The Returnee

The final moments at Blood Pool Middle School hinted that the mastermind was Wizard Cult, and that the family trapped in the villa in the small town of Angel was also a wizard.

Yu Xing had initially suspected that Dead Silent Island was related to Wizard Cult, but upon entering the island, he discovered that its rules were different from what he had imagined.

Exploring building by building, finding the Wizard Cult was incredibly difficult. Little did they know that once they entered the underground, Yu Xing would catch the Wizard Cult red-handed.

The people in the Underground City are wearing the clothes of the Wizard Cult!

They call themselves followers of the Wood God.

In other words, the Wizard Cult that has been traversing many different dungeon worlds from beginning to end is essentially a follower of this Ghost Tree!

So, all their efforts, and their reasons for wanting to welcome the god's return, were actually for the sake of the Ghost Tree.

Unexpectedly, after all the twists and turns, what I thought was just an extra main storyline ended up pointing back to myself.

The truth Yu Xing wanted to know was also related to Ghost Tree, the relationship between the Lingren and Ghost Tree, the relationship between the Witch and Ghost Tree... The Witch?

The Witch's stunningly beautiful face, her unique aura honed by time, and her mysterious behavior flashed through his mind.

That woman was called Witch, Wizard Cult... wasn't that obvious?

The fog in Yu Xing's mind suddenly cleared up.

That's right, the Witch's position must be equivalent to that of Ghost Tree, and she even holds a high position within the Wizard Cult. In this way, the answer becomes clear: by using the foreshadowing [Time Imprint] planted early on to Yu Fengchen and the others, she lured him to Dead Silent Island.

The Witch was already working for this Ghost Tree, so she went to great lengths to lure him here beforehand, hoping that the Ghost Tree would devour him and gain even greater power and nourishment.

Now, regardless of the circumstances, Yu Xing has followed the Witch's plan and arrived here. Whether he succeeds or fails is up to him.

"Mr. Roy!"

Amber Bradley's voice rang out from outside the cabin. The girl seemed to have just heard some good news; her face flushed slightly, and she was overjoyed, almost more so than when she was talking about doing "that kind of thing" with Yu Xing.

Yu Xing's expression shifted slightly, and he smiled gently, "Has something good happened?"

"Yes! One of our companions who went to the surface just returned safely, bringing with him the Yindu Heart that Great God Tree needs. Great God Tree will surely reward him, and we will all receive even better food!"

Seeing Yu Xing's slightly confused expression, Amber belatedly realized, "Oh, Mr. Roy, you don't know yet, but every now and then our companions in the Underground City follow the divine decree of the Great God Tree and go to the surface to carry out missions. Once they return successfully, the entire city will enjoy a 30-day carnival month!"

"This time I'm sure I'll get to eat the tenderest meat, my skin..."

As he spoke, a dirty and filthy expression suddenly appeared on Amber's holy face, as if he were already imagining some terrible things, which made people's hearts tremble.

Yu Xing seemed to be deep in thought.

Presumably, what they would do on Earth is to disrupt a world and allow evil to flourish.

The wizard we had encountered before, after leaving Angel's brother's physical form, was completely a spirit, which matched the special state of the souls in the Underground City.

"Come on, Roy, I need a pleasant conversation to calm my excited heart." Amber suddenly leaned in and embraced Yu Xing. "Do you crave the water, or the land?"

Yu Xing's eyes flashed, and she instinctively grabbed Amber's waist through the black robe.

His deep voice whispered in Amber's ear, "Go into the water, it will feel very comfortable."

Amber naturally had no objections. Yu Xing picked her up and carried her to another wooden house, where she was placed in the steaming hot water.

The black robe, heavy with moisture, drooped and outlined Amber's curves. Amber stretched out his hands, a smile playing on his lips, in an inviting gesture.

"Where will we go after we've done it?" Yu Xing pinched Amber's small chin with her fingers, leaned closer, and gazed at Amber with her playful yet "affectionate" eyes, asking with a smile.

"Phew... Let's go back to the residential area first. You need to choose a house that's not occupied. Mr. Klaus will arrange it for you there... Hurry up and come down." Amber was clearly very satisfied with Yu Xing's appearance, and a longing finally appeared in his eyes as he urged her with disordered breathing.

"What's the rush? I know a lot of tricks..." Yu Xing rubbed Amber's lower lip with her thumb, and with a little pressure, Amber opened his mouth knowingly.

The power of the curse flowed silently into Amber's limbs and bones as his fingers probed deeper.

After the aura of the curse entered, Yu Xing realized Amber's true condition. She was like a rotten tree, full of insects inside, which had almost gnawed out her kidneys, and even her heart was only half left.

But she was completely unaware and moved with ease.

Tsk, as expected, the people of the Wizard Cult are neither human nor entirely ghostly, but rather an incomprehensible species somewhere in between.

Amber's tongue curled up, his eyes sparkling. Yu Xing's gaze turned slightly cold, and with a thought, the curse power he was controlling suddenly surged, engulfing Amber's internal organs and flesh, which were as withered as tree bark.

She immediately fell into a coma.

Yu Xing expressionlessly took her fingers out, washed them in the water, and then dried them with a towel.

Mobilizing the power of curses and leaving them within others is something Yu Xing has been able to do for a long time, though it's generally used for tracking and attacking.

While Amber and the other believers' bodies had been transformed into this form by the Ghost Tree, which might be a huge problem for other outsiders, it was a very convenient thing for him.

Isn't it simple to control the puppets of the Ghost Tree using the same source power as the Ghost Tree?

When Amber woke up, she felt sore and comfortable all over, but her memory was hazy. In this state, she could only assume that she had done it and then fainted from excitement.

Then, with a subtle hint from Yu Xing, the memory will be frozen in time.

Straightening up, Yu Xing's face showed a hint of disgust.

That deformed Underground City really should be destroyed as soon as possible.

I really don't understand why someone like the Witch, who could use her abilities to do something more meaningful, would choose to be loyal to a brainless tree.

He made the cabin look a bit messy and spilled a lot of water from the bucket to create a false impression, then headed towards the residential area without looking back.

First, choose a place to stay, then go and find out about the person who returned from the surface. Also, Yu Xing is a little curious about what the Heart of Yindu is.

Something that the Wizard Cult covets must be very useful to Ghost Tree. If we have the chance to steal it, Ghost Tree will be furious, right?

Oh...

Yu Xing's eyes crinkled into a smile.

(Hello, reviewers! I didn't write anything suggestive, it's completely innocent, and it was a serious task. Please don't ban me!!)
