Tianleifeng old tree demon

Liu Youyou can be considered gone; if she doesn't leave, I'll be consumed by desire.

Ye Shu breathed a sigh of relief but also felt a bit disappointed. It had been a long time since he had been close to a woman, and there were some impure thoughts lingering in his mind.

Reciting a few prayers to Amitabha, he gradually fell asleep.

The night passed without incident. When Aiqier was still asleep, Ye Shu, full of energy, woke up. He went to wake up Liu Youyou; they had important matters to attend to today.

Yawning, Liu Youyou woke up, her whole body feeling soft. "Ah, I still want to sleep."

Seeing her loose sleepwear, Ye Shu couldn't help but think that even the big white rabbit would want to escape from it.

He quickly stepped away. "Hurry up, we need to go to Sky Thunder Peak to find Old Tree Man."

After half an hour, the two were ready and officially set out.

Sky Thunder Peak was located outside the southern city. Beyond the southern city were many farmlands, further out, only vast mountains, desolate and uninhabited, with only a road cutting through.

Sky Thunder Peak was situated within the mountain range and was quite famous. It was rumored that thunderstorms often occurred on the peak, which, according to martial arts novels, signified someone undergoing tribulation.

Ye Shu used to find it unbelievable, but now he believed it. There must be monsters undergoing tribulation, facing heavenly calamities.

The journey was a bit far, and although there were city buses, they were not very comfortable. What if they couldn't catch one on the way back?

Therefore, Ye Shu deliberately bought a motorcycle. Motorcycles were prohibited in the city, but in the suburbs, there was no one to enforce the rule; they roared through without any issues.

Riding the motorcycle towards Sky Thunder Peak, it was quite enjoyable. The wind brushed against them, and the sunny weather lifted their spirits.

Liu Youyou sat at the back, tightly hugging Ye Shu's waist, constantly rubbing against him. "Oh, I'm so scared. I've never ridden a motorcycle before."

Her natural coquettishness surfaced again, but Ye Shu paid her no mind.

The motorcycle soon left the suburbs, speeding through the countryside. After half an hour, they entered the vast mountains.

The mountain road was rugged, so Ye Shu slowed down as they entered the mountains. After about half an hour, they finally reached the foot of Sky Thunder Peak.

No more farmlands were in sight; all that surrounded them were mountains and dense forests.

Sky Thunder Peak was right in front of them, towering into the clouds. The peak was not visible; it retained a primitive appearance.

However, there was still signal here. Liu Youyou took out her phone, sending a message to Old Tree Monster, informing him of their arrival.

Old Tree Monster typed slowly; it took several minutes for him to respond: "East side."

They were currently on the west side, so they had to circumnavigate the vast mountain base to reach the east side.

The east side presented a different scenery, unexpectedly revealing a small lake at the foot of the mountain. A waterfall cascaded down, bringing a cool breeze.

This was an untouched lake, undeveloped by human hands, giving it a wild feel. There were many stones on the shore, along with a small vendor.

Looking around, large and small trees extended all the way to the top of Sky Thunder Peak. Birds in the forest were chirping, creating a lively atmosphere.

As they arrived, several birds even stared at them curiously, unafraid and full of curiosity.

With a smile, Liu Youyou waved at the birds. "Hi, I'm the two-tailed fox from the southern city. Hello, sisters."

Surprisingly, those birds were also monsters. Liu Youyou's greeting made them immediately fly over, circling the two, chattering incessantly. However, they didn't speak human language, likely still in the early stages of cultivation.

Ye Shu, on the other hand, surveyed the surroundings, pondering where Old Tree Monster might be.

As he was thinking, strange footsteps sounded from the forest, revealing a tall figure among the trees. Several small birds immediately flew over, perching on the person's shoulder.

Ye Shu also saw clearly; it was a spirited old man, possessing human limbs but not having a purely human appearance.

His toes and fingers resembled branches, long and slender, and his shoulders were unusually wide but not fat, like an elongated person.

Looking at his cheeks, the features were somewhat blurry, but the overall appearance was kindly. Adding to that, a green beard over a foot long made him seem even more amiable.

