Chapter 2122 Conditions, Agree
The spear in Songmu's hand flew towards him as swiftly as a dragon.
Its speed was so fast that it was impossible for the divine sense of an ordinary early-stage Celestial Immortal to detect it.
However, Chen Xuan secretly activated the Heavenly Illusion Demon Eye, and saw Song Mu's attack clearly.
"Hehe, its power is indeed considerable. It's a pity that it's all pure wood-attribute rule power, lacking domineering and forceful qualities!"
Chen Xuan smiled indifferently.
With a flick of his finger, a thick, dark chain suddenly appeared out of thin air.
Before he could release the spear from the gate, it fell on him.
With a clang, the dark chains bound the pine log tightly.
Even though Songmu was also at the early stage of the Celestial Immortal realm, he couldn't break free from the dark chains no matter how hard he tried.
On the contrary, the more they struggle, the tighter they are bound.
"Who...who are you? And why are you so powerful?"
Songmu glared angrily at Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, completely ignoring Song Mu.
His calm gaze fell upon another towering ancient tree atop the cliff.
"Fellow Daoist, since you've been watching for so long, why not come down and give it a try?"
"If I lose, how about we cancel the deal?"
Chen Xuan's voice was very calm.
It was as if they were talking about something that had nothing to do with them.
Unexpectedly, Tian Kumu, who was secretly observing from the shadows, gave a bitter smile.
Soon, he moved swiftly and arrived several hundred feet in front of Chen Xuan.
At that moment, Tian Kumu took a deep look at the pine tree and then let out a long sigh.
"Alas, I told you long ago. Although you are a genius of our tree spirit clan, you are still inferior to these outsiders. But you never listen."
"Last time, because of you, we suffered heavy losses. More than a dozen of our clansmen were seriously injured!"
"If it weren't for the timely intervention of the clan leader and the others, they would probably have perished."
"After you return this time, you should go to the Cliff of Repentance for seclusion!"
"You can come out again when you've changed your temperament!"
Although Songmu was unconvinced, his expression changed drastically upon hearing what Tiankumu said.
Especially when he thought about the icy, bone-chilling wind on the Cliff of Repentance of the Tree Demon Clan, which could penetrate to the depths of one's soul, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
"Third Elder, I know I was wrong, okay? Please, have mercy on me!"
"Heh, what's the use of begging me now? Anyway, you're already tied up here and can't move at all!" Tian Kumu sneered.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan immediately understood the meaning of the Heavenly Withered Tree.
He immediately released the chains of the Five Elements rules with a thought.
"I am Chen Xuan of the Longevity Immortal Sect. I greet the Third Elder of the Tree Demon Clan!" Chen Xuan clasped his hands in greeting to the Heavenly Drywood.
Seeing that Chen Xuan, with only the early stage of the Heavenly Immortal realm, had subdued Songmu in an instant, Tiankumu naturally dared not be arrogant.
He also clasped his hands in thanks to Chen Xuan and said, "Thank you for your magnanimity, fellow Daoist. However, I cannot agree to the cooperation you just mentioned."
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Tiankumu didn't even listen to my cooperation proposal, how can you refuse so decisively?"
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Chen, do you really think our tree demon clan has lost its hearing and sight?"
Tiankumu gave a cold laugh.
His voice rang out again.
"Not long ago, I heard that among you outsiders, a sect called the Heavenly Sword Immortal Sect made a bold statement, challenging your Longevity Immortal Sect to a fair fight in Heavenly Sun Valley!"
"Fellow Daoist Chen, your presence on our Tree Demon Clan's territory at this moment is an attempt to drag our Tree Demon Clan into the war between your two sides!"
"Do you know how much your decision will cost our tree spirit clan?"
"We, the tree spirits, do not cause trouble or disaster. We just want to live peacefully in our own territory. What have we done wrong?"
Tiankumu kept sneering.
His heartfelt words made Chen Xuan feel somewhat ashamed.
However, he knew very well that relying solely on the experts of the Longevity Immortal Sect was no match for the Heavenly Sword Immortal Sect.
If he cannot persuade Tian Kumu, the cooperation will probably have to be abandoned.
“Fellow Daoist, you are absolutely right. I have indeed come here to invite your Tree Demon Clan to cooperate with our Longevity Immortal Sect to deal with the Heavenly Sword Immortal Sect!”
"I know that your tree spirit clan does not want to get involved in our battle."
"But have you ever considered that the more you act this way, the more miserable your tree spirit clan's fate will become?"
"Heh, those guys from the Heavenly Sword Immortal Sect are so arrogant. Even when they encounter strong individuals like us from the Longevity Immortal Sect, they still act all high and mighty!"
"If they defeat our Longevity Immortal Sect this time, your Tree Demon Clan will likely suffer the same fate as our Longevity Immortal Sect."
"If our Longevity Immortal Sect wins, I guarantee I will not invade your Tree Demon Clan, how about it?"
As a late-stage Celestial Immortal, Tian Kumu naturally had his own judgment regarding Chen Xuan's words.
Yet, his gaze remained perfectly calm.
He seemed completely unmoved by Chen Xuan's words.
After a pause, seeing that Tian Kumu still didn't speak, Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow.
"It seems that the price I offered wasn't enough to sway Tian Kumu!" Chen Xuan thought to himself.
Soon, a slight smile appeared on Chen Xuan's lips.
His gaze returned to the withered tree in the sky.
"Fellow Daoist, if your tree demon clan has any conditions, please feel free to speak them."
"Hehe, fellow Daoist, please leave. Our tree demon clan has no conditions whatsoever. We have absolutely no desire to participate in the battles between you outsiders."
"This……"
Chen Xuan was stunned.
