"Kid, your tricks of pretending to be supernatural are still a bit immature! If I were you, I would bow down and apprentice myself to me, leaving you a path to survival, otherwise!" The Sand Sea Divine Priest Meng Lixi stared coldly at Ye Zhen with a sneer.

Of course, such words, as the Sand Sea Divine Priest, Meng Lixi would not openly say; threatening Ye Zhen outright would be too foolish!

The Sand Sea Divine Priest Meng Lixi has been using Divine Soul Telecommunication since he appeared.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Ye Zhen’s eyes.

In Ye Zhen’s view, his relationship with Yizhi Temple’s Sand Sea Divine Priest should not be adversarial, similar to Patan.

However, as soon as this Sand Sea Divine Priest Meng Lixi spoke, he defined Ye Zhen as an enemy and even attempted to subdue Ye Zhen, which left Ye Zhen truly disappointed.

Nonetheless, since this Sand Sea Divine Priest Meng Lixi chose to become an enemy, Ye Zhen would accompany him to the end.

Ye Zhen, as a Divine Envoy, is like snatching food from the jaws of the tiger at Yizhi Temple, akin to a street fight.

Once the fight starts, you cannot retreat or make concessions until you have made your enemy feel the pain, or else you will face endless oppression.

Therefore, Ye Zhen will not allow the Sand Sea Divine Priest Meng Lixi to have his way.

"Pretending to be supernatural?"

Ye Zhen’s voice echoed through the Yuansha Tribe like a giant bell, "Did Divine Priest Meng Lixi say this Divine Envoy is pretending to be supernatural?

Is Divine Priest Meng Lixi referring to this method?"

As he spoke, a Yidongqing Divine Tree Seed fell from Ye Zhen’s fingertips into the sandy soil, and at the instant it fell, it began to sprout and branch out. In almost the blink of an eye, a Yidongqing Divine Tree Flower bloomed from the sand, displaying yellow-green flower buds.

This scene, akin to a Divine Miracle, made the Sha Clan people of the Yuansha Tribe widen their eyes, and even the temple warriors behind Divine Priest Meng Lixi stared at Ye Zhen with eyes filled with shock.

The Sand Sea Divine Priest Meng Lixi stared fixedly at Ye Zhen, his eyes full of ice-cold intent, "Kid, you’ve refused my goodwill, you will surely regret your actions today!"

After the Divine Soul Telecommunication, the Sand Sea Divine Priest Meng Lixi emanated a layer of radiant Divine Light, and his compelling voice began to echo throughout the Yuansha Tribe.

"Citizens of Yizhi Heavenly God, do not be blinded by the devil’s tricks. The former Blue Robe Priest Patan has betrayed Yizhi Heavenly God, colluding with the embodiment of the devil, trying to tempt you into hell.

Do not be deceived by his demonic methods, for after temporary prosperity, disaster will surely befall the tribes."

It must be said, the Sand Sea Divine Priest Meng Lixi’s prestige among the Sha Clan people is truly indescribable.

As soon as he spoke, many tribe people of the Yuansha Tribe, especially the older members, looked at Ye Zhen with an altered gaze, filled with extreme caution, devoid of the former devout expression.

One by one, the Sha Clan people of the Yuansha Tribe began to rise from the ground, moving toward the Sand Sea Divine Priest Meng Lixi.

Seeing this, a slight curve appeared at the corner of the Sand Sea Divine Priest Meng Lixi’s mouth. After so many years of cultivating the tribes, it wouldn’t be easy for an outsider like Ye Zhen to invade.

Initially, he considered Ye Zhen’s Divine Envoy status with a wait-and-see attitude.

Unexpectedly, Ye Zhen the Divine Envoy swept across a quarter of the tribes under his dominion.

In their concept of the Sand Sea Divine Priest, the tribes they rule are essentially their domain, their kingdom.

Ye Zhen’s actions appeared more like an invasion.

Therefore, if he were to act, the Sand Sea Divine Priest Meng Lixi would do so with full force.

In the next moment, the Sand Sea Divine Priest Meng Lixi’s gaze fell upon the Divine Guard Team behind Ye Zhen.

"Lost sheep who have strayed from the path, awaken. You strayed only because the devil is too cunning and exploited the name of the Heavenly God.

As long as you return from the lost path, Yizhi Heavenly God will not blame you. Whether you or your tribe can return to Yizhi Heavenly God’s embrace."

Ye Zhen knew this might test the loyalty of the Divine Guards behind him.

However, Ye Zhen understood best that the human heart is least resistant to deliberate testing.

As the Sand Sea Divine Priest, Meng Lixi can represent the Yizhi Heavenly God, and Ye Zhen, as the self-proclaimed Divine Envoy, also represents the Yizhi Heavenly God; Ye Zhen doesn’t want to trouble these Divine Guards behind him.

So, as soon as Meng Lixi finished speaking, Ye Zhen’s laughter rang out.

