Chapter 171 (continued)
Li Yang returned to the inn to ambush the diners who had just landed.
It was only the first day, and although the Woodbirth Tavern was already very lively, nearly half of the diners had not yet arrived.
Logically speaking, assassinating someone at Woodbirth Tavern would have been a much bigger spectacle.
However, Huoji is most likely still stationed at the tavern, so it's not suitable for Li Yang to intervene.
When she returned to the hotel, she bumped into two diners who had just arrived.
One of them was at the Seventh Grade Realm, and the other was only at the Sixth Grade Peak.
The Sixth Grade Peak Seventh Grade Realm, saying, "I never expected to be able to attend the same banquet as you, sir. It is truly an honor."
The Seventh Grade Realm glanced at him indifferently and said, "I heard that there are quite a few Eighth Grade distinguished guests among the diners this time."
The Sixth Grade Peak cultivator was very well-informed and said, "I've also heard that the overseer of the Single-Horn Domain seems to have been invited to the Thousand-Person Feast!"
Li Yang raised an eyebrow, surprised to hear the name of someone she knew.
Regulation of the Single-Horn Domain?
Jiang Nianchu?
That can't be such a coincidence!
Li Yang and Jiang Nianchu had a major falling out.
She not only caused a huge disturbance with Lu Yanbie in the Single-Horn Domain, but also ruined the Life-and-Death Battle Secret Realm.
After returning, he even shifted the blame to Jiang Nianchu.
The Lost Space Society has no connection with the Single-Horn Domain. Given Kong Shisan's greedy nature, he will definitely demand an explanation from Jiang Nianchu.
Jiang Nianchu had already given the reward to Li Yang, so why would she give it to Kong Shisan again?
Kong Shisan had no idea that Jiang Nianchu wanted to pocket the reward money and would inevitably try to sabotage him behind the scenes.
Jiang Nianchu would definitely attribute all of this to the Bone Peach Mother Tree.
Li Yang's mind raced, wondering if Kong Shisan knew the guest list for the Thousand-Person Feast?
They most likely know.
No wonder Kong Shisan was so generous in sending the invitation to the Bone Peach Mother Tree; it turns out there was a trap waiting for her.
It's likely that Kong Shisan also had some doubts.
So he threw the Bone Peach Mother Tree at her, making her face Jiang Nianchu directly, to see if she was lying.
After figuring all this out, Li Yang wasn't flustered.
However, Lianxin was terrified.
"Fellow Daoist! I sense a familiar aura; it is indeed Jiang Nianchu. He has just arrived in the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain!"
[Lifespan increased by 900 years.]
[Lifespan increased by 900 years.]
[Lifespan increased by 900 years.]
Li Yang was taken aback, then said with a wry smile, "Lianlian is really amazing; she can even sense that."
Lianxin said anxiously, "He will bully fellow cultivators!"
Li Yang: "Don't worry, with him here, I have a ready-made reason."
Lianxin: "?"
Although he didn't say anything, Li Yang could imagine the little doll's bewildered expression.
[Lifespan increased by 900 years.]
[Lifespan increased by 900 years.]
Seeing her lifespan slipping away, Li Yang felt a pang of heartache. She explained to Lianxin:
"Think about it, I am now the Bone Peach Mother Tree. If I were to suddenly go mad, I would have to find an excuse. But Jiang Nianchu is here now, and I have a lot of old and new grudges against him. I can just make a scene. Even if I cause a scene in front of the Huoji, I can still ask the Wise One Fire Sacrifice to help me."
Lianxin understood each word individually, but when put together, she was still confused.
But he sensed Li Yang's composure and determination, realizing that she was not nervous or afraid.
Lianxin relaxed and said, "Yes, I understand." Although she didn't really understand.
However, Li Yang needed to confirm with the Flower of Evil —what was his relationship with Jiang Nianchu?
She's currently collaborating with the Flower of Evil. If Jiang Nianchu completely obeys him, then they can discuss and act out this play.
Li Yang silently recited "Flower of Evil" three times in her mind.
The clone of the Flower of Flower of Evil appeared before her.
Li Yang asked, "Does the Single-Horn Domain belong to you?"
The Flower of Evil also sensed Jiang Nianchu's presence; he understood why Li Yang had asked this question.
The Flower of Evil retorted, "Then do you think the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain belongs to me?"
Li Yang understood.
Like the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain, the Single-Horn Domain does indeed have a large number of clones of the Flower of Evil, but none of them are actually Flower of Evil; at most, they are merely breeding grounds for malice.
Perhaps the Single-Horn Domain, like the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain, was initially created by someone praying for Divine Descent.
After the Flower of Evil descended, it bestowed power upon its target. Under the constant struggle and plunder of the Star Wielders, the Single-Horn Domain evolved into its current form.
Li Yang then asked, "Hasn't Jiang Nianchu been making offerings to you all along?"
Almost all the fighters in the Life-and-Death Battle were infected with spores of the Flower of Evil. Could this also be unrelated to the Flower of Evil?
Flower of Evil: "He's only at the Eighth Grade Realm; if he doesn't want to be swallowed up, he naturally has to pull me in as his backer."
Li Yang paused, then sighed, "So, you were used by him."
The Flower of Evil retorted irritably, "I've also reaped a great deal of malice from it!"
Jiang Nianchu is using the Flower of Evil, but isn't the Flower of Evil also using Jiang Nianchu?
