Chapter 357: Foul Demon

“Jingnan? Why are you here?”

The young girl, Mu Jingnan, was carrying a white cat and running along the peach forest path towards the Mu family’s core forbidden area.

“Sixth Brother? Weren’t you paying your respects to the patriarch? Why did you come out so quickly?”

Mu Jingnan had secretly entered the forbidden area and was already very nervous.

She was even more shocked when she was suddenly found.

Fortunately, the person opposite was Mu Chunyang, causing her to feel slightly relieved.

However, his next words shocked her greatly.

“Jingnan! There’s something wrong with the Demon Wood Tree Heart that those people gave us. We were tricked!”

“Now that the patriarch is in trouble and the family has been attacked, let’s leave quickly and leave this place!”

Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, it was impossible to be spared after causing such a huge loss to the family.

They could only leave the Mu family as soon as possible and lie low.

“How is this possible... how is this possible?”

Mu Jingnan’s eyes flickered with fear. She seemed to have known something in advance.

She did not look shocked, but rather unwilling to accept the truth.

“You lied to me. Why did you lie to me?!”

The girl, Mu Jingnan, actually threw away the white cat in her arms.

Then, she questioned her favorite pet loudly.

The white cat flipped in the air and landed lightly on the ground.

Then, it stood up like a human and looked at the pair of “stupid” siblings with its beast eyes.

“What? Don’t you want your brother to become the family head? I’ve been helping you all this time.”

This cat was only a spiritual beast with a trace of the White Tiger bloodline. It was not an ordinary demon. Logically speaking, it should not know how to speak.

However, at this moment, its expression was as lively as a human.

In that short body, there was also a strong pressure.

“No, you’re lying to me!”

“As long as he has the Tree Heart, my brother can become the family head!”

“You never said that you would harm the patriarch or our family!”

Swoosh!

As Mu Jingnan was hysterical, a peachwood sword flew over from the side and stabbed at the white cat’s head.

It was the fifth clone who wanted to strike while he was unprepared.

However, the white cat only raised its claws and casually waved them. As if it was pushing aside a toy, it sent the peachwood sword flying.

Clearly, this seemingly harmless cat was far stronger than a Golden Core cultivator like him.

This strike did not have any effect. Instead, it attracted this person’s gaze.

That cold gaze made the clone shiver. He could not help but gulp.

“Brother Chunyang, leave quickly!”

Mu Jingnan cried out in surprise when she saw this, but the white cat was faster.

A white light flashed in front of them. They did not see any movements of the white cat.

A huge hole appeared in the chest of the fifth clone, Mu Chunyang.

The heart that should have been inside was now empty.

A large amount of blood flowed out from inside. The fifth clone lay down stiffly.

“No! Sixth Brother!”

Mu Jingnan was so angry that she wanted to take revenge for her brother, but her cultivation level was even lower.

The white cat spat out a familiar Nine Nether Yin wind that blew Mu Jingnan away. She hung on the tree, her face pale and her body stiff.

“On the account that you brought me into the forbidden area, I won’t kill you this time.”

“Going in from here is where the demon wood took root, right? Old fellow, you’ve occupied such a good position for 8,000 years. I want to see how much wealth you’ve saved up!”

With that, the white cat ignored the two of them and rushed towards the core.

Mu Jingnan, who was hanging on the tree branch, also cultivated the Mu family’s cultivation method. She was naturally not parasitized and was only tricked.

In fact, even the Nine Nether Wood in the graveyard did not expect that the children of the two Mu family heads would be so gullible.

As long as they were in front of the Nine Nether Tree Heart, the intelligence of most of the Mu family disciples would basically fall to zero.

Then, they were willing to believe anything just by casually promising the huge allure of becoming the successor of the family head.

This was especially true for Mu Jingnan. She even took the initiative to let him possess her favorite white cat and bring the main body into the Mu family’s peach forest.

She fed it day and night with her own blood, using the blood of the Mu family to conceal its aura.

Otherwise, the Nine Nether Wood in the graveyard did not have the power of chaos and spiritual qi mixed together.

He did not have the ability to rely on himself to enter the Mu Clan like Jiang Li and not be noticed.

This move even deceived Jiang Li.

He quickly locked onto the Mu family disciple whose heart he had taken out.

Only he had this possibility and opportunity.

