It's Qi Qingmo!

Qi Qingmo, who should have been in the Origin Land, somehow appeared inside the Tree Cage unexpectedly.

The Taoist Robe she wore was drenched in fresh blood, the blood of the beasts from the Origin Land, which emanated a strong murderous aura from her, oppressing every living being there to the point of breathing difficulties and palpable fear.

Out of a biological instinct, Lin Zichen also felt his gall tremble with fear.

But more than that, he was relieved.

The Pavilion Master had arrived.

Everyone could be saved.

He and Han Han wouldn't have to be taken away by the Great Elder of the Divine Plant Cult.

All was moving in a stable and favorable direction.

Conversely, the Divine Plant Cult's Great Elder, showing a face full of fear, said,

"How did you get here?!"

He had communicated with the Sect Hierarch of the Divine Plant Cult in the Origin Land and knew that there was a mysterious Taoist Robe Woman in the Origin Land committing a massacre and ceaselessly transmuting the attacking beast herds on human strongholds.

She killed gods if they obstructed her, and Buddhas likewise.

Anyone who dared block her path was basically transmuted by her into pills.

Upon learning of this, the Great Elder of the Divine Plant Cult wondered who this Taoist Robe Woman was, why she suddenly started a massacre in the Origin Land, and whether she could be some newly-awakened ancient being from the Origin Land.

Now, this murderous demoness had appeared out of the blue on Earth.

And she appeared right inside the Tree Cage.

This made the Great Elder of the Divine Plant Cult incredulous and overwhelmed with fear.

After all, since the Taoist Robe Woman had been transmuting the beast herds in the Origin Land, her sudden appearance in a Tree Cage full of beasts made it clear what she would likely do next.

"Why are beings from the Origin Land appearing in great numbers on Earth?"

Qi Qingmo, with her emotionless beautiful eyes, looked coldly at the Great Elder of the Divine Plant Cult and asked.

As she spoke, with a mere thought she shattered the scarlet vines on Shen Qinghan's body into nothingness, freeing her from her constraints.

Once freed, Shen Qinghan fell straight down in free fall towards the ground.

Seeing this, Lin Zichen promptly pushed Qi-Blood out to eject himself and reached out to catch Shen Qinghan, gently descending to the ground with her.

Seeing Qi Qingmo intervene to save Shen Qinghan, the Great Elder of the Divine Plant Cult was momentarily dumbfounded.

What was going on?

Why did the mysterious Taoist Robe Woman want to save Shen Qinghan?

What exactly was their relationship?

"Are you deaf?"

Qi Qingmo said expressionlessly, "I'll ask again, why are beings from the Origin Land appearing in such large numbers on Earth?"

The Great Elder of the Divine Plant Cult promptly regained his senses and replied with awe, "An organization I belong to called the Divine Plant Cult has opened up a new Biological Passage between the Origin Land and Earth."

"Using this passage, we spent a lot of time transferring a vast number of beings from the Origin Land into tunnels we dug in advance. When the time was ripe, we unleashed these beings from the Origin Land to take over Shanhai City."

"The Biological Passage I mentioned, as well as the well-prepared tunnel, are all located underneath that Scarlet Giant Tree over there."

The Great Elder of the Divine Plant Cult did not want to die and to curry favor with the unfathomably powerful Qi Qingmo, he spilled everything he knew.

Life was far more important than loyalty.

His own life was far more important than that of his family being held hostage at the Divine Plant Cult's lair.

"Li Xuehua, you have betrayed the Holy Land, and the Holy Land will not let you off!"

The huge face that emerged on the distant Scarlet Giant Tree yelled angrily at the Great Elder of the Divine Plant Cult.

Qi Qingmo looked toward the Scarlet Giant Tree, which, upon being gazed upon by her, was engulfed in fear, didn't hesitate a second more, and quickly hid its face and pretended to be dead.

The Scarlet Giant Tree could sense Qi Qingmo's strength.

The moment Qi Qingmo looked at it, it felt as though it had already seen death, and it was so frightened that it dared not make another move.

"What place is the Holy Land?"

Qi Qingmo turned her gaze back to the Great Elder of the Divine Plant Cult and asked in an unhurried voice.

Without waiting for the Great Elder of the Divine Plant Cult to answer, the faraway Scarlet Giant Tree once more showed its face, this time angrily threatening, "Li Xuehua, if you dare to talk nonsense again, be careful about those living in the Holy Land...boom!"

Before the Scarlet Giant Tree could finish speaking, its grand stature, towering over a kilometer high, suddenly exploded.

Like an overripe, juicy watermelon, it burst, spewing a sky full of bright red liquid that fell like large raindrops with a "pitter-patter" sound.

Also bursting were the vine networks enclosing the city center, which detonated along with the Scarlet Giant Tree, turning into a sky full of scarlet droplets raining down.

For a moment, the entire city center was enveloped in a thick scent of blood.

Being in the midst of it felt like standing in a hellish domain, with everything appearing blood-red before one's eyes.

It sent chills down one's spine, causing a cold feeling in the heart.

Soon, those red droplets suddenly changed direction and flew above Qi Qingmo's head, swirling.

They congealed at a visible speed into a mass.

Transforming into a red pill surrounded by wisps of blood energy.

It landed precisely in Qi Qingmo's raised Jade Hand.

She then tucked it into her sleeve.

At that moment, everyone at the scene was stunned.

Shocked by what had just happened, they were frozen in place, slack-jawed.

In particular, the Great Elder of the Divine Plant Cult was so terrified that his legs went weak, breaking out in a cold sweat, unbelieving that the Scarlet Giant Tree, with a Biological Level as high as Epic, had been killed in the blink of an eye.

After a moment of regaining his composure, he hurriedly organized his words and answered, "Responding to the Celestial, the Holy Land refers to the Sun-Moon Sacred Land, a major power in the Origin Land mainly comprising of Exotic Plants as its members."

"And the Divine Plant Cult is an organization under the Sun-Moon Sacred Land, specifically responsible for connecting Earth and the Origin Land."
