Chapter 173
The Flower of Evil paused for a moment, then said, "Are you doubting my abilities? I don't need Jiang Nianchu to restrain me; I can send you into the Thousand-Fire Tree!"
Li Yang: "?"
Fortunately, the two were only communicating mentally, otherwise the Flower of Evil would have seen the disdainful look Li Yang was giving him.
The Flower of Evil retorted irritably, "You don't believe me? I can take you infiltrating the Thousand-Fire Tree right now."
Li Yang: "What if the Huoji also comes in?"
Flower of Evil: "..."
Li Yang didn't want any more trouble; she just wanted everything to go smoothly. "Jiang Nianchu is nothing. As long as we successfully rescue the survivors from the Nature Department, we can still have the opportunity to cooperate again."
The Flower of Evil knew that Li Yang was manipulating him, but he couldn't refuse.
This Thousand-Person Feast was rife with malice.
The abilities Li Yang demonstrated convinced him that sacrificing Jiang Nianchu in exchange for the opportunity to cooperate with Li Yang was a sure win!
Enough, enough. He, the Flower of Evil, never holds grudges against malice.
The Flower of Evil said, "He took so many of my Sacred Heart Flower, so naturally I can manipulate him."
Chapter 173
The Flower of Evil was indeed able to manipulate Jiang Nianchu.
Li Yang didn't ask how far he could manipulate things, and simply said, "You just need to keep him from speaking."
Flower of Evil: "..."
He imagined it for a moment and felt a pang of sympathy for Jiang Nianchu.
Although their cooperation was not pleasant, Jiang Nianchu's Life-and-Death Battle Secret Realm did indeed provide the Flower of Evil with a lot of malice.
Even though the Flower of Evil disliked Jiang Nianchu's self-righteous cleverness, she couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
Why mess with anyone?
He had to provoke Li Yang.
The Flower of Evil can no longer remember that Li Yang is only in her early twenties.
In his mind, Li Yang was even more cunning than some people who were 2 million years old!
Seeing that the Flower of Evil did not respond, Li Yang asked, "Is it alright?"
The Flower of Evil immediately retorted, "I just think it's too simple!"
Li Yang: "Simple is best."
With the power of the Ninth Grade Sacred Heart Flower, the Flower of Flower of Evil could completely control Jiang Nianchu, making him capable of suppressing Huoji with all his might.
Li Yang didn't allow the Flower of Evil to manipulate her like that for two reasons: firstly, she needed to preserve the power of the Flower of Evil's clone, leaving the majority of its power with the Thousand-Fire Tree; secondly, complete control would prevent Jiang Nianchu from unleashing her true strength.
The power of the Huoji is beyond doubt.
His Eighth Grade Realm Peak was absolutely genuine.
Li Yang had fought Jiang Nianchu in the Single-Horn Domain. Although it was only a brief encounter, he could still sense Jiang Nianchu's strength.
Jiang Nianchu is considered a master in the Eighth Grade Realm.
But he was facing Huoji, a powerhouse on par with Si Kui.
The gap between the two sides is not small.
To get Jiang Nianchu to hold Huoji as much as possible, he needs to develop his own will. This will stimulate his survival instinct and make him use all his strength to hold Huoji.
The tavern and inn were in complete Huoji. Seeing that he couldn't control the crazed diners, Huoji simply flew out of the Woodbirth Tavern to find the culprit himself.
Jiang Nianchu has already collected six Grade Ninth Grade Sacred Heart Flower.
This was a huge success for him!
With these six Grade Ninth Grade Sacred Heart Flower, he could control at least six powerful fighters in Life-and-Death Battle.
This will make the next Life-and-Death Battle quite exciting.
Jiang Nianchu was in a great mood, as the gloom she felt upon seeing the Little Fire Fox vanished.
After the Thousand-Person Feast ended and he successfully joined the Lost Space Society, he immediately disposed of the Little Fire Fox.
That Little Fire Fox is just a minor Disciple. If he only mentions it to the Huoji, that Little Fire Fox... and her boss, will be in deep trouble!
Jiang Nianchu was furious just thinking about it.
That Second-Class Wise One is truly arrogant, demanding a hundred million from him right off the bat!
If it weren't for the Lost Space Society behind him, how dare he make such an outrageous demand!
Jiang Nianchu was about to return to Woodbirth Tavern when she bumped into Huoji.
Huoji Ritual arrived on the wind, her flamboyant red hair like scorching flames, dyeing the sky a deep orange-red.
He appeared before Jiang Nianchu in the blink of an eye, his expression cold and stern as he asked, "Who exactly are you?!"
Jiang Nianchu was stunned by the question.
He had absolutely no idea what was going on.
What's the meaning behind the Huoji's accusatory demeanor?
He asked who he was.
He is, of course,...
Jiang Nianchu was about to speak when she found herself unable to utter a sound.
A chill ran up his spine, and his expression changed drastically.
But Huoji saw his expression as panic after being Huoji.
Huoji: "You really are the Sun!"
Jiang Nianchu panicked even more upon hearing this.
