The white elephant was very angry. He swung his long trunk. âLet go of His Majesty!â
Xue Ling flew so high that the elephantâs trunk could not touch him.
He said calmly, âReturn to the Divine Wood City. When my companions leave the forest, Iâll let your beast king go.â
âYouâre despicable!â
Xue Lingâs smile was dazzling. âThank you for the compliment.â
Seeing this scene, Huanhuan couldnât help but sigh in her heart. Xue Lingâs ability to be domineering was really cool. He could trigger Bi Huan with just a few words.
âHere, Iâll give you a thumbs up!â
Xuan Wei shouted at Bai Di, âBring Huanhuan away first!â
Huanhuan quickly said, âNo, weâll leave together!â
âDonât worry. With our strength, weâll definitely be able to escape unscathed.â
Huanhuan saw an endless stream of guards and beasts pouring out of the Divine Wood City and rushing over. The scene of the Divine Wood being pushed down and burned appeared before her eyes again.
Perhaps it was because she had the Divine Wood seed in her body, but she felt the Divine Woodâs emotions before its death especially deeply.
Disappointment, sadness, anger, painâ¦
These emotions surged out, forcing the Divine Wood to shatter the heart of nature.
Huanhuan gritted her teeth and whispered, âBai Di, Iâm in a bad mood. Can I be willful again?â
Bai Diâs voice was both gentle and firm. âOf course. You can do whatever you want. Iâll always have your back.â
âThank you.â
Huanhuan lowered her head and kissed the tigerâs back.
With Bai Diâs support, she could finally make up her mind. She looked up and shouted at the white elephant, âBi Huan, donât you want the Divine Wood seed? Come at me!â
Everyone was stunned.
The white elephant looked at her. His green eyes were deep and invisible.
âYou do know the whereabouts of the Divine Wood seed.â
Huanhuan clenched her fists and tried to look calmer. She said, âI do know where the Divine Wood seed is, but I wonât tell you. Youâll never see the Divine Wood again!â
The white elephant stared at her coldly. âThe Divine Wood belongs to us. Even if you donât want to tell us, we have ways to make you tell the truth.â
âHow dare you say that the Divine Wood belongs to your Divine Wood clan? Back then, you were the ones who took down and burned the Divine Wood. You didnât even have mercy for the dead Divine Wood. You ground it into medicine and drank it. Youâve all been relying on the Divine Wood to survive until now and call yourselves the Divine Wood clan, but you were the ones who killed the Divine Wood! You traitors!â
The white elephantâs tone suddenly darkened. âWho did you hear this from?!â
Huanhuan shouted, âIf you donât want anyone to know about something, donât do it! You killed the saintess and hid her corpse in an underground secret room. You even helped your mate, Yu Ying, torture and kill your clansmen. You also framed the Divine Wood for all these crimes. A hypocritical and sinister male beast like you will suffer retribution sooner or later!â
The white elephantâs gaze was extremely cold. âThe Divine Wood died from a natural disaster. It has nothing to do with me. Donât lie to everyone here!â
The guards and beasts had already rushed over. They heard everything Huanhuan had just said and looked shocked.
None of them believed that the kind high priest would be such a sinister person.
Huanhuan glanced at the faces of the beasts and said word by word, âIf you donât believe me, you can open the secret chamber under the temple now. The corpse of the saintess is still lying inside. She has been lying in that small room for hundreds of years. Her body has long rotted, but I believe her soul is still staring at you!â
She stared into the white elephantâs eyes as she said the last word.
Their eyes met, and the atmosphere became extremely stiff and cold.
After hearing what Huanhuan had to say, Xue Hui didnât want to believe that the most respected high priest was such a sinister person. However, logic told her that Huanhuan didnât have to lie about this because it wouldnât do Huanhuan any good.
In order to find out the truth, Xue Hui immediately turned around and flapped her wings to fly toward the temple.
She wanted to take a look at the secret underground chamber herself!
The white elephant questioned again, âWho told you all this?â
Huanhuan sneered. âWould you believe me if I said the Divine Wood told me?â
The white elephant quickly denied it. âImpossible! The Divine Wood has been dead for hundreds of years! It canât come back to life!â
âThatâs right. Since the Divine Wood died, it canât be revived. Then what made you think that the Divine Wood could save your mate? Thereâs never been a way to revive the dead in this world. Life and death are decided by the heavens. No one can interfere, but you forced your mateâs death on the Divine Wood. The Divine Wood died an innocent death.â
The white elephantâs eyes gradually turned blood red.
He stared at Huanhuan. âWho the hell are you?!â
Huanhuan said slowly, âIâm just an ordinary female.â
Bi Huan did not believe that an ordinary female would know so many secrets about the Divine Wood clan. Her background was definitely not simple!
Thinking of the mysterious beast who was hiding in her dream to help her, Bi Huan became more and more agitated. Everything was out of his control now, and the plot was running in an unpredictable direction.
If this continued, Yu Yingâs true cause of death would definitely be dug up.
It was fine if he died, but he could not let Yu Ying suffer any grievances!
Yu Ying was innocent. She knew nothing.
He should be the one to bear all the sins!
The white elephantâs eyes turned red. He used his nose to pick up a tree and threw it at Bai Di!
Bai Di carried Huanhuan and turned to run, avoiding the big tree. At the same time, the white elephant had already rushed in front of them. He raised his thick elephant legs and stepped on Bai Di and Huanhuan!
Bai Di jumped a long way.
However, while he was jumping, Huanhuan lost her balance and fell off the tigerâs back!
When Bai Di landed, he looked back and saw her fall to the ground. The huge, thick elephant foot was only a palmâs length away.
Just as she was about to be flattened, a thick branch suddenly broke through the air and brushed past under the elephantâs foot. The elephantâs foot was blocked by the branch and could not continue stepping down.
At the same time, another branch reached out, wrapped around Huanhuan, and brought her out of danger.
Huanhuan looked up and saw that the divine tree had woken up. The branches on its body had become even lusher than the last time she saw it. Its straight tree trunk stood in the forest like a sharp sword.
It asked, âAre you okay?â
Huanhuan shook her head. âIâm fine. Thank you for saving me.â
The divine tree gently placed her on the white tigerâs back. âLeave quickly. Leave this to me.â
âWhat do you want to do?â
âBack then, I didnât know the truth and couldnât protect the Divine Wood. This was my greatest regret. Now, I finally have the chance to end this regret.â
