Chapter 611 Violet Retribution Hydrangeas

After all, with him here, even if something went wrong, he would be able to mitigate it.

"But then why didn\'t you say so from the beginning?", Feng Yi raised her eyebrows as she knew he likely was long since watching this situation unfold.

"Because I wanted to give you the opportunity to experience what it is like to target someone who is protected, while under stress and urgency", he chuckled with a bright grin on his face, adding "Well done"

Her eyes narrowed at his grinning face with a smile of her own, that was both grateful and playfully thorny.

The others finished the remaining cultists quite fast and surrounded Wu Long as Wu Mengqi clung to him, craving her usual doze of skinship.

The remaining 10 cultists who were protecting the circle looked at each other with shocked expressions, as they saw Wu Long confront the Blood Demon before, thus his appearance here was unexpected to say the least.

Not to mention that his words implied that they were going to leisurely test their powers against the corpse puppet.

Meanwhile those in the circle continued chanting, and after a minute, a finger of the corpse puppet moved, and then it stiffly rose from the coffin.

The fight against it was not as hard as the beauties initially expected. It had the speed and physical strength of an Essence Awakening Realm cultivator, and it durability was way beyond anything they ever fought against, but that was it.

It could not use techniques, Profound Qi or even think for itself, moving according to the will of one of the cultists in the circle.

When they sufficiently gained experience and finally completely broke the puppet, the remaining cultists were swiftly disposed of.

"So this is...", Hua Ziyan then turned her gaze toward the bush of beautiful violet flowers in the middle of the lake.

"Yes, the Violet Retribution Hydrangeas", Wu Long nodded, his eyes shining with appreciation for the hard work of the gardeners.

"I don\'t understand, if it is a powerful medicinal ingredient, shouldn\'t it grow in a Spiritual Land?", Shen Min asked with a bit of confusion.

"Hahaha, not all good natural treasures grow in Spiritual Lands, although a lot of them do. But in this case, it does grow in one, you are standing on it", Wu Long chuckled, as they turned surprised gazes to him.

"Let me show you", he smiled seeing those gazes and they approached the side of the lake.

The rain has long since stopped as Wu Long used the Wind Rune to push the residual storm away, and the waterfall smoothly entered the water as a long downward stream instead of splashing.

As the surface of the lake turned still, it became transparent, allowing the beauties to see a light blue glow insanely deep within.

"This is...", Lian Zhiqiu gasped as she saw enormous roots spanning the entire lake and its ginormous depth.

"These are the roots of the Violet Retribution Hydrangeas, and that at the bottom is the eye of the dragon vein of this Spiritual Land", he chuckled, further explaining what they were seeing.

"So... this one bush hogs the Spiritual Qi of the entire Spiritual Land?", Wu Mengqi asked with raised eyebrows to which he nodded.

"Mm, but the cultists were also responsible for its much more rapid growth as they poured Demonic Cores and special extracts made of Medicinal Plants there", Wu Long added, explaining the reason for the relative lack of Demonic Beasts in this part of the continent.

"Hmm? I would think they would also make human sacrifices... considering their tastes in cultivation techniques and overall practice... which honestly puts me off from consuming anything made from that plant", Wu Mengqi said as she pondered on the nature of this cult.

"Hahaha, they would if that was a suitable sustenance, but this plant would wither, as corpses carry and produce Death Qi that it cannot withstand. It is also the reason they only threw in Demonic Cores and not corpses. Throwing blood is also no good as it would contaminate the water", he lightly laughed, as she was definitely right in her assumptions.

"Step a bit away from the lake and don\'t approach for some time", he instructed them.

Wu Long then floated to the boulder in the center of the lake, and dropped a single droplet from a porcelain bottle that he had Yu Huan refine beforehand,and the bush first glowed with a bright light and then produced a profound ripple, its flowers that were only half-opened before, opening up and fully blooming as a wonderful aroma pushed away the strong stench of blood and filled the entire grotto.

And then, the grotto started shuddering, after which a powerful torrent of concentrated Spiritual Qi rose from the lake and high into the sky, creating a deadly zone in the form of a pillar supporting the sky, as the plant stopped absorbing all the Spiritual Land\'s output to bloom its flowers, the entire mountain range shuddering from the sudden release.

Wu Long, however was completely fine on the boulder as it blocked that flow since there were roots under it. His beauties on the shore looked at the torrent with shock and feeling chill, as such a powerful one would surely kill even a Mortal Transcendence Realm cultivator.

"Hehe, I will gratefully accept it then", Wu Long chuckled, plucking the flowers with a jade knife, and carefully putting them away separately in jade boxes.

This immediately caused a decline in the strength of the torrent of Spiritual Qi, and by the time he finished collecting all of the flowers, the former lake, now a giant empty space with roots, turned silent again, the waterfall, once more free from Wu Long\'s control, falling to the very depths of the abyss below.

"Well then, let\'s clean up and go back", he turned to his beauties with a smile, as they looked at him with still wide eyes from what just happened.
