As the prison soul of the wood left, the dense ancient trees underwent tremendous changes.
The originally green and lush leaves began to turn yellow at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then withered and fell...
But in the blink of an eye, the huge branches and leaves like a giant mountain umbrella were left with only a support like an umbrella frame, and the support was lifeless and no longer had any vitality.
This tree has been growing here for at least tens of thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years, and has already reached the end of its life.
The reason why it is still alive and has such strong vitality is because of the existence of the Wood Hell Soul.
Now that the prison soul of the wood has left, this ancient tree is like a fish that loses water and cannot live long.
"boom!"
There was a loud noise, and the huge ancient tree collapsed.
As the ancient tree collapsed, cracks appeared in the ancient tree that was integrated with the tree body.
However, it did not collapse.
Zheng Zhi achieved his goal and did not stay any longer.
Go back the way you came and retreat quietly.
Although the avenue of flames that Huo Ling'er paved for him has been extinguished, the remaining firelight can still illuminate the way back.
There were many surprises along the way.
The night was as dark as ink, and the moon shadow formation seemed to be sleeping, without any movement.
In fact, what Zheng Zhi didn't know was that the Moon Shadow Derivative Formation had lost its vitality.
The core power of this formation is the Hell Soul of Wood. It is only through the regeneration power of the Hell Soul of Wood that it can exert its power and remain intact for thousands of years.
But once the wood prison soul leaves this space, the formation will lose its source of energy.
Naturally, the large formation became a dead formation and could no longer operate.
And just after Zheng Zhi left the top of the mountain, all the lush trees began to wither.
The breeze swept over and turned all the dead trees into ashes.
And the forest that was full of life a moment ago turned into a barren wasteland in the blink of an eye.
At a glance, it looks as barren as a desert.
However, Zheng Zhi did not notice that it was the blood-colored coffin on the top of the bone tower, which shook slightly...
Leaving the world on the top of the mountain, Zheng Zhi walked down the stone steps.
Soon, Zheng Zhi returned to the space on the mountainside.
But when he first entered the space, what he saw in front of him made Zheng Zhi's face instantly darken.
Under his sight, many geniuses were there.
However, at this moment, they were all wrapped up in blood-red chains.
This chain is very strange.
Above, there is a strange power engraved on it. This power not only limits their star power, but is also constantly devouring their blood.
At first glance, it is the method of the Blood Demon Clan!
Only the blood demons master this strange skill of devouring blood.
Under this chain, even Chen Xin, Huang Feilong and others have no ability to resist at all.
Not only Chen Xin and Huang Feilong, but also Duanmu You and Long Chen were controlled by the blood chain.
However, Xia Qiuchan and Sai Xishi did not have chains on their bodies.
However, the two palms were holding down the heads of the two women.
With just one tap, the two girls will disappear on the spot.
And in the middle of the two women, stood a man in black.
The man's appearance was unremarkable, but the slightly surging aura around him made Zheng Zhi feel nervous.
This breath is evil and terrifying.
"Zhang Lin?"
Zheng Zhi recognized the man in front of him.
This person is also a member of the Tianjiao Star List.
However, Zhang Lin's ranking is not high, only ranked thirty-two, and his strength is only at the peak of the eighth-level star, so he is naturally ignored.
Whether it was in the Xue Ming Martial Arts Association or after entering Xue Ming Mountain, this Lin had no outstanding achievements, so his sense of presence was not high.
The reason why Zheng Zhi was able to remember this name was only because he had seen the Prodigy Star List before the opening of the martial arts competition.
And at this moment, Zhang Lin is still the unknown person?
The pressure of a person in the middle stage of Silver Moon Realm is several times stronger than that of Long Chen.
"Brother Zheng, I'm sorry, I didn't handle the matter well."
Long Chen, who was imprisoned by the blood chain, smiled bitterly.
He looked at Zhang Lin aside, his face full of unwillingness.
The reason why he was trapped by the blood chain was not because of his lack of ability, but because Lin did not use normal means at all.
They didn't even react, their bodies were already wrapped in blood chains, and they had no chance to resist.
By the time I noticed it, it was already too late.
If he were to fight alone, Long Chen asked himself that even if his cultivation level was lower than Zhang Lin's, he would still be able to fight.
But this guy doesn't care about martial ethics at all.
Duanmu You was also extremely depressed.
Obviously his mood would not be any better than Long Chen's.
"Unexpectedly, you are the one who hides the deepest."
Zheng Zhi took a deep breath and stared at Zhang Lin with cold eyes.
At this moment, how could he not understand?
This person is the person behind the scenes.
Zheng Zhi's guess was absolutely correct.
Ever since he entered Blood Emperor Mountain, he had always felt that there was a pair of invisible hands controlling everything.
Originally it was just a guess, an intuition.
Now it seems that Zheng Zhi's intuition is very accurate.
The truth is revealed!
"Zheng Zhi, you are finally back."
Zhang Lin stared at Zheng Zhi and curled his lips: "Introduce yourself, I, Wu Xuan, you can also call me... the Holy Son of the Blood Demon!"
"The Son of the Blood Demon?"
Zheng Zhi was stunned.
There were thousands of waves in his heart, but his face remained calm: "I see."
Whether it was the Insect Emperor in the Twilight Plain or the subsequent interception and killing by Pu Sheng and others, including the encounter between Duanmu You and himself, it was not a coincidence, but someone deliberately guided it.
This person not only knows Xue Ming Mountain well, but also has extremely good concealment skills.
Pu Sheng did not have this condition.
Because this person’s understanding of Xueming Mountain is even better than Pu Sheng’s.
If it was the Blood Demon Son, then everything would make sense.
Of course, what shocked Zheng Zhi was that the Blood Demon Son was still alive.
"I know what you are wondering."
Wu Xuan smiled and said: "I, the Holy Son, don't mind answering your questions."
Seemingly feeling that victory was within his grasp, the Blood Demon Saint did not panic at all, and even had the leisure to chat with Zheng Zhi for a while.
He smiled and said: "I am not Zhang Lin. The real Zhang Lin disappeared after the Blood Ming Martial Arts Tournament ended."
