Chapter 170

"Useless! They're all at the Fifth Grade Realm, and their Star Soul are all locked. Even if ten thousand of them came, they'd be nothing more than fish on a chopping board!"

"My God, this... this..."

For a moment, they couldn't tell whether it would be more advantageous for the Huoji to win or for the Sun to win.

However, Huoji quickly added, "If I win, I will also use these 2,000 Star Beast to help me advance to the Ninth-Grade Supreme and hold another grand feast."

Now, the people in the tavern no longer hesitated. They all stood up and cheered for the Huoji, shouting, "Where is the 'Sun'? 'Sun', come out quickly! Don't be cowards!"

Huoji then declared defiantly, "My words today are testified to by the Laws of Heaven and Earth!"

As he finished speaking, a brilliant golden light descended from the sky, Spirit Sea everyone inside the tavern to tremble and uncontrollably collapse to their knees.

With a loud bang.

A melodious bell rang out, sounding as if from ancient times.

The Laws of Heaven and Earth responded to the Huoji!

His words will surely come true.

If "The Sun" dares to defeat him, it can truly take away 481 Huaxia Star Wielders!

This scene was reported by the Star Wielders present to all parts of the Astral Realm.

There is no communication suppression in the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain.

Everyone present could transmit messages Realm Domain using their communicators.

They sent the message out, while also using their connections to relay it to the isolated Huaxia Heavenly Palace.

The purpose of holding this Huoji is quite clear.

He wants to force Si Kui to leave seclusion!

With the blessing of the Laws of Heaven and Earth, Si Kui can save these 481 people as long as she wins the Huoji.

If Si Kui doesn't come to fight under these circumstances—

That means either the "Sun" has fallen, and the Nature Department has been completely destroyed.

Either the "Sun" is still alive, but in complete seclusion. Even so, once she emerges from seclusion and learns of this, she will surely turn the Huaxia Heavenly Palace upside down!

Either way, it would be a huge blow to Huaxia.

The Huoji, on the other hand, serves multiple purposes.

Even if Si Kui Zhen were to come and fight, given her recent battle against Divine Venerable Qingmu, she would have absolutely no chance of winning against Huoji without having recovered.

After Huoji devours Si Kui, he will be able to successfully advance to the Ninth-Grade Supreme and become famous throughout the Astral Realm.

If Si Kui doesn't come to fight, Huo Huoji will still become famous, which will allow him to achieve his goal of gathering Disciple.

As expected of Divine Exalt Daowu's personal disciple.

Huoji's move was full of cunning and shrewdness.

If Li Yang hadn't known the inside story beforehand through his identity as the Bone Peach Mother Tree, one can imagine the chaos that would be in the Huaxia Heavenly Palace right now.

Si Kui will definitely come to fight.

Even if Marquis of Wind Pavilion and the others join forces to trap Si Kui, Si Kui will completely turn against the Huaxia Heavenly Palace and even fight them.

Regardless of the outcome, it fulfilled the wishes of the Upper Three Realms.

Even during the chaos at the Huaxia Heavenly Palace, their coordinates might be exposed, giving them an opportunity to launch a precise sniper attack.

Thinking about this, Li Yang felt a chill run down her spine.

The trap set by the Huoji was extremely targeted; there was virtually no chance of Si Kui surviving.

It seems that the fall of the Divine Venerable Qingmu has greatly angered the Upper Three Realms, which is why they are targeting Si Kui so relentlessly, determined to force her to perish.

Lianxin whispered, "Fellow Daoist, don't be afraid. The message definitely won't reach Senior Si Kui. Besides, the suppression on me hasn't loosened, and Senior Si Kui's condition is very stable!"

Li Yang felt a warmth in her heart and said, "I know."

The reason Lianxin was able to maintain her doll form was because Si Kui had placed a restriction on her.

Although this was intended to protect Li Yang, it has now become a signal.

As long as the suppression on Lianxin is still there, it means that Si Kui's condition is stable.

This proves that Marquis of Wind Pavilion and Teacher Li blocked all the news and prevented it from reaching Si Kui's ears.

After saying this, Huoji returned to the upper level of the tavern.

He did not find Li Yang.

After all, there are many Star Wielders in the tavern, and Huoji cannot possibly keep an eye on them all; that would be too much of a waste of his energy.

Besides, those present were all at the sixth or seventh rank, not worth his attention.

After the Huoji left, the tavern on the first floor became even more lively.

The discussion revolved around the Huaxia Heavenly Palace and Si Kui, while also marveling at the methods of the Huoji.

Many people have already expressed, "I want to join the ranks of Venerable Fire Sacrifice!"

"I want to join the Lost Space Society!"

"Wake up! You're only Sixth Grade, what right do you have to become a disciple of the Venerable Fire Sacrifice!"

Even if you're not his direct Disciple, being Disciple of Disciple would be fine!

"Furthermore, the Lost Space Society will help its Disciple cleanse themselves of defilement..."

