A crescent moon in the night sky casts a faint light, making the already dark and gloomy earth.

In a forest not far from the city of the last light, a figure passed through the dense forest and came to the bottom of a tree.

Perhaps tired from the journey, he rested his right hand on the trunk of the tree, as if to rest for a while, while his eyes looked around warily from time to time.

Every time night comes, the abilities of dark creatures, both in combat power and perception, will be greatly enhanced.

Even the Emperor is reluctant to spend the night in the wilderness, because the night will make the dark creatures no longer afraid of their own breath, and once they are spotted by the dark creatures, they will attack like mad dogs until the target or themselves die.

What the man didn't notice was that there were suddenly two more dim lights on the trunk of the tree behind him, which looked like a pair of eyes on closer inspection.

Distorted lines appeared on the surface of the trunk, and the branches on both sides drooped down like two sharp swords stabbing the man's neck little by little.

Suddenly, the movement of the two branches stopped.

The trunk of the tree shook violently, and the leaves rubbed against each other violently, making a rope sound like a scream of terror.

I saw that the right hand and forearm of the man under the tree had sunk into the trunk, and the twisted bark on the trunk became even more hideous, as if he was suffering a great deal of pain.

Vascular lines appeared on the man's right arm, and a faint glow continued to flow from the trunk into his body.

"It's delicious."

In a cold and strange laugh, the man slowly withdrew his right hand, and then the demon tree, which had been drained of all its strength, turned into powder with a thud.

As the magic tree fell, a faint moonlight took the opportunity to fall on the man's face.

Jiang Chen.

No, more accurately, the source of darkness that has returned from resurrection.

He looked at the gloomy forest in front of him, and a smile of excitement and cruelty appeared on his face.

In this forest, there is the Demon Tree Legion, one of the ten dark legions under the Dark Domain.

This was the Darkland's plan to make sure that Endlight City would not interfere with his plans to destroy the Elven Forest, and now, it would all be his sustenance.

He grinned, as if he were walking in his backyard, and paced towards the next magic tree.

Soon, he saw the tall magic tree disguised as an ordinary tree.

At this moment, on the branch of the magic tree, a huge bird with fiery red feathers was perched.

Phoenix.

The Dark Origin was a little surprised, although he had been sealed for many years, but in the past three years, he had already had a general understanding of the situation in this era through what Jiang Chen had seen and heard.

Maybe there are other phoenixes in this world, but the phoenix of the fire attribute can only be the one of the Fire Saint Sect.

The Fire Phoenix, which originally belonged to the Fire Saint Sect, appeared in the Western Fantasy Land, indicating that the Dark Domain's plan in Yanyang County was already half successful.

As for the other half, it was obvious that this fire phoenix did not have the slightest dark aura on it.

This shows that the Dark Realm has not been able to demonize it and control it completely.

This can also miss, what a fool.

Dark Origin thought disdainfully.

After he counter-controlled Jiang Chen that day, he fled away from Yanyang County, not knowing that the plan of the dark domain had completely failed.

Although he was a little puzzled that the Fire Phoenix did not have the slightest remnant of the Demon Seed on its body, he didn't bother to think about it.

Since the Fire Phoenix was not contaminated with darkness, he had little interest in it for the time being.

The cultivation of Jiang Chen's body has just broken through to the middle stage of the king level, and in this dark territory, the dark origin can exert a combat power close to the late stage of the king level, but it is still a little difficult to deal with the fire phoenix with the peak cultivation of the king level.

What's more, although the Dark Origin often looks a little crazy because of his own characteristics, he is not brainless, and he does not want to expose his existence until his strength is restored.

After all, the autonomous consciousness born from the source of darkness was very greedy for him.

At this moment, he saw that the magic tree stretched out sharp branches, and pierced the neck of the fire phoenix little by little.

Idiot.

He sneered, turned and left.

He could already guess the fate of this magic tree, and the fluctuations of the battle would inevitably attract more demon trees.

Sure enough, before he had gone far, a huge flame ignited behind him.

Immediately after, the ground shook slightly, and the demon trees hidden nearby were alarmed by the sky-high flames, and they all showed their bodies and surrounded the place where the fire phoenix was.

With a loud phoenix roar, the fire phoenix rushed through the darkness to the sky above the forest, and a scorching flame erupted, burning the first few demon trees into fire trees.

The fire phoenix didn't stay where it was, spitting flames as it flew towards the depths of the forest.

Countless demon trees were alarmed, and they rose from the ground, either quickly dodging the flames falling from the sky, or leaping high to try to shoot down the fiery phoenix in mid-air.

At the same time, many dark elves shot cold and sharp arrows in the dark, and dark birds rose into the sky.

Although the Demon Tree Legion was named after the Demon Tree, at that time, because the leader of this legion was an Emperor-level Demon Tree, the Legion was not only a Demon Tree, but also equipped with dark creatures with various abilities.

Of course, this level of attack could not pose a fatal threat to the fire phoenix with the peak cultivation of the king level, it flapped its wings hard, and the flames spit out from its mouth turned into overwhelming waves of flames, suppressing those arrows, birds, and even the demon trees that jumped high.

But soon, there were king-level dark creatures coming quickly.

Rumble!

The ground shook violently, and a huge magic tree that covered the sky and the moon flew from the depths of the forest.

Emperor-level magic tree!

The fire phoenix's body was shocked, as if it felt a great sense of oppression.

It reversed course and flew straight towards Endlight City.

Looking at the fleeing figure of the Fire Phoenix, and the Demon Tree Legion following closely behind, the Dark Origin smelled something unusual.

His face sank slightly, he couldn't eat properly tonight.

……

Wu Yu, under the leadership of the servants, took the Xuandong elevator to the eighth floor.

This floor is furnished with a number of rooms dedicated to entertaining foreign guests.

Coming out of the elevator, Wu Yu looked at the staircase not far away, where it was guarded by two earth knights wrapped in armor.

The elevator can only reach the eighth floor, and the only way to go up is to take the stairs, as the ninth floor is Crodil's residence, and the tenth floor is a heavily guarded temple.

The rooms on this floor are all large suites, and each room is set up with multiple servants' rooms.

Originally, Zhang Yang thought that it would be easy to forget about four people in a room, so that it would be convenient to evacuate after Wu Hui succeeded.

But considering that they are now Natalia's friends, it is easy to make people suspicious of the servants who live in the servants, so they have to give up.
