Ying Shugui was so anxious he was jumping up and down, looking like he was about to cry. "Boss, is Xiao Tao alright?"
Xia Tianqiong comforted her, "Even if she dies, I can bring her back to life."
As they talked, countless wood chips fell from the withered tree, like a sandstorm, filling the sky.
The entire dead tree gradually shrank.
Originally a thousand meters high, it gradually shrank to five or six hundred meters.
Only then did they realize that after the sawdust fell off, smooth branches and trunk were exposed.
Like a withered tree coming back to life, the entire tree has regained its vitality.
On the originally bare branches, countless green leaves sprouted like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, followed by a profusion of peach blossoms.
Upon closer inspection, Xia Tianqiong discovered that it had even produced sacred peaches.
The whole process lasted five or six minutes.
"Boss, I feel great right now, like I have inexhaustible energy!"
Xiao Tao's voice came from the big tree; she had taken control of her new body.
"Now that you have the strength of a peak-level Ghost General, you naturally have inexhaustible power."
Xia Tianqiong said with a smile, but there was a slight hint of disappointment in her eyes.
I originally thought I could create a Demon King, but it turned out to be just a Demon General.
It could be because the true form of the Demon King has been sealed for too long, or it could be due to some problems in the process of his operation.
But in any case, having gained another cunning general under his command is ultimately a good thing.
Suddenly, the large peach tree transformed into a streak of light, instantly taking on a human form—countless times faster than its first transformation.
Ying Shugui's eyes widened suddenly, filled with disbelief and a complex mix of emotions.
What appeared before everyone was no longer a budding young girl, but a graceful and mature woman.
Her face hasn't changed, but her figure and temperament have completely changed; she's more mature and charming than before.
It gives you the illusion of a sudden, dramatic change in appearance.
The infant tree spirit tentatively asked, "Are you... are you still Little Peach?"
Xiao Tao smiled sweetly, a smile with a touch of allure, "Brother, of course I'm Xiao Tao, who else could I be?"
"Do you really possess the strength of a peak-level Ghost General now?"
"It seems so. I feel like I'm just a hair's breadth away from becoming the Demon King."
Hearing this, Xia Tianqiong was overjoyed.
But Ying Shugui pursed his lips and put on a stern face, seemingly unhappy.
Xiao Tao hadn't noticed yet; she was telling him about the changes and feelings in her body.
At this moment, the old woman in the burial clothes walked to Xia Tianqiong's side. "Her transformation just now emitted a large amount of Netherworld power, which is spreading to the surrounding area."
Her true form was once the King of Ghosts; this Netherworld power can spread hundreds of thousands of miles, which will likely alarm many powerful figures in the Ghost Realm. We'd better leave as soon as possible.
Upon hearing this, Xia Tianqiong immediately recalled all the contracted ghosts and stopped looting, since there was nothing of value left anyway.
After collecting all the contractual demons into the mirror space, he boarded the Void-Breaking Bus and immediately fled.
Three days after he left.
The Silver Fir Clan Elder and several other mysterious generals finally returned.
They stood frozen in shock at the sight of the devastated settlement.
Besides extreme anger, there was also a deep sense of doubt.
Before them lay a vast expanse of primeval jungle, riddled with pits.
In some places, large vacant lots have even appeared.
From high above, it looks like patches of baldness on the top of a head.
What's even more infuriating is that not a single tree spirit was left; they truly looted everything.
But when they arrived at the spot where the sacred tree had once stood, they saw only a huge hollow. Their anger was abruptly halted, replaced by shock and panic.
"The sacred tree is gone! The forbidden area is gone too!"
The Silver Fir elder floated in the air, staring blankly at the void below.
Even if all the tree spirits are captured, as long as the forbidden area and the sacred tree remain, the tree spirit race will eventually recover.
But now they're all gone; the decline of the Tree Demon Clan is a foregone conclusion.
The elder of the Silver Fir clan remained silent for a long time, as if he had lost his soul.
Then, he suddenly roared to the sky, "I am not reconciled! I will find him, no matter where he is, whether in the underworld or the human world, I will catch him, until he is dead."
...
Let's go back to Xia Tianqiong.
He directed the Void-Breaking Bus toward the Floating City, and then re-entered the Mirror Space.
Hundreds of contracted ghosts were busy taking stock of the spoils from the raid, each one thoroughly enjoying their work.
The delivery guy, beaming with smiles, rushed over.
"Master, we've reaped too much this time, and we're a bit short-handed. We haven't even taken stock yet. How about we sign contracts with the prisoners who have already agreed to them first? That way we'll have more manpower."
Xia Tianqiong asked with a smile, "How many of these are consent contracts?"
The deliveryman began to report as if reciting a familiar story: "There are relatively few Tree Ghosts. Only forty-eight have been persuaded. The others are still observing, probably waiting for the attitude of those two elders."
As for the Void Clan, all 375 prisoners have agreed to the contract, with Leng Manjin and Leng Tiancheng contributing the most.
It can be said that the Void Clan was wiped out because they offended Xia Tianqiong; they both hated and revered him.
They shouldn't have been so easily persuaded, but when they saw the strange behavior of Leng Manjin, Leng Tianpeng, Wang Baisheng, the old butler, Lao Bai, and the rest of the Leng family, their mentality collapsed.
So the Leng family had already betrayed us! No wonder they suffered such a crushing defeat!
After some persuasion, they all readily agreed to be contracted.
For no other reason than they discovered that these strange members of the Leng family were living a particularly comfortable life here, not only receiving a monthly salary but also being able to collect ghost money.
