Chapter 110: Chapter 110

Ji Hua was startled, reflexively waving his hands, "Not me! I didn’t dig up the ancestral grave!"

Digging up his own ancestors’ graves, he was afraid the ancestors would come find him for a chat about life in the middle of the night!

"Look at the soles of your own shoes." Instead of arguing with Ji Hua, Xia Mian calmly asked, "Take a look and see if there’s anything on them?"

Ji Hua set Mu Keying down, sat on a nearby large stone, and removed his shoes to check the soles.

With just one look, Ji Hua’s expression changed.

On the soles of his shoes, there was a giant skull mark.

The large eye sockets seemed to be grinning at him wickedly. Ji Hua stared at the skull, and his whole body was covered in goosebumps!

"Oh shit~~~~" Ji Hua was so frightened that his hand shook, and he flung the shoe away.

Xia Mian seemed to have predicted the result and showed an expression of "as expected."

"Miss Xia, what’s going on?!" Ji Hua was terrified, his face ashen. He had been calm enough lately, so why was he experiencing such bizarre matters?

"Mr. Ji’s body is somewhat special," Xia Mian said with a slight curl of her lips, glancing once more at the Ji Family’s ancestral graves, "easily controlled by unclean things..."

It was already nearing dusk, and the glow of the setting sun cast on the graves gave off a sense of the end drawing near!

Xia Mian turned her head to look at the right side of the mountain, where an enormous tree almost reached the sky, blocking a large portion of sunlight.

"That tree, cut it down," Xia Mian instructed, pointing at the tree with an indifferent tone.

But just as Xia Mian finished speaking, the tree shook as if blown by a strong wind, and the leaves rustled loudly.

The sound was even louder than the sound made by the phoenix tree she had encountered while at the Xia Family’s old house during Gu Xiang’s mirror-life illusion!

It was like venting its anger at her!

"Rustle rustle rustle~~~~"

The leaves rustled loudly, and a mountain gale suddenly rose.

The sky seemed to be covered by an invisible curtain.

Mu Keying was scared silly, climbing back onto her son’s back once more.

She should not have come to join in the fun!!!

Mu Keying wanted to cry, but her face betrayed her, she couldn’t shed tears.

"Mom, can you loosen your grip?" Ji Hua’s face was unpleasant, his voice somewhat strained.

Mu Keying not only didn’t let go, she grabbed even tighter.

Ji Hua felt like his own mother was about to choke him to death. His face flushed as he protested again, "Mom, if you don’t let go, you won’t have a son anymore!!!"

Mu Keying finally realized her arm was wrapped around Ji Hua’s neck, choking him to the point of suffocation...

Mu Keying hurriedly loosened her grip; she dared not step down, feeling this place was mysterious...

After today, she feared she’d never go to pay respects at the Ji Family’s ancestor tombs again, having a shadow cast over her.

"The mountain wood has become a spirit?" Xia Mian raised an eyebrow, "Oh, such a big aura!"

Xia Mian snorted, "How come you don’t see whose incense you received to develop your spirituality!"

The Ji Family’s ancestral graves occupied this geographical and impressive locale; the Ji Family was prosperous, and their reverence for the ancestors was especially devout, making the incense even more flourishing than other places.

Mountain flora, benefiting from nature’s spiritual energy and human incense, gradually developing spirituality isn’t impossible.

The great tree seemed to understand Xia Mian’s words, and not only did it not show any restraint, it became even more furious. With its branches constantly swaying, the wind grew stronger, gravel on the ground was instantly lifted into the air!

The sky turned dark in an instant, the Ji family members were blown by the wicked wind, unable to open their eyes, almost blown away to the sky.

Xia Mian squinted her eyes tight, a cold glint growing stronger, this spirit monster was showing off in front of her!

Xia Mian remained as stable as a mountain, her hands slowly forming a seal in front of her chest, "Gale Breaker!"

Xia Mian waved her hand, and an invisible energy wave swept toward the tree!

The shockwave heavily crashed onto the tree crown, creating a loud bang, followed by a crunch as the tree crown snapped!

The broken crown fell directly below the tree, green liquid slowly oozing from the break.

The tree was thoroughly infuriated by Xia Mian’s move, shaking violently, as its roots emerged from the ground, gradually forming the shape of two feet...

The Ji family members were completely petrified with fear.

Oh my, they had been subjected to so many years of formal education, being brainwashed to believe in science!!!

But now, science couldn’t explain this!!!

Lu Zechuan stood behind Xia Mian, looking at the tall and slender girl, like a mountain, shielding them from all attacks and harm. His jet-black eyes unconsciously squinted slightly.

He didn’t feeling of standing behind her, disliking it more and more!

As Lu Zechuan’s mind wavered, the giant tree’s roots had already fully dislodged from the soil.

The towering giant tree, with its powerful roots, once detached from the soil, left a deep pit over ten meters deep in the ground.

The Ji family members’ faces turned white.

Praying silently in their hearts for their ancestors’ blessing!

An aggressive face slowly emerged on the tree’s trunk, its eyes filled with murderous intent as it stared at Xia Mian, "Foolish humans!"

Xia Mian snorted, rolling her eyes, "That’s the line of a cannon fodder villain."

She’d watched quite a few movies before; every villain who uttered these words ended up dying terribly.

The giant tree had developed spirituality but hadn’t yet shaped into human form, though it certainly had a bad temper.

"Mere humans, daring to block my transformation?! Such impudence!" the giant tree uttered as it took large strides toward the crowd.

With each step, a deep pit formed on the ground.

The earth shook, stones crumbled and fell.

Xia Mian was somewhat annoyed; she had traveled this vast world for so many years, honing her skills, and truly, no one dared to be this presumptuous before her!

Xia Mian raised her hand, pointing with a false gesture to the giant tree, "Want to transform? In your next life!"

Flames flickered between Xia Mian’s fingers, appearing suddenly, startling the Ji family members.

How could there be fire on a person’s hand?

Wouldn’t her fingers be cooked through?

While the Ji family members were puzzled, the sparks on Xia Mian’s fingertips seemed to have eyes, flying straight toward the giant tree!

Originally pressing forward step by step, the giant tree, upon seeing the sparks approach, let out a horror-stricken scream just like a human!

"No~~~" Trees, turned spirits, feared fire sources most.

After all, no matter how much they cultivated, their main bodies were still just grass and wood.

And now, Xia Mian not only produced a fire source but unleashed Hellfire!!

With just a touch, it would immediately turn into charcoal!

The giant tree quivered, instantly getting terrified.

The once towering tree, under everyone’s noses, wobbled and trembled, finally shaking itself into a small sapling-like bare stick.

This... it’s very Xuanxue indeed.

If this scene hadn’t unfolded right before their eyes, the Ji family members would have thought it was magic.

"Spare me, master!" The tree demon, transformed into a sapling, continuously bowed to Xia Mian.

The previous arrogance and rampant attitude were nowhere to be seen.
