I'm a villain, not a devil

When they were at the bottom of the underground, Sean tried to see the other person's full appearance, but the half pointer that had merged into his body reminded him not to look directly at him.

This pointer originated from the Seducer's High Priest, and was closely connected to the evil god's original power. Even the pointer was reminding itself, which was enough to prove how terrifying the full picture of that existence would be.

Sean tried to use the Eye behind him which could not be contaminated to watch, but he could not find a perfect angle. In other words, if he was noticed by the other party, his real body would still be targeted even if he used the Eye behind him.

Under such circumstances, Sean would naturally not be stupid enough to look directly at the other person.

But unexpectedly, even the illusions created by his fox magic would be contaminated and distorted.

This seemed to have involved the most fundamental and special pollution. Even after the illusion was distorted and shattered, Sean could feel an inexplicable thing drilling into his body along the connection between him and the illusion.

"I've never felt such terrible pollution...Is it a person? Or a mummy?"

After cutting off the connection between the pollution and himself, Sean directly destroyed the broken and distorted part of the illusion to prevent the pollution from eroding him silently again.

In the distance, the Black Dove Prison spread its wings and soared, leaving the sky and sinking into the evil dome.

The tree man that fell from the bird's beak disappeared.

Sean frowned slightly. If this was the case, then the mummy connected to the black nematodes was the lowest-level criminal, and the tree man was the guard codenamed 'Plague Saliva'?

He felt a little ridiculous.

The person that the tree people want to rescue is not a tree person, and they are even being guarded by a tree person?

And the thing that the tree people wanted to release should be the source of the black nematodes - but this thing has become a means for the emperor to control the people of the empire?

"Outrageous..." Sean muttered softly and looked into the distance.

"Tsk, this time, Bai Ye's trip will be in vain? I thought the tree people would send a large army to pick us up, but in the end, the black pigeons just flew away..."

At this time, near the abandoned mine, Bai Ye was looking up at the sky in surprise.

Shadow stood beside her with a serious look in his eyes and whispered, "Your Highness... that thing in the sky, is it the Black Pigeon Prison?"

Bai Ye nodded seriously, then frowned again: "That's not what Sean said..."

She brought almost all the troops she had - not really troops, but her personal guards. They were all talented people she had recruited, not many in number, but strong enough.

The purpose of coming here is to ambush the tree people's troops that may be lurking nearby. According to Sean, if the Black Pigeon Prison is suddenly opened and a prisoner is released, they can ignore the prisoner and first take down the tree people's army that comes to support them. For the front-line battle that is not going smoothly, wiping out a tree people army that has penetrated deep into the hinterland is definitely a huge achievement.

She was weak in the military, but a gap had been created between Bai Zhan and Bai Youming. With this achievement, Bai Ye could gain a foothold in the military without paying much of a price.

The problem is, the current situation is different from what Sean said - why did the black pigeon fly away directly?

Just as I was thinking about what to do next, suddenly, the spy outside came running back.

"Your Highness, we have discovered the Treeman's army!"

Bai Ye was delighted, as he had thought he had no chance. However, he never expected that the tree man’s troops would still appear nearby.

However, before she could order her guards to get ready, the spy revealed a strange and odd look.

"What's wrong?" Bai Ye frowned.

"The enemy hasn't entered our ambush area yet, but has already started fighting with other things."

"something else?"

……

"You go back first." Sean called out the people hiding in the mirror space.

The weak Bai You had a complicated expression. He looked at Sean deeply, but the latter just smiled calmly.

"Take some time to recuperate. After all, there are many things that still require the Third Prince's help. There may be many dangerous things for you to do, hahahaha." Sean laughed unconcealedly.

Elisa Lam looked worried, but when she looked at her son, she found that his tense body had relaxed a lot.

This is... confirming one's own value...

A feeling of bitterness surged in his heart, but Bai You touched his chest and saluted Sean.

"I understand."

He turned his head to look at Elisa Lam and said solemnly, "Mother, I believe you also know a lot of things... I was imprisoned in the Black Pigeon. If it weren't for the supplies that Sean secretly sent me, I might not have survived until now. I would have been half crazy... I owe him a favor, and I have to repay him."

