This medicinal powder made the Green-Faced Fiendish Lion cough for a while. It could not even open its eyes, and Ling Yao successfully landed.

She quickly packed up all the broken bones and minced meat on the ground. When she broke out of the encirclement, she was still careless. Those larger demonic beasts were easy to notice, but those smaller ones, such as Bone Eroding Ants and Fire Lizards, made Ling Yao suffer a little.

Ling Yao started to escape at an extremely fast speed. This time, the Green-Faced Fiendish Lion and countless demon beasts behind her instantly united and chased after Ling Yao.

If a Foundation Establishment cultivator wanted to escape, there were only a few people in the world who could stop him.

Ling Yao unleashed all her spiritual qi and swallowed a lot of spirit herbs before successfully escaping. The pain of the Bone Eroding Ant biting her was really unbearable.

However, the Bone Eroding Ants only hurt people very badly. She was not injured or poisoned. This was a blessing in disguise.

Ling Yao rushed in front of Gu Xiao and opened the bag on her body. From the moment Ling Yao stepped into the range that Gu Xiao could sense, he knew. Furthermore, there was a group of demonic beasts chasing behind him.

These demon beasts were not all from the forest a hundred miles away. Ling Yao had attracted demon beasts from other places along the way. Unfortunately, every demon beast had its own territory, and Gu Xiao was the strongest plant demon beast on Longevity Peak.

The tree roots that Gu Xiao had hidden underground came in handy at this moment. The tree roots drilled out of the ground to fight the demon beasts that were rushing over. Gu Xiao did not even need to control the tree roots now. As long as he set a target for them, the tree roots would automatically attack the enemy.

Even the Green-Faced Fiendish Lion could not withstand Gu Xiao’s tree root attack. It had no choice but to escape.

Gu Xiao saw that Ling Yao was injured and gave her some medicinal pills that were specially used to heal her injuries. He instructed Ling Yao not to care about anything for the time being and to recuperate well and not leave the village.

After Ling Yao returned, Gu Xiao began to absorb the energy in the broken bones and minced meat. Even though it was already leftovers, the energy contained in it was still very full and pure.

Not only was Gu Xiao very satisfied with the absorption, but even the Qilin Spirit Beast was greatly interested in these broken bones and minced meat. Gu Xiao also gave some bones and minced meat to the Qilin.

In the latter half of the night, Gu Xiao sensed that many cultivators had suddenly appeared in the vicinity. Needless to say, these cultivators had also come for the giant’s corpse. Unfortunately, they had arrived late, and the opportunities had long been divided up.

Those cultivators also noticed the village, but they did not take the Divine Tree Village seriously.

After settling down for a while, a week later, Gu Xiao was surprised to find that one of the bones that he had not absorbed completely was actually starting to grow in reverse.

In other words, this fingernail-sized bone was actually starting to repair itself. If nothing unexpected happened, if this bone was given some time, it might really be able to revive the dead giant.

This was simply too terrifying. This self-healing and resurrection ability was a heaven-defying existence no matter where it was. However, although it was growing in reverse, Gu Xiao could absorb the energy contained in it. Moreover, as long as he absorbed the energy to a certain limit, the inverse growth state would stop.

This was a good thing for Gu Xiao. Although this bone might gradually recover one day or even revive, as long as he controlled the absorption speed, he could guarantee that this bone could reach a state of eternal regeneration. This was a treasure.

Another month passed in the blink of an eye.

The sect master of the Azure Cloud Sect had come out of seclusion. The first thing the sect master of the Azure Cloud Sect did after coming out of seclusion was to invite the elders and the sect master of the Divine Martial Sect to go over for a while.

This matter could be said to have caused a huge commotion in the martial world. Everyone knew that the Azure Cloud Sect and the Divine Martial Sect were enemies. The first thing the Sect Master of the Azure Cloud Sect did when he came out of seclusion was to invite the Sect Master and elders of the Divine Martial Sect to go over.

What was the Azure Cloud Sect doing? Did they want to make peace? Or did they want to take this opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop? All kinds of voices appeared in the martial world. Everyone was curious and looking forward to it.

Xiao Xiong gathered the elders of the Divine Martial Sect for a meeting.

“What do the elders think?” Xiao Xiong asked.

The elders below couldn’t make up their minds either. They looked at each other. In the end, it was Liu Chuan’s master, Wang Qiu, who spoke first.

“Sect Master, I think we should go now. No matter what the Azure Cloud Sect is planning, at this time, especially at this time, our Divine Martial Sect can’t retreat. Everyone in the martial world is paying attention to this matter.”

After Wang Qiu made a contribution last time, he had already been promoted to an elder.

With someone taking the lead, it didn’t matter if the rest agreed or objected. As long as someone took the lead, it wouldn’t be difficult for the others to speak next.

The other elder stood up.

“Sect Master, I think that our Divine Martial Sect should be more careful at this time. It’s common knowledge that the Azure Cloud Sect is cunning. The Sect Master of the Azure Cloud Sect has come out of seclusion this time. After such a long time, he must not only be breaking through and cultivating, but also thinking about how to deal with us.”

The other elder stood up.

“Sect Master, I agree with Elder Wang Qiu. It’s only right for us to fight head-on. Although the Azure Cloud Sect has always been against our Divine Martial Sect, don’t forget that we have a trump card in our hands.”

Xiao Xiong asked with interest, “Oh? What is it?”

The elder looked at Wang Qiu.

“Elder Wang Qiu caught that person from the Demon Sect some time ago. He kept saying that he had reached some kind of condition to cooperate with the Azure Cloud Sect. It’s a rather serious matter for a righteous sect to collude with the Demon Sect.”

“If we spread all the evidence in our hands, the Azure Cloud Sect will probably not even have a foothold in the pugilistic world in the future, let alone survive in the pugilistic world. Moreover, it’s very likely that the Azure Cloud Sect will know that that person has fallen into our hands. Therefore, the possibility of them becoming enemies with us is not high. On the contrary, the possibility of them showing weakness and befriending us is very high.”

After Xiao Xiong heard this, he did not immediately express his opinion. Instead, he looked at one of the few female elders in the sect, Liu Yang’s beautiful master, Cheng Yunyan.

“Elder Yunyan, do you think we should go or not?”

Cheng Yunyan thought for a moment and stood up respectfully.

“Sect Master, what Elder Wang Qiu and the other elders said makes sense, but I still don’t think we should go. Why? The Azure Cloud Sect is involved with the Demon Sect. It’s obvious that the Azure Cloud Sect has no choice but to cooperate. Otherwise, once this matter is exposed, the Azure Cloud Sect can only be consigned to eternal damnation unless the problem they encounter is several times more serious than being on good terms with the Demon Sect.”
