Nightmares

The Devourer stood as beautiful as before with its branches covering the whole Imperial Palace. The tranquility it provided was unmatched, as even Qing Zhiyan and Li Xiaojing were affected by it.

Shen Yu snorted and dispelled the Soul based affects of the Devourer. Although it was sleeping, it had already spread its influence far accross the Empire.

The subtle manipulation it did was very dangerous, especially since people wouldn't even realise they were being manupliated.

They would offer their lives to the Devourer with their own will.

With a sigh, Shen Yu said.

"This is the reason that bastard was behaving so strangely."

Li Xiaojing frowned and asked.

"But what could this Great Tree do? I don't even sense any sentience from it so it surely isn't any Spritual Creature."

Shen Yu chuckled.
