Chapter 442: Tree Massacre & Alarm

The result was more than clear, a really high stake of that special wood into a corner of his Old Pouch, and a numerous howl of those herb roots.

At first, it had been a bit difficult for him too to 'face' the soul attack of those bigger and more powerful trees, but still, it wasn't that difficult for him considering that he was a Soul Master.

To Tianlong Yun now, that soul attack was nothing more than a slight headache, as he immediately would take care of it by killing that thing and storing it inside their special storage room inside the Old Pouch.

With all that was available outside, he felt that the storage was rather small in order to contain all of it, but there was still a lot of space inside the Old Pouch so he didn't really pay much attention to it.

He just continued cutting down as many of them as he could, without bothering in the least about the massacre he was causing and the attention he was getting in the dark.

Willingly or unwillingly, he had indirectly lowered the pressure and burden on his disciples by garnering himself the attention of the whole Nightmare Forests.

Compared to his disciples, he was like a chainsaw compared to some axe using woodcutter. With enough fuel, he would be able to cut down the whole forest.

Too bad that his fuel wasn't endless, and that the more he fought the more it expired, making it more and more difficult to continue fighting like he was at the beginning.

If one compared his performance in the first half an hour, with that of one hour late, they would be able to immediately notice that the intervals he used to fight each tree had elongated quite a bit.

For example, now he would need at least 2-3 minutes to take down a small tree, and more than 10 if a bigger one appeared.

Furthermore, he could feel that the air was getting heavier and heavier with each passing moment, as his instincts started acting again.

This was a clear sign that something was coming in his direction, or that something was bound to happen, and considering the situation, the damages would clearly surpass the gains.

He didn't doubt his safety as he had the Old Pouch and he could disappear inside at a moment's notice, but his disciples couldn't.

They would be stuck on the outside, and would most certainly perish in this place as their reserves were already low.

With these thoughts on his mind, he stopped the massacre he had started on the Nightmare Forests and started avoiding all the incoming attacks as he made his way towards his clan's disciples' locations.

It certainly wasn't easy to do it, as he was attacked almost on all sides, but still, he was able to go through them like an eel. Nothing could hold him back.

During the time he had been hunting he had made sure to keep a connection to the bubbles of light that his disciples had created in there, otherwise he would have lost them a long time ago.

With quick steps, he finally managed to return to the lines of sight, as the disciples were also kind of gathering towards each other, in order to better help and protect each other.

They were most probably on really tight ropes as well, even though they could alternate between each other, it was still something really taxing to them.

Right now, they were showing really strong signs of mental tiredness, as their Soul Power levels were almost depleted.

Without losing much time he covered them in his spirit sense and quickly sent them towards the Old Pouch that was hanged to his waist.

As soon as he was done with them, he also entered the Old Pouch immediately as his instincts were ringing on him like an alarm clock in the morning.

As they entered the Old Pouch, all the trees that were crashing against the formation barriers either hit on each other or were totally out of tune.

Who could blame those, in almost just an instant they had gone from fighting against a cockroach-like resistance and defense, to have nothing at all in front of them.

It was like a drunk man hitting a wall when suddenly the wall disappears from his way. He would then get up, curse at the thing in his own language, and then continue walking his previous path.

As this happened the whole space seemed to freeze, and the earth was shaking, it was a truly weird paradox.

All the small trees and even those big ones entered a frenzy, it was like soldiers and small team captains were meeting some high-ranked officer, as they all went into some kind of formation.

The small trees at the back, while the bigger ones at the front. The noisy and chaotic situation of a moment ago had turned into dead silence.

The trees seemed to have frozen, as they all had turned into one direction, creating some wave-like pattern.

The darkness still ruled the place in its entirety, but its pitch-black color was getting even darker if that was even possible.

The pressure in the area had increased considerably, and it was slow even becoming something tangible.

Suddenly the earth stopped shaking, but the space was still stagnant and frozen. There was no noise, or sound one could hear anymore, just silence.

Complete silence that would make any person think he was deaf, there was no wind, no noise, no nothing, this whole place seemed to have stopped completely for a few moments.

Not long after, the ground started shaking once more, as the pressure was still high but certainly lower than earlier.

The ground-shaking didn't continue for long though, as everything then returned to the usual calmness and naturality.

Inside the Old Pouch Tianlong Yun wasn't in a happy mood. Not because of what happened outside, but because he couldn't spread his senses out of the Old Pouch and look at what was going on.

When he entered the Old Pouch, he had immediately spread his senses outside in order to try and spy on what was going on outside, but his spirit sense was blocked.

He felt like any path out of the Old Pouch was blocked, but that wasn't all there was to it, as he felt like the space itself was blocked.

Just what the hell was going on outside of the Old Pouch? It wasn't like he thought this thing was impossible, but the power and energy needed to make such a thing possible should be extremely large.

He knew that he was under no circumstance able to do something like this! Only that freak thing under him was able to do it, but the level that thing had achieved was something that he couldn't really measure.

He still thought it was a miracle he had been able to place that thing under his will, and he was still a bit wary towards it.

But that wasn't important right now, what mattered was that there was something that could seal out space outside the Old Pouch.

And that most probably the next time they headed out outside, they would have to face that thing without the possibility of heading back into the Old Pouch.

He didn't know what to make out of this, as most probably it was going to be some truly life-threatening situation for him and his own clan disciples.

If he used all the strength available to him at the moment perhaps he could crush easily the new enemy that appeared, but that way he would just waste this opportunity.

All this time he had been looking for an opportunity to better train his disciples, and their abilities, and skill, so when such an opportunity was in front of him, how could he crush it like that?

Wouldn't be just too wasteful to kill a dog with the strength of a human, when that dog could be used to train all the cubs he had around him.

At the moment, the dog was truly much stronger than the cubs, but that was only due to their lack of time, and experience.

If they were in the same shoes then there was no way that his cubs would lose against a scary-looking dog, but they weren't, so they had to be better and faster.

If they didn't want to die soon that is!

Tianlong Yun had always thought that necessity was one of the key factors to raise an expert, as only when they had to, every being would bring out their true potential.

And this was the perfect chance that he had been waiting for slowly help these guys transform from an ugly worm to a beautiful butterfly.

With these thoughts in mind, those dark clouds in his mind started to slowly fade away, as he left the disciples in the hands of Tianlong Hu Die and her staff to present their gains and their reports.

In the meantime, Tianlong Yun appeared inside of something that looked like a big room, with a big bed inside at a corner, and a small round mattress in the middle of the room.

The mattress was around 2 meters in radius and made of a really smooth, and relaxing material. More than to walk upon, this mattress was made to sit upon.

Tianlong Yun didn't seem to pay much attention to the simplicity and the beauty of this room, as he simply sat down upon that mattress, and immediately sat down in a lotus position.

While he didn't show it, he had also been really tired, and his Soul Power had almost totally expired, so he needed to meditate, and cultivate in order to return back in top form.

Furthermore, it was time for him to try those 'herb roots' himself!
