When he was still a sapling, he spent some time in Wushan, where he met Jin Lei.

However, Wushan was too quiet. Apart from him, who was just beginning to develop intelligence, and Jin Lei, the only other people there were the villagers at the foot of the mountain.

The villagers often went up the mountain to cut down trees. When he was still a sapling, he didn't have to think so much. It was just that the children would occasionally pluck off a handful of leaves.

As he grew, the branches became thicker, and the villagers began to notice him.

Even though it might have been a villager's unintentional glance, the little tree spirit was still so frightened that he cried; he could feel pain now.

Green sap dripped down the tree trunk, and the crying in the night attracted a man.

Why are you crying?

As the gentle voice rang out, the little tree spirit shed even more tears, "They're coming to cut me down, I can't escape."

"Don't cry. I hope you can avoid them in the future."

With a light tap of his fingertips, spiritual energy spread out, and in a burst of green light, the willow tree transformed into a child dressed in green.

"Thank you, Lord Jin Lei."

Watching the man's departing figure, the little tree spirit shouted loudly.

The little tree spirit knew his name was Jin Lei because a bird often flew in the sky, and the little black bird would call him that.

However, the sapling cannot be moved, and Jin Lei has never walked this way.

That very night, the little tree spirit left Wushan and arrived at a small town.

There were very few trees in the town, and the residents didn't make a living by cutting down trees, so he settled down there. Every now and then, he would go back to Wushan to see Jinlei.

But he didn't understand why adults were always so unhappy.

Then one day, he saw the overflowing spiritual energy of Wushan on the horizon. He rushed back to Wushan to investigate, but he could no longer enter.

A thousand years have passed since then.

The tree spirit realized that, until the very end, he still wanted to return to Wushan to see how Lord Jin Lei was doing.

——

Jin Lei?

I've been slaughtering people in Wushan for so long, but I've never heard of this name before. Could it be from a long time ago?

"Wushan is already..."

Liu Yin stood beside Tu Lu and quickly reached out to pinch his waist, stopping him from saying what he was about to say.

"We're going back to Wushan anyway, so of course we can give you a ride."

Thank you.

When Liu Yin interrupted the man, he was still a little confused as to why she did this, but after hearing what she said, he put that little doubt behind him.

Is she still willing to go back to Wushan with him?

A surge of joy welled up in the man's heart; he had thought that Liuyin would prefer this place.

He had indeed seen it; the royal city was more prosperous and bustling, and the beds were softer. He had thought...

So after Liuyin finished speaking, she noticed the man's burning gaze, which was blatantly blinding.

What did she just say?

Liu Yin's purpose in coming to the royal city this time was not only to witness its prosperity, but also to cause trouble for the demon exorcists.

Once those spirits realize that their bones will be used to make all sorts of weapons to fight against their own kind, things will get quite interesting.

The relationship between exorcists and demons is irreconcilable. Demons are bloodthirsty and greedy, while exorcists are ruthless and cunning.

In this battle of wits between the two sides, the only ones who suffer the most are the ordinary people.

Liu Yin remembered that in the great battle that followed, the people in the royal city became victims.

In order to create weapons, exorcists need to capture more monsters, while the spirits need to eat more food in order to increase their strength to fight against the exorcists.
