The crazy uncle-master went on a killing spree, and the whole sect was burned to death!

Chapter 587 Searching for the Bodhi Tree

Song Wanning took out the pill and handed it to him.

"Thank you."

Wu Qingfeng thanked him weakly, but despite his injuries, he looked very relaxed.

From now on, he would no longer be Wu Qingfeng of the Medicine King Sect, but Wu Qingfeng the rogue cultivator.

But having escaped Mu Zixu's control, he felt as if he had been reborn.

He took the medicine and gradually recovered.

Song Wanning thanked Liu Xingzhi and Luo Hantian, and then returned to the Ancient Cold Sect with Wu Qingfeng.

She didn't rush to leave, but instead took a few more pills to avoid any hidden ailments.

After settling down in the Ancient Cold Sect, Liu Lanyi learned that Song Wanning had returned, so she went with Leng Qingzhu to visit her.

Upon learning that the trip had gone very smoothly, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wan Ning, are you still going back to the demon clan?"

Liu Lanyi thought that Song Wanning had left behind the fox demon and the snake, and realized that she would definitely go back.

"I won't go back for now; I'll go find the Bodhi tree first."

Song Wanning shook her head.

With her current abilities, she is not capable of killing Gong Ye, so there is little point in going.

It would be better to improve our strength first.

"Okay, remember to call us if you need any help."

"Although our cultivation is a bit lacking, we definitely won't hold you back."

Liu Lanyi made a joke with a smile, and everyone burst into laughter.

With Liu Lanyi around, Leng Qingzhu became much more cheerful and smiled more often.

Song Wanning was delighted and stayed with the two of them for a few more days before leaving the sect with Wu Qingfeng.

Wu Qingfeng was very honest and obediently followed behind Song Wanning without any intention of resisting.

But he always had a worry in his heart, fearing that Song Wanning would kill him after finding the Bodhi tree.

But... he has no choice now.

Therefore, they had no choice but to obediently lead Song Wanning to the location of the Bodhi tree.

The journey went smoothly, and after a month and a half, the two finally arrived at a lake.

Because Wu Qingfeng had been here before, he clearly remembered the route, but he was still stunned when he saw the lake in front of him.

It's been a long time since I last came here, and the environment has changed somewhat.

At first, the lake here was just a small pond. Not far across the pond was where the Bodhi tree was found.

But now it seems that the Bodhi tree may have been submerged by the lake?

Wu Qingfeng's face was rather ugly. He had made a sure thing that there was a Bodhi tree here, but now this whole mess was just pushing him to his death.

If Song Wanning thought he was lying to her, he would have no way to defend himself.

"Senior Song, this used to be a pond, but now it has somehow turned into a large lake."

"But I'm not lying, the Bodhi tree used to be nearby!!"

He hurriedly explained to Song Wanning, while observing her expression, preparing to resist at any moment.

Even knowing that death was the only outcome, he couldn't just sit idly by and wait to die.

Upon hearing this, Song Wanning glanced at Wu Qingfeng indifferently, naturally knowing what he was thinking.

Since Wu Qingfeng was not lying, the sudden change in the current environment must mean that something unexpected has happened.

Song Wanning frowned and released the little ones to explore the surrounding area together.

Seeing this, Wu Qingfeng also began searching the vicinity, even penetrating his divine sense into the lake.

Song Wanning focused her spiritual sense on the location described by Wu Qingfeng, but the bottom of the lake only had fish and shrimp swimming freely and water plants swaying in the wind; there was no trace of the Bodhi tree at all.

They flew even further afield, searching the area, but still couldn't find the Bodhi tree. "Impossible, it was still there when we came before!"

Wu Qingfeng was somewhat anxious. He had checked everywhere, but there was no trace of the Bodhi tree. It was as if it had vanished into thin air.

But he really wasn't lying.

"Could it be that someone else discovered the Bodhi tree and uprooted it?"

The thought of this possibility made Wu Qingfeng's heart tighten, and he looked at Song Wanning's face again.

He never imagined that one day he would become so pathetic.

A timid and submissive demeanor.

Song Wanning's face darkened again; she was in a very bad mood.

The Bodhi tree is a priceless treasure!

Did someone beat them to it?

She frowned, but still refused to give up, and decided to keep looking.

"Let's try again, maybe we missed something!"

After saying that, she once again spread out her divine sense, enveloping the entire lake.

Wu Qingfeng's heart was in his throat. He searched with extra care, not daring to miss any place.

Several hours later, Song Wanning, who had been somewhat discouraged, suddenly brightened up.

"wrong!!"

She suddenly raised her head and looked at Wu Qingfeng.

"Have you noticed that the fish and shrimp in this lake keep repeating the same patterns?"

"Even the swaying of the aquatic plants seems to contain some indescribable rhythm..."

It was as if every movement was meticulously designed.

"what?"

Wu Qingfeng was taken aback upon hearing this, and immediately probed the lake with his divine sense.

Soon, he realized that the scene before him was indeed very similar to the scene a few hours earlier.

If Song Wanning hadn't mentioned it, he really wouldn't have noticed, because who would have thought that the fish and shrimp here would repeat at intervals of time?
"Yes, Senior Song, you're right, these fish and shrimp are all fake!!"

"No, I should say that the lake in front of us might even be fake!!"

Wu Qingfeng was immediately excited. If the Bodhi tree was still there, he could save his life!
"Hmm, I also suspect this is an illusion."

Song Wanning nodded. She even suspected that the pond Wu Qingfeng had seen before was an illusion.

So, who created this illusion?
Was it a certain monk who deliberately wanted to obscure the Bodhi tree?

Or... the Bodhi tree itself?

In the Golden Dragon's inherited memories, the Bodhi tree can also develop sentience and even take human form, existing as a spiritual being.

Just like plants and trees that cultivate themselves into spirits and become demon cultivators, the Bodhi tree, due to its different nature, develops a higher level of intelligence after it grows up.

If that's true, then this Bodhi tree is truly remarkable!

Song Wanning felt a surge of interest, her eyes filled with the excitement of the challenge.

Since that's the case, let her see what it is. It almost fooled her eyes.

So next, she and Wu Qingfeng began to try to break through the illusion in front of them.

Song Wanning had tried to remove the hairpin from the restriction, but nothing changed, so it seemed that there was no restriction here.

So, what is it?

Song Wanning frowned, completely absorbed in her research.

Her consciousness remained focused on the fish, shrimp, and aquatic plants, carefully observing their swimming paths and frequencies.

She didn't even miss a single movement; everything was clearly etched into her mind.
