Chapter 651: Chapter 671: Why Do You Treat Him So Differently? _1

Little Sapling’s body suddenly stiffened.

She suddenly burrowed into the soil below, trying to return underground, but as soon as her roots moved, her body was locked by a huge breath of energy, making it impossible for her to burrow down.

Little Sapling stiffly turned her tender young body and looked at Qiao Wei standing in front of her with a faint smile on her face. Desperate, she asked: "Didn’t you leave?"

Qiao Wei calmly replied, "Your Nascent Soul escaped and burrowed underground. Did you think I wouldn’t know?"

Little Sapling was completely desperate.

"You said your Nascent Soul was at the Great Perfection stage, but you lied. How can this strength of yours be at Nascent Soul Stage? It’s more like you’re at Transforming God Stage!"

Of course, Qiao Wei wouldn’t explain anything to Little Sapling. She grabbed Little Sapling in midair, and Little Sapling was instantly unable to resist, floating in Qiao Wei’s hand.

Little Sapling closed her eyes desperately, waiting for death to come.

She underestimated Qiao Wei’s strength, thinking that she could fight her, only to be utterly defeated and killed in the end.

In a moment of desperation, her Nascent Soul detached from her body, quickly fleeing underground.

Since the Nascent Soul had no physical form, escaping underground was very easy. She fled far away in one breath. However, the Nascent Souls at this stage did not yet evolve into Primordial Spirits, making them very weak. They were like newborn babies who could not survive for very long after leaving their hosts.

Luckily, she was a Tree Demon, and while fleeing underground, she found a sapling that she could possess. She merged with it and finally emerged from the soil, only to find that Qiao Wei was waiting for her like a hunter waiting for a rabbit.

Previously, she was in the form of a Nascent Soul, making it easy to escape. But now that she had possessed the sapling, her strength had considerably weakened, and she had no choice but to wait for death.

All Qiao Wei had to do was to squeeze the sapling, and Little Sapling would explode and die.

She waited for quite a while, and when nothing happened, she opened her eyes and asked Qiao Wei, "Why won’t you make a move?"

Qiao Wei smiled, "Tree Demons are rare in the world, and it would be a pity to kill you. Besides, you are already crippled, so I might as well keep you as a toy."

Little Sapling clenched her teeth, but there was nothing she could do.

Qiao Wei casually snatched her up, sealed her, and put her in a bag attached to her waist before flying upward.

...

"Where did Sect Master Qiao go?"

Murong Feng opened his eyes, and a trace of color returned to his pale face. The battle that had just occurred almost exhausted him.

Su Mubai, sitting cross-legged not far away, glanced at Lin Chen, who was still closing his eyes and healing. He replied, "I don’t know, we’ll have to wait and see."

That glance of Su Mubai fell into Murong Feng’s eyes, igniting another bout of jealousy in his heart.

There’s a problem!

You two definitely have a problem!

Murong Feng sighed, "I didn’t expect to encounter such a powerful Tree Demon. We were almost all wiped out."

Su Mubai nodded, "Thanks to Lin Chen, with the help of the Water-Fire Mirror, we were able to severely injure the Tree Demon, delaying it for so long. Otherwise, we wouldn’t even have had the opportunity to use the Distress Talisman, let alone escape."

Murong Feng asked in confusion, "Isn’t the Water-Fire Realm a magical treasure of Water-Fire True Man, and isn’t it said to have disappeared a long time ago? How did it end up in Lin Chen’s hands? I’ve never heard of him before."

Su Mubai explained, "He came from the human world, not having been here long. The Water-Fire Mirror must have been brought in from outside."

"From outside?"

Murong Feng was stunned and immediately asked, "Sister Su, how do you know this so clearly?"

Su Mubai calmly replied, "Didn’t I meet him before? We talked for a while, and that’s how I came to know about it."

Earlier, Su Mubai had been worried about causing trouble for Lin Chen, so she had been very careful in her speech. But now, seeing that Lin Chen was not only at the Golden Core Realm but also possessed the powerful Water-Fire Mirror and had Qiao Wei’s protection, she no longer needed to deliberately hide anything.

Qiao Wei even taught Lin Chen the Three-foot Sword Curtain technique; their relationship, if not as master and disciple, was definitely very close. With Qiao Wei’s protection, Murong Feng wouldn’t dare to openly harm Lin Chen.

Although the Deputy Sect Master of the Flying Crane Sect was powerful, he was no match for an enraged Qiao Wei.

Qiao Wei was an extraordinary figure of Nanyue Hengshan Cave Sky. Her strength was only at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection stage, but in a real battle, even a cultivator at the Transforming God Stage might not be able to withstand her attacks!

Which of the Four Great Sect Masters wasn’t at the Transforming God Stage? They had all fought Qiao Wei, but not one of them could say with certainty that they could win against her.

Murong Feng reluctantly asked, "Why did you specifically take care of him when there were so many people around?"

Su Mubai calmly replied, "If it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t be chatting here right now."

Murong Feng was speechless after hearing Su Mubai’s words.

He really wanted to say that he hadn’t tried his best, that he had also made a contribution, but when he thought about how he was defeated in one hit by the Tree Demon while Lin Chen could severely injure it and repeatedly repel its attacks, he found the words hard to say.

"That’s true, if it weren’t for Lin Chen’s Water-Fire Mirror, we would probably have been dried up by now."

What Murong Feng meant by this statement was not Lin Chen’s prowess, but the power of the Water-Fire Mirror.

If the Water-Fire Mirror were in my hands, I could do the same!

Su Mubai remained silent, looking at Lin Chen with admiration in her eyes.

Indeed, the Water-Fire Mirror was powerful, but in that battle, Lin Chen had shown much more than just the power of the Water-Fire Mirror.
