Hell, run away, the little milk baby is coming to the underworld again.

Even if Xiao Yanbao hadn't said anything, Huo Lichuan would have tried it with his own blood anyway.

Anyway, anything that can be done with his blood is no problem.

Huo Lichuan took a drop of blood and dripped it into the ring.

Nothing changed inside the ring, but the tree in front of them suddenly started moving again.

This time, it wasn't just the leaves rustling; the entire tree shook, and demonic energy surged forth.

As the demonic energy increased, the sky darkened.

One after another, demonic phantoms began to fly around Xiao Yanbao and the others.

The sound it made was chilling.

Huo Lichuan looked at Mo Yi, "What's going on?"

Mo Yi shook his head. "I don't know either. Last time, I only followed the Great Protector here before rushing back, afraid of being discovered by him. I didn't see any changes in this tree."

As for how the Great Protector got inside, he had no idea.

He's already done his best to bring people here.

Luckily, he has a good memory, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to remember the way.

Perhaps this is something that is preordained.

Xiao Yanbao kicked the tree again, saying, "You really want to be pulled up, don't you?"

This time, Xiao Yanbao's behavior did not frighten the Illusion Tree.

Instead of being frightened, the demonic phantoms actually multiplied.

They all rushed to attack Xiao Yanbao.

Xiao Yanbao: You guys are biased towards people, aren't you? She's the youngest here, so you bully her.

She is the youngest, but that doesn't mean she's the most useless.

They really think I'm a pushover just because I haven't shown my teeth.

Xiao Yanbao put her hands on her hips, ready to start a fight, but was stopped by Mo Yi.

"Yanbao, we're not here to fight. If we start fighting and the Great Protector finds out, we won't be able to get in."

Mo Yi didn't know why Xiao Yanbao and the others insisted on coming to the Demon Tomb, but there must be something they were looking for there.

Little Yanbao withdrew her little hand.

“What can we do if we don’t fight it? This tree is clearly an obstacle. We can’t get in without taking it down.”

"Yanbao, why don't you just pull it out?"

Xiao Yanbao: She was just saying that casually.

They really pulled it out.

This isn't an ordinary tree; you can't just uproot it like that.

But since I've already said what I wanted to say, I can only try pulling it out and see.

Xiao Yanbao planned to put the Illusion Tree into her Ruyi Bag.

With the Phantom Tree gone, these demonic phantoms should also disappear.

However, Xiao Yanbao tried several times but failed to put the Illusion Tree into her Ruyi Bag.

If you can't even put the lucky bag inside, then you definitely can't pull it out either.

Xiao Yanbao's actions clearly further enraged the Illusion Tree.

The trunk of the Phantom Tree was twisted into a pretzel.

The sky above grew darker and darker, and the darkness continued to spread.

The demon looked at the spreading darkness and felt somewhat worried.

"Although this place is far from the Demon Cloud Palace, if this darkness continues to spread, it's hard to guarantee that the Grand Protector won't discover the anomaly here."

There were also many demon soldiers guarding their way.

Those demon soldiers will surely report this to the Great Protector.

"We must act quickly, or we'll figure out a way to deal with it later."

Huo Lichuan also agreed with Mo Yi's statement.

Xiao Yanbao doesn't think so.

They've found the place, but they can't get in.

Then let's lure the Great Protector over and see how she gets in.

"Can't the three of us handle a tree? Let's just fight it out."

If we really can't deal with this tree, then we can forget about entering this Demon Tomb.

Huo Lichuan was worried that if his mother was really imprisoned in this demonic tomb, the Great Protector would harm her.

Since all the demon prisoners in the Nine Locks Palace escaped, the Great Protector and his men searched almost every part of the Demon Cloud Palace, but they couldn't find any clues.

The Great Protector also suspected that the demon criminals might have already escaped from the Demon Cloud Palace.

But she refused to believe that outcome.

So for the past two days, she's been as restless as an ant on a hot plate.

He dispatched all his subordinates from Shanghai.

Just as he was wondering if he had overlooked something, his subordinate rushed in to report, "Great Protector, you must go out and take a look, the demonic energy has surged."

The Great Protector suddenly stood up from his seat. "Where is the demonic energy surging?"

"I can't explain it clearly right now, so the Great Protector should go and see for himself."

The Great Protector had a bad feeling.

Could the demonic energy surge be related to those few demons who escaped?

It's best if it's not a demonic energy surge in that area.

But what you fear most often comes to pass.

When the Great Protector went outside and saw the darkness spreading across the sky, his heart clenched painfully.

Without saying a word, the Great Protector headed straight for the place where the darkness was spreading.

He set up three lines of defense on the way to the Demon Tomb.

Fearing that one place might not work, they set up three, but problems still occurred there.

Because of the urgency, the Great Protector used the fastest speed possible.

When she arrived, she saw the Phantom Tree standing there, its trunk bare and lifeless, having been completely torn down.

But he still seemed very stubborn.

This is the Phantom Tree; it must have suffered immense damage to become like this.

Luckily she arrived quickly; if she had been any slower, the tree trunk probably wouldn't have survived.

"Who is it? Who did this? Come out here!" the Great Protector shouted hysterically.

At this moment, Xiao Yanbao and the others had all hidden inside the Ruyi Bag.

Huo Lichuan hid the Ruyi Bag inside the Illusion Tree.

Little Yanbao was overjoyed to see the Great Protector so angry inside the Ruyi Bag. She was happy as long as she could make the enemy suffer.

"Yanbao, what did you see that made you smile so happily?"

"The Grand Protector was furious."

"How could we not go crazy? Do you know how many demon chieftains' souls it took to feed the Illusionary Spirit Tree to grow to this size? Every branch we just broke was the soul of a demon chieftain. These demon chieftains' souls cannot regenerate. Once they're gone, we've lost one. This Illusionary Spirit Tree is the last guardian of this place."

Xiao Yanbao: No wonder I can't get the lucky bag no matter what I do.

Xiao Yanbao felt it was a bit of a pity.

I wish I could use such a powerful tree for my own purposes.

"How many years does it take for one of your demon clan chiefs to die?"

Mo Yi grinned, "Five hundred years."

Xiao Yanbao wanted to count on her fingers how many years this Illusion Tree had grown to be so lush and verdant.

However, Xiao Yanbao's knowledge was limited, and she didn't understand it.

"This Illusion Tree has existed since the time of the demon race, so..."

Mo Yi didn't continue, saying, "Can you count them all on your ten fingers?"

Huo Lichuan also felt that the Illusion Tree was a bit of a pity.

But there's no other way but to break the tree.

Even with the combined efforts of the three of them, they couldn't break the trunk of the Phantom Tree.
