In actuality, all the experts of the four huge clans still had some lingering fears. The vast majority of them wanted to escape right away, and did not wanted to stay here for another second. However, the clan lord’s heirs and the other authoritative personnel only had blood within their eyes, losing all reason. They wanted to take revenge no matter what.
“Our Great Floating Pool will never cower. We will certainly avenge our brethren. Siege this place and starve those people to death!” Roared the clan lord’s younger brother.
Jiao Clan’s people had a huge fear within their hearts. Some unwilling people were opposed to this.
“You know that death is certain, so why fight. We can’t do this. That’s your brother, so you take revenge. We don’t want to give up our lives for nothing.
“What did you say? Our clan lord just died and you guys don’t want to take revenge and instead want to run away. Are you still men of the Great Floating Pool?”
Suddenly, the Great Floating Pool almost rebelled and started a revolution.
The same thing was happening within the Lightning Clan and the Golden Wolf Tribe. No one wished to throw away their lives, and they all wanted to get as far away from that demonic willow tree as they could.
In the end, some people ran away while others obediently surrounded Stone Village, preparing to sever them from any food source.
Hou…
That Golden Wolf God rushed back and directly returned in front of the Golden Wolf Tribe’s little clan lord. He sent him flying with a slap, and afterwards, it put the precious artifact – Wolf Tooth Dagger into his mouth before turning around and fleeing. It became a streak of golden light beam, and it disappeared within the blink of an eye.
Everyone was dumbstruck and cried out in fear again.
“Little clan lord, let’s back off, this is a bad omen! Our Guardian Spirit abandoned us and took away our tribe’s ancestral artifact!” a clan elder shouted in dismay.
Not only their clan, but even the Great Floating Pool and the people of Lightning Clan were frightened, and all of them wanted to leave. As far as Purple Mountain Clan was concerned, they left a long time ago. Not a single one of them stopped, and it was obvious that Zishan Hou gave the orders to back away and discontinue the struggles.
Xiu!
Suddenly, that willow branch moved again. This time rays of light flourished greatly and was far more dazzling than it had ever been before. In the blink of an eye, it shot out over four to five li. It fiercely waved and peeled off the mountains and cut off their peaks. Rumbling noises sounded all over and the forests were swept away.
The Golden Wolf Tribe’s little clan head screamed loudly. Heads started flying and many of the people who remained to fight were chopped directly into two pieces. Carcasses dropped to the floor and blood splashed everywhere.
Soon after, the Jiao clan of Great Floating Pool also became like this. Many of the people in power were killed as the willow branch swept through. Blood blossomed into the air as one head after another flew up.
At death’s door, these people’s faces froze in horror as they felt endless remorse. It wasn’t that the willow tree couldn’t stretch to this place, but rather that it was merely ignoring them.
Pu! Pu!
After beheading the important characters, the willow tree did not massacre wantonly and only targeted their mounts. The willow branch successively penetrated one mount after another until it pierced the majority of them.
Finally, over a hundred mounts, including the Scaled Horses, Unicorns and Moon Rhinoceros, were all pierced by the willow branch and dragged back into Stone Village. This time, it did not absorb their divine essence, but rather threw them right onto the streets.
“Run!”
The experts of the four huge clans were appalled. They fled for their lives and did not dare to stay another second.
Everyone within Stone Village became stupefied. The willow tree was too powerful.
After a long while, Shi Linghu turned around and begrudgingly said, “This is an Unicorn, able to run ten thousand li a day. It’s such a rare mount.”
“There’s still a couple of feathered tigers here and some other rarely seen beasts!” a few village elders said in surprise.
Every one held the willow tree in an incomparable and heartfelt reverence. The willow tree protected their village. In everyone’s mouths were the words “Willow Deity” as they piously prayed to it.
Suddenly, a divine message rang out, “This is food, prepare an adequate amount of it. A great calamity approaches.”
“Who?” Everyone was shocked.
“It’s the Guardian Spirit. The Willow Deity that defended us has spoken.” The little guy stared with his eyes wide open. Bright rays of light flickered within his eyes as he stared at the scorched black willow tree in amazement.
