about to speak, the voice of the Spiritual Tree Clan sounded again, “Human, just how many people have you bought?” His voice carried some anger.

A trace of doubt flashed across Qin Wushuang, then he understood something. “People I’ve bought here? If they are not the main force of the dragon clans, then they must be my sworn enemies that have come.”

“Sworn enemies?” The voice of the Spiritual Tree Clan sounded somewhat puzzled.

“I have offended you this time,” Qin Wushuang said. “I will immediately leave this place and guide them away. I will prevent the fires of war from spreading to your precious land.”

“It’s too late. They’ve already entered.” The voice of that Spiritual Tree Clan sounded somewhat helpless. “Although the Hibiscus Tree Clan excludes humans to some extent, you are a rare human being which is pleasing to the eye. Let us deal with these guys that have barged in with cruel intentions.”

A this moment, it seemed as though the entire Hibiscus Forest started to tremble. Like soldiers setting up a disposition of troops on the battleground, all the Hibiscus trees kept moving their feet.

They waved their branches as if they were sharp weapons wielded by soldiers.

“Stay here and don’t move. When we take control of the situation, you can decide whether you want to kill or slaughter them!” the voice of that Spiritual Tree Clan emerged again.

Qin Wushuang knew this was good advice as he also experienced profoundly the formidable power of the Spiritual Tree Clan. Across this vast Hibiscus Forest, one would not know how many of the powerful spiritual tree clans there were. Just a tiny territory over here showed such terrifying power. If the entire Hibiscus Forest moved, one could just imagine their degree of terror.

Naturally, the first group that charged in were not those Transformation Supreme Dao elite warriors. Transformation Supreme Dao elite warriors were all leaders of a territory. They possessed extraordinarily sophisticated thinking.

It’d be impossible for them to have never heard about the reputation of the Hibiscus Forest. Therefore, the eight martial artists that charged in the first wave were usually Coagulate Supreme Dao elite warriors that could not remain calm.

Through spiritual perception communication, Qin Wushuang locked onto the numbers of those martial artists.

“Eight. They are really like the locust, fearless of their lives.” Qin Wushuang was deeply moved, yet he remained out of the picture by following the advice of the Spiritual Tree Clan.

When eight figures charged into the Hibiscus Forest, all of them pulled out their weapons with excitement and began to explore at their own will. At the same time, they gave reminders to their friends on the outside to show that they were temporarily safe.

However, not long after they were feeling proud, something unexpected happened.

“Hu, hu, hu?”

Suddenly, the Hibiscus Wood in the surrounding area seemed to have grown feet as all of them moved with a rapid speed. The speed of their motion surpassed the grasp of their naked eyes.

Feeling bursts of superficial emptiness beneath their feet, they immediately felt the ground also rock at a rapid speed.

“What’s going on?”

“Everyone watch out!”

As they let out bursts of astonished cries, before they were able to react, countless vines wrapped at them from all directions.

It was like seeing a hornet’s nest being poked open. The omnipresent vines formed an air-tight and three-dimensional giant net to wrap them up tight.

“Ah!”

“No, what is this?”

Their arms, feet, neck, chest, and waist were covered with vines that wrapped each of their body parts. This vine could not be said as thick as they were at most only as thick as three fingers. If it were just one or two, most likely it would not be too much trouble to break them. However, the most terrifying part was that one could not count the number of vines. Even if they were able to break free from one or two, more vines would immediately replace them.

These tree vines had sufficient and ample toughness. Once a person was wrapped by more than ten vines, it would be difficult to break free. Not to mention, how could there just be ten on each person? There were more than a hundred of them.

Sounds of struggling, anguished wails, and shouting was heard throughout the forest.

Qin Wushuang had a lingering fear as he perceived this scene. He gained a few more insights on the formidable power of the Spiritual Tree Clan. Inwardly, he secretly said, “Indeed, the great wide world is full of extraordinary things. I just thought that human and beast clans were powerful, but unexpectedly, when plants achieve the Dao and gain their natural essence, they too can be this exceptional. Perhaps, the individual attack from this Spiritual Tree Clan would not be too surprising. However, their combined attack even surpassed most formations of human martial artists. As they collaborate with such mutual understanding and order, I am afraid only those formations that defy natural order are sufficient enough to match up with the group strategy of the Spiritual Tree Clan!”

