The appearance of Nine Heavens Nine Hells City was not long ago, and not many people saw it at the time.
Therefore, it did not attract much attention, and was later dismissed as a mirage, with no one caring.
Although some people had genuinely seen Nine Heavens Nine Hells City and were certain of its existence.
However, these were a minority, and they could not possibly link Nine Heavens Nine Hells City to Xiao Mo.
Therefore, Xiao Mo was not worried about this.
He certainly did not want Nine Heavens Nine Hells City to be exposed too early.
Otherwise, if the [Immortal Slaying Demonic Extermination Alliance] got scared and stopped moving, wouldn't that be no fun?
He planned to use Nine Heavens Nine Hells City to give the assembled troops of the [Immortal Slaying Demonic Extermination Alliance] a huge surprise.
By then, even if Nine Heavens Nine Hells City was truly exposed, it would be inconsequential.
As for those in the public chat who cursed him and wished he would die sooner, Xiao Mo did not care.
They were merely clowns who dared not reveal their true identities, and did not warrant his effort.
It was enough to treat them as a joke, given their actions, they likely wouldn't do anything commendable.
If these people dared to reveal their identities, Xiao Mo would personally send each of them a baptism from his Immortal Demonic battle team.
...
Woodman Tribe.
The trees here were obviously more lush than in other places.
The creatures living here also appeared very lively, and there were almost no natural enemies.
In the center of the tribe, a towering ancient tree about one hundred meters tall grew.
Its branches and leaves were luxuriant, and beneath its vast canopy was the core of the tribe – a giant stone tablet bearing the heart of the tribe.
At the same time, this was also the residence of the High Priest, the center of power for the entire tribe.
At this moment, in the High Priest's courtyard, four Woodmen, three males and one female, sat together, all looking at Mu Chunrou with disbelief.
The High Priest's first words upon returning from investigating the territorial forces from another world were to surrender the entire tribe to that territorial force.
Had this great High Priest gone mad? Or had she been corrupted by the evil forces from another world?
"High Priest, are you alright? Did you encounter something terrifying? Or were you corrupted by some power? So..."
Another female priest asked Mu Chunrou with great concern.
"So what? So I've gone mad? Am I mentally unstable?"
Mu Chunrou glanced at the female priest and asked indifferently.
The female priest stammered for a long time but could not utter a word.
However, what she was thinking was exactly what Mu Chunrou had said.
Mu Chunrou gave a self-deprecating laugh, scanned across the priests one by one, and then said solemnly:
"My mind is completely normal! And I have not been corrupted by any power!"
"Of course, I do not wish for our Woodman Tribe to become dependent on that Immortal Demonic tribe! But I have no choice, otherwise we will face a disaster leading to our extinction!"
Upon hearing Mu Chunrou's first sentence, the priests simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.
But the latter words caused the three male priests to frown simultaneously.
"High Priest! Isn't this statement a bit alarmist? Could a territorial force that only descended ten days ago threaten our mighty Woodman Tribe?"
The burly middle-aged priest who spoke had a flash of disdain in his eyes, clearly not believing that a territorial force could threaten the safety of the Woodman Tribe.
Then, another female priest spoke again.
"Yes! High Priest! Our tribe has six thousand people, with a defense force of three thousand Woodman warriors, and we four Spirit-rank experts, plus you and Mother, two Monarch-rank powerhouses. Can that territorial force be stronger than us?"
"Yes! This is clearly impossible!"
Following that, it was the male priest sitting opposite Mu Chunrou.
"In just ten days, it would be good if that territorial force could develop one Spirit-rank creature! I even suspect it doesn't have any Spirit-rank creatures in its territory!"
"Three! Soon to be four!"
Mu Chunrou extended three fingers and picked up where the priests left off.
"Perhaps tomorrow, this territorial force will have another Spirit-rank powerhouse!"
Mu Chunrou's confident tone immediately silenced the priests, and their faces were filled with shock.
They clearly knew that these territorial forces had only descended here for a mere ten days.
And this territorial force had managed to cultivate three or four Spirit-rank powerhouses in just ten days.
Such a development speed was simply terrifying!
However, this was merely potential terror and did not represent the strength to conquer the Woodman Tribe.
After a moment, the burly middle-aged male priest said in a deep voice:
"Even if this territorial force develops fast enough, this kind of strength is still incomparable to our tribe!"
"Although we will not proactively attack its territory, if this territorial force dares to treat us as enemies, it will face the mad retaliation of nature!"
"Priest Mu Ke!"
Mu Chunrou looked at the middle-aged male priest, sighed softly, and slowly stood up.
"Priest Mu Ke, priests! Do you know that Mount Basel has disappeared!"
As soon as this sentence was uttered, the faces of the four priests changed drastically, and they looked at each other.
They naturally knew of Mount Basel, it was one of the most majestic peaks in the Endless Abyss region.
With their intelligence, they naturally understood the deeper meaning of the High Priest's words.
Could it be that the Mount Basel mountain range was indeed destroyed by that territorial force?
"I... we did see that beam of light. Did it really come from that territorial force?"
"High Priest! Please tell me, is this true?"
Not only this female priest, but even the other three male priests were stunned by Mu Chunrou's words.
If the power of that beam of light was truly in the hands of that territorial force, then it would be a devastating disaster for the Woodman Tribe.
Undoubtedly, if that beam of light truly fell upon the tribe, all Woodmen in the tribe would perish instantly.
Even the strongest of the tribe, Mother of all Woodmen, would cease to exist along with the entire tribe.
This was because the power of that beam of light belonged to the gods.
Subsequently, Mu Chunrou recounted all her experiences in the Immortal Demonic tribe in detail.
She naturally focused on Xiao Mo's might and dominance, as well as the feeling of being shrouded in the shadow of death.
She actually wanted to bring back good news, but she could not deceive her people, nor could she deceive herself.
Because this matter concerned the future destiny of the entire Woodman Tribe.
Whether to survive or perish, this choice was a mere thought away.
One step to the left was stable survival, and one step to the right was true eternal damnation.
With the power of that beam of light hanging over them, the Woodman Tribe had no other choice.
However, they could not easily decide this matter. The final decision rested solely with Mother – the Ancient Tree of Nature...
