Mu Qianning was a bit puzzled. Before she could speak, Yu Qishui had already laughed and said:

"This is Mu Qianning, the Saintess of my Lihuo Sect. Her cultivation is meager, I hope the Princess won't laugh."

He paused for a moment, then said: "As for Qianning's master, that's not convenient to elaborate on. I ask the Princess to forgive me."

Strictly speaking, Mu Qianning's master was Wei Yushan, but her entire cultivation had come from Senior Li's grace. Since Senior Li had never said he was taking Qianning as a disciple, he naturally dared not overstep.

Huo Ling'er heard this, and a flicker of complexity passed through her beautiful eyes.

This was still called meager cultivation?

Wasn't this just too infuriating?

She was, after all, the princess of the Fire Kingdom, raised from childhood with unlimited cultivation resources, having everything she wanted, with ample pills and spiritual essences, and her teachers were all uniformly at the Cave Void Level!

She herself had only reached the Nascent Soul Eighth Heaven realm, which was absolutely at the forefront of her peers in the entire Fire Kingdom. Yet here, in this southern border region, there was actually a genius stronger than her, almost about to break into Divine Separation?

She was crushed. She was genuinely crushed.

This was absolutely worthy of being called the most supreme genius of the Fire Kingdom.

At the same time, a thought stirred in her heart.

Just now, Yu Qishui had said that Mu Qianning's master was not convenient to mention?

If her master was anyone present, what was there to hide? Could it be that behind the Lihuo Sect, there was a powerful existence?

This, perhaps, was the real reason the Lihuo Sect dared to stand up to Lie Huo Mountain?

She vaguely felt she had grasped something.

"Princess, please, please come to the main hall!"

Wei Yushan extended his hand.

Soon, in the main hall.

Yu Qishui, Wei Yushan, and the others sat opposite Huo Ling'er.

"May I ask what brings the Princess from afar?"

Wei Yushan inquired.

Huo Ling'er, however, said: "Before I speak of that, I want to ask, is there an extraordinary figure behind your sect?"

Hearing this, Yu Qishui, Wei Yushan, and the others all tensed slightly.

This Fire Kingdom princess was very clever.

"Though your royal family is formidable, you're merely an Extraordinary Force. In Senior Li's chess game, you're probably just a pawn!"

That was what they were all thinking inside.

Wei Yushan said calmly: "What connection does that have with the Princess's purpose here?"

Hmph, wanting to inquire about Senior Li, even the royal family might not be qualified.

Huo Ling'er smiled faintly and said: "To be honest with you all, this matter in the Southern Fire Kingdom is extremely significant and far-reaching!"

"The Lie Huo Mountain you face is beyond ordinary reasoning. If the person behind you isn't strong enough, then there's no point in us cooperating."

She was very confident!

The Fire Kingdom Royal Family, as an Extraordinary Force with a Mahayana Stage powerhouse, even if the Lihuo Sect was approaching Sun Level Force status, it meant nothing to them!

Wei Yushan and the others tensed again.

"Master, what do you think?"

He asked Yu Qishui through divine sense.

Yu Qishui thought for a moment and said: "From the looks of it, Senior Li's chess game is probably very large. More and more people are getting involved."

"Senior Li is what kind of person? If we did something wrong, he would have given us a sign long ago. Since he hasn't given any instructions now, it precisely means that everything we do is still within Senior Li's calculations."

"Then, we'll just go with the flow."

Wei Yushan nodded, then looked at Huo Ling'er and said: "Princess, you can rest assured on this point."

"That senior is more than capable of handling everything!"

Seeing Wei Yushan so confident, Huo Ling'er revealed a beautiful smile and said leisurely: "Even in the face of an Evil God, he can handle it?"

Evil God!

As soon as these two words were spoken, the Lihuo Sect members suddenly changed color!

Evil God—these two words had a special meaning in the Profound Heaven Realm.

When a cultivator takes the final step beyond the Body Integration Realm, they touch upon the legendary Immortal Realm!

But it was a perilous gamble.

Among them, many invincible figures had one foot in the immortal domain, yet couldn't comprehend the true meaning of immortality, and were instead devoured by their inner demons!

Such beings generally became Evil Gods.

Because he had already touched the Immortal Dao, his power was terrifying, surpassing even the Supreme level.

Yet, he had also lost all humanity, even transforming into a mad, twisted monster.

The Evil God was synonymous with extreme danger.

Once the Evil God appeared in the world, the entire Profound Heaven Realm would often be thrown into a massive upheaval—living beings reduced to ashes, great cultivators spilling blood, and even triggering a Supreme War!

"It actually... involves the Evil God..."

Yu Qishui was stunned. He murmured, "No wonder. A figure as extraordinary as Senior Li—what could be worthy of his intervention if not something of this magnitude?"

"This game of chess actually has an Evil God-level existence involved. Senior Li's scheme is far too grand, isn't it? This is practically a Supreme Game!"

Wei Yushan also murmured, "Perhaps the reason Senior Li set up this game was to avert a great calamity for the common people?"

Mu Qianning was momentarily taken aback, but then a resolute look appeared in her eyes.

She believed that even if it were the Evil God, with Senior Li around, he definitely wouldn't be able to stir up any trouble.

After a long while, Yu Qishui and the others gradually calmed down.

"Though the Evil God is fearsome, you can rest assured about that existence's strength, Princess!"

Wei Yushan finally spoke to Huo Ling'er.

Huo Ling'er couldn't help but feel surprised.

Even the Evil God—could this small Lihuo Sect regard it so lightly?

Did that mean that behind the Lihuo Sect stood a Supreme-level figure?

She knew that the Evil God was formed when a Supreme failed in the final step of their path. For someone to speak such words, they had to be at least a Supreme, and a standout among Supremes at that!

But in the entire Southern Domain of the Profound Heaven Realm, Supreme-level forces could be counted on one hand!

Living Supremes existed only in legends, just two or three of them.

Could one of them be backing the Lihuo Sect?

Unimaginable!

"Alright, since you all have this confidence, then I might as well tell you another piece of news."

Huo Ling'er continued, "When the Evil God wants to descend upon a certain place, the first thing he does is slaughter all living beings in that place!"

"Because the Evil God has already touched the Immortal Dao and will be detected by this world. Only by destroying all life and creating a Blood Domain can the Evil God arrive."

"According to the information we've received, that Evil God is very likely to descend upon this domain in the near future!"

Yu Qishui and the others were all greatly alarmed.

This meant that in the coming days, the Southern Fire Kingdom, and even the entire Fire Kingdom... would be destroyed?

"If Senior Li's game of chess truly is to await the Evil God's descent, then this news is very important to him as well."

Wei Yushan said to Yu Qishui.

Yu Qishui nodded. "This matter is of great importance. It's no longer something we can involve ourselves in. What we need to do is tell Senior Li this news!"

Huo Ling'er's heart stirred. So that existence's surname was Li? In the Southern Domain of the Profound Heaven Realm, which Supreme had the surname Li?

She stood up and said, "May I go with you to pay respects to this senior? Perhaps I can provide him with valuable information!"

Her curiosity about that existence was growing stronger and stronger!

Yu Qishui thought for a moment, then said, "Alright!"
