For a moment, their eyes changed, as if their memories came back. "It's really hateful. I didn't expect Tree Sage to be such a person." "Yes, this Tree Sage is really Disgusting, we still trust him so much. I didn’t expect him to be such a hateful person." Feng Ju looked at the people who had recovered their memories, and a smile appeared on his face, "Since everyone has recovered their memories, no. I know if you are willing to join our plan." When those people heard this, they quickly agreed. Before that, they had no other choice. Feng Ju told them the plan. They listened and nodded one after another, saying that Feng Ju's plan was very good. Because Spirit Feast was almost gone, we gave them the antidote in advance. After they got the antidote, they left. For a while, the hall became quiet again. "Little brother, thank you, and Former Spirit King. If it weren't for you, I don't know what to do with these people." Beast King said helplessly, Feng Ju and I can understand Beast KingHow I feel at this time. "It's not a big deal. Isn't this solved? Now, we have to cheer up. Only in this way can we defeat Tree Sage" I said. "Yes, everyone must keep up their spirits these days," Feng Ju said. "Okay, I hope our plan will be solved" Dumeng Princess also participated in our topic "Well, everyone come on" 0
"Wait, where is Xiaomei?" Suddenly, the Beast King spoke up. 0
 
"Because Xiaomei has something to attend to," Feng Ju replied first. 0
 
The Dumeng Princess paused for a moment, as if realizing something. "Are you hiding something from me?" 0
 
Feng Ju and I exchanged glances; it was indeed difficult to explain this matter to the Dumeng Princess, especially since it involved a romantic situation. Seeing that we were silent, the Dumeng Princess pressed us further. We both wore expressions of discomfort and turned to the Beast King for help. To our surprise, the Beast King did not pick up on our unspoken agreement and instead asked why we were looking at him like that. 0
 
"Fine, if you won't tell me, I'll be upset," the Dumeng Princess said, her expression darkening immediately. 0
 
With a sigh, Feng Ju and I said, "Is it really something you want to know about romance?" 0
 
As soon as those words left my mouth, the Dumeng Princess's face turned red. She froze for a moment before walking away. 0
 
Days passed by as we busily prepared for the upcoming event. Everyone was on edge, their nerves tightly wound; no one dared to let their guard down. 0
 
Finally, the Spirit Feast arrived amidst all the tension. 0
 
"I'm so nervous," the Dumeng Princess said, taking a deep breath. 0
 
I couldn't help but find her demeanor amusing and teased her, "It's not like you're getting married; why are you so nervous?" 0
 
To my surprise, the Dumeng Princess shot me an annoyed look and said, "Who says? When I marry you, I'll be just as nervous!" 0
 
Hearing that made my heart sink. What if Ruoxi heard this? She would definitely be upset. 0
 
"Why are you suddenly quiet? Are you shy?" the Dumeng Princess continued to press me. 0
 
 
Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my chest, as if Ruoxi was hitting me. 0
 
My heart sank instantly; Ruoxi must be angry. 0
 
"Hehe, let's not talk about that for now. I need to check something. If there's a mistake, it won't be good," I said hurriedly and slipped away. 0
 
I found a secluded spot and took out the ring, releasing Feng Ju. 0
 
"How's it going? Is everything ready?" Feng Ju asked me. 0
 
"Yes, everything is proceeding according to plan." 0
 
Feng Ju nodded. At that moment, it was time for the Spirit Feast to begin. Each tribe entered the banquet hall as planned. Since this matter concerned everyone, they were all very cautious, maintaining their previous demeanor. Before long, the banquet hall was filled with people. Everyone looked at the food on the table but had little appetite, likely having learned that it was poisoned. 0
 
I secretly wiped my sweat; this wouldn't do. I took the lead and started eating the food. Seeing this, Dumeng Princess grew anxious and was about to speak when I quickly shot her a warning glance. This was not good; if Tree Sage saw us, our carefully prepared plan could be ruined. 0
 
Dumeng Princess had no choice but to close her mouth and also took some food into her mouth. When the other tribespeople saw the beast tribe starting to eat, they followed suit and soon finished all the food on the table. 0
 
At that moment, Tree Sage stepped forward. His gaze swept across the table, and when he saw that all the food was gone, a smile spread across his face. It seemed that Tree Sage indeed had ulterior motives. 0
 
"Did everyone enjoy the meal? If not, we can continue," Tree Sage said as rows of maidens walked out from either side of him, each carrying more food. 0
 
The maidens placed the food on the table. The crowd's expressions changed slightly upon seeing it, but they reluctantly began to eat again. As the antidote's effects had yet to take place, some people started collapsing onto the table one by one. Tree Sage's expression grew more smug as I discreetly exchanged glances with Dumeng Princess and Beast King. When most of them had fallen down, we also pretended to collapse. 0
 
Once everyone at the banquet had fallen unconscious, Tree Sage let out a triumphant laugh. He flew to the center of the banquet hall and extended his hand into the air. Suddenly, I felt a wave of energy around me; wisps of white gas began seeping from those who had collapsed at the table. I realized that it was their power—Tree Sage was extracting their spiritual energy. 0
 
 
The Tree Sage was absorbed in his task, completely unaware that the group at our table had not truly descended. 0
 
"Should we make a move?" Dumeng Princess whispered to me, glancing at the Tree Sage. 0
 
