Chapter 400: The Winds And Waves Rise!

Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

Not everyone could accept the existence of the Human-Faced Peach Tree. Although the peach tree was a top-tier spirit plant, the act of using humans as fertilizer was not something that Ying Jia could accept.

An hour later, a huge commotion spread through the entire city!

"Did you hear? The Human-Faced Peach Tree that all the large sects are looking for has finally appeared!"

"Of course I've heard of it. This is such a huge matter, how is it possible not to know? Not only this, I heard that the Human-Faced Peach Tree is inside the City Lord manor!"

Two Qi refining cultivators discussed excitedly on this streets.

"No wonder so many strange things happened recently. I thought that the culprit was just a highly skilled expert with unique skills, but who would have thought that it was actually the City Lord himself!"

"Ai, those people that went missing have probably all turned into fertilizer for the Human-Faced Peach Tree by now."

Everyone was discussing fervently, but not a single person went to the City Lord Manor.

The City Lord manor was a place with unfathomable foundations. It was the number one family in the city. Furthermore, these rogue cultivators were not so ambitious as to target the Human-Faced Peach Tree. They only wanted to follow behind the large powers and pick up some scraps and minor advantages.

The moment all the large clans banded together and attacked into the City Lord Manor, all these rogue cultivators would turn into a pack of vultures circling above the dying lions.

"Is this news reliable? Who sent it!?" a stalwart old man in the Li Clan demanded. This old man had a rosy complexion and although his head was full of white hair, he did not seem old at all from his skin.

"Old ancestor, it's not clear who spread the rumor, but it's still better to believe it than to miss out!" a middle-aged man replied tactfully.

"En, although the Human-Faced Peach Tree has appeared, the matter is now known to everyone. In that case, it's not something we can take for ourselves. But if we present it to the sects, there won't be any lack of benefits for us. Let's go, we'll go directly to the City Lord manor; the old fellows from the other clans will definitely not be able to sit still as well."

The old man thought for a while and decided. Even if the news about the Human-Faced Peach Tree had spread out, the people from the sects would not be able to reach here so quickly. Thus, whoever could snatch this Human-Faced Peach Tree and present it to the sects would be seen to have contributed greatly.

"AH! Dammit! Can it be that that fellow has no desire for the Human-Faced Peach Tree at all?!"

Lin Qingyun's rage had reached its peak. Everyone in the manor was mute and timid, afraid that if they breathed too loudly, they might lose their lives.

The two guards that were supposed to be watching the Human-Faced Peach Tree were now tortured to such an extent that they no longer resembled humans.

"Bastards useless for anything good but only great at messing things up."

Lin Qingyun slapped down angrily, blazing hot flames bursting from his palms. In an instant, two piles of ashes remained of the two Golden Dan experts.

With this strike alone, it was obvious how powerful his control over his strength was!

The temperature was high enough to reduce two Golden Experts to dust, yet it did not even scorch the ground!

"Gather everyone immediately, and ask those Golden Dan experts who are in seclusion to come out as well!" Lin Qingyun instructed coldly.

"This subordinate obeys!"

A black shadow flashed and disappeared.

"Ying Jia, and the Ying Clan! All of you deserve to die!"

Lin Qingyun's frosty voice reverberated through the empty hall.

"I'm already willing to share the Human-Faced Peach Tree with you all; if you'd just knocked on the door and directly asked for a share, I would have agreed. But you doing this is asking for my Lin Clan's life!"

Lin Qingyun's eyes were completely red, like a gambler who had lost all his money.

The best choice right now was to hand the Human-Faced Peach Tree to someone else. Although the Lin Clan was strong, it was not strong enough to ignore the combined forces of all the powerful clans in the city.

But what Lin Qingyun wanted to do the most was to protect the Human-Faced Peach Tree, he couldn't hand it over no matter what!

