Reborn as a tree, the peerless god is obsessed

That day, the sky was clear and the air was fresh, so Xueying went out early in the morning.

Xue Yao arranged eight people to secretly explore in eight directions from the center of the heaven to see what force Luo Yuheng planned to target and what they were up to.

Snow Eagle is in charge of the West.

After a thorough search, going out of the west of the city and across the jurisdictional boundary of the center of the heavens, they still found nothing.

She continued westward, and after about three hundred miles, she reached a mountain range and landed on a hilltop. She entered the Secret Garden, drank some spiritual spring water, ate some cakes and fruit, and after a cup of tea to regulate her breathing, she left the Secret Garden.

Standing on the top of the mountain, she did not leave immediately, but closed her eyes, released her spiritual sense, and explored around.

Ever since she followed Xue Yao, she has had such a good place as the Secret Garden to practice, and the food she eats every day is full of spiritual energy, which is very helpful for her practice. With Xue Yao's occasional guidance, her practice has improved a lot.

If her spiritual sense could only detect within a hundred miles of the snow-capped mountains when she was in the Starry Secret Realm, then her spiritual sense has not only doubled and tripled, but can now easily detect within a range of eight hundred miles.

She can clearly see people’s faces and expressions within a radius of 800 miles.

Snow Eagle's spiritual sense extended in all directions like invisible tentacles, trying to capture any abnormal fluctuations or auras.

Suddenly, she frowned and felt an unusual fluctuation.

Although the fluctuation was weak, it carried an unsettling chill, unlike any aura she had ever sensed.

She quickly opened her eyes, her gaze as sharp as lightning, fixed on a dense forest in the northwest.

The Snow Eagle did not hesitate. While restraining his breath, he immediately transformed into his original form, spread his wings, and flew high into the dense forest.

As the distance closed, the aura became clearer and stronger. It was a faint black aura, and her heart trembled. "Could this be the legendary demonic energy?"

She landed at the edge of the dense forest and carefully sneaked towards the source of the black gas.

After passing through dense woods, she finally saw a hidden cave.

The entrance to the cave was covered by vines and weeds. If it weren't for her sharp sense, it would have been difficult to find.

Snow Eagle held his breath and approached quietly, trying to find out the situation inside the cave.

Just as she was about to step into the cave, a powerful force suddenly erupted from the cave, knocking her back several steps.

She steadied herself and looked carefully, only to see a man in black robe walking out of the cave.

The man was shrouded in black mist and his face could not be seen clearly, but Xue Ying could feel the strong black energy emanating from him, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

Who is he? Why is he here? Xue pondered in her heart, while secretly preparing for a possible battle.

The black-robed man looked around, and when his gaze swept over Snow Eagle's position, Snow Eagle was genuinely startled. "Could it be that he can see me?"

However, she still held back and did not do anything to cause any fluctuations in her aura.

The black-robed man withdrew his gaze and muttered to himself after a moment of silence, "Strange, I clearly felt some movement just now."

Then, he uttered a low, cold laugh, and immediately raised his hand and waved it, and a stream of black demonic energy rushed straight towards Snow Eagle's location.

The Snow Eagle quickly flashed into the secret garden without causing any air currents.

She was in the secret garden, and when she looked outside, she saw the man in black robe attacking in several other directions. Then she realized that he had not seen her and was just attacking randomly.

Her judgment was correct. The man in black robe had sensed a slight fluctuation in the air flow before, but when he came out he couldn't see anything, so he was worried and took action to test it.

When he made this move, streams of black energy shot out like swords. Wherever they went, trees were uprooted, rocks were broken into pieces, and even the earth shook.

Witnessing all this in the secret garden, Xue Ying's heart tightened, his hands clenched into fists, and he was filled with anger.

Even though she knew this power was far beyond her ability to resist, she still wanted to rush out and kill him.

But she changed her mind and forced herself to endure it.

Xue Yao had emphasized that she must not alert the enemy and that she must not act bravely and ruin the situation.

The man in black robe seemed unaware of Snow Eagle's hiding place, and his attention quickly shifted elsewhere.

Xue Ying didn't dare to act rashly. She was afraid that if she went out again at this time, once he discovered her, the consequences would be disastrous.

Crucially, she had no idea how many other people were inside the cave. She also had no idea how many experts were among them, whether they were all as powerful as the man in black robes, or even more powerful than him.

Furthermore, whether the black energy was demonic energy or not, and if so, what harm would it do to humans? All of this needed further investigation.

In fact, she forgot in her haste that even if she left the secret garden at this time, she would not appear outside the cave.

The owner of the Yaolin Secret Garden is Xueyao. Wherever Xueyao goes, the secret garden is there.

Xue Yao granted them the right to enter and exit freely. They can enter from the outside at any time and anywhere, which helps them avoid danger at critical moments.

However, if they leave the secret garden, they will appear wherever Xueyao is.

The matter was of great importance. Xue Ying took a deep breath and immediately sent a message to Xue Yao.

Xue Yao received the message and immediately rushed into the secret garden.

Seeing Xueyao, Xueying's heart was at peace. But she was still furious. If that black energy was really demonic energy...

She didn't dare to think too much and quickly told Xueyao in detail what she saw and felt.

After listening to this, Xue Yao frowned. Her intuition told her that the black energy was most likely demonic energy, and this might be the action of a certain force mentioned in Luo Yuheng's plan.

After giving Xueying a reassuring smile, she continued, "Xueying, you did well. Otherwise, if you had confronted him directly, the consequences would have been disastrous. Remember, no matter what mission you are carrying out, safety is paramount. Saving your life comes first."

Xue Yao had said these words countless times, and Xue Ying had heard them countless times, but they still moved him at this moment.

She felt extremely lucky to have met such a master who valued her and her companions so much that they were willing to risk their lives for them.

However, when she and her companions discussed this privately, they all prioritized saving their own lives. Their lives were precious to their masters. If anything happened to them, their masters would be deeply saddened.

You can tell from the fact that Xueyao would feel heartbroken whenever any of them got hurt.

Not only that, Xueyao is also very protective of her children.

If her companions were offended by someone outside, she would definitely go to the other party to seek an explanation, even if it meant going to their door.

This is known not only to those within their ranks but also to those outside, as long as they have had some dealings with them and are slightly familiar with them.

"Okay." Xueying felt warm in his heart.

"I understand about this. You go and rest for a while. When you get up, we'll discuss our next steps." Xue patted the back of her hand gently.

Xueying nodded and turned to leave.

After Xue Ying left, Xue Yao returned to her own yard, released her spiritual sense, and sensed it carefully.

When she searched for the cave that Xueying reported, she also felt that uncomfortable feeling.

It can be concluded that it is demonic energy without a doubt. In her impression, she has never seen demonic energy before, but for some reason, there is a voice in her heart that determines that it is demonic energy.

She narrowed her eyes and sighed, "No wonder Snow Eagle is so angry!"
