Chapter 2245: Chapter 2245: Medicine Shocks the World (30)

"Why can’t it bloom?"

Miao Lan: "Sir, for the Forgetfulness Tree to bloom, the Earth Soul must reappear."

The Earth Soul and the Ghost Spirit mentioned by Wu Yue are the same, a soul that has already traveled to the Underworld.

"The River of Forgetfulness has dried up, the passage between the realms has vanished; does the Sir think the Earth Soul can still come here?"

Hence, the Forgetfulness Tree is impossible to bloom again.

Chuzheng: "..."

This is a bit of a dilemma!

Chuzheng’s eyes flashed slightly: "Is it because the River of Forgetfulness dried up that the Forgetfulness Tree is like this?"

"Yes," Miao Lan’s gaze swept over the ragged group behind: "Wuyin Town used to be just an ordinary village..."

The people of Wuyin Town were skilled in music, the place was once picturesque, producing handsome men and beautiful women.

But one day, a group of people arrived, claiming that Wuyin Town might have a treasure causing trouble.

The townspeople were curious and excited; who wouldn’t want treasure?

But the townspeople were mostly ordinary people; even the cultivators were just beginners.

Everyone could only treat this as gossip.

The group went in and out of the town, but nobody knew what they were up to, and no one dared to ask.

However, the townspeople never imagined that the group they warmly welcomed were beasts in human skin.

The people of Wuyin Town were slaughtered in one night because that Secret Realm was peculiar.

It must be opened by a soul.

When a person opens a Secret Realm and comes out, the soul disappears.

The soul acts like a disposable key.

One person uses one key, and each time only one item can be taken out.

To obtain more treasures, they killed everyone in the town.

For reasons unknown, something happened in the Secret Realm that the group didn’t use up all the souls and fled hurriedly.

The remaining souls were furious and unwilling but had nowhere to vent their anger.

They could only wander the town.

Day after day, year after year.

The resentment deepened.

After a long time, the group returned, not for the Secret Realm, but to set up a formation covering the entire Wuyin Town.

The River of Forgetfulness, though attached to some legends, was just an ordinary river to them.

The tree wasn’t there before; it was brought by them.

They watched as someone threw seeds into the water, and instantaneously a splash of new green emerged from the river, growing branches until it became a towering giant tree.

The clear waters of the River of Forgetfulness turned blood red, as if Evil Spirits were struggling within.

That was the only time Miao Lan ever saw the Forgetfulness Tree bloom.

Silvery white flowers filled its branches.

Afterwards...

The group activated the formation, causing the entire river to dry suddenly, and the tree to wither instantly.

The group took something with them.

Since then, Wuyin Town couldn’t be seen using ordinary methods, and they were trapped here.

But every so often, people came seeking treasure, and the remaining souls in the town began luring them to their deaths.

"What was it?"

"Seems like it was a person, fished out from... the river," Miao Lan was uncertain but could only confirm it looked like a person: "I was quite weak at the time and didn’t see clearly."

"Demon Spirit Lord wants it to bloom again unless the River of Forgetfulness reappears."

"Destroying this formation would do it, wouldn’t it?" Chuzheng had a unique thought.

Miao Lan: "..."

"No...No way," the blue-clad girl denied immediately: "We would die!"

"Why?"

Miao Lan: "I don’t know...Just have that feeling that if someone destroys this formation, we would all die, so it mustn’t be done."

"Oh." Chuzheng pierced with words: "But you are already dead."

"..."

-

Chuzheng said she would dig up the tree, and she would do it!

The blue-clad girl thought Miao Lan might be able to stop Chuzheng, but unexpectedly, Miao Lan couldn’t stop her either.

They were strangely afraid of her, not daring to act.

"Sister Miao, you... you are also afraid?"

"She is a Demon Spirit."

"What is Demon Spirit?"

"..." Miao Lan didn’t really know how to explain to the blue-clad girl either: "In short, she has an absolute suppressive force on us; we can’t disobey her."

"Why? "

"..."

How would she know why?

Just like they couldn’t let anyone destroy this formation, it’s a sort of... inborn thought.

With the formation’s support, the tree was not so easy to dig.

Chuzheng wasn’t intimidated, rolled up her sleeves, and began forcefully.

[Miss, if you dig up this tree, what if it can’t survive?] King’s Account raised a soul-deep question.

If I don’t dig it up, then can it survive?

[...] Seems not.

Such a formidable tree must not be so fragile.

[...] Shouldn’t the Forgetfulness Tree thank you for your high opinion?

Chuzheng indeed felt another force preventing her from digging up this tree.

Chuzheng’s palm pressed against the trunk, silver threads followed along the trunk, extending into the roots.

The power spread out in all directions.

As Miao Lan said, the entire formation encompassed the entire Wuyin Town.

Such a massive formation, what kind of person could achieve this?

Chuzheng tightened the silver threads, first destroying the weaker parts of the formation one by one.

However, Chuzheng discovered that as soon as she made a move, a spiritual body appeared nearby and directly used it to fill the disrupted area.

One after another...

Once those spiritual bodies filled the areas, the formation automatically restored itself.

"..." How can one play like this?

Chuzheng stopped and ordered Miao Lan: "Gather all the spiritual bodies here."

"Yes, sir." Miao Lan obliged, then asked, "Why, sir?"

"Just gather them as I said, why so much chatter?"

Miao Lan dared not ask further, hurriedly notifying all the spiritual bodies in the town.

The spiritual bodies appeared one by one.

Standing on both sides of the riverbed, densely packed, it was enough to make one’s scalp tingle.

"Damn!!"

The few surviving humans were terrified now.

Just those few spiritual bodies were difficult to deal with, now there were so many more, how could they fight?

"So many people in your town?" Even Chuzheng was surprised.

Weren’t many used already? How were there still so many?

"Over the years, many people who entered here were left behind, so..." more and more.

The spiritual bodies said leading them into the Secret Realm was all a lie.

After all, once these people entered the Secret Realm, they would die.

So, they could only kill them.

And those obedient spiritual bodies were left to join them here.

Chuzheng took a deep breath: "Are they all here?"

Miao Lan nodded, only a couple might not have come.

Chuzheng leaped up, floating in Wulong: "If anyone dares to move, I will kill them."

Chuzheng’s voice was imbued with force, reaching all spiritual bodies.

The spiritual bodies couldn’t disobey Demon Spirit’s words, but when the formation was destroyed, another force tried to lead them to the damaged parts of the formation.

Reason told them not to go, but their bodies couldn’t be controlled.

All the spiritual bodies behaved... like they were insane.

This further terrified the survivors.
