Bai Shu's branches shook wildly as a flurry of leaves fell. The dense leaves spiraled quickly in the air, instantly forming a wall of leaves that enshrouded Bai Shu's entire body.
Not only had it uprooted itself, but it also conjured leaves to weave a shield. Even Ning Daoran, however foolish he might have been, certainly understood what this Demon Tree intended—it planned to escape!
