Chapter 608: Chapter 610: Mother-in-law Is an Old Witch?

“Master, Li Mountain is here!” Chen Daoheng said.

The curtain of the palanquin was pulled open by Li Minglian, and Yang Yan stepped out.

He stood at the foot of the mountain, gazing at Li Mountain before him.

Li Mountain!

The entire mountain was engulfed by lush trees, an endless sea of green leaves and towering trees as far as the eye could see.

It stretched upward from the base of the mountain!

The peak of Li Mountain was impossible to see with the naked eye!

All that could be seen was the sky above shrouded in clouds and mist, disappearing into the unknown!

After Yang Yan got down, Li Minglian, Li Mingxin, Murong, and Qian Rong followed him out of the palanquin.

“Brother Yang, do you need us to accompany you inside?” Murong asked.

They knew of Li Mountain’s uniqueness, hence the question!

If it were just a regular area, they wouldn’t have asked, and would have simply followed him in!

However, Li Mountain was too special. If they followed him in, they feared they might not only be unable to help but also become a burden to Yang Yan!

“No need, you all wait for me in the nearby city,” Yang Yan said calmly.

He was going to see his wife and mother-in-law, no need to bring unrelated people!

“Alright, Master!”

Bai He approached.

“Sir, let me escort you for a while!”

Yang Yan nodded slightly, understanding that Bai He was worried about possible dangers at the foot of Li Mountain.

He wanted to enter first to scout ahead for Yang Yan!

Bai He’s cultivation was far superior to Murong and Qian Rong’s!

“Very well.”

Bai He led the way as the two approached Li Mountain.

As they got closer, the air seemed to condense!

“Sir, there might be dangers on Li Mountain, please be careful!” Bai He reminded him.

Yang Yan naturally noticed it too. The entire Li Mountain was full of trees, yet there wasn’t a single sound from birds or beasts.

Even as the wind blew, the trees and leaves didn’t move an inch!

*If there were no issues, no one would believe it!*

“Hm.”

Bai He stopped at the edge of entering Li Mountain, while Yang Yan stepped inside alone.

As he entered, his silhouette was hidden by the towering tree branches and leaves.

The sunlight in the sky couldn’t penetrate through.

The surroundings appeared dim and cool, very cool!

The deeper Yang Yan went, the cooler he felt.

Of course!

To him, it was refreshing; to others, it would not be refreshing!

But rather chilling!

The back of the neck tingled with cold!

A different person might have had their hair standing on end, *becoming paranoid!*

Especially since Yang Yan also felt a continual sense of being watched.

Like something was watching him, observing him!

Not just one!

“At least ten!”

Yang Yan sensed the observation coming from all directions, and the more he climbed, the more things were watching!

Simultaneously, hushed whispers started to echo, faint as wisps of silk!

“Hey, hey, wake up already, someone is coming in!”

“What are you all doing, why aren’t you paying attention. If Sister Immortal Bird finds out, you’ll all be punished!”

“Wow, someone really broke in!

Li Mountain has stood for so many years, no one dares to trespass anymore!

Unexpectedly, today, someone came again!

I’ll go stop him!” This was the voice of a young man.

“It’s a young man, quite handsome!

Wait!

Don’t be in a hurry to stop him, let me take another look!

I haven’t seen a man in so many years, it’s making my heart flutter!” This was a young woman’s voice.

“Lovesick fool!

Don’t forget what the Saint Mother said, those who enter uninvited, those who come without invitation.

Die!

Moreover, Li Xian, don’t forget you’re a tree, not a human!” This was a voice filled with authority and coldness.

“Who forgot, I just think he’s handsome, it’d be a shame for him to die!

I just want to look a bit more!” The young woman’s voice rang again.

“Indeed, it would be a pity, if only we could use him as fertilizer it would be good!”

“Fertilizer? Grandma Ku, you’re too cruel!

Such a handsome man, using him as fertilizer, doesn’t your heart ache?”

“Who’s being cruel? I’m doing this for my little grandson!

Besides, he’s dead, why should I care!

Better to plant my grandson’s seed on his grave.

