Begin As A Tree: Don’t Worry. I’ll Become A God

Chapter 37: Scum of the Demon Sect

The old man originally thought that this person from the Divine Martial Sect would not be able to withstand his poisonous palm. However, he did not expect that the branch in his hand seemed to have been refined. No matter how hard he tried, he could not break through.

However, this guy was extremely careful and kept a distance from him. Even if his entire body was covered in worms, if he didn’t close the distance, his bones wouldn’t be able to get to him!

Moreover, even though spiritual parasite masters improved quickly in the beginning, the further they progressed, the slower they progressed.

This was like pulling up a tall building from the ground. It was indeed tall. It was spectacular, but the foundation was not built well. There were holes everywhere. If one was not careful, it would collapse. How could it compare to the tall building that was built bit by bit?

Seeing that he could not win against Wang Qiu, the old man had no choice but to think about it.

As he lured Wang Qiu to attack him, he moved towards his treasure chest. Initially, he did not plan to use that piece of lotus rot. However, he did not expect the people from the Divine Martial Sect to be so difficult to deal with.

No matter how precious it was, if he did not want to use it now, he would probably not have the chance to use it in the future.

Liu Chuan did not listen to his master. He stood outside the door and waited obediently. Instead, he went up to the opposite house and looked down at the battle between his master and the spiritual parasite master. As expected, even if one could not participate in the battle between experts, watching from the side would be beneficial.

It was all thanks to Liu Chuan, who was watching the battle from the side, that he could tell what the old man was thinking at a glance. It was too late for him to remind his master. Liu Chuan decided to do it himself.

Just as the old man was about to touch the box, he suddenly felt a gust of wind. Relying on his body’s self-awareness, the old man hurriedly dodged to the side. This posture was not very elegant. He used a classic dodge roll to get to the side.

The old man took a closer look and saw that the brat who had come to look for him earlier was now in the house opposite him. He had lifted the tiles from the roof and thrown them in his direction. Moreover, this guy had clearly seen through his goal. The tiles from before were deeply missing from the box.

The old man let out a strange cry. He wanted to escape, but how could Wang Qiu give him the chance? Countless branches rose in the air and transformed into countless sword shadows. The sword shadows crisscrossed and formed a sword net, trapping the old man.

Wang Qiu looked at his disciple. He originally wanted to blame his disciple for being disobedient and rashly attacking, but he noticed that the old fellow had been using force on this box just now. He thought that there must be some winning magic treasure in this box, and Liu Chuan knew it very well, so he attacked.

When he thought of this, Wang Qiu couldn’t bear to blame his disciple.

The master and disciple used special ropes to tie up the old man. Now, they were certain that this old man’s methods did not belong to the Azure Cloud Sect. It must have been someone from the Demon Sect who tied him up and brought him up the mountain to hand him to the sect master.

As for how the Sect Master and the elders interrogated this fellow, Liu Chuan did not know. He only knew that this fellow did not even arrive for two hours before he spat out the seventeen hidden spies in the Divine Martial Sect.

He also took out the pills that the old man had given him previously. Wang Qiu placed Liu Chuan’s pills in his hand and examined them carefully. In the end, he simply threw them all into the brazier.

Liu Chuan’s heart ached.

“Master, what are you doing? These are all valuable things. You threw them away just like that!”

Wang Qiu grabbed Liu Chuan’s hand and felt his pulse before heaving a sigh of relief.

“Valuable? Do you know that these pills were tampered with by that spiritual parasite master? If you eat this pill, you will have no choice but to listen to that guy. At that time, as long as you and Liu Shengtian are together, he will immediately control the parasites hidden in this pill to explode in your body. He will also quickly throw the parasites on Liu Shengtian during your contact with him. The two of you will explode and die.”

When Liu Chuan heard this, he was incomparably shocked and felt a lingering fear. Fortunately, he was careful enough at that time and didn’t foolishly put the pill into his mouth and eat it.

“Come with me!”

As Wang Qiu spoke, he called Liu Chuan to follow him. The master and disciple left their residence and arrived at the Divine Martial Sect’s arena.

“Look at this arena. Even if you don’t eat this pill, as long as you follow that old man’s plan, sooner or later, you and Liu Shengtian will stand in this arena. Parasites will also invade your body and you will also explode and die. This arena will be the Demon Sect’s Dharma artifact!” Wang Qiu pointed at the arena and said.

Liu Chuan asked in confusion, “If that old man is from the Demon Sect, why would he do this? Is it simply because he wants to do evil?”

Wang Qiu shook his head.

“It’s not that simple. The Azure Cloud Sect and the Demon Sect appeared almost at the same time in my Divine Martial Sect. There must be something going on. Although the Azure Cloud Sect doesn’t have a good relationship with my Divine Martial Sect, I think they definitely won’t collude with the Demon Sect.”

“The sect master and a few elders discussed it together and felt that it was probably a scheme of the Demon Sect. They wanted to start a war between the Divine Martial Sect and the Azure Cloud Sect. After all, the death of the successor is much more serious than the casual death of a few disciples.”

Liu Chuan asked, “According to Master, are the Divine Martial Sect and the Azure Cloud Sect going to join forces?”

Wang Qiu shook his head. “It’s hard to say. The sect master of the Azure Cloud Sect has encountered a fortuitous encounter in the ruins and is in seclusion now. Everything will be revealed when he comes out.”

…

Liu Chuan returned and told them what had happened. The few of them also felt a lingering fear. Fortunately, Liu Chuan did not eat the medicinal pill that the old man from the Demon Sect had given him.

Everyone reported the matter to the Divine Envoy who had arrived in the dream as scheduled.

After listening to them, Gu Xiao said calmly, “Got it.”

When Bai Mingxuan and the others saw that the Divine Envoy was so calm, they immediately had an idea. It seemed that everything was under the control of the Divine Tree. These major matters in their eyes were extremely small matters in the eyes of the Divine Tree.

In fact, they did not know that Gu Xiao was already very wary of the Azure Cloud Sect and the Demon Sect. If the Divine Tree Village wanted to develop, they would definitely not be able to avoid the two of them in the future. The reason why he said this was just to reassure the children.

The matter with the Divine Martial Sect had temporarily come to an end. The sect master and elders of the sect had already begun to interfere. Gu Xiao basically did not have to worry about the safety of Liu Shengtian and the others.

What he really had to worry about now was the village. A new batch of children had grown up in the village, and they had already obtained preliminary training results. Most importantly, at the critical moment of these children’s growth, it was best if no one came to cause trouble.

After such a quiet and stable life passed for a period of time, Gu Xiao enjoyed such a time very much. However, one day, Gu Xiao suddenly sensed an aura!

A huge corpse fell from the sky and landed in front of Gu Xiao! This corpse looked like a giant, but Gu Xiao could see its internal organs that were not completely dead through the corpse’s skin.

This giant actually had the organs of a spirit beast.
