In the spacious and bright tent, Zhang Hao and the four of them sat opposite each other. Several people had their own thoughts, and their eyes showed a thoughtful look.

"Whew"

After a long time, a breeze blew, and the tent of the barracks was pushed open, and the person who came hung the curtain with a solemn face and nodded to a few people in the camp.

"Brother Mao, how is it?" Zhai Qing got up slightly, picked up the teacup on the table in front of him and handed it to Mao Jie, and asked in a deep voice.

"Hey!"

Sighing, Mao Jie's face also eased, and said: "The Divine Tree has completely sunk into the ground, except for the dead branches and leaves scattered on the ground, I sent someone to dig a distance of nearly ten zhang, but I didn't find any traces left by the Divine Tree, just like her appearance, and now it has disappeared without leaving the slightest trace." ”

"Or is it withered?" Zhai Qing said with a stunned expression: "The Divine Tree that has survived for thousands of years is now unable to escape death and decay, and when this news comes out, I am afraid that it will immediately shock the entire Dalu!"

"Senior Mao, what do you say about the Hengfeng Empire and the Shanlan Empire?" Lin Jie also sighed secretly and asked.

"I've already told them about what just happened, plus the two masters themselves faintly saw some in the air when the Divine Tree collapsed. Therefore, there was no dispute. They had already sent someone to send the news of the death of the Divine Tree back to their respective empires overnight. ”

After that, Mao Jie said with a lonely face: "It has been sixty years since she was stationed here around the guardian tree, and she has been accompanied by the sacred tree every day, and now she disappeared so abruptly for no reason, and she always feels that something is missing in her heart, full of loneliness." ”

Feeling Mao Jie's depressed mood, Zhai Qing reached out and patted him on the shoulder, comforting: "The Divine Tree has been blessed with the heavens for thousands of years, just like her inexplicable arrival at the beginning, disappearing may also be her deep meaning." ”

Nodding, Mao Jie seemed to think of something, looked at Zhang Hao with a strange look in his eyes, and said, "Young man, if I'm not mistaken, you were pulled into the body of the Divine Tree by the test light entangled in the Holy Illusion Pill before, and then walked out with the collapse of the Divine Tree, what's the strange thing in between?"

"It's coming!"

Hearing this, Zhang Hao said secretly in his heart, and his brows slowly furrowed. He had long expected to be asked about this question, so he had been secretly discussing countermeasures with Chan Qian just now.

"Xiao Hao, don't be nervous. The Divine Tree exists for eternity, and you can be said to be the first person to come out of Zhengyuan Dalu, so deal with them according to what we discussed just now. Even if they have suspicions, they will not go to the evil kun to confront them. ”

Zen Qianwu's words came from his heart, Zhang Hao nodded slightly, and then raised his eyes and swept around the people present, and found that everyone's faces were full of Xiyi, he considered his words and said: "There is another party shijie in the sacred tree!"

Hearing this, Zhai Qing's expression was stunned, and he immediately reacted, and said in surprise: "Xiao Hao, do you mean the space split by the tenfold phantom master?"

"Yes, this shijie is a living space. It stands to reason that the Holy Illusion Divine Tree has such great power that it should be filled with pure life breath in that shijie, but when I entered it, I found that it was filled with gray death qi everywhere. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Hao sighed lightly: "Later, I luckily passed through the periphery of that shijie and came to the core to see the tree soul of the Holy Illusion Divine Tree. When I found her, she was too old and unpresentable. It seemed that a large amount of life essence had been lost. ”

"The Divine Tree Tree Soul Decay?"

Listening to Zhang Hao's explanation, Mao Jie slowly shook his head and said, "Impossible! The old man has been with the Divine Tree for sixty years, and the aura on her body has been very stable, and the vitality she exudes is vigorous and powerful, and there is no sign of decay at all!"

"What if it was done by Evil Kun?" The corners of Zhang Hao's mouth lifted an arc, and when he said something, the faces of several people present sank.

"Before the soul of the Divine Tree dissipated, it exhausted a wisp of life essence and sacrificed a scene image. In the image, she fought a battle with the evil kun, and the two sides were each traumatized. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Hao changed his words and looked at Zhai Qing: "Dean, do you remember those strong masters devoured by the Holy Illusion Divine Tree?"

