The High Priest's expression underwent a subtle change.
This woman, she had actually contemplated betraying civilization.
Moreover, as a high-ranking authority, a high-level warrior, she used her own soul to take over the Opium poppy tree.
...
The Opium poppy tree trembled, its branches spreading out and emanating a heaven-shaking murderous intent.
This was a full-strength Demon, an anomaly capable of contending with Ghosts.
...
The series of sudden changes was too much for Lu Yuan to take in, leaving him shocked and rooted to the spot.
Especially the last-minute take over, it was definitely premeditated and planned, not a spur-of-the-moment decision.
In other words, this couple did truly consider betraying civilization...
Of course, they only thought about it, without putting it into practice.
But in the end, by a strange twist of fate, they actually used it.
"No wonder..."
...
Because of the tremendous battle, the Illusion Realm abruptly came to an end here.