It was a mutually beneficial arrangement for both of them.
Li Yang understood, of course, but since she had the opportunity, she naturally had to sow discord among them.
The Flower of Evil added, "Even if Jiang Nianchu dies, it doesn't matter. There are plenty of people in the Single-Horn Domain waiting to take over."
Li Yang: "I understand."
She already had a plan in mind and had found a good starting point.
Dozens of diners gradually arrived at the inn. Relying on the information he had overheard at the Woodbirth Tavern, Li Yang said, "Everyone is late and missed the important announcement from Venerable Fire Sacrifice!"
As soon as she said that, several people in the hotel turned to look at her.
After seeing Li Yang's cultivation level, the several Seventh Grade Realm looked rather dismissive.
However, none of them left; they intended to listen to what Li Yang had to say.
Li Yang plays the role of someone who is fanatically worshipping the Wise One Fire Sacrifice, and meticulously recounts everything that happened at the Woodbirth Tavern to the newly arrived diners.
Finally, she added, "I am also a member of the Lost Space Society, but unfortunately I didn't have the chance to follow the Wise One Fire Sacrifice... But you all have such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so don't miss it!"
Those who received invitations were all very interested in the Lost Space Society.
The fact that the Lost Space Society can help purify pollution has greatly appealed to many people.
However, those who have reached this level are all very cautious and will not easily join an organization.
At this time, Li Yang, as a member of the Lost Space Society, became the person they consulted.
Many people curiously stepped forward to ask questions, and Li Yang, a fervent worshipper of the Venerable Fire Sacrifice, patiently answered them.
As more and more people gathered, Li Yang recounted what had happened at the Woodbirth Tavern once more.
Everyone present felt that Venerable Fire Sacrifice was brave, resourceful, decisive, generous, and very charismatic!
Li Yang incited more and more people, and finally caught the big fish.
After receiving the invitation to the Thousand-Person Feast, Jiang Nianchu hesitated for a long time before deciding to come and attend.
His invitation was personally delivered by Huoji.
Jiang Nianchu certainly knew the meaning of Huoji.
The Lost Space Society had long coveted the Single-Horn Domain and had extended olive branches to him on several occasions, hoping to invite him to join the Lost Space Society.
Jiang Nianchu did not respond.
He managed the Single-Horn Domain very well, and the Life-and-Death Battle brought him a large fortune every year, so why would he need to join the Lost Space Society?
Why be free when you can be a local tyrant? Why be subject to the control of others?
Furthermore, the Upper Three Realms are also eyeing the Flower of Evil with covetous intent.
Jiang Nianchu, at least nominally, believed in the Flower of Evil.
Even if he doesn't actually believe in it, but rather uses the spores of the Flower of Evil to control the contestants in the Life-and-Death Battle, and to intimidate certain Ninth-Grade Supreme through the realm of the Flower of Evil.
Over the years, the Flower of Evil has not made things difficult for him, so Jiang Nianchu really has no need to seek refuge in the Upper Three Realms.
However, a Life-and-Death Battle not long ago destroyed most of the Single-Horn Domain.
Jiang Nianchu never expected that two Little Fire Fox would cause such a huge uproar, damaging the reputation of the Life-and-Death Battle, and even causing many Masters had invested in the Life-and-Death Battle to demand compensation from Jiang Nianchu.
Jiang Nianchu was extremely annoyed. After finally calming these people down, she decided to take a break and wait for things to calm down before resuming the Life-and-Death Battle...
Unexpectedly, a Second-Class Wise One from the Lost Space Society approached him, accusing him of withholding one hundred million Star Coin from his Disciple.
Jiang Nianchu was furious!
When the Little Fire Fox used Spatial Teleportation to leave the Single-Horn Domain, Jiang Nianchu realized that she was a member of the Lost Space Society.
Jiang Nianchu still respected this powerful organization in the Upper Three Realms and did not want to clash with it, so he suppressed his anger and decided not to pursue the matter.
To everyone's surprise, he let the Little Fire Fox go. But the Little Fire Fox was insatiable; after taking one hundred million, it was still not satisfied and actually wanted to swindle another one hundred million!
Jiang Nianchu confronted Kong Shisan, saying that she had already given the reward to Little Fire Fox.
But Kong Shisan wouldn't let it go, insisting that he had swallowed one hundred million Star Coin from his Disciple, and even demanded that the Sage of the Lost Space Society settle the matter.
Kong Shisan failed to summon the Sage, but instead alerted the Huoji.
After learning about the matter, Huoji comforted Kong Shisan and told him to stop bothering Jiang Nianchu.
Jiang Nianchu felt extremely annoyed. Ever since he saw that Little Fire Fox, it was as if he had gotten into some kind of filthy thing that he couldn't get rid of!
Now he inexplicably owes Huoji a favor, and faced with an invitation to a Thousand-Person Feast, he really can't refuse.
In addition, the Single-Horn Domain has recently suffered greatly due to its damaged reputation, which made Jiang Nianchu consider getting on board with the Lost Space Society.
Therefore, he came to the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain.
He never expected that he would see that damned Little Fire Fox as soon as he arrived in the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain!
Li Yang now takes the form of the Bone Peach Mother Tree, possessing no bloodline whatsoever from the Fire Fox Clan.
With Jiang Nianchu's level of understanding, he recognized her at a glance.
