Chapter 153

The Sand Fruit King, being quite perceptive, handed Li Yang a Qiankun bag filled with star cores. "I would appreciate it if the Bone Peach King could put in a good word for the Wise One. If it could be transferred to the Thirteenth Master's name, I would certainly offer more tribute to help the Wise One advance."

Li Yang accepted the Qiankun Bag, his expression noticeably improved, and his tone became more friendly. "Sand Fruit King, although you guard a fertile Realm Domain, your own cultivation is somewhat slow. You need to speed things up."

Sand Fruit King understood her meaning perfectly well and quickly replied, "The Twelve Wise One have been busy and haven't had time to guide me... I also dare not rashly consume too much, lest I lose control of my mind!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yang tensed up.

This was something she didn't know.

Unexpectedly, I managed to get some information out of him.

No wonder the Bone Peach Mother Tree dared to devour so many of its own kind.

It turns out there was "guidance" from Wise One.

As for how to provide guidance, Li Yang had no idea.

After all, there are no more members of the same clan on the Bone Peach Mother Tree's side.

It's no wonder that Sand Fruit King wanted to leave Kong Shier and join Kong Shisan —it wasn't that he didn't want to devour his own kind, but rather that no one was there to guide him.

The two were chatting happily when suddenly a member of the Sand Fruit Clan serving nearby sprang up, drew his knife, and charged at Li Yang.

Li Yang was taken aback when she saw a fair-skinned and adorable girl from the Sand Fruit Clan.

She showed no signs of change; her snow-white skin was crystal clear, and the small fruits hanging from her four strands of hair were not as eerie as those of other Sand Fruit Clan, but rather resembled strings of exquisite and adorable little beads.

But at this moment, her eyes flashed with murderous intent as she rushed towards Li Yang and angrily shouted, "It's all your fault! You led Father King astray!"

Chapter 153

This unexpected turn of events caught everyone off guard.

In particular, this girl from the Sand Fruit Clan was well-versed in the art of sneak attacks. Although she had long been mixed among the servants, she was able to arrive in front of Li Yang in an instant, which must have been due to the Sand Fruit Clan's Earth Escape Technique is a type of magic that allows one to escape from danger).

This Earth Escape Technique) is indeed quite

Li Yang was clearly a whole realm higher than her; in theory, she should have been able to kill him easily.

But faced with this sudden sneak attack, she had no time to defend herself.

Of course, an attack of this magnitude wouldn't be enough to kill Li Yang.

Li Yang didn't need to deploy her Invincible Shield; the Tree Garment on her body alone was enough to stop her.

However, given Li Yang's skill level, he was able to quickly counterattack and kill the girl Sand Fruit attempted to assassinate him at such close range.

However, Li Yang did not make a move.

The Sand Fruit Clan before us showed no signs of change.

It is clear that it has never devoured any sentient Astral Realm beings.

Moreover, what she said touched Li Yang.

Qing Teng and the others acted swiftly. First, a shield landed on Li Yang, and then a blow sent the Sand Fruit Clan girl flying several meters away.

Immediately afterward, Qing Teng leaped out, placing the blade against the neck of the Sand Fruit Clan girl.

A sudden panic erupted in the main hall.

Many Sand Fruit Clan were shocked and exclaimed, "It's the princess..."

Sand Fruit King flew into a rage. "Nonsense! How dare you assassinate our honored guest!"

The Sand Fruit Clan girl showed no fear whatsoever. With her snow-white face held high, she declared loudly, "Father! Stop indulging in evil ways! You will destroy our entire Sand Fruit Realm Domain!"

With a "smack," the enraged Sand Fruit King slapped her across the face.

Sand Fruit girl's snow-white face instantly swelled up, revealing a clear handprint, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.

However, the girl from Sand Fruit showed no fear, only determination and resolve. "Father, so what if you advance to the Grandmaster? Our Realm Domain is gone, our people are gone, we..."

"Shut up!" Sand Fruit King roared, about to slap her again.

In the blink of an eye, Li Yang appeared beside the Sand Fruit King and stopped his muscular arm from falling.

The Sand Fruit King was taken aback, his eyes narrowed dangerously as he looked at the Bone Peach Mother Tree.

The Sand Fruit Girl's sneak attack caused the Sand Fruit King to lose face, but Li Yang easily grabbed his arm, which greatly displeased the Sand Fruit King.

This Bone Peach Mother Tree appears to be at the Fifth Grade Realm, but its cultivation level is actually suppressed.

It was precisely because she, like him, was at the Sixth Grade Realm Peak that she dared to be so arrogant and try to stop him!

Li Yang let go.

The Sand Fruit King's expression remained sinister, and he said with a forced smile, "Please forgive me, Bone Peach King, my daughter is unruly and has offended you. Today I will throw her into the Shattered Fruit Sea, so that her soul may return to the Sand Fruit!"

Li Yang was quite surprised.

Judging from the tone of Sand Fruit King's voice, does he intend to execute his own daughter?

That Shattered Fruit Sea is no good place; although it's called a sea, it's actually the cemetery of the Sand Fruit Clan.

The Sand Fruit Clan are thrown into the Shattered Fruit Sea after they die.

There, towering waves surge year-round, chewing up and crushing the corpses of the Sand Fruit Clan before returning them to the Sand Fruit Realm Domain.

This sounds extremely cruel to the Huaxia people; it's like not even being allowed a complete corpse after death.

But for the Sand Fruit Realm Domain, this is one of its customs.

They believe that after the corpses are churned up in the Shattered Fruit Sea, they can be reborn as members of the Sand Fruit Clan and continue the cycle of reincarnation.

