Xyán Míng hadn't expected to lose so badly!

I thought I could take advantage of that Ed's help and get revenge on Xuan Yi and the others, but in the end, it was him who suffered the consequences!

Even though Xuan Yi was injured, his strength is still formidable!

And speaking of Xuan Yi's apprentice! She's so young, yet incredibly gifted! If she has more time to grow, I fear that in the future, ten of me wouldn't even compare to one her!

Finally, there was that damned phoenix that came from nowhere!

This phoenix is already incredibly powerful, and paired with that Medusa...

Now, Xuan Ming is not only failing to eliminate Xuanyuan, but has also lost a top-notch mage's brain!

It's truly a case of losing the rice while trying to steal the chicken!

"Master? Master, you're back! Did you finish dealing with that little rascal?"

As soon as Shuyao saw Xuan Ming return, she scurried to his side with a fawning expression and asked ingratiatingly.

Even without any real spirit, he continued, "The subordinate knows that once Master makes a move, there's no one who can stand against you! I presume the little brat disciple I brought back for you is completely useless..."

"Get out!"

Before the tree demon could utter another word, Xuan Yi slapped it with a furious palm, sending it flying.

With a resounding "bang," the tree demon was instantly beaten back into its original form, becoming a small sapling no bigger than a hand...

The Treant was frightened and immediately stretched out two leaves to hug its own trunk, whimpering and looking at Xuan Ming: "Master, Master, don't be angry, did I say something wrong?"

Xuan Ming turned his head to look at the Tree Demon, his brow furrowed as veins throbbed on his forehead. He couldn't help but shout, "You've been cultivating for a thousand years, did you cultivate your brain away?"

"Huh? Master, master, trees, tree demons... they never really had any brains to begin with..."

“...”

The Tree Demon said pitifully, as if it were justified.

They are just trees!

Has anyone ever seen a tree with a brain?

He's not bad! He's at least a big banyan tree, now if he were a bamboo spirit, that would be like having an intestine that runs through everything, right?!

At least he, even though he doesn't have much brains, he still learns. For example, before, he learned by imitating his master's cool and domineering attitude...

The Tree Demon still wanted to say something, but when Xuan Ming glared at it, it immediately stopped talking.

The Tree Demon felt a little wronged. Its master got bullied outside and came back to vent on it...

Heaven knows, my heart belongs to the master!

Everything I see and do is for my master, I've fought tooth and nail to earn it!

He even stole the little rabbit's apprentice back and presented him to his master!

Then the master treated him like this...

Sniffle sniffle...

Indeed, he was merely a blade of grass unloved by its master.

In the master's heart, he was simply...

"You just said that the boy you brought back is Xuan Yi's grandson?"

Xueming thought of the tree demon's words and suddenly opened his mouth to ask, directly interrupting the pitiful babbling in the tree demon's heart.

The Tree Demon, upon hearing this, immediately widened its eyes. The small trunk frantically nodded, as if in agreement, saying: “Yes, yes! That's right! Xuan Yi's disciple! Master!”

How is their relationship... going?

"Good good good! Very very good! Master!!"

Xuan Ming lowered his head and glanced at the tree demon's foolish appearance. He took a deep breath and kicked the tree demon again, shouting: "Get lost! Seeing your stupid look just makes me annoyed!"

The fallen tree demon pitifully scrambled on the ground, the pain on his body nothing compared to the agony in his heart!

Wah wah wah…

As expected, in the master's heart, I was nothing compared to those seductive and cunning creatures! Those snake demons, fox demons, all sorts of lewd and alluring beings! They would use such low-class methods to vie for favor!

Master! Why don't you open your eyes and look at me, the tree demon? I am the only one who truly loves you!

They're just lusting after your body, only I want to be your strongest subordinate!

Xu Ming ignored the Tree Demon's thoughts at this moment and strode directly into the basement where Bai Yansheng was imprisoned.

This is a water prison, specially made by Xuan Ming to punish disobedient subordinates.

The water was extremely cold, and it even emitted a musty smell that was very nauseating.

While Bai Yansheng's hands were hanging like that, his chest and everything below were submerged in water, his face pale.

"You are Xuan Yi's grandson?"

Since the Tree Demon brought Bai Yansheng back, Xuan Ming had not looked at him.

In Xuan Ming's view, dealing with Xuan Yi probably wouldn't even require Bai Yan Sheng to succeed.

Moreover, he was unaware of Bai Yansheng's importance to Xuan Yi and the others, so he couldn't just treat him as a pawn.

But now...

Xuan Yi's strength had skyrocketed, and they had also missed this opportunity. Xuan Ming had no choice but to reassess Bai Yuan's value anew.

Bai Yansheng was extremely weak. After hearing Xuanming's voice, he slightly raised his head to glance at Xuanming, let out a mocking chuckle, and then lowered his head again.

Bai Yansheng also did not expect that he was considered unlucky enough.

After being tricked by that Soya, he was even preempted by this tree demon who kidnapped him.

He wondered to himself what he was capable of, and how he had come to be so important.

But...

This guy in front of me named Xuanming, you don't even need to ask, he's definitely not a good person!

At this moment, he brought up Xuan Yi, perhaps wanting to use me.

Xuan Ming saw Bai Yan's silence, narrowed his eyes, and said in a cold voice: "You are just like that group of people from Xuan Yi, your temper is really bad."

"But it's a shame, your temper should also be on par with your own strength. Do you have the qualifications?"

Bai Yansheng remained silent, as if he didn't care about Xuanming's sarcasm at all.

xuan Ming fell silent for a moment before breaking into a smile, "Don't worry, I won't take your life. However... I do need you to do me a small favor."

"Give up! Even in death, I won't harm An Bao and the others in the slightest."

Bai Yansheng finally spoke, his voice firm and resolute.

Xuan Ming raised an eyebrow, shook his head nonchalantly, and smiled wickedly: "What are you talking about? How could I let you die? You are Xuan Yi's grandson, shouldn't you call me Master Uncle? As your Master Uncle, how could I possibly take your life?"

"What do you want to do?" Bai Yansheng inexplicably felt something was wrong. Xuan Ming's way of speaking was too strange, and he didn't know what bad intentions he might have!

"Didn't you hear me? I just want you to help me."

"Don't even think about it!"

"This isn't a matter of whether you want to or not, I'll make you listen."

As Xuan Ming spoke, his eyes turned completely cold. With a flick of his hand, a black whirlwind shot towards Bai Yansheng, engulfing him!

"What is this? What do you want to do?"

Bai Yansheng found that his limbs were entangled by the black gas, unable to move. He stared at Xuanming anxiously.

“Oh…just a modification, don’t be afraid, it won’t hurt…”
