Geng Qi frowned immediately.

He thought that the spirit of this secret realm, having existed for tens of thousands of years, should have its own physical form by now. But he never expected that the secret realm would have such a unique taste, choosing a corpse tree as its physical form!

His expression was very strange.

As for the other two, Ji Rong treated the person as an ordinary corpse tree, so naturally he couldn't read anything about them. But the secret realm was different. He looked at Ji Rong and suddenly grinned: "The Yi Ling clan, who have been hiding in the small barrier for thousands of years, have actually managed to come out one day."

Ji Rong remained silent.

Geng Qi said at the right moment, "People have to get out and explore after staying in one place for too long. Staying in one place all the time will drive you crazy!"

"Won't you suffocate if you stay here too long?"

"..." Dude, I'm scared when you talk like that!

Do you really have to break a sentence down to finish it? Didn't your mother teach you not to use commas randomly?

The "secret realm" then turned its gaze to Geng Qi, focusing on his tightly clenched hands: "What you want, I'll get it back for you, okay?"

These words were spoken to Ji Rong. Geng Qi glanced at him and, seeing that he remained unmoved, breathed a sigh of relief.

In short, this person is always on their side when facing danger, and is a trustworthy partner!

No one responded. The "secret realm" had already made its move on its own. Without any visible action, the golden light around the cave suddenly turned into a ghostly blue, like flames in the underworld.

Several streaks of fire appeared around him, making his already pale face look even more eerie. Due to the conflicting attributes, Ji Rong's expression immediately became solemn.

Before the flames could attack them, Geng Qi suddenly said, "Wait a minute, I remember you said that a Venerable Lord left behind a wisp of his spiritual consciousness to help you take human form?"

"Secret Realm"'s eyes lit up: "Yes, do you know him?"

“I know him!” Geng Qi said, “To tell you the truth, that man is my father.”

The saying goes, "The son pays for the father's debts." The son should reap the rewards of the father's actions. In order to repay the debt, you have to let us go!

Feng Yuan is working hard to fuse, but this fusion seems to be much slower than the last one because there is no one to help.

Thinking of the red-robed protector in the Demon Palace, Geng Qi suddenly realized that he had been away for far too long, as if it had never been this long!

The person opposite him was stunned for a moment after hearing what he said, then grinned again, his eyes shining brightly, almost as if the word "excitement" was written all over his face.

It's promising!

Geng Qi raised an eyebrow slightly, just waiting for the person to be grateful, when the person's mouth, which stretched to his ears, suddenly opened wide, and the dark blue flames flared up, rapidly flying towards him.

The purplish-black flames clashed rapidly, colliding with the ghostly blue fire and scattering sparks. Geng Qi swiftly flashed behind Rong Yu, clinging to his shoulder and saying, "What a miscalculation! This is repaying kindness with enmity!"

Rong Yu: "..."

"Secret Realm" stared wide-eyed at the flames that were being devoured or dissipated by the purplish-black flames. Suddenly, it looked at the person "hiding" opposite it with a strange gaze, and a light seemed to flicker in its eyes: "It's you, it's you, it's definitely you."

Geng Qi: "..."

Do you think Nezha has a younger brother?

"I've waited a thousand years, and finally I've met you."

"..." A once-in-a-millennium opportunity?

Geng Qi's lips twitched; he thought he had just watched two great shows!

The "Secret Realm" was still smiling, but his eyes were now filled with hatred. He raised his hands slightly and condensed a huge, dark blue fireball. If this exploded, the entire cave would collapse!

Geng Qi was puzzled.

If the former Demon Lord really helped him, why does the secret realm hate him so much?

Could it be because he doesn't believe he is the son of that revered lord?

But he just said, "It's him, it's him, it's definitely him!"

Startled by his own confusion, Geng Qi lowered his head and glanced at the blood-red tree root that had been kicked into the corner. He suddenly froze, instantly understanding where the hatred of the "secret realm" came from!

To put it bluntly, it's still the father who ruins the son!

Seeing the fireball in the man's hand grow larger and larger, Geng Qi leisurely asked, "Why did he throw you into the forest of corpses?"

"..."

"Secret Realm" paused, and the flames around the fireball in his hand flickered.

He suddenly put on a wronged look: "I...I just wanted to...play around with him!"

"..." You really have a unique taste, venturing into the Forest of Corpses!

As if thinking of something amusing, "Secret Realm" chuckled: "I created a world for him, the world he wanted, so beautiful, so interesting, but he didn't like it. He came out, he wanted to leave, no, I can't let him leave. I, I planted him in a tree, no, he planted me in a tree..."

"..."

Geng Qi glanced at the people around him, and his mind automatically filled in the blanks with the story: The secret realm did something similar to what Rong Yu did to his father. His father walked out on his own and even pulled out the spirit of the secret realm. His father wanted to leave, but the secret realm wouldn't let him and tried to turn him into a tree. As a result, he was transformed and planted in the Corpse Forest.

Isn't this all your own fault?!

Thinking of the suffering Rong Yu endured in the illusion, Geng Qi was still incredibly angry and wanted to beat someone up!

But "Secret Realm" didn't seem to be stopping his story. He laughed one moment and was sad the next, confused one moment and frowning the next: "In that forest of corpses, I was food for the fleas. The corpse trees there could all turn into people. Once they turned into people, they could walk. But..." Secret Realm suddenly lowered his voice: "But once the corpse trees grew into people and walked away, the fleas had no food. So... so every now and then, they would patrol the forest of corpses. They would eat the trees that were about to grow, bite by bite. My hands were gone, my legs were gone, my head, my internal organs, everything was gone. I wanted to die, I didn't want to grow anymore, but I had no head. I didn't know. When I woke up, I was eaten again. I couldn't scream, because if I screamed, they would bite off my head. As long as the tree roots were still there, I couldn't die. The fleas were always there, and I couldn't escape. A thousand years, a thousand years! I finally got out of there. I got out."
