It’s not possible to choose to first possess a bird, then fly to the Human City and possess a human.

If he really did this, he would end up becoming mentally ill.

"Lu Lin, I don’t have that thought, I am now still at a stage of symbiosis with the ancient tree."

"Even if you want to take me back to the Demon Slaying Sect, it’s impossible now."

"In the future, I will be alone here for the rest of my life. Can you spare me a way out? I promise, I will absolutely never plot against General Mountain again."

Hao Datong quickly spoke well of Lu Lin, trying to persuade him to let him off.

If Lu Lin didn’t have such ability, Hao Datong wouldn’t even care.

But now, under the low eaves, one has to bow their head. Having mingled at General Mountain and the Demon Slaying Sect for so long, Hao Datong naturally understands this.

As for the future, we’ll talk about it when the time comes.

If he really ends up trapped here for life, then saying anything would be useless.

"Oh, you’re still struggling for control with the ancient tree’s will. Do you want me to help you devour the ancient tree’s consciousness?"

"No, no, no need, just now while speaking with you, I had already completely erased the other side’s will."

Hao Datong was nearly scared to death. Just now, he simply wanted Lu Lin to have some compassion for him, so he pretended to say this, hoping to appear more tragic, but didn’t expect Lu Lin would actually offer to help.

Even if there is still some ancient tree consciousness left, Hao Datong wouldn’t dare let Lu Lin help!

"Oh, then forget it."

"However, I promised Elder Cheng Yu that I’d definitely capture you this time. If I can’t complete this mission, you surely don’t want to see me being punished by the Elder, right?"

"How about I come up with a plan to take you back with me?"

"You, what plan do you have?"

Hao Datong tentatively asked.

A hint of hope was also in his heart.

If he could return to the human world, then he would have hope.

At that time, he could possess a random human, and with his many years of cultivation experience, he might soon become a High-level Cultivator. Claiming the title of Star Emperor might be difficult, but Star Emperor and Star King should be achievable.

"Move your Spirit and Soul into this tree branch, and I’ll take you back."

"Of course, to prevent you from deceiving me, I will crush and absorb all the will consciousness within this ancient tree, take all the Soul-dripping Tree Sap, uproot the ancient tree, and burn it to ashes."

"Don’t worry too much. I’m naturally cautious, having suffered from being careless before, so I hope you understand."

Damn!

Hao Datong wailed in his heart. How is this cautious, clearly it’s overcautious, right?

Taking away his Spirit and Soul, fearing Hao Datong might have a backup plan, crush and absorb all will consciousness within the ancient tree and then uproot the ancient tree and burn it to ashes, this is truly ruthless, cutting off all hope without leaving any chance!

Hao Datong thought for a moment, if he didn’t go back with Lu Lin, under the evil soul absorption secret art here, he definitely couldn’t hold on for long.

But if he returns without any backup plan, letting Lu Lin, Cheng Yu, Li Xuanjin, and others deal with him, he wouldn’t be willing.

How can he find a suitable way?

While answering Lu Lin’s questions, Hao Datong kept thinking of solutions.

Got it!

The Soul-droplet Ancient Tree has extensive underground roots, with the furthest root even stretching thousands of kilometers away. No matter how strong Lu Lin is, it’s impossible for him to carefully search every inch of land underground, right?
