Chapter 524: Farewell to the Dark Forest Tree Spirit Ancesto
rs, but they found nothing. I hope you can help investigate what happened to the little demon. Would you be willing”A system prompt sounded in Lu Kong's mind."Ding, mission detected: Investigate the w..."Oh Master Lu Kong, do tell us more" Hei Yin revealed an interested expression.
But what puzzled Lu Kong was that although the city lord seemed warm and polite, he actually appeared aloof and cold.
If it happened before, Lu Kong didn't feel it.
But now, Lu Kong's soul strength is extremely powerful. Although it doesn't show on the faceplate, in fact, both his ability to perceive danger and his ability to perceive other people's emotions have greatly improved.
For a period of time, Lu Kong could confirm that his own perception was rarely wrong.
This means that this Black Silver City Lord doesn't seem too welcoming of his arrival.
Even when Lu Kong spoke about destroying two Pale Congregation outposts, Lu Kong could even sense a hint of malice in his words.
Although this malicious intent was deeply concealed, Lu Kong still faintly sensed it.
But when Lu Kong said he would help Wu Yuang deal with the Pale Sect's base, this Black Silver City Lord seemed surprised, but deep down, he was very resistant.
This is a problem.
In addition to the black silver city lord's lingering demonic aura, Lu Kong suddenly felt that perhaps there were other reasons behind the recent incident with the dark forest tree people.
This mayor is clearly problematic.
Lu Kong recounted silently all his deeds in Xinghe City and Heishi City before.
The Black Silver City Lord listened silently, his face occasionally revealing a look of surprise.
Apparently, he was taken aback by the power displayed by land and air.
To destroy such a huge tribe single-handedly, that's quite terrifying power.
In the entire Hunte's Beginner Continent, it would be difficult to find an opponent.
He smiled and said, "So that's how it is. So Master Lu intends to repeat the old trick, using a large number of corpses to attract the disciples of the Pale Church, and then follow the vine to find their stronghold"
Lu Kong nodded and smiled, "That's exactly what I was thinking."
The Black Silver City Lord immediately laughed and said, “No problem! There is indeed a rather troublesome Fire Rain Raven tribe near Wu Yuan City. If Master Lu Kong could help us deal with the Fire Feather Ravens, it would be a good thing for us as well.”
The Black Silver City Lord's agreement was so readily given, which made Lu Kong feel even more that something was off about this fellow.
After all, logically speaking, as the main city of the Black Wood Star Tiger people players and their lord, Wu Yuancheng should have at least considered the interests of the Black Wood Star Tiger people.
The previous Lord Ryan would at least hesitate and weigh the pros and cons before taking Lu Kong's advice.
But the Black Silver City Lord didn't seem to have thought about this issue at all.
But for land and air, it doesn't matter anyway, as long as they get the lord's permission.
Instead, this might actually make it easier for him.
After getting the Fire Feather Raven's location from the Black Silver City Lord, Lu Kong didn't receive any mission prompts.
He still didn't care. After saying goodbye to the Silver City Lord, he left the Lord's office.
Lu Kong left the Hall of Governance, mounted his beloved silver flame dragon Yin Yan, and set off for the territory of the Huo Yu Ya people.
Just as he had left Wu Yuancheng for not even a moment, on the side of the forest tree trunks, a figure suddenly appeared.
"Mr. Lu Kong, please wait a moment!"
Lu Kong was startled and turned his head to look. He discovered that the visitor was actually the ancestor of the Dark Forest Tree People!
The Dark Forest Treant ancestor, Feng Ye, was a high-level Saint Spirit at the peak of the fourth rank.
Unlike when they last met outside the Shining Holy Site, Feng Ye this time appeared much withered. Their body was noticeably thinner than before, with patches of dark green on their skin and many of the leaves on their head were dried and decaying, a stark contrast to their previous appearance.
Liukong didn't expect Feng Ye to be here.
He raised an eyebrow, looked at Feng Ye, and smiled: "So it's Senior Feng Ye. I wonder what brings you here"
Feng Ye was a little surprised by Lu Kong's calm attitude.