Elisa Lam sighed inwardly. She naturally felt complicated when she heard Bai You say that. On the one hand, Sean really kept his promise and took care of Bai You in prison. On the other hand, Bai You was afraid that he would not only repay him, but also avenge himself.

But the cause of all this was that she sneaked into the treasury of the empire to help her youngest son Bai Si steal something...

The bad fate between herself and Sean is no longer clear, but as for Bai Si... she doesn't know how to comment on her own son doing such a thing.

But what we can see is that the two brothers have stood on opposite sides.

These are her two sons...

Both mother and son had mixed emotions. Zhu Zhu on the other side held his parents' hands tightly with red eyes.

Sean consoled her and said softly, "Take the people back first. Your parents will need some time to recover. You can stay at my place."

"Hmm..." Zhu Zhu nodded gently, then looked at Sean, "What about you?"

Sean looked into the distance: "Maybe there are still some things to deal with..."

Bai Ye brought a lot of people with him, so it might be a wasted trip. I have to go and deal with it.

After Zhu Zhu and the others left, Sean took Xiao Ci with him, and the brother and sister quickly headed towards the abandoned mine.

On the way, Sean asked, "The black dove has flown away, so you can't feel that basic power anymore, right?"

Xiao Ci closed his eyes and thought for a while, as if sensing something.

Finally, she opened her eyes and said with a hint of doubt: "It is indeed a lot blurrier... but it seems that the power has not disappeared."

"What do you mean? You can still contact Black Pigeon?"

"No, I can no longer feel the Black Dove... But, that power doesn't seem to come from the Black Dove itself?"

Hearing what Xiao Ci said, Sean looked thoughtful.

Didn't the original power Xiao Ci felt come from the black pigeon itself? Strange, the black pigeon was a complete prop like the Imperial Treasury, or even a living being.

The black pigeon flew away, which means that its power has not been lost. Logically speaking, Xiao Ci should not be able to feel it...

Wait, what Xiao Ci has been able to feel is the "defensive power" of the Black Pigeon... Isn't the Black Pigeon using its own power to defend itself?

There is always a sense of disharmony here... something is wrong...

While thinking, Sean had already arrived at the abandoned mine.

As soon as we got closer, we heard the sound of fighting from the front.

"The Tree People are here to support us?"

Sean floated up, but saw that the battlefield in front of him was divided into two parts.

Bai Ye was leading her personal guards in a battle with a group of tree people. Her princes were all good fighters, and there were two deep reds, Shadow and Ice Blue. Plus she was the Moon Queen who had just been promoted, so the trend was almost one-sided.

The reason why the treeman army was so unbearable was that they were divided into two groups.

Another group of tree people were also fighting, and their target was the strange tree person in the black pigeon, who was guarding the plague.

"Why did the plague get here... Besides, it's quite strange when tree people fight with each other."

Sean was not in a hurry to join the battlefield. He noticed that the treeman troops on both sides were at a disadvantage. There was no need to say much about Bai Ye's side, and the other side seemed to be because Plague Sham was still in a half-crazy state, and he always couldn't help wanting to chase something, resulting in his strength not being able to be exerted.

Even so, the Plague Saliva still completely suppressed the Treeman's troops.

"So powerful, the plague saliva is at least at the peak of crimson..." Sean looked a little solemn.

The plague saliva is not so dangerous, and the half-crazy tree man is not very dangerous.

But if we infer from the strength of Plague Saliva, what level should the prisoner who can suppress Plague Saliva be at... However, it seems that this is the only reasonable way...

Just as he was thinking about it, Sean suddenly raised his head as if he had sensed something.

There seemed to be a flash of golden light across the iron-blue evil sky.

Not only Sean, but the treeman army and the plague saliva also raised their heads.

The golden flash hidden in the evil dome circled in the sky. After a moment, the flash split into two, one in the south and one in the north.

The Plague Saliva and the Tree People made noisy and cheering sounds at the same time. They actually bloomed bright flowers together, and dense green leaves grew out from all over their bodies, clapping like human hands.

Without any hesitation, the group of tree people and plague saliva who were fighting just now turned around at the same time.

The plague saliva chased the golden light heading north, while the group of tree people chased the golden light heading south.

At the same time, the group of tree people who stayed in place and fought with Bai Ye and others also blossomed and grew leaves. Their fighting power was rapidly expanding, and they actually suppressed Bai Ye and others in turn.

