After some time, Necro allowed Bai Ning to leave, requesting only that she keep his existence a secret.
If she happened to break this promise, then… well, let's just say he'd ensure she regretted it.
Bai Ning understood the threat to her life more than anyone, and not once had she considered betraying the Lord Tree. Making sure she stayed alive was far more important than whatever small benefits she might acquire by revealing the existence of a small, terrifying tree living in the Sect Danger Zone known as Devastation Woods.
Once alone, Necro's colorful leaves swayed in the wind, his thoughts swirling.
'Although I couldn't get any information related to Yi Yu this time, there will always be more opportunities…'
In the meantime, he had to continue growing stronger—strong enough to surpass the strength of the Half-step Qi Condensation Realm Cultivator that now lorded over the Greenflame Sect.
Mo Fuchan.
