”We’re going to retreat, and you go in alone? Absolutely not.”

Murong Fei was the first to oppose Qin Tian’s suggestion.

Liu Fei’er also said: ”Young master, we came with you. If we leave, we leave together. If we stay, we stay together. We can’t abandon you.”

”Boss, maybe we should all go back together... It’s really too dangerous in there...”

Duan Xiaodao wanted to persuade Qin Tian, but before he could finish speaking, Qin Tian interrupted: ”We’ve gone through all this trouble to enter the Myriad Demon Mountain Range and have gained nothing. Just going back like this? I can’t afford to lose face like that! Besides, I promised Fei’er that I would kill Yin Yue Demon Venerate. Now that we know Yin Yue Demon Venerate is hiding in the Myriad Demon Mountain Range, do you think I can leave?”

Everyone fell silent.

But at this moment, even though Qin Tian wanted to persuade them to go back, none of them agreed.

So, in the end, the nine decided unanimously to cross the stone stele and directly enter the Heavenly Punishment Forest.

After crossing the stone stele, the white fog in the forest became even thicker, and beyond two meters, it was impossible to see anyone!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Suddenly, a gale rushed in, and suddenly, Qin Tian heard the sound of rustling leaves around the forest!

”Someone’s approaching, everyone be careful!”

Qin Tian’s True Qi circulated throughout his body, ready to strike at any moment!

Rustle, rustle, rustle...

The sound of moving leaves was constant, but no footsteps approached, nor did any killing intent draw near!

The nine immediately stopped in their tracks, standing by cautiously!

”Trespassers in the Heavenly Punishment Forest shall die without burial!”

”Hahaha... Outsiders, die!”

”Ignorant of life, you won’t walk out of the Heavenly Punishment Forest alive!”

Suddenly, a series of low tones echoed in the Heavenly Punishment Forest, sounds that were not human, nor did they seem like those of a beast, as if they came from some mysterious place, eerie sounds!

”Qin Lord, someone is playing tricks here, I request to fly out of the forest to investigate!”

A soldier from the Qin Family said.

Qin Tian nodded: ”Be careful, it feels like there are many mechanisms here. If it’s really restricted, flying into the sky might be dangerous.”

The Qin Family soldier nodded solemnly, but just as he was about to leap out, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky. Although he tried hard to dodge, the lightning seemed to follow him, easily knocking him to the ground!

Seeing this, Qin Tian quickly circulated his power, resisting part of the Thunder Power, allowing the soldier to land with only spitting blood, suffering minor injuries.

”Overestimating yourself, hahaha...”

”Kids, trap them!”

Rumble...

The eerie voice continued to echo, and Qin Tian suddenly discovered that a rumbling sound was coming from around him, and the towering trees around were starting to move in the thick fog!

Each of those branches, like sharp swords, madly attacked Qin Tian and the others!

”Tree Demon!?”

Qin Tian was stunned for a moment, seeing some trees around exude killing intent, attacking them, and quickly shouted: ”Everyone beware, the trees here seem to have turned demonic, their aggression is strong!”

Rumble!

As Qin Tian’s words fell, hundreds of thousands of trees began to move madly within the forest! Madly attacking!

Qin Tian wielded the Red Sword, continuously blocking, seeing Ah Tai following by his side. He quickly said: ”Ah Tai, don’t forget what I told you, go protect the two of them!”

”Aow, aow!”

Ah Tai barked twice and rushed towards the direction of Murong Fei and the others.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Beside Qin Tian, a towering tree’s branches shook violently, and the leaves turned into hidden weapon daggers, shooting at Qin Tian like a rain of arrows!

Clang, clang, clang!

Even in the thick fog, even facing rapidly speeding tree leaf hidden weapons, Qin Tian used sound recognition and his True Qi’s defensive power to resist the continuous attacks of the tree demons ahead.

”Who are you? Where did the sword in your hand come from?”

Unexpectedly, the tree demon in front of him could speak, and it was the eerie voice Qin Tian had heard before.

”Who are you? We came through the Heavenly Punishment Forest with goodwill, why do you insist on attacking us?”

Standing in place, Qin Tian watched the tree demon’s branches sway through the white fog, ready to strike at any moment.

”Hahaha, I am the Gatekeeper of the Myriad Demon Mountain Range, the Tree King Grandpa is me. Humph, kid, you’re not from the Demon Clan, ignoring the stele’s warning, trespassing here, you cannot live!”

The Tree King laughed loudly, and suddenly, two giant trees approached Qin Tian again!

Qin Tian used the Red Sword to easily defend, but the Tree King kept moving dozens of giant trees to crazily attack Qin Tian. For a quick resolution, Qin Tian immediately unleashed the Dragon Power!

Rumble!

However, he forgot about the effect of the ancient restriction in the Heavenly Punishment Forest. As the two True Qi Giant Dragons flew into the sky, they were instantly struck by two bolts of lightning, vanishing instantly!

”Ugh...”

Qin Tian immediately felt a tightness in his chest, clutching it, quickly withdrawing Qi, almost getting hit by the lightning.

”It seems I have no choice but to fight hard!”

Qin Tian grit his teeth, grasping the Red Sword, launching a frenzied counterattack against those giant trees!

Though these towering trees appeared mighty, in the face of Qin Tian’s sword moves, they couldn’t resist. Instantly, three trees were directly cut down in the middle by Qin Tian!

Crash!

Almost at the same time as Qin Tian crushed the entwining trees into retreat, vines on the ground started winding towards him!

The Tree King personally struck!

The Tree King’s vines extended infinitely, coiling around Qin Tian, attempting a sneak attack out of nowhere.

However, at this moment, Qin Tian was already bloodthirsty. Facing the Tree King’s vines, he swung his sword and chopped ferociously. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of meters of vines were shredded to pieces by Qin Tian!

”Hahaha, interesting, interesting... You do have some skill!”

The Tree King laughed loudly.

Clang, clang, clang!

At this moment, a peculiar bell sound suddenly arose in the sky of the Myriad Demon Mountain Range, carrying an invisible penetration force of True Qi, audible to both Qin Tian and the Tree King.

”Haha... I wanted to play with you, toy with you till death... But now, I don’t have time, need to attend a meeting... Kid, you’re on your own now! Haha... If you manage to survive till I return from the meeting, I’ll consider sending you off personally!”

With an arrogant laugh, the Tree King’s body gradually receded into the white fog, his laughter still resonating: ”Hahaha... Did you think I was just playing with you? Haha, I was using the stratagem of luring the tiger from its lair... Your companions had to die!”

Hearing the Tree King’s laughing voice, Qin Tian bolted with realization, turning to look back—

Behind him, a thick white fog loomed, and Murong Fei and the others were all gone!
