Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

When Xu Hao was still dozens of miles away from the towering tree, he suddenly discovered that there were other people nearby, including Yun Chenglai and Fairy Qingyu, who had been chasing him all the way in.

The two also spotted Xu Hao, and were furious, pointing angrily at him.

"You bastard! If it weren't for you, neither of us would have ended up in this godforsaken place. I'll kill you!!!"

Previously in Zhentian City, Yun Chenglai was always a refined and elegant gentleman, which earned him much praise.

Who would have thought he had such a side?

Xu Hao sneered and questioned, "Is it my fault for putting you in danger? If you weren't chasing me for the treasure, why would you have come here?"

"Stop wasting time talking to him, attack!" Fairy Qingyu shouted sharply.

Just as Yun Chenglai and Fairy Qingyu were about to make their move, a sudden change occurred.

“Swish, swish, swish!!”

Behind them, branches and vines, each about ten feet in diameter, emerged from the ground and continued to grow upwards.

These branches and vines are arranged in rows, like a woven cage, forming a series of impenetrable walls.

These walls, made of branches and vines, connected together and eventually became like a cage, trapping them inside.

"Oh no! This place is dangerous, let's go!!"

With their lives at stake, Yun Chenglai and Fairy Qingyu disregarded Xu Hao and turned to rush towards the wall made of branches and vines. At the same time, they swung their weapons and launched attacks, trying to break the wall.

"boom!!"

"boom!!"

After a series of dazzling lights, the wall made of branches and vines was completely unharmed.

"What!!"

Yun Chenglai and Fairy Qingyu's expressions changed drastically, they were horrified.

The two, both at the fourth level of the True Saint Realm, were completely helpless against these branches and vines, and they were now in a state of utter panic.

At this moment, the branches and vines that make up the wall have grown to about a thousand feet tall. If they continue to grow, they will soon connect with the branches of the big trees and completely form a cage.

Xu Hao also tried various methods, but the results were minimal.

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, a tall, blue-robed cultivator flew over from a distance; he was also a True Saint Realm cultivator.

"Were you also driven here by these sentient plants and trees?"

Xu Hao and the other two nodded.

The monk in blue robes said, "How about we work together to break through this wall?"

“Okay!” Yun Chenglai quickly replied.

To save his own life, he could temporarily set aside even the hatred of killing his father.

So the four of them attacked the same spot at the same time.

"boom!"

"boom!!"

The thick branch only suffered a small cut about four fingers deep, which quickly healed.

Upon seeing this, the four men's faces turned ashen.

Clearly, the four of them were not strong enough; even if they joined forces, they couldn't break through.

"Damn it! We can't wait any longer!"

Yun Chenglai took out an ordinary-looking talisman, and the blue-robed cultivator exclaimed in surprise, "A Void Escape Talisman!!"

Xu Hao had also heard of it; it was a talisman made by immortals, extremely valuable, and an excellent treasure for escaping.

Yun Chenglai also has a powerful backer, so it's normal for him to bring out such a treasure.

The laws of heaven and earth in the immortal realm are more complete and powerful. Even emperor-level experts cannot traverse the void, nor can they create similar treasures. Only immortals can.

"Snapped!!"

Just as Yun Chenglai was about to activate the Escape Talisman, a slender tree branch appeared beside him without his noticing and flicked him away.

Before Yun Cheng could recover, branches hanging from the towering tree bound him up like a rice dumpling, rendering him completely immobile. He couldn't even open his mouth; only his eyes could move.

Xu Hao finally realized that the huge fruits hanging on the tree were not fruits at all, but rather a group of bound geniuses. Some of these geniuses were even still alive, and must have been bound before them.

"this...."

Everything happened so fast that the others couldn't react in time, and Yun Chenglai was already trapped.

When they discovered that the fruits hanging on the tree were all the bound prodigies, their faces turned ashen, and their hearts sank into an icy abyss.

The tree branch pulled Yun Chenglai, who was tied up like a rice dumpling, up the tree. Soon, Yun Chenglai would become one of the many 'fruits'. Inside, he stared wide-eyed at Fairy Qingyu, as if he were shouting.

"Help me! Help me!!"

Fairy Qingyu flew forward, trying to split the tree branch, but unexpectedly, she was also tied up by the branch in a moment.

The blue-robed cultivator was no exception; he had neither the means nor the opportunity to resist, and soon became a victim as well.

Clearly, this has exceeded their limits; even a true saint would not escape this calamity.

The tree seemed to follow the principle of strong trees first and weak trees later. Seeing that Xu Hao was the next one, he suddenly changed direction and flew down the tree.

Furthermore, he used secret techniques to enhance his cultivation and fully activated his escape technique, reaching an extreme speed.

Even so, the branches continued to approach him at a visible speed, and it was almost certain that he would be captured; there was absolutely no chance of escape.

As Xu Hao drew closer to the towering tree, his divine sense also revealed the condition of the bound prodigies.

Their faces were filled with pain, the kind of pain that comes from being unable to live or die, a pain of despair and helplessness.

Xu Hao had seen a similar expression only a handful of times.

This was because a branch about the thickness of a thumb pierced their bodies and lodged in their dantian (lower abdomen), through which powerful streams of true energy were transported into the tree.

These trapped prodigies were like fertilizer, their nutrients being constantly absorbed by the tree.

The key is that they are still alive and can clearly sense that their true essence is being absorbed little by little, and even the energy in their flesh and blood is slowly decreasing.

If this continues, their ultimate fate will be to be completely drained, so they might as well just die.

It's no wonder they had those expressions. Anyone in that situation would rather die than suffer such pain.

Xu Hao even saw a genius at the ninth level of the True Saint Realm trapped inside, becoming a fruit suffering greatly.

It can be said that from the moment they arrived at this ruin, no one has been able to escape.

Either die, or come here and be imprisoned as a fruit.

If those people could have known their ultimate fate in advance, they probably would have tried to escape long ago, or fought those sentient plants and trees.

At this moment, the branch was only a dozen feet away from Xu Hao, and in the next moment, he would become one of the many fruits hanging on the tree.

"Well, there's nothing I can do but leave now."

Xu Hao closed his eyes, summoned the double-door, and stepped through.

"Snapped!!"

Xu Hao's figure vanished instantly, and the next moment he returned to the courtyard where he usually lived in the Xu family of Cangzhou in the Tianyuan Realm.

The branch that was originally heading towards Xu Hao was left empty-handed and had to go find other targets.
