(Second update)

"Elder Yun is a powerful man in the True Immortal Stage who grew up after our clan moved. Although he is strong, you don't know all the secrets of the clan's past, and you are far inferior to those old people stationed on the Martial God Altar." Wu Kuihu said with a smile.

"Class leader, you mean..." Yun Zhongyue vaguely thought of something.

"Yes, when the clan relocated, a small number of clan members did not come together, but instead joined other sects. I think the Tang Dynasty master Yuan Tiangang is the descendant of this type of people." Wu Kuihu said.

When these outsiders were in front of him, he stopped talking and explained the key points, but did not mention the secrets of the past.

When Yun Zhongyue heard this, although she still had doubts in her heart, she did not ask much.

After her breath was completely curled, the atmosphere around her gradually relaxed, and Shen Luo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Man'er looked at him with a little apology in her eyes...

Chen Luo immediately smiled and shook his head gently, indicating that he didn't need to care.

"Master, what do you want us to see?" Wu Man'er asked.

"Silly kid, of course I'm looking at the sacred tree." Wu Kuihu said.

Wu Man'er walked forward with confusion on her face and looked at the sapling in the center. She didn't notice anything strange at first, but she quickly frowned and said in panic:

"Master, why is one missing?"

When Chen Luo and Jiang Shentian heard this, they were both confused by the monks.

"What's missing? Has the sacred tree bear fruit?" Yun Xiaonu's eyes lit up and he shouted quickly.

"Master, why is there one missing leaf in the sacred tree?" Wu Man'er's eyes were red and she said anxiously.

"It's just that one leaf is missing, nothing serious... right?" Before Jiang Shentian finished speaking, Chen Luo gave him a warning look.

Chen Luo felt helpless in his heart, and felt that Jiang Shentian was sometimes too straightforward, and it was possible that Wu Man'er could show such a look, which shows that falling leaves in the sacred tree are definitely not a trivial matter.

"Not long after you left, an abnormality appeared in the sacred tree. One leaf turned yellow and fell forty-nine days." Yun Zhongyue said.

Upon hearing this, Wu Man'er suddenly showed guilt on her face and murmured: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault..."

"Miss Tianxing, Miss Man'er is this..." Chen Luo for a moment, didn't know what happened, so he quickly sent a message to Man Tianxing and asked.

After a moment of silence on the side of Mantianxing, he sent a message:

"Man'er was originally a witch of the Divine Wood Clan. When she was young, she had been following the previous generation of witches, that is, her mother guarding and serving the essence of the sacred tree. Later, after the previous generation of witches passed away for some reason, she had been guarding the sacred tree. After she left this time, the sacred tree suddenly withered and fell a leaf for some reason."

After hearing this, Chen Luo understood why Wu Man'er was like this.

At this time, Wu Kuihu walked forward, gently patted his disciple's shoulder, with a gentle smile on his face, and said:

"Stop crying, I let you go this time. If you want to blame me, you have to blame me."

As soon as he said this, the expressions on Wu Man'er and Yun Zhongyue and others changed.

"Silly boy, do you think I really don't know when you escaped? If I really don't want you to leave, you will never be able to leave the Shenmu Forest." Wu Kuihu rubbed her head and said in a pampering manner.

"Class leader, it turns out that you were the one who helped her cover her breath..." Yun Zhongyue said in disbelief.

"I'm sorry, I've been hiding it from you." A hint of shame flashed in Wu Kuihu's eyes.

"Why is this?" Yun Zhongyue said in discomfortably.

"Alan guarded the sacred tree for the rest of her life, and eventually died for the sacred tree and the sacred tree clan. She never left the sacred wood forest in her life. But she still has Man'er around her. As for Man'er, she is still young, and I don't want her to keep the sacred tree wither and live her whole life. At least let her go out to see the outside world, and I believe that no matter what, she will eventually return to the sacred wood clan." Wu Kuihu's shame disappeared in his eyes and said calmly.

For this beloved disciple, everything is natural and there is nothing to feel guilty about.

"But she is a witch, and the guardian sacred tree is her mission..." Yun Zhongyue still couldn't understand.

If she is a witch, she will always guard the sacred tree until death.

"Mission... Such a mission is also a cage. And more than just Man'er locked in the cage?" Wu Kuihu sighed and said slowly.

He did not complain in his words, but he was more unwilling to accept it.

Yun Zhongyue heard his words, her expression changed on her face. After being silent for a long time, she spoke:

"Class Chief, your current words have lost the identity of the patriarch and the responsibility of the patriarch. I will ask the Martial God Altar for discussion."

"I'm just thinking that way," Wu Kuihu said.

Yun Zhongyue sighed and asked, "Clan leader, what does the fallen leaves of the sacred tree indicate? Don't you know?"

"The last time the sacred tree fell leaves, we lost Alan and Man'er lost her mother. Do you think there will be someone who knows better than me?" Wu Kuihu smiled bitterly and asked back.

"Then you still..." Yun Zhongyue was interrupted before she finished speaking.

"It is precisely because of this that our Shenmu clan needs change. If we stick to the rules, we can only repeat the tragedy again and again." Wu Kuihu said in a deep voice.

After Wu Kuihu finished speaking, he became silent. Yun Zhongyue didn't know what to say for a moment.

"master……"

"Class leader, what should we do if our clan bet on the beliefs and oaths of life and dignity?" Yun Zhongyue asked with a struggle on her face.

"I have never dared to forget the oath of the Shenmu clan for a day. It's just that our clan has been defending the sacred tree and guarding the Martial God Altar for so many years, and facing the invasion of the Chiyou Demon clan alone, there are too many casualties and injuries. It's time to make some changes." Wu Kuihu said.

When Shen Luo heard this, he was confused and frowned.

"Class leader, are you planning to open the clan door and accept outsiders?" Yun Zhongyue's expression changed slightly when she heard this.

"Elder Yun, if there is another riot in the Martial God Altar, you and me can die in battle. What about their children? They are going to die before they can grow up. Is this fair?" Wu Kuihu asked.

"This is our destiny." Yun Zhongyue still insisted.

"Relying on the power of our Shenmu clan alone is too weak. How long can we last? One generation or two generations? When all our elders die in battle, should we be a man, a star, and a little slave?" Wu Kuihu sighed deeply.

Yun Zhongyue tightened the crutch in her hand and glanced at Yun Xiaonu who was still a child, and her eyes gradually changed.
