Chapter 148

Especially Li Yang, whose Spirit Sea had turned completely dark. Fortunately, Lianxin appeared in time to clear away the darkness and restore Li Yang's Spirit Sea to its original state.

Marquis of Wind Pavilion quickly asked, "Li Yang, are you alright?"

Li Yang had already broken free from Wang Gexiao's Spirit Sea. She only felt a buzzing in her head, and the pain was as if someone had split her skull open.

Li Yaowan quickly stepped forward and fed her several pills.

The power of the elixir spread through Li Yang's Spirit Sea, relieving his pain.

Marquis of Wind Pavilion also stepped forward and said, "She stared directly at Divine Exalt Daowu..."

Li Yaowan looked at Li Yang anxiously and asked, "How are you feeling? Tell me in detail where you feel uncomfortable, and I'll prepare Spirit Stabilizing Pill for you!"

Li Yang shook her head and said, "It's alright, Lianxin is here, he helped me purify the pollution."

Li Yaowan Marquis of Wind Pavilion finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Gexiao did not witness the tragedy at the Greedy Wolf Transit Point. After sensing the arrival of Divine Exalt Daowu, he immediately used the Teleportation Star Curse to escape from the Greedy Wolf Transit Point.

If it had been any later, he would have died on the spot.

After the mental probing ended, Wang Gexiao indeed attracted Divine Descent, Backstab by the Nature Department!

Several Ninth-Grade Supreme beings looked extremely grim, especially Wang Tiankang.

Even though Wang Tiankang had explored Wang Gexiao's Spirit Sea and knew that he was the one who Backstab, and understood his motives, he still found it hard to believe.

How so?

How could Wang Gexiao have such a crazy idea!

What surprised the Ninth-Grade Supreme present even more was that the Nature Department actually possessed the secret to advancing to the Divine Venerable Realm.

Through this mental probing, they all learned the secret:

Unify the Huaxia Realm Domain and obtain the title of Divine Emperor, and you will be able to ascend to the Divine Venerable Realm.

The question is, if it were really that simple, why would the Nature Department be holding back?

Why has the Master of the Nature Department Pavilion consistently refused to ascend to the Divine Venerable Realm?

The Master of the Nature Department Pavilion explained to Wang Gexiao that this would affect the fortune of Huaxia, and that reaching the Divine Venerable Realm in this way would be a curse rather than a blessing for Huaxia.

However, Wang Gexiao wouldn't listen, stubbornly insisting that Huaxia must have a Divine Venerable Realm.

To be honest, what the Nature Department Pavilion Master said seemed somewhat ethereal to the Ninth-Grade Supreme before him.

But they were, after all, Ninth-Grade Supreme, unlike Wang Gexiao.

Their understanding of Heavenly Fortune far surpasses that of Wang Gexiao.

Doing something against the will of Heaven comes at a great cost.

Wang Gexiao underestimated the weight of the words spoken by the Master of the Nature Department, and coupled with his own dissatisfaction with the Heavenly Fortune, he fell into deep obsession.

However, what is currently troubling Marquis of Wind Pavilion is that if the secret of this promotion were to leak out, it would pose a huge threat to the Huaxia Heavenly Palace.

The Huaxia Heavenly Palace has dozens of Ninth-Grade Supreme; it's hard to guarantee that another Wang Gexiao won't emerge.

Just like Marquis of Mirror Bamboo, he may not have been unaware that ascending to the Divine Venerable Realm in this way would bring disaster, but he still couldn't resist such temptation!

Those who were able to advance all the way to the Ninth-Grade Supreme possessed a thirst for power that ordinary people could not even imagine.

If there's a chance to go even further, who could resist?

Marquis of Wind Pavilion closed his eyes briefly and said in a deep voice, "I ask that everyone join me in signing a pact of secrecy: the matter of advancing to the Divine Venerable Realm must not be divulged."

All of them knew the seriousness of the matter, and without any hesitation, they signed a pact of protection.

The five of them wouldn't reveal this to outsiders, but since they were all Ninth-Grade Supreme, it was inevitable that they would harbor thoughts of ascending to the Divine Venerable Realm.

This is something that cannot be prevented.

Marquis of Wind Pavilion eagerly hoped that Li Yang could bring more information about advancing to the Divine Venerable Realm at the Lost Space Society.

Even terrible intelligence is fine; at least it can deter these Ninth-Grade Supreme are in the know, preventing them from having delusions like Wang Gexiao.

Wang Tiankang's face was pale, his lips trembling. He couldn't care less about the secret of advancing to the Divine Venerable Realm; his mind was filled with only one thought, "The Wang Family is finished, completely finished."

Wang Gexiao deserves to be torn to pieces.

However, most of the Wang Family were unaware of the situation, and now they were being implicated by this scoundrel, not only losing face but also suffering a significant loss of resources!

Li Yang glanced at Wang Tiankang, and a thought struck her.

She initiated a request for Spirit Connection with the Marquis of Wind Pavilion and Li Yaowan.

Marquis of Wind Pavilion connected with her. "Say it, they can't sense it."

After thinking for a moment, Li Yang calmly said, "Marquis, Teacher Li, I have an idea, but I'm not sure if it's appropriate. I'd like to hear your opinions."

"You say."

"The Wang Family has complex factions; apart from Wang Gexiao and Marquis of Mirror Bamboo's lineage, the others are not involved..."

After she shared her thoughts, both Marquis of Wind Pavilion and Li Yaowan were taken aback.

They were amazed by Li Yang's quick thinking, but even more amazed by her magnanimity.

Marquis of Wind Pavilion let out a soft sigh and said, "Your idea is excellent. If we can take advantage of this opportunity to win over the Wang Family, it will be a great help to the Nature Pavilion."