In summary, he was an old tree spirit that made people feel at ease.

Both Ye Shu and Liu Youyou quickly saluted and greeted the old tree spirit. He smiled and said, "I am the guide of the monsters in this area. Usually, monsters in trouble come to me. You don't need to be polite."

Old Tree Monster typed slowly, but when speaking, he was not slow, full of vigor and not showing signs of aging. Moreover, he was a guide, specializing in solving problems for nearby monsters.

Both of them were delighted; they hadn't expected such a thoughtful role as a guide in the Monster Alliance.

Liu Youyou, not holding back, expressed her worries about Ye Shu and immediately inquired about the ghost-raising technique.

"Old sir, it's like this. We have a friend who is a vampire, and she's in trouble. For now, she entrusted her daughter to us. Before, due to our ignorance, it seems we used the ghost-raising technique."

Liu Youyou was speaking nonsense, but inadvertently, she got it right. Indeed, Daphne had entrusted her daughter to them because she was in trouble.

Ye Shu also added, "Old sir, I am a two-tailed fox's friend. It was I who used the ghost-raising technique; I dripped my blood into chicken blood."

He explained the situation carefully, not daring to leave out any details. After listening, Old Tree Monster pondered and said, "Just dripping blood? Without using any other techniques?"

Ye Shu shook his head, looking nervously at Old Tree Monster. After hearing his explanation, Old Tree Monster seemed suspicious. "You're just a human; dripping blood alone shouldn't be effective. But from what you said, the color of the chicken blood changed. You might have eradicated the souls of the chickens, and that seems to be the effect of the ghost-raising technique. It appears your blood is extraordinary, having a unique aroma."

Old Tree Monster gazed at Ye Shu thoughtfully, clearly noticing something different about him. Liu Youyou quickly added, "Old sir, his blood is indeed special, one in a million. Perhaps it's just the effect of his blood, unrelated to the ghost-raising technique."

Hearing this, Old Tree Monster lightly sniffed and showed a hint of doubt, then suddenly extended a sharp finger and poked Ye Shu's arm.

A drop of blood immediately emerged, and Old Tree Monster's surprise intensified. Some nearby birds also flew over, staring at Ye Shu's blood.

Old Tree Monster quickly wiped the blood away, and

 Ye Shu's wound vanished. The old tree spirit exclaimed, "Indeed extraordinary. I've lived for two hundred years and have never seen a human with such high-quality blood. Your blood carries a dominating aura, directly assimilating with animal blood. This is not natural; someone must have planted something in you. As for what it is, with my abilities, it's impossible to discern."

Old Tree Monster's words made Ye Shu tense. He remembered the bite on his neck after that night in the English alley.

He frowned in silence, realizing that the situation had become more complicated.

Liu Youyou interjected, "Old sir, does this count as the ghost-raising technique? He didn't commit any wrongdoing, right?"

Old Tree Monster sighed gently. "For an ordinary human, no matter how much blood is dripped, it wouldn't matter. But his blood is peculiar. If he achieved the effect of the ghost-raising technique, then he did commit a wrongdoing. Those chickens killed wouldn't find peace even in death, and they won't have the opportunity to reincarnate."

Ye Shu's heart sank; it seemed he had indeed committed a crime unknowingly, "raising ghosts."

Liu Youyou's face also turned unpleasant. "Old sir, is there any way to save him?"

Old Tree Monster smiled faintly. "Everyone has their sins. His sin is light; he just needs to do more good deeds in the future, and it will be enough to offset it. Just avoid practicing the ghost-raising technique again."

Both Ye Shu and Liu Youyou were relieved. It turned out that it wasn't a serious offense, just a false alarm.

However, Ye Shu soon felt unhappy. If he couldn't practice the ghost-raising technique, how would he be able to raise his daughter?

Liu Youyou also thought of this and frowned. "It seems you have to drive her away; otherwise, you'll suffer."

Driving his daughter away was impossible. After thinking for a moment, Ye Shu respectfully said to Old Tree Monster, "Old sir, to be honest, our friend, the vampire, must be raised. Are there any other methods aside from the ghost-raising technique?"
