Chapter 1081: Princess White Li
Generally speaking, the areas of those oases might tend to have heavenly treasures.
Now there was an oasis before Zhang Ruochen.
A curved river flowed in its center. Under the setting sun, the river glittered like golden dragon scales.
At the center of the oasis, there was a 300-meter-tall saint tree. Its black trunk and white leaves made a sharp contrast.
The tree was so tall that the branches and leaves of it had covered most of the oasis. At night, sparkles would fall from the white leaves, making the oasis a wonderland.
The saint tree only grew recently after it took the Essence of the Heaven and the Earth of the Blue Dragon Void World.
A young girl in white stood under the saint tree. Her body was covered by the rain of sparkles like a Fairy Lingbo who didn’t belong to the human world.
She had long black hair and a well-shaped figure, which made strikingly beautiful curves. The skin outside her cloth gave light fluorescence like a fairy.
Under her cute butt, there was a white tail falling to the ground, and it would move from time to time.
“Although the saint tree only lives for half a month, it can compare with a saintly herb which has lived for 30,000 years. It should be the spiritual root of the area in the surrounding thousands of kilometers.”
Her eyelashes were long and extremely pretty. Vivid light showed in her eyes. After she observed the saint tree, she put on a smile that could attract all human beings.
An old man and an old woman both in white stood behind her to her right side and left side.
The old man looked outside the oasis and walked to her, cupping his hands. “Princess, there is the Qi of human.”
Princess White Li pressed her little red lips slightly, and said carelessly while observing the saint tree. “Human? Hasn’t the Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon surrounded them in the Yingsha City?”
“Maybe some have escaped from it.”
“They could get out, which means that they have some power. I have no interest in human monks. If they are clever enough to make their way around, I will let them go. But, if they dared to intrude upon the oasis or scheme something, you wouldn’t have to be polite with them.”
Princess White Li didn’t mind those humans outside the oasis, and reached out a white and flawless hand to touch the dark trunk gently.
Zoom!
A green vine stood out from her sleeves.
The green vine was of spirit. Its root stung into the trunk of the saint tree like needles, absorbing its Qi of life.
The light given by the saint tree dimmed.
But the green vine became thicker and longer, winding and climbing up the trunk, rustling.
At the top of a dune outside the oasis.
Zhang Ruochen, Blackie, Sikong One and Sikong Two stood together, watching Princess White Li under the Black-White Saint Tree.
Sikong One touched his round head, and asked with wonder, “What’s she doing?”
Zhang Ruochen stared at the green vine winding on the saint tree. Surprise flashed in his eyes. He said, “Is that a Saint Eating Flower?”
“Yes, it is.”
Blackie lay face down on Zhang Ruochen’s shoulder, looking a little alarmed.
“Saint Eating Flower? It’s just a green vine. Where’s the flower?” Sikong One was more puzzled.
Zhang Ruochen said, “When it blossomed, it had the power to devour saints. By then we shouldn’t attack, but run right away.”
Blackie said, “Saint Eating Flower has a powerful attack. It could take in the saint power of other saint creatures to improve itself. As far as I know, the last Saint Eating Flower died in the Middle Ages. Where did Princess White Li find this seedling?”
The Saint Eating Flower of Princess White Li was truly just a seedling. It was absorbing the saint power of the saint tree, wanting to grow up quickly to blossom. Then its flower could devour saints.
According to Blackie, there was a Saint Eating Flower in the Middle Ages rooting on many saint corpses. It almost made it to become a deity.
Alas, it failed to pass the trial and was turned into ash.
It was the last Saint Eating Flower in the Kunlun’s Field. After that, they died out.
Blackie guessed that the seedling of Princess White Li’s Saint Eating Flower might have been born in the ash of the divine trial. It inherited part of the old Saint Eating Flower’s memory. Once it blossomed, it would become a terribly harmful plant.
Like the Sky-connecting Divine Wood, even if it was cut down, new seedlings could grow from its root.
“Look, there is a flower bud on the tip of the green vine,” Sikong One cried.
Zhang Ruochen looked to it and saw that the vine on the saint tree had become as thick as an arm. At its tip, among the green leaves, white light was given out, and a flower bud about the size of a fist was produced.
“We can’t wait and must act now.”
Zhang Ruochen felt not good and used his moves to dash into the oasis. He ran to the saint tree.