I took a look and felt it wasn't the right moment yet, so I replied to Dumeng Princess, "Let's wait a bit longer." 0
 
Dumeng Princess nodded. By this time, the Tree Sage had nearly drained the spiritual energy from those around him. A faint black mist began to swirl around him. 0
 
"Look, what's happening?" Dumeng Princess remarked. 0
 
"Wang Jun, it's time to act. This is the Tree Sage at his weakest," Feng Ju's voice came from the ring. Before long, I saw Feng Ju burst forth from the ring and charge at the Tree Sage. 0
 
At that moment, the Tree Sage was oblivious to Feng Ju's presence. Suddenly, Feng Ju collided with the Tree Sage's chest, eliciting a startled cry from him. The impact sent the Tree Sage crashing into the wall behind him, and he spat out a mouthful of black blood, his face paling significantly. 0
 
Upon seeing Feng Ju, his expression shifted dramatically. 0
 
"What are you doing here? This can't be! I thought you were dead!" The Tree Sage exclaimed in shock. 0
 
"Heh heh, surprised, aren't you? Tree Sage, do you remember the sins you committed back then?" Feng Ju advanced step by step toward the Tree Sage. 0
 
Seeing that the Tree Sage had been taken down, we no longer needed to pretend. We all stood up from the table at that moment. 0
 
"You all...!" The Tree Sage stared blankly at us. 0
 
"Heh heh, didn't expect that your plan has already been uncovered by us," Feng Ju continued. 0
 
 
"It’s impossible, you’re lying to me!" The Tree Sage's expression immediately turned extremely agitated and ferocious. 0
 
He attempted to stand up and attack us, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get up. 0
 
"What’s happening to me?" The Tree Sage panicked, looking at us. "What have you done to me?" 0
 
"Heh heh, do you know about the Black Death?" Feng Ju stepped closer to the Tree Sage, raising his hand and striking him again. 0
 
The Tree Sage immediately spat out a mouthful of Black Blood. At that moment, he was weakly slumped against the ground, having lost any chance to fight back. 0
 
Feng Ju struck the Tree Sage once more and said, "This blow is for all the dead children. As the Guardian Deity of this world, you used everyone’s admiration for you to commit such atrocities. Not only that, but you also tried to pin these deeds on me. Your heart is truly wicked." 0
 
Seeing that his deeds had been exposed, the Tree Sage stopped speaking and instead began to laugh. 0
 
His laughter was terrifying, laced with malice. His eyes were filled with hostility as he said, "Heh, what do these people's lives matter? I am the protector of this world. How many years have I protected them? What wrong have I committed? If it weren't for me, could they have survived this long?" 0
 
Looking at the Tree Sage's ugly face, I shook my head in disbelief. I never expected a villain could pretend to be a good person. If it weren't for my trip to the deserted island, these matters might have been buried forever. 0
 
"Stop your nonsense!" Feng Ju raised his hand again and cast a spell on the Tree Sage. 0
 
Suddenly, wisps of black mist began to appear around the Tree Sage, growing in number until they nearly enveloped him. Instantly, an uneasy feeling arose within me; could it be that the Tree Sage was about to self-destruct? 0
 
"This is bad; we need to get out of here!" I said to Feng Ju. 0
 
No sooner had my words fallen than I saw the Tree Sage transform into a massive black sphere, growing larger by the moment. 0
 
 
A loud explosion echoed through the hall, shaking the entire venue as if an earthquake had struck. 0
 
"Everyone, get out of here!" I shouted immediately. 0
 
The crowd sensed something was wrong and quickly began to evacuate. 0
 
We dared not linger any longer; we took our leave before the place was completely destroyed. 0
 
Once outside, we looked back at the venue, now reduced to ruins. 0
 
Taking a deep breath, we realized that this plan had come to a perfect end. 0
 
"Are you all okay?" Feng Ju turned to us and asked. 0
 
I glanced at Dumeng Princess and Beast King. Seeing they were unharmed, I felt relieved and replied, "We're all fine." 0
 
Suddenly, I felt a strange sensation in my chest, and my face turned pale. 0
 
"Little brother, what's wrong?" Beast King was the first to notice my distress and asked with concern. 0
 
"Yeah, did you get hurt during the explosion?" Dumeng Princess said anxiously. 0
 
Just as I was about to respond, a light appeared in front of my chest. When it faded, Ruoxi stood before us. 0
 
I was momentarily stunned before realizing what had happened and rushed to embrace Ruoxi. 0
 
"Ruoxi, you've recovered, right?" I said excitedly. 0
 
"Yes, Wang Jun, I've recovered. We really need to thank Tree Sage," Ruoxi replied with a sweet smile on her face. 0
 
"Tree Sage?" I looked at Ruoxi in confusion. 0
 
Ruoxi nodded and explained, "Yes, we should definitely thank Tree Sage. When he self-destructed, his spiritual energy was released, and I absorbed it. That's how I was able to recover so quickly." 0
 
 
No matter what, it was a good thing that Ruoxi had recovered. 0
 
"Is this the wife you often talk about?" Dumeng Princess walked towards me. 0
 
"Yes, let me introduce you. This is my wife, Ruoxi," I said generously as I introduced her to Dumeng Princess. 0
 
Dumeng Princess's face first showed surprise, then she smiled. Her smile seemed a bit bittersweet as she said, "No wonder you can't bear to part with her; it turns out your wife is so beautiful." 0
