The raging flames scorched the sky, dyeing the entire sky of the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain a pale orange-red.

With a deafening roar, a massive fireball crashed into the ground, burning a huge crater in its wake.

In Li Yang's previous life, this kind of spectacle would have been comparable to a nuclear explosion!

Huoji truly lives up to her reputation as someone who dares to challenge Si Kui.

Their strength should not be underestimated.

His Eighth Grade Realm Peak is enough to kill Ninth-Grade Supreme is beyond his level!

However, he did not break through his realm through battle, but rather relied on devouring.

What the Huoji most desires to devour is the "Sun" of Huaxia!

The crater was just big enough to hold the Thousand-Fire Tree.

After the Thousand-Fire Tree was buried underground, Huoji moved the Woodbirth Tavern, placing it directly on top of it.

The kitchen is like this!

Li Yang's previous deduction was correct; the kitchen was indeed very close to the banquet hall, and she had even guessed that it was near the Woodbirth Tavern.

After all, the interior space of the Woodbirth Tavern is limited, and it's hard to see that there's room to accommodate 1,000 people.

I never expected that the kitchen would be located underground at the Woodbirth Tavern.

The Flower of Evil has a very good point: even if you search for a month, you won't find Li Yang.

Because the underground of the Golden House cannot be explored using mental power.

A large number of diners gathered at the Woodbirth Tavern, which had gathered a great deal of Power of Starlight, thus obscuring the Thousand-Fire Tree below.

The Time Rewind has not stopped.

The Huoji not only suppressed the Woodbirth Tavern above the Thousand-Fire Tree, but also stationed a large number of its subordinates underground.

These subordinates are at least at the Seventh Grade Realm, and there are even several at the Eighth Grade Realm.

Don't underestimate Huoji just because he's only at the Peak Eighth Grade; his status is extremely high.

Divine Exalt Daowu was originally the number one figure in the Upper Three Realms.

He is his personal disciple, and his future is immeasurable.

Therefore, a large number of Master- level Star Wielders are willing to follow him.

After Li Yang finished reading, the Flower of Evil said coldly, "Don't even mention your teacher, even if your grandmaster came, he couldn't possibly rescue them."

But right now, not only have the aristocratic families not come, but even the teacher hasn't arrived. The only one who has come Li Yang, Sixth Grade Realm Sixth Stage.

When Li Yang saw the state of the kitchen, her heart sank.

No wonder the Flower of Evil told her the location of the kitchen so easily.

Knowing the location of the kitchen was useless.

No matter what method Li Yang used, he was unable to sneak in and rescue the people.

Moreover, the Woodbirth Tavern is very close to the banquet venue. On the day the banquet begins, given Huoji's flamboyant personality, he might simply move the Woodbirth Tavern aside and let Thousand-Fire Tree swagger towards the banquet venue.

With everyone watching, Li Yang had no chance to save anyone.

In the current situation, no matter how you look at it, Li Yang has no chance of winning.

Lianxin was also silently worried.

Li Yang, on the contrary, remained calm.

It wasn't that she had any method of infiltration, but rather that she knew the Flower of Evil had a way.

The Huoji's elaborate defenses were specifically designed for the teacher, hence their extremely high standards; even Ninth-Grade Supreme Being would be unable to save him.

Not to Li Yang.

Since the Flower of Evil showed these things to Li Yang, it means he has a way to infiltrate, but Li Yang will have to pay a certain price.

Time Rewind ended, Li Yang asked him, "Can you send me into the Thousand-Fire Tree?"

Flower of Evil: "I can."

Li Yang: "What do you need me to do?"

Flower of Evil: "Don't you understand the art of conversation? You're so boring!"

Li Yang was too lazy to argue with him and calmly and objectively said, "Whether the Time Rewind you showed me is real or fake..."

Upon hearing this, the Flower of Evil interrupted, "You even doubt this?"

Li Yang continued, "Even if it's fake, it doesn't matter. The Huoji has definitely laid out heavy defenses, and it's indeed difficult for me to break through."

The Flower of Evil said speechlessly, "I have no reason to lie to you."

"Hmm," Li Yang continued, "And you showing me these things isn't to discourage me, but to tell me you have a way to infiltrate the Thousand-Fire Tree. So, name your terms."

The Flower of Evil deliberately said, "The condition is... let me eat you."

Li Yang: "You went to all this trouble just for this?"

Flower of Evil: "..."

He detected the contempt in Li Yang's tone; she was practically saying, "Are you stupid?"

If the Flower of Evil only wanted to devour Li Yang, it would have had plenty of opportunities and wouldn't need to negotiate; it could have swallowed her whole long ago.

That's why Li Yang thought the phrase "Flower of Evil" was stupid.

The Flower of Evil was angered by her again and said irritably, "You're so boring! I can't scare you or pollute you, you're so annoying."

Li Yang: "Name your terms. I won't agree to everything. Although I want to rescue the senior from the Nature Department, I won't betray Huaxia for it."

The Flower of Evil, now determined to challenge her, asked, "What if I want other Realm Domain?"

