Miss Witch is broke again.

Su Li quickly followed Wei Jia's footsteps and left the desolate long staircase, where the real Tree of Life was right in front of her.

They stepped out onto a long staircase leading to an exquisite and luxurious royal palace complex. Perhaps due to the long period of peace in the Tree Realm, this place had never encountered any external enemies. Most of these royal palace buildings were located on the Tree of Life, almost becoming one with it.

The natural garden beneath the tree, along with part of the royal court, belongs to the elves, while the royal court in the tree is the residence of the demon king and his generals.

Perhaps because this place has long been a forbidden area for elves, the royal palace buildings have not been maintained and have begun to become dilapidated. Some places have been damaged by wildly growing branches, or covered by large vines.

However, the branches and vines that should have been full of life have now turned withered and yellow, as if there is a center that is drawing life force from the surrounding area.

Vega's long, slender spider legs easily passed through the royal court buildings, reaching directly to the elven palace at the very top. The palace was built in the very center of the tree trunk, thus demonstrating the majesty of the royal family.

Further up, there is the majestic canopy of the tree.

However, one branch of the tree canopy broke off, leaving a gap in the dense canopy, and the colorful aurora borealis fell through the gap, as if beams of light from heaven had fallen to earth.

It must be said that the damage caused by Ruijinsi actually brought a unique tranquility to this dilapidated yet once magnificent royal court.

Vega moved through the fantastical, dilapidated palace with her spider legs, but seeing that Su Li seemed to be captivated by the elves' reliefs and architecture, she diligently lifted Su Li high so that she could better view the masterpieces of the Arlai elves.

Elves are a race naturally suited for art!

The Spider Witch made quite a commotion as she walked, and several relaxed and leisurely witches gathered around her, seemingly showing great respect for Vega.

These witches all have typical European looks: blonde hair, blue eyes, mature figures, and stunning appearances. They wear extremely cheerful smiles, or rather, simple foolishness.

"Third Master, you're back! The sisters are starving! What have these elves been eating?!"

This is a gluttonous witch.

"Third Sister, who is this? Could she be the witch that Fourth Master is trying to protect? No wonder Second Master and Fourth Master are fighting; beauty is a curse!"

This is a witch whose soul is burning with gossip.

"Who would have thought that the fourth leader, who looks like a child, would like to drive such a big vehicle? People's hearts have changed! Tsk tsk, how about we all have some fun now?"

This is a lecherous witch who only watched Su Li from beginning to end.

"This witch looks so familiar. She's the stunning beauty that Liz and I encountered. If she were in an ancient Chinese drama, she would definitely die in the arms of a domineering dragon witch."

This is a witch whose mind is clouded by watching romance dramas.

To the spirits of the Tree Realm, these demon kings and demon generals were all ruthless and terrifying beings, but to the witches, they were all their fellow beings who loved to laugh and cause trouble.

A group of blonde, blue-eyed European witches chattered amongst themselves in the dilapidated and tranquil atmosphere of an elven palace in a foreign land, each referring to the other as "the boss."

Su Li had no idea what kind of bizarre development this was. Were these witches really not crazy?

Even the somewhat eccentric Spider Witch was at her wits' end when faced with these oddballs.

Vega couldn't help but interrupt their chatter, saying:

"Miss Su Li is a distinguished guest personally invited by the boss, so you all better be careful. Also, don't tell Ruijinsi about this, lest that little devil cause any more trouble! Do you understand?"

It seems that Wei Jia has a high reputation among them, and when they heard that Su Li was the person the boss specifically wanted, they dared not say anything strange.

However, judging from the way they exchanged glances, especially those two witches who were obsessed with romance dramas, they had already imagined a melodramatic love story in their minds.

The second-in-command tried to steal the fourth-in-command's lover, but was severely injured by the fourth-in-command's explosion. The fourth-in-command was then punished by the first-in-command and put in solitary confinement. Then the first-in-command took a fancy to the witch and wanted to take her for himself, so he ordered the third-in-command to send her over.

Perhaps even the third leader had already taken advantage of this stunning witch along the way, enjoying himself immensely.

However, these witches concealed themselves very well, and even the Spider Witch didn't notice.

