Chapter 90: Strength
The tree demon retreated, Ning Caichen and Yan Chixia dug a pit and buried Xiahou. The dead are the most important and the land is safe.
"Brother Xiahou, you and I have been fighting for more than ten years, and I am still not a smelly skin after my death."
Yan Chixia erected a monument in front of Xiahou's grave with a wooden sign and said to the tombstone that although he had been competing with Xiahou, there was no great hatred between them. On the contrary, there was also a kind of compassion for each other, which was exactly the same as that. Sometimes the enemy was also a friend, both enemies and friends. Ning Caichen remained silent and felt a little calm. He originally wanted to recruit a master like Xiahou for his own use, but he didn't expect that he was still one step late and could not change Xiahou's destiny.
The plan is up to others and the success is up to heaven. Ning Caichen believed that he had planned well, but he was one step late. He returned to Lanruo Temple with Yan Chixia, and didn't talk much along the way. He was in a heavy mood. He was thinking about what level the tree monster had reached, the advanced monster, or even the big monster realm.
Ning Caichen didn't believe it because he felt that the power of the tree demon was somewhat beyond the scope of the high-level monster. If Yan Chixia had not arrived in the end, he would not be sure that he would be 100% sure to escape without his own life. But if it were a big monster, it seemed something was wrong. The big monster was equivalent to a great cultivator of the soul and a supreme power of martial arts. The existence of that level communicates with the world and every move was the power of the heaven and earth. He waved his hand and collapsed mountains and earth. If the tree demon was really in the realm of the big monster, he had no doubt that he could not stand up for ten moves under the tree demon. Even if Yan Chixia was added, both of them would have to kneel down. If the high-level monster, the martial artist, and the cultivator of the Yanghun realm could still use the number to pile up, then the realm of the big monster would not be piled up by the number.
After all, when human power is exhausted, it is like a warrior of Huajin. If he fights against a thousand-man army and does not retreat, he will eventually be killed. Because his power is limited, it is not the case, but the great monster, the great cultivator of the soul, and the powerful martial arts. Strictly speaking, they have transcended the scope of mortals and broke through the shackles of life. Not only will their lifespan increase greatly, but they will also communicate with the world and constantly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to supplement themselves. That kind of existence is simply difficult to figure out.
"Master Yan, that tree demon..."
When he returned to Lanruo Temple, Ning Caichen finally asked Yan Chixia that he knew very little about the tree demon. Many of them were from the movies of the previous life. A thousand-year-old tree demon seemed to be half as strong as Yan Chixia. The final outcome was only sealed by Yan Chixia for a hundred years and could not be killed.
"That's a thousand-year-old tree demon." Yan Chixia's face was gloomy and finally told Ning Caichen: "Over the years, the situation has been uncertain. People in the temple have died and fled. Now there is no one left. Only the tree demon and some wandering ghosts..."
"How strong is that tree demon? Who is stronger than Taoist Master Yan?"
Ning Caichen asked again, this was his most concerned issue.
"I have been living in Lanruo Temple with my heart and realized the truth with my heart. I hope I can break through the shackles and achieve the great way of the soul, but I will never be able to do it."
"Where is the tree demon?" Ning Caichen asked. He understood Yan Chixia's realm and had already stepped into the realm of the soul with half his foot. Although he did not take the last half step, his strength was not comparable to that of ordinary cultivators in the realm of Yang Soul.
"The tree monster's magic power is a little stronger than mine, but when it breaks through the realm of the big monster, it has failed. Its strength is in the opinion of high-level monsters and great monsters, and it can only make a living by absorbing the essence of living people."
After saying that, Yan Chixia looked at Ning Caichen again—
"I think you are not weak, both civil and military cultivation, literary and martial arts are all great, and there is no rival in the same realm, but you are still a little short of dealing with the tree demon. If nothing is wrong, you should leave here quickly. The tree demon has already targeted you, otherwise you will attack you sooner or later."
"What about you? After tonight, I think that old demon will definitely be dissatisfied with you, and I'm afraid that one day we'll attack you."
Ning Caichen asked back, making Yan Chixia's face slightly calmer.
"You don't have to worry about my business. Although the old demon is a little stronger than me, the old demon is injured and cannot do anything to me for a while."
Ning Caichen felt a little moved when he heard Yan Chixia's words. Speaking of which, he and Yan Chixia were not meeting for the first time, but the other party was considering him everywhere.
"Master Yan thought you and I would join forces to deal with the old demon."
"You and I will join forces?" Yan Chixia raised her eyes and looked at Ning Caichen.
"A person who practices Taoism has a Tao in his heart. He knows that the old demon is evil, why don't he eliminate him? You and I join forces, and it may not be impossible to deal with the old demon."
Yan Chixia didn't speak, looking at Ning Caichen, but her eyes flashed. At this moment, he was moved. In his heart, he had already thought of dealing with the old demon, but he had never been sure. Now with Ning Caichen, the two of them joined forces. Although Ning Caichen was relatively weak, the dual cultivation of civil and military cultivation would not be much weaker than them. If he joined forces with Ning Caichen to deal with the tree demon, the chances of winning accounted for at least 50%. Moreover, he and the old demon were destined to be unable to live in peace. Once he had the chance, he was destined to fall, maybe a tree demon or himself.
"What are you going to do? Let's go to war directly with the old demon?"
Yan Chixia looked at Ning Caichen and asked.
"We know ourselves and our enemy, and we will never be defeated in a hundred battles. We don't know enough about the old demon. It's better to wait a few days first to explore the old demon's bottom."
"How to hit the bottom?"
"Uh... haven't thought about it yet."
Yan Chixia's face turned dark and suddenly felt that this guy was a little unreliable. Ning Caichen had a thick-skinned face and said with a smile—
"There is a road ahead of the mountain, so don't worry! Don't worry!"

"Grandma, are you okay?"
On the other side, the tree demon's face was gloomy, and a face was about to drip out of water. The woman in purple next to her came over and asked with concern.
"Hmph...b..."
However, facing the purple-clothed woman who came up, the tree demon raised his hand and slapped the latter on the face, slapped the other party on the ground to vent his anger. The purple-clothed woman became an angry bucket, got up from the ground in grievance, and walked to the tree demon again, but she did not dare to show any dissatisfaction.
"Grandma, why bother to be so arrogant?" Nie Xiaoqian said.
"Stir, I'm bad for you, I'll eat you sooner or later."
The tree demon's face was extremely difficult to see. Today, he was injured by Ning Caichen, which made him angry. He wanted to solve the scholar together, but he was destroyed by Yan Chixia, which made him feel angry.
"Grandma, isn't she just a stinky scholar? I'll go and help you catch him later."
Seeing Nie Xiaoqian talking next to the tree demon, the woman in purple felt a jealousy in her heart and spoke again, saying that she was willing to show herself.
"Bang..." But as soon as she finished her words, the tree demon's slap had already fallen on her face: "A scholar, if that scholar is really so easy to deal with, grandma, I will be injured."
The tree demon was furious, and the words of the woman in purple hit him in pain. Although he was hitting Ning Caichen just now, he also suffered some minor injuries, which made it feel very damaged. However, the tone of the woman in purple seemed to be Ning Caichen. Isn’t this a disguised saying that she is useless, making it very angry.
"Grandma, don't be angry anymore. Xiaodie just made a mistake. The most important thing we are now to think about how to deal with the scholar and the Taoist priest, otherwise I'm afraid they will join forces..."