"Remember!" Zhai Qing replied, "The earliest one was seven thousand years ago, and the twelve subsequent summoning masters and six summoning saint masters all happened in the next three thousand years!"

Seeing that Zhai Qing finished speaking, his eyes were filled with thought, and Zhang Hao picked up the conversation in a timely manner: "The Divine Tree Soul should have died within a few years after the Evil Kun War. But it was precisely because of the nourishment of the vitality in the bodies of those ten or twenty masters that it was maintained for so long. ”

"The tree soul has been hit hard, how can you still capture the top master in this world?"

Although Evil Kun has the assistance of the power of the evil god, and his strength is the best in Dalu, but due to the constraints of heaven and earth, he has always been limited to the summoner Shijie's law. At the beginning, he walked out of the Divine Tree, but he was seriously injured and died frequently, otherwise, how could he give up the good situation that was about to successfully subvert Dalu for decades? It was expected that the Tree Soul would also be hit hard, how could he have the spare strength to capture and kill the master who summoned the Divine Master? Therefore, Lin Jie was quite puzzled.

"At that time, the space inside the Divine Tree was on the verge of collapse, and the life essence of that Shijie turned into death. It was during this time that a priest stepped into it, was trapped by the breath of death, and died. The vitality in his body and the contracted phantom beast continued the existence of the tree soul. Then the tree soul devoured the rest of the masters, and with the nourishment of those people, she has been allowed to exist until now. ”

Seeing Lin Jie nodding in approval, Zhang Hao let out a long sigh and said, "The Divine Tree Origin Life Pill has been severely damaged, and it has not absorbed new nutrients for so many years, so the anger is getting more and more gone. However, she is doing her best to keep the tree alive, just to find a suitable person to avenge her!"

At this point, Zhang Hao turned his eyes to look at Zhai Qing and made a look: "As for Weishenme choosing me, maybe the dean knows it in his heart." ”

Hearing this, Zhai Qing's face was suffocated, and when he saw Lin Jie and Mao Jie shift their gaze over, his face changed, but he remained silent.

After a long time, seeing that Zhai Qing was still calm and silent, Mao Jie said anxiously: "Brother Zhai, you and I have been friends for more than a hundred years, is there anything you can't tell me? Could it be that with the royal hat on my head, do you really think that I am a member of the imperial family? I am just to stay around the Holy Illusion Tree and better use the vitality of the Divine Tree to cultivate!"

Raising his eyes to stare at Mao Jie, and then at Lin Jie, Zhai Qing thought for a moment, and then muttered: "The old man can only say one thing, Xiao Hao is from the Tianshui Zhang family. He was sent out of his family since he was a child, and he came to the empire a few months ago following the instructions of his predecessors. It's not that you can't say anything else, but it's that it's too shocking, how can you guarantee that you won't pass on today's words?"

"Dean Zhai, if you can't believe me, I'm willing to swear by my soul now!" Hearing the words Zhang Jia, Lin Jie's eyes froze and said firmly.

Waving his hand slightly, Zhai Qing let out a sigh of relief and said, "Your grandfather, Master Shui Wo, and the guardian of the Zhang family are friends of life and death, and they have been friends for nearly a thousand years. The old man can trust you!"

Hearing this, Mao Jie's face changed, and he said angrily: "Brother means that he can't trust me, then I will swear by the Divine Soul Contract now, if I reveal today's events, I will ......"

Before the words were finished, Zhai Qing grabbed Mao Jie's arm, looked at the other party for a long time, and sighed: "Brother, I believe in you!"

"Zhang Hao grew up in the countryside since he was a child, and he is fifteen years old this year, and his soul has not yet been opened, and he has cultivated the Seven Major Realms of the Phantom Body. His talent is the Ultimate Dark Soul that has disappeared for more than 80,000 years on Zhengyuan Dalu!"

"What did you say?"

"How is that possible?"

Hearing this, Lin Jie and Mao Jie suddenly changed color, and the two of them left their seats almost at the same time, their faces full of unbelievable colors.