From Feng Ye's perspective, Lu Kong entering Wu Yuancheng was likely due to him learning about rumors surrounding their Dark Forest Tree People clan.
Logically, Feng Ye should now be considered the betrayer who brought demons into Wu Yuangong. Lu Kong shouldn't give him a good face, right
But, the situation is extremely urgent now. He wants revenge, wants to save Wu Yuánchéng, and perhaps even possibly the entire Orion Newbie Continent's main cities. He needs to find someone to help him.
Originally, Feng Ye planned to go to Xinghe City to find Lu Kong.
After all, Lu Kong is a player, and with his immense personal strength, he wields considerable influence throughout the entire Orion Novice Continent.
Asking him for help is obviously the most stable option.
Of course, there's also the matter of his current situation, which makes it hard for anyone to believe he's innocent.
His intuition told him that Lu Kong might believe it.
But Feng Ye hadn't recovered from his injuries yet, and through Wu Yuancheng's inside and outside connections, he learned that Lu Kong had entered Wu Yuancheng.
This also left Feng Ye no time to rest, so he hid outside Wu Yuan City, waiting for Lu Kong to appear.
Originally, Feng Ye thought he would have to wait outside for a long time, but unexpectedly, Lu Kong came out so quickly.
After Feng Ye had successfully distanced himself from Wu Yuancheng, he immediately appeared to greet them.
He had even prepared himself for a confrontation with Lu Kong, but the situation seemed to be much better than Feng Ye had imagined.
He was merely a little surprised by Lu Kong's attitude, and then immediately said: "Mr. Lu Kong, this is not a place to talk. Could you please follow me away from Wu Yuancheng Let's have a good chat."
Lu Kong glanced at Feng Ye and nodded slightly. "Let's go."
Feng Ye let out a sigh of relief, then hurriedly brought up Lu Kong and headed in the direction away from Wu Yuancheng.
Soon, Feng Ye and Lu Kong arrived at a spacious valley. The valley was covered with numerous trees, and there weren't many monsters around. It seemed very peaceful.
Coming to an open space, Feng Ye stopped and gave Lu Kong a somewhat apologetic smile: "Lu Kong, I didn't expect us to meet under such circumstances. You must have also heard the rumors about our Dark Forest Tree people clan in Wu Yuan City, right"
Lu Kong nodded and said plainly, “Well, I heard that your Darkwood Tree Folk clan colluded with the Cinderclaws, bringing them into Wu Yuan City. You were discovered.”
"This is all nonsense! It's slander!" As soon as he said this, Feng Ye's expression lost control and became furious and ferocious.
He spoke, "Our Darkwood Treefolk have never betrayed the universe, never allied with demons! Our Darkwood Treefolk discovered something extremely terrifying, which is why we are experiencing this misfortune! It was the damned Silver City Lord and several powerful figures from Wu Yuancheng who truly betrayed Wu Yuancheng and the entire universe! There are also some other powerful beings who were deceived and became pawns in someone else's game! Lord Lu Kong, you must believe us!"
"I believe in you."
Feng Ye had originally planned to explain the situation first and let Lu Kong investigate, but unexpectedly, Lu Kong directly said he believed them.
This left Feng Ye speechless.
He widened his eyes and stared at Lu Kong: “You… You said you believe us Really”
Lu Kong smiled and nodded. "At the very least, compared to Black Silver, you're more believable."
The demonic aura on Feng Ye wasn't even as heavy as Hei Yin's.
If the Dark Forest Treefolk truly betrayed Wu Yuancheng and colluded with demons, then no matter what, as the ancestor of the Dark Forest Treefolk, his demonic energy should be very thick.
But the demonic energy on him seemed to emanate more from his wounds.
This is completely different from black and silver.
Lu Kong asked curiously, "What terrible thing did you discover that would lead to such targeting"ne yet." Wang Bing said slowly.Lin Yingying and Liu Qiang also shook their heads, saying they had never encountered it.Lin Yingying giggled and said, “I’ll tell the players in charge of handling this...
