Chapter 110 (continued)
Maybe... probably both!

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Life Domain...
Jiang Yuqing have had a truly complicated time these past few days.
He might seem miserable, but he slept in a large, soft, white bed, and people brought him food and drink.
To say he's not miserable is an exaggeration; he was a perfectly normal person, but he was treated like a puppy.
A thin steel cable was tied to his wrist, which he couldn't break no matter how hard he tried. The cable was also positioned just right, preventing him from going anywhere except this house.
The house was decorated with exceptional skill, striving to create a warm and soft atmosphere in this cold, steel jungle.
Not to mention the fluffy bed, even the floor was covered with long-haired carpets, so soft that you could walk barefoot on them without feeling any discomfort.
Although the house was made of steel, it was covered with thick, soft cushions, even on the windowsills.
The iron wardrobe was filled with all sorts of gorgeous clothes.
Jiang Yuqing had no interest in these things, but were forced to change their outfits every day.
The aesthetics of clothing outweigh its practicality.
It looks beautiful, but it's also really in the way.
For example, Jiang Yuqing wished he could roll up his sleeves three hundred times a day because they were dragging on the ground.
And this long hem of his dress—he always trips over it when he gets out of bed.
His miserable state would elicit amused chuckles from the female demon.
As soon as Jiang Yuqing saw the female demon, they immediately launched an attack on her.
His Qiankun Bag was not confiscated, and everything inside was still there.
At first, Jiang Yuqing didn't dare, but then he realized what was going on.
Since this female demon won't kill him anyway, he might as well find an opportunity to kill her!
The female demon was afraid to Death Domain, but he wasn't.
Jiang Qingqing couldn't wait to go to the Death Domain so she could meet up with Li Yang.
However, Jiang Yuqing's rudimentary skills were simply not up to par. Every time he lunged at her menacingly, the female demon would simply lift a finger and freeze him in place.
She couldn't win in a fight, so Jiang Yuqing started poisoning her again.
After all, he was an alchemist; concocting some poisons was a piece of cake for him.
However, the female demon was immune to all poisons and ate his poison like candy.
Jiang Yuqing was so angry that her liver ached, and she was extremely distressed about the materials and Shock Points she had lost.
Faced with his relentless "assassination," Chen Ri was quite curious. She tilted her head and asked him, "Even if you kill me, what then? You'll fall into the Death Domain."
Jiang Yuqing: "I'd rather Death Domain!"
Chen Ri said, "Aren't you doing well now? You have no worries about food or clothing, and this house has everything you need."
Jiang Yuqing exploded. "This is bad! Absolutely bad! Give me liberty or give me death!"
Chen Ri's smile faded, and he said calmly, "You Star Wielders are truly amusing. You proclaim 'Give me liberty or give me death,' yet you constantly deprive others of their freedom."
Jiang Yuqing said, "I did not deprive anyone of their freedom."
Chen Ri stared intently at him. "Then what are you doing here at the Sword Tomb? Aren't you looking for Star Weapon? Aren't you Star Wielders constantly depriving Star Weapon of their freedom?"
Jiang Yuqing: "..."
This was an angle he had never considered, but the problem was... his purpose in coming to the Sword Tomb was not to find Star Weapon at all!
Ahem, if he could find Star Weapon along the way, he wouldn't mind...
Chen Ri continued, "Since ancient times, it has always Star Wielders who subdue the Star Weapon, but I have been very curious since the day I was born: why is it you who subdue us? Why can't it be the Star Weapon who subdue the Star Wielders!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuqing felt a chill run down her spine.
He now understood why all the Star Wielders had been captured, and why there were various price tags outside those cages.
Chen Ri said, "Tomorrow I will hold an auction where all Star Wielders will be auctioned off, and the buyer will be the Masterless Sword of the Life Domain!"
Jiang Yuqing was shocked.
Chen Ri looked at him again, his voice lowered, warm yet tinged with coldness, and said, "I will take you to the auction to set an example for them, to teach them how to brand the Star Wielders with the Slave Mark."
Her cold fingers rose and landed on Jiang Yuqing's fair neck.
A chill ran down Jiang Yuqing's spine. Although he didn't know what Slave Mark was, he knew with his eyes closed that it was no good!
Death is not scary.
What's terrifying is being unable to live and unable to die!
Jiang Yuqing's mind was filled with thoughts of, "Save me, Sister Yang! This she-devil has gone mad, Sister Yang Sister Yang! Where have you gone?!"
Before he could even process the Shock Points, he'd already lost his freedom!
However, the auction did not take place as scheduled the following day.
Chen Ri came to see Jiang Yuqing and specifically told him, "Things aren't going well outside, the auction has been postponed for a few days."
Jiang Yuqing perked up their ears and asked, "What happened? Weren't all the Star Wielders arrested? Why is things still not peaceful?"