He was now extremely regretful that he had not conveniently taken Mu Chunyang’s storage bag.

However, the problem was that he had never imagined that a disciple of the Mu family would actually dare to attack the divinely respected Immortal Peach Tree.

This old demon Immortal Peach had lived for thousands of years. He could not even control a junior.

“How dare you, foul demon! You actually dare to attack our Mu family’s forbidden area!”

“How can that be! What did you do to my Mu family’s sacred tree!”

“Ancestor! Ancestor! Are you alright?”

“My Mu family’s Immortal Peach Tree! Demon! My Mu family will definitely crush you to ashes.”

The higher-ups of the Mu family, who had rushed to the core of the Holy Land, felt as if their hearts were bleeding when they saw the ruined Immortal Peach Tree.

All of them looked furious. The Nine Nether Wood hiding in the black cat’s body felt a chill in its heart.

After all, it was the Mu family’s headquarters. At this moment, there were many experts. As long as there was a mistake in the plan, it was very easy to be surrounded by such experts.

He happened to choose a partner that he should not have chosen the most. Not only did a problem appear, it was also very large.

There were at least fifteen Soul Formation cultivators outside surrounding him. The stronger Mu family’s master, Mu Zeshu, could rush back at any time.

The Mu family’s Peach Forest Array had already been completely activated.

This time, there was really no way out!

...

When he returned to Jiang Li’s side, the situation had already changed again.

Due to the vines and grass ropes in their mouths, they were unable to directly kill these demonic cultivators.

However, there were many methods in the cultivation world, and they were not simple methods like attack and defense.

In next to no time, Jiang Li noticed that the peach blossom fragrance that suffused the surrounding air had become even denser than before.

The peach trees around them actually had quite a few peach blossoms blooming, but now that they looked carefully, the petals had already turned terrifyingly red.

Then, beside them, a rogue cultivator with a low cultivation suddenly fell to the ground.

Then, as if there was a chain reaction, cultivators continuously collapsed without any warning.

It was the same for the hostages tied to vines and grass.

The people who lay down were not dead. Instead, they were sleeping soundly. For a time, there were snores everywhere.

As such, how could the remaining demonic cultivators not notice anything amiss?

They shouted loudly to stop the Mu family from doing this, or they would start killing the hostages.

However, with the hostage in hand, they still had a chance of survival. Killing the hostage would only make them die faster.

They threatened to kill a few, but most of their spell techniques were blocked halfway.

With only a few disciples of the Mu family dead, most of the demonic cultivators could not hold on anymore and collapsed.

Since they could not be killed, it was fine to faint.

The methods they executed this time were impossible to guard against. Even Jiang Li noticed that he was slightly dizzy.

First of all, this fragrance was not poisonous.

Therefore, the resistance effect in his body was not effective.

However, the change did happen after the fragrance was absorbed into his body.

At this moment, Jiang Li noticed that Mu Yulan was already unable to persist by his side, but the sword cultivator clone not far away was still able to barely support himself with his sword.

The sword cultivator clone was stronger than cultivators of the same level. 80% of it was due to the high-intensity spiritual qi that Jiang Li had given him.

His Golden Core had been refined twice, so its potential and power had been greatly reduced.

In essence, the resistance of the sword cultivator clone should be much weaker than Mu Yulan.

What was the difference between them?

Soon, without Jiang Li needing to think, the negative status that popped up told him the answer.

The difference between them was in their alcohol tolerance.

[Peach Blossom Immortal Drunken Wine]

This status appeared on Jiang Li’s interface.

It was the special spiritual wine and peach blossom brew they had drunk these few days.

After combining the current peach blossom fragrance, the power of the spiritual wine increased exponentially. Even cultivators who had cultivated the Liquor Fire Sword Song could not completely endure it.

Under normal circumstances, it would not be considered negative.

Some top-notch cultivators could not easily get drunk. Using this method to make themselves drunk was not a bad choice.

However, at this time, using this method to defeat the foreign enemies and not injure their own people was indeed the best method.

The Mu family of the Peach Forest was indeed a medium-sized Divine Judgment faction. As long as they reacted, they had ways to solve the problem.

However, Jiang Li, who was lying on the ground pretending to sleep with everyone, was not in a very good mood.

They had resolved the matter so quickly, but how could he escape safely?

It was indeed a little difficult to escape with the Immortal Peaches on him..