"If Yizhi Heavenly God’s grace cannot bring you back to Yizhi Heavenly God’s embrace, then it can only be said that it is not Yizhi Heavenly God who has abandoned you, but you who have strayed away from Yizhi Heavenly God’s glory!"

Accompanied by the long chanting voice, countless Yidongqing Divine Tree Seeds flew from Ye Zhen’s fingertips, sprinkling instantly like raindrops over a two-hundred-mile area, falling among those Sha Clan people who had moved toward the Sand Sea Divine Priest Meng Lixi, beside their feet and in front of them.

At the moment they fell, light green shoots rapidly emerged, causing the sand to roll as if in waves.

Those are the roots of the Yidongqing Divine Tree deeply penetrating the earth.

Shortly afterward, each Yidongqing Divine Tree began to branch out again.

Over the past two months, the Little Demon’s cultivation had only risen to the Third Stage of Realm King Realm, but daily catalyzing millions of Yidongqing Divine Trees had fully squeezed out the Little Demon’s potential.

Two and a half months ago, catalyzing a million Yidongqing Divine Trees would at least take half a quarter-hour.

But now, in less than a hundred breaths, it could be thoroughly catalyzed.

Over two months of extraordinary training allowed the Little Demon to develop its ability to catalyze and control flowers and trees to an astonishing degree.

And Ye Zhen’s growth in Primordial Spirit also allowed the range of the Little Demon’s catalyzing control to surge from a hundred-mile radius to a two-hundred-mile radius.

In the eyes of countless Sha Clan people, within less than a hundred breaths, the previously barren Yuansha Tribe was surrounded by the flowers of the Yidongqing Divine Tree.

Many Sha Clan people, during the bloom of the Yidongqing Divine Tree Flower, involuntarily knelt again toward Ye Zhen, faces filled with reverence.

However, under the control of the Sand Sea Divine Priest Meng Lixi’s Primordial Spirit Aura, many Sha Clan people still stood there, eyes full of shock, but with a gaze containing traces of temptation and persistence.

But many of these persistent Sha Clan people did not see that even the Sand Sea Divine Priest Meng Lixi behind them had eyes full of shock at this moment.

The Sand Sea Divine Priest Meng Lixi had heard his lower-level priests mention this method before, but he had never seen it firsthand. Now, seeing it firsthand, the feeling was nothing short of shock!

Especially the temple warriors behind the Sand Sea Divine Priest Meng Lixi, their gaze toward Ye Zhen had completely changed, with some temple warriors’ eyes now carrying traces of reverence.

Attempting to rebut Ye Zhen and expose Ye Zhen, yet before such a miracle-like method, even as the Sand Sea Divine Priest, Meng Lixi felt his mouth dry and could not think of a single countering word while Ye Zhen’s voice sounded again.

"The Yidongqing Divine Tree is the grace of Yizhi Sand Sea Sky God. To witness the grace of Yizhi Sand Sea Sky God still cannot bring you back to Yizhi Sand Sea Sky God’s embrace.

Then, Yizhi Sand Sea Sky God is lenient.

You can take your experience, go see, go taste, and see whether this glorious bloom of the Yidongqing Divine Tree Flower is indeed the devil’s temptation or Yizhi Sand Sea Sky God’s grace?"

As soon as Ye Zhen’s voice fell, the chief of the Yuansha Tribe, Dijia, led the charge toward the nearest Yidongqing Divine Tree.

Started sniffing the fragrance of the Yidongqing Divine Tree Flower with his nose and tasted the petals.

In no time, countless Sha Clan people of the Yuansha Tribe began doing the same.

Furthermore, some elders trembled as they dug out the Yidongqing Divine Tree from its roots.

The Yidongqing Divine Tree’s flowers can be transfigured, but its incredibly developed tumor-like root system cannot be faked.

In the next instant, seeing the roots intertwined like a wall, the taste and fragrance of the Yidongqing Divine Tree petals unchanged for years lingered in their mouths.

A large number of Sha Clan people from the Yuansha Tribe worshiped Ye Zhen in panic, pleading for the forgiveness of the Yizhi Sand Sea Heavenly God.

Eyes might deceive them, but their mouths and tongues, as well as hands, would not.

Compared to these simple Sha Clan people, the chief of the Yuansha Tribe, Dijia, was not so simple.

He clearly knew this was a true blessing from the Yizhi Sand Sea Heavenly God, but with the Sand Sea Divine Priest Meng Lixi present here, he needed to consider Meng Lixi’s attitude.

He needed to consider the consequences of his stance and choices.

Therefore, even though he and his confidants were already shocked by the divine miracle Ye Zhen had displayed, they still hesitated and looked towards Meng Lixi to see his attitude and reaction.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, he did not want to offend Meng Lixi, the Sand Sea Divine Priest.

The Sand Sea Divine Priest of the Yizhi Temple could determine the fate of countless Sha Clan tribes with a single thought.

However, the chief of the Yuansha Tribe, Dijia, overlooked Ye Zhen’s attitude.

Seeing that some members of the Yuansha Tribe were still standing there, unwilling to acknowledge the glory of the Yizhi Heavenly God.

