She became a god

Ye Qingzhou gave each of the Dragon Clan fellow cultivators a string of bells, each string of bells being made of three hollow small bells.

These bells are made of ordinary materials, but what truly brings peace of mind and detachment is the periwinkle leaf placed inside them.

The evergreen tree in the spiritual sea was originally lush and verdant, providing ample shade.

But after this ordeal, one of the branches was left completely bare.

Oh dear! If it doesn't grow back, I'll make it into a walking stick for Great-Grandma!

While feeling sorry for them, Ye Qingzhou didn't forget to give out bells to his family members.

"You all need to be quick-witted. If things look bad, crush the jade tokens and put them into my Qiankun bag. Don't rush in recklessly. Our clan hasn't fallen to the point where ordinary clansmen can only survive by fighting to the death."

Ye Zhi and the other demons were moved and said, "Young Master, rest assured, we will never go to our deaths."

Ye Qingzhou praised, "With great power comes great responsibility. We are not the overlords of any major clan, so we don't need to die for other clans. It's enough that we can get the message out alive; the tall guy will take care of the rest."

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Meanwhile, on Long Yi's side, her personal guard Long Su advised, "Your Highness, why do you still look so worried?"

"Because I found that the bell contained periwinkle leaves."

Long Su was puzzled. "There are evergreen trees in the underworld. As the disciple of the Lord of the Underworld, it is not surprising that Young Master Ye would have leaves."

Long Yi shook his head. "My concern isn't about that, but about Hu Ling."

"Wasn't Hu Ling dead?"

"If Hu Ling is dead, why didn't Ye Qingzhou say that she had seen Hu Ling's body? Also, there should have been periwinkle leaves on Hu Ling's body."

Long Yi frowned and said, "The Tiger Clan has an Evergreen Tree. Logically speaking, Hu Ling, as the first among us to discover the clues, chose to cooperate with the ghosts. She couldn't possibly not have prepared a backup plan for herself. I have a feeling that Hu Ling is not dead, or at least she shouldn't have died last night."

"Then should Your Highness inform Young Master Ye? We are now allies, serving as each other's cushions."

Long Yi laughed, "If I can think of something, surely Ye Qingzhou could too?"

"Then why didn't she tell us in person today?"

"This is a test, a test for me. If I can't even guess this, then I'm of no value to her. It's too dangerous here. Putting myself in her shoes, if my companion could overlook such an obvious flaw, I wouldn't continue to cooperate with her."

Long Su couldn't help but sigh inwardly, realizing that His Highness the Crown Prince wasn't as stupid as he seemed.

"Your Highness, if Fellow Daoist Hu Ling is still alive, what should we do?"

"Wait."

"wait?"

"Ye Qingzhou sent me a message half an hour ago: If she doesn't come looking for me, she'll come looking for you."

Long Su was puzzled. "We didn't kill the Tiger Clan cultivators, so why is Hu Ling looking for us instead of ghosts and monsters? Or is she looking for us to cooperate in revenge?"

Long Yi sneered, "She was unwilling to cooperate in the first place, but now she's willing to cooperate? If she really wanted to cooperate, she would have shown up during the day."

"Is she coming to kill us? We're all demons. Besides, what good would it do her to kill us?"

Long Yi's eyes flashed with sarcasm. "Have you ever heard of a water ghost?"

"When a water ghost dies, it must take someone else to become a water ghost in order to be freed from the cycle of reincarnation."

"If you ask me, this isn't a water ghost, it's a 'changu' ghost!"

"Perhaps she was a victim herself, but the moment she dragged innocent people down with her, she became a perpetrator as well. Am I right?"
