Feigning unconsciousness

"Brother Qing, what's next? Now that we've taken all the opportunities, shouldn't we wake them up?"

Xiao Yan looked at the still unconscious crowd in this space and asked.

Li Changqing smiled mysteriously, "Pretend to faint."

Xiao Yan was taken aback, not understanding at first. "What do you mean?"

"Literally, they'll wake up soon." With that, Li Changqing found a place to lie down and pretended to faint as well.

Xiao Yan suddenly realized. "So that's what it means, Brother Qing, you're Lunar."

Even so, Xiao Yan still walked to Gu Xun Er's side and pretended to faint.

In order to avoid being noticed, Xiao Yan even suppressed his cultivation level back to that of Nine-Star Dou Zun.

As long as he pretends to faint, when everyone wakes up, they won't know that he has monopolized the opportunity of the Bodhi Ancient Tree, and he won't become the target of everyone's attacks and scramble for the Bodhi Seeds.

After a while, everyone gradually woke up, clutching their foreheads.

As soon as Fire Phoenix woke up, she immediately got up and looked around. Finding that everyone else was still unconscious, she smiled confidently.

"Since I was the first to awaken, then the opportunity of the Bodhi Ancient Tree should belong to my Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan."

Immediately afterwards, Fire Phoenix looked at Li Changqing with icy eyes, and just as she raised her hand, intending to kill Li Changqing directly.

But after thinking it over, he still didn't make a move. Jiufeng's poison hadn't been cured yet, so he couldn't kill her now.

Sensing that Fire Phoenix wanted to kill him, Li Changqing smiled inwardly, then pretended to wake up and stared intently at Fire Phoenix's enormous breasts.

Li Changqing smiled, "Senior Fire Phoenix, you seem to be interested in me too. That's perfect, since we're mutually attracted, let's find a place for a good fight?"

Noticing that the others had woken up, Fire Phoenix snorted coldly and looked away.

But at that moment, the entire space suddenly began to shake.

Someone exclaimed in alarm, "This is... a sign that the entire space is about to completely shatter!"

According to Ancient Texts records, once the space around the Bodhi Ancient Tree begins to crack, it means that the time for the Bodhi Ancient Tree to appear in the world has come, and it will disappear, only to reappear a thousand years later.

"What! How long were we unconscious? We've only just woken up, and this space is already about to shatter?"

Some people kept looking around, trying to find even a single Bodhi Seed, but they found nothing. They cried out in frustration:

"Where exactly lies the Bodhi Seed, and the destiny of the Bodhi Ancient Tree?"

"I went through so much trouble to get here, but I got nothing. I'm not satisfied!"

Everyone looked resentful, but there was nothing they could do.

This space is about to shatter, and if we stay here any longer, no one knows what the consequences will be.

Only Xiao Yan secretly smiled, then quickly changed to a resentful expression and let out a long sigh:

"What a pity, we didn't even find a single Bodhi Seed on this trip. Let's hurry and leave before this space breaks apart."

With that, Xiao Yan led the group from the Gu Clan and the Starfall Pavilion away from this space.

The others felt a deep sense of regret but had no other recourse, and gradually left the area.

Li Changqing followed closely behind, beckoning Gu Yuena and the Amethyst Winged Lion King to leave.

The remaining Hun Yu and Fire Phoenix cursed their bad luck and then left with the Hun Clan and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan.

As everyone left the space, they all turned back to look at the tall, verdant tree.

The Bodhi Ancient Tree trembled violently, and then a circle of emerald green light spread out from the base of the tree.

The ground began to flow as if it had turned into liquid, and the Bodhi Ancient Tree above slowly sank into the ground along with the liquid.

After the Bodhi Ancient Tree completely sank into the ground, the group of powerful figures sighed and left one after another.

Hun Yu glanced at Li Changqing and ordered, "Let's go."

Li Changqing originally intended to take Gu Yuena and the Amethyst Winged Lion King back to the Soul World with the Hun Yu, but was stopped by the Fire Phoenix.

Fire Phoenix blocked Li Changqing's path and said sternly, "Bring me the antidote."

"What antidote? I don't quite understand," Li Changqing said, pretending not to understand.

Fire Phoenix's face darkened. "It's the antidote for the Pill you forcibly fed to Jiufeng on the Ancient Domain Platform."

Li Changqing feigned sudden realization and laughed, "So that's what it is. But there's no antidote for that kind of Pill."

"I advise you not to play dumb. Quickly bring me the antidote. If anything happens to Jiufeng, the consequences will be far beyond what a Five-Turn Dou Zun you can bear. Even the Hun Clan cannot protect you."

Fire Phoenix's face showed anger, and Jiufeng also looked at Li Changqing with malice.

The other members of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan had already surrounded Li Changqing.

Li Changqing's expression remained relaxed as he looked at Jiufeng and continued with a smile, "Think back carefully, when I fed you that Pill, didn't it taste quite sweet?"

After hearing this, Jiufeng thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed sweet.

"That's right. After all, I didn't feed you poison, just a Sugar Pill. Where would Sugar Pill have an antidote?"

Jiufeng's face hardened as she glared at Li Changqing: "You dare to play tricks on us!"

Li Changqing shook his head. "You can't say that. When did I ever say I fed you poison?"

Jiufeng was speechless. Li Changqing had only said that it was a special Pill, but he hadn't said it was poison.

Li Changqing glanced in the direction the Hun Yu had flown off to. "They left so fast, without even waiting for me. Gentlemen, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, Li Changqing took Gu Yuena and the Amethyst Winged Lion King and flew away from the place.

Fire Phoenix did not stop Li Changqing.

Fire Phoenix knew perfectly well that with the speed Li Changqing had displayed, if he wanted to escape, Fire Phoenix wouldn't be able to stop him at all; probably only a true Dou Sheng could stop Li Changqing.

If Li Changqing could very well capture Jiufeng again to blackmail Fire Phoenix.

Watching Li Changqing fly away, Fire Phoenix smiled inwardly.

The Soul Imprint on her Ring of Holding had not been erased, and now, Li Changqing's location was clearly appearing in her mind.

Once we return to the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan and gather the other powerful members, we should be able to defeat Li Changqing based on the markings on his Soul Imprint.

"Let's go too, hurry back to our clan," Fire Phoenix instructed the rest of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan.

When Li Changqing arrived at the outer edge of the Ancient Desolate Domain, he found Xiao Yan and the others dividing the spoils. After confirming that there was no one else around, Li Changqing flew over with Gu Yuena and the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

Noticing someone approaching, Xiao Yan instinctively put away the Bodhi Seed. He only breathed a sigh of relief after realizing it was Li Changqing.

"Oh my god, it's you, Brother Qing! You scared me to death! I thought some other powerful figure had discovered us."

Apart from Xiao Yan and Gu Xun Er, Medusa, Gu Qingyang, and the others all looked at Li Changqing with wary eyes.
