The white elephant was very angry. He swung his long trunk. “Let go of His Majesty!”
Xue Ling flew so high that the elephant’s trunk could not touch him.
He said calmly, “Return to the Divine Wood City. When my companions leave the forest, I’ll let your beast king go.”
“You’re despicable!”
Xue Ling’s smile was dazzling. “Thank you for the compliment.”
Seeing this scene, Huanhuan couldn’t help but sigh in her heart. Xue Ling’s ability to be domineering was really cool. He could trigger Bi Huan with just a few words.
‘Here, I’ll give you a thumbs up!’
Xuan Wei shouted at Bai Di, “Bring Huanhuan away first!”
Huanhuan quickly said, “No, we’ll leave together!”
“Don’t worry. With our strength, we’ll definitely be able to escape unscathed.”
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 Wood’s emotions before its death especially deeply.
Disappointment, sadness, anger, pain…
These emotions surged out, forcing the Divine Wood to shatter the heart of nature.
Huanhuan gritted her teeth and whispered, “Bai Di, I’m in a bad mood. Can I be willful again?”
Bai Di’s voice was both gentle and firm. “Of course. You can do whatever you want. I’ll always have your back.”
“Thank you.”
Huanhuan lowered her head and kissed the tiger’s back.
With Bai Di’s support, she could finally make up her mind. She looked up and shouted at the white elephant, “Bi Huan, don’t you want the Divine Wood seed? Come at me!”
Everyone was stunned.
The white elephant looked at her. His green eyes were deep and invisible.
“You do know the whereabouts of the Divine Wood seed.”
Huanhuan clenched her fists and tried to look calmer. She said, “I do know where the Divine Wood seed is, but I won’t tell you. You’ll never see the Divine Wood again!”
The white elephant stared at her coldly. “The Divine Wood belongs to us. Even if you don’t want to tell us, we have ways to make you tell the truth.”
“How 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 didn’t even have mercy for the dead Divine Wood. You ground it into medicine and drank it. You’ve 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!”
The white elephant’s tone suddenly darkened. “Who did you hear this from?!”
Huanhuan shouted, “If you don’t want anyone to know about something, don’t 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!”
The white elephant’s gaze was extremely cold. “The Divine Wood died from a natural disaster. It has nothing to do with me. Don’t lie to everyone here!”
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, “If you don’t 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!”
She stared into the white elephant’s 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 didn’t want to believe that the most respected high priest was such a sinister person. However, logic told her that Huanhuan didn’t have to lie about this because it wouldn’t 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, “Who told you all this?”
Huanhuan sneered. “Would you believe me if I said the Divine Wood told me?”
The white elephant quickly denied it. “Impossible! The Divine Wood has been dead for hundreds of years! It can’t come back to life!”
“That’s right. Since the Divine Wood died, it can’t be revived. Then what made you think that the Divine Wood could save your mate? There’s 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 mate’s death on the Divine Wood. The Divine Wood died an innocent death.”
The white elephant’s eyes gradually turned blood red.
He stared at Huanhuan. “Who the hell are you?!”
Huanhuan said slowly, “I’m just an ordinary female.”
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 Ying’s 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 elephant’s 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 tiger’s back!
When Bai Di landed, he looked back and saw her fall to the ground. The huge, thick elephant foot was only a palm’s length away.
Just as she was about to be flattened, a thick branch suddenly broke through the air and brushed past under the elephant’s foot. The elephant’s 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, “Are you okay?”
Huanhuan shook her head. “I’m fine. Thank you for saving me.”
The divine tree gently placed her on the white tiger’s back. “Leave quickly. Leave this to me.”
“What do you want to do?”
“Back then, I didn’t know the truth and couldn’t protect the Divine Wood. This was my greatest regret. Now, I finally have the chance to end this regret.”
