Chapter 173 (continued)

In a battle of this scale, without sufficient coordination, rashly attacking will only disrupt the rhythm of the Huoji.

Furthermore, given Huoji's strength, taking down the heavily injured "Sun" would be an easy task.

They didn't know that it wasn't the "Sun," but the real Jiang Nianchu.

Of course, it doesn't matter even if I knew.

Against Jiang Nianchu, the Huoji has a better chance of success.

Kong Shier leisurely watched the Bone Peach Mother Tree in the Woodbirth Tavern and said, "You're quite lucky; your only mortal enemy is about to be eliminated by the Wise One Fire Sacrifice."

The Bone Peach Mother Tree was filled with unease, only murmuring repeatedly, "Thank you, Wise One Fire Sacrifice! Thank you, Wise One Fire Sacrifice!"

Seeing her like this, Kong Shier felt bored and didn't bother to tease her anymore.

He had initially thought the Bone Peach Mother Tree possessed some power, but now it seemed she was just lucky.

With this level of skill, it's unbelievable that they ranked ninth out of Kong Shisan.

This clearly shows that Kong Shisan is nothing special.

Kong Shier felt his ranking was secure, and his mood improved even more.

Unfortunately, Kong Shier could never have imagined that the Bone Peach Mother Tree sitting beside him was merely a Spacetime Puppet.

The real Li Yang had already been lurking in the Woodbirth Tavern, preparing to break into the Thousand-Fire Tree.

The Flower of Evil has completely dropped its pretense.

His clone changed his appearance; his hair changed from silver-white to a deep dark red, and his clothes also changed.

The layers upon layers of snow-white clothing fell to the ground like scattered petals, merging into the mud, while his tall body was gradually covered with stiff black leather armor.

The Flower of Evil raised her hand and tied her long hair into a ponytail, saying, "I really don't understand Lianxin, how can its petals unfold like that!"

Li Yang looked at the cool guy in front of her, somewhat speechless.

It seems that the Flower of Evil went to great lengths to get close to her.

He and Lianxin have completely different styles, like ice and fire.

Although the Flower of Evil's attempt to imitate Lianxin was completely off, looking at the image before him—broad shoulders, narrow waist, long legs, and leather boots—at least one can tell how hard he had tried to learn.

Li Yang glanced at it, then looked away and said, "Let's go."

The Flower of Evil couldn't help but say, "Your taste is seriously flawed."

Li Yang didn't have time for small talk and said bluntly, "Don't waste time."

Flower of Evil: "Come with me."

He threw a punch, and a large hole silently appeared in the ground.

When the Flower of Evil made its move, Li Yang's heart tightened.

Because they were right next to the Woodbirth Tavern, and although the patrolling guards were already extremely busy due to the diners' commotion, there were still members of the Lost Space Society on the second floor of the tavern, and Li Yang was worried that Flower of Evil's punch would alert them.

Clearly, if the Flower of Evil dares to make a move, it is confident that it can deceive everyone.

Li Yang couldn't even see how he made his move, nor did he hear any sound.

There was a deep hole in front of us, and a faint red light was pouring out.

The Flower of Evil was the first to jump in.

Without hesitation, Li Yang quickly followed him inside.

Her nerves were on edge. In her Spirit Sea, she said to Lianxin, "Lianlian, help me observe our surroundings, and also beware of the Flower of Evil."

Lianxin: "Mmm!"

[Lifespan increased by 900 years.]

[Lifespan increased by 900 years.]

[Lifespan increased by 900 years.]

Seeing the constantly updated lifespan on the screen, Li Yang felt very at ease.

The hole that the Flower of Evil had created was much deeper than Li Yang had imagined.

In a daze, she recalled the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain from the Time Rewind.

At that time, she and Li Qingchen dug on the flowers for a long time before finally reaching the underground.

Could it be...?

Flower of Evil: "It seems you still remember the White Fungus Race's dwelling place; the Huoji placed the Thousand-Fire Tree there."

After finally landing, Li Yang felt as if she had been through a lifetime.

In the Time Rewind, the White Fungus Race longed for the gods to descend and redeem them from this dark and sunless underground world.

A "god" has descended.

But what he brought was endless calamity.

Li Yang also arrived here with the Flower of Evil.

So, this time, will the Flower of Evil represent calamity?

She really has the ability to spot...

Lianxin: "Fellow Daoist! You missed me!"

Li Yang was taken aback, then felt a warmth in her heart, and she whispered, "Mmm!"

She replaced the image of the Flower of Evil in her mind with Lianxin.

Suddenly, everything became clear.

The Flower of Evil represents calamity.

The Lianxin, however, symbolizes purity and goodness.

The gloom in Li Yang's heart dissipated, and she no longer hesitated.

She'll definitely be able to bring the seniors from the Nature Department home!

Li Yang's eyes suddenly lit up.

It was as if fireworks were constantly blooming in the night sky, giving people an extremely strong visual impact.

