The Days of Being Forced to Become the Savior of a Cultivation Civilization

Qian Xintong: "? What do you mean? You don't care whether I live or die?"

Zhiyue: "No, no, no, we need to deal with some more important matters for now..."

Zhiyue repeated the village chief's words and then explained his plans.

Qian Xintong revealed an expression of sudden enlightenment:

"Oh~ let me repeat, it means I'm going to pretend to let my guard down, slip into a secluded corner, and give that guy the opportunity to impersonate me, so you can launch a surprise attack on them?"

Zhiyue nodded:

That's it.

Qian Xintong: "This plan is really good... my foot! What if this guy just takes him out on me?"

Qian Xintong then gestured wildly and made a throat-slitting motion.

Zhiyue: "Don't worry, I've already spoken to the village chief."

He pulled a branch from his pocket:

"Here, carry this with you. It's a branch from the giant tree. The village chief said it has protective abilities and can even lock away life force."

Qian Xintong: "That powerful? I doubt it can lock me down. Okay... I guess, though I still don't think it's that reliable."

-

"I suspect your confidence stems from their objective itself. That tree is probably no ordinary Yara."

"Fascula said. She then coughed twice, her cheeks slightly flushed:"

"Ahem, well, it's you two..."

"It's an act!"

Zhi Yue swiftly denied the other party's conjecture, stood up, and clapped his hands:

"Alright, let me summarize. All the Coopers in the Yara territory, except for you, have been corrupted by the strange power, fallen into hatred, and most have lost their minds. As the leader of the tribe, you have lost your connection with them, which often means death."

He glanced at Yingzi, who nodded and said:

"It's basically confirmed; it's the monster I was talking about."

Zhiyue continued:

"That power has the ability to manipulate minds and destroy souls. Can I assume they've all become empty shells? I mean, what should we do with them?"

Zhiyue stared intently at Fasculla's face, who fell silent. After a difficult struggle, she made up her mind and gave a bitter smile:

"If I have the chance, I hope to save the children. If not, let them carry this evil power to the world of the dead."

Kunling nodded, turned around, and suddenly drew his short sword, pressing it against Fascula's forehead:

"Then how can I be sure you haven't been corrupted?"

Fasculla was taken aback, then smiled slightly:

"You're really composed; you seem very reliable."

She removed a necklace from her neck, from which hung a regular octahedral pendant:

"This necklace, named Eight-Sided Exquisite, was given to me by a man in black robes. It is what protected my divine consciousness from being corrupted."

"The man in black robes..."

Zhiyue thought of the mysterious person who had saved Hongcun. He shook his head and tentatively touched the pendant. He felt a warm current flowing through his consciousness, a warm and comfortable sensation.

But he withdrew his hand and nodded:

"Okay, I believe you."

Zhiyue looked at her and smiled:

"Alright guys, let's get started."

"Xiao Yue, what's our plan?"

Old Wang, who has been seeing for a long time, asked. Everyone was already itching for a fight.

Zhiyue smiled slightly:

"Your mission is to lure the enemy out."

While everyone was exchanging ideas in the Boundless Starry Sky, a battle broke out in Rainbow Village.

-

"Alright, the villagers have all evacuated, it's time for me to prepare for battle."

In the blink of an eye, a towering tree shrank into an adult man. The man had delicate features, wore a light green and white robe, and had ribbons hanging from his hair. He had a scholarly air about him, just like his original form. He gave people a sense of calm and reliability, and his body was filled with a fresh fragrance.

Qian Xintong's mouth dropped open, her mind in complete disarray; the current situation was far beyond her comprehension.

"Aren't there any Star Messengers here? How did they transform into human form?"

In her understanding, the transformation of a Yuanzhu into human form is no easy task. It requires an extremely high level of control over the physical body and is something that someone who is not even a Star Envoy could not possibly accomplish.