Stretching out his hand and pressing down slightly, motioning for Lin Jie and Mao Jie to sit down, Zhai Qing smiled bitterly: "It was the old man who personally identified the soul for Zhang Hao, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it." After getting this result, the old man was also demented on the spot for a while, and he couldn't even speak. ”

The clenched palm loosened slightly, and Lin Jie let out a long breath. With her and Mao Jie's strength, today is a series of gaffes, not because their hearts are not calm enough, but because everything that happened is too unbelievable, it is beyond their imagination.

On the other side, looking at the expressions on Lin Jie and Mao Jie's faces, Zhang Hao smiled slightly, he knew that the matter of the Holy Illusion Divine Tree had now been revealed.

After quickly reversing the words just now in his mind a few times, Lin Jie glanced at Zhang Hao in surprise and said, "Xiao Hao was sent out of the family since he was a child, could it be that the seniors in the clan wanted to cover up his talent and secretly cultivate a peerless master in order to ......."

In order to break the shackles of heaven and earth for 80,000 years, break through the sky and fly away. And become the only master who can compete with the evil kun in the future. Chan Qian stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Hao's head, and said with a smile: "The burden on this little guy is not ordinarily heavy!"

After finishing speaking, Zhai Qing said with a solemn face: "Now Dalu is calm on the surface, but in fact, it is turbulent. The royal family of the Hengfeng Empire seems to have secretly colluded with the evil master family, and it has been in constant conflict with the Tianshui Empire for a hundred years, and the contradictions have escalated. In the past few hundred years, the Cheng family has been free from the control of the royal family and has risen very rapidly, and secretly it seems that it is also inseparable from the evil master family. A few days ago, the evil master family sent a master of the divine master to Shuichang City, and for some reason, the old man had already notified the royal family to send a master to come. All this shows that the evil master family has learned to be smart after thousands of years of recuperation. This attempt to split from within will bring down the Zhengyuan Dalu! ”

Listening to Chan Qian's earnest words, Mao Jie suddenly said: "What the elder brother means is that before Zhang Hao Xiaoyou grows up, try not to reveal his identity. Otherwise, it is very likely that the evil master family will try their best to capture and kill them to ensure the smooth development of the operation to subvert Dalu. And it was precisely when the predecessors of the Zhang family discovered this that they sent him out of the family as a waste?"

"The old man thinks so too!"

Zhai Qing pondered for a long time and said, "Xiao Hao's fact that he was pulled into his body by the Holy Illusion Divine Tree has already been known to Miao Ying and Du Sheng. Once the news is transmitted back to the imperial capital, and the disappearance of the sacred tree, it will definitely attract attention. Therefore, what we have to do now is to hide Xiao Hao's exit from the Holy Illusion Divine Tree for the time being, and the longer the better. Give him plenty of time to grow. ”

"This is not a trivial matter, I must inform my grandfather as soon as possible!"

"No, it is said that the head of the Zhang family may now step into the realm of the divine master at any time, and more importantly, at the same time, he wants to use the contracted phantom beast to break through to the eleven-star level in one fell swoop with the help of the Erxiao Divine Thunder Refining Body. For this reason, the Zhang family united no less than seven divine masters to set up the Seven Directions Peerless Array, and your grandfather Shui Yan Divine Master is one of them, and the master will also try his best to cooperate at that time. Interrupting at such a critical moment will definitely distract them!"

Nodding, Lin Jie asked, "Dean Zhai, what do you mean?"

"Let Xiao Hao hide in Zhongping Academy for the time being, during this time, the old man will personally take him to cultivate, and everything will be made after the head of the Zhang family breaks through the divine master!

"This is absolutely incumbent!"

Seeing that his casual nonsense lies were just to explain the reason for coming out of the sacred tree, he didn't expect Zuihou to cause Zhai Qing and the others to think so complicatedly, looking at the three pensive faces, his eyebrows were raised for no reason.

"Boy, it seems that in the near future, there will be a few more top masters around you for free!"

There was a smug laugh from the bottom of his heart, and Zhang Hao shrugged helplessly. No one could have imagined that there was a destiny in the dark, Zhai Qing and the others thought so complicatedly so much today, and finally came to the conclusion that Zhang Hao's talent and existence were unanimous in hiding it, but not long after, the latter was still discovered by the evil master family......
