“Your hands are stained with the blood of our Spirit Clan, and you still dare to come and ask to see the Clan Head?”
“I think you came to test the strength of our Spirit Clan, hoping to harm us again!”
The man in the leading position didn’t believe David’s words at all.
The other four Spirit Clan cultivators became even angrier after hearing this.
The wooden stick in his hand shook slightly, and the flow of wood attribute spiritual energy became more and more concentrated.
The tension in the air instantly increased, as if fighting would break out at any time.
Jiang Xuelan frowned, stepped forward, her ice blue divine light slightly turbulent, and said in a cold tone.
“Fellow Daoists, please pay attention to your words!”
“Not all humans are like you say.”
“We came here to discuss cooperation with the Spirit Race, not to harm them.”
“If you insist on stopping us, don’t blame us for being impolite!”
Jiang Xuelan was a little angry.
“You’re welcome?” A glimmer of disdain could be seen in the Spirit Clan leader’s eyes.
“You two humans? How dare you act so impudently in our Spirit Race territory?”
“I advise you to be sensible and leave immediately.”
“Otherwise, you will perish in this misty forest today and become food for the vegetation of our spirit race!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand, pointed the wooden stick at David, and shouted.
“Let’s do it!”
The other four Spirit Race cultivators immediately responded, waving their wooden sticks simultaneously.
Streams of green wood-elemental spiritual energy turned into sharp tendrils, quickly wrapping around David and Jiang Xuelan.
The vines moved at incredible speed, carrying a sharp aura, and arrived before them in an instant.
They tried to tie him tightly.
At the same time, the surrounding fog became thicker and thicker.
Countless tiny threads of wood-elemental spiritual energy also started to coil around them.
This created a large net that completely blocked their escape route.
“It seems we have no choice but to act.”
A glimmer of helplessness flashed in David’s eyes.
He didn’t want to make enemies with the Spirit Clan, but they insisted on getting in his way, so he had no choice but to retaliate.
He simply raised his hand, and the chaotic power within his body instantly surged out.
The purple light surged, forming a huge light shield that protected him and Jiang Xuelan.
Those attacking tendrils and spiritual threads, once they touched the purple light shield, were like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun.
It instantly vanished, turning into a wisp of spiritual energy, which was then absorbed by the power of chaos.
Seeing that, the Spirit Clan leader’s expression changed slightly, and a glimmer of surprise flashed in his eyes.
“What kind of power is this? This power can actually suppress our wood attribute spiritual power?”
He had never seen such power before.
Neither human spiritual power nor the power of other races had such a domineering restraining effect.
Their cherished wood-elemental spiritual power proved completely ineffective against this purple power.
“Daoist brothers, we do not wish to become your enemies, please do not obstruct us further.”
David’s voice remained calm, but his tone contained undeniable power.
“We came here today to discuss cooperation with Eldar.”
“This concerns the lives and deaths of the Spirit Race. If this important matter is delayed, you guys will not be able to bear the responsibility,” advised David.
“Alive or dead?” The Spirit Clan Leader sneered, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
“Our Spirit Race has lived in this forest for tens of thousands of years, weathering countless storms and remaining safe and sound.”
“How could there be a life and death crisis?”
“Stop spreading panic-inducing rumors. You think you can trick us into letting you pass? It’s not that easy!”
After saying that, he waved his wooden staff again, muttering an incantation.
Instantly, the surrounding ground began to shake violently.
Countless thick tree roots protruded from the ground, like giant poisonous snakes, and quickly attacked David and Jiang Xuelan.
The tree roots were thicker and tougher than the roots of the previous vines.
Its surface was covered in a layer of thick scales that shimmered with a faint green light, which clearly contained immense energy.
If hit, even a cultivator of the fifth level of the True Immortal Realm would be seriously injured.
Jiang Xuelan’s eyes turned cold, and she no longer hesitated.
The Ice God power within his body exploded instantly, and ice-blue divine light burst out.
It turned into countless sharp ice blades, slashing towards the attacking tree roots.
The “click-clack” sound continued.
The thick tree roots immediately froze into blocks of ice after being hit by the ice blade.
Then it shattered into pieces, turning into countless small ice shards that fell to the ground.
However, the tree roots seemed endless.
As one wave shattered, another wave crashed from underground, relentlessly attacking them.