"I wouldn't destroy an innocent Realm Domain for this," Li Yang added, "Unless that Realm Domain isn't innocent."

"Cold-blooded, ruthless, arbitrary..." the Flower of Evil murmured, "You can only fool Pure Lianxin."

Lianxin immediately spoke up, "Fellow Daoist, what he said is incorrect!"

Li Yang: "It's okay, I don't care what he says."

The Flower of Evil finally laid its cards on the table, saying, "I need malice, but the Huoji's banquet for a thousand people is too rule-bound to nurture malice."

Li Yang understood. "You want me to disrupt Thousand-Person Feast?"

The Flower of Evil had to admit that this mere Sixth Grade Realm Nature Department Heavenly Fortune Bearer was far superior to ordinary people in both intellect and intellect.

The Flower of Evil cannot tempt her, corrupt her, frighten her, or even morally blackmail her.

Li Yang's objectives were clear, and his principles were well-defined.

In her actions, she can be described as ruthless and arbitrary, yet the results she achieves are as fair, warm, and inclusive as possible.

The Flower of Evil had a nagging feeling that Huaxia might truly be on the verge of a comeback this time.

The Flower of Evil cut to the chase, stating bluntly. "What I need is chaos, evil, the greed and indulgence of humanity. Therefore, I need you to make these 1,000 law-abiding diners kill each other."

Li Yang finally understood completely.

This was undoubtedly a huge gain for her.

The Flower of Evil has a saying that's true: he doesn't really enjoy eating people; he needs malice more.

Li Yang couldn't help but think of Jiang Yuqing.

Jiang Yuqing need Shock Points, while the Flower of Evil needs malice.

This is actually quite similar.

Could this be the origin of those Heavenly Fortune Bearer?

Li Yang thought of Sister Longevity again, and of how she needed lifespan to cultivate.

Compared to Shock Points and malice, lifespan seems out of place; it's not even in the same category.

Li Yang collected her thoughts and asked the Flower of Evil, "So, you want me to disrupt the balance among the diners?"

"I don't care what you do, I want them to devour each other," the Flower of Evil declared.

Li Yang was not surprised.

She recalled the Time Rewind that the Flower of Evil had shown her when she first came to the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain.

At that time, the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain was peaceful and serene.

The large flowers on the outside have no intelligence and cannot cultivate themselves.

In the Astral Realm, a Realm Domain can only be locked at coordinates if a cultivator of at least the Third Grade has been born there.

The White Fungus Race moved onto the flower and absorbed a large amount of Power of Starlight.

It was precisely because the White Fungus King advanced to the Third Grade Realm that the coordinates of the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain were completely exposed, attracting even more greedy Star Wielders.

And this is the price the Flower of Evil demands after offering its help.

That fairytale-like, beautiful Thousand Flowers Realm Domain has been reduced to this infamous Realm Domain by the greedy and bloodthirsty Star Wielders.

The Flower of Evil did not dislike the Thousand-Person Feast before.

Although Thousand-Person Feast has a distinction between diners and food, the organizers usually cannot completely control the 1,000 dishes.

Therefore, even if diners receive an invitation, they still need to come and hunt for food.

This kind of hunting battlefield is the Thousand-Person Feast that the Flower of Flower of Evil desires.

However, this Thousand-Person Feast held Huoji was completely out of step with the "aesthetics" of the Flower of Evil.

Huoji is exceptional in both his realm and status.

He was enough to intimidate all the diners, preventing them from easily fighting amongst themselves;

At the same time, the Huoji firmly controlled all the food, leaving it no room to resist, so the diners no longer needed to hunt it.

Such Thousand-Person Feast is unlikely to breed much malice.

It holds no appeal for the Flower of Evil.

So he approached Li Yang, hoping she would stir up trouble and incite infighting among the diners.

Li Yang pondered in her heart that, as the Bone Peach Mother Tree, she really could do that.

These 1,000 diners were already impetuous people; with just a little provocation from her, even with the Huoji in place, they might fall into infighting.

There are many options, but there is one fatal risk.

Li Yang looked at the Flower of Evil and said, "If I cause trouble, I'll definitely be targeted by the Huoji. What if he finds out my identity then?"

Flower of Evil: "I will help you conceal your true nature. Even if Divine Venerable Realm comes, you will still be nothing more than the Bone Peach Mother Tree."

What Li Yang wanted was this promise from the Flower of Flower of Evil.

After a moment's hesitation, she added, "I need your help at certain times, is that alright?"

Flower of Evil: "I can help if they can devour each other."

Li Yang: "Deal."

The fact that Li Yang agreed so quickly made Flower of Evil feel somewhat uneasy.

After all, Li Yang was really difficult to deal with; he had tried so many methods but still couldn't control her. So why did she agree so readily this time?

The Flower of Evil asked her, "You trust me that much?"

Li Yang's reply was still crisp and decisive, "I don't believe it."

Flower of Evil: "..."

Li Yang: "Even if you make a contract with me based on the Laws of Heaven and Earth, I still won't believe you, but that won't stop me from disrupting those thousand diners."
