Chapter 223 The Spirit Clan's Mother Tree is Corrupted

Ling Yi lowered her eyes to look at the person in front of her. The face was unfamiliar, yet it felt strangely familiar...

"Ye Qingshuang," Ling Yi called out.

The person lying on the ground heard the shout, opened their eyes with a whoosh, saw Ling Yi, jumped up, and reached out to hug him: "Ling Yi!"

"Waaaaah, I've finally found you!"

Ling Yi moved his foot and turned his body to the side, and Ye Qingshuang missed her target.

"You value romance over friendship!" Ye Qingshuang steadied herself and turned around to accuse, "You won't even let me hug you when you're carrying Ji Yanzhi."

Ling raised an eyebrow: "You can't move your legs either?"

"If you can't move your legs either, I can carry you on my back."

"Then I'll walk by myself." After Ye Qingshuang finished speaking, she carefully looked at Ling Yi and Ji Yanzhi and found that their hair and clothes were very neat, unlike their disheveled appearance. She immediately felt that something was wrong, but before she could ask, she heard Ling Yi ask, "What happened to your face?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingshuang didn't bother to ask any more questions. She quickly removed the masks from Lin Chengtian, Bai Qingjue, and Bai Jiu's faces, then touched their foreheads, and they were restored to Ye Qingshuang's appearance.

"Don't lie there!" Ye Qingshuang pulled Lin Chengtian up from the ground. "Change your clothes, tidy yourself up, quick, quick!"

After Ye Qingshuang finished speaking, she looked at Ji Yanzhi and said, "Ji Yanzhi, quickly help me hide it."

After saying that, he looked at Bai Jiu and Bai Qingjue and said, "You two get up quickly too."

The explosion had sent Lin Chengtian and Ye Qingshuang flying, while Bai Jiu, protected by Bai Qingjue, was unharmed. After getting up, she reached out to Bai Qingjue and asked, "Changrong, are you alright?"

Ji Changrong grabbed his hand and stood up: "I'm fine, let me tidy up first."

"Hmm." Baijiu responded, took off his clothes, and changed into a new set.

Why is there such a thick fog?

"Is there something else?"

Just as Ye Qingshuang and the other three were quickly packing up, another sound rang out from there.

"Dispel the fog," someone said.

Upon hearing this, the four who had finished tidying up quickly retreated behind Ling Yi.

Ji Yanzhi turned to look at the four people, flicked his finger, and two forces landed on Lin Chengtian and Bai Jiu respectively. Their cultivation levels, which were easily discernible at a glance, were concealed, making them unfathomable.

Upon discovering this, Ye Qingshuang gratefully cupped her hands in a gesture of respect to Ji Yanzhi.

Ji Yanzhi withdrew his gaze, letting the white mist dissipate. Once the mist cleared, the two were extremely close, face to face.

Ling Yi carried Ji Yanzhi on his back, followed by Ye Qingshuang and her three companions. On the other side was a somewhat disheveled group. Apart from the man in the lead and a few elders who were in better shape, the others were even more disheveled than when Ye Qingshuang and her companions appeared.

The man's gaze swept over Ling Yi and Ji Yanzhi, then landed on the people behind him.

The number of people is different, their clothing is different, and their cultivation levels are different...

"The Divine Palace!" Just as the man was sizing up the group, the divine descendants, looking around, spotted the Divine Palace and cheered, "It's the Divine Palace!"

Upon hearing this, the elders immediately looked over, and after confirming that it was indeed the divine palace, they turned to the man and said, "Lord Witch Spirit, we've arrived. Let's go quickly!"

Wu Huiyuan didn't respond to the old man, but instead looked at Ling Yi and the others and asked, "Did you see the four of them come out?"

"Four people?" Ling Yi chuckled. "Besides the six of us, it's just you guys here. I don't see anyone else."

Wu Huiyuan asked, "Which spatial entrance did you come in from?"

