Chapter 956

Ju Mang’s Past

Mu Yu, sitting on the branch of the linden tree’s neighbour, fixed his eyes on the linden tree, but his mind was elsewhere. Ten days ago, he barged into the water demons’ territory at Moyun Mountains and almost got into an altercation had Tree Elder not made it there in time.

Tree Elder did not want to let Tian Ran into their race’s sacred tree until Ju Mang personally demanded Tree Elder let her in. When she would wake up, though, was anyone’s guess. The only good news was that her body and soul did not sustain any damage.

“Don’t worry. I can sense the tree gradually restoring Sister Tian Ran’s vitality.”

“Mm.”

Ju Mang was the rather taciturn character since his emergence for he needed time to recuperate after breaking free of the seal. For the meantime, he and Mu Yu were two separate consciousness, though they were capable of merging their minds if Mu Yu desired so.

“Do you know why I chose to help you?” Ju Mang asked.

“... No. Either way, thank you.”

“I’m merely repaying Ku Mu for saving me from the death qi using Ultimate Concealment Bloody Guardian.”

“I apologise for wrongly assuming you’re a nefarious elemental demon.”

“Well, I didn’t want to be resigned to a kid’s body at first. I’ve changed my mind, nevertheless, for a part of you is as admirable as your shifu... Do you know what the significance of this tree is?”

“No.”

“We refer to the divine tree that’s existed from aeons ago as Vitality Tree for it possesses immeasurable vitality. Wood demons surviving up to this point in time should be attributed to its existence. Each wood spirit lord is a child of the tree.”

“I thought you’re the only wood spirit lord.”

“No. We may be immortal, but we can be killed. If you kill a Vitality Tree, another one will sprout. Did you think Sword Shadow Dust Gale confined us to Moyun Mountains to protect humans?”

“I didn’t and won’t.”

As he lied back and set his sights on the sky, Mu Yu recalled he teleported Chen Xi’s family out of Pure Peace City without thinking about how they would get by after. All he could do at this point was pray for them.

Enjoying a banana, Xiaoshuai inquired, “Mu Yu, we going to pay the old con artist a visit?”

Mu Yu looked to the linden tree. “Yeah. We don’t know when Tian Ran will come back, anyway.”

Tree elder meandered over to the tree Mu Yu was on and smiled, assuaging, “Do what you have to. She will be fine.”

Mu Yu jumped off the tree. “Thank you, Tree Elder.”

“Don’t worry about it. I have to help you when Lord Ju Mang has spoken up. Like him, I trust you. By the way, Water Reverend informed me that some water demons have offered their services to Third Heaven Palace, so be careful out there.”

“Understood. I will be back soon.” Mu Yu turned to the linden tree, promising, “Wait for me here. I’ll be back.”

Xiaoshuai jumped down onto Mu Yu’s shoulder, and the two headed to Waterstream Village, unaware a group was closing in on Moyun Mountains.
