Chapter 549: Chapter 549 – Divine Pine Soldier

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

 Seeing the High-Temperature Birds fly up into the sky, the Tree Soldier waved its hands. Immediately, an incomparably large leaf flew out from the center of the palace and blocked the High-Temperature Birds’ path of escape. Soon, the leaf squashed the birds like a giant mountain.

Due to the green light emitted by this huge leaf, the High-Temperature birds couldn’t fly away at all, and were eventually crushed by the leaves, falling and bursting into pieces of flesh.

 However, this would not be the end of it.

 The Soldier shot out a leaf that landed on a fallen bird.

 Soon after, the leaf became very bright, forming a slender beam of light that shot off into the distance.

 In the next moment, before Wei Xiao Bei could respond, the green light pillar had shone on his body.

This surprised Wei Xiaobei a little, but shortly after, he was relieved that the green slender beam of light was not lethal.

 However, his expression immediately changed.

 The reason was simple. When the light pillar was pointed at him, no matter how he moved, the pillar would follow.

 He knew that he had been exposed!

 This was something he never imagined.

 These soldiers actually possessed this kind of ability. They could actually find my connection with the birds and use a light pillar to lock onto my location.

 Wei Xiao Bei gave up his plans to run away.

 Those Tree Stump Soldiers dug themselves from the ground, around Wei Xiao Bei’s location!

 Eh, ground travel?

 It should be.

 If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles!

 Activate Enlightenment!

 Wei Xiao Bei opened his eyes. After staring at the Tree Stump Soldiers, he saw that they had needle-like leaves. When they attacked, they punctured holes in the bodies of the High-Temperature birds.

 ….

 After looking at the Soldier’s status panel, Wei Xiao Bei knew that he had encountered big trouble.

 Many people might not know what the Mt. Song Monarch was, but he knew.

 There were five famous mountains in China, and they were also called the Five Sacred Mountains.

 Mt. Tai in the west, Mt. Heng in the south, Mt. Hua in the east, Mt. Heng in the North, and Mt. Song in the center.1

 These five mountains were not normal mountains. In mythology, each mountain had a god and an army.

 The Great Emperor that managed life and death was located on Mt. Tai. Located on Mt. Heng in the south, was the Great Emperor that managed the boundary of the realms. He also managed all aquatic creatures. Located on Mt. Hua, was the Great Emperor who managed the five metals as well as pottery and casting. He also managed all feathered creatures. Located on Mt. Heng in the north, the Great Emperor managed the Yangtze and Yellow rivers. He also managed the four-legged creatures as well as snakes and insects.

 Finally, the Great Emperor of Mt. Song, also known as the Mt. Song Monarch; he managed lakes, mountains, and forests.

 In other words, the Great Emperor of Mt. Song managed these Plant Monsters.

 It was no wonder that there were Divine Pine Soldiers patrolling the place.

 In truth, these 10+ Divine Soldiers each had their own unique characteristics.

 Other than pine trees, there were also cypress trees, cedar trees, ginkgo trees, and others.

 Naturally, their names were different but their origins were the same.

 The pine tree was called the Divine Pine Soldier. The cypress trees were called the Divine Cypress Soldier, each depending on what tree they were from.

 The leader of these Divine Soldiers was transformed from a banyan tree.

 These Divine Soldiers were about to attack Wei Xiao Bei, but he immediately stared them down using [Enlightenment], which caused them to lose a bit of confidence. The Divine Banyan Soldier looked at Wei Xiao Bei in amazement. Afterward, he came to an understanding. His original ferocious expression became a bit more respectful. The soldier appeared to have cupped his hands and greeted Wei Xiao Bei while asking, “Sire, are you the Divine Soldier of Lord Immortal Tiger Deity’s 7th Managing Fairy Maiden?”

 Eh?

 Hearing this, Wei Xiao Bei’s attitude suddenly changed. He immediately came to an understanding.

 It appears that the 7th Managing Fairy Maiden’s proof hanging around his neck had been effective.

 “My humble self is indeed so. Dare I ask if you are a patrolling soldier of the Mt. Song Monarch?”

 The proof on Wei Xiao Bei’s neck flashed as he cupped his hands and greeted back.

 “It is indeed so! There must be some kind of misunderstanding. However, why has Sire come to Mt. Song?”

 Although he had the proof of the 7th Managing Fairy Maiden, it seemed that the patrolling soldiers had a system, and the Divine Banyan Soldier still asked.

 Although they were both in the same system, they still belonged to different lords.

 They were like sister companies. Although they had the same blood, they were still different from each other. The accountants of company A cannot manage the finances of company B.

 On the other hand, Wei Xiao Bei felt that he did not want to give the other party face after his High-Temperature Birds had been killed.

