Chapter 170 (continued)
Li Yang deliberately interrupted, "Lianxin, block him for me."
Lianxin said in her Spirit Sea, "Fellow Daoist, I..."
Li Yang quickly explained to him, "It's okay, I know you can't block it, I deliberately said it for the Flower of Evil to hear."
The Flower of Evil couldn't hear their whispers, but he was certain. "He can't block me out."
Li Yang walked straight ahead with a normal expression.
Flower of Evil: "Don't even mention that he's only Ninth Grade cultivator. Even if he really cultivated to the Ninth Grade Realm, he still couldn't shield himself from me."
Li Yang remained calm and even began to look around, trying to find the location of the kitchen.
Flower of Evil: "You're faking it, aren't you? You can definitely hear what I'm saying."
Li Yang spoke up, but he addressed Lianxin: "Lianxin, if the Flower of Evil hasn't made a sound, you don't need to block it anymore. Use some of your mental energy to help me search."
Lianxin: "Mmm!"
[Lifespan increased by 900 years.]
[Lifespan increased by 900 years.]
Flower of Evil: "..."
After a long pause, he said again, "I know you're a good actor. Your portrayal of the Bone Peach Mother Tree is so lifelike that no one can see through it."
Li Yang remained unmoved, and even became more focused. She carefully recorded the current environment of the street, while cautiously probing with her mental energy.
Mental power has a chance to pinpoint the general location of the kitchen.
Because the Starlight was extremely dense in the kitchen area, even though the Huoji had implemented some isolation measures, there must still be a large number of Star Wielders stationed there.
Even if one senses these Star Wielders, there is a chance to pinpoint the location of the kitchen.
The drawback of this search method is that it is too time-consuming.
The Thousand Flowers Realm Domain is neither too big nor too small. Even with Lianxin's help, it would be very difficult for Li Yang spiritual power.
However, Li Yang wasn't searching blindly; she had some general deductions in mind.
The kitchen must be located not far from the banquet hall.
With over 1,000 people involved, transporting them to the banquet hall without a secret treasure like the Spirit-Dwelling Box wouldn't be easy.
If it's too far away, it will be inconvenient, and it will also make you an easy target.
Although the Huoji plan was flawless, there was one point that needed to be taken seriously.
That means if Si Kui comes directly to rescue people instead of fighting him, he will lose both his wife and his army.
That's why the Huoji spread the news so extensively—to provoke Si Kui as much as possible, so that she would lose her temper and come to fight directly.
Of course, he would also guard the kitchen closely to prevent Si Kui from sneaking into the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain and rescuing people secretly.
The Flower of Evil continues its incessant chatter.
Li Yang was gradually losing the ability to hear what he was saying.
She was focused on the search, her mental energy highly concentrated. Even though she could still hear the voice of the Flower of Evil, she had no energy to think about what it was saying.
The Flower of Evil finally couldn't hold back any longer. He stopped trying to mentally interfere with Li Yang and said bluntly, "At your search speed, you won't find the kitchen in 30 days!"
The Flower of Evil finally spoke a human word, but Li Yang still wasn't in a hurry to pay attention to it.
Flower of Evil: "I know you can hear me!"
Seeing that Li Yang still acted as if he couldn't hear, Flower of Evil was furious and couldn't be bothered to continue the act!
He had never met such an impervious person.
Is she really only 20 years old?
How can someone be even more slippery and difficult to deal with than a 2 million-year-old veteran!
"I'll tell you where the kitchen is," the Flower of Evil said irritably.
Li Yang readily agreed, "Okay."
Flower of Evil: "Aren't you deaf?"
"Now you've heard me," Li Yang smiled and said, "If it's important, Lianxin will let me hear it."
Flower of Evil: "..."
He doesn't believe her for a second!
Li Yang's words are incredibly deceitful; only that silly Lianxin would believe them!
The Flower of Evil then said, "Open your Spirit Sea."
Li Yang pretended not to hear.
Even though I know she's acting, this selective censorship is just so convincing.
Flower of Evil: "I merely projected Time Rewind directly into your Spirit Sea."
Li Yang: "No need to connect to my Spirit Sea, just show it to me directly."
Flower of Evil: "There are still three days until the Thousand-Person Feast. Are you sure you want to waste your time on Time Rewind?"
Li Yang remained calm and thoughtful, saying, "I just need to know the location of the kitchen; it won't take long."
Flower of Evil: "..."
Li Yang continued, "If that doesn't work, then forget it, I'll find one myself."
"So what if I connect to your Spirit Sea? Lianxin is there to protect you; I can't hurt you."
Li Yang didn't believe him.
In this Thousand Flowers Realm Domain, the Flower of Flower of Evil's power far surpasses that of the Huaxia Realm Domain and the Single-Horn Domain. She has no intention of becoming his puppet after opening herself up.
Li Yang stated matter-of-factly, "That's Lianxin and my private space; we don't welcome outsiders."
Flower of Evil: "..."
Fortunately, he has lived for 900,000 years and is very calm.
Flower of Evil: "Fine, fine, fine."
