Reincarnated as a Ginkgo Tree: I Create an Eternal Divine Kingdom - Chapter 27

“Indeed,” Su Tao said. “I am a core member of Su Family Village, and the current village chief, Su Yan, is my uncle. However, I have never heard of any mysterious ancestor in our village. The last time we were fooled, but after I calmed down and thought about it, I realized that it must have been a trick by Su Yan.”

Su Ming nodded in agreement.

The young man’s eyes flickered with interest. “Then why didn’t you deal with it yourselves?”

The young woman fixed her gaze on Jiang Yuqian.

Jiang Yuqian hesitated for a moment, but quickly resumed her respectful tone, “Even though we’re certain that Su Family Village has no such ancestor, that supreme technique is real. If we were to make a move, we wouldn’t have much confidence.”

The young woman said nothing more.

The young man named Luo Jiangchen laughed heartily. “At least you’re honest enough not to try any tricks in front of us.”

“Brother Luo, we should still be cautious!” the young woman urged.

Luo Jiangchen scoffed, “There’s nothing to be cautious about. Do you really think there’s anything in such a remote place that could pose a threat to me?”

“But…” the young woman began.

“Sister Zhao, I understand that female cultivators tend to be more timid. If you’re afraid, you can stay here while I go with Chief Jiang and the others,” Luo Jiangchen interrupted.

“Then you go ahead,” Zhao Xueqing responded, unbothered by his taunt and showing no interest in joining the fray.

Her purpose for leaving the sect this time was more for leisure. After Jiang Yuqian found Luo Jiangchen and told him about Su Family Village, she thought it might be interesting, which is why she came along. But as for actual combat, she wasn’t particularly interested.

Luo Jiangchen wasn’t offended by her response; in fact, he was rather pleased. If Zhao Xueqing didn’t go, it meant he could have the supreme technique all to himself. This was exactly what he wanted.

Luo Jiangchen was quick to act. Within a quarter of an hour, he led the people from the three villages toward Su Family Village.

In Su Family Village, someone rushed to report to Su Yan, “Chief, something terrible has happened! The scouts we posted outside the three villages have reported that their people are marching toward us again.”

Su Yan’s hand trembled. “How could the three villages be coming so soon?”

“It’s said that disciples from the Violet Sun Sect have arrived,” the messenger replied.

Su Yan’s face darkened. “No wonder. If it were just the three villages, even if they suspected us, they wouldn’t dare act recklessly. But with disciples from the Violet Sun Sect present, that undoubtedly gives them the courage to act without hesitation. Could it be… that the heavens truly wish to destroy our Su Family Village?”

“Chief, our village might not be doomed yet,” Su Qianqian interjected.

Su Yan sighed, “Our real strength is enough to resist the three villages, but we can’t possibly stand against experts from the Violet Sun Sect.”

“We still have a glimmer of hope,” Su Qianqian suggested.

“Are you referring to…?” Su Yan’s eyes lit up.

“Chief, I need to go to the Ancient Wilderness Mountain Range,” Su Qianqian said.

“Very well, but be quick,” Su Yan agreed without hesitation.

The people from the three villages could arrive at any moment; they had to act fast.

Su Qianqian knew the urgency of the situation. Without delay, she rushed toward the Misty Zone of the Ancient Wilderness Mountain Range. It hadn’t been long since Su Qianqian had become a cultivator, otherwise, it would have taken a mortal at least half an hour to cover the forty-five mile distance between Su Family Village and the Divine Tree. But now, it took her just over a quarter of an hour to arrive.

“Divine Tree, please save Su Family Village,” Su Qianqian pleaded, kneeling before Su Mu.

Su Mu was inwardly delighted. Su Qianqian’s arrival was timely. He could have her teach the Snow Spirit Mink and the Ironback Ape how to speak.

Immediately, Su Mu conveyed his thoughts to Su Qianqian: “I will give you a leaf. It will resolve the crisis in Su Family Village, but afterward, you must stay here for a few days.”

The leaf contained Su Mu’s spiritual power. It wasn’t enough to deal with stronger opponents, but it was more than sufficient to handle the crisis in Su Family Village.

Su Qianqian did not hesitate. “Yes, Divine Tree.”

Back in Su Family Village…

“Jiang Yuqian, here to pay respects to Su Family Village’s ancestor,” Jiang Yuqian called out.

There was no response.

A smile crept onto Jiang Yuqian’s face. “Now we can be sure that we were tricked by Su Family Village last time.”

The people from the three villages, feeling more confident, broke down the gates of Su Family Village and forced their way in. Within moments, Su Yan and the others were completely surrounded by the villagers.

“Su Yan, where is your Su Family Village ancestor now?” Jiang Yuqian taunted.

Su Yan’s face was dark and grim.

“Enough with the nonsense. Hand over that wind-controlling technique, and I’ll leave your bodies intact,” Luo Jiangchen said impatiently.

The villagers of Su Family Village were filled with despair. Was their village truly going to be destroyed today?

“Still not talking?” Luo Jiangchen’s eyes darkened. “Then seize them all, and we’ll kill them one by one. I don’t believe they’re all unafraid of death.”

The people from the three villages grinned savagely at the thought.

Just as they were about to move against the villagers, Su Qianqian returned.

“Qianqian, run!” the villagers cried out.

This time, the expert from the Violet Sun Sect was too terrifying. Luo Jiangchen’s aura was almost at the Foundation Establishment level. He was someone they couldn’t possibly contend with.

“Another one who slipped through?” Jiang Yuqian sneered.

At her signal, several villagers rushed toward Su Qianqian.

Su Qianqian remained calm. She had no intention of dragging this out. The sooner she dealt with the problem, the better. With a simple motion of her hand, an unremarkable ginkgo leaf appeared in her palm.

“What is she planning to do?”

“Who cares what she’s doing? Just take her down.”

The villagers of Jiang Family Village didn’t take Su Qianqian seriously. Although Su Qianqian was a cultivator, they had come prepared this time.

But as they were about to make their move, the leaf in Su Qianqian’s hand suddenly shot out like lightning. The villagers who were close to her were instantly killed.

At that moment, the people from the three villages were struck dumb.

That unassuming leaf had the power of a flying sword?

Su Qianqian’s target was Luo Jiangchen. The fact that the three villages had returned meant they had newfound confidence, which likely came from Luo Jiangchen. Therefore, Su Qianqian’s primary goal was to eliminate him.

Almost simultaneously, Luo Jiangchen’s hair stood on end as he sensed a deadly threat. But the ginkgo leaf was too fast! He didn’t have time to dodge!

Fortunately, he didn’t despair. He was wearing a supreme-grade inner armor of the First Tier! With this armor protecting him, he didn’t believe the ginkgo leaf could kill him in one strike.

Rip!

Just as Luo Jiangchen thought this, the ginkgo leaf easily sliced through his armor. Clearly, he had underestimated the power of the ginkgo leaf.

Moments later, Luo Jiangchen could feel the leaf piercing through his flesh and then his heart. He looked down to see a bloody tear in his chest.

Su Qianqian did not stop there. Since she had already used the Divine Tree’s leaf, she decided to finish the job. After killing Luo Jiangchen, the ginkgo leaf continued its deadly path, cutting down the people from the three villages.

Su Mu was now a Third-Tier existence. His leaves were not something these people could withstand. The villagers from the three villages fell like sheep before the slaughter.
