Hei Jiao was momentarily taken aback, his dragon eyes flashing as he noticed that the Sha Qi emanating from the Tree Demon had indeed diminished. This indicated that she was not lying.
Surprised, Hei Jiao glanced at the Tree Demon, astonished that she had actually listened to him. Initially, he had merely suggested it, hoping to encourage her to be more restrained. Well, not bad, he thought, giving her a compliment in his mind.
As he scrutinized the Tree Demon, he suddenly waved his hand, and a mysterious light shot into her forehead. The Tree Demon had yet to react when her internal magical power began to boil, and her aura erupted explosively.
The Tree Demon was taken aback.
Hei Jiao calmly reassured her that this was merely a breakthrough.
The Tree Demon paused for a moment before realizing that what she had previously perceived as an insurmountable bottleneck was now starting to tremble. She felt a surge of excitement; this was a breakthrough!
Not daring to lose focus, she quickly concentrated all her energy to push against the bottleneck.
Before long, a thunderous roar echoed in the Tree Demon’s mind. For a brief moment, everything went blank.
However, Hei Jiao could see that the already massive tree had grown taller by several dozen feet, its branches extending and becoming even more lush. It was as if a lid had been placed atop Black Mountain, completely shrouding it beneath the tree's canopy.
Hei Jiao nodded slightly; it was quite impressive.
The Tree Demon suddenly regained her senses and felt the powerful strength coursing through her body. She looked again at Hei Jiao and felt a jolt in her heart—she had already reached the Yuan Shen Realm, yet she still could not fathom his level of power. In his presence, she felt like an ant.
Gratefully thanking him, the Tree Demon became even more respectful towards Hei Jiao.
Hei Jiao waved his hand dismissively, stating that this was what she deserved. He believed in rewarding merit and punishing wrongdoing.
The Tree Demon felt fortunate; it was a good thing she had been intimidated by Hei Jiao at that time and had obediently followed his guidance.
Otherwise, this time it might not be an enhancement of cultivation, but rather a punishment. She secretly made up her mind to remember this lesson in the future.
Hei Jiao glanced at the Tree Demon, and there was still one more thing. "You command, and Little Demon will definitely take care of it," the Tree Demon replied promptly.
Hei Jiao raised an eyebrow. "I will be heading to Guobei County soon. You know, the place where I let that person go last time."
The Tree Demon was taken aback, thinking carefully for a moment before exclaiming in surprise, "Are you talking about that scholar named Qin Feng?"
Hei Jiao nodded slightly. "Yes, when you see him, it's as if you see me. Do you understand?" His tone became a bit more serious.
The Tree Demon was startled and immediately replied, "Yes, my lord, Little Demon understands."
Hei Jiao gave the Tree Demon a look. "Well then, it's settled." After saying that, his figure soared into the air and disappeared without a trace.
Watching Hei Jiao vanish, the Tree Demon straightened up and let out a sigh of relief. For some reason, he felt an immense pressure in front of this figure.
The Tree Demon's expression turned grave as he turned to look in the direction of Guobei County. A fierce dragon was about to cross the river; with such a powerful lord backing him, he would likely rise quickly in the north.
The Tree Demon’s eyes flickered as he began to think about how to establish a good relationship with this county. Right, first he needed to clear out the monsters in the city. His expression turned cold; since all his subordinates had perished, he could use those monsters to fill the gaps.
With that thought in mind, the Tree Demon flew toward Guobei County.
On the other side, Qin Feng squinted his eyes. With the White Tiger dealt with, things should settle down for a while. He could also take some time to manage Guobei County well; it was indeed a good place.
