Chapter 1612: A Chance To Explain MyselfStanding beside the man in the green vine-patterned robe, the Silver Fox’s expression darkened as he said, “Lu Xuyang, when I asked you if you knew about the wood source, you claimed to know nothing. Are you deliberately deceiving Venerable Qing Teng?”
“This subordinate would never dare!” Lu Xuyang kowtowed on the bluestone ground with a resounding thud, his voice trembling with extreme fear, “Your Venerable, please give this subordinate a chance to explain himself!”
The man in the long robe chuckled softly, his laughter carrying an ambiguous tone as if toying with a little mouse, “Oh? Then go ahead and tell us.”

“But that’s because, firstly, I haven’t yet confirmed the true whereabouts of the wood source. Secondly, I… I want to wait for His Venerable to come out of seclusion and report to you in person. I admit I had my own motives, but I would never dare to betray or deceive you!”
Lu Xuyang’s words made Silver Fox’s face become even more ugly. The eyes looking at him seemed to be quenched with poison.
This insignificant mortal from the lower realms actually dares to seek favor before His Venerable, attempting to surpass both Qishan and me. He had news, yet he chose not to inform me but instead reported directly to His Venerable. Who does he think he is?!
However, the man in the long robe burst into hearty laughter. After a bout of laughter, he finally said, “I am aware of your loyalty. So, do you now have a clear idea of who possesses the wood source?”
Lu Xuyang heaved a sigh of relief in his heart; he had finally passed this test. However, he was unwilling to hand over the wood source that was almost within his grasp.
The man in the long robe lightly tapped on something and said, “Tell me about your discovery.”
Before the leader of the Green Vine Clan, Lu Xuyang dared not hide anything. He quickly recounted what he had heard from the Heavenly Mulberry Sacred Tree in the magic beast forest, the battle with Xi Yue, and the discovery of several types of spiritual roots in his body.

The light in the eyes of Venerable Qing Teng flickered, and a blazing fire slowly burned in the depths of his eyes.
However, this time, his intuition told him that it was right! The wood source they had been relentlessly pursuing was right there!
That was the hope of their Green Vine Clan and the greatest assurance for the Green Vine Clan’s rise to power.
“Silver Fox—!” Venerable Qing Teng shouted.
Silver Fox quickly bowed.
“Accompany President Lu on another trip to the magical beast forest to investigate whether any remnants of the wood source are left in it. If that person truly possesses the wood source and not an ordinary wood spiritual root, then the essence of life should undoubtedly still linger within them.”
“Qishan—! Bring your men to Miluo Continent’s Jin Ling Kingdom and keep a close watch on Xi Yue’s movements, ensuring she doesn’t escape our control. You have to stop anyone from seizing the opportunity before us. But remember, you must be discreet and cautious. Until confirmation, let no one detect your presence.”
