Jiang Che had already determined the location of the Willow God, and as he probed with his Soul Power, it indeed did not alert the Willow God.
"This time, I must succeed!"
A hint of determination flashed in Jiang Che's eyes.
Then, Jiang Che picked up the half bottle of soda on the table, quickly left the booth, settled the bill, and headed toward the direction where the Willow God was.
At the same time Jiang Che detected the Willow God.
In a secluded courtyard in the East District.
Outside the courtyard, the guards were strictly vigilant, heavily armed, such that not even a fly would think of flying in.
The willow stump in the corner had completely shed its dead bark, rejuvenated with vitality, transforming into a wooden platform firmly rooted in the ground.
On the stump, verdant jade-like willow branches swayed in the wind, and rich azure light emanated like waves of water, spreading in all directions.
Layers upon layers of enormous azure halos overlapped, brilliantly dazzling, making the willow tree appear even more sacred and pure.
In the void, a mysterious force surged from all directions towards the Willow God's body, and as this mysterious force infused, each willow branch became more supple and delicate, and the Spiritual Light grew even more intense.
Every moment, the aura emitted by the Willow God was slowly rising.
The gentle breeze blew, and the willow branches danced with the wind, points of azure light constantly twinkling in the air, turning into azure mist that spread outward, dissipating on their own after drifting a hundred meters away.
Creak~
The courtyard door was pushed open, and a slender figure walked over slowly.
"Willow God, I hope you can wake up soon, the Great Qin Empire can't do without you right now!"
Principal Lin gazed at the willow tree and said slowly.
At this moment, Principal Lin looked exhausted, his face aged considerably, and his eyes, hidden behind glasses, were bloodshot.
The situation of the Great Qin Empire had left him utterly weary.
At this moment, the Great Qin Empire was like a house full of cracks; just a little external force could break the balance and cause it to collapse instantly.
If not for the fact that the Black Demon Tiger had not yet acted against the Great Qin Empire, the empire would have been in dire straits by now.
As time gently passed by, Principal Lin just stood there staring at the Willow God, enjoying this brief moment of tranquility.
Then, footsteps approached from behind.
Tap tap tap~
"Principal, we might have to leave.
Just now, the Sichuan Province military sent a message—fourth-tier fierce beasts are attacking the city, they can hardly hold on and request support from the Imperial Capital, asking to send the last two National Preceptors."
Assistant Zhang came over and said in a low voice.
"What? Fourth-tier fierce beasts attacking a city? Doesn't Sichuan Province have Revivers? Have them offer a high price to hire Revivers to act; even if they can't kill it, they need to hold it off."
Principal Lin was shocked, immediately furrowed his brows, and instructed.
Recently, if the provincial military districts below couldn't resolve fierce beasts, they could use collected Spiritual Objects to hire Revivers for help.
Currently, many provinces would use this method when the Imperial Capital couldn't provide timely support, and the effect was quite good.
But it did consume a lot of Spiritual Object resources.
"They've tried, but there are already very few Revivers in Sichuan Province, and their strength is not high. There are two fourth-tier Revivers, but they probably feel the fourth-tier fierce beast is too strong and refuse to take action."
"So ultimately, this matter still needs coordination from the Imperial Capital. To repel the fourth-tier fierce beast, we either invite the two National Preceptors, or we recruit one from another province."
Assistant Zhang said with a grim expression, seeing that the situation of the Great Qin Empire was becoming increasingly difficult, with frequent requests for assistance.
In fact, besides these two choices, the Imperial Capital previously had an even better option, which was to dispatch the young Sword Immortal, but now...
"Alright, I understand. Have them hold on for a bit longer, I'll go and coordinate for them immediately."
Principal Lin's face turned somber; to him, now, there was actually only one option.
Finding the National Preceptors? Those two would not act unless absolutely necessary or without spending a huge amount of resources, not advisable if avoidable.
The most suitable method now was to coordinate from another province, first recruiting a fourth-tier Reviver to help; not necessarily to kill, just to repel.
Taking one last look at the unchanged Willow God.
With a long sigh, Principal Lin, full of helplessness, left with Assistant Zhang.
Moments after Principal Lin left, suddenly, the Power of Space surged within the courtyard.
A strange black point appeared in the air, and with the spatial ripples akin to water, it continually expanded outward, the central black point rapidly enlarging until it formed a stable Spatial Channel.
The next moment, a massive figure flew out of the Spatial Channel.
Jiang Che appeared directly in the courtyard, and to avoid alerting the guards outside, he slowly descended.
Surveying his surroundings, Jiang Che finally found the Willow God's true form.
The next moment.
Jiang Che's gaze focused slightly as he observed the willow tree ahead.
So this is the true form of the Willow God?
Surely extraordinary, it seems naturally endowed with the ability to gather Spiritual Qi, as even this small courtyard he now stood in had air rich in Spiritual Qi comparable to Peach Grove Valley.
Furthermore, the azure light emitted by the Willow God, when cast upon oneself, made one feel like their body and mind were being baptized; every cell in the body felt as if charged, brimming with vitality.
As a result, Jiang Che's gaze toward the Willow God's true form grew increasingly fervent; this Willow God was indeed an ideal binding target.
Now, with the fifth target right before his eyes, he was thrilled beyond measure; he must bind successfully today.
Meticulously surveying the surroundings of the Willow God, finding nothing for cautionary means, Jiang Che relaxed, treading stealthily towards the Willow God.
The closer he got to the Willow God, the stronger the effect of the azure light exuded from the opponent's body became.
Jiang Che felt that in just these few moments, his energy was overflowing, his mind became much sharper, and even the Spiritual Power spent in just opening the Spatial Channel had rapidly recovered.
Jiang Che gradually approached, until he was two zhang away from the true form of the Willow God, when suddenly, bursts of azure light blossomed among the branches, the brilliance exceedingly dazzling, akin to a sun, a terrifying aura erupted, sweeping in all directions.
At this moment, the entire courtyard had transformed into a world of azure light.
It seemed as though the Willow God sensed an unfamiliar presence approaching and now awoke.
"Thunder Tiger, you've gone too far!"
The azure light flickered, the Willow God manifested, her gaze as sharp as a sword, her voice bearing overwhelming fury!
She was utterly shocked in her heart, never having expected that Thunder Tiger actually found her true location.
Now, she hadn't fully recovered, and was absolutely not a match for Thunder Tiger!
