Inside the small alley.
Space inverted.
The rustling sound of stretching branches and leaves echoed in Su Ye and He Muyun's ears.
Jet-black branches and vines grew out from Zhong Qi's residence, snaking past the wooden door and spreading outward to cover the alley's walls and ground.
And within the gloomy doorway, gnarled branches twisted downward, forming a staircase that seemed to lead straight to the center of the earth.
A bizarre aura—warped, withered, yet brimming with life—wafted out from it.
"This is..." Su Ye's eyes narrowed.
Just then, a vicious glint appeared in He Muyun's eyes.
Without hesitation, she summoned her Escape Light and charged down the staircase!
"Hmm...?" Su Ye was taken aback for a moment.
Due to the influence of the 'Soul-Stealing Demon Charm', he could faintly sense He Muyun's state of mind.
Of course, it wasn't mind-reading; he could only get a slight sense of her emotions.