"What is that golden light..." Sean muttered to himself in doubt.

He had a feeling that the golden light was something very precious.

Not only Sean, but Xiaoci as well.

She looked at Sean: "Brother, I cherish that golden light very much!"

Even Xiao Ci said so, and she could sense some special original power... Was it caused by the black pigeon taking off?

“Hiss, two golden lights… catch up with one first.”

Sean no longer hesitated and revealed his figure.

"Bai Ye, you deal with these people."

Bai Ye, who had used the moonlight to block the attack from the leaves, looked up and immediately shouted, "What are you going to do?"

Sean glanced at the area where the battle was still going on. Although the group of tree people had been strengthened, Bai Ye and the others were suppressed in return but were caught off guard. It should not be a problem to deal with them after they come to their senses.

He picked up Xiao Ci and threw her down: "Take care of my sister. I'll help you chase that person."

Chasing someone, you are chasing that golden light, right?

Although I don’t know what the golden light is, judging from Sean’s appearance, it must be a good thing, but the tree people here also need to be dealt with.

She walked straight up on the moonlight and held Xiao Ci firmly in her arms.

Sean had disappeared in mid-air.

Bai Ye, who was about to say something, had to hold her words back. She turned her head to look at Xiao Ci. The two beauties, one big and one small, looked at each other in silence.

"Did your brother chase that golden light?"

Xiao Ci nodded.

I knew it……

Bai Ye shook her head, she flew back to the ground and enveloped Xiao Ci with a ray of moonlight.

"Just stay here and wait for us to deal with them. I guess your brother will be back soon."

After saying that, she joined the battle with the tree people again.

Xiao Ci touched the soft yet solid moonlight with his hand, and turned his gaze thoughtfully to the place where the plague saliva disappeared.

On the other side, Sean, who was chasing quickly, finally saw the group of crazy tree people.

The tree people's roots are buried in the soil, and their rhizomes and the land are rolling, as if they are surfing on the mud and rushing forward rapidly.

Following the other party's angle, Sean could already see a faint light in front of him.

It must be a good thing. It can strengthen the tree man and make him chase after me like crazy...

Sean was not in a hurry, but hid his body and followed closely behind the tree people.

The two golden lights went in opposite directions, and Sean could obviously only choose one direction. Compared to the plague saliva whose strength was unknown, this group of tree people was easier to bully.

The golden light in front was moving at an extremely fast speed. If it hadn't changed direction from time to time and lingered in the same place for a while, Sean would have been unable to keep up.

"Why does it feel like we're heading towards the imperial capital..." Sean muttered to himself as he noticed the direction of the golden light.

The tree people obviously noticed this. It was too dangerous to go deep into the heart of the empire, let alone get close to the imperial capital.

The leading tree man shook his leaves, and instantly, dozens of powerful tree men rushed to the front of the team.

They raised their branches toward the sky.

"Mother, your child longs to return to your arms."

Degradation? Sean's eyes flashed with surprise.

When there was no danger, this group of tree people actually degraded themselves?

But Sean soon found out why. As the tree people degraded themselves, the golden light in front of him actually stopped in place.

It seemed to be turning around and "looking" towards the place where the tree people were degrading.

"Please let your mother's thoughts return to her homeland!" The leading tree man roared tragically, and then he actually began to break apart from the waist and abdomen.

His breath was rapidly dissipating, but his lower body had turned into a hollow tree stump.

The golden light stopped, and then, under the low chanting of the remaining tree people, it began to sway and float towards the hollow tree stump.

This... is also a ritual? Moreover, the effect of this ritual is so powerful, because so many tree people's lives are sacrificed... Sean, who is proficient in rituals, showed surprise.

Below, the chanting of the tree people became more tragic and pious. A thin-looking tree man walked out, with a small golden leaf growing on his earlobe.

The golden leaves were glowing, and his body was growing stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Even Sean looked shocked.

Damn it…Originally that guy could only be considered crimson, and the weakest among the group, but now, his aura is already upper crimson?

Moreover, he seemed to be very adaptable to this power without any sense of emptiness. Even Sean in the dark felt the oppression.

Are the tree people absorbing the golden light?

Sean suddenly realized that if the golden light completely fell into the hollow tree stump, the power in it would probably be completely absorbed.

Damn it, that’s mine!
