The group's favorite master, the story of a cute baby who travels through the book and defies t

Since there is an altar, there must be corresponding sacrifices.

Qi Gui actually had some suspicions a long time ago, and after Zhu Fangcheng's reminder, he confirmed his guess.

"In fact, the sacrifice has always been Gongsun Qiuwei, but this time the Dragon Heart Tree needs more power during its maturity, so all of us cultivators who came to his door have become sacrifices for his breakthrough and maturity."

Xia Zixuan said angrily: "These are hundreds of lives! Is the Gongsun family really so sinister? I'm afraid they are even worse than the demons who take human lives lightly!"

Everyone was filled with indignation and the atmosphere was tense and serious.

But at this moment, Luo Yiyi said to Xia Zixuan righteously: "Xia Xia, this is wrong. Why do you want to drag the demons into this?"

Xia Zixuan was puzzled: "The demons have always acted erratically and treated human lives like ants. What's wrong with that?"

Luo Yiyi retorted: "There are still people among the monks who take human lives lightly. How can you put all the blame on the demons? There are also good demons among the demons I know. We can't generalize!"

The ancestral precept of Taiyi Sect has always been to eliminate the devil when encountered, so Xia Zixuan strongly disagrees with Luo Yiyi's point of view.

"Your so-called good demons may just be fooling you because you are young. You must not be deceived by their disguised appearance and end up being harmed without knowing it."

"You can't tell right from wrong! Why can't a demon who has never harmed anyone be a good demon? And people like Gongsun Hu and Gongsun Qiuwei who cultivate demon plants, if you hadn't discovered it this time, would they still be considered good people by you?"

Xia Zixuan was stunned by the example she gave for a moment. He wanted to refute but didn't know where to start, so he frowned.

"How can you confuse the two? It's ridiculous!"

Seeing that he was at a loss for words, Luo Yiyi put her hands on her hips like a winner.

"You are the one making trouble. All of you in Taiyi Sect are making trouble! You stick to the rules, follow the old ways, and don't know how to adapt. You wield your swords for yourselves, not for the world. That's why you can never beat us in Tianyan Sect!"

"Who can beat whom?"

"Of course the Taiyi Clan can't compare... mmmmmm!"

Seeing that the usually steady Xia Zixuan was really angry, Ding Yurou broke out in a cold sweat. She hurried over and covered Luo Yiyi's mouth, fearing that if she continued talking, she would really force the other party to draw her sword.

After all, if it really concerns the reputation of one's own sect, no matter who the other party is, one must stand up to protect it. This is the same everywhere.

Who knew that there was someone behind the scenes who was just watching the fun and fanning the flames.

Zhu Fangcheng whispered, "It's rare that an 8-year-old child can understand this truth, but the proud son of Taiyi Sect doesn't understand it. I think the gap between the two sects is nothing more than this. Taiyi Sect is indeed not as good as Tianyan Sect."

Xia Zixuan slowly looked at him, his eyes darkening: "So, you also support the demons?"

Zhu Fangcheng was surprised. If his anger towards Luo Yiyi just now was only superficial, then Xia Zixuan was really angry with him at this moment.

A man of insight is a hero. He quickly raised his hands to show that he just said it unintentionally. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief when Xia Zixuan looked away.

It seems that the rumored gentle and refined rising star of Taiyi Sect is definitely not a good-tempered old man. On the contrary, he has the consciousness and pride of being a favored child of heaven.

His usual kindness is just a means of communication with external parties, but he has extremely strong principles and bottom lines in his heart. Once someone touches them, his true colors will be revealed.

When he thought of this, he turned his eyes to Luo Yiyi who was being gently persuaded by Ding Yurou. Despite Xia Zixuan's unfriendly look, she still looked unconvinced, as if she was fearless just because of her status.

But Zhu Fangcheng knew clearly in his heart that after spending some time with Luo Yiyi, he realized that this child was smarter than he could imagine.

This is not to say that she is extremely intelligent, but that she is very good at judging people and knows where everyone's bottom line is, so she can repeatedly jump around the bottom line and always be safe.

It can be said that Luo Yiyi has a heart that can see through people, even though she is only eight years old.

Ding Yurou persuaded her gently for a long time before Luo Yiyi generously expressed that she would not bother with the younger generation. After hearing this, Xia Zixuan was too lazy to even get angry.

He secretly reflected on why he was increasingly being led astray by Luo Yiyi, and tried hard to get the topic back on track.

"The most urgent task now is to find a way to destroy the Dragon Heart Tree. We must not let it have a chance to mature. Otherwise, if the demon dragon really comes out, even if Master and the others come, it will cause great suffering to all living beings within a thousand miles."

"No way!"

Luo Yiyi's words of sabotage again made Xia Zixuan's anger flare up halfway and then fade away. He could only sigh deeply.

"Why not?"

This time it wasn't that Luo Yiyi was intentionally making trouble, she told him sincerely.

"I have a formation that Huihui and the others have set up on my body. Whenever my life is threatened, Zhanzhan and the others will be summoned over. So when I die, when Zhanzhan arrives, all the creatures within a thousand miles will be safe!"

Xia Zixuan was stunned. He didn't expect Luo Yiyi to say that. He didn't know if it was because the sect protected her too well that she didn't understand the meaning of death, or if she could sacrifice herself for the safety of the world?

In fact, he is more inclined to the former possibility.

As he thought about it, he couldn't help but look at Qi Gui, who had been silent the whole time, and saw that he looked calm, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong with what Luo Yiyi said. This surprised him, because he thought he would still express his determination of "I will never let my master die".

Seeing that they had strayed from the topic again, Zhu Fangcheng could only help to bring it back.

"Do you know how to destroy the Dragon Heart Tree?"

Xia Zixuan was surprised: "Can't we just set it on fire?"

Ding Yurou shook her head: "The trunk of the Dragon Heart Tree can resist any magical attack."

Zhu Fangcheng added: "That's right. When I sneaked in before, I also tried to use fire attacks, but they were all absorbed by it. If I use a sword, I have to defend against its counterattack."

Qi Gui then asked: "What are the attack methods of the Dragon Heart Tree?"

Zhu Fangcheng recalled: "The vines are everywhere, all with barbs. If you get caught on them, you'll lose a piece of flesh and blood. In addition, there are the living dead guards. They are all strong and resistant to magical attacks, but they are all agile and carry poison."

Ding Yurou asked: "What kind of poison is it? Have you been infected? I want to take some to see if I can make an antidote."

Zhu Fangcheng said regretfully: "The poison is very strong. Once poisoned, it will spread very quickly, and the flesh and skin that are infected will rot. In order to prevent the whole body from rotting and dying, I can only cut off the piece of flesh at the moment of poisoning."

Ding Yurou was surprised: "What kind of poison is so overbearing?"

Qi Gui thought thoughtfully: "It seems that although those living dead deserved their punishment, the Fairy Island also used them for experiments. I guess their bodies are often soaked in different elixirs and poisons, and they have been poisoned for a long time. Maybe even Gongsun Hu can't do anything about these poisons."

Xia Zixuan felt a headache when he thought of those two rows of zombies.

"It's hard enough to deal with these zombies alone, and we also have to be wary of the thorny vines that may pop up from all directions at any time. No wonder Fellow Daoist Zhu was injured so badly. If we don't find a way to crack it, we probably won't be able to get past the zombies."

Luo Yiyi raised her hand high at this time to attract everyone's attention.

"I have a solution!"
