Chapter 291 Exchanging for Divine Tree Seeds

Yang Lei glanced back at the stream beneath the jade bridge. The stream water was comparable to top-grade spiritual spring water, brimming with spiritual energy.

He looked away and followed Zhang Wunian and Liu Yunfei.

"Here it is!" Liu Yunfei's strong voice rang out, his tone a mixture of joy and worry.

Zhang Wunian and Yang Lei teleported to Liu Yunfei's side one after the other and saw Zhang Feifei, Zhao Tianyu, Yun Che, Wang Mengya, Xu Xian, Yuan Song, Anying, Huanqin, Wang Wen, and Zuo Feng lying on the ground below the mountain.

They are all leading figures of the younger generation in their respective sects.

If they all perished in the secret realm behind the Divine Mechanism Pavilion, Zhang Wunian dared not even think about the consequences.

Liu Yunfei examined Yun Che, Zhao Yunfei, Zhang Feifei, and Wang Mengya's bodies repeatedly. After confirming that there was no spiritual energy fluctuation in their dantian, he disregarded his image and collapsed to the ground.

His lips trembled. "Sect Leader, Senior Brother."

Zhang Wunian calmed himself down. "Don't move them. Let's return to the entrance and ask Xuanzi for help."

Liu Yunfei muttered to himself, repeating, "Yes, yes, go find Xuanzi. Xuanzi will definitely have a solution."

Zhang Wunian glanced at Liu Yunfei, who seemed somewhat lost, and said, "Yunfei, you stay here."

"Elder Yang, come back with me."

Yang Lei withdrew his gaze from Yuan Song and asked through telepathy, "Sect Leader, there is spiritual energy fluctuating within Yuan Song, the eldest disciple of Danyang Sect."

Zhang Wunian nodded and responded softly, "Mm."

He had already noticed this, but he didn't say anything to avoid upsetting Liu Yunfei.

Yang Lei: "Sect Leader, Senior Brother Liu, he..."

Zhang Wunian sighed, "Alas, he was too sentimental in his life, and he couldn't overcome the bond of love."

Thinking of the love-hate entanglement between Liu Yunfei, Tang Wan'er of Youying Palace, and Yu Nishang of Tianyin Sect, Zhang Wunian felt a headache coming on.

Yang Lei: "Sect Leader, Senior Brother, he..."

Zhang Wunian: "A lover who is infatuated will only trap himself."

"Trying to be loyal to each other only leads to mutual betrayal in the end..."

At this point, Zhang Wunian couldn't help but recall his spirited junior brother from back then, who went down the mountain to rescue two children and took good care of them.

In the end, he reluctantly drove the two away, returning to his sect heartbroken and nearly suffering a qi deviation.

From then on, he never saw Liu Yunfei's youthful and handsome appearance again.

Isn't this evidence that he has never been able to let go?

For many years afterward, Liu Yunfei lived alone, secluded and never venturing out.

It wasn't until Yun Che appeared that he decided to become Liu Yunfei's apprentice.

For over a hundred years afterward, the two remained inseparable.

It's easy to imagine how much Yun Che meant to Liu Yunfei.

It was expected that Yun Che would lose control of his emotions upon realizing that his spiritual energy in his dantian had been completely depleted and that his cultivation might be ruined.

Zhang Wunian did not elaborate, and Yang Lei lowered his head thoughtfully. He had also heard about Liu Yunfei's past.

However, when it comes to matters of the heart, no one else can truly help.

The two tacitly remained silent, but quickened their pace.

Entrance to the Cloud Heaven Immortal Palace

"Exchange." Xiao Xuan said telepathically, his expression unchanged.

System 006: "Ding, points can be exchanged for the Heavenly Tree Seed. Exchange in progress."

"Ding, the exchange is complete. The Heavenly Tree Seed has been stored in the system's storage space. Please check it."

"Ding, points have been deducted for this transaction."
