Chapter 1017: Chapter 532: The Intimidating Power of Severed Heads (Part 2)

"I know, but in that urgent moment, how could I have considered those things?"

As Lan Yao became increasingly irritable, the Third Elder stepped forward.

"Gu Sheng, blame me for overlooking the defensive power of the Yinchen Wood. At the time, you were in seclusion, Shi Lou and the others were breaking through, and I was focused on protecting you. When I saw someone attacking, I panicked and forgot about this matter. Lan Yao, it was my oversight. I apologize to you."

Upon hearing this, Lan Yao waved his hand repeatedly.

"Third Elder, it’s not your fault. If anyone’s to blame, it’s Gu Sheng. He didn’t make it clear."

"Yes, indeed, I didn’t explain it well. Blame me."

Gu Sheng took responsibility and then smiled, "It doesn’t matter who’s to blame, as long as everyone is fine. Now, Purple Mist Peak has been removed from Jianghu. Their heads will serve as a deterrent to those who come later, so everyone shouldn’t worry too much."

"Gu Sheng, you can ignore other sects, but not Heisha Sect. Zhang Ping harbors resentment and uses despicable methods. Such a person cannot be left alive."

After some thought, Gu Sheng nodded, "You are right. Zhang Ping indeed cannot be left alive, but there’s no rush. His life will eventually be mine."

"When you go to Heisha Sect, I’ll go with you."

"You’re not going back to the Elf Clan?"

"No rush."

Gu Sheng did not ask further, just nodded lightly.

That night, someone attacked Stone Village again, but Gu Sheng and the others did not show up.

As expected, the numerous heads served as a deterrent, and those people quickly withdrew.

Hearing the footsteps gradually fade away, Gu Sheng curved his lips.

"It seems the method is still effective. If there are any more who don’t have eyes, we’ll cut off their heads and hang them outside Stone Village."

Upon hearing this, Er Gou rubbed the goosebumps on his arm.

"Brother Sheng, this method is too terrifying, isn’t it? It makes me afraid to get up at night."

"Coward, then just wet the bed."

After Gu Sheng finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.

After a few drinks, the Third Elder approached Lan Yao and produced a peachwood box from behind him.

"Lan Yao, thank you for guarding Stone Village for me. This is a small token of my appreciation. I hope you don’t mind."

Seeing the box in his hand, Lan Yao waved his hand repeatedly.

"Third Elder, you’re too kind."

"It’s not about being kind, just a small token. Take it."

As he said this, the Third Elder pushed the box directly into Lan Yao’s hands.

Lan Yao initially wanted to return it, but upon feeling the aura within the box, his hand suddenly stopped.

"Third Elder, is this the Spirit Root of the Spirit Tree?"

Seeing his eyes light up, the Third Elder smiled and nodded.

"It is. This was brought back by Elder Shi many years ago. It’s known to be a good thing, but unfortunately, the soil of Stone Village isn’t promising. When planted, there was no response, so we could only keep it stored. It is said that the Elf Clan has abundant Spiritual Energy and can nurture all things under heaven and earth. This is perfect for you, otherwise, keeping it with me would be wasteful."

Hearing this, Lan Yao hesitated.

He knew he shouldn’t accept it, but it was so tempting that it made him extremely conflicted.

Seeing him like this, Gu Sheng couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

"The Third Elder gave it to you, so just take it. You’re not an outsider, so why be polite? I’ve never seen a Spirit Root. Open it and let me see."

Lan Yao nodded and carefully opened the box.

As soon as the box was opened, a unique aura of the Wood Element instantly filled the entire space.

Looking at the seemingly ordinary tree root, Gu Sheng poked it with his finger.

"Such an ugly thing has such strong Spiritual Power?"

Hearing this, Lan Yao couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.

"Can this thing be judged by its looks? Don’t underestimate it based on its appearance. It may look ordinary, but it has great use."
