Chapter 5894: Falling Out
Because he had been staring at the altar all along, neither he nor Lord Hengmu sensed anything amiss.
It was Danbao who first noticed something amiss and hastily shouted to the two of them, “Those statues seem to be moving!”
“What?” This time, he didn’t hesitate. He immediately halted the Life power he had gathered in his hands and dashed outside.
The statues outside had already changed positions.
It seemed they had indeed moved just now.
Seeing this, Lord Hengmu grew anxious and hurriedly urged, “Don’t worry about those statues. We’re almost there. Even if they come to life, it doesn’t matter. As long as we enter before they fully awaken, we’ll be fine!”
The more Lord Hengmu urged, the less anxious Jian Wushuang became.
This only made Lord Hengmu even more agitated.
He quickly beckoned Wu Li over to persuade him.
“Brother Wushuang, now is not the time to be stubborn. If the Divine Wood King and his people arrive later, we’re done for!” Wu Li urged earnestly.
However, Jian Wushuang remained unmoved. He turned his head slowly towards Wu Li and asked, “What has Lord Hengmu promised you?”
This question caught Wu Li off guard.
Lord Hengmu was his master. Back when he was just an ordinary person, he stumbled upon a branch and thus embarked on the path of cultivation.
Everything Lord Hengmu had promised him back then had been fulfilled.
The Wu family had flourished.
He himself had become an immortal .
Later, he established the Wu family and became its patriarch.
Until he reached the level of Universe Master.
His dream had long been realized.
Now, it was just a matter of repaying kindness, and he also wanted to ascend further.
Wu Li didn’t know much about Lord Hengmu’s plan. But ever since he became a Universe Master, Lord Hengmu had often talked to him about the Ten Thousand Willow G.o.dwood.
This matter had taken root in his heart long ago.
Not entering the Ten Thousand Willows would leave a regret in his life.
Now, being asked by Jian Wushuang, he was indeed caught off guard.
“I!” Wu Li glanced at Lord Hengmu, then back at Jian Wushuang, and said firmly, “Of course, it’s to become stronger. Jian Wushuang, we’re not kids anymore. There’s no need to dwell on too much. As long as we enter the Ten Thousand Willows G.o.dwood, my master will definitely not let you down!”
Given the choice between Jian Wushuang and Lord Hengmu, Wu Li would undoubtedly choose the latter.
Jian Wushuang wasn’t surprised to hear such words.
But such words had been spoken since the ordinary days.
Now, Jian Wushuang heard them like air.
If there hadn’t been any changes here, he might have believed some of it.
But now, before entering the Wanliu Divine Tree, such things were happening.
The carvings outside were coming back to life.
With formidable strength.
How could this not worry Jian Wushuang?
What if his Life power didn’t open the pa.s.sage to the Wanliu Divine Tree?
But instead revived these statues?
That would be foolish.
Who knew what these carvings would become after being revived.
On both sides of the altar and above, there were at least seven to eight Tribulation Realm
auras.
If all of them came alive, it would be detrimental to them. Before Divine Wood King arrived, he would meet his end on the spot.
So, he dared not continue to infuse Life power into the altar.
Unless Lord Hengmu could give a reason.
Or explain the current situation.
There was no trace of a pa.s.sage, not even a sign.
Instead, the carvings began to revive.
“Hengmu, if you swear now on your life to take me into the Wanliu Willows and not harm us, I
will continue to infuse Life power. Otherwise, forget about it!” Jian Wushuang felt the
pressure from afar and knew that delaying wouldn’t do any good.
They could only choose to avoid the risk.
So, Lord Hengmu made this vow.
He could tell that Lord Hengmu’s current state was not weak, he was at the Scattered Tribulation stage.
In terms of divine power, he had at least two million.
If he were still an Emperor, he would probably be arbitrarily controlled by the other party.
The oath Wu Li laid down back then was aimed at Wu Li.
He had not made any oath with Lord Hengmu.
Seeing this, Wu Li also turned to look at Lord Hengmu and respectfully said, “Master, why not make an oath first to rea.s.sure Jian Wushuang and the others!”
“You shut up!” Lord Hengmu shouted angrily.
This angry shout startled Wu Li.
He didn’t know why Lord Hengmu was so angry.
“It’s all because of you, you troublemaker. You insisted on helping Jian Wushuang through his tribulation. If he hadn’t succeeded, would I still need to beg you like this?” Lord Hengmu no longer concealed his anger, his figure suddenly changed, his originally green tree-like body turned into a dark red tree bark armor.
His aura kept rising, and this aura was no longer the power of Life, but a terrifying power of
destruction.
After seeing this scene, Wu Li found it unbelievable.
The difference between him and his previous master was too great.
For a moment, he couldn’t accept it at all.
“It’s finally revealed your true colors. You’re unwilling to make two simple oaths. I’m afraid you never intended to take us into Wanliu, and this place isn’t the pa.s.sage to Wanliu, is it?”
Jian Wushuang sneered.
Moreover, Lord Hengmu didn’t even discuss it, he just turned hostile directly, probably also eyeing his attention and the treasures inside Danbao’s body.
Thinking of Wu Li’s confession in front of the Elder Blu, Jian Wushuang felt disgusted.
Wu Li hesitated and leaned towards Jian Wushuang, but all he received was cold eyes.
Blu and Danbao must believe in Jian Wushuang.
Lord Hengmu sneered and said, “I originally wanted to use you again, but I didn’t expect you
to figure it out so quickly. Then I’ll just send you on your way!”
“Such arrogance!” Blu stepped forward immediately, his aura surged, and his two million
divine powers erupted directly.
Jian Wushuang also directly displayed the Super Eternal Ancient Transformation, ready to
make a move at any time.
The plan of the Wanliu Divine Tree became a joke from now on.
“Hengmu, do you think that reviving a few small fries will allow you to control us?”
He drew out the Wanjie Sword, and the terrifying power of the Starry Sky soared suddenly.
This power made everyone s.h.i.+ver with fear.
“Oh really?” Lord Hengmu waved his hand and shouted angrily, “Zuo Yehui!”
Boom!
The mountain began to shake.
Jian Wushuang turned his head to look at the carving on the left side of the altar.
The dark green stone sh.e.l.l on the carving began to fall off, and a terrifying savage beast began
to revive.
“Not good, retreat!” Jian Wushuang grabbed Danbao and Blu and rushed out of the mountain.
With a flash, they arrived above the valley.
At this moment, Divine Wood King and others also arrived.
Seeing Jian Wushuang and the others fleeing, Divine Wood King was not surprised, he just
said indifferently, “Where do you think you’re escaping to?”
Jian Wushuang also saw Divine Wood King and the others.
