Chapter 982 - 969: Manipulation

Su Muyao and Mei Qingchen were watching from the dark places in the tree.

Mei Qingchen was wholeheartedly protecting Su Muyao.

However, Su Muyao looked at the battle situation in the distance, thinking about helping out at any moment.

Luckily, with the traps Su Muyao had set up, no matter how the giant beasts and Youluo Tree Beastmen attacked, they couldn’t get past the traps.

Even if the giant beasts were large, they were trapped, some falling into the traps and being pierced like sieves.

Let alone those Youluo Tree Beastmen.

"Ah..."

The shouting over there was extremely intense.

Mei Qingchen was somewhat worried and said, "Wife, are you okay?"

Although they were staying on a concealed ancient tree, snowflakes still fell down.

Su Muyao shook her head and said, "I’m fine."

Her focus was entirely on the distance now, with Wood Element Superpower infused into her eyes, she could see further.

Seeing Su Muyao’s not very good complexion, Mei Qingchen asked, "What’s wrong?"

Mei Qingchen’s all attention was on Su Muyao.

Su Muyao gently patted his arm and said, "Look quickly, those giant beasts aren’t right; their eyes are crimson, as if they’ve lost their minds."

"And those Youluo Tree Beastmen are the same."

"Like they’re being controlled."

"When I first entered the Divine Domain Fragment World, I went to Black Rock City and learned that demon beasts could use Demon Plants to control Beastmen, enticing them with desires in their hearts, turning them into puppets."

"After eating Demon Plants, they can quickly improve their strength in a short period while also burning Life Force to fight."

Su Muyao felt that the giant beasts now seemed to be controlled.

Their eyes crimson, attacking madly, losing rationality.

Fortunately, many traps were set up, along with Defensive Arrays, the giant beasts rushing forward fell, and more than half of the Youluo Tree Beastmen were dead or injured.

The leading Youluo Tree Beastman was unwilling, could only grit her teeth and said, "Retreat!"

At the same time, she waved a strange thing in her hand, making a bizarre sound, and it seemed to emit wisps of black gas.

The sound seemed to carry coercive power.

Everyone stopped their actions, preparing to retreat.

Su Muyao listened to her voice, her face changed, "It’s a female Beastman."

The Youluo Tree Beastman was currently led by a female Beastman.

Moreover, this female Beastman gave an extremely strange feeling, making Su Muyao uncomfortable, even from afar.

"This person is not right."

"Can’t let them go back."

Su Muyao vaguely felt a breakthrough could be found from this person.

Mei Qingchen focused and said, "I’ll go settle them."

Can’t let them return; since they’ve attacked, they must come without return.

"Together!"

Su Muyao felt that the female leader should not be easy to deal with.

That person had some life-saving methods.

Mei Qingchen didn’t dare let Su Muyao take risks.

Su Muyao said, "Then I’ll watch over you from behind."

"Alright."

Mei Qingchen’s entire superpower erupted, the person rushed like lightning, the sword in his hand quickly striking those Youluo Tree Beastmen.

Those Youluo Tree Beastmen were no match for Mei Qingchen; under Mei Qingchen’s speed, they hadn’t reacted before falling one by one.

The leading female Youluo Tree Beastman waved that long rod with many things hanging on it, making ding-dong sounds and emitting a bizarre black gas, like pollution.

But when the pollution met the golden light around Mei Qingchen, it was quickly purified.

"Ah..."

It seemed something made a sharp sound.

The entire arm of the female seemed corroded, revealing bone.

"You... how could it be, Purification Power."

"How could there be Purification Power."

Her eyes widened with disbelief at what she saw.

Moreover, only Purification Power could cause such harm to her.

She gritted her teeth and quickly tried to escape.

Mei Qingchen’s sword was infused with golden light, slashing towards her with great speed.

But she used some Secret Technique and suddenly disappeared from the original spot.

The only thing left in place was the rod-like weapon.

But behind, Su Muyao was always observing, and when she used the Secret Technique to flee, the Green Lotus Sword in her hand had already been unleashed.

Countless Green Lotus Sword lights locked from all directions, piercing her.

Locking precisely her escaping direction.

"Ah..."

The female was directly pierced by the sword lights, "Puff..."

She spat a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

But Su Muyao left her with one breath.

Mei Qingchen quickly restrained the person.

Su Muyao appeared before the female, using her sword to reveal a strange black pattern on her arm.

Like an eerie totem.

"What is this?"

The pattern made Su Muyao feel it was related to demon beasts.

The Youluo Tree female sneered, "You are unqualified to know this."

Even though restrained, she used a provocative gaze to look at Su Muyao.

The eyes were fierce.

At this moment, Mo Shan also came; he exclaimed, "Back then, when the Flower Clan Great Fate Master executed those clansmen, they had such totem patterns."

Su Muyao said, "It looks like you’re a puppet controlled by demon beasts, working for them outside."

While speaking, Su Muyao closely watched this female’s expression.

She noticed her expression changed slightly, seemed incredulous.

Yet she tried to make her expression appear normal.

But Su Muyao had already determined her guess was correct.

"Even if you don’t want to say, it’s useless; we already know what we need to know."

"What are you doing for the demon beasts?"

The Youluo Tree female raised her head, with disdainful eyes said, "You won’t know."

Saying so, she quickly activated her body’s Restriction, about to self-destruct.

But at this time, Su Muyao moved her finger, a force directly enveloped her.

From the beginning, she prevented her self-destruction.

So she used some talismanic power to suppress her Restriction.

"Puff..."

Due to the Restriction being forcibly suppressed, the Youluo Tree female’s body couldn’t bear it; ice and fire seemed to clash inside her, she spat blood again.

"Speak up, it’s not so easy if you want to self-destruct."

At the same time, Su Muyao stuffed an elixir into her mouth.

The Youluo Tree female’s body ached, cold sweat emerged all over, trembling, she had to open her mouth and said, "Of course, it’s because there’s something critically important to the master here."

"What is it?"

The Youluo Tree female’s head buzzed at this time, seemingly lost rationality, instinctively said, "It’s to find the remnants of Heavenly Dao’s power, replicate the talis...man... array...ah..."

She was about to speak but only stammered a few words before her body self-destructed.

Mei Qingchen immediately protected Su Muyao.

Mo Shan was shocked, "That’s a demon beast; indeed ruthless, but why could she be loyal to demon beasts?"

Su Muyao said, "Mo Shan, did you really fall into here through a crack?"

Mo Shan nodded, "Yes, that’s right."

"Did you come here together with the Youluo Tree Beastmen?"

Mo Shan shook his head, "No, we saw the Youluo Tree Beastmen three years after we arrived."

"We had grievances, so we fought when meeting; they had many tricks, more powerful than us."

"Thankfully, we occupied this area, they were blocked by the force here, unable to get close, so the clan was somewhat safe."

Mo Shan talked about these things and suddenly seemed to remember something, "Oh, right, back then, it was this female holding this thing and swinging it around, searching our location."

"It seems there is something like a Compass."