Soon, he looked at the pine tree beside him and sighed meaningfully, "What a pity. I had prepared some highly effective healing pills as a token of my sincerity to give to your tree demon clan. Now it seems that it was all for naught."
Just now, when he fought with Songmu, he clearly felt that the output of immortal power in Songmu's body was very uneven.
It must be because he was seriously injured and has not yet fully recovered.
In Chen Xuan's view, the fact that Songmu's injuries had been prolonged until now was enough to show that the tree demon clan did not have any suitable healing pills.
That's why he said that on purpose at this moment.
"Fellow Daoist, do you really have healing pills on you?"
Before Tiankumu could speak, Songmu couldn't help but ask.
"Hehe, I naturally have healing pills, and quite a lot of them. It's a pity that your tree demon clan is unwilling to cooperate with me, so I naturally cannot hand over these pills to you. In addition, I advise you to give up the idea of snatching the pills from me."
Chen Xuan smiled indifferently.
The next instant, he had a thought and released the Gold-Eating Insect swarm.
Wow!
Fifteen thousand gold-devouring insects flapped their wings incessantly, appearing all around the crowd.
The ferocious gold-devouring insects all glared menacingly at the powerful tree demons.
He Rangtian, Kumu, and the others immediately changed their expressions drastically.
"What a ferocious insect."
"They're all spirit insects at the Earth Immortal level? So powerful!"
"That's right. If we really start fighting, these spirit insects will be enough to give us a hard time."
The powerful members of the tree spirit clan were secretly discussing among themselves.
Now, Tian Kumu's expression also turned somewhat ugly.
He remained silent for a long time before finally sighing.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, I cannot make the decision on our cooperation alone."
"However, if you're willing, could you perhaps have a proper talk with our tree spirit clan?"
"Currently, our Tree Demon Clan Chief is in seclusion for cultivation. The clan has a First Elder and a Second Elder, who, together with me, are in charge of affairs."
"If we want to cooperate with you, we need the consent of all three of us elders!"
Seeing that the withered tree had finally relented, Chen Xuan was overjoyed.
With a thought, he retracted the swarm of gold-devouring insects and then smiled, "Thank you, fellow Daoist. In that case, please lead the way!"
"Fellow Daoist Chen, please come with us."
Tian Kumu nodded, gesturing for Chen Xuan to follow him.
As for Songmu, he was quite curious about Chen Xuan.
Along the way, he followed Chen Xuan and kept asking him about the healing pill.
Chen Xuan did not refuse.
Taking this opportunity, they also learned that the Tree Demon Clan and the experts of the Heavenly Sword Immortal Sect had recently fought a fierce battle, but the Tree Demon Clan suffered a great loss at the hands of the Heavenly Sword Immortal Sect experts.
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Songmu, it seems your tree demon clan and the Heavenly Sword Immortal Sect have a long-standing feud!"
"To be honest, our Longevity Immortal Sect and the Heavenly Sword Immortal Sect have a long-standing feud!"
"If we can cooperate, that would be wonderful!"
Chen Xuan smiled and blew the wind through the pine tree.
Upon hearing this, Songmu's eyes lit up.
He was about to speak when he heard Tian Kumu, who was walking ahead, cough several times.
Upon seeing this, Songmu immediately looked embarrassed.
He quickly gave Chen Xuan an apologetic look.
Chen Xuan didn't care.
Follow the withered tree and the pine tree all the way.
After walking for two hours, they finally arrived at the settlement of the tree spirit clan.
Here, there is a beautiful little valley.
The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the flowers are in full bloom.
The tree spirits, having fully unleashed their true forms, roamed freely in this small valley.
Chen Xuan's gaze swept over these powerful members of the tree demon clan, and he was secretly surprised to see that the vast majority of them were at least at the Heavenly Immortal realm.
"Although the number of members of the tree spirit clan is small, their cultivation level is quite remarkable!"
"If they can really lend us a hand, it will be much easier for us to deal with those guys from the Heavenly Sword Immortal Sect!"
Chen Xuan smiled secretly.
Soon, he spotted seven or eight powerful members of the tree demon clan, looking exhausted, walking towards Tian Kumu and the others.
Before Chen Xuan could speak, Songmu's voice rang out.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, these clansmen were all injured in the battle with the Heavenly Sword Immortal Sect."
"Our tree spirit clan has absolutely no decent healing pills."
"If you are willing to lend them a hand, I can step in and persuade the First Elder and the Second Elder!"
Songmu looked on expectantly.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan laughed heartily.
"Fellow Daoist Songmu, you flatter me. Even if our cooperation fails, I can still help with the injuries of your clansmen!"
"Of course, if your tree spirit clan can cooperate with me, I can offer you some other benefits!"
After Chen Xuan finished speaking, he immediately flipped his hand and took out a bottle of healing pills, handing it to Songmu.
This bottle of healing pills, although it is only a high-grade Heaven-level pill.
However, these tree spirits are extremely precious to the powerful members of their clan.
When Songmu received the bottle of pills, his hands trembled with excitement.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Chen!"
Songmu thanked him and quickly distributed the pills in his hand.
The powerful members of the tree spirit clan quickly swallowed the healing pills and began refining them as soon as possible.
In just a short while, most of the damage in their bodies was healed.
Their mental state is noticeably better than before.
This scene was naturally witnessed by Tian Kumu.
He didn't say much.
He secretly gave Songmu a few instructions and then turned and left.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan did not say anything more.
After the injuries of the severely wounded tree spirits had completely healed, he finally looked at the pine tree.
“Fellow Daoist Songmu, if there are any other Daoists in your clan who are seriously injured, you might as well call them out.”
"I also have some healing pills here, I can share some with them!"
Upon hearing this, Songmu's expression became excited.
After nodding, it transformed into a blur and vanished from the spot in a flash.
