Tree King: What? I've become the Abundant Pharmacist?

Chapter 271 Traitor

"The furnace... has gone out."

Dan Shu stood quietly in front of Jianmu. Although she couldn't see, she could feel the fog thinning.

She reached out and gently stroked the branches of the Jianmu tree; the life force surged beneath the bark.

It was this power that captivated her, drove her mad, and enabled her to fulfill her desires.

Save that person.

However, there are still some problems to solve.

"It's alright, what was bound to happen will happen eventually." Dan Shu turned around.

A series of footsteps approached, and Fu Xuan led the Cloud Cavalry to the scene, with the train crew following closely behind.

"It's here! The final boss!"

Xing could tell at a glance that the guy in front of him was not human.

"You still ended up here." Dan Shu was not surprised.

“It’s you, Dan Shu.” Fu Xuan walked forward calmly, without much surprise in his eyes.

"Chief Dan greets Lord Taibu... You don't seem surprised." Dan Shu was puzzled.

“Yes, the ‘Secret Teachings of the Medicine King’ must be hidden in the Pill Refining Department. The General and I are well aware of this.” Fu Xuan nodded.

"In addition, we have a list as a backup. The reason we didn't take action before was simply because we didn't have the time. Also, it was to give you a chance."

“But now it seems you didn’t cherish the opportunity.” Fu Xuan’s eyes sharpened.

"You brought evil spirits from the star core into the immortal ship, reborn the Jianmu tree, and lured people into falling into the demonic realm... The Ten Kings will settle accounts with you one by one for these heinous crimes."

“Opportunity? Sin?” Dan Shu laughed.

"If my actions are guilty, then the ancestors of the Immortal Ship will be guilty as well! It was they who accepted the gift of 'Abundance,' transforming their descendants into immortal beings..."

"The 'Secret Teachings of the Medicine King' is merely following the path they once walked, pursuing transcendence. What crime is there in that?"

"At that time, the Jianmu Mystic Roots enveloped the Luofu Immortal Ship, as if it were a living thing. Our race dominated the starry sea, unmatched in its power. Everyone could attain immortality and transform at will. Abundant divine miracles descended upon the nine immortal ships; what a glorious era that was..."

"And look at what has become of the Immortal Ship now?! Driven by the demonic bow, it has repeatedly brought ruin to the prosperous people, and the Ten Kings' Court has even forced us to give up immortality..."

"How lamentable! I don't blame you for your ignorance. We weren't born in the era when the Jianmu tree first descended, to witness that miracle. But now, we still have the opportunity to restore the ancient ways..."

"So, it's your turn to be given a chance!" Dan Shu clenched his fist.

Fu Xuan snorted coldly, "I thought you had some profound theories, but they're just old clichés about pursuing power and abandoning humanity."

"The ancient inhabitants of the Immortal Ship fought alongside the Emperor's Bow, destroyed the Jianmu tree, and established the 'Ten Kings' to define life and death, all in order to live again as humans."

"Immortals? There are no immortals on this immortal ship. What 'abundance' miracle, what manipulation of life and death—your actions are nothing but the deeds of monsters!"

Dan Shu looked at Fu Xuan without changing his expression, unmoved by his words.

“It’s pointless to say anything when we don’t see eye to eye, Your Excellency. You have made your choice. You have abandoned your power… that was the most foolish choice.” She shook her head helplessly.

"However, before that, I still need to deal with the traitors within the Medicine King's Secret Teachings."

At Dan Shu's command, two demonic figures beside her threw out two people who were bound hand and foot.

On March 7th, upon closer inspection, the stars revealed gray lichen and green hibiscus.

The two of them were tied up and their mouths were gagged, so they could only make muffled noises as they looked at them, their eyes filled with pain.

"How could you two be like this?" March 7th's eyes widened in disbelief.

Aren't Grey Lichen and Green Hibiscus highly regarded in the Medicine King's Secret Manual? They're Eve's right and left protectors, so how could they possibly be tied up?

"These two look familiar to you, don't they? Gray Peony and Pink Lychee," Dan Shu said casually.

"You...you know who we are?" March 7 asked incredulously.

"Of course." Dan Shu sneered.

"What is rightfully mine, I will eventually take back."

"Of course, the fate of traitors is well known."

Dan Shu waved his hand, and the two demonic figures beside him stepped forward with knives, aiming them at the heads of Green Hibiscus and Gray Lily.

"Ugh... Ugh..." Gray Lichen and Green Hibiscus struggled desperately, tears welling up in their eyes.

“You guys…” March 7th became excited. Although the two of them were not mentally sound, they were still Eve’s subordinates, and they had treated them quite well.

Just as March 7th was about to rush over, Fu Xuan stopped him.

"Taishu, why are you stopping me?"

"Be careful, it might be a trap," Fu Xuan said calmly. "Besides, both of them are also disciples of the Medicine King."

“This…” March 7th hesitated.

Fu Xuan's meaning is already very clear.

Going undercover is just a job; it's wrong to develop feelings for it.

“Star…” March 7th looked at Star for help.

Xing didn't say much, and walked forward with the stick in his hand.

But then, Walter Young's scepter suddenly hooked onto Star's shoulder.

"The bigger picture is what matters," Walter Young said simply.

After all, this is no child's play. The order of events on the battlefield can change in an instant. What if this is a trap set by the enemy?

Xing gripped the staff tightly, broke free of the scepter, and was about to rush out when suddenly a man in white robes blocked her way and stopped her in her tracks.

"and many more."

A gentle voice rang out.

Upon seeing the white robe and hearing the voice, Xing froze.

She recognized who it was at a glance.

"Who?" Fu Xuan immediately became wary of the white-robed man who had suddenly appeared.

The person in the white robe was wearing a white robe and a hood, but strangely, even though the robe was not completely covering her, her face could not be seen at all; only a strand of silver hair could be seen.

"Wait, white robe, silver hair..." Fu Xuan suddenly realized something.

The moment March 7th saw the white robe, he exclaimed "Wow!" in excitement.

"Ugh... Tree King... You've finally... ugh... arrived."

The gray lichen and green hibiscus, who were struggling on the ground, realized who it was and shed tears of excitement, desperately making muffled noises.

Sure enough, they hadn't followed the wrong person; the Tree King had come to their rescue!

Dan Shu sensed the familiar presence and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"As expected, you've come. I knew I could trick you out of it."

"You are not worthy to execute me," Eve's voice rang out from beneath the white robe.

Although the face was not clearly visible, one could still sense a powerful and angry aura.

"Tree King...?" Fu Xuan extracted the keyword and looked at the white-robed man not far away in disbelief.

Could it be that she is the rumored new leader of the Medicine King?

But what exactly is this Dan Shu?

Fu Xuan's mind raced.

"Your people? Heh, they're nothing but a traitor to the Medicine King." Dan Shu sneered.

“Really? Then you can give it a try.” Eve raised her hand, and an old-fashioned forest book appeared in her palm.
