The Little Moon Moth Phoenix stopped in front of the tree cave and stared at the demon that had brought her nothing but misfortune.

The remorse that Yan Shi had displayed prior to her death...

The loneliness of the Moon Moth Phoenix in her previous life, hiding in the deep mountains...

The misunderstanding that was only resolved at the end of their lives...

However, time would only flow in one direction. There was no going back in time!

The only thing she could do was annihilate the demon tree. Otherwise, the souls of the last Moon Moth Phoenix and Yan Shi would never find peace!

The Giant Purple Linden opened the tree cave to vent its frustrations!

The Little Moon Moth Phoenix suddenly beat her wings. She dove into the tree cave on the Giant Purple Linden, leaving a glowing trail behind.

The Giant Purple Linden was suddenly terrified. It began twisting its trunk vigorously, trying to spit the Little Moon Moth Phoenix out, yet it did not stand a chance against the special creature.

The Giant Purple Lindens trunk had begun to wilt after losing the energy of the Sacred Linden Leaves, not to mention the damage being inflicted on it by Mo Fan and the others. It was already at its limit!

Rays of sacred moonlight burst out of the Giant Purple Linden after the Little Moon Moth Phoenix dived inside it. Its insides were organic and bloody, mainly consisting of blood-sucking tubes that maintained its elegant and vivid appearance on the outside. However, the Moon Moth Phoenixs brilliance was effective at purifying any evil presence!

When the insides of the Giant Purple Linden were purified, it could no longer maintain its elegant and sturdy appearance. Cracks began to widen as more light burst out of the tree!

Segments of the Giant Purple Linden began to collapse amid the purifying light, starting from the trunk, extending to the branches, and finally its leaves!

The demon tree that had relied on its beautiful and elegant appearance to trick its prey slowly turned into purple ashes. The Wind of Sorrow carried them away, and slowly blew them into the distance.

Mo Fan looked at the remains of the demon tree and let out a relieved sigh.

He had finally managed to eliminate the demon tree. Yan Shi and the last Moon Moth Phoenix had sacrificed their lives to stop the demon tree, but the new Moon Moth Phoenix was able to evolve through its final death. It had finally ended in a pleasant way!

Mo Fan, leaves, the leaves! Zhao Manyan reminded him urgently.

What leaves... holy crap, were rich!

Mo Fan was focusing his attention on the Little Moon Moth Phoenixs brilliance so much that he did not even notice the purple-golden leaves scattering across the place after the Giant Purple Linden died. These leaves might not be as valuable as the Sacred Linden Leaves, but some enterprise at Mount Kunyu was buying them at a high price, offering at least a hundred thousand for every leaf. The leaves falling from the sky were basically stacks of cash!

Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan were money-grubbers. They quickly collected the leaves while everyone else was still lost in thought. They were moving even faster than they had during the battle!

Mo Fan managed to collect a full sack of the leaves in no time. Zhao Manyan had also collected a lot of them. The two roughly estimated their profit: they had collected enough leaves to become suppliers! They could easily earn millions with them!

Lets see if theres any other loot! Mo Fan exclaimed.

Zhao Manyan was searching, too. Even a ninth of the demon trees body would still be full of treasure...

After the light reached its peak, the Little Moon Moth Phoenix beat her wings and flew toward Mo Fan. She was carrying a purple fruit with a red sheen on its surface.

Any way you looked at it, it was Mo Fan that had insisted on eliminating the demon tree. Little Moon Moth Phoenix obviously knew she should be grateful. She voluntarily offered Mo Fan the fruit.

Mo Fan looked at the fruit. To be honest, the thing looked more like a pumping heart than a fruit. Was there any fruit that would pound like a heart?

What is this? Mo Fan asked.

Little Moon Moth Phoenix uttered a soft cry. Mo Fan could only feel a soft breeze blowing at his ear.

Mo Fan could not understand her. He immediately called Apas over.

Apas rolled her eyes and said, I dont understand her language!

Little Flame Belle, you do it.

Little Flame Belle stood on his shoulder and stared at Little Moon Moth Phoenix with wide eyes. The Little Moon Moth Phoenix stared back at her with wide eyes, too.

The two little creatures remained silent for a few minutes, as if they were comparing who was more adorable between them!

Its the Purple Linden Fruit. It contains the hatred of every living creature that the Giant Purple Linden has slaughtered. Little Moon Moth Phoenix believes you can deal with it! Yu Shishi stepped forward to be the interpreter.

