"Brother Yang." Xian'er immediately started softly complaining, telling Wei Yang everything that happened earlier. Her tone carried a hint of grievance as she talked about how hateful Hun Yu and the others were, and how worried she had been during this time.
This rare little-wife behavior even made Wei Yang feel a bit surprised. Xian'er had always been calm and gentle. Even in front of him, her husband, she rarely acted like this.
She didn't behave like this even when she was young, and after becoming a mother, it happened even less. Over the years, it had practically disappeared. This alone showed how much pressure she had been under lately.
The moment she saw her husband, she couldn't help but reveal such a soft and aggrieved expression. Thinking of this, Wei Yang couldn't help feeling a wave of tenderness and heartache. Ignoring everyone present, he gently tightened his arm around her and let her lean against his chest.
"People are watching." Xian'er's cheeks flushed.
She pushed at him with both hands, and when she realized she couldn't move him, she simply turned her head away and stopped responding. Not only Wei Yang, but Xiao Yan also heard her words. He turned to look at Gu Xun'er, eyes carrying a silent question.
Gu Xun'er lightly nodded. "Everything Sister Xian'er said is true."
Immediately, Wei Yang and Xiao Yan's gazes shifted toward Hun Yu, Jiu Feng, and the others not far away.
The moment Hun Yu and the rest felt those direct, piercing gazes land on them, their bodies trembled in unison. They quickly gathered together, circulating their Dou Qi, watching Wei Yang and Xiao Yan with extreme caution and vigilance.
Their posture was clear.
The moment Wei Yang or Xiao Yan made even the slightest unusual move, they would take action instantly and fight with everything they had. Seeing that just one look from him made them act like they were facing a great enemy, Wei Yang's expression remained indifferent.
Xiao Yan, however, revealed a faintly amused smile at the corner of his lips. A refreshing sense of satisfaction rose in his heart. The Hun Clan and the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan — these two clans that once made him wary — now, that fear had long vanished without a trace.
As for people like Hun Yu and Jiu Feng, in his eyes, they were already nothing more than small characters. Xiao Yan now had absolute confidence that he could toy with the two of them in the palm of his hand.
This was the most direct sensation brought to him by the vast, roaring power surging through his body. Seeing the mocking smile on Xiao Yan's lips, Hun Yu and Jiu Feng clenched their fists tightly inside their sleeves. A wave of humiliation surged in their hearts.
The person who used to be the "small character" in their eyes had now, almost overnight, climbed above their heads.
That feeling… was extremely unpleasant.
Especially for Hun Yu. The gentle smile that normally hung on his face had already vanished. His eyes were filled with anger and darkness. From Xiao Yan's current aura, he felt a true sense of danger — a danger of death.
This sense of danger… even seemed stronger and more direct than what he felt from Wei Yang a month ago. Among those of his generation, he had only ever felt this level of threat three times in his life.
That madman from his clan… Wei Yang… and now Xiao Yan — the third one.
Which meant that, in this world, among his generation, there were now three people capable of crushing him!
How could Hun Yu possibly accept that?
"Just comprehending under the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree can give someone something this ridiculous? Why wasn't that person me?" Hun Yu nearly ground his molars into powder, filled with jealousy and unwillingness.
"That kid trained inside the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree for a month and jumped from One-Change straight to Ban Sheng!" Jiu Feng's face darkened. He gritted his teeth as he spoke.
If he had known they would gain such a huge opportunity, then after breaking through the beast tide, he shouldn't have held back. He should've directly summoned clan experts to kill Wei Yang and Xiao Yan on the spot. That way none of this would've happened.
Hun Yu thought the same.
If he could redo it, he would rather summon the clan's power directly and have everything erupt into a full battle. Even if no one ended up obtaining the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree's opportunity, that would've been better than letting Wei Yang and Xiao Yan take everything.
But they didn't know the truth.
If not for Wei Yang and Xiao Yan helping the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree remove the negative emotions of that Dou Di expert, everyone present would still be trapped inside illusions, eventually sinking completely.
In the future, they would have ended up exactly like the five Ban Sheng puppets they saw earlier.
No soul, no consciousness — nothing but walking corpses.
In a certain sense, Wei Yang and Xiao Yan had actually saved everyone here. While Hun Yu and Jiu Feng were filled with countless thoughts—
"Annoying clowns… who's taking the shot, you or me?" Wei Yang held Xian'er close as he spoke calmly.
"I'll go. I've been wanting to teach them a lesson for a while now." Xiao Yan stepped forward, licking his lips. "Besides, killing two little chicks… you really don't need to waste your butcher's blade on them."
"Then do as you like. We don't have much time — make it quick." Wei Yang nodded.
"Relax." Xiao Yan nodded back.
Hearing this, the crowd immediately backed far away, giving them as much space as possible.
The atmosphere froze. A fight was about to erupt.
Buzz—
But at that moment…
From within the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree, waves of emerald radiance suddenly burst out, as if something was about to forcefully emerge. Seeing the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree react like this, everyone turned pale and retreated in shock.
They already had a deep understanding of how terrifying this tree was. Naturally, no one dared be careless. Only Wei Yang, Xiao Yan, and the others remained unmoving, instead staring at the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree with a hint of confusion.
Pupupupu—
A series of faint muffled sounds echoed from inside the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree. Then, countless emerald light specks shot outward, finally floating quietly in the air above Wei Yang and Xiao Yan like a sky of green stars.
Seeing this, Wei Yang immediately understood — the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree was giving them a parting gift.
"My god!"
"That's… Bodhisattva Seeds!"
People in the distance froze, and then cries of shock erupted uncontrollably.
"All of those… are actually Bodhisattva Seeds!?"
Hun Yu and the others were equally stunned, unable to believe that these seeds — which were unimaginably rare and precious in the outside world — were being produced in such a quantity here.
Nearly forty Bodhisattva Seeds. Nearly forty! Any one of these alone would be enough to start a war outside!
The atmosphere fell silent for an instant.
Then—
"Grab them!"
As soon as the shock passed, the eyes of most people turned instantly blood-red.
Powerful waves of Dou Qi burst out, and countless palm imprints shot toward the floating emerald lights in a frenzy.
"Idiots."
Wei Yang spat out two words, and Xiao Yan let out a cold chuckle.
Wei Yang simply raised his hand and lightly beckoned.
In an instant—
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
The emerald lights floating in the air seemed to receive a summons. They dodged all the grabbing hands in a blink and shot straight toward Wei Yang like swallows returning to their nest, gathering perfectly in his palm.
"Many thanks for your gift, Brother Bodhisattva Tree."
Holding the Bodhisattva Seeds, Wei Yang and Xiao Yan both turned toward the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree and smiled as they expressed their gratitude.
Rustle…
The branches and leaves swayed, as if responding… and saying farewell.
"You're leaving now?" Wei Yang murmured softly, a hint of reluctance in his heart.
Once they parted here, who knew how long it would be before they met again?
Xiao Yan also fell silent, feeling the same unwillingness. The Bodhisattva Ancient Tree had treated the two of them immensely well. Yes, they helped the tree too — but compared to the countless benefits they received… their effort was practically nothing.