Seeing her expression, Viminali explained:

"Didn't I just say that many Yuan Beast and Yuan Plant races, including us, have an innate talent for human transformation, although I don't know why either?"

Meanwhile, the Cooper troops in the distance were all taken aback:

"Commander, I think there's something wrong with my eyes."

One of the elite soldiers rubbed his eyes, puzzled. Xiao Feng blinked and said:

No, you probably don't.

"What should we do then? We can't let him get away, can we?"

After a moment's thought, Xiao Feng gave the order:

"It's alright, let's continue in the original direction. Even if he gets away, we'll chase him to the ends of the earth and slaughter the Yara tribe without leaving a single survivor!"

-

With a thunderous roar, Fasculla's thousand-strong army arrived at the gates of Rainbow Village. The village was eerily silent.

The army halted a short distance from the entrance, led by a one-armed Cooper. A chair stood at the village entrance, upon which sat a scholar in a light green and white robe, silently turning the pages of a book, seemingly oblivious to their presence.

Xiao Feng frowned slightly:

"Hey, can you hear me?"

"Sure, what's up? Who are you looking for?"

The scholar closed his book, stood up, and gave him a gentle smile. Xiao Feng's expression turned strange, and he was momentarily speechless.

"Where's that tree in your village?"

"The tree? The tree is still here."

Xiao Feng frowned, but didn't ask any further questions:

"Where is that person?"

"Everyone's gone."

"Where did you go?"

"They were afraid of war, so they went to seek refuge."

Xiao Feng chuckled lightly:

"Oh, the news got out, huh? I knew that girl wasn't being honest. Oh well, it doesn't matter."

Knowing there was going to be war, why didn't you seek refuge there? Weren't you afraid of dying?

The scholar chuckled:

"If I leave, won't you have made a wasted trip?"

Xiao Feng's expression changed drastically, and he quickly retreated, but he still couldn't react in time. A large number of tree roots coiled around him like dragons, binding Xiao Feng tightly and binding him to the spot. The soldiers in the front row were also captured and could not move an inch.

However, Xiao Feng roared, his muscles bulging, and he bit off the root at his shoulder, freeing his only arm. With a fierce swing of his claws, he severed all the obstacles in front of him. The claws were like three parallel blades, their cold light chilling.

The scholar was none other than Viminali, who had caught the enemy off guard. But he hadn't expected his opponent to be so powerful.

"What are you standing there for? He's Verminalli! Kill him!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers all charged forward. Viminali raised an eyebrow:

"Wow, you're quite well-informed."

He never stopped attacking, constantly manipulating his roots to fly through the air, either to protect himself or to strike his enemies. The swift blade, however, was like a ferocious beast, constantly wielding its sharp claws to sever all the roots.

Viminali frowned:

"You're tough and thick-skinned; it seems physical attacks won't be enough to defeat you."

With a wave of his hand, Viminali unleashed an invisible force that surged forward. Seeing this, Xiao Feng became alert and immediately activated his Reverse Yuan Vision. He saw a burst of green gas shooting towards the army.

Xiao Feng quickly stepped aside, but the soldiers behind him weren't so lucky. A large number of soldiers inhaled the gas, paused, and then revealed expressions of intoxication.

This was eucalyptus poison, a method the Yara people were proud of. Even the Coopers, who regularly drank eucalyptus wine, could hardly withstand this concentration of toxin. After a brief moment of intoxication, their faces changed drastically, they began foaming at the mouth, their eyes rolled back, and they collapsed to the ground one by one. Only a few elite soldiers with higher endurance remained relatively conscious for the time being.

In fact, most warriors have long lost their reason and can only act based on hatred and instinct, or the orders of the strong. Now, they are unable to act no matter what.

Xiao Feng frowned, his expression serious.

"As expected of Viminali, his strength is truly formidable."

Viminari smiled slightly:

"It might not be too late to retreat now."

Xiao Feng grinned:

"But I've gained new power, so I might just be able to fight you!"
