I conquered the cultivation world with scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Chapter 408 Traitor of Lingyun Sect

"Everyone, be careful. This grove of trees is bare and is obviously food for the Strange Tree. We might become its next source of nourishment."

"Senior Sister Hua, be careful..."

Lingyun Sect's Hua Lanzheng brought her junior brothers and sisters to this place this year; the group included Nascent Soul cultivators and Deity Transformation cultivators.

Just as Hua Lanzheng was about to introduce the characteristics of the demonic tree, she was enveloped by its thorny branches. With a light tap of her staff, the surrounding trees emitted a burst of light and instantly turned into dust.

"Senior sister! So strong."

Quan Ming looked on with envy. As expected of the chief disciple of Lingyun Sect, it seemed that he had made the right choice in joining this sect.

Hua Lanzheng nodded proudly: "Basic skills. When you reach my level, you can do the same. Cultivate well and don't let your master down."

"I will."

Quan Ming and the other cultivators nodded vigorously.

"Let's go. The Ghost Tree is just an A-rank monster, so there's no point in killing it. Let's find our senior brother and go search for the legacy left by Ying Fengyi. If the information is correct, we just need to find the Silver Leaf Tree."

Hua Lanzheng looked around and suddenly activated her omniscient perspective, her gray pupils widening.

In an instant, countless beams of light appeared, and the trees in the forest were cut in half and fell to the ground.

"Senior sister, what's wrong?"

"I was worried there might be cultivators nearby, but it seems I was overthinking it. Let's leave."

Hua Lanzheng took one last look and hurriedly left.

Jiang He jumped down from the air when the space could no longer be maintained. She landed on a branch, and within three minutes, these people were already far away.

The silver flower, which is the longevity lock on her body, can temporarily summon a three-cubic-meter space.

The space exists for a limited time of three minutes. After three minutes, the space will disappear, the skill will refresh, and it can be summoned again after one hour.

An hour later, after sensing Hua Lanzheng's presence, Jiang He decisively used spatial tearing to escape.

Otherwise, a fierce battle would be inevitable, and she would most likely be broken in half like these branches.

Light Spirit Root? This was the first time she had ever seen one.

She didn't recognize Hua Lanzheng, but she could tell from the clothing of the people just now that they belonged to the Lingyun Sect.

Hua Lanzheng's purpose was clear, and she had obviously come prepared.

Jiang He came here for two reasons: to kill someone and for the opportunity this place offers. It would be a pity not to follow him.

Jiang He held a bamboo leaf in her hand. She might not be able to defeat the leader, but most of the disciples behind her were at the early Nascent Soul stage.

The ritual implements that Jiang He bought, bamboo leaves can be used to trace clues.

She hid the bamboo leaves and began to look again at the strange tree that had seen her as prey:

"Everyone's gone, aren't you coming out yet?"

Jiang He chuckled softly.

Perhaps hearing the commotion, the broken branches, along with the remaining twigs on the ground, were thrown at Jiang He.

The branches sprouted sharp thorns, and in addition to the physical attacks, Jiang He also sensed a terrifying black aura.

It's the aura of a demon.

With sharp thorns in front, the forest began to tremble as Jiang He spoke, and all the branches on the ground pressed down, as if to imprison Jiang He there.

"cut!"

The red threads danced, and the dense transparent lines overhead suddenly tightened, their color changing from white to red.

A section of spider leg at Jiang He's wrist was rapidly spinning silk.

The silk threads, coated with golden spiritual energy, became incredibly sharp, piercing straight through the blackened, decaying wood.

Jiang He looked up and saw that all the branches that had attacked her had been cut down by the spider silk. She quickly summoned fire spirit energy.

Suddenly, several fire-enhancing talismans flew around with flames. Because the forest was dry and full of dead branches, the entire forest was burned the moment the flames appeared.

A blazing light flashed in his eyes, and he ran rampant.

Jiang He's lips moved slightly: "If you burn this forest, your true form won't last long either."

Just as Jiang He was about to intensify the attack, several ugly brown roots sprang up from the ground.