Blackie followed him and said, “Zhang Ruochen, don’t attack now. Let me talk with them. We are all cats and have many common words. Maybe we can solve it in peace.”
“You can negotiate this?”
Zhang Ruochen found it hard to believe Blackie, and he didn’t want to waste his time.
“I am quite influential and respectable among cats like Thousand-bone Empress among human beings. Once I show them my identity, they will surrender,” Blackie said confidently, patting its chest.
“Senior Uncle, let it try, then we’ll act.”
Sikong One was confident in Blackie as well.
As the three people and one cat intruded upon the oasis, the old man in white and old woman in white stopped them immediately.
The old man stepped his right foot forward, pressing down the earth. He scolded, “Retreat, or you will die pathetically here.”
His cultivation was strong as he had passed two Trials of Pre-Saint. His Qi was even stronger than that of Blue Eagle Beast King.
Blackie walked to him and laughed. “Kid, we are all members of the Nine Li Cats. Let’s talk, not fight.”
The old man stared at Blackie. Coldness was seen in his eyes. “How dare you call me a kid?”
Blackie stood up like a person with both claws in front of his chest. He said haughtily, “In the Middle Ages, the Saint Mother of the White Li Cats wanted to become a student of mine, but I didn’t consent to it. Aren’t you descendants of the Saint Mother White Li? What should I call you if not ‘kid?’”
“How dare you to insult the Saint Mother? Even if you are a cat, I have to teach you a good lesson today.”
The old man bent his fingers into sharp white claws. With a slight wave of his arms, a low boom was heard.
“I’m telling you the truth. Why don’t you believe me?”
Blackie was caught in the middle, for it didn’t want to fight its own kind.
Apparently, the so-called negotiation had failed.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to waste time. He pushed Blackie aside and strode to the front. He played a palm.
Right after it, a dozens of meters long blood red dragon shadow flew out from his palm to attack the old man.
“It’s powerful.”
The old man changed his face a bit, and transferred all his Holy Qi to wield the claw print and clash with the shadow of the blood dragon.
Boom.
The old man flew back for more than 100 meters til he could stop himself. Blood came out from the corner of his mouth, showing that he was wounded.
The ground between him and Zhang Ruochen was cracked. All plants were destroyed and turned into burnt soil.
Under the saint tree.
Princess White Li was surprised. She turned around and looked at the young human. She said to herself. How could he be so powerful?
Princess White Li was clear about the old man’s strength, which was stronger than ordinary beast kings.
And now he’d been wounded by one palm of a young human, which meant that the young man’s power was even greater.
Zoom—
Princess White Li turned into a shooting light. Her bare feet stepped on the white current to fly to the old man and the old woman.
“Your Highness, the human is very powerful. He should have reached the peak of the Second Trial of Pre-Saint.”
The old man looked grave and treated Zhang Ruochen as a great enemy.
The pupils of Princess White Li were like two round moons, giving out chaotic power. She looked at Zhang Ruochen and saw his true state.
Even she was a little surprised and unconvinced. She asked, “You are a Seventh Level Half-Saint?”
The old man was astonished and looked at Zhang Ruochen again. He found it hard to believe that he was just a Seventh Level Half-Saint.
His power was almost at the peak of a Second Trial Pre-saint, and maybe had reached the level of a Third Trial Pre-saint.
If he was truly a Seventh Level Half-Saint, it was totally weird.
Zhang Ruochen looked to the Saint Eating Flower and saw that the flower bud grew bigger, so he gave an order immediately, “Let’s do it and end it soon.”
Both Sikong One and Sikong Two transferred their Buddha Qi inside their bodies, condensing into a shadow of a black dragon and a shadow of a white tiger.
Ahhhh!
Hoooo!
Roars of dragons and tigers were heard in the oasis immediately.
Princess White Li glanced at Sikong One and Sikong Two. She could feel the strong energy wave coming from them.
She put on a serious face, and said, “Wait. What are you here for? Are you fighting for the saint tree? Actually, we don’t have to fight. I can give it to you.”
In Princess White Li’s opinion, most saint power of the saint tree had been taken in by the Saint Eating Flower, so it didn’t matter if she gave it to them.
“We are not interested in the saint tree, but you. We want to capture you and let you bore kitties for me.” Blackie laughed.
Princess White Li looked at Blackie and felt speechless.
She finally realized that the people before them were coming after her.
