Sigh!Fang Heng looked at Senzo, thinking that this round was over.
Even the Great Elder has come, and with so many people guarding, it’s even harder to escape now.
Fang Heng quickly considered how to maximize his benefits and escape. However, he smiled and said, “Elder Senzo, look at you speaking like that. I heard you calling for me just now, so I came over personally to find you.”
“I didn’t expect your strength to have improved so much in this period. I admit I’ve underestimated you all along. What is the purpose of your Federation’s joint attack on the Leaf tribe’s habitat this time? Just to destroy the saplings of the sacred tree?”
Senzo ignored Fang Heng’s playful demeanor, his tone turning increasingly cold. “If anything happens to the sapling of the sacred tree, I guarantee the entire Leaf tribe’s lives that you won’t leave here.”
“Great Elder, there’s no need to get angry. I’m timid, and if scared like this, I might accidentally harm the sapling of the sacred tree. I can’t afford that,” Fang Heng replied, still smiling as he looked at Senzo and the two elders behind him, his eyes showing a hint of greed.
“It’s actually quite simple to come here. Elder Senzo seems to have forgotten something he promised me, so I came specifically to collect it.”
“What are you referring to?”
“Elder Senzo, important people tend to forget things. Allow me to remind you—it’s about the advancement in the inheritance of natural science, something you promised me long ago,” Fang Heng asserted.
Senzo shook his head. “I’ve explained this to you many times. Given the current uncertainties in the Inner World, it’s not that we’re unwilling to honor our promise; it’s simply not the right time.”
“Alright, I won’t press you on that. Let’s change the terms then. How about a branch from the sacred tree? I don’t need the advancement in natural science anymore. I want a branch from the sacred tree.”
Senzo felt strange.
Sacred tree branch?
The item to travel to other dimensional worlds caught Fang Heng’s interest.
“Why do you want a branch from the sacred tree?”
“That’s none of your concern,” Fang Heng stared at Senzo. “I’m not interested in the sapling of the sacred tree, I only want a branch from it. It’s what you owe me. Give me the branch, and I’ll leave immediately. Otherwise…”
Senzo stared intensely at Fang Heng as if trying to see through him.
“Hmph! You’ve destroyed our Temple of Incantation and slaughtered members of the Leaf tribe. Each act is a capital offense! Allowing you to speak here is already showing you great mercy!”
As he spoke, Senzo’s strength suddenly erupted, and his powerful aura almost suppressed Fang Heng.
Fang Heng stared at Senzo.
He had never seen Senzo fight, but he could feel that Senzo’s power was far above Vannes’.
Even the power of the sacred tree of the Leaf tribe had not been fully unleashed.
He had been extremely lucky this time, having found an opportunity to severely injure Yuri, who controlled the magic array of the sacred tree.
Senzo changed tack, toning down his aura, and said, “Fang Heng, there’s no need for such hostility to obtain a branch from the sacred tree. Though I don’t know your reasons, there are other methods now to acquire branches from the sacred tree in bulk, far more than what you could seize from us. Don’t you want to know?”
Fang Heng’s eyes widened as he asked, “What do you mean?”
“You may not be aware, but when our major clans departed from the Inner World initially, they carried some branches from the sacred tree. However, over time, the power of these branches gradually faded, losing their effectiveness. Thus, the remaining branches in the possession of the major clans are not plentiful.”
“If you seek branches from the sacred tree, you could try negotiating with other clans to see if they are willing to part with theirs.”
“As for obtaining the branches of the sacred tree in bulk…”
Senzo observed Fang Heng’s facial expression and continued, “When our clans departed, I recall the Wood tribe carried a batch of books on the cultivation of the sacred tree, including methods to make branches from it.”
Fang Heng quickly understood Senzo’s intentions.
This old man wants to use his strength to deal with the Wood tribe!
“Is that so? So, Elder Senzo, what are you suggesting?”
“As you know, there has always been conflict between our Leaf tribe and the Wood tribe. If you’re willing to cooperate with us, past grievances can be put aside,” Senzo replied.
“That’s a nice offer, but unfortunately, I don’t trust you. You still haven’t fulfilled what you promised me earlier.”
Vannes interjected angrily, “Fang Heng! Don’t be too insolent!”
Fang Heng shrugged and continued, “How about this: you hand over the branches of the sacred tree to me, and I’ll release the three elders Nanu, Renzo, and Dexi. As for dealing with the Wood tribe, we can discuss that later.”
Everyone’s heart sank when they heard this.
As expected, Rudyard’s team met Fang Heng halfway.
“Where’s Rudyard? How is he?”
“Elder Rudyard was pleased to see me and wanted to spar,” Fang Heng remarked, shaking his head. “Unfortunately, accidents happen in combat.”
“Fang Heng!” Vannes’s eyes were red with fury as if he wanted to tear Fang Heng apart then and there.
The others also looked at Fang Heng with resentment in their eyes.
“Vannes, enough,” Senzo’s expression changed slightly. He raised his hand again, quieting the commotion.
“Fang Heng, as I said, we can let bygones be bygones. If you agree to release the three elders, I will temporarily entrust you with the branches of the sacred tree of the Leaf tribe as collateral. How about that?”
Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat. “Are you serious?”
“Of course. Even if our plan to deal with the Wood tribe fails, you will still get the branches of the sacred tree. And if it succeeds, I promise you all the branches we find among the Wood tribe,” Senzo assured him.
Fang Heng stared at Senzo, trying to discern his true intentions.
Senzo had indeed offered a condition that was hard for him to refuse.
“Of course, even if our plan to deal with the Wood tribe fails, you will still get the branches of the sacred tree. And if the plan succeeds, I promise you all the branches we find among the Wood tribe.”
Fang Heng scrutinized Senzo, trying to discern his true intentions.
Senzo had indeed proposed a condition that Fang Heng found hard to refuse.
“This condition I’m giving isn’t just about needing your help, but also that of your Federation behind you. I need both of your assistance together to deal with the Wood tribe. Can you do that?”
“Not difficult,” Fang Heng replied, looking up. “Do you already have a plan? When do we move? I can’t wait too long.”
“In no later than two days.”
“Alright, as you said. I’ll communicate with the Federation, and I’ll release the three elders. However, I must take the branches of the sacred tree with me first.”
“Agreed.”
“Also, I need more vessels of sacrifice.”
“Fang Heng!” Vannes couldn’t hold back, stepping forward with a stern voice. “Don’t push your luck!”
Vannes was almost certain that Fang Heng was behind the disappearance of the vessels of sacrifice last time, seemingly without any reason.
Because of this, they had spent considerable effort recently trying to recover from the loss of the vessels of sacrifice, finally managing to exchange for two bottles from the soul tribe to alleviate the urgent situation.
Senzo waved his hand and addressed Fang Heng, “There’s no rush in these next two days. If we manage to deal with the Wood tribe successfully, I promise you that all the vessels of sacrifice we seize from the Wood tribe will be handed over to you to handle. How does that sound?”
