963. The Bodhi matter is settled.
"Otherwise, I wouldn't mind keeping you here until the Bodhi Tree appears again, then you can return to the outside world."
"good!"
Hun Feng knew very well that he was now bound by Xiao Yan and had no choice but to submit. He hadn't made exorbitant demands; taking all of his Bodhi seeds was already a sign of leniency.
Moreover, Hunfeng had another plan in mind. Although he was currently under Xiao Yan's control, as long as he left this place, Xiao Yan would be unable to use the power of the Bodhi Tree, and he would naturally be able to take back all the Bodhi seeds with interest.
"Put me down first. With the Bodhi tree here, I am no match for you."
"Okay." With the help of the Bodhi Tree, Xiao Yan was not afraid that Soul Wind would refuse to comply.
Xiao Yan patted the branches of the Bodhi tree, which then slowly loosened, allowing Hun Feng to land safely. Having regained his freedom, Hun Feng also regained control of his Dou Qi. He rubbed his tightly bound wrists, gave Xiao Yan a cold glance, and then obediently opened his storage ring.
With Hun Feng willing to cooperate, Xiao Yan was relieved. As he said, Hun Feng had played a crucial role in the fight against the black energy at the Bodhi Ancient Tree. Without her, Xiao Yan and Huo Zhi alone would have been unable to deal with the black energy, let alone obtain the additional resources from the Bodhi Ancient Tree later.
Therefore, even if Hun Feng wanted to attack him, Xiao Yan was willing to let her go this time.
Not to mention, Huo Zhi, who was most qualified to kill Hun Feng, also sent a telepathic message to Xiao Yan, instructing him to release Hun Feng at this moment.
Subsequently, as promised, Hunfeng gave Xiao Yan ten Bodhi seeds.
Xiao Yan intended to give five of the Bodhi seeds to Huo Zhi, but the latter resolutely refused. In Huo Zhi's own words, these Bodhi seeds were obtained by Xiao Yan through scheming against Hun Feng, and she had done nothing, so naturally she felt embarrassed to share them equally.
After Huo Zhi firmly refused, Xiao Yan did not insist and took the opportunity to put all ten Bodhi seeds into his storage ring.
After all, Xiao Yan has many uses for Bodhi seeds. Xun'er, Little Fairy Doctor, Wei Jiangyuan, Junior Sister Qingyu, Master Sister Xuanyi, Venerable Feng, and Mu Wei are all very important to Xiao Yan, and since they haven't advanced to the Dou Sheng realm yet, they will definitely all be given a share of Bodhi seeds.
Moreover, he used the Bodhi Transformation Saliva given to him by Jiang Yunyan to heal Little Fairy Doctor's injuries. Although the price was not commensurate, it was absolutely a lifesaver for Xiao Yan at the time. Jiang Yunyan may not care, but he himself must, and naturally he wanted to repay this favor.
Although Lei Jingxiao advanced to the Dou Sheng level, given their relationship, it was impossible for him to be left out.
So, by that simple calculation, that's already nine portions of Bodhi seeds. Xiao Yan would definitely need to keep some for refining medicine. Fifteen Bodhi seeds may seem like a lot, but in reality, they're just enough for Xiao Yan's needs.
There's no way around it; the Bodhi seeds are of such high quality and have such great effects that they are highly sought-after even in the Central Plains. Even if Xiao Yan were to obtain a hundred of them, he would most likely find a use for them all.
After Hun Feng had ten Bodhi seeds forcibly taken by Xiao Yan, he remained silent and distanced himself from Xiao Yan and Huo Zhi, seemingly wanting to let the matter drop.
However, she already considered it a great humiliation. Now that Xiao Yan was in this space, he had the Bodhi Tree to support him, and Hun Feng was no match for him. She could only keep reminding herself that she had to endure it and wait to get out of the outside world.
"As long as I leave this place, I can immediately summon the experts of my clan. Xiao Yan, you must repay the humiliation I suffered tenfold!" Hun Feng thought to himself.
Before leaving, Xiao Yan looked back at the towering Bodhi tree, as if bidding farewell to an old friend, and waved, saying, "Goodbye, Brother Bodhi!"
Because of the connection of Bodhi Heart, the ancient Bodhi tree seemed to truly hear Xiao Yan's farewell, its branches trembling slightly and making a rustling sound.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan smiled with relief. The original spatial passage had been closed, but because it knew Xiao Yan's intentions, it reopened a small opening, and the three of them left through it.
After the three of them left, the fighting spirit on the Bodhi Tree quickly receded, as if it had entered a dormant state. Both the rebirth of the Bodhi Heart and the nurturing of the Bodhi Seed are extremely time-consuming processes. During this time, the Bodhi Tree would inevitably fall into a deep sleep, almost without exception. The space gradually contracted, eventually disappearing completely without leaving a trace.
When Xiao Yan and his two companions returned to the Bodhi Ancient Tree space, Hun Feng impatiently crushed her spatial jade. As the strongest young generation of the Soul Clan, the Soul Clan naturally valued her safety. With this spatial jade, she could summon a Dou Sheng powerhouse from the Soul Clan.
As the spatial jade shattered, the sky above them seemed to be torn apart by a merciless behemoth, and an enormous, pitch-black spatial rift was forcibly ripped open!
An indescribable, ferocious aura surged forth from that space, first suppressing Xiao Yan and Huo Zhi.
Seeing the reinforcements appear, Hun Feng said fiercely, "Elder Hun Mu, help me quickly capture these two!"
When Hun Mu, a member of the Soul Clan, saw Xiao Yan and Huo Zhi, he smiled contemptuously and said, "Don't worry, Young Master, leave it to me!"
"That man is Xiao Yan of the Xiao Clan. Keep him alive!"
Hun Mu nodded, without saying a word. His massive hand, covered in thick, grotesque arm armor, carrying a terrifying power capable of pulverizing mountains, tore through the solidified air and, with a ferocious aura of annihilation, slammed down fiercely towards Xiao Yan!
Before the claws even arrived, Xiao Yan's robes fluttered wildly, as if they were about to be torn to shreds at any moment!
Witnessing all of this, Hun Feng felt a pang of regret. Xiao Yan was a formidable opponent, and she had twice lost to him due to external circumstances. She had originally intended to finish him off personally. Now that Hun Mu had intervened, although she was certain to defeat Xiao Yan, she had also lost the possibility of personally defeating him.
However, this was just a thought; Hunfeng knew that his decision was right.
The Bodhi Seed that Xiao Yan carried this time was too valuable. Moreover, as a prodigy of the Soul Clan, since I have the ability to kill him, I cannot let him leave at my own will. Who knows when the next opportunity to deal with Xiao Yan so easily will come?
Hun Feng suddenly realized that Xiao Yan and Huo Zhi showed no surprise at all when they heard him call for help; instead, their eyes held a hint of disdain.
The next moment, a voice that seemed to come from nowhere suddenly appeared in the ears of Hun Feng and Hun Mu.
"You Soul Clan scum, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
