Hanging from the trees are the monsters that just disappeared, just like the one that was just created. They have no life force, and their limbs hang freely to the ground...

Looking at the trees, which were as big as a mountain, covered with countless corpses, Li Zhu felt a chill run down his spine. Just how many people had died?

He had previously felt sorry for the King of Loulan, whose death was so unjust, but now he had no such thoughts at all. That bastard deserved to die a thousand deaths to atone for his sins…

At a glance, there were tens of thousands of corpses visible within the field of vision, because the tree canopy was so vast that it was impossible to see exactly how many bodies there were...

The dazzling light emanates from within the tree canopy, undoubtedly lending it an air of mystery…

Once the vines created a monster, they quickly returned to the canopy and became part of the army of corpses…

Li Zhu noticed his brow was growing increasingly hot, echoing the light within the tree canopy, and the feeling of being called out grew stronger…

Li Zhu instinctively wanted to fly towards the treetop to see what secrets were hidden there…

But a cool sensation rushed into his mind, instantly waking Li Zhu up. This also made him feel a wave of fear. He had almost been mentally controlled. Could this tree canopy be an intelligent being? Otherwise, why would it have such powerful mental strength?

Although he escaped the tree canopy's mental control, it didn't mean others could. He instantly pulled Little Dragon Girl into his arms, preventing her from looking down at the tree canopy below and avoiding any harm to her…

His actions brought a smile to Xiaolongnu's lips. She hugged Li Zhu tightly, as if afraid he would leave her at any moment...

Harik wasn't so lucky. The moment he looked up at the treetops, his body seemed to freeze. The vines didn't rush towards him; instead, they just let him stand there grinning foolishly…

"God, I have redeemed all sins, and I want to embrace God..."

As he finished speaking, his body seemed to be controlled, slowly moving closer to the treetop…

Li Zhu could see the happiness on Harik's face, as if his own sins had truly been redeemed...

He leaped into the crevice without fear, a relieved smile on his face. At that moment, Harik was indeed happy, for he seemed to see God…

His body fell into the treetops and vanished instantly. All the soldiers Harik had brought with him, including himself, perished there…

Lan Fenghuang's body paused for a moment, but the next instant, a black aura enveloped her, bringing her back to her senses. This made her dare not look down again…

But if he doesn't watch his step, he can't effectively avoid the vines' attacks, which puts her in a dangerous situation...

Her men, whom she had brought in, had all been killed or wounded; she was the only one left…

Seeing that Li Zhu still had the energy to protect others, a cold glint flashed in Lan Fenghuang's eyes. To alleviate his own pressure, he immediately spoke loudly.

"Li Zhu, I think you should know Wang Riqing, right?"

Upon hearing the other person mention Qingqing, Li Zhu paused for a moment, then looked at Lan Fenghuang, wondering how she knew that name…

"You kidnapped Qingqing?"

Fei Xing told him that Wang Riqing had disappeared suddenly and there had been no news of him since. He knew that this was likely targeting him, so he had been very high-profile, hoping that the person who had kidnapped Wang Riqing would find him. He was determined to rescue Wang Riqing, no matter the conditions...

"She was too presumptuous to follow me, that's how we found out. I originally wanted to kill her, but she had your scent on her, so we spared her life..."

Blue Phoenix said calmly!

Where is she?

Li Zhu frowned and asked, his eyes filled with undisguised concern.

Do you think I would tell you so easily?

Blue Phoenix said coldly!

"So what do you want?"

Li Zhu questioned her while fighting!

"If I die, the Gu poison in Wang Riqing's body will erupt, and she will die in agony for three days and three nights, wailing in agony..."

Lan Fenghuang didn't reveal what she wanted to do, but rather stated the consequences Wang Riqing would have to face if she died…

"You...how cruel you are..."

Li Zhu said angrily that the other party simply wanted him to protect her. He didn't want to pay any attention to her, but he didn't dare to gamble. If what she said was true, and she died, Wang Riqing wouldn't survive either...

Li Zhu leaped up, shattering the surrounding vines, and seized the opportunity to appear beside Lan Fenghuang, cutting off the vines clinging to her and rescuing her from danger…

“Stay by my side…”

Li Zhu spoke coldly, his face full of reluctance, but Lan Fenghuang seemed oblivious, even tracing a line across Li Zhu's face with her finger and speaking in a teasing tone.

"He's not bad looking, no wonder girls like him..."

Li Zhu's face immediately darkened. He wanted to say, "We're risking our lives, can't you be normal for once?"

However, the other party will most likely ignore his request; their goal is to kill him so they can obtain a fragment of the demon god's soul from him...

Li Zhu suddenly grabbed Lan Fenghuang and threw her into the air. Countless vines shot up and pierced straight towards her chest...

"You bastard, you're trying to kill me..."

Faced with Lan Fenghuang's anger, Li Zhu did not respond, but instead swept out the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow in his hand, cutting off all the vines that were piercing towards Lan Fenghuang...

Lan Fenghuang landed at this moment. Faced with Lan Fenghuang's stunning beauty, Li Zhu had absolutely no intention of showing her any mercy, letting her fall to the ground in freefall...

Thump...

Lan Fenghuang felt as if her internal organs were being burned; the fall nearly made her faint...

But that wasn't all. Li Zhu sensed two vines appearing beneath Lan Fenghuang. Ignoring whether she was wearing the short skirt typical of Miao women, he grabbed her ankles and, keeping close to the ground, shifted her ninety degrees...

The moment Lan Fenghuang moved away, the vines shot skyward. If Li Zhu had been even a second slower, Lan Fenghuang would have met her end there…

After cutting the vines, Li Zhu stood with his knife in hand, looking at the disheveled Lan Fenghuang…

Li Zhu tossed her around like a sandbag, and Lan Fenghuang's eyes were practically spitting fire. When had she ever been treated like this before, given her looks?

She was about to snap at Li Zhu, but then she realized that if she did, she might be treated even worse. So she did the opposite, stood up, and smiled at Li Zhu, saying...

"As expected of His Highness the Crown Prince, he's so domineering. I like it..."

He had been waiting for Lan Fenghuang to lose her temper so he could continue humiliating her, but he hadn't expected her to pull this stunt. Li Zhu was completely taken aback by Lan Fenghuang's seductive manner...