Thousand-Fire Tree!

Li Yang finally met Thousand-Fire Tree in reality.

Because underground, the Thousand-Fire Tree is far more dazzling and spectacular than when it's on the surface.

It burned fiercely, baking the surroundings and turning the underground temperature into a scorching hell.

On this magnificent, burning tree, countless cages hang.

In each cage, there is a person imprisoned.

When Li Yang saw this scene in the Time Rewind, he had already planned how to save everyone as quickly as possible.

481 people!

Not one less!

Flower of Evil: "Alright, I've delivered you."

Li Yang: "Thank you."

Having said that, she used Hidden Shadow and rushed towards the nearest cage.

Li Yang spotted the person sleeping unconscious in the cage at a glance.

She was a pale, thin woman.

Her clothes were tattered and hung loosely on her thin body.

Her skin was deathly pale, as if it had never seen the sun in a long time, and even her lips were bloodless.

She had only fainted, but it was as if... as if she wasn't breathing...

Li Yang didn't recognize her, but the moment she got close to her, she felt a familiar aura.

The Sparse Words, Natural Heart Sutra!

A familiar stream of emotion welled up in Li Yang's chest. Without Sister Longevity's reminder, she knew that her "Sparse Words, Natural Heart Sutra" had improved again.

Around the Thousand-Fire Tree, there were guards that the Huoji had arranged in advance.

They knew what was happening on Earth, and they visibly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that the Huoji was waging a great battle against the "Sun."

The Sun is infamous in the Astral Realm.

Even though these guards were all Master Realm, and there were dozens of them, they didn't want to have a direct confrontation with her.

Now that they heard that the Huoji had started a war with the "Sun," they were all relieved, feeling that they were lucky this time and didn't have to face the "Sun" again.

The guards lowered their guard, and with the Flower of Flower of Evil's mental shield, they couldn't sense Li Yang at all.

The Flower of Evil watched Li Yang with great interest.

He agreed to Li Yang's request and took her to the Thousand-Fire Tree. As for how Li Yang would rescue her... sorry, even the Flower of Evil couldn't figure out how.

That's 481 people...

It takes effort to eat them whole, let alone rescue them intact.

But Li Yang has truly created too many miracles.

Even the Flower of Evil couldn't help but wonder, how would she take this person away this time?

Li Yang used Risking Life, raising his cultivation level to the Eighth Grade Realm before unleashing Chen Ri.

Li Yang grasped the Chen Ri and used the Scythe of Ice, which had been evolved once again.

The icy-colored scythe flew out, transforming into dozens of smaller, spinning scythes that flew towards different cages.

This scene stunned the Flower of Evil.

This Star Skill... how can it have such high precision!

Scythe of Ice is not a particularly high-level Star Skill, and its effect in combat is actually quite average.

After all, the higher the level, the stronger the opponent.

Such area-of-effect Star Skill are only truly lethal to Star Wielders levels.

However, if the opponent's cultivation level is much lower than one's own, there's no need for Star Skill at all; simply using mental pressure is enough to cause the opponent's Spirit Sea to explode and die.

Therefore, high-level practitioners rarely cultivate Star Skill like the Scythe of Ice.

Of course, Li Yang's cultivation level isn't high, so it's normal that he hasn't had time to forget his Star Skill.

What surprised the Flower of Evil was her incredible accuracy.

This kind of Star Skill has another drawback: its accuracy is too low.

For example, when a sickle is swung out, it is difficult to control the direction of all of the dozens of smaller sickles that fly out.

At most, one could have a general direction; to imagine Li Yang hitting dozens of cages with such precision is simply a fantasy.

However, Li Yang did it, and not just once, but twice and three times.

One instance could be considered an exception.

These two or three times... only prove that she practiced diligently!

Did she already know that the Nature Department Star Wielders would be imprisoned on the Thousand-Fire Tree?

Impossible. When the Flower of Evil showed her the Time Rewind, Li Yang's surprise wasn't an act.

Hmm, thinking about Li Yang's acting skills...

The Flower of Evil hesitated for a moment.

But then he thought of the self-imposed isolation of the Huaxia Heavenly Palace, its extremely limited intelligence network, and how Li Yang had no way of knowing in advance!

She may have practiced this Star Skill for some other reason, and for some unknown reason, she actually developed such terrifying precision.

Anyone who has ever been to the Sand Fruit Realm Domain would not be surprised by the Flower of Evil.

Li Yang was able to use the Scythe of Ice to such an effect thanks to the Sand Fruit Tree.

Unlike other Star Plant, Sand Fruit Tree are not suitable for harvesting all at once.

Li Yang needs to ensure that the Sand Fruit Tree are not damaged and harvest the Sand Fruit as quickly as possible, which requires him to develop a unique harvesting Star Skill.

Relying on his large number of ice-type Star Core, Li Yang continuously increased his proficiency by spending his life on it, managing to give the Scythe of Ice such terrifying accuracy.
