Chapter 1750 - 209: Failed Plot Backfires
After tying up Lin Yifan, the vine began to extend sharp roots, piercing into Lin Yifan's flesh to draw his blood.
Lin Yifan hadn't expected the vine that entangled him to be a Bloodsucking Vine.
The Bloodsucking Vine lives on absorbing blood, whether from spirit beasts or human cultivators; they are both its food.
Bloodsucking Vines also have realms, but the realms of these vines are not high, so Lin Yifan can use his current maximum brute force to shake off these pesky vines.
"Ah!!!"
He gritted his teeth, mustering all his strength, and forcefully shattered the Bloodsucking Vines wrapped around him.
"Piu! Piu! Piu!"
In the next moment, countless Bloodsucking Vines flew in all directions, completely becoming broken branches and debris.
However, these broken branches and debris still have life, and could later become independent entities, growing into standalone Bloodsucking Vines. Therefore, the Bloodsucking Vine is also known as the Undying Vine, its vitality almost rivaling that of the Immortal Holy Tree. However, the Immortal Holy Tree is much stronger, for it can revive from a single drop of blood, something not everyone can achieve.
Lin Yifan regained his freedom, but was immediately attacked by more Bloodsucking Vines.
Learning from the previous lesson, he immediately cast the "Shadow Clone Technique," creating shadows to dodge attacks and escape the world of vines.
After leaving this grove of vines, he took out the Green Compass to pursue the three spiritual trees that had fled.
The three spiritual trees hadn't gone far, so the Green Compass could still sense their presence.
Judging from the direction pointed by the Green Compass, the three spiritual trees fled in the same direction. Lin Yifan guessed they were traveling together, which saved him a lot of trouble in chasing them.
No time to lose, he quickly used the Qinggong movement technique "Swift as a Waterfall" to pursue the fleeing three spiritual trees.
The three spiritual trees, over a kilometer away, felt delighted.
From now on, they would become free beings in the world, no longer bullied or needing to cater to others.
"Enlightenment Tree, where do you plan to wander?"
"Wherever is fun, I'll wander," answered the Enlightenment Tree, then asked, "And you all?"
"Me? I also want to wander fun places," replied the Immortal Holy Tree.
"I want to go home to see my parents, but before that, I'll stick with you," said the little Sun Fruit Tree.
Clearly, the three had grown close and didn't want to part ways, so they planned to journey together. Traveling together provides strength in numbers, and in case of danger, they could look out for each other, greatly reducing the risk of being captured again.
The three spiritual trees chatted happily, completely unaware they were stepping into a crisis.
When they sensed a suspicious presence quickly approaching from behind, it was already too late.
They hurriedly sought someplace to hide, not daring to move freely.
Lin Yifan, holding the Green Compass, arrived at the spot where the three spiritual trees had just disappeared.
The presence vanished here, so he deduced the three spiritual trees were nearby and began digging deep to search.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh!"
The sound of rustling came from the nearby foliage, making the three spiritual trees tremble in fear, terrified of being discovered by Lin Yifan.
Because if Lin Yifan found them, they might never escape from the Seven-Colored Immortal Ring.
"Snap! Snap!"
Stepping on dried branches and leaves, Lin Yifan slowly approached the three spiritual trees.
When he pushed aside a patch of tall grass, he only discovered more dried branches and leaves.
The dry branches and leaves seemed ordinary, so he paid no mind and turned to leave.
However, as he took a step, he suddenly felt something amiss.
Amidst those dried branches and leaves, he recognized the familiar pattern of a leaf he knew well; after thinking for a moment, he realized it was the Sun Fruit Tree's leaf.
The Sun Fruit Tree's leaves rarely wither, so he wasn't sure if it was intentionally done by the Sun Fruit Tree or if it had naturally withered.
Regardless, the Sun Fruit Tree was surely here, perhaps even hiding all three spiritual trees, so he abruptly turned around, revealing a sinister smile.
The three spiritual trees, who had been feeling secretly fortunate, instantly became anxious when Lin Yifan turned back.
They were very afraid of being discovered by Lin Yifan, so they were prepared to strike at a moment's notice.
With a swoosh, Lin Yifan again pushed aside the tall grass, and cleared the dried branches and leaves on the ground.
As he reached out his hand, the Enlightenment Tree hiding in a small hole couldn't hold back any longer and immediately unleashed the Power of the Great Dao to attack him.
Lin Yifan was correct in his suspicions; the three spiritual trees were indeed hiding there.
However, because the Enlightenment Tree's realm was very high, the Power of the Great Dao was strong. His soul suffered a tremendous attack, causing unbearable pain.
With everything needing to be quick, he struggled to hold on while reaching out to pull the three spiritual trees out from the small hole.
But as he reached into the small hole, he was attacked by the Five-Flavor True Fire and green power.
Fortunately, since the Sun Fruit Tree and Immortal Holy Tree's realms were lower than his, the attacks did not cause him much harm.
Swiftly, he grabbed the three spiritual trees with one hand and unceremoniously yanked them out.
"Ah!!! Brother Yifan! We were wrong! We were wrong! Please spare us! Please spare us!"
The three spiritual trees, like kittens lifted up, were utterly frantic, extremely frightened, and terrified.
"Now you know you were wrong? Why weren't you this obedient earlier?" Lin Yifan asked through gritted teeth.
"Earlier we were scared without anyone to save Brother Yifan, so we went to get help," the three spiritual trees argued.
"Still trying to argue? Just stay obediently in the Immortal Ring then."
"No! Brother Yifan! Spare us! Spare…"
Before they could finish, Lin Yifan stuffed them into the Seven-Colored Immortal Ring.
Seeing the three spiritual trees' disheveled entrance, the Frost Tree was curious about what happened to them, so it approached and asked, "What happened to you? Why do you all look so dejected, as if your world ended?"
"Ah! Don't ask, we might be trapped here forever, boo hoo! boo hoo!"
The three spiritual trees couldn't hold back their tears and sobbed heartily.
Without needing the other to elaborate, the Frost Tree already guessed what happened; the three spiritual trees were definitely discovered while escaping and got caught.
Curious, the Frost Tree wondered, since the three trees had one specialized in attacking souls, why they still got captured, and asked, "Don't you have the Enlightenment Tree? How did you end up captured?"
"That kid's soul has become very strong after years of cultivation, far surpassing cultivators of the same realm, so my Power of the Great Dao only inflicted slight harm and couldn't subdue him," explained the Enlightenment Tree.
"Sigh! Why escape without a foolproof plan?" the Frost Tree couldn't help but mock.
If it were in their place, it would definitely not be so foolish.