Ling Yi glanced at the man indifferently: "Why should I tell you?"

"Lord Wuling, let's hurry to the Divine Palace." Several elders of the divine lineage knew that Wu Huiyuan was searching for his fiancée, but in their view, the Divine Palace was more important. They urged, "Lord Wuling, perhaps they have already gone to the Divine Palace."

Wu Huiyuan frowned, wanting to say it wouldn't be that fast, but he swallowed the words back.

It's good that the descendants of the gods don't care.

"Let's go." Wu Huiyuan glanced at Ling Yi and the others, then quickly led his men away.

Ling Yi and his group followed slowly, and only after they had put some distance between themselves and the other party did they ask, "What's going on?"

Ye Qingshuang told Ling Yi about her identity as a member of the Spirit Clan, her identity as Wu Huiyuan, and the grudge she had against him. She also told him about what had happened in the past three days.

Knowing that the place the divine descendants were going to must be the most important place, they followed them. Unexpectedly, they first encountered a return-attraction formation, and after passing through the formation, they were pulled into the space by touching the barrier.

"Because we were so close, we were pulled into the same space as them." Ye Qingshuang complained, "There were not only Heavenly-level beasts in that space, but also other traps. If Ji Changrong and I hadn't fought so hard, we probably wouldn't have been able to get out at all."

After speaking, Ye Qingshuang looked at Ling Yi and asked, "How did you get in?"

Ling Yi said, "That's how we got in."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingshuang wanted to ask if Xiao Zhou had brought them here, but considering that Ji Changrong was present and he didn't know Xiao Zhou, she gave up the question.

Ye Qingshuang didn't ask, but Ling Yi did: "So, as a member of the Spirit Clan, why did you go to such a far place as Yunzhou?"

Ye Qingshuang knew Ling Yi would ask, and she wanted to tell Ling Yi about her past, but she couldn't bring herself to speak. She could only talk about the present: "The Spirit Clan was in turmoil, and Wu Huiyuan took power. I was chosen by the Spirit Clan to be the next king. After Wu Huiyuan took power, the Spirit Clan behind him didn't want me to live and kept hunting me down. In order to escape them, I left the Spirit Clan. The reason I went to Yunzhou was because I had to go."

Ye Qingshuang couldn't recount her past, but she used another method. She had to go, and after going, she left with Ling Yi. She was telling Ling Yi that she went for her sake.

Ling Yi understood the implication in her words and didn't press the matter further. However, Lin Chengtian spoke up: "You stabbed Wu Huiyuan with a sword, and Wu Huiyuan didn't even flinch. Would he allow other spirit races to hunt you down?"

Ye Qingshuang looked at Lin Chengtian: "You talk too much."

After rebuking Lin Chengtian, Ye Qingshuang, not wanting Ling Yi to overthink, explained, "The main reason for the internal strife within the Spirit Clan is that the Spirit Clan's Mother Tree has been corrupted. All the other Spirit Clan members have been corrupted, but I haven't..."

"So the Mother Tree wants to kill me," Ye Qingshuang said. "Although Wu Huiyuan is now in power in the Spirit Race, the Spirit Race must obey the Mother Tree's orders, and Wu Huiyuan cannot stop them."

"The Spirit Clan's Mother Tree was contaminated?" Bai Qingjue looked at Ye Qingshuang in surprise: "When did this happen?"

Ye Qingshuang said, "It started a long time ago. At first, the Spirit King kept it a secret, but later he couldn't hide it anymore and it broke out."

Bai Qingjue frowned and said, "Why not..." Thinking of the characteristics of the Spirit Race, Bai Qingjue couldn't finish her sentence.

Ye Qingshuang repeated what he was about to say: "You want to ask 'Why didn't you ask for help?' right?"

Ye Qingshuang smiled bitterly: "The greatest characteristic of the Spirit Clan's power is purification, and the Mother Tree itself is a purifier, but the Mother Tree has been polluted. Help? Who can we turn to for help?"
