Inside the alley, Yu Luo's ethereal figure, wearing a veil, fixed its gaze on the corpse of the withered tree spirit.
She tapped her fingertips lightly.
A soft, emerald-green glow emanated from her fingertips.
Like life-giving rain, it slowly seeped into the body of the fallen, withered tree spirit.
Visibly, the grotesque wound on the tree spirit's chest was healing rapidly.
The withered branches regained their glossy sheen.
A moment later, the tree spirit, which had been lifeless, twitched its eyelids slightly and slowly opened its eyes.
Looking around blankly, he seemed not to understand what was happening.
Immediately afterwards, Yu Luo raised her hand again.
This time, an even more condensed golden divine light shot out from her fingertips, heading straight for the little tree spirit's brow.
Within that golden light, a miniature Yu Luo, shrunk countless times, could be vaguely seen.
She sat cross-legged atop an illusory, pure white camellia, her expression solemn and dignified.
As the golden light poured in, Mini Yu Luo, along with the camellia flower, slowly floated into the tree demon's brow and disappeared.
The little tree spirit's body trembled slightly, and its eyes became somewhat dull for a moment, but it quickly regained some of its liveliness.
She stood up again, stretched her arms and legs, as if getting used to it.
Yu Luo, who was using the tree demon's body, examined the demon's form.
"It's alright," she thought to herself.
Immediately, she used her divine sense to issue a clear command deep within the tree demon's subconscious.
"Return to your divine kingdom and wait quietly."
After doing all this, Yu Luo slowly withdrew a wisp of her consciousness from the tree demon's body.
Inside the alley, the illusory image of the silver dress gradually faded, transforming back into a wisp of cool moonlight that dissipated into the night sky.
The little tree spirit stood there stunned for a moment, a look of confusion flashing in its eyes.
Finally, he took a step and walked out of the alley, heading towards the Western Regions Divine Kingdom.
…
At the summit of a barren mountain.
Yu Luo's true form slowly opened her eyes, her cool gaze sweeping down the mountain.
Even the darkness of night could not completely conceal the dense mass of people kneeling at the foot of the mountain.
These people gathered the purest power of faith and poured continuously toward the mountaintop temple.
With a thought, Yu Luo's clear, cold voice rang out in Lin Anniang's mind.
“Anniang.”
Lin Anniang, who was maintaining order and calming the people at the foot of the mountain, trembled and quickly replied respectfully in her heart: "Mountain Goddess!"
“Lead the believers to settle the people at the foot of the mountain and restore order.”
"Yes! I will obey your orders!" Lin Anniang immediately responded loudly, her voice full of enthusiasm.
She turned around and waved to the equally devout believers behind her.
"Fellow villagers, a miracle has occurred, and the evil spirits have been vanquished! The Mountain Goddess has decreed that we must restore order as soon as possible and lead the people back to normalcy!"
"Yes!" the believers responded in unison, and began to guide the people away in an orderly manner.
The people still looked longingly at the barren mountain.
“Fellow villagers, I know you deeply admire the Mountain Goddess and want to see her a little longer.”
"But it's already late at night, and everyone is exhausted. It's time to go back and rest! Your well-being is the wish of the Mountain Goddess!"
"If you really want to kneel and worship sincerely, come back tomorrow!"
With the assurances of these believers, the people then helped each other leave.
…
After dealing with the matters at the foot of the mountain, Yu Luo had another thought.
Her gaze transcended the barriers of space and instantly shifted to the little tree spirit that had just left the remote county town.
At this moment, the little tree spirit was mixed in with a small group of demons and monsters, fleeing in panic toward the west.
Besides it, there were several bat-winged demons and wolf demons in the group that had previously escaped from the battlefield.
They were all wounded, their demonic aura weakened, and their faces showed the same terror.
Clearly, Yu Luo's previous method of killing them with a flick of his finger had completely shattered their courage.
The little tree spirit was mixed in with them and seemed inconspicuous.
Yu Luo nodded in satisfaction.
"Very good, the number is just right, not too many or too few, so that it won't be too conspicuous to only have one going back."
She doesn't intend to eliminate all the remaining criminals right now.
After all, to successfully infiltrate those so-called divine kingdoms to gather intelligence, one always needs some guides and companions as cover.
If the tree spirit were to return alone, it would be more likely to arouse suspicion.
Then, Yu Luo's consciousness sank into his sea of consciousness, and the huge panoramic sand table map slowly unfolded once again.
The mountains, rivers, cities, and passes of Qingzhou and even the surrounding states were all clearly presented before her eyes.
Countless points of light, some bright and some dim, flicker on the map, representing the presence of different creatures.
Her gaze swept quickly across the map, soon locking onto a dark green dot that was moving rapidly.
The aura represented by those points of light was cold and cunning.
It was the giant snake clone of the Yan State's Grand Tutor that had previously escaped.
"Since you're here, you think you can just leave without leaving a gift?" Yu Luo's lips curled into a cold smile.
She lightly raised her jade-like finger and casually made a sweeping motion in the air towards the direction in which the dark green light spot was fleeing.
The movements were light and casual, as if he were merely brushing away a speck of dust from a painting.
The border of Liang Kingdom.
A giant, dark green snake was moving through the dense forest at an astonishing speed.
Its massive body rolled over the grass and trees, leaving a clear trail.
Deep fear still lingered in the snake's eyes.
The figure of the mountain god of the desolate mountain, and the scene of easily crushing the blood moon and extinguishing the wolf's eye.
It haunted its mind like a nightmare.
