The dream world vanished.

The innocence and pitifulness on Deji Baixue's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a cold expression, as if her body had been taken over by another person.

“I have given you the opportunity to contact your people, and it was your last chance. You were unlucky not to see your mother one last time, it’s not my fault. I have fulfilled our agreement, so you should understand what will happen next,” Deji Baixue said to herself, her tone icy cold.

Then a weak voice echoed in her mind: "I know, I won't... I won't resist you anymore. Let it be, this is fine."

"very good."

Deji Baixue nodded in satisfaction.

Then, Deji Baixue took out a magical artifact and placed it in front of her.

After this magical artifact was activated, the dream-sensing communication array in the room immediately turned into a magnificent purple, emanating an ominous aura.

The dream world reappeared the next moment.

But this time, the dream world is not the lush, beautiful fairytale world it once was, but a world with a purplish-black sky, a purplish-black ground, and many terrifying and grotesque plants on the ground.

This dream world is like a scene that only appears in a nightmare.

Moreover, Deji Baixue's body wriggled and grew taller, quickly transforming into a mature woman.

What appeared to be legs and feet extending from beneath the woman's skirt were instead rows of blood-red tentacles!

Elder of the Spirit of Flesh and Blood, Dongfang Yu!

"It's time to show yourself, my friend." Dong Fengyu had a smile on her face, but her smile was full of malice no matter how you looked at it.

The illusory, bizarre, terrifying, and dark dream world trembled slightly, and the air in front of Dongfang Yu distorted and fluctuated.

Before long, a hazy, blurry figure began to appear.

"After three years, we've finally made contact again," the figure said with a chuckle, his voice sounding like two sheets of metal rubbing against each other, extremely grating.

Dongfang Yu said, "There's nothing we can do about it. It's not easy to contact the Venomous Plains using the Tree Spirit Clan's Dream Sensing Station and Dream Sensing Communication Array. We also have to be careful not to be discovered by them."

Then, Dongfang Yu asked, "Elder Hong, what is the current situation in the Venomous Plains?"

"It's still the same as before. This place is completely unsuitable for human survival. My disciples and I have already exhausted all our strength just to stay alive here," Elder Hong said slowly.

"Where is the Crimson-Tailed Beast?" Dongfang Yu asked again.

"Red-tailed beasts... Yes, the Poisonous Plains are teeming with Red-tailed beasts. We have to dig holes underground like moles to hide from these damned creatures. But don't worry, we're doing well now. The Red-tailed beasts can't find us for the time being," Elder Hong said with a smile.

"What I want to know is the current situation of the Crimson-Tailed Beast. To be honest, in the past two months, the Crimson-Tailed Beast has appeared near the Death Mountains more than once. I want to understand why this is?"

Dongfang Yu paused for a moment and then said, "Could it be that the number of Crimson-tailed Beasts in the Venomous Plains has increased to a threshold and they are about to invade outwards?"

"No, it hasn't reached that level yet, and in my opinion, the Crimson-Tailed Beasts won't be invading outwards for a very long time to come," Elder Hong said.

"Then why have Crimson-tailed Beasts appeared near the Death Mountains more than once? If the number of Crimson-tailed Beasts has not exceeded the threshold, how could they wander from the Poisonous Plains to the Death Mountains? You know, there is the Wall of Sighs around the Death Mountains!" Dongfang Yu said heavily.

"Perhaps there's something wrong with the Wall of Sighs, or perhaps a small number of Red-tailed Beasts just happened to pass through there. You must understand that Red-tailed Beasts are not inanimate objects, but living monsters. Although most Red-tailed Beasts are like wild beasts and have little intelligence, they don't stay in one place and remain still."

"If that's the case, what's so strange about the Crimson-Tailed Beast crossing the Wall of Sighs and scaling the Mountain of Death?"

Elder Hong chuckled, seemingly not finding the question Dongfang Yu had asked particularly difficult to understand.

Dongfang Yu said, "Okay, I accept your statement."

"Please convey to the sect leader that we will always be a part of the flesh and blood spirit, and we will change this era together," Elder Hong said.

"I will convey your message, Elder Hong," Dongfang Yu nodded.

“Then let’s end this communication here,” Elder Hong said.

The dream world vanished.

Dongfang Yu opened her eyes, but the woman sitting in the room still looked like Deji Baixue.

Just then, footsteps came from outside, followed by a loud knocking on the door.

Deji Baixue then stood up, put the magical artifact in front of her into her storage ring, and then went over to open the door.

A tree spirit woman appeared outside the door and asked, "We just discovered that the dream communication array in your room seems to be malfunctioning..."

"Really? I didn't feel it. My communication with my people went very smoothly," Dongfang Yu said with a smile.

"Perhaps it's just that the dream communication array is malfunctioning somewhere. Since it's not affecting your use, that's great. Sister, you can continue. I won't bother you any longer," the tree spirit woman said with a smile.

"No need, I've already used it. Thank you, my dear sister," Dongfang Yu said, a smug smile playing on her lips.

After leaving the Dream Station, Dongfang Yu prepared to leave the town.

However, as soon as Dongfang Yu stepped out of the town and into the mountains, he stopped.

A woman of the Tree Spirit Clan stood before them, holding a slender longsword in her hand.

It's autumn leaves in Kampot!

"Sister Qiuye, I didn't expect you to be waiting for me here. However, our destinations are different now, so we might not be going the same way," Dongfang Yu said with a smile.

"You disgust me."

"Gongbu Qiuye said coldly, his eyes sharp and fixed on Dongfang Yu without blinking."

"Stop pretending to be a member of our Tree Spirit Clan! Show your true form, you monster!" Gongbu Qiuye said coldly, his true energy already circulating and flowing into the longsword in his hand.

Then the slender longsword released a dazzling green sheen and emitted a strong fluctuation of true energy.

"How did you find me?" Dongfang Yu's body began to change, and soon she transformed from the pure and lovely Tree Spirit Clan woman Deji Baixue into her terrifying and ferocious appearance.

"A person of flesh and blood?"

Gongbu Qiuye looked at the bright red tentacles extending from the bottom of Dongfang Yu's skirt and asked with a frown.

"Indeed, I am Dongfang Yu, the Grand Elder of the Spirit of Flesh and Blood. It is your honor to see my true face, but unfortunately, you are about to die here."