Let the little one grow strong, by then it’s like he’s alive for a second life!”

“No, no.

Your grandson can sprout and grow strong anywhere.

Such a handsome person dying is truly a waste from Heaven!

Don’t kill him, drive him away instead!”

“Xing Xian is right, let’s just scare him, then drive him away.”

“No, no, the Saint Mother said those who trespass should die.

If we drive him away, how do we explain it if Sister Immortal Bird asks?”

“Also, if we let him go, there’s no way to explain it to Sister Immortal Bird!”

“Sister Immortal Bird is cultivating at the mountain summit, how could she know what’s happening here.

If asked, just say we just appeared and scared him.

He ran away in no time.

That’s a reasonable explanation too!”

“You women are really foolish!

Sister Immortal Bird’s divine skills are vast, how could she not know about Li Mountain’s matters.

Moreover, there’s that one tree!

Sister Immortal Bird might have already heard our conversation!”

Their words flowed non-stop, their debates endless.

“Wait, speaking of which, where’s that person gone?” At this point, another voice sounded.

“He’s only been here a moment, where’s he gone? Could he have moved too fast?

While we weren’t paying attention, he entered the array?”

“No way, no way!

If he entered the array, Brother Jing Ji wouldn’t treat him kindly, be courteous!

He would die inside!”

“Quick, find him!”

Immediately, the previously immobile trees began to move, each branch swaying.

Causing the leaves to quiver, creating a rustling noise!

“Turns out it’s a group of tree spirits!” Yang Yan thought to himself, blending into the void.

His figure suddenly appeared, standing next to a swaying large tree, leaning against it.

“Who are you looking for?” he said.

In an instant, the trees became still.

The surrounding sounds abruptly disappeared.

“Silent now? I already know who you are.

Come out and meet me, I just have something to ask you!” Yang Yan said hauntingly.

After speaking, there was a moment of silence around him.

Yet within a few breaths, figures began to appear.

They were trees, some unable to move, only extending some of their roots above the ground.

“Hello, young master, I am Xing Xian!” A tree root, blossoming with a flower bud, greeted Yang Yan.

Its voice came from the void.

“Hello, young master, I am Li Xian!” Another gray tree root appeared in front of Yang Yan.

Soon after, a human face manifested on the tree beside him.

“Hello, young brother!”

Bang!

The earth trembled, and an old tree root extended out.

“I am Grandma Ku!”

Before long, numerous tree roots appeared on the ground, and on the surrounding trees, nearly half revealed human faces!

“What kind of place is Li Mountain? Why so many tree demons!

And why aren’t they in the Southern Domain, but within the Central Continent?

Is this the handiwork of Li Mountain’s Saint Mother?

Then where is Li Mountain’s Saint Mother?

Could she be the same?

Is she an old demon?” Yang Yan scanned the tree demons continually appearing before him, thinking.

If the mother-in-law is just like them, wouldn’t she be an old tree spirit…

“Young master, why did you trespass into Li Mountain?

Did you not inquire about the rules here before coming?” Xing Xian’s voice asked Yang Yan.

Rules?

“I inquired, only to know that one must not trespass here,” Yang Yan said.

The old dry tree root on the ground shook.

“It’s more than not trespassing, those who come without invitation will die.

I advise you to leave quickly, securing your life is paramount!

Don’t be fooled by our seemingly kind demeanor, speaking to you nicely!

If you insist on staying, we’ll also take action to expel you.

If we strike too hard, you’ll end up as fertilizer for my little grandson!”

“Yes, young master, we see you as a good person, refined and handsome.

It’s out of good intentions that we’re warning you, without laying hands on you.

Otherwise, the moment you entered, you’d already be dead!” the tree root named Li Xian also remarked.

No wonder no one dares to trespass Li Mountain, likely not reaching the mountain yet and being blocked by this group of tree spirits!

For those who do enter, it’s even more dangerous!

Understanding all this, Yang Yan was unfazed.

“Then you may be disappointed, for I will not leave!

Because today I came here to see my wife, and at the same time, to visit my mother-in-law!

No matter who tries to stop me, it will be useless!”
