Jiang Zuo’s series of actions had shocked many people. Even now, so of them still hadn’t fully processed what had happened. The man was simply insane.
anwhile, those who had snapped out of it were already about to reach the Ten Thousand Flowers Fruit.
Blade Master Hai Bian sighed by the lake. ’I can’t go, can I? Never mind, safety cos first.’
Then, Blade Master Hai Bian retreated, taking a few of his friends with him.
The mont Jiang Zuo’s ssage went out, everyone in the group chat started making calls or using ergency communication devices. The ssage was simple: stay away from the lake.
Jiang Ran and the young man were also nearing the Ten Thousand Flowers Fruit.
Just then, the young man grabbed Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran was stunned. "Fellow Daoist, what’s the aning of this?"
"Retreat."
Then the young man turned and left.
Jiang Ran was taken aback. He glanced reluctantly at the Ten Thousand Flowers Fruit, but finally gritted his teeth and retreated with him.
It wasn’t just them; many others retreated at the sa ti.
By the ti these people had withdrawn from the lake’s surface, soone had finally obtained the Ten Thousand Flowers Fruit. The person grasped the Ten Thousand Flowers Fruit, plucked it, and it was in his hand.
"Haha, it’s mine!"
Laughing, the man prepared to flee. His true Cultivation was not low, and he had a powerful background, so he wasn’t worried about being followed.
Blade Master Hai Bian sighed again at this outco, only to be chided by the friends beside him.
"This is the danger you were talking about?"
"If we hadn’t pulled back, we might have succeeded with our strength."
Blade Master Hai Bian gave a bitter smile and didn’t try to argue.
「Elsewhere」
"Why did you do that?" Jiang Ran demanded, looking at the young man.
They had just handed the Ten Thousand Flowers Fruit over to soone else. He had been so close to succeeding.
The young man shook his head. "I don’t know. I just received a ssage telling us to retreat."
Just as Jiang Ran was about to ask more, the lake’s surface suddenly began to tremble. Countless tentacles shot up from the lakebed. In that instant, the lake beca a vision of Hell, a forbidden zone for the living.
In that mont, everyone still there was reduced to dry bones. There were no exceptions.
Seeing this sudden turn of events, the ones who had been chiding Blade Master Hai Bian froze, their eyes wide with disbelief.
Even Blade Master Hai Bian himself found it a little hard to believe.
He was so glad he had trusted the warning.
Jiang Ran’s face was also a mask of terror. He had been relatively close, and he had felt that aura of death with chilling clarity.
Then, Jiang Ran cupped his fist toward the young man. "I misunderstood you, Fellow Daoist. Thank you for saving my life."
The young man shook his head. "I was also called back. I never imagined such a terrifying entity lay beneath the Ten Thousand Flowers Fruit. I feel like the lake has changed. Let’s get out of here first."
He was right. The lake was different. The restriction had vanished.
The vines began to grow outward at a frantic pace.
Everyone watching the live stream was left with a lingering sense of fear. Before long, the stream cut out; the strear had to start running for their life.
Even before fleeing for their life, they didn’t forget to ask for tips.

Blade Master Hai Bian: "I’m starting to really admire Fellow Daoist Po Xiao. What about you guys?"
Demon Cultivator Mo Yan posted a petrified emoji: "I... I... I still haven’t recovered. A lot of people died this ti, right? I warned them, but they actually called an idiot. I wonder how many of them are dead in there now."
Liu Yiyi sent a shivering emoji: "How did Fellow Daoist Po Xiao see through it? I can’t understand it at all. It’s a good thing we believed him, even though I got called nas too."
Chi Xue Child: "Fellow Daoist Po Xiao must have escaped by now, right? I want to go beco his follower."
Blade Master Hai Bian: "Fellow Daoist Po Xiao probably left a long ti ago. He vanished in the blink of an eye right after he went out. Holy shit."
Chi Xue Child imdiately replied: "What’s wrong, Fellow Daoist? You’re even swearing."
"Fellow Daoist Po Xiao went back! He charged into the vines! Oh my God," Blade Master Hai Bian exclaid, his words a bit incoherent.
He had sent it as a voice ssage.
At that mont, Blade Master Hai Bian was hiding sowhere alone, truly shocked by this junior.
The situation now was completely different from before. Everyone was fleeing, everyone feared the vines. For soone to dare charge in at a ti like this... You have to understand, the vines were now blotting out the sky.
Going in there was suicide.
Yes, Jiang Zuo had charged right in. His eyes held a hint of madness, a hint of excitent.
This wasn’t a Blood-drinking Vine, and what grew upon it was not a Ten Thousand Flowers Fruit. It was the Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit, nurtured by the master of the Immortal Spirit Cave Mansion.
The Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit: one Ten Thousand Flowers Fruit, one Ten Thousand Colors Leaf.
The Ten Thousand Flowers Fruit wasn’t the real prize; it was rely the nutrient. The Ten Thousand Colors Leaf was the true fruit, and what it nurtured was the Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit.
Plucking the Ten Thousand Flowers Fruit had activated the true vine, causing it to begin nurturing the Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit.
Jiang Zuo hadn’t really studied what use the Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit was to others, but for him, it had a heaven-defying effect.
The Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit could allow him to generate Chaos Qi.
He had failed to obtain it in his previous life. Now that the Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit was right before his eyes in this life, he could not possibly give up.
As long as there was even a sliver of hope, he had to try and seize it.
Facing the countless tentacles, Jiang Zuo felt no fear. ’If it’s just these tentacles, I definitely have a chance.’
Jiang Zuo’s appearance instantly alard so of the people watching from a distance.
Everyone was startled.
"Who is that person? Is he going there to die?"
"Isn’t that the person who just brought the vines under control? Heavens, what is he trying to do?"
Jiang Ran also stared blankly at Jiang Zuo, then said excitedly, "Help investigate. I want to know who this person is."
At this mont, it wasn’t just Jiang Ran; everyone wanted to know who this man was.
This person who dared to face the vines of death with only a Tier One Cultivation.
This person who was doing what no one else dared to do.
Who on earth was he?
If he survived—no, even if he just lasted a little longer—this person was destined to be rembered.
If he managed to survive, his na would surely shake the world.

"Get on the stream. We’ll watch and talk there." Blade Master Hai Bian left a link to an encrypted stream room.
Soon, everyone in the group chat could see it. Jiang Zuo was now about to make contact with the vines.
Everyone was watching, unsure if sothing would happen to Jiang Zuo.
As he faced the vines, Jiang Zuo beca completely calm.
He walked toward the vines step by step, and the vines, in turn, seed to be watching him.
Then, countless tentacles moved, and Jiang Zuo moved with them.
The tentacles all moved to kill Jiang Zuo, but he would always dodge them a step ahead before advancing rapidly.
Jiang Zuo stepped onto a tentacle and began making his way up the main vine. The Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit was at the top.
However, he first had to avoid the vine’s tentacles.
The frequency of Jiang Zuo’s evasions increased, and the range of his movents grew wider and wider.
It was becoming difficult for him to get close to the Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit.
’It’s no use. I can’t do it. But... am I really going to miss this opportunity just like this?’
Jiang Zuo was unwilling to accept it.
A flash of determination crossed Jiang Zuo’s eyes. ’I’ll risk it all!’
At that mont, Jiang Zuo once again headed for the Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit. He could sense a vine up ahead that he couldn’t dodge. However, if he could just get past it, the Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit would be his.
Soon, Jiang Zuo reached the spot. He, as well as everyone watching, saw it.
There was one tentacle that Jiang Zuo could not avoid.
