“Not long after Wu Man'er left the clan without authorization, the Demonic Qi erupted once again. Without the shaman girl, we couldn't harness more power from the Spirit Tree. As a result, many of our people died in battle, and we still couldn't stop them from breaking through the seal and occupying the second layer. Although they can't break through the first layer's seal right now, they've started to continuously transmit the Demonic Qi upwards,” Yun Zhongting still harbored some resentment towards Wu Man'er for leaving the clan on her own.

Upon hearing this, Wu Man'er's face showed even deeper guilt, and her eyes reddened.

“So, to obtain the Earth Mother's Essence, one must go to the Underground layer of the Martial God Altar?” Jiang Shentian muttered.

“No, you can't get the Earth Mother's Essence,” Yun Zhongting stated with a cold huff.

“Elder, we…”

“I allowed you to enter the Divine Wood Forest and see the Divine Wood Primordial Spirit, which was already a violation of the ancestral teachings. And now you still wish to set foot on the Martial God Altar?” Jiang Shentian's words were harshly cut off by Yun Zhongting before he could finish.

“Great Elder, Man'er is willing to compensate for her faults by undertaking a meritorious deed, to enter the Martial God Altar and retrieve the Earth Mother's Essence,” Wu Man'er said, clenching her fists so tightly that it seemed she was using all her strength to say these words.

“Absurd,” scolded Yun Zhongting.

“We, the people of the Divine Tree Clan, are naturally close to the forest and the earth, and we loathe the Demonic Qi the most. We also fear its invasion. Since the first layer of the Martial God Altar is already occupied by Demonic Qi, you can't go in,” Wu Kuihu also frowned in concern.

Shen Luo fell silent for a moment before asking, “Elder, what must be done for us to enter the Martial God Altar?”

“Stop thinking about it. I won't let you go in, no matter what,” Yun Zhongting shook his head.

“If the Elder is unwilling to say, then allow me, a Junior, to make a suggestion, and you all can decide if it sounds agreeable,” Shen Luo offered.

“Let's hear what you have to say,” Yun Zhongting responded.

“If we can remove the Demonic Qi from the first layer of the Martial God Altar, would you then allow us to take away the Earth Mother's Essence?” Shen Luo proposed.

“Haha… Are you joking? Do you have any idea how dense the Demonic Qi has become inside the first layer of the Martial God Altar?” Yun Zhongting laughed derisively, throwing back his head.

“This… it's alright. I will go, and if I succeed, it will benefit everyone. If not, then it will just be our bad luck, how about that?” Shen Luo responded calmly and unhurriedly.

Yun Zhongting scrutinized Shen Luo intently, observing him for a moment. Seeing his serious expression, his own countenance grew solemn.

“Once you enter the lower level of the Martial God Altar, if you can't completely clear the Demonic Qi, the Upper Layer will absolutely not risk opening it. Are you truly willing to go in?” asked Yun Zhongting.

“It's worth a try. Whether it works or not, your Divine Tree Clan will not be at a loss,” Shen Luo smiled and replied.

“Big Brother Shen, don't be reckless…” urged Wu Man'er, unable to hold back.

“Do you really have a method to remove the Demonic Qi?” Jiang Shentian also couldn't help but send a telepathic message to ask him.

“Yes, but I can't be sure if it will work,” Shen Luo answered truthfully.

“How sure are you?” Jiang Shentian pressed.

“At most, thirty percent,” answered Shen Luo.

“Isn't that just courting death?” Jiang Shentian's eyebrows shot up in a moment.

“Do you have a better idea?” Shen Luo sent a message back directly.

Jiang Shentian was momentarily at a loss for words. He didn't have any plans, but as long as Shen Luo had one, he was willing to follow him.

“Are you truly capable?” Wu Kuihu asked with a concerned look.

“Elder, I value my life more than anyone else and would not risk it lightly,” Shen Luo stated.

“Alright, since that's the case, I won't say much more. If you truly have a way to resist the Demonic Qi's erosion, it might not be necessary to exert yourself to expunge it. Between the first layer and the second layer underground of the Martial God Altar, a Purification Demon Array was initially set up. However, it was damaged during the last invasion of the Demonic Beings.” Wu Kuihu nodded and said.

“That's even better, Junior just needs to repair the Purification Demon Array then, right?” Shen Luo's eyes brightened as he asked.

“Indeed. However, the extent of the damage to the Purification Demon Array is unclear, and only after you see it for yourself will you know the specifics. It is also possible that the Array is completely destroyed, and at that time, you will have to rely on your own method.” Wu Kuihu said.

“No problem,” Shen Luo said with a smile.

Seeing his composure from beginning to end, everyone couldn't help but believe him a little more.

“Clan Leader, this man harbors Demonic Qi within him. Allowing him to enter the Martial God Altar might be an unsafe decision,” Yun Zhongyue suddenly spoke up at this moment.

Her suspicion of Shen Luo had not relaxed at all.

“Elder Yun, if I were truly from the Demon Clan, wouldn't I be seeking death by asking to go to the Martial God Altar, which suppresses Demonic Beings? Once I enter, should there be the slightest unusual movement, you can simply seal the Martial God Altar. That way, I would also be thoroughly sealed below along with those Demonic Beings and Demonic Qi, wouldn't that be even more convenient?” Shen Luo said, slightly exasperated with a chuckle.

After hearing this, Yun Zhongyue was left speechless and could find no words to retort.

“Then let's proceed with the matter this way,” Wu Kuihu said.

“When shall we go?” Shen Luo asked.

“There's no need to rush. Preparations are needed before opening the Martial God Altar. Let's open it tomorrow morning,” Yun Zhongting said.

“Elder, Junior has one more presumptuous request,” Shen Luo began.

“Speak,” Yun Zhongting said with a frown.

“If Junior can truly accomplish what was promised, in addition to taking the Earth Mother's Original Liquid, could you also exonerate Man'er of her punishment? Back at Wuzhuang View, I owed Man'er a favor,” Shen Luo said.

Everyone was somewhat surprised to hear this, and Wu Man'er, looking at Shen Luo's profile, felt a warmth in her heart.

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhongting pondered for a moment and then said:

“Considering that Man'er left the clan to find the Spirit Tree Essence and reinforce the Martial God Altar's Seal, if you can remove a layer of Demonic Qi and repair the seal, her punishment will be exempted.”

“Thank you, Elder,” Shen Luo said as he bowed with clasped hands.

“Thank you, Big Brother Shen, thank you, Great Elder,” Wu Man'er said hurriedly, thanking both of them.

“Clan Leader, there are some details regarding this matter that require our discussion…” Yun Zhongting gestured with his hand and said to Wu Kuihu.

“That's right. Elder Yun also mentioned calling a meeting with the Elders earlier,” Wu Kuihu nodded and added.

Upon hearing this, Elder Yun's old face stiffened slightly, and he gave a light cough while leaning on his walking stick.

“Man'er, Tian Xing, they have come from afar and are among the few guests of our Divine Wood Clan. Treat them well, and bring them to the Martial God Altar at sunrise tomorrow,” Wu Kuihu instructed.

“Yes,” Wu Man'er and Man Tianxing both replied in unison.

After Wu Kuihu and the others had spoken, they were each enveloped in a green light and vanished on the spot.

Only Shen Luo and a few others were left on the platform.

Wu Man'er stared at the Divine Wood Primordial Spirit for a good while, her expression becoming somewhat solemn.

“Big Brother Shen, Big Brother Jiang, I intended to help out, but it seems I've dragged you into this instead,” she said with a light sigh, sounding somewhat apologetic.
