Meanwhile, the Wisdom Tree Essence Soul in Su Zhou's Soul Space chirped with glee, "Good! Hungry, hungry, hungry!"
"Stop yelling about being hungry. Tsk, now you're making me hungry too."
Forced to drop his serious demeanor, Su Zhou gulped. His eyes fixed longingly on the seemingly new-grown peaches in the grove before him, and he muttered, "Not now... We have other tasks. We'll come back later to... 'communicate' with these peaches... no, with this Divine Wood."
With that said, he prepared to press on, intending to fly across the Jade Pool toward the Five Mountains of Kunlun, which were now just a short distance away.
However, with the WHOOSH of a great wind, a gale suddenly whipped up from the far side of the Jade Pool. It rode the wispy clouds and rapidly approached Su Zhou's position.
This newcomer's intentions were hostile.
'It didn't take instinct, just a little common sense, to know that the being within the gale wasn't coming over for a friendly chat.'
