"Mr. Xia, I didn't expect to see you here."
Xia Tianqiong looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Old Liu who was speaking.
"Oh, it was you!"
"I would like to invite you to my home to thank you for saving my life. Without your help, I would not have been able to escape."
Old Liu greeted them warmly, his face full of gratitude.
Xia Tianqiong shook her head and refused, "No need to thank me, we're helping each other. I'll look around here some more, and I'll visit your home again later."
To the other tree spirits, it seemed like they were just exchanging a few simple pleasantries.
But in reality, they communicated with each other using their minds as soon as they met, which was something that others couldn't hear.
"Boss, everything went smoothly, and it was done exactly as you instructed."
The one who sent the message to Xia Tianqiong was not Old Liu, but the Infant Tree Ghost, which had been hiding inside Old Liu's body all along.
When Xia Tianqiong was making the plan, he was worried that Lao Liu, who had just submitted, would not cooperate, so he used the power of reincarnation to stuff the consciousness of the Infant Tree Ghost into Lao Liu's body.
It was a form of surveillance, to prevent Lao Liu from betraying him for the sake of his own clan.
In retrospect, Lao Liu was quite loyal.
While speaking with her mouth, Xia Tianqiong also responded to Ying Shugui with her thoughts.
"You two can begin your mission now. Be careful and don't expose yourselves. Also, find an opportunity to go out and tell Old Man Wang and Burning Ghost that the plan is ahead of schedule, and that you should go all out and leave no room for maneuver."
"Got it, boss, don't worry!"
After a brief exchange of thoughts, Xia Tianqiong turned and left, continuing to stroll and shop in the market.
No sooner had he left than the nearby tree spirits began asking Old Willow why he knew a human and was even thanking him for saving his life.
Old Liu enthusiastically explained the whole story to them, just as he had told the three elders in the main hall yesterday.
This time, however, there was a slight embellishment.
Thus, all the tree spirits present knew that their sacred artifacts were in the hands of the Void Spirit Clan, and also knew how cruelly the Void Spirit Clan treated their own kind.
In an instant, many people were angry, and many tree spirits clamored for revenge and to take back the tree stump!
Looking at the scene, Lao Liu thought to himself that the first step was complete. Next, he would go to various villages to spread the word and let the entire Tree Ghost Clan know about it.
