Chapter 1116: Chapter 1116: Rejected by the Soul Tree
On the other side, Scarlett Jennings and her group arrived deep within the Oblivion River, once again encountering the Fusang branch subrged in Oblivion yet connected to the Underworld.
Although they had seen Ivan and Zaraiah open ti-space portals, they weren’t here for that this ti.
“The Soul Tree in the Hearne Tribe ancestral grounds is transford from the Spiritual Power of the Fusang branch, and is naturally connected to the Fusang branch, so our next step is to open the channel connecting both,”
Ashton Todd said, quickly setting up an array around the Fusang branch in the Underworld.
Though he was seldom serious and often money-driven, he never lost his touch when it ca to his expertise.
“Tai Xuan Three-in-One, Treasures Condense Three Channels.”
As the array lit up, the Fusang branch also gradually brightened, as if inspired, its twigs suddenly extending towards the void, and then seemingly connecting to soplace, barely opening a passage.
The passage was tiny, too small for a person to pass through, and seed on the verge of closing at any mont.
Afraid of being doubted for his professionalism, Ashton Todd explained,
“The Soul Tree is having issues; its connection with the Fusang branch is weak. If we don’t go in now, this passage will be inaccessible.”
Hearing this, Magnolia Hearne didn’t hesitate. She grabbed Scarlett Jennings and said,
“I have a solution.”
With that, her demonic power dispersed, and right in front of everyone, Magnolia Hearne transford into her Five-tailed Fox true form, her petite body and big tail easily fitting through the passage.
Scarlett Jennings was infected by her demonic power and seed to have gained Inspiration. Without carrying about anything else, she transford into a Demon Fox for the first ti, a small creature, closely following Magnolia Hearne into the passage.
Samuel Chalrs, seeing this, instinctively transford into Golden Light and followed closely behind, but his Golden Light was imdiately repelled by a force, sending him out of the passage.
Golden Light reverting back to Samuel Chalrs’s figure, he frowned and abruptly looked at Ashton Todd beside him.
Ashton Todd had an innocent look on his face imdiately,
“It’s not my fault…”
He didn’t understand why he was excluded by the Soul Tree.
It shouldn’t be the case.
Aaron Hearne vaguely understood the reason, “The Soul Tree has been contaminated by malevolent thoughts, only demon veins connected to the Soul Bell on the Soul Tree can enter.”
Saying this, he looked at Samuel Chalrs and said,
“Sir, please help inform Simon, ask him to temporarily take charge of the Mystic Regulation Office on my behalf.”
With that, his tall figure suddenly transford into a gigantic Nine-tailed Fox, and then quickly turned into a flash of fox light, abruptly rushing into the soon-to-close passage.
He knew he should’ve followed his mother’s original plan, taking Magnolia Hearne to stabilize the outside situation.
But he couldn’t stop Scarlett Jennings, nor could he prevent Magnolia Hearne.
As an uncle, as a brother, and more as a son, he ultimately couldn’t claim innocence.
And at the mont Aaron Hearne completely entered, the passage abruptly closed.
The spiritual light on the Fusang branch dimd bit by bit, quickly reverting to its original appearance.
Samuel Chalrs, excluded by the Soul Tree, had a somber expression, saying nothing.
Ashton Todd dared not provoke him, staying quietly on the side, pretending he didn’t exist.
…
On the other side.
The mont Scarlett Jennings and Magnolia Hearne, transford into foxes, passed through the passage into the clan grounds, they felt a repelling force, landing and reverting to their original forms.
Seeing everything in front of them clearly, both were stunned.
They indeed arrived at the location of the Hearne Tribe ancestral grounds through the connecting passage of the Fusang branch.
But in the familiar courtyard before them, the Soul Tree was nowhere to be seen.
Moreover, the entire clan grounds wasn’t plunged into chaos as imagined under the malevolent control of Shu’e.
The entire clan grounds was silent, with no trace of any presence.
“What’s going on?”
Where did the people in the clan grounds go?
Where did the Soul Tree go?
“The Soul Tree should have been taken into the Domain by mother.”
Aaron Hearne, appearing thereafter, spoke.
Compared with the two, he was evidently more aware of the potential situations in the clan grounds.
The Soul Tree was having problems; to preserve the Soul Tree and the Soul Bell on it, Emily Hearne would certainly first take it into her Domain.
For her Intent was the safest place.
But now, things seed not so simple.
“What about the clansn?”
Scarlett Jennings couldn’t help but ask.
The clan grounds had been sealed by a Barrier; all the clansn inside couldn’t leave, so there was no need to deliberately send everyone into the Domain, which was unreasonable.
“First, find the elder,”
Aaron Hearne said.
He and Emily Hearne had suspected before that one of the elders might be controlled by Shu’e, but they couldn’t identify precisely who.
Even if the opponent made a sudden move, at least the other elders would likely react.
Find the elder, and they’d find Emily Hearne.
Scarlett Jennings and Magnolia Hearne had no objections, the three followed faint traces walking through the Clan Garden.
Magnolia Hearne was familiar with the place, but not as familiar as Aaron Hearne.
Since she and Scarlett more frequently road the Main Garden, outside which were various subsidiary gardens, each a separate courtyard with corridors.
Aaron Hearne didn’t directly head to the subsidiary gardens where the elders resided but instead brought the two straight to a forbidden land within the clan grounds.
There was the burial place of ancestors in the past, not only a forbidden land of the clan but also the place where the clansn retreated last.
Even Magnolia Hearne hadn’t been to this place before.
But as the three approached, they finally sensed the aura belonging to the clansn within the forbidden land…
And another malevolent demon’s presence.
Malevolent demon…
A malevolent demon couldn’t possibly exist within the clan grounds unless… it was soone from the tribe eroded by malevolent thoughts.
Sure enough, as soon as the three entered, they felt malevolent thoughts almost filled every corner of the forbidden land.
Within the forbidden land, nurous clansn had already fallen.
So surrounded by dark air, so completely drained of demonic power, with no signs of life.
But at this mont, no one paid attention to them.
In front of a cave door sowhere in the forbidden land, four elders with a dozen clansn were desperately maintaining a Barrier.
Under their feet, Noah and two other elders had already fainted.
In front of them, Elder Ethan led a group of malevolent demons evidently controlled by malevolent thoughts, viciously trying to break the Barrier before them.
Sensing the familiar aura from outsiders, Elder Ethan and a group of malevolent demons turned their heads, their eyes darkened,
“How did you all get here?”
The Barrier of clan grounds was activated, how could these people enter?
Scarlett Jennings and the other two maintained expressionless faces, and Aaron Hearne, on recognizing Elder Ethan, his gaze cold as ice,
“So it’s you.”
No more words were needed, his demonic power erupted around him, nine tails spreading, his figure like lightning, directly rushing towards Elder Ethan.
Scarlett Jennings and Magnolia Hearne, seeing this, didn’t hesitate either, their demonic power dispersed, the two figures charging fiercely into the group of malevolent demons.
The elders within the Barrier, seeing this, didn’t exhibit the slightest joy at the appearance of reinforcents, instead hurriedly shouted,
“Don’t use demonic power!”
The more demonic power is released, the faster one is entangled by malevolent thoughts.
Sure enough, at the mont the three made their move, the air surrounding them almost materialized into black malevolent thoughts like bloodthirsty jackals, rushing towards the three from all directions…