After being repeatedly reprimanded by Vega, the witches dispersed and continued patrolling the elven palace.

Although Vega had some ulterior motives within this witch smuggling ring, the way these witches made a scene in front of Su Li made her feel utterly humiliated.

Vega coughed, a rare hint of embarrassment appearing on her beautiful face, and said:

"They've been having nothing to do lately, and with Song Jia having to return to the Sky Island to recuperate due to serious injuries, and me going out to find the last Tree of Life, there's no one to restrain them, so they've become increasingly unruly."

Su Li expressed her understanding, after all, she had a deep experience with the Cat Cake Tavern.

Witches are, by nature, the embodiment of chaos.

However, Su Li didn't pay attention to these things, and only asked Wei Jia:

"Where is Regins? I need to see her. Amber told me to take good care of her. If you dare to bully her, I'll..."

Upon hearing Su Li's threat, Wei Jia's smile grew even more beautiful, and she couldn't help but reply with a smile:

"Don't worry, my witch. Regina is a master in the field of alchemical bombs. Even though she almost destroyed this Tree of Life, the boss didn't have the heart to punish her; he just put her in solitary confinement. Instead of worrying about this little witch Regina, Miss Su Li should worry more about herself."

Su Li didn't quite understand what Wei Jia meant, but she knew that Rui Jinsi was safe, so she was relieved for a moment.

Vega didn't reveal the inside story, but his gaze lingered on Su Li with reluctance, and he would sigh from time to time, which Su Li found very abnormal.

Such an exquisite and beautiful doll, about to be ruined by the boss.

And so, Vega took Su Li deep into the palace, to a tree hollow that had clearly been recently dug out.

Around the tree hollow, undulating veins pulsed, pouring into it with an immense life force—an index that would horrify even a witch.

Su Li thought to herself:

"Fox spirit, fox spirit, please come out and save me!"

However, the fox spirit's will did not appear, which made Su Li even more panicked. Now she could only rely on herself to face the mysterious Heavenly Demon King, the leader of these witches.

To be able to hold the position of the leader of a smuggling witch's organization, with even Vega obeying her, shows just how powerful this witch is.

Finally, they entered the tree hollow. The hollow wasn't big, only big enough for four or five people. Vega had to retract his eight spider legs and gesture for Su Li to go in by herself.

"Good luck, Miss Su Li. I hope you can come out alive. Of course, dying is fine too, but if you become a doll, you can't be frozen in your most beautiful moment. It's a real pity you can't be my top-tier collectible!"

It was only then that Vega reluctantly revealed his preferences, which made Su Li's scalp tingle. This spider witch had no ill intentions towards her; it turned out she had this in mind.

To collect her as a doll would be a horror story for non-witch races.

But Su Li couldn't think that much, because as soon as she entered the tree hole, she was pulled into the deepest part by an invisible suction force.

A haughty witch seized her slender throat, and a pair of crimson eyes emerged from her black armor. She looked at the witch in her hand as if she were examining a tool.

"You're that witch? Not bad, perfect for me to use as a filter to devour the Tree of Life. This position was originally reserved for the Elf Queen, but how can an ordinary mortal compare to a witch with magical powers?"

Su Li was overwhelmed by a suffocating sense of powerlessness and was completely unable to respond.

"Remember my name, Ya Xia Kong. Witch, you are the sacrifice that made me the Great Witch. It's a pity you're not a witch, so you can't go to the underworld to complain to that great witch. How a bit less interesting!"

The witch didn't even bother asking Su Li's name; she simply told Su Li to die knowing why!

Ya Xia Kong, carrying Su Li, placed her at the center of an intricate magic circle composed of five verdant tree hearts, and then initiated the sacrificial ritual. This was her insane idea: since there was no mature Tree of Life to allow her to advance to the Great Witch, she would sacrifice the entire Natural Garden and all the Trees of Life as a substitute.

However, this approach would bring a massive amount of impurities and resentment. If Ya Xia Kong were to rashly absorb this powerful force, it would definitely pollute the magic power, and might even cause him to burst.

But what if there were a filter?

Although this will result in a loss of some magic power, almost all the risks are borne by the filter. As for the filter's fate...

She's just a witch, and she's in another dimension. If she's so capable, let the witches who enforce the law arrest her!