Of course, this is after death.

If one were thrown alive into the Shattered Fruit Sea, it would be an extremely harsh form of torture, even within the Sand Fruit Realm Domain.

Although Li Yang was surprised, her expression remained unchanged.

After all, she is the Bone Peach Mother Tree.

The Bone Peach Mother Tree is a being that devours its own "children" at will.

Hearing her father say this, the Sand Fruit Girl showed no fear. She stubbornly looked at the Sand Fruit King and said, "Father! Don't listen to these evil people anymore. They will drag you into the abyss of hell, where you will never be able to escape..."

Sand Fruit King roared, "Drag this unfilial daughter away!"

Li Yang suddenly spoke up, "Sand Fruit King, your daughter is quite interesting."

She controlled her voice very subtly.

The Bone Peach Mother Tree's voice was already soft and feminine, but now it held a hint of cruelty in its ambiguous smile.

Not to mention others, even the Qing Teng Squad felt their hearts tremble upon hearing this.

Qing Teng thought to herself, "My junior aunt's acting is amazing!"

Back in the Life and Death Realm Domain, Qing Teng had already discovered that Li Yang's acting skills were superb; even those in the know would be fooled.

Li Yang said slowly, "She's so adorable; it would be such a waste to throw her into the Shattered Fruit Sea..."

Sand Fruit King looked at Li Yang.

Li Yang smiled and said, "Sand Fruit King, why not give her to me?"

Sand Fruit King frowned and said, "This child is unruly and even tried to assassinate Bone Peach King. It's really..."

Li Yang glanced at the Sand Fruit King and said, "What, is the Sand Fruit King reluctant to part with it?"

Sand Fruit King immediately said, "What's there to be reluctant about with such an unfilial daughter! I was already planning to throw her into the Shattered Fruit Sea anyway... Since Bone Peach King is interested, then please take her away!"

Li Yang's sinister posture, coupled with the terrifying persona of the Bone Peach Mother Tree, drew pitying glances from everyone present towards the Sand Fruit Girl.

The Sand Fruit King's actions have also chilled the hearts of many Sand Fruit Clan.

However, they were powerless to resist.

Sand Fruit King doesn't even care about his own daughter, so why would he care about the lives of others?

If they resist, they will likely die a far worse death than the princess.

The Sand Fruit King holds absolute authority in the Sand Fruit Realm Domain, not only because he controls all advancement resources in the entire Sand Fruit Realm Domain, but also because he is the most valiant warrior of the Sand Fruit Clan.

The Sand Fruit Clan is extremely skilled in assassination.

And the Sand Fruit King is the best among them.

The highest level of the soldiers of the Sand Fruit Clan was only the Fifth Grade, a whole major realm lower than the Sand Fruit King.

Even if they wanted to resist, they didn't have the strength.

The Sand Fruit King treated his daughter so cruelly as to make an example of her.

He knew that the Sand Fruit Clan had been filled with resentment for years.

In an effort to quell public anger, Sand Fruit King forcibly extended the hatred towards the Huaxia Realm Domain.

However, 28 years have passed, and as the situation in the Sand Fruit Realm Domain becomes increasingly difficult, the Sand Fruit Clan within the Realm Domain has begun to voice its protests.

Although the Sand Fruit King set up Huaxia as his target, the Sand Fruit Realm Domain's strength was limited, and he couldn't gain any advantage over Huaxia. Instead, he kept losing combat power.

In recent years, many people have written to the authorities questioning whether it is truly necessary to continue launching surprise attacks against the Huaxia people.

What benefits would this bring to the Sand Fruit Realm Domain?

The Huaxia Realm Domain is currently recuperating. Once they recover, they will target the Sand Fruit Realm Domain first.

What will happen to the Sand Fruit Realm Domain then?

Of course, Sand Fruit King also had his reasons. He invoked the Lost Space Society, stating that if the Huaxia Realm Domain were to wage war against the Sand Fruit Realm Domain, the Lost Space Society send people to protect the Sand Fruit Realm Domain.

Then they will be able to use the power of the Lost Space Society to seize the Huaxia Realm Domain and plunder huge amounts of resources.

The promise was grand, but many Sand Fruit Clan did not want to wage war year after year.

Therefore, the Sand Fruit Realm Domain is by no means an impenetrable fortress.

Sand Fruit King avoided discussing matters within these Realm Domain.

But Li Yang had already vaguely sensed something amiss and had a guess in his mind.

The banquet was cancelled early due to the sudden assassination attempt.

Li Yang had not yet accomplished his purpose for this trip, so of course he would not leave the Sand Fruit Realm Domain.

She hasn't found an opportunity to plant the Teleportation Anchor on the Sand Fruit King yet, and Sister Longevity's exploration hasn't ended either.

Li Yang had a ready excuse, saying, "Let's stop here for today and continue the investigation tomorrow."

She came to the Sand Fruit Realm Domain under the pretext of investigation.

The Sand Fruit Realm Domain is very large, so it will take at least a few days to investigate.

As he said this, Li Yang's gaze remained fixed on the Sand Fruit girl.

Her gaze was cold and cruel, clearly still harboring resentment over the assassination attempt.

Although the Bone Peach Mother Tree didn't say anything, everyone present could sense that she wanted to torment Princess Jiangyue in private.

The Sand Fruit King had a rather complex expression.

Although he loathed his arrogant and willful daughter, the thought of her falling into the hands of the Bone Peach Mother Tree, being tortured and eaten by her, made him feel ashamed.
