"Zhang Yang!" Jiang Ruan was extremely worried, squatting by the door while observing the situation inside.

Above Zhang Yang was a net the size of a bee's eye, three meters long, and transparent, making it extremely difficult to see.

If Jiang Ruan hadn't been cautious and known there was an ambush, she probably would have rushed in, and then it wouldn't just be herself who would have been hurt.

Even Zhang Yang, who was below him, might be in danger.

"Xiaoyu, activate your spatial ability. I need to spy on everything from inside the space. That will be much safer." Jiang Ruan felt this was the safest method.

Yes, Master.

Immediately, Jiang Ruan felt her fingers burning and was quickly pulled into the space, where she saw the baby sleeping lightly by the spiritual spring.

Without disturbing them, they walked over to the transparent screen.

I witnessed with my own eyes that Zhang Yang was only half a body, wriggling there like a worm.

In an inconspicuous corner of the room, the Zombie King was indeed crouching there, with Jiang Ruan annoyed by Hua Yi right next to it.

Unexpectedly, he actually colluded with it.

"Splash, splash..." An Xia walked in barefoot, splashing through the water. Her hair was combed up, making her look energetic and capable.

As soon as she came in, she rushed to Hua Yi's side and said in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Brother Yi, Zhang Yang isn't dead yet. Do you really think Jiang Ruan would walk right into his trap for him? We arrived one after the other, but she hasn't shown up yet. Do you think she's scared and ran away?"

Hua Yi slightly pursed her lips, but still gently stroked An Xia's hair and said, "Don't worry, she will definitely come to save him. My boss, put aside everything else, I admire her loyalty. If I hadn't hurt her because of some things, I probably wouldn't be in such a mess now."

An Xia leaned against his chest with heartache, gently holding Hua Yi's still intact hand with one hand and stroking his face with the other, saying, "It's okay, you're not embarrassed at all. I love you, just like before. It was all a misunderstanding before, because of what some people said that made me prejudiced and hateful towards you. Fortunately, we've finally made it official now, it's okay."

Anxia's comforting words stirred Hua Yi's heart, but a glint flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a chill, because he had only ever used her from beginning to end.

If she hadn't had such a close relationship with Jiang Ruan, why would I have approached her?

Having witnessed everything, Jiang Ruan naturally remembered their words. She sneered, took out the crumpled paper that An Xia had slipped into her palm before leaving, and slowly unfolded it. Inside were only two words: "Trust me!"

Jiang Ruan knew what decision An Xia might have made, but how could she...?

She couldn't hide the disgust she felt at that moment, not towards An Xia, but towards Hua Yi, because she saw that person pick up Zhang Yang's scattered leg, take a bite, and then throw it to the little zombie next to the zombie king.

That little zombie liked to eat human flesh, and it ate the leg in just a few bites.

The Zombie King slowly got up and walked to Zhang Yang's side. He touched Zhang Yang's blood-stained head and reached out his right hand to take out the crystal, but was stopped by Hua Yi who had rushed over.

"No, taking it will definitely cause a riot. If I'm not mistaken, his crystal level is obviously not low. Doing this will alert him too much. It's definitely not a good idea. I don't agree with you doing this."

"Have you forgotten that your target is Jiang Ruan? Her crystal could easily make you a god in an instant. Why would you care about a mere Zhang Yang?"

Hua Yi thought of a better way to torture Jiang Ruan, so he stopped the zombie king. He couldn't let this guy ruin his plans.

The Zombie King withdrew his hand and looked at Hua Yi suspiciously, as if pondering how credible his words were.

Finally, it completely let go, because Hua Yi took out a crystal from her bosom, which was far superior to the one inside Zhang Yang's body.

"Hua Yi, where did you get this? This crystal looks so familiar. I have a feeling of déjà vu when I see it."

The moment Anxia saw the crystal, she seemed to freeze, completely motionless, with only her mouth still able to utter a few words.

Hua Yi smiled and said, "They're just some low-grade crystals, nothing special. You're probably familiar with them because I've carried them around for a long time. That's all. Don't overthink it."

As she spoke, Hua Yi pulled An Xia into the shadows. Her grip was so strong that An Xia couldn't break free and was dragged along.

The zombie king continued chewing on the head, slowly following behind them. Its steps, though slow, were powerful, each one causing the ground to tremble slightly.

Anxia turned to look at the zombie king, a sense of dread washing over her. This zombie king seemed to be thoroughly enjoying this torturous process, as if it considered itself a supreme ruler.

"What exactly do you want?" Anxia shouted angrily at Huayi. However, Huayi did not answer her question, but continued to drag her forward.

Finally, they arrived at a dark corner. Without sunlight, it felt particularly eerie and terrifying. Hua Yi stopped, turned around, and looked coldly at An Xia.

"Now, I'll show you what I'm capable of!" Hua Yi said through gritted teeth. Then, he raised his foot and kicked An Xia hard in the stomach.

Anxia bent over in pain, her face contorted in agony. But she did not give in; instead, she endured the pain, stood up straight, and stared at Huayi with disbelief and rage.

"You vicious person! You've been lying to me all along! Those were An Chun's crystals, weren't they! Or maybe they were Li Ming's too! You killed both of them!" An Xia roared.

She understood, she understood everything. Hua Yi was convinced that she would be deceived and had found her weakness to attack.

She regretted it. She was worried about Jiang Ruan, wondering how she was doing and whether she had made it through.

"What? Don't you love me? If you love me, you should know that it's worth it to give everything for me, instead of staring at me like that."

Hua Yi gently lifted An Xia's chin and said in a slightly teasing tone.

"Pah! Hua Yi, you deserve to die!" An Xia was filled with the bitterness of being deceived. Her good intentions had been wasted, and she was in great pain.

Hua Yi pulled her up from the ground and took the black sacred wood from her chest.

In front of An Xia, he took her hand and dripped his blood onto it, then quickly dripped his own blood onto it as well.

With both sides coexisting, and given Hua Yi's special constitution, the Black Divine Tree was mistakenly identified as its master, and now Hua Yi has become its new master.

"What...did you do?" Anxia asked in horror.

"He certainly did some shameless things!"

"Ruan Ruan, you're here!"