"It cannot be cleansed." That cold voice rang out again, and he said slowly, "The members of the Lost Space Society have only had their corruption temporarily suppressed."

Everyone looked at that person.

The one who spoke was the white-clad man whose spiritual body was entirely black except for a silver halo.

His words instantly sparked outrage among the crowd, with many retorting, "Who do you think you are? You know nothing!"

"I advise everyone not to use the Heavenly Mandate Pill to suppress the pollution. Excessive suppression will only lead to a violent backlash, and then it will completely get out of control." The speaker was unusually gentle and was patiently advising the people in the tavern.

"What utter nonsense! How dare he be a customer? Throw him out right now!"

The man fell silent, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.

However, the more timid he became, the less the Star Wielders in the tavern looked down on him, and some even rolled up their sleeves, wanting to beat him up.

The unspoken rule of Thousand-Person Feast is that diners must not eat each other.

However, they turn a blind eye to small-scale fights.

The man grabbed the man in white and cursed, "Don't dirty the Woodbirth Tavern, let's get out!"

The man in white repeatedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry."

If it weren't for the fact that his spiritual body was completely black, he would really look like a bullied innocent little flower.

Li Yang still didn't want to make a move.

If this person isn't Flower of Evil, then there's nothing good among the diners anyway; let them fight like dogs.

If this person is Flower of Evil, then she has even less reason to take action.

"How heartless." The voice of the Flower of Evil suddenly rang out in Li Yang's Spirit Sea.

Li Yang's expression changed slightly, and a great weight was lifted from his heart: As expected, he is the Flower of Evil. Since he took the initiative to come to his door, then there is something to "talk" about.

The Flower of Evil said softly to Li Yang, "That was me when I had just left the Lotus Domain. Doesn't it look a lot like your Lianxin?"

Chapter 170

Without any hesitation, Li Yang replied, "Not at all."

[Lifespan increased by 900 years.]

[Lifespan increased by 900 years.]

The Flower of Evil asked in confusion, "Why? He and I share the same origin, and I took human form according to your preferences..."

"My preferences?"

"Yes, isn't this your aesthetic sense?"

Li Yang chuckled and asked again, "You just said this was you when you first left the Lotus Domain, so how did you see me then? And where did this transformation according to my preferences come from?"

The Flower of Evil uttered an ambiguous statement. "Time is nothing but a shackle that binds people."

The "people" mentioned in the Flower of Flower of Evil refer not only to the Huaxia, but also to all Astral Realm beings.

Or rather, they are Astral Realm beings below the Divine Venerable Realm.

Could Divine Venerable Realm truly manipulate time?

Or perhaps the Divine Venerable Realm transcends time?

These things were difficult for Li Yang to understand.

She also followed Li Yaowan's teachings and did not delve into these matters when her understanding was insufficient.

Li Yang: "Just like you said, I am bound by time, so it's impossible for you to see me now that you've just left the Lotus Domain."

Flower of Evil: "Are you truly bound by time?"

Li Yang: "!"

She breathed a sigh of relief, not letting the Flower of Evil sway her thoughts.

Facing a Divine Venerable Realm, she was far inferior in terms of realm, experience, and even understanding of the Astral Realm.

Once Li Yang starts to think deeply about what he says, she will only be drawn into a mental vortex, allowing him to lead her by the nose and losing the initiative.

Li Yang couldn't be misled by these mysterious and esoteric things; there was only one thing she needed to do right now.

That was to save the senior brothers and sisters of the Nature Department from the Huoji!

This thought was like a star shining in the dark fog, illuminating the direction for Li Yang.

Li Yang regained control with a single sentence. "Is there anything else?"

The Flower of Evil paused for a moment. "You..." He hadn't expected that Li Yang would remain unmoved in the face of such profound secrets of the Astral Realm.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Yang decisively said, "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

Flower of Evil: "..."

Lianxin couldn't help but whisper, "Fellow Daoist, you are so amazing!"

[Lifespan increased by 900 years.]

[Lifespan increased by 900 years.]

As for the specifics of his prowess, Lianxin couldn't quite put his finger on it, but he felt that Li Yang's ability to silence the Flower of Evil was truly remarkable.

Upon hearing Lianxin's words, Li Yang couldn't help but silently complain, "How dare the Flower of Evil compare to Lianxin? There's absolutely no comparison!"

Li Yang didn't just say it; she actually walked out of the Woodbirth Tavern without looking back.

She had gathered all the information she needed to collect in the tavern.

As for that Flower of Evil that was "bullied"...

Ha, she's just a Sixth Grade Realm; she doesn't need to care about a Divine Venerable Realm.

As for the Flower of Evil's past experiences, Li Yang had no interest in knowing.

If the Flower of Evil puts down her mystical nonsense and stops trying to mentally interfere with Li Yang, she might be able to have a chat with him.

The voice of the Flower of Evil followed, asking, "Aren't you curious? These things about time, about the gods..."
