Chapter 661: Going Back on One's Word

After Wu Fan put away the branches, he felt at ease, but the smile on his face never faded.

After thinking about it, Wu Fan did not return to the ground immediately, but continued to look around to see if he could still find a living branch.

Just like that, I saw him shuttle through the canopy, walking and stopping. After half a cup of tea, he returned to the ground with a sigh, and at the same time, the smile on his face had disappeared.

Of course, he did this deliberately to show Dong Zhuojun. Although he failed to find another living branch, he was not disappointed. Now that he had found one, this was actually enough.

"Brother Wu, have you discovered anything?"

Seeing that Wu Fan had turned back, Dong Zhuojun hurriedly took a few steps forward to greet him and asked.

"Alas! No, this Tiangang sacred tree is indeed lifeless. Let's take this tree and leave."

Wu Fan looked at the other person, then shook his head and sighed.

"Well, there are no other items here, so there is no need to stay for a long time. But brother Wu, you don't have to be depressed. Although this sacred tree is dead, the entire tree is also a very precious material."

"If you use it to refine some secret treasures, it is actually a good choice. Even if you put it up for auction, it will sell for a sky-high price, so it is not in vain for us."

Dong Zhuojun nodded when he heard this, then patted Wu Fan on the shoulder and said comfortingly.

"Well, Brother Dong is right. If this Tiangang sacred tree is put up for auction, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect will buy it at all costs, not to mention other sects."

Wu Fan also had a smile on his face at this time, and then nodded and chuckled.

"Haha, that's for sure. We heard clearly before that old man Xiahou said that their sect can use this dead tree to refine several treasures, and these treasures can restrain demons and ghost cultivators. As a result, if we put this tree up for auction, given Wanjian Sect’s current predicament, we will definitely pay a high price for it.”

Dong Zhuojun suddenly laughed when he heard this. It could be seen that he was indeed very happy at the moment. He was completely free of the depression just now. He must have looked away.

"Well, in that case, let's divide the tree equally here. There's no rush at this moment anyway. As for whether we want to put it up for auction in the future, let's wait until later."

After Wu Fan heard this, he smiled and nodded, and then made some suggestions.

"Okay, then just follow Brother Wu's advice."

Dong Zhuojun had no objections, so he nodded and agreed.

As a result, the two of them began to get busy. They took out their flying swords and began to attack the sacred tree of Tiangang. The places they cut were all areas without thunder and lightning.

But after a while, they discovered that the tree was extremely hard. Some of the slightly thicker branches actually needed to be cut dozens of times. You must know that this Tiangang sacred tree is dead. It can be seen that if this tree is still alive, then they I'm afraid there's no way I can cut it off.

Wu Fan even guessed that if this tree was still alive, even if it was not refined into a magic weapon, its hardness would be far greater than the natural magic weapon of a monk in the Nascent Soul stage, and would even be stronger, because he had never seen a living one. Tiangang sacred tree.

In this way, with the unremitting efforts of the two, it took three days to finally break the tree apart. It is worth mentioning that they only cut the upper branches. As for the main trunk, they I just tried cutting it a few times and then gave up because it just couldn't be cut.

After some discussion between the two, they finally decided that all the branches would belong to Dong Zhuojun, and the trunk would be dug out and given to Wu Fan.

Both of them were quite satisfied with this distribution. Although Wu Fan got the main trunk, in terms of quantity and weight, the branches were still more numerous, so Dong Zhuojun didn't lose anything. He was planning to sell it anyway.

After finishing their business here, the two left this place and ran straight down the mountain.

……………………

...Five days later!

Outside the killing array, Wu Fan, who was running down, stopped, then turned his head and looked back.

I saw that within the killing array, a layer of transparent light was being attacked by lightning from above, and it looked like it was about to be broken.

And below the killing formation, Dong Zhuojun, Qin, and Li were flying towards Wu Fan, with eager looks on their faces, and they looked up from time to time.

But fortunately, they were all Golden Core Stage cultivators, and their running speeds were extremely fast. It only took them twenty breaths of effort to run out, and the light shield had not been shattered yet.

After Wu Fan saw this, he stretched out his right hand and waved the array disk in his hand. At the same time, the light mask in the killing array instantly dissipated, and at the same time, thirty-six array flags flew out from inside, and several After taking a breath, he came to Wu Fan and put it into his storage bag.

At this time, Dong Zhuojun and others had also run to Wu Fan's side.

"Fellow Taoist, according to our previous agreement, as long as my junior brother and I help you break through the mountain-protecting formation and help you escape from the killing formation, then you will let us go. Now we have fulfilled our promise, that is Can’t we leave now?”

When the old man surnamed Li came to Wu Fan, he immediately bowed and clasped his fists with a smile on his face and said.

"Well, since I promised you before, I won't go back on my word, so you can go."

Wu Fan turned to look at the old man surnamed Li, his eyes flickered and he chuckled, then waved his arm and said.

"Daoyou is truly a role model among cultivators of our generation. In that case, I would like to thank you here. But don't worry, we will not betray you after we return."

When the old man surnamed Li heard this, he was instantly overjoyed, so he bowed and complimented him, and made a promise.

At this time, the man surnamed Qin also showed excitement on his face, and then bowed and saluted.

"Haha, with Daoyou Li's promise, I feel relieved. Okay, there is no banquet that will not end in the world, you can go."

Wu Fan chuckled again, nodded, and turned to walk away without looking at the two.

"Junior brother, let's go!"

Seeing this, the old man surnamed Li did not hesitate. After a vigilant look at Wu Fan's back, he immediately raised his legs and walked in another direction, while urging the man surnamed Qin beside him.

"Okay!"

The man surnamed Qin did not dare to delay, and hurriedly followed after hearing the words.

But at this moment, a light blue flying sword suddenly appeared in the sky, and after a flash, it pierced the head of the man surnamed Qin. Red and white objects immediately splattered everywhere, and at the same time, the man fell to the ground, deader than dead.

"Ah...! Damn, Fellow Daoist Dong, what do you mean? Fellow Daoist Wu has already promised to let us go, why did you still take action?"

When the old man surnamed Li saw this scene, fear immediately appeared in his eyes, and he retreated to the back without thinking, and suddenly shouted.

"Hehe, my brother Wu did promise you, but I didn't say I would let you go, so brother Wu didn't lie."

Dong Zhuojun chuckled when he heard this, and as soon as he finished speaking, he saw him pinch his fingers with one hand, and the flying sword above instantly turned into a stream of light and flew towards the old man surnamed Li.

At the same time, Wu Fan, who was walking in the distance, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and didn't even turn his head back!