Chen Ri didn't hide anything from him, saying, "It's the Masterless Sword from the Death Domain! How dare they come to the Life Domain!"
The Masterless Sword of the Death Domain?
Wait, the Death Domain!
[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points increased by 300 points.]
Although it was just a guess, and just a fleeting thought, Jiang Yuqing felt that it must be Li Yang's doing, so he was already shocked.
Jiang Yuqing tried to keep her voice down and asked casually, "Doesn't the Death Domain have Reversal Formation Core? They just accidentally wandered into the Life Domain, right? What's the big deal?"
Chen Ri said, "You don't understand. The rule of the Sword Tomb is that those in the Life Domain will fall into the Death Domain due to killing, but those lowly people in the Death Domain have no right to Life Domain!"
Untouchables?
What does this title mean?
Jiang Yuqing became interested and asked, "So, the Masterless Sword of the Death Domain can't pass through the Reversal Formation Core?"
"Um."
"How did they get here?"
Jiang Yuqing asked this question, but in his heart he was becoming more and more certain that it must have been Li Yang who did it. As expected of his Sister Yang, she was so extraordinary when she made her move!
[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points increased by 500 points.]
Chen Ri did not answer the question.
Jiang Yuqing found it difficult to discern any emotion from her steely expression, but she could sense that her aura was colder than usual.
Chen Ri stood up and said, "After I've dealt with these lowly people, I'll take you to the auction."
Jiang Yuqing: "..." He didn't want to go, but he didn't dare to say it.
At this point, Jiang Yuqing dared not provoke the female demon.
Seeing that Li Yang was making a move, he didn't want to be separated from her by death.
With Chen Ri gone, Jiang Yuqing regained their fighting spirit.
However, no matter how many methods he tried, he could not escape this steel fortress!
Two more days passed, and the female demon still hadn't come to see him.
Jiang Yuqing were extremely anxious, not knowing what the situation was like outside.
The good thing is that the female devil is quite busy; it seems she won't have time to hold that damned auction.
Why hasn't Li Yang Life Domain yet?
Jiang Yuqing would check their communicators countless times every day, afraid of missing any messages from Li Yang.
That night, unable to escape, Jiang Yuqing didn't give up. Instead, after gaining new Shock Points, she continued researching a pill that could poison the female demon...
He was enthusiastically starting the furnace when his communicator suddenly flashed.
[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points increased by 1000 points.]
Jiang Yuqing looked around, even using his spiritual power, and only after confirming that he didn't sense anyone else's presence did he cautiously take out his communicator.
The communicator facilitates communication through mental energy, and Jiang Yuqing finally heard Li Yang's voice.
"Where?" Li Yang asked him.
Jiang Yuqing choked up. "The Golden House."
Li Yang: "?"
Jiang Yuqing burst into tears. "I've been kept as a mistress!"
[Shock Points increased by 1 point from Li Yang.]
[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points increased by 1000 points.]
Heavens above, earth below.
Jiang Yuqing looked at the Shock Points Li Yang had given him, his mind filled with disbelief.
He's already been kept as a mistress, and this guy is only slightly Shock Points.
Is she even human?!
"What's going on?" Li Yang didn't waste time with him and quickly asked, "I just came out of the Death Domain and don't know anything about the Life Domain. Tell me what happened."
Jiang Yuqing tearfully recounted their ordeal.
Even with Li Yang's wildly imaginative mind, she was utterly stunned.
What is all this nonsense?!
Have all the Star Wielders been captured?
And it's about to be bought by the Masterless Sword at the auction?
The art style of this Life Domain is even more unique than that of the Death Domain!
Li Yang told Qingchen all this, and Qingchen was completely stunned.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally managed to ask, "Was your friend captured by the Life Domain Overlord?"
Thinking of Jiang Yuqing's miserable state, Li Yang felt it necessary to help him earn Shock Points, so she truthfully said, "To be precise, he's being kept as a mistress."
Qingchen: "..."
[Shock Points from Li Qingchen increased by 20 points.]
Jiang Yuqing paused for a moment when he saw the name, but he quickly realized what it meant.
Li Yang has another dog!
No wonder they weren't in a hurry to save him!
Who is Li Qingchen?
These names must be Huaxia, but how could there be other Huaxia people besides them in this Sword Tomb?
Just as Jiang Yuqing was about to ask, Li Yang spoke up, giving a general overview of her situation.
She recounted how, after falling into the Death Domain, she met Qingchen, a Huaxia alchemist.
The two then joined forces in the Death Domain to interfere with the mech, teleporting it to the Life Domain in order to incite conflict between the two realms...
Jiang Yuqing listened, completely stunned.
He didn't care about the other dogs anymore, and blurted out, "What? Start something? Kill someone?"
My God!
[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points increased by 1000 points.]
Is Li Yang even targeting those at the Eighth Grade Realm?
