The Ent's lair.
This place is dark and situated deep underground, so much so that even Golden Immortals will face challenges entering here.
"Master, there are three tender-skinned Immortals roasting meat on our territory."
A small Ent rushed into the eerie palace, reporting the situation outside.
"Oh? Someone dared enter my domain? Do they not know this is Elder Huai's territory?" A hoarse, aged voice echoed through the air. Hidden behind a layer of crimson gauze, Elder Huai's true visage remained indiscernible.
This Elder Huai was a demon of considerable origin.
He was once nothing but a broken, dried branch—an existence that by all accounts should never have transformed into an Ent.
However, the events that transpired in a certain temple many millennia ago completely changed Elder Huai's destiny.
A monk, holding the broken branch, inscribed the Demon Crossing Scripture onto it.
