The Emptiness Dragon System
CH.57S. Wood Spirit Pandemic

Yuan Shan looked at his son in the crowd and noticed the bright smile on his face. Clearly, his son had already benefited greatly from the trip this time around.

However at that moment, Yuan Shan suddenly frowned and took out a communication artifact from his sleeve.

He hurriedly turned his gaze towards Yuan Tian and saw his son nod earnestly to him.

At that moment, several messages also came from the Ancestors of the large family and all of them said the same thing.

"Master of the City, what's wrong?" Duan Ming looked at Yuan Shan suspiciously and asked.

"Senior, this is really a big deal," Yuan Shan heard this hurriedly stepped forward then bowed.

Duan Ming smiled, "Master City need not worry, with us here, all matters can be resolved."

There were currently six Emperors present, so it was no surprise that he spoke confidently. As long as not one of the Ten Great Emperors had come to destroy the city, they could almost handle everything.

Yuan Shan wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and explained, "Like this, my Celestial Water City cultivator accidentally broke the seal in the second layer and unleashed an ancient Wood Spirit!"

"What?" Duan Ming's face suddenly changed upon hearing this, and stood up, "Are you serious?"

"That's right, I just received a report from all the great family Ancestors in the Sky Water City."

"Wood Spirit ... is there actually a Wood Spirit sealed in the second layer?" The young lady who had not spoken a word until now started frowning and asked in surprise.

This young lady was Gao Ting from the Sun Temple, she was one of the Emperors who stood on equal footing with Duan Ming.

"The Wood Spirit is not easy to deal with, let alone the ancient Wood Spirit. Senior Xiao, why didn't Senior warn us about this before?" Wen Hao glanced at Xiao Yu and complained.

Xiao Yu rolled his eyes, "The Five Sect Pagoda is not as simple as you think. There were many seals and barriers hidden there, even if the Great Emperor were to look for them, he would not be able to find them. This Wood Spirit was likely hiding in one of those seals."

Hearing that explanation, no one else complained.

"I beg Senior to take action to clear this Wood Spirit, or it will be a great disaster for my Sky Water City," Yuan Shan looked at the six Emperors with a pleading expression.

"That's just a trivial Wood Spirit, why should the City Lord be afraid? Moreover, he had been sealed for thousands of years, it was clear his strength was declining. Even without us, the City Lord can resolve this by himself," Duan Ming said reluctantly.

Yuan Shan's face looked gloomy and said, "Senior Duan might not know, but according to the news I received, it is not, This Wood Spirit was able to devour the essence and vitality of cultivators to recover his strength and could also plant seeds in a cultivator's body. If it lets it grow and spread. It's gonna be a plague for everyone."

"really?" The sixth face of the Emperor became serious.

"Really! My son was almost killed by this cultivator who was already infected with the Wood Seed," Yuan Shan replied.

"If that's the case, then this situation is indeed serious," Xiao Yu pondered for a moment then said, "Since the Wood Spirit came out of the Five Ranges Pagoda, then the Soul Pavilion will be in charge. First, close the city gates. No one is allowed in or out. Then make sure no one can leave the square! We'll take care of this now!"

"Yes! Thank you very much for your help Senior!" Yuan Shan was very happy when he heard this and hurriedly turned around then shouted, "As per the orders of the Star Envoy Lord. Some Senior must resolve an issue, and only after this matter is finished are you allowed to leave. Please cooperate."

As soon as he said this, the noisy square suddenly went silent, everyone turned their heads towards Yuan Shan.

Qin Shan furrowed his brows, and wondered why Yuan Shan and the Sixth Emperor made such a move.

However, the Emperor's orders could not be ignored, even if the cultivators who were in the square were dissatisfied, they no one dared to refute and could only stand obediently.

The next instant, the six Emperors exchanged a few words then the four of them suddenly shot out in different directions, and left only Xiao Yu and Gao Ting.

Suddenly there was a hum above the Sky Water City as the sky was covered by a thin dome-like barrier of light.

This change left many cultivators standing in the square awestruck by the might of these Emperors.

Most people are really confused about what really happened.

As soon as the barrier was formed, Xiao Yu and Gao Ting looked at each other and stood together.

Then two enormous Spiritual Senses swept across the entire square.

Everyone became uneasy while being scanned by the Spiritual Sense of these two Emperors, as if all of their secrets were revealed.

A moment later, everyone felt relieved after these two Spiritual Senses were pulled back.

"It looks like many are infected," Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes then stretched out his hand and sent a beam of light out from his fingertips.