Such a choice was extremely dumb if one looked at the options logically. Even if it was Lin Qingyun who was being crazy, it was impossible that the people under him would not see through things. But the strange thing now was that every single person seemed to be supporting Lin Qingyun's decision fully, and no one raised any objections at all!

Only the younger generation seemed to have sensed that something was wrong. But when they raised their doubts, it seemed to disappear like a stone tossed into the ocean. There wasn't the slightest bit of response!

At this time, inside the secret realm, the peaches on the Human-Faced Peach Tree had finally stopped switching faces; all the faces were locked together. Numerous evil expressions hung on the surface of the fruits.

A large group of cultivators rushed towards the City Lord manor. The people from the large clans were not the only ones; there were numerous loose cultivators there to seek minor advantages.

There were even some disciples from the large sects who happened to be in the city as well. When they heard the news, they were beside themselves with joy.

"Senior Brother Yan, it looks like we lucked out this time. Who would have thought that the Human-Faced Peach Tree would appear in such a remote place!"

A sect disciple dressed in red was dashing across the the sky like a ray of red light.

"Haha, the Human-Faced Peach Tree does not require ling Qi to grow; the best nutrients for it are humans. Thus, it appearing in such a poor and desolate place is not anything strange."

The leader was actually one of the most valued disciples of Infernal Hell Sect. As he was not able to compete with the other disciples, he was dispatched to this land where the ling Qi was comparatively weak. However, nobody expected that the Human-Faced Peach would show up here!

Regardless of whether this piece of news was true or fake, Yan Zhan would not choose to give up.

"Don't be careless, the other two disciples are not that easy to deal with."

Upon hearing this, Yan Zhan's face regained seriousness. The thought of the other two disciples made his head hurt.

Inside the manor, thousands of Golden Dan cultivators and members of the five great Clans gathered. Among them, the head of the Qin Clan said half-mockingly, "City Lord, I heard that you've obtained the Human-Faced Peach Tree? Would it be possible to let me have a look to broaden my horizons?"

"This one does not have such fortune. If I had found it, with the Human-Faced Peach Tree being so highly sought after by all sects, I would have long presented it to them," Lin Qingyun said after taking a sip of his tea.

He suppressed his internal rage even though the sight of the Ying Clan made him long to drink their blood and eat their flesh.

The patriarch of the Feng Clan stepped out and said, "Haha, we naturally believe the City Lord, however, the matter is extremely important, and as the saying goes, there's no smoke without fire. For the sake of everyone's safety, we still need to search around a little. What does City Lord think?"

Lin Qingyun's eyes turned cold as he dug his fingernails deeper into his palms.

Hundreds of Golden Dan experts had gathered on the other side. But as the City Lord, the strength he could summon was also not weak. Over a hundred Golden Dan experts stood behind him as well.

'Damn it! The trouble could have come earlier or later, but it just had to choose this timing! As long as I had another half a day, all the Golden Dan experts from my Lin Clan would be back! At that time, what would be the difficulty in killing off all these bastards!'

Lin Qingyun felt so stifled that he wanted to vomit out a mouthful of blood. The area that the Lin Clan controlled was too vast. This was not the only city they were ruling, it was just that their roots were in this mega-city. There were still large cities, medium cities, and small cities under them!

These cities all needed the core members of the Lin Clan to overlook them, causing their power to be spread out over a large area. In fact, calculating the time, considering that the order to recall everyone had been sent out three days ago, they still needed a bit more time to arrive.

The number of Golden Dan cultivators in the entire Lin Clan was also several hundred. And with the giant formation laid out in the city with the Lin Clan as the core, they could definitely wipe out all their opponents!

"What's wrong? Does City Lord have something to hide? Since City Lord has said so assuredly that the Human-Faced Peach Tree is not in the City Lord manor, why won't you let us investigate?" the Shi Clan patriarch added with a cold smile.

Now that all the major powers of the city have banded together, they were naturally not afraid of the City Lord manor.
