Chapter 188: Genocide
Fire Cloud Momentary Monk?
Shu Han was suspicious. This place was also considered the hinterland of the Nandou Forest. How could there be other Fire Cloud Momentary Monk here? Could it be that Wei Haolong or Song Changyi escaped and called for help? But that was too fast!
Shu Han thought that the situation was unclear now, so it was better to say less, ask less, and observe more.
Su Wan'er protected Shu Han. She was so close that Shu Han could smell her strong body fragrance, as if he was in a flower bush.
Putting aside the hair, the people of the Changlin tribe were all handsome men and beautiful women, and Su Wan'er, as a saint, was even more beautiful.
After appreciating the beauty for a moment, Shu Han looked into the distance with clear eyes and saw a team of five Fire Cloud Momentary Monks.
Two of them were in the late stage and three in the middle stage. They were all strangers. They went directly to the sacred tree emitting white light. It seemed that they were not the people called by Wei Haolong and Song Changyi.
The group of Fire Cloud Momentary monks came to the sacred tree, looked it up and down, and all showed joy on their faces.
Then, they attacked at the same time, releasing hot flames that turned into fire knives, and chopped at the bottom of the sacred tree.
The sacred tree flashed white light, and many flowers were shaken off, and soon it was shaky.
Seeing this scene, Su Wan'er's eyes were bloodshot, and she almost wanted to rush out.
However, she still suppressed this impulse. After a while, eight figures jumped onto the branches from behind and came behind Shu Han and Su Wan'er.
"Saint! We are late!"
Shu Han was shocked. It turned out that Su Wan'er had contacted helpers long ago.
Su Wan'er gritted her silver teeth and said, "Go! Turn these damn Fire Cloud Momentary monks into nutrients for the sacred tree!"
"Yes!"
Suddenly, eight figures jumped off the branches and sneaked away in the bushes below.
It turned out that they were fighting to the death with the Fire Cloud Momentary monks.
Shu Han couldn't help but ask: "Didn't our Changlin tribe sign an agreement with Huoyun Shana? Aren't you afraid of provoking a war with Huoyun Shana by taking direct action like this?"
Su Wan'er replied: "My lord, you may not know this because of your damaged memory. The war with Huoyun Shana has already started!"
"Two years ago, six priests of our tribe renewed the agreement with the high-level officials of Huoyun Shana at the border of Nandou Forest as agreed. Who would have thought that Huoyun Shana suddenly broke the agreement and ambushed a group of Jindan-stage cultivators to massacre our tribe. Only three of the six priests of our tribe survived, and all the other tribesmen present were killed."
"In the next two years, Huoyun Shana directly invaded the hinterland of our tribe, cut down our sacred trees, and arrested our tribesmen. Within two years, the population of our Changlin tribe dropped by 60%, thousands of sacred trees were cut down, and our Changlin tribe has been forced to the edge of the cliff!"
There is also this thing!
No wonder the Changlin tribe members killed each other when they met that day
Shu Han was surprised. It would be fine if he didn't know about the sect's big move, but why didn't Song Changyi and Wei Haolong know about it?
There is a problem!
In the distance, eight people from the Changlin clan and five people from Huoyun Shana were fighting.
The Changlin clan members were not as strong as them, but they all fought desperately, and the five people from Huoyun Shana were defeated.
Seeing this, Su Wan'er used her magic power to use her longbow and prepared to shoot a black arrow in secret.
However, suddenly, a pillar of fire fell from the sky, and the four Changlin clan members in front of the sacred tree were seriously injured on the spot.
Seeing this, Su Wan'er was so scared that she immediately took Shu Han to crawl on the branches, and warned with a pale face: "It's bad! The elder of Huoyun Shana is here! Sir, don't move rashly!"
Elder!
Shu Han looked up with clear eyes and saw that the old man in long clothes in the air was quite familiar.
Isn't this Zhong Erle!
Why did he run here?
Zhong Erle looked at the Changlin clan members who were about to escape below, snorted coldly, waved his sleeves, and the Earth Dragon Fire roared out, trapping each of them in the Earth Dragon Fire Prison.
"You disciples are really useless. You have the nerve to say that you are the capable disciples cultivated in secret, but you were beaten back by these weak Changlin clan members! Move quickly, seal these Changlin clan members away!"
"Yes!"
Those Changlin clan members were trapped in the Earth Dragon Fire Prison, and there was no way to break out of the prison. After all, they were in the Jindan stage, and the strength gap was too big.
Shu Han whispered: "Then what should they do?"
Su Wan'er had a look of resentment on her face, and whispered: "Jindan stage, there is no way. My lord, your safety is the most important thing now. You follow me quietly, and I will escort you out of here."
Shu Han calculated in his heart that Huoyun had the upper hand in the current situation. If he revealed his identity, Elder Zhong would definitely remember him. With the protection of the Jindan stage elder, he would be able to get rid of the pursuit of the Changlin clan.
However, Shu Han felt that this was not the best choice.
First, he had gained the trust of the Saint of the Changlin Clan. If he did not continue to use this identity, it would be difficult to find the thousand-year-old sacred tree in the future.
Second, Huoyun Shana was acting in secret this time, and even Song Changyi did not know about it. This was a deep secret. With his status and position, how would the sect deal with him?
Moreover, Huoyun Shana always gave him a weird feeling. Except for Song Changyi and Wei Haolong, he could not trust anyone else in the sect.
So, Shu Han still chose to act with Su Waner. He turned around quietly and prepared to leave here with Su Waner.
Suddenly, they heard a sonorous shout from behind.
"Eternal life! Changlin will not be destroyed! Huoyun Shana, don't think of enslaving our Changlin Clan!"
These words directly ignited the morale of the trapped Changlin people. The remaining seven people shouted in unison, shouting the same slogan.
Shu Han turned his head and saw that the eight Changlin tribesmen had all turned into torches, resolutely burning their life essences in exchange for tremendous power, and repeatedly attacking the Earth Fire Dragon Prison like moths to a flame.
However, the power of the Dan cannot be simply broken by burning the fire of life.
Shu Han stood there in a daze, feeling sorry for their fate. He murmured, "It's useless. Their cultivation is not high enough. The power they get from burning themselves is just a drop in the bucket."
"No!"
Su Wan'er's cheeks were covered with tears. She looked solemnly at the eight people who were burning into torches. Her tone was sad but proud: "This is my Changlin people. They will be defeated but will not surrender! They will live forever! Changlin will never be destroyed!"
But, the next moment, her eyes showed sadness: "It's just hateful that many Changlin people are willing to become Huoyun Shana's running dogs. They actually connected to the ancestral tree of our tribe to help Huoyun Shana locate the location of the sacred tree!"
Shu Han suddenly realized that the Changlin people wearing human robes just now had defected to Huoyun Shana. No wonder Su Wan'er killed him when they met.
From the perspective of the Changlin people, this person is indeed hateful and his death is not a pity.
After listening to Su Wan'er's words, Shu Han felt a little sympathy for the Changlin people.
They have lived in the Nandou Forest for generations, living in harmony with the world, but suddenly suffered a disaster.
According to this trend, in a few years, Huoyun will uproot the Changlin clan, not to mention Song Jinglun's breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage eleven years later.
Although he sympathized in his heart, the matter was a foregone conclusion. Unless a cultivator with more strength than Song Jinglun came forward to reverse the situation, the day of the extinction of the Changlin clan was not far away.
In the cultivation world, no one can rely on the desire to live in harmony with the world to stay out of trouble.
