Chapter 2310 Stealing in
In the passage, two guards of the Leaf tribe suddenly spotted a dark figure ahead, causing them to tense up and become alert, eager to discern the newcomer in the dark passage.
It was strange; their vision was remarkably keen, yet the person seemed hidden in the darkness, making their features indiscernible.
“Stop!”
He heard a ‘pu’ sound near his ear.
Turning his head, he saw his companion beside him as if struck heavily. Blood sprayed from his mouth, his face turned as pale as a sheet of paper, and his body slowly collapsed against the wall.
What was going on?!
Not good, it was that person!
The guard turned his head again.
As he saw the figure of Fang Heng, a sense of dread gripped the guard. He raised his hand and two natural arrows were swiftly aimed towards Fang Heng.
It was Fang Heng!
However, his attack this time was already too slow.
In the brief moment of his astonishment, Fang Heng closed the distance rapidly.
They were no more than five meters apart!
Bang!
The intense lifeblood power exploded behind Fang Heng, forming a massive blood screen.
The guard of the Leaf tribe saw his released natural arrow boom against the blood screen, emitting a soft sound before completely dissolving!
He watched helplessly as the blood screen enveloped him, unable to dodge it in time.
“Gulp, gulp, gulp…”
In the blink of an eye, the blood screen instantly enveloped the guard of the Leaf tribe, shrouding and devouring him until wisps of grey smoke emerged from the blood blob.
Moments later, the blood condensed and reformed behind Fang Heng into the shape of a short sword.
“I hope I wasn’t discovered…”
Having disposed of the two guards from the Leaf tribe, Fang Heng muttered quietly to himself. He took a few steps forward, his gaze fixed on the entrance to a large palace ahead.
“Let’s go inside.”
Fang Heng stepped into the secondary space projection.
Returning to the sacred tree cultivation site once again, Fang Heng did not immediately leave the secondary space projection. Instead, he cautiously observed his surroundings.
Yuri!
At first glance, Fang Heng saw Elder Yuri, the honored elder of the Leaf tribe, sitting in front of the sacred tree, manipulating a magic array. Around him were more than ten elite members of the Leaf tribe.
In the center of the magic array, a sapling of the sacred tree, standing about a meter tall, continuously emitted rings of radiance.
Mm…
There didn’t seem to be any other guard.
Currently, the entire habitat of the Leaf tribe is in a state of extreme crisis.
All available Leaf tribe personnel that could be dispatched have already gone to provide external support.
Yuri never anticipated that Fang Heng would dare to infiltrate the sacred tree cultivation domain so boldly!
Similarly, in their intense focus on controlling the strength of the sacred tree sapling, Yuri and his group did not detect faint spatial ripples from outside.
Fang Heng patiently observed every corner of the hall.
The last time he was here, he had quietly observed.
Was the sacrificial jar taken out from the warehouse behind?
Let’s go take a look!
Fang Heng maintained his secondary space projection and cautiously navigated around Elder Yuri and his group of over ten people in the central hall. He headed towards the rear of the hall where the internal warehouse was located.
Soon, he entered the internal warehouse behind the main hall.
Exiting the secondary space projection, Fang Heng conducted a meticulous search.
He found it.
The vessel of sacrifice!
In the corner of the warehouse, there were two vessels of sacrifice.
Apart from these, the rest were ordinary items used for sacred tree cultivation rituals, most of which did not provide any attribute bonuses.
There were one or two items, however, that could enhance the success rate of magic arrays.
Not very useful.
Fang Heng didn’t have time to inspect thoroughly. Following the principle of taking everything that might be useful, he hastily stuffed the items into his backpack.
After rummaging through the warehouse extensively, Fang Heng made a final check to ensure nothing was missed before leaving.
Unfortunately, he didn’t find the sacred tree branch or leaf.
Back in the hall, Fang Heng concealed himself near the entrance of the warehouse, observing Elder Yuri and his group from a distance.
It was strange.
The sacred tree branch and leaf were not hidden in the warehouse. Where could they have been hidden?
His primary purpose in coming here was to find the sacred tree branch and leaf. After finally navigating to the sacred tree cultivation site, all he found were two vessels of sacrifice.
It was quite disappointing.
Otherwise…
Fang Heng’s gaze shifted toward the sapling of the sacred tree in the center of the magic array.
Since he was already here, why not just find a way to directly take away the Leaf tribe’s sacred tree sapling?!
This thing could also be absorbed by Abe Akaya.
And the effects would be remarkable!
But, was this too risky of a move?
Not to mention Elder Yuri’s formidable strength in guarding the sacred tree sapling.
Fang Heng would also need to safely escort the sacred tree sapling away.
It seemed too difficult.
Fang Heng felt hesitant.
Should he just give up on the idea?
But as soon as this thought arose, it hung over his mind like a tempting devil’s lure, impossible to shake off.
“I’ll do it!”
Might as well go all in!
Worst case, if he failed, he could always run!
“Whoosh!”
Fang Heng immediately made a decision, and the alchemy array in his right eye rapidly rotated.
Elder Yuri’s perception abilities were not weak, but currently influenced by external combat ripples and his intense focus on controlling the magic array for the sacred tree sapling, he did not notice any traces of spatial fluctuations.
Huh?
The first to notice something amiss was one of the Leaf tribe guards controlling the magic array for the sacred tree sapling.
For some reason, the magic array suddenly began accelerating uncontrollably.
Realizing that something was amiss, everyone turned to look at Elder Yuri.
“Is there a problem with the magic array?”
Yuri also noticed the anomaly in the flow of the magic array. Curious and concerned, he allocated a portion of his mental strength to investigate.
What was going on?
Why was the magic array accelerating uncontrollably?
It didn’t seem like external influence causing this, but rather the magic array accelerating autonomously.
Why now of all times?
Yuri couldn’t dwell on it. He focused his mind, using his divine mental strength to suppress the anomaly in the magic array.
After a moment of suppression, the magic array’s condition improved slightly.
But as soon as Yuri relaxed his mental suppression, the magic array started accelerating rapidly again.
No, this isn’t right! Something’s wrong!
Suddenly, Yuri’s eyebrows furrowed. He felt a sharp, intense impact on his spirit, instantly disrupting his concentration.
What!
“Puff!!
In the brief moment Yuri lost focus, when he snapped back to his senses, he saw the elite Leaf tribe members around him who were controlling the magic array all spitting blood and being thrown backward!
Almost simultaneously, Yuri felt a cold wind strike him from behind.
“Boom!”
At this critical moment, Yuri gathered natural energy which suddenly burst forth in visible waves of green-blue ripple expanding outward from him!
“Bang!”
His fist squarely collided with the burst of spiritual energy from Yuri, producing a resounding sonic boom!
Fang Heng’s fist struck out, completely dispersing the oncoming spiritual energy head-on, causing a resounding boom. Simultaneously, he was blasted backward.
At the same time, the blood-colored short sword on Fang Heng’s back burst open, swiftly condensing into more than ten sharp spikes, thrusting directly toward Yuri!
