Reincarnated as a Ginkgo Tree: I Create an Eternal Divine Kingdom - Chapter 50

The faces of the Su Family Village members turned pale.

Their “secret method” was none other than the Divine Tree’s leaves—a core secret that was their ultimate lifeline. Anyone who coveted this secret was an enemy, a mortal foe of the Su Family Village.

Wei Renxiao, however, was indifferent to their thoughts.

“To combat the demonic entity, I must maximize the mobilization of all resources within Su Family Village and control everything, eliminating any potential risks,” Wei Renxiao declared. “So, Chief Su, I need you to hand over this secret method.”

“This…” Su Yan’s expression fluctuated between uncertainty and anger.

“What’s the matter, Chief Su? Are you unwilling?” Wei Renxiao’s gaze grew colder. “Or is it that your Su Family Village harbors some unspeakable demonic secrets?”

“Very well, Hall Master Wei, follow me,” Su Yan replied, his tone icy.

Unbeknownst to Wei Renxiao and his group, Su Yao had quietly left during the conversation.

“Uncle, I won’t be going,” Zhao Xueqing said.

She was aware that the Su Family Village likely had secrets, but she wasn’t the type to covet others’ secrets. She had tried to persuade Wei Renxiao earlier but to no avail.

Shortly after, the members of the Violet Sun Sect followed Su Yan to the ancestral hall of the Su Family Village.

When the doors of the ancestral hall opened, the Violet Sun Sect members were stunned.

In the hall, the highest place of honor held a painting. The painting depicted a ginkgo tree, beneath which a young girl was praying.

“This tree is your Su Family Village’s secret?” Wei Renxiao stared at the ginkgo tree, sensing its extraordinary nature even from the painting.

He couldn’t help but grow excited. “Where is this tree? Take me there immediately.”

At that moment, the girl in the painting turned to look at Wei Renxiao, extending her hand. In her palm was a leaf, which began to float on its own.

The members of the Violet Sun Sect widened their eyes in shock.

Wei Renxiao was even more thrilled. He could sense an extraordinary aura emanating from the seemingly ordinary leaf. If just one leaf held such power, the ginkgo tree itself must be even more miraculous.

At that moment, Su Qianqian’s expression turned cold as she infused her spiritual energy into the leaf.

“Something’s wrong,” one of the Violet Sun Sect members sensed the danger.

Wei Renxiao reacted swiftly, striking out at Su Qianqian.

Boom!

Su Yan and Su Qing immediately intercepted, channeling their spiritual energy to block Wei Renxiao’s attack.

Although their spiritual power was formidable, it was clear they were no match for Wei Renxiao. Both were sent flying, gravely injured.

However, they had succeeded in delaying Wei Renxiao for a crucial moment.

In that moment, Su Qianqian hurled the leaf.

Boom!

An indescribable aura erupted from the leaf.

Wei Renxiao, sensing the impending doom, frantically tried to flee. But the leaf seemed to lock onto him.

In an instant, the leaf pierced through Wei Renxiao’s skull.

Despite being a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator, Wei Renxiao’s spiritual defenses couldn’t withstand the leaf’s power for even a moment.

“You…” Wei Renxiao’s body froze.

Bang!

The next instant, he collapsed, dead.

“Hall Master!” The other disciples of the Violet Sun Sect were both enraged and terrified.

“Kill them!” Su Yan roared.

The Su Family Village members surged forward, attacking the remaining Violet Sun Sect cultivators with reckless abandon. Their hatred for these intruders, fueled by the past days’ oppression, drove them to fight with unrelenting fury.

Despite their strength, the remaining Violet Sun Sect members were demoralized by Wei Renxiao’s death and quickly overwhelmed by the villagers’ relentless assault.

Within half an hour, the Su Family Village had eradicated the Violet Sun Sect members at the cost of twenty-three injuries.

“Chief, there’s still one Violet Sun Sect member left,” Su Zheng reported.

The core members of the Su Family Village hesitated. They knew he was referring to Zhao Xueqing.

“Over the past few days, Sister Zhao hasn’t targeted our village, and she didn’t come with them today,” Su Qianqian pleaded. “Besides, she’s Su Luo’s senior sister. She was the one who brought Su Luo into the Violet Sun Sect.”

“But we’ve killed the others from the Violet Sun Sect,” Su Zheng countered. “If we let her go, what if she reports us?”

The core members of the Su Family Village were torn.

After a moment of thought, Su Yan spoke, “Bring her here. We’ll talk to her and decide afterward.”

There was some bond between Zhao Xueqing and the Su Family Village, and they couldn’t be too heartless.

While they sent someone to “invite” Zhao Xueqing, the villagers searched the bodies of Wei Renxiao and the others.

As expected, Wei Renxiao, being a high-ranking member of the Violet Sun Sect and a powerful cultivator, had considerable wealth.

The most valued item they found was a cultivation technique manual.

“The Flowing Light Sword Technique,” Su Zheng read aloud. “This sword technique emphasizes speed. Once mastered, the sword moves as fast as a stream of light.”

“A sword technique?” Su Zheng gasped.

Sword techniques were rare and highly sought after in the cultivation world.

“What’s this?” Su Qing suddenly exclaimed, drawing everyone’s attention.

He had found a small vial in Wei Renxiao’s belongings. Inside were three drops of amber-colored, blood-like liquid.

At that moment, far away in the Misty Territory, Su Mu’s consciousness trembled, and his spiritual energy fluctuated involuntarily.

“This aura…” Su Mu was shocked.

From those three drops of blood-like liquid, Su Mu could sense a dense, powerful life force, indicating that these blood droplets were alive and of an extremely high grade.

This discovery sent ripples through Su Mu’s mind.

The members of the Su Family Village were unaware of Su Mu’s reaction.

“What is this?” they wondered, staring at the mysterious liquid.

“I don’t know, but it seems extraordinary,” Su Qianqian speculated.

“Regardless of what it is, we should offer it to the Divine Tree Master,” Su Qianqian suggested. “If Wei Renxiao valued it so highly, it might be something truly valuable—perhaps something that could be useful to the Divine Tree Master.”

“Agreed,” Su Qing and Su Zheng nodded, recognizing the importance of the item.

Without the Divine Tree Master, they wouldn’t have been able to kill Wei Renxiao.

“Then let’s offer this vial to the Divine Tree Master,” Su Yan decided. “Su Yao, you were the first to be acknowledged by the Divine Tree Master. You should take it to the Misty Territory.”

“Alright,” Su Yao agreed.

Her broader knowledge led her to suspect that the liquid might be the blood of a powerful demon beast, though even she couldn’t determine its exact nature.

As they discussed, someone brought Zhao Xueqing to them.

Zhao Xueqing’s face was filled with shock. Although she had always known the Su Family Village was extraordinary, learning that they had killed Wei Renxiao still left her stunned. Moreover, the village seemed almost unscathed.

The idea that they had managed to kill a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator with virtually no losses was astounding.

Su Family Village became even more enigmatic in Zhao Xueqing’s eyes.

“Perhaps even Su Luo doesn’t fully understand her own family,” Zhao Xueqing thought.

She had previously asked Su Luo about her family’s situation, but Su Luo didn’t seem to know much either.
