Ye Haochuan listened to the sincere plea of the Eldest Elder of the Fire Tree Human, nodding and saying, "Release us, and I will treat you immediately."
"No! Eldest Elder. Humans are cunning; if we release them, they will run away, and we won't be able to catch up with them," Yige interjected.
"Shut up... Yige... nobody... can cure... my disease, only he... can cure it, and therefore... even if it costs... my life... I'm willing... to risk it... esteemed... guest, I... believe... in you..."
The Eldest Elder slowly spoke.
"With those words alone, I will surely cure your disease," Ye Haochuan confidently said.
"Eldest Elder..." Yige tried to speak again.
"Shut up..." The Eldest Elder twisted its trunk, releasing a mid-stage Innate Realm pressure.
Instantly, the tree roots binding Ye Haochuan and the other seven fell off.
"Oh..." Under the mid-stage Innate Realm pressure, Yige had no choice but to shut up.
