Chapter 3955 Hawley

Within the Flaming Maple Forest lay the Misty River race's territory—many of the people in the Three Purities Stage believed so.

As did the young men like Larkin from the Misty River race.

But as the Misty River race's leader, Wheeler was sure that this was false.

After the former leader's death, Hawley designated Wheeler to the open position, telling him that the real master of the Flaming Maple Forest was the motionless Flaming Maple Trees, not the actual members of the Misty River race.

These people were merely creatures living in the Flaming Maple Forest and everything they had obtained was bestowed upon them by the forest.

If he found any chance to expand the Flaming Maple Forest, Wheeler would seize it without question.

But expanding the Flaming Maple Forest was an extremely difficult task. On its south side lay the Heavenly Thunder Plain. If the Flaming Maple Forest extended to that plain, it would only turn to ashes under the powerful thunderbolts. On its east side was the cold land, a place unsuitable for trees to grow.

The southwest side remained the most suitable area, meaning that it could expand along the Divine River to its upper reaches.

In the past, the Flaming Maple Forest had also expanded in such a way, but at a certain point, it was discovered by the Element Spirit Civilization.

The latter then poisoned the southwest soil, making the land toxic across twenty miles. The poisonous land was an insurmountable natural chasm for the Flaming Maple Forest—any seeds and roots instantly decayed once they drilled into the soil.

When the Misty River race attempted to negotiate with the Element Spirit Civilization, they were refused. Since the last leader was killed, they figured that the latter would forbid the expansion of the Flaming Maple Forest.

Now that the Element Spirit Civilization took the initiative to mention so, Wheeler had no choice but to accept.

Having seen through Wheeler's thoughts, Abner said nothing more and left.

Standing up, Wheeler wiped his body dry and turned to Larkin. "I'm going to see Hawley."

The Soul Interdicting Water on the bodies of Zen, Yasamin, and Eastern Emperor Taiyi dried up and its effect disappeared, allowing the people to withdraw from the Other Shore.

Flamine, Pearce, Auden and the other masters of the Oneness Sky Palace were all aware that it was a moment of great importance, so they waited aside. Elvinia, who had been cultivating, also came over.

After waiting for so long, there was no news from the Other Shore. Of course, everyone was gettin

Element Spirit Civilization tell you to say that? They've said the same many times."

Zen figured that the power he used to kill Norris was enough to intimidate the Misty River race.

His provocation made it impossible for the Misty River race to attack.

There was only one possibility remained—the Element Spirit Civilization asked the Misty River race to make a move by promising them great benefits.

"What do you think?" Wheeler pressed again.

"I've never compromised and I don't intend to do so now," Zen said in return, shrugging his shoulders.

Regret washed over Wheeler's face. "Then you will never even get a chance to compromise. You'll die and lie in the Flaming Maple Forest forever, and your flesh and blood will become nourishment for the forest."

"Can you kill me by yourself?" Zen asked, his voice lowered.

"That's too easy for Master Wheeler!"

"If you die here, no one will bother to bury your body!"

"When Master Wheeler tears you to pieces, you'll learn to not be so stubborn!"

The crowd began clamoring upon witnessing Zen's arrogance.

But Wheeler merely shook his head and admitted, "I can't defeat you."

The words had the rest of the Misty River race swallow their words and go silent. Even the rest of the Eternal Realm warriors and the many races in the forest's open space were rather surprised. It was a shock to hear Wheeler admit that he couldn't defeat this human being.

But then Wheeler took a step back, as if to make way for something. "But he should be able to do that for me."

Boom! Boom! Boom...

A great figure of over a hundred feet tall emerged from the forest. The man was dark all over, staring at Zen, his eyes gleaming with ferocity.