Ye Zhen’s gaze suddenly turned cold, his voice chilling as he spoke.

"The Yizhi Heavenly God is merciful and forgiving, but the mercy and forgiveness of the Yizhi Heavenly God are limited.

To those who are unwilling to return to the embrace of the Yizhi Heavenly God, merciful Yizhi Heavenly God will not punish you, but will reclaim the glory of the god, will reclaim the god’s protection over you."

In the next instant, before the chief of the Yuansha Tribe, Dijia, fully comprehended, billions of green light points flew from the countless just-bloomed Yidongqing Divine Tree Flowers, quickly converging into Ye Zhen’s body as if flowing from river to river.

Meanwhile, the numerous Yidongqing Divine Tree Flowers that had just bloomed instantly—withered!

The chief of the Yuansha Tribe, Dijia, was stunned, the Sha Clan people of the Yuansha Tribe were stunned.

The Sand Sea Divine Priest Meng Lixi was stunned, even Patan was stunned; Patan did not know that Ye Zhen, this Divine Envoy, could make countless Yidongqing Divine Tree Flowers wither instantly.

Standing behind Ye Zhen, the members of the Divine Guard Team looked at Ye Zhen with increasingly fervent gazes, now akin to looking at a deity.

But the most significant reaction came from the Sha Clan people of the Yuansha Tribe.

Many Sha Clan people had just been surrounding a few Yidongqing Divine Trees, inhaling their fragrance with joy.

Yet in an instant, the Yidongqing Divine Trees that brought them joy turned into a pile of dead branches.

Many Sha Clan people collapsed instantly, shocked and bewildered.

One after another, they fearfully knelt in Ye Zhen’s direction, wailing and crying, pleading for the forgiveness of the Yizhi Heavenly God.

The chief of the Yuansha Tribe, Dijia, was truly stunned.

Because what had just withered was not only the millions of Yidongqing Divine Tree Flowers that bloomed instantly through Ye Zhen’s divine miracle.

All fifty thousand Yidongqing Divine Trees near the Yuansha Tribe were all withered at the same instant.

In other words, their Yuansha Tribe no longer had a single living Yidongqing Divine Tree.

This was a catastrophe for a tribe.

It wouldn’t take long for the living conditions of their Yuansha Tribe to worsen by the day, but that was not the most terrifying aspect.

The most terrifying aspect was the withering of all Yidongqing Divine Trees, signaling that the tribe had been abandoned by the Yizhi Heavenly God.

In the Sand Sea, the people of a tribe abandoned by the Yizhi Heavenly God were not even as worthy as sinful people.

No tribe would dare to accept these children abandoned by the Heavenly God.

They wouldn’t even dare to come in contact.

In an instant, the chief of the Yuansha Tribe, Dijia, blanked out.

He couldn’t have dreamt that it would turn out this way with the Sand Sea Divine Priest Meng Lixi at the forefront.

Cold sweat soaked through his body in an instant.

The eighteen Realm King Warriors behind Dijia from the Yuansha Tribe watched this scene, collapsing to the ground uncontrollably, fear filling their eyes.

The entire Yuansha Tribe, in this moment, was plunged into hell.

Fiercely shaking his head, the chief of the Yuansha Tribe looked at the Sand Sea Divine Priest Meng Lixi with a pleading gaze.

Hoping that Meng Lixi, the spokesperson of the Yizhi Heavenly God’s will, could solve this crisis.

But facing the pleading gaze of Dijia, the chief of the Yuansha Tribe, Sand Sea Divine Priest Meng Lixi remained indifferent.

Actually, it wasn’t that Meng Lixi didn’t want to help; indeed, he desperately wanted to resolve this crisis.

But he had no methods at his disposal.

With his strength, expending resources nonstop, he could only sprout ten thousand Yidongqing Divine Tree Seeds, which was his limit.

As for sprouting, shooting, rooting, and blooming instantly, it was something he simply couldn’t achieve.

Faced with such divine miracle-like methods, he had no counter-measures!

More critically, Ye Zhen’s method of demonstrating glory and withering instantly placed him, the Sand Sea Divine Priest, in an exceptionally awkward position.

At this moment, to deny Ye Zhen would be to negate the entire belief system of the Yizhi Temple.

Furthermore, there’s no method to deny.

It could be foreseen that after today, the prestige of Meng Lixi, the Sand Sea Divine Priest, would fall to a terrifying degree, bringing consequences far beyond just these.

Suddenly, Sand Sea Divine Priest Meng Lixi felt a pang of regret.

Meng Lixi regretted, but the chief of the Yuansha Tribe, Dijia, was nearly distraught with regret.

If he could redo the events just now, he would surely worship with utmost devotion to the Divine Envoy Ye Zhen, rather than doubt and vacillate.

But now, regret was useless.

Clenching his teeth, the chief of the Yuansha Tribe, Dijia, knelt to the ground, crawling towards Ye Zhen with the most humble attitude!