What do you mean? Shes giving me something that contains hatred? Im not a vengeful spirit collector! Mo Fan grumbled.

Mo Fan, the orb! Lingling tugged Mo Fans sleeve and reminded him.

What orb? What does Little Moon Moth Phoenix mean? Why is she giving me such an evil fruit... hah? Mo Fan suddenly remembered something in the middle of his diatribe.

He lowered his eyes and saw the Essence Orb he had been carrying emitting a bright light, as if it could not wait to devour the Purple Linden Fruit with a single bite.

Thats right, he could fill the Essence Orb with the energy inside the fruit!

If the Essence Orb had a temper, it might have jumped up and smacked Mo Fan in the head. It was specifically designed to absorb all evil presences. Wasnt it obvious that the fruit full of hatred was the perfect food for it?

Here you go, take it, its yours! Mo Fan was overjoyed. He quickly shoved the Purple Linden Fruit toward the Essence Orb.

The glow of the Purple Linden Fruit began to weaken as soon as it was drawn close to the Essence Orb. Streams of energy were flowing from the Purple Linden Fruit to the Essence Orb, the fruit gradually shrinking during the process.

The Essence Orb soon absorbed the energy of the fruit. It fell silent after enjoying the pleasant meal, needing some time to digest the energy.

The Essence Orb was satisfied, but it was the Little Loach Pendants turn to throw a tantrum. It was vibrating in protest!

Little Loach had no interest in the fruit. If it was fond of the fruit, it would have absorbed its energy before Mo Fan could even ask his retarded questions. The Essence Orb would have no chance of competing with it. It was protesting because Mo Fan had yet to find any food to feed it!

Dont worry, be patient, well soon find the Tree of Vows. Little Moon Moth Phoenix is still too young to provide you with the energy of Totem Beasts, but the Deer God at the Tree of Vows should have plenty of energy for you. You will be enjoying a great feast in no time! Mo Fan comforted the Pendant.

Little Loach was easily deceived. It soon fell silent, as it believed Mo Fan was going to find the Tree of Vows and the Deer God for it.

Speaking of which, did any of you notice that the winged beasts are watching us? Ling Fei suddenly spoke up.

The Giant Purple Linden had occupied a huge space on Mount Baiba. It was like a mountain covered in plants, and the winged beasts could only see magic flickering through the gaps, instead of the humans.

However, after the Giant Purple Linden wilted away, the group was basically standing on a barren mountainside, completely exposed to the winged beasts in the sky. Their sharp gazes were like stars, thousands of cold arrows aiming at them. The group could even feel cold sweat sliding down their necks.

Are they going to attack us? We just did them a huge favor by taking out a great threat. How could they turn against us? Zhao Manyan protested in a trembling voice.

Loud cries sounded continuously. Zhang Xiaohou followed the cries and saw a large group of Winged Patrol Beasts flying to their altitude, circling a powerful winged beast with steel gray feathers, as if the lesser winged beasts were reporting to their superior.

This is bad! Zhang Xiaohous heart skipped a beat.

Its those things again! Li Dexin was enraged as soon as he saw the Winged Patrol Beasts.

Thats the Mountain Crusher Ruler, the leader of the Winged Patrol Beasts. Those Winged Patrol Beasts have recognized us... We did kill a lot of their friends along the way, Zhang Xiaohou sighed.

How vengeful are these creatures? How did they know it was us? Do they have a facial recognition system? Zhao Manyan said.

We are stained with the smell of the Winged Patrol Beasts blood! Damn it, the Winged Patrol Beasts werent supposed to reach our current altitude, but the restrictions are lifted because of the ceremony. The Winged Patrol Beasts that attacked us are here too! Zhang Xiaohou pointed out.

The powerful winged beast beat its steel gray wings. The large group of Winged Patrol Beasts led by the Mountain Crusher Ruler were approaching them like a cloud of bats!

The Mountain Crusher Ruler had a formidable aura, like a small gray mountain floating in the sky. It soon loomed over them and stared down at them imperiously.

Is it looking for a fight? We can take it out together if its holding a grudge against us, Mo Fan was ready to fight the creature.

Brother Fan, dont do it! That creature is the Qinling Mountains peace officer. If it thinks we are a threat to the Qinling Mountains, it will alert the Emperor of Feathers, and every winged beast in the sky is going to attack us... Zhang Xiaohou interrupted him.

What should we do then!? Mo Fan began to panic.

If the winged beasts decided to attack them... if he remembered correctly, he still had yet to fill up the Essence Orb...