They resemble squid tentacles, each one shrouded in black mist, with mouthparts secreting mucus faintly visible above them.

The complex root system resembles a net or a cage, followed by a wooden stake with a dark head.

The wooden stake connected to the head was extremely eerie.

Jiang He and the Ghost Tree stared at each other. The Ghost Tree's strength was probably at the peak of A-level. Every attack was mixed with a strong black aura. Its roots were numerous, and if you were not careful and your mouth was covered, it would suck your skin until it was completely drained.

As the grotesque tree looked at the arrogant human before it, a pool of viscous fluid unconsciously seeped from its head, and its eyes revealed its undisguised elation.

It had been a long time since any cultivators had come to this place; it had almost forgotten the scent of humans.

Overflowing with vitality? Plump and sweet?

The strange tree's eyes were fixed on Jiang He, and only one thought remained in its mind: to eat her!

Eat more humans...

It wants to eat people...

The unusually nimble roots swept across Jiang He's neck, and as she lowered her head, Jiang He emitted red threads that wrapped around the roots of the strange tree.

The next second, repeat this operation until the thread is completely wrapped around the base of the ghost tree.

The bound monster immediately exposed its mandibles at the base, spewing out black gas, followed by a dense array of black sharp teeth.

The red thread broke, and under the influence of the black fangs, it seemed as if the red spider web was utterly vulnerable.

But Jiang He knew this was an opportunity.

The broken red thread gave rise to golden spiritual energy.

She opened a jar of golden powder that was in her spatial ring.

Enriching metals solely through the power of metal spirit energy is too slow, so Jiang He purchased a batch of expensive metal materials from the black market.

As the powder began to dissipate, a thread suddenly emerged from the golden spiritual energy, carrying the powder with it.

In an instant, each of the broken red threads was repaired by the golden spiritual energy.

Jiang He accurately remembered the direction of each line, and the red and gold lines intersected and entangled the eerie tree once again.

Her golden spiritual energy was depleted. She brought her two fingers together, ignoring the stinging pain in her spiritual veins, and bent her fingers downwards towards the void in front of her, causing the thread to tighten once more:

"cut!"

Besides the sharp red lines, the flames behind the eerie tree transformed into a sharp blade.

By the time it realized it, it was already too late.

Countless red threads bound every root of the monster, half of which was embedded in the soil, pulling it downwards, while the other half was attached to other supports, pulling the eerie tree upwards.

The forces from above and below interacted, firmly fixing the strange tree in place.

The flame-shaped blade pierced into the demon's body along its patterns, and Jiang He decisively mobilized the fire elemental energy within her body, transforming it into a massive energy projectile that slammed into the strange tree.

As the flames engulfed the last inch of the root, Jiang He felt a pang of regret:

"It's a bit of a waste to die like that."

Jiang He gathered up the corpse of the strange tree; it had all turned to ashes, with little fertilizer content. Even after being placed in the fertilizer container, it hadn't reached 1% of the collection progress.

Since the space expanded, the amount of fertilizer required has increased fivefold. To make the crops in the space grow faster, adding fertilizer with a high-level monster is more effective than adding fertilizer with a low-level monster.

After killing the Ghost Tree, Jiang He killed a number of A-level monsters in succession.

As she watched the fertilizer tank being filled to capacity, she continued hunting with satisfaction.

There are quite a few monsters here, making it a suitable place for training. No wonder cultivators from academies and sects have all come out to train.

The spiritual energy within Jiang He's body went through a continuous cycle, from depletion to abundance, and then from abundance to depletion.

The cave was spacious, and Jiang He flew at low altitude on her sword for quite a distance before encountering any people.

Where there are people, there is conflict. Adhering to the principle of not meddling in other people's business, Jiang He quickly left. She moved towards Hua Lanzheng's location little by little until a pure white silver tiger came into view.

Jiang He looked at the familiar figure, hesitated for only a moment, and a sword flew past her cheek:

"Pei Ci! You traitor to the Lingyun Sect!"

"Hurry up and surrender..."
