Demon World, within a peach grove.

With his Five-Element Gold Body revealed, Xiong Li charged headfirst into the peach grove.

With every step he took, a peach tree demon appeared to block him, but all were kicked aside by him.

He had only one target, the largest peach tree in the grove.

The peach tree towered into the clouds, on the trunk, grew a human face, looking at the approaching Xiong Li in terror.

"It's over! It's over!!"

"How did I end up in the crosshairs of this god of calamity!!" The face on the trunk showed panic.

Recently, the most honest tree demon clan in the Demon World began to stir.

Rumors spread of an Esteemed One from the Human Clan, specializing in hunting down top-tier Mahayana tree demons.

Once targeted by him, unless protected by an invincible Monster Venerable, they would be uprooted inevitably.

Numerous roots and vines sprouted from the ground, whipping fiercely against the Five-Element Gold Body.

But all was in vain, these attacks were as ineffective as tickling the Five-Element Gold Body.

"Move aside, don't see me as an enemy, I want to give you a better life." Xiong Li roared, his face full of excitement.

This mission was one he had secured with tremendous effort from a junior fellow.

The task was simple and ruthless, and the rewards were perfectly to his liking.

The spiritual Qi of Hidden Spirit Island was getting more refined over time, occasionally overflowing with Immortal Spirit Qi.

So Pu Tao started renovating the whole sect, allowing this refined spiritual Qi to manifest its maximum value. One task was to search for tree demons above Combination stage and bring them back to the sect for cultivation.

Each Combination tree demon was worth two jugs of Sheng Bone Wine, Mahayana tree demon worth ten jugs.

As soon as this task went up, it was instantly seized.

Xiong Li only managed to grab a few shares of the Combination tree demons.

Naturally, he was not satisfied with this result. Hence,he forced a smile onto his face and sought that disciple who bagged the shares of the Mahayana stage.

With kind (threat) words (forcing) advice (bribes), he finally got the share of the Mahayana stage.

So, for the last year, Xiong Li has been frenziedly searching for Mahayana tree demons in the Demon World.

A breeze swept through, countless peach blossoms surrounded Xiong Li.

They formed a peach blossom illusion, intending to trap Xiong Li and make him give up.

Xiong Li felt the scenery before his eyes change, a wide path appeared at his feet.

The end of the path led to a wine mountain built from Sheng Bone Wine.

A woman of extraordinary gentleness was also waiting for him at the end of the path.

Seeing this scene, Xiong Li's eyes turned red immediately, he took a step forward and ran towards the wine mountain.

The Mahayana Peach Tree Demon watched Xiong Li in the distance and couldn't help but sigh in relief.

"Move, our peach tree demon clan has to migrate!"

"We can't live like this anymore!" The Mahayana Peach Tree Demon said furiously.

The tree demon clan was initially the most peaceful in the Immortal World.

They all quietly guarded their own patch of land, not mingling with others; this peaceful life continued generation after generation.

During the battles between the Human Realm and Demon World, they merely spread their descendants into the Human Realm.

Even when the Elders Association swept through the Demon World, they automatically ignored the peaceful tree demon clan.

Yet, such a peaceful clan was being bullied one day.

If they could retaliate, the tree demons would have been enraged a long time ago.

Countless peach tree demons uprooted themselves, following the direction of the Mahayana Tree Demon to move elsewhere.

Just when the Mahayana Peach Tree Demon planned to move to the next predetermined location.

A gigantic Five-Elements Golden Body Giant that was a thousand feet tall descended from the sky, immediately lifting the Mahayana Peach Tree Demon into mid-air.

A heavy beating followed, and then it was placed into a specialized Dao Artifact Space.

There were three other trees in the Dao Artifact Space.

A willow tree, a jujube tree, and a spiritual sword tree. All were Mahayana Demon Venerables.

"The younger brother is here! I knew we would reunite here!" The Willow Tree was the first to greet.

"How did you know I would come?" The Peach Tree Demon weakly asked after being heavily beaten.

"Because I told the human about the location where your clan resides," the Willow Tree Demon replied with a laugh.

"..."

Xiong Li looked at the four Mahayana Tree Demons in the Dao Artifact Space and nodded in satisfaction.

"Now I don't have to worry about running out of Divine Bone Wine for a while." Xiong Li said with a smile.

The reason he pretended to fall for the illusion earlier was to get the Mahayana Tree Demon to uproot itself and make a move.

This way, he didn't have to physically uproot the Tree Demon from the ground.

"Let's go back to the sect first. This place is remote and I can't receive news from the sect. I don't know if the Great Master and the others have returned," Xiong Li said.

At this moment, two escaping lights headed for the panic-stricken Peach Tree Demons.

A sword array seal descended and directly trapped three Combination Stage Tree Demons.

"Feiyu Junior Brother, Wuji Junior Brother, you guys are here too." Xiong Li greeted with a smile.

"We found traces of Senior Brother at Tiangold Mountain, so we followed, hoping to catch some benefits," Han Feiyu and Sword Wuji greeted Xiong Li with a bow.

"What benefits are there really? Everyone knows that Junior Brother Feiyu is the richest man in the sect." Xiong Li said with a laugh.

Whenever he ran out of Divine Bone Wine, the first person he would think of was Han Feiyu.

Every time he visited his residence, he was always treated with Divine Bone Wine.

This resulted in Xiong Li owing Han Feiyu many favors.

"Senior Brother is being too kind. No matter how rich I am, I cannot compare with Senior Brother's cultivation level and combat power," Han Feiyu said with a smile.

"Senior Brother hasn't returned to the sect recently, has he? I received news that the Grand Master has returned to the sect and even distributed welfare to each disciple," Sword Wuji said.

After the Dragon and Tiger Banquet, his Master ascended, so naturally, he returned to the Hidden Spirit Sect, happily spending time with his Junior Brother Han Feiyu.

"Really? I have just finished my share here, let's go back to the sect," Xiong Li said excitedly.

"There's a surprise back at the sect. Senior Brother, you should hurry back. Wuji and I will catch some more Tree Demons," Han Feiyu said with a smile.

Xiong Li nodded, summoned a Dao Artifact Spirit Boat, and flew towards the sky.

Within the Hidden Spirit Sect's Affairs Hall, Xiong Li handed over the Space Dao Artifact to the affairs puppet.

"Four Mahayana Stage Tree Demons, task reward, 10 million points, forty jars of Divine Bone Wine," the electronic voice of the puppet stated.

Xiong Li nodded and then left the Affairs Hall, flying towards the Treasure House.

At this point, the Hidden Spirit Sect's Treasure House was like a small world, each item placed in its corresponding environment.

"Senior Brother Xiong Li, you have two welfare items distributed by the East Gate, would you like to collect them now?" The sect disciple on duty asked with a smile.

"What kind of welfare items are they? Show me," Xiong Li said, his face filled with anticipation.

"One is ten jars of premium Divine Bone Wine, and one is a top-grade Five-Element Heavy Armor."

"The other is Immortal Wine, brewed from Divine Beast Immortal Bone. It was purchased from the Immortal Realm Commerce Association. Its efficacy is a thousand times stronger than Divine Bone Wine, so please use a cup of only one measure when drinking it," the disciple reminded.

"Does everyone get this wine?" Xiong Li asked curiously.

"No, this wine is part of the adaptable welfare matched within the standard value range set by the Great Master. It varies for everyone," the disciple explained.
