Reborn as a tree, the peerless god is obsessed

When Xue Yao saw the prisoners, Qing Yi and Bao Ling were treating their injuries.

In the darkness of the night, the moonlight shines through the cracks and falls on the imprisoned people, illuminating their pale and tired faces.

Xueyao walked into the crowd, her eyes sweeping over the suffering people one by one. Some were in tattered clothes, some were covered in scars, and some had empty eyes, as if they had lost hope in life.

Among these people, some are innocent civilians, and some are officials who speak out for justice. They should have lived a peaceful life, but they were imprisoned here by these cruel bandits and suffered endless torture.

"Don't worry, I will take you out." Xue Yao whispered, her voice full of firmness and determination.

She raised her hand, and an icy blue mist emerged, seemingly alleviating everyone's injuries. Then, she raised her hand and took these people into the secret garden.

In order to prevent them from knowing about the secret garden and thus causing unnecessary panic, she specially planned a piece of land that looked almost the same as the outside world and temporarily settled these people there to allow them to recuperate.

It’s a long story, but for her, doing all this is just a matter of raising her hand.

After doing this, Xueyao turned to Qingyi and Baoling and ordered, "Search other places as soon as possible. Don't miss any clues. We must leave here before dawn."

Before entering this place, she had set up a barrier. No one outside could hear what happened tonight, and no one could run out to report it.

However, the implications of this matter cannot be underestimated and must be resolved quickly.

Qingyi and Baoling nodded in agreement and immediately flew away.

Xue Yao entered the secret courtyard and approached the officials. While treating them, she gently inquired about their identities and experiences. Although these officials were frail, their eyes gleamed with determination.

They told Xueyao that they were captured by bandits in order to threaten their families and make them work for them.

"Have your family members been arrested as well?" Xue Yao asked an official.

"No, they said that as long as we behaved ourselves, they would not touch our family members. Otherwise, they could send our family members to death at any time." The official was skinny, with sunken eye sockets and tears in his eyes.

Xueyao nodded. By this time, their injuries had been treated. They gradually regained their spirits and looked at Xueyao with eyes full of hope and gratitude.

Xueyao smiled and comforted them, telling them not to worry, that she would take them away safely. At the same time, she also encouraged them to be strong and to believe that justice will eventually triumph over evil.

At this time, she received another message from Su Xin.

Su Xin and Yun Duo Duo found hundreds of imprisoned women. They had already treated their injuries and asked Xue Yao what to do next.

Xue Yao turned around and was about to leave the crowd to go out of the secret garden to take a look when she suddenly heard someone shout, "Miss, please..."

Xueyao turned around and found the owner of the voice. He was a handsome young man of sixteen or seventeen, with a cold and stern temperament, and his body was covered in wounds that were unsightly.

It seemed that he had just regained consciousness after being treated by Xueyao. He still looked very ferocious, and his words were weak.

"What's the matter? Tell me." Xue Yao said in a gentle voice with a smile.

"Please save my master!" The young man bowed with difficulty, his eyes full of pleading.

"Your master is not among these people?" Xue Yao asked doubtfully.

The boy shook his head. "No, they've locked him up somewhere by himself, probably in the basement." The boy and his master were captured together in the thieves' den. Also captured was a brother who served his master.

The brother was among these people, and they had already made contact. However, the two of them tried their best and searched the thieves' den many times, but they couldn't find their master.

Therefore, he speculated that his master was most likely imprisoned in a very secret place, which could only be a basement.

"Okay, just focus on recovering from your injuries. Don't worry, I will save you." After Xue Yao agreed, she left the crowd and walked out of the secret garden.

"How is it? Have these people's injuries been treated?" Xue Yao asked hurriedly when she saw Su Xin.

The hundreds of women in front of her, although tortured beyond recognition, some in tattered clothes, some with tear marks on their faces, had a glimmer of desire to survive in their eyes, as if telling Xueyao that they were not defeated by these hardships.

They were all innocent victims, but they suffered endless torture and pain because of the cruel acts of these bandits.

Su Xin nodded and said softly, "They have all been treated. They need rest and recuperation."

Yun Duoduo, who was standing beside her, also nodded.

Xue Yao raised her hand and released an icy blue mist. After everyone absorbed it, she said to Su Xin and Yun Duoduo, "Let them enter the secret garden first. Once all dangers are eliminated, let them out."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and hundreds of women disappeared from the spot.

Xue Yao took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and said to Su Xin, "There is another person being held in solitary confinement here, possibly in a basement. Let's go and continue the search."

Su Xin and Yun Duoduo nodded in agreement, then turned and left. Xue Yao headed in another direction to look for the basement.

As the night deepened, the moonlight streamed down like water, casting a shadow over the silent forest. Xue Yao weaved through the dense woods, her steps light yet firm, as if she could sense every subtle movement.

She followed the trail left by the bandits, descending all the way, and finally came to a hidden cave. The entrance to the cave was covered by a heavy stone door, seemingly indestructible.

Xue Yao frowned slightly. She could sense a faint presence coming from behind the stone door. That was the person she was looking for. However, the stone door could not be opened easily.

She reached out and slapped the stone door, but it didn't budge. She calmed down, observing carefully, then gently stroked the lines on the stone door, tapping into the power of wood to sense them. Gradually, the lines on the stone door began to glow, as if infused with new vitality.

Suddenly, a roar sounded, and the stone door slowly opened, revealing a passage leading underground. Xue Yao took a deep breath and stepped into the passage without hesitation.

The basement was dark and damp, and the air was filled with an indescribable stench. Xue Yao summoned a ball of golden light and moved forward cautiously, fearing to alert the bandits.

Finally, she arrived at a cell. Inside, a figure huddled in a corner, his clothes tattered and covered in wounds, looked utterly miserable. The wounds, visible from behind, were truly shocking.

Xue Yao felt a pang of pain in her heart. She quickly walked forward and called softly, "Sir, how are you?" The man did not respond and remained motionless.

Xueyao's heart skipped a beat. Could it be...?

She walked over to the man, raised her hand, and released an icy blue mist. The icy blue mist ran over the man from head to toe before she squatted down. Her finger rested on the man's pulse. Fortunately, the internal damage was not serious.

He raised his hand, ready to take the man into the secret garden, but at this moment, a rustling sound was heard behind him. At the same time, a flying hook attacked the young man.