Once again, the voice of the Spiritual Tree Clan sounded again, “Human, you do have many enemies. As we’ve tied eight here, there are a few dozen stronger ones outside. If these people are to barge in together, even if my Spiritual Tree Clan can win, we will pay a significant price!”

“Don’t worry, those are the most selfish guys. If something happens to the first group, certainly they would not dare to come in.” Qin Wushuang was rather familiar with them.

“Days ago, outside the Rising Sun City, He Ziniu and Shu Ya of the Jackal Wolf Dragon Clan tried to attack me. Those martial artists both harbored an ulterior motive and in the end, they would not dare to recklessly stop him. This time, since seven or eight Coagulate Supreme Dao elite warriors have been met with misfortune, it would be strange if those martial artists outside are not scared out of their wits! How could they dare to barge in recklessly? Even if some were to charge in, most likely none would be that foolish to stand out,” he explained.

“I hope so.” The ancient voice of the Spiritual Tree Clan gave a long sigh. “Regardless if you are a human martial artist or beast martial artist, your greatest weakness is your greed.”

Compared to the indifference of the Spiritual Tree Clan, indeed they were not calm enough and level-headed.

Qin Wushuang smiled bitterly, yet he did not refute.

“Alright, for those people, you can take care of them.”

Qin Wushuang said with excitement, “This is definitely not a problem, let me handle it!”

To Qin Wushuang, it would definitely be a feast when he caught seven or eight Supreme Dao elite warriors. Especially when he thought of how these guys were hunting him, to kill him and seize his property, Qin Wushuang felt an extra sense of vengeance.

With a flash, he already flew past where those seven or eight martial artists were held.

It could be said that besides the Xuan Yuan Mound, at least half of the Supreme Dao martial artists from other major Forbidden Spiritual Zones had come to the Endless Eastern Sea.

When those martial artists saw how Qin Wushuang moved freely at the Hibiscus Forest, incomparable amazement shone from their eyes. A form of unprecedented fear was exhibited through their eyes as they looked at Qin Wushuang.

“Everyone, there is an old saying of how a man may die for treasure, but only a bird dies for food. All of you are top-tier figures from your respective Forbidden Spiritual Zones. You gave up your comfort and were lured by the Heavenly Emperor Gate to trust a groundless rumor. Then, regardless of the distance, you came to your death in the Endless Eastern Sea.”

Qin Wushuang’s tone was taunting. As he looked at the fearful expression of these people, Qin Wushuang did not have the slightest bit of sympathy.

Among these people, which one of them was not an evil person? Which one of them did not come for Qin Wushuang? If thinking in their position, which one of them would show mercy to Qin Wushuang?

Without thinking, Qin Wushuang would be the one getting tied up, these people would not show him mercy at all. Most likely, robbing him of the Graceful Spiritual Bow would be a second option.

The rumor of that immemorial formation got let out by the Heavenly Emperor Gate and it was enough to make these people mad. Once he fell into their hands, most likely they would use all methods to interrogate him.

Thinking here, instantly the evil tendencies erupted inside Qin Wushuang’s heart.

With a leap, he scuttled onto a giant tree. Pressing with his finger, he opened his hand and activated the Deep North Skill. Through the vines, he absorbed without restraint.

Instantly, the martial artist’s entire bodies seemed to be electrified as despair shone from their eyes.

“Whoosh!”

One after the other, like a hungry ferocious mythological animal, Qin Wushuang absorbed them with his full strength. In half a day, three Supreme Dao martial artists were absorbed completely by him. All of their spiritual power was absorbed completely and their divine souls became Qin Wushuang’s prisoners.

“Indeed this Hibiscus spiritual wood is powerful. When they control the corporeal body, even the divine soul can not escape.” While Qin Wushuang merged with these divine powers, he felt immensely pleased.

Naturally, Qin Wushuang could not absorb eight Supreme Dao martial artists with one spout of breath. In spite of him having a powerful Dantian, it’d be impossible for him to absorb eight at once.

After having absorbed three of them, it would take him three to five days to integrate and digest them.

The other five Supreme Dao elite warriors were terror-stricken and kept letting out mournful howls. Their despair echoed through the woods.