Having gained the approval of the Marquis of Wind Pavilion and Li Yaowan, Li Yang detached from her Spirit Sea and said, "Wang Gexiao has been possessed by the Flower of Evil."

Upon hearing this, all the Ninth-Grade Supreme present were taken aback and looked up at her.

Li Yang said, "Wang Gexiao has been possessed by the Flower of Evil; otherwise, he wouldn't have done something so heinous."

Everyone present was shrewd and instantly understood what Li Yang meant.

Wang Tiankang, in particular, looked at Li Yang with red-rimmed eyes. His lips trembled, and his voice choked as he stammered, "You... you..."

Li Yang looked at Wang Tiankang and said, "Only in this way can we do what is best for Huaxia, but Wang Gexiao and the Marquis of Mirror Bamboo lineage must be completely eliminated."

Wang Tiankang exclaimed excitedly, "I understand! I will investigate thoroughly and leave no one alive!"

Marquis of Wind Pavilion sighed softly and said to Wang Tiankang, "Since Li Yang has said so, then so be it."

Wang Tiankang was deeply moved and even bowed deeply to Li Yang.

Has Wang Gexiao been corrupted by the Flower of Evil?

No.

It is possible to portray Wang Gexiao as having been possessed by the Flower of Evil, thus preserving the Wang Family as much as possible.

It wasn't that Li Yang was soft-hearted, but rather that she felt it was unnecessary.

The Wang Family is deeply entrenched, with more than just Marquis of Mirror Bamboo and Wang Gexiao. If she insists on suppressing the Wang Family, it will only provoke a desperate counterattack from them.

The psychological investigation also revealed that most of the Wang Family members were innocent in the Greedy Wolf Incident; they were completely unaware of the situation.

After all, there are many factions within the Wang Family, and Wang Gexiao couldn't tell too many people what he was doing; only his confidants were involved.

Li Yang said that Wang Gexiao was possessed by the Flower of Evil, which both preserved the other branches of the Wang Family and prevented the creation of enemies for the Nature Department.

Furthermore, if Wang Ruika's great-grandfather were to inherit the position of head of the Wang Family, the Wang Family could become one of the forces that could help the Nature Department.

Furthermore, even if Wang Gexiao was possessed by the Flower of Evil, it was because he himself harbored evil thoughts that he was possessed. These are things that cannot be whitewashed. In addition, the fact that Marquis of Mirror Bamboo aided and abetted the evil deeds is a fatal stain on the Wang Family.

The Wang Family should stop dreaming of having another member of the Twelve Marquises of the Star Nexus for now.

Without the authority of the Twelve Marquises of the Star Nexus, if they still want to establish themselves in the Huaxia Heavenly Palace, they can only choose to rely on the Nature Pavilion.

Li Yang then extended an olive branch to them at just the right time.

Even though Wang Tiankang knew about Li Yang's plans, he felt only gratitude.

Regardless, Li Yang saved the Wang Family!

Li Yang then said to the Marquis of Wind Pavilion, "Marquis, I have seen the spores of the Flower of Evil. Please take a look in my Spirit Sea."

Marquis of Wind Pavilion: "!"

She took a light breath and said, "Okay, I'll take a look."

She could look directly at the spores of the Flower of Evil without fear of being contaminated by them.

Just the thought that Li Yang, a mere Fifth Grade Realm cultivator, had actually looked directly at her made her heart pound with fear.

It must be because of the Lianxin heart; otherwise, Li Yang would have long since become a vessel for the flower of Flower of Evil.

The Flower of Evil originates from the Nightmare Domain.

It is as famous as the lotus seeds of the Lotus Domain, and is a first-class Innate Sacred Object in the Astral Realm.

However, the former is extremely evil. Once one is tainted by it, even if one's cultivation level increases dramatically, one will eventually become food for the flower of Flower of Evil.

The lotus seeds of the Lianxin are truly Innate Sacred Object, and one of the sacred objects that can safely advance Ninth-Grade Supreme.

With the images in Li Yang's Spirit Sea as a reference, and considering the status of the five Ninth-Grade Supreme present, it was easy to simulate.

Moreover, describing Wang Gexiao as being possessed by the Flower of Evil would be the most painful and desperate thing for him.

He wasn't afraid of death; what he wanted was glory after death.

Even though he Backstab the Nature Department, in his logic, he did it for the Wang Family and for Huaxia.

But if he is said to be manipulated by the Flower of Evil, then he is just a puppet, a dirty and ugly vessel.

Upon hearing Li Yang's words, Wang Gexiao completely broke down. "No! I wasn't corrupted by the Flower of Evil, everything I did was for..."

With a loud thud, Wang Tiankang delivered a powerful punch to him.

Chapter 148

Wang Tiankang was furious.

He participated in the mental investigation and saw the whole story, so he naturally knew what Wang Gexiao had done.

Even during the mental investigation, Wang Gexiao kept brainwashing himself. "I'm doing this for the Wang Family, I'm doing this for Huaxia!"

However, of all the things he did, which benefited the Wang Family, and which Huaxia?

Wang Gexiao is nothing more than a madman who uses the banner of justice to satisfy his own selfish desires!

Does he really care about the Wang Family's enduring legacy?

Does he truly care about the supreme future of the Huaxia Heavenly Palace?

No!

What Wang Gexiao wants is for the Wang Family to be honored because of him!

What he wants is for the Huaxia Heavenly Palace to become powerful because of him!

Only after Li Yang revealed that Wang Gexiao had been possessed by the Flower of Evil did Wang Gexiao truly expose himself.

This method could clearly save the Wang Family, but Wang Gexiao was extremely resistant to it.

Why did he resist?

Because he doesn't care about the real Wang Family!

All he cared about was the Wang Family, whose glory he brought!