He knew, of course, that the purpose of the Huoji's Thousand-Person Feast was to use those 400-plus survivors from the Nature Department to lure out the big fish that Huaxia Sun.
Everyone knows that the Huoji wants to devour the "Sun".
But how could he regard him as the "Sun"?
Jiang Nianchu couldn't understand why he was mistaken for the "Sun" of Huaxia when he had only picked a few Sacred Heart Flower!
Jiang Nianchu tried to explain, but no sound came out.
His actions only reinforced Huoji's suspicions.
There's no doubt, this is the "Sun"!
Unexpectedly, the heavily injured "Sun" was still confident that he could silently kill the Regulator of the Single-Horn Domain and replace him.
Huoji dared not underestimate his opponent. After summoning his divine weapon, a tremendous flame crashed down on Jiang Nianchu with a deafening roar.
Although Jiang Nianchu didn't understand the situation, she knew that she had been tricked.
Who is it?
Is the "Sun" truly hidden in the shadows?
No, even if "The Sun" is incredibly powerful, it couldn't possibly silence him without him Aware it...
Not only could she not make a sound, Jiang Nianchu couldn't even establish Spirit Connection.
This is tantamount to manipulating his Spirit Sea!
That's terrifying.
Even Eighth Grade Realm Peak "Sun" cultivator could not possibly do that!
But who else could it be?
Jiang Nianchu also wondered if the Flower of Evil was manipulating him, but he quickly dismissed the thought.
He believed he understood the Flower of Evil very well, and that he had always played the role of being extremely loyal and humble in front of Flower of Evil.
Furthermore, if the Flower of Evil wanted to eliminate him, there were many opportunities in the Single-Horn Domain, so why bother coming to the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain?
Moreover, he had never offended the Flower of Evil; in fact, it would occasionally offer him sacrifices...
The Flower of Evil had absolutely no motive to persecute him!
If it's not the flower of Flower of Evil, then what is it?
Jiang Nianchu moment, and could only passively endure the barrage of Huoji.
This was quite difficult for him.
The Huoji's power is quite terrifying even in the Upper Three Realms.
Jiang Nianchu used her precious life-saving treasure to barely withstand a round of attacks.
What is going on?
What exactly happened?!
Jiang Nianchu tried his best to defend himself, but found it difficult to ask questions. His nerves were stretched to the limit, and finally... at a certain moment, he suddenly realized.
There was no Si Kui, and no one else.
This was all orchestrated by the Huoji!
Jiang Nianchu finally understood.
He only relaxed his guard slightly when he was at the Woodbirth Tavern.
It's likely that Huoji tampered with him at that time, preventing him from using the Spirit Connection.
As for why his Spirit Connection was blocked?
Naturally, they were afraid he would seek help from the Flower of Evil!
After all, this Thousand Flowers Realm Domain is a breeding ground for Flower of Evil.
Although the Flower of Evil rarely shows itself, if Jiang Nianchu asks him for help, there's no guarantee he won't intervene.
From the very beginning, Huoji did not intend to win him over, but rather to devour him directly and then seize the Single-Horn Domain.
After Jiang Nianchu understood all this, she felt a chill creeping down her back.
I was careless!
He was careless!
He only dared to attend the banquet because he thought the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain was a breeding ground for Flower of Evil.
But no one expected that the Huoji would be so greedy, not only wanting to kill Si Kui, but also wanting to devour him whole!
Jiang Nianchu became increasingly clear-headed as she thought about it.
His gaze toward the Huoji was no longer blank and panicked, but instead burst forth with intense hatred.
Jiang Nianchu's move was a counterattack!
The moment he made his move, Huoji realized something was wrong.
Since the Huoji wanted to devour the "Sun," it must have a very thorough understanding of the "Sun."
The power of the Nature Department is profound and boundless, like the vast sky or the boundless sea; the pressure it releases can cause people to lose the will to fight against it.
But Jiang Nianchu's attack lacked any of the grandeur and power of the Nature Department.
Moreover, he wasn't using the "Sun" Star Skill.
What happened?
Could this not be a transformation of the "Sun"?
Could this really be Jiang Nianchu?
Huoji hesitated for a moment, which gave Jiang Nianchu an opportunity. He had lost an extremely valuable treasure and resented Huoji's two-faced nature, so he attacked without holding back.
Jiang Nianchu knew very well that he couldn't defeat Huo Ji in Huoji, so he wouldn't let any openings exposed by his opponent go unnoticed.
Seizing this crucial opening, he unleashed a full-force attack.
Huoji's expression turned serious; how could he dare to be distracted again?
Things have come to this point, even if this isn't the "Sun" in disguise, even if it is the real Jiang Nianchu, he still has to devour it.
Who told Jiang Nianchu to be so sneaky, refusing to offer even a single explanation?
Since it's difficult to control, then devour it!
Huoji had long harbored the ambition to seize the Single-Horn Domain.
Both of them were fully aware of the situation and went all out without holding back.
A battle between the Eighth Grade Realm is enough to overturn an entire Realm Domain.
The members of the Lost Space Society did not come to provide support; instead, they all stayed obediently in the Woodbirth Tavern.