 In short, Wei Xiao Bei was in a bit of an awkward position.

 “Ah, indeed our previous encounter was a misunderstanding!”

 At this time, Wei Xiao Bei had to mention the word misunderstanding. Otherwise, he would be questioning his own morality and cause more trouble.

 After all, this place was their territory.

 “A guest has come from afar. Do not be impolite.”

 Just when Wie Xiao Bei was pondering if he should start a fight to prevent the situation from getting awkward, a loud voice sounded from the top of Taishi Mountain.

 In just a few breaths, a cloud had floated down from the top of the mountain. A beautiful middle-aged woman in a green palace dress appeared, standing on top of it. These words had come from her.

 Seeing the woman, the soldiers quickly lied prostate and kneeled down saying, “We respectfully welcome the Outside Patrol Managing Immortal!”

 It could be said that compared to the Ming Lun Envoy that turned into golden light, this Immortal wearing the dress appeared more divine.

 “You should all withdraw first.”

 The Immortal pressed down on the cloud and took a look.

 “We shall observe Lady Immortal’s wishes.”

 Those patrolling soldiers that were looking at Wei Xiao Bei with killing intent appeared like mice being chased by cats as they obeyed her orders. They burrowed back into the ground and disappeared.

 They should have used ground travel to escape.

 “I am the Mt. Song Monarch Office’s Outside Patrol Managing Immortal, my surname is He. May I know this visitor’s name?”

 After driving away the patrolling soldiers, the Immortal smiled and asked.

 At this time, Wei Xiao Bei naturally did not dare use [Enlightenment] to inspect her as there was no reason for the other party to lie to him.

 However, just like that should I call her Immortal He?

 Wei Xiao Bei also knew that this Immortal He might not be one of the 8 Immortals who crossed the sea in Daoist Mythology.

 “This humble one is named Wei Xiao Bei. Immortal is too polite.”

 Although Wei Xiao Bei could not feel the Immortal’s aura, he knew that someone who managed the outer patrol of Mt. Song was not a simple figure.

 “Can you let me see your proof?”

 Immortal He looked at Wei Xiao Bei and smiled.

 Proof?

 Wei Xiao Bei took down the stone card on his neck and passed it onto Immortal He.

 Immortal He grasped it and took a look. She nodded her head and returned it to Wei Xiao Bei, “This is indeed the Ming Lun Envoy’s proof.”

 “However, you are not a subordinate of the Northern Xuan Fan Office. You should be someone from the secular world. To show Ming Lun some face, this immortal will not make things difficult for you. However, you cannot come up Taishi Mountain, otherwise, even I cannot protect you.”

 Before Wei Xiao Bei relaxed, Immortal He’s words had made a total 360 and laid bare her true identity.

 Luckily, Immortal He should know who the Ming Lun Envoy was. She was the current 7th Managing Fairy Maiden in the Northern Xuan Huan Office. Their relationship wouldn’t be bad, or else she would not have said it like this.

 Additionally, the Ming Lun Envoy’s name was actually Ming Lun which surprised him a bit.

 In truth, Wei Xiao Bei had received benefits from the local god, Lord Shing Wong and the Ming Lun Envoy.

 “Ah, this humble one will immediately leave.”

 In truth, even if he was to be sent up, he would not go.

 Just the power of the patrolling soldiers alone was quite strong. Thinking about it logically, there were sure to be a lot of horrors in the palace.

 Just this Immortal He was quite powerful, let alone others. If Wei Xiao Bei did not use [Enlightenment] he could not tell how strong she was.

 Moreover, she was just the outer patrol manager.

 It must be known that the Great Emperors were big shots that occupied territories. Their subordinates were in great numbers.

 Since there was an outer patrol manager, there should also be inner patrol managers and other managers as well. It would not be below 7.

 Additionally, there was also the Mt. Song Monarch, one of the monarchs of the Five Sacred Mountains.

 In short, Wei Xiao Bei had no odds of success.

 Since the other party had said so, Wie Xiao Bei did not slow down and immediately went down.

 However, Wei Xiao Bei was currently thinking about another something else; Shi Yan Zhen’s matter.

 Since Immortal He was the manager of the outer patrol, then she might know.

 Wei Xiao Bei tried asking and she did indeed know, “A young monk? I saw one previously. I think he should be on the Shaoshi Mountain.

 However, before Wei Xiao Bei turned around, Immortal He warned him, “You must take note, you cannot simply go up Shaoshi Mountain…”

 Can’t simply go up Shaoshi Mountain? Then did this mean I need to prepare before going up, or is some underlying meaning?

 Wei Xiao Bei moved towards Shaoshi Mountains with these thoughts in his head.
