The imperial concubine is charming and coquettish, she crazily criticizes the tyrant for spoiling he

Before them lay a scorched wasteland, the entire space shrouded in a gray haze, with only a few bare trees dotting the vast expanse. Several carrion vultures, emitting harsh cries, swooped overhead, and an aura of death permeated the air.

Just being here for a short while made me feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

"Chirp chirp!" The Moonshadow Rabbit suddenly popped out, sniffing around, its eyes brightening. It hopped onto the open ground nearby, its body growing larger, and one by one, its little brothers, who had hidden themselves since leaving the Flower Goddess's Tomb, jumped out of its mouth. As soon as the giant rabbits emerged, they scattered and hopped away.

Judging from their carefree appearance, this place must be filled with demonic energy, the territory of the Demon Realm. Considering Chang Li's bewitching eyes, it's understandable that such an illusion as the Demon Realm would appear in his territory.

Five giant rabbits remained, then turned around in front of Qing Sang and the others, clearly intending to become their mounts. Qing Sang didn't stand on ceremony, jumping directly onto the back of a giant rabbit and hugging its neck. The Shadow Rabbit also jumped onto the head of the giant rabbit Qing Sang was riding, pointing proudly ahead with its little paw. The giant rabbit then hopped forward, giving Qing Sang a taste of the fun of riding a rocking horse. Except for Liu Shuangyue, the others were seeing giant rabbits for the first time, and seeing Qing Sang do this, they curiously jumped onto the giant rabbit's back as well.

Despite its enormous size, the troll rabbit was incredibly agile and fast. It quickly led them to their destination, where another troll rabbit was already waiting; it was likely this rabbit that delivered the message to the shadow rabbit.

There was a black tree there, not very tall, and unlike the trees before it, it was not bare. Instead, it was lush and leafy, with black leaves that did not move. It looked like a fake tree, but Qing Sang knew it was real. When the tree came into view, Qing Sang had already sensed it and felt its struggling, painful soul.

As she got closer, the tearing sensation became more pronounced, and Qing Sang couldn't help but stop and frown.

"What's wrong? Is there something strange about this tree?" Seeing Qing Sang's furrowed brows, Qing Luo stopped and asked. Then he noticed the tree's unusual branches and leaves: "Has it become a spirit?"

"A tormented soul is imprisoned within this tree!" Qing stated calmly. This tree wasn't sentient; it simply had more opportunities than the other trees in this illusion. Perhaps if this weren't an illusion, this tree, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, might have truly awakened its will and cultivated into a spirit. Perhaps that's why this tree was used as a vessel to imprison a person's soul.

Qing Sang used her power to wrap her hand around the tree trunk, then placed it there, trying to sense the soul within. Unexpectedly, the moment she touched it, the tree suddenly began absorbing the power she was attached to. Qing Sang immediately cut off her spiritual energy support, but the thing wouldn't give up. The previously still tree began rapidly sending out long branches that coiled towards Qing Sang.

Before it could even touch Qing Sang's wrist, a sharp sword swiftly severed the branches. The branches, separated from their original form, withered rapidly and, upon hitting the ground, slowly dissipated into the air without leaving a trace. (End of Chapter)