This ray of light was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye pierced through the stomach of a man wearing a blue robe below.

This blue-robed cultivator was only a Second Layer Origin King, so upon witnessing an Emperor master attacking him, he shouted, "Master Envoy, why …"

He did not know how an insignificant Origin King like himself had already provoked the Golden Star Envoy from the Soul Pavilion.

Before he finished speaking, the light came out from his back and seemed to be wrapped around something.

Everyone was shocked and saw the light wrapped around the greenish-blue seed.

Aaa!

The seed exploded with a shrill scream before evaporating in the air.

Seeing this scene, everyone's expressions changed drastically. Xiao Yu attacked this blue-clothed man for wanting to get rid of something that had infiltrated his body.

The man's face looked pale, as if his foundation had been broken.

One after another these streams of light shot out rapidly regarding the different cultivators among the crowd.

At the same time, Gao Ting also made a move.

His face looked solemn, he wrote a pattern of runes in the air then the runes condensed into a small net. This net then doubled and shot out in all directions.

These tiny nets quickly reached their intended targets and began to envelop them.

All of the cultivators who were enveloped by this little net began to shudder in fear. But strangely enough, this net only passed through them and when it reappeared, there was a greenish-blue seed inside.

Gao Ting formed a hand seal and instantly the small net broke apart shattering the seeds within it to pieces.

"What was that?" A cultivator shouted in fear and fell backwards.

Although they now understood that these two Emperors had not tried to kill them, but many people were still shocked to see the strange seeds being taken from the bodies of the cultivators around them.

At that moment, miserable screams suddenly sounded from all directions.

In the crowd appeared some strange trees that emitted an evil aura and there was a face in the middle of this tree trunk.

Qin Shan was also surprised at that moment.

He saw with his own eyes a cultivator next to him undergoing an incredible transformation.

This cultivator was laughing with his friends while discussing his adventure inside the Five Ranges Pagoda just a moment ago, but he suddenly felt pain.

At the same time, a blue light shone from his stomach and his skin cracked, as if something was trying to come out of his body.

In an instant, the man turned into a tree with a human face. A terrifying howl came from his lips.

The chi! The chi! The chi!

Vines greens gushed from within these trees.

Some cultivators nearby were caught off guard. One of them was pierced by this perennial plant and the man started to constrict as if his blood was drying out.

Qin Shan rushed back and sent a fire slash towards the vines that were heading towards him.

The vines broke off and burned in the ground.

Now many cultivators knew what was going on, and in an instant, the name 'Wood Spirit' spread throughout the square.

"The flow of energy to protect your body, or your fate will be the same as theirs!" Xiao Yu roared loudly from the high stage.

Qin Shan heard this then hurriedly circulated his energy to cover his body in order not to be infected by this Wood Seed.

Other cultivators did the same as well, but there were still those who were late in understanding the situation and were attacked by the vines and turned into Wood Spirit Clones.

Xiao Yu snorted coldly. He pushed his energy wildly and killed several Wood Spirit Clones.

Gao Ting also started acting. Seeing that this scene could no longer be handled in a gentle way, he began executing all the Clones without mercy.

At the same time, the other four Emperors also slashed at the Wood Spirit Clones one by one while browsing through the city.

When everyone returned from the Five Ranges Pagoda and appeared in the square, many cultivators were instantly gone, and among these people some were already infected.

The six Emperors started slashing the Wood Spirit Clones like they were chopping vegetables.

After noticing the danger, the cultivators also started to use their strength to protect themselves.

The Sky Water City was caught up in a chaotic battle, but the situation was still manageable. These Wood Spirit Clones were not very powerful, and their methods were random. Its greatest advantage was that it could spread seeds secretly and infect cultivators.

But as long as the cultivator was vigilant, he would not be infected.

With the cooperation of many people, the outbreak will soon be resolved.

Half a day later, many corpses were lying everywhere. These corpses were originally cultivators from the Celestial Water City, but after being infected by the Wood Seed, they all turned into vines.

The six Emperors parted ways to check every corner of the city.

During this examination, they found some Wood Seeds hiding.

This situation lasted for two days before the chaos gradually subsided.

In these two days, the number of cultivators who died reached thousands. This proved how terrifying this Wood Spirit was. He did not even need to act blatantly, just spreading his Wood Seed was enough to cause a disaster.

If it was truly allowed to grow, the Sky Water City would likely be wiped out.

For the past two days, Qin Shan had co-operated with other cultivators to search for and destroy the Wood Spirit Clone. Everyone participated to support this effort, inevitably Qin Shan also participated or he would be criticized by the public.