He released the Time Rewind, and the scene before Li Yang's eyes suddenly changed, making him feel as if he were there again.
It must be said that the Flower of Flower of Evil's Time Rewind is quite advanced, more than ten or a hundred times better than hers.
Li Yang didn't want to miss any details, so she watched intently.
A flash of red light appeared, and then Huoji and his group landed in the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain.
They quickly took over the banquet venue and seized the hotel where Li Yang was staying.
The Woodbirth Tavern is actually a hidden treasure!
With a casual toss, the Huoji landed on the ground and instantly expanded into a three-story building.
This scene was quite shocking, Li Yang watched it intently.
The voice of the Flower of Flower of Evil rang out. "This is a defensive treasure. As long as you hide inside, you can withstand an attack from Ninth-Grade Supreme."
Li Yang gritted her teeth, clearly feeling the gap between Huaxia and the Upper Three Realms.
This secret treasure from the Huoji was something Li Yang had never heard of in the Huaxia Heavenly Palace.
This Woodbirth Tavern can easily accommodate 1,000 people, let alone 500.
As long as you hide inside, you can withstand the attack of Ninth-Grade Supreme. This is simply too powerful!
A thought struck Li Yang, and she instantly grasped the clue. She asked the Flower of Evil, "Even you can't break down this Woodbirth Tavern?"
The Flower of Evil stopped pretending and said with a forced smile, "If I could break through this barrier, would I need to go to such lengths to get close to you?"
Hearing this, Li Yang felt relieved.
What is negotiation?
Negotiations can only take place when both sides have leverage.
Otherwise, it would be a one-sided oppression.
Despite being at the Divine Venerable Realm, the Flower of Evil's true form is not in the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain.
Even if there are many of his clones in the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain, they are at most at the level of Ninth-Grade Supreme.
Therefore, he couldn't do anything about the Woodbirth Tavern.
With just this one piece of information, Li Yang roughly understood what the Flower of Evil wanted.
"Are you going to eat those diners?" she asked the Flower of Evil.
The Flower of Evil scoffed, "I'm not really interested in cannibalism."
Li Yang paused for a moment, then seized the opportunity to say, "So you don't want to eat me."
Flower of Evil: "Except for you."
Li Yang: "Are you saying I'm not human?"
Flower of Evil: "Are you even human?!"
Li Yang is of course a human being, but the phrase "Flower of Evil" means that the things Li Yang does are not things that a human being could do.
Li Yang also understood the meaning of "Flower of Evil".
Her claim that she wasn't very interested in cannibalism was simply that she was a picky eater.
A thousand diners wouldn't be enough to whet his appetite, but Ninth Grade Realm Nature Department Heavenly Fortune Bearer with destiny could certainly.
Li Yang: "Since you don't want to eat them, why did you come to me?"
While she was talking to the Flower of Evil, her eyes were also fixed on the Huoji group.
The Time Rewind effect was so realistic that Li Yang didn't even dare to look Huoji in the eye, as if the other person could see her across time and space.
Perhaps those at the Divine Venerable Realm can truly see it, but Huoji probably cannot.
Huoji and his group quickly settled down in the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain, and then another large expanse of red light descended.
It was a huge, fiery red tree.
How big is it?
1,000 cages were easily hung from the branches, and each cage imprisoned a Fifth Grade Realm Star Wielders!
Li Yang exclaimed, "What is this?"
Sister Longevity: [Would you like to consume 20,000 years of your lifespan to perform this query?]
Li Yang: "..."
She wasn't asking Sister Longevity, but Sister Longevity clearly wanted to extend her lifespan.
Flower of Evil: "This was a Seventh Grade Thousand-Fire Tree, but unfortunately, it was stripped of its sentience by the Huoji and reduced to a mere transporter."
"The Thousand-Fire Tree?" Li Yang's gaze towards it couldn't help but burn with fervor.
Wow, it's huge!
And it's at the Seventh Grade Realm!
This Thousand-Fire Tree has been stripped of its intelligence and is now just a walking corpse. If she can retrieve it from the Huoji, she won't lack Star Plant after advancing to the Seventh Grade.
The Thousand-Fire Tree looks like it bears a lot of fruit. Planting just one would probably be enough for Li Yang to harvest his lifespan back and forth!
Will the Thousand-Fire Tree drop fire-type Star Core?
Earlier, Ying Qi was muttering to herself, "Shen Shangchi is so lucky, he suddenly has so many ice-type Star Core!"
Ying Qi is a fire elementalist and has always coveted fire elemental Star Core.
As a good senior sister, Li Yang naturally wanted to meet her junior sister's needs as much as possible.
However, now is not the time to dwell on that. Li Yang stopped thinking and continued watching the scenes in the Time Rewind.
Huoji personally manipulated the Thousand-Fire Tree, moving it to a location about ten meters away from the banquet hall.
Then, a blazing flame shot into the sky.
Although Li Yang was watching Time Rewind, he felt as if he were actually there, experiencing immense pressure and flames that could burn his spirit.
