Chapter 529
"What you said makes sense, senior. This is a difficult problem to solve."
Seeing that Ling Yanyan agreed with his ideas and wasn't the arrogant type, Yan Chixia felt happy.
He had a premonition that perhaps this time, by joining forces with Ling Yanyan, they could really destroy the tree demon.
Yan Chixia continued, "Secondly, the tree demon's true form is not simple; it is a thousand-year-old tree that has become a spirit. In this mountain forest, trees are the least lacking thing, so finding its true form and killing it will be a difficult task."
Ling Yanyan nodded, agreeing with Yan Chixia.
"Thirdly, I've heard that the tree spirit has an even more powerful backer and is extremely strong."
Ling Yan Yan, who knew the plot, also knew this: the tree demon's backer was the Black Mountain Demon.
Ling Yanyan was just a little curious: how did Yan Chixia know that?
This was very well hidden in the plot, and it's surprising that Yan Chixia was able to find out. This alone shows how well it was known.
Yan Chixia was no ordinary person; he was an extremely capable individual.
Ling Yanyan smiled slightly and asked, "How did you know that, senior?"
He was really curious.
When Yan Chixia saw Ling Yanyan ask this question, he thought that the other party was doubting his ability, so he explained.
"It's very simple. I once captured one of his female ghosts and questioned the tree demon about her. That's when I learned that the tree demon had a tough time too. Every year, he had to choose a beautiful female ghost to offer to his backer."
Upon hearing this, Ling Yanyan was completely certain that his guess was correct.
The tree demon's backer was the Black Mountain Demon.
Ling Yanyan sneered inwardly, believing that with himself and Yan Chixia by his side, even the Black Mountain Demon would be no match for them.
After Yan Chixia finished speaking, he sighed and said, "This backer is a big variable. We must deal with the tree demon as soon as possible and prevent his backer from finding out."
After saying this, Yan Chixia picked up the wine pot, poured himself a cup of wine, and gulped it down.
After listening to Yan Chixia's words, Ling Yanyan had an idea and looked at Yan Chixia to ask.
"Senior has always lived deep in the mountains, so you must know the situation here very well. I wonder where the female ghosts here usually hide?"
Although he didn't know why Ling Yanyan was asking these questions, Yan Chixia honestly replied, "Of course I know. There's a haunted house on the west side of the mountain forest where the female ghosts under the tree demon often gather."
"But there are just too many ghosts and monsters there, so we have to be careful. Even with my current strength, it would be difficult to get out once we go there."
Hearing Yan Chixia say this, Ling Yanyan realized that this matter could not be resolved by force; a plan was needed.
After thinking for a moment, Ling Yanyan said directly, "In that case, let's deal with the tree demon's subordinates first. When only the tree demon is left, it should be much easier to deal with."
Yan Chixia nodded, agreeing with Ling Yanyan's plan.
However, he was always rather simple-minded, so he looked at Ling Yanyan and asked, "This plan is very good, but how exactly should we do it?"
With Ling Yanyan here, Yan Chixia didn't want to use his brain anymore; he could tell that this guy was quite capable.
Ling Yanyan smiled slyly and said, "It's simple, we just need to defeat them one by one."
Then Ling Yanyan explained his plan to Yan Chixia, whose eyes lit up and looked at him in shock.
Unexpectedly, Ling Yanyan was able to come up with such a brilliant plan. He was now very confident that he could eliminate the tree demon's minions.
We are one step closer to defeating the tree demon.
At this moment, Yan Chixia was filled with confidence and felt even more that meeting Ling Yanyan was truly a stroke of good luck in this lifetime.
Yan Chixia looked at Ling Yanyan, an idea forming in his mind. He laughed and said, "To defeat them one by one, we need to find a way to lure all the female ghosts over. I'm too old for that, but you look handsome and refined, so you'll definitely be able to do it."
As he spoke, Yan Chixia chuckled twice, looking quite lewd.
Seeing this, Ling Yanyan's lips twitched. He knew what Yan Chixia was up to, but he thought of Nie Xiaoqian and didn't object.
Just when he was worried about how to deal with Nie Xiaoqian, Yan Chixia found him a solution. What a kind person!
Just then, a strange zither melody drifted from outside the quiet Lanruo Temple.
The music was beautiful, clear and melodious. As for why it was considered eerie, it's because there's no way a woman would be playing a zither in this deep mountain forest.
Not to mention, it's still the middle of the night.
Without a doubt, it must be a female ghost playing the piano.
Yan Chixia was most annoyed by female ghosts, as they always harmed passersby.
