Chapter 186 (continued)

Li Yang voiced her thoughts. "The state of the Huaxia Heavenly Palace isn't as bad as you think. A while ago, Marquis of the Long Night and my teacher defeated a Divine Venerable from the Upper Three Realms. Not long ago, 'Light of Dawn' wreaked havoc in the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain, successfully rescuing all the survivors of the Nature Department..."

After hearing what she said, the Flower of Evil couldn't help but re-examine the situation of the Huaxia Heavenly Palace.

Rumors of Huaxia's decline are spreading throughout the Astral Realm, and people dare only hide somewhere within the Astral Realm, afraid to reveal their coordinates.

But now that I think about it, was Huaxia really that weak?

Admittedly, in that great battle 28 years ago, the entire Nature Department was wiped out, Huaxia suffered heavy losses.

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. Nowadays, apart from the Upper Three Realms, there are very few Realm Domain with as many Ninth-Grade Supreme Huaxia.

However, the Upper Three Realms have been constantly pessimistic about Huaxia, causing people to assume from the outset that Huaxia is a weak race.

Even the Flower of Evil was deceived.

In reality, the Huaxia Heavenly Palace is the greatest threat to the Upper Three Realms.

The Flower of Evil gradually came to understand what Li Yang meant.

Li Yang continued, "Since your clone is with the Lost Space Society, don't waste this opportunity. Just pretend you've discovered that the Upper Three Realms want to besiege your main body, then send a message to the Huaxia Heavenly Palace, indicating that you can provide some valuable resources and requesting Huaxia Heavenly Palace assistance..."

The Flower of Evil's eyes lit up, and she said, "You mean, as long as the people of the Lost Space Society know, that's enough? Even if the Huaxia Heavenly Palace doesn't come to help at all, they'll still be on guard."

"Right."

Li Yang had already seen through the Upper Three Realms and knew that they were very wary of the Huaxia Heavenly Palace, far from being as indifferent as they appeared.

"And then!" The Flower of Evil, no longer wanting to think, asked, "Will the Huaxia Heavenly Palace then pull off a 'mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind' maneuver?"

Li Yang looked up at him and said, "What are you thinking about? Now is not the time to start a war."

Flower of Evil: "???"

Li Yang: "All we need to do is disrupt the Lost Space Society's plans this time, and we can also make Bone Peach Mother Tree."

The Flower of Evil grew increasingly confused and asked again, "What does this have to do with the Bone Peach Mother Tree?"

Li Yang gathered her thoughts and explained the entire plan to the Flower of Evil.

Flower of Evil: "!"

Li Yang: "Did you understand?"

Flower of Evil: "... I... I understand."

Li Yang: "If there are any changes, I'll find a way to let you know."

After a long pause, the Flower of Evil finally found its voice. "Can this really work?"

"At least it will buy us some time," Li Yang said, looking at him. "If you still can't find that Ninth-Grade Supreme and kill him..."

Before she could finish speaking, the Flower of Evil already understood.

It means he is unworthy to Divine Venerable, and he deserves to have his power stolen and the Evil Domain taken away.

The Flower of Evil gritted her teeth and said, "He provoked me first."

Once he gets through this phase, even if it means sacrificing most of his clones, he will kill that bastard who threatens his Divine Venerable Authority.

The Flower of Evil has begun to move.

Li Yang's first task for him was to control a First-Class Wise One of the Lost Space Society.

The Third-Class Wise One, like the Bone Peach Mother Tree, had no chance to know the contents of the meeting, but the First-Class Wise One certainly did.

This Mystifying Space Gathering is for the purpose of eliminating the Flower of Evil, so we will definitely mobilize as much power as possible.

The First-Class Wise One are already Ninth-Grade Supreme; perhaps Xuanyuan has a strategic plan for them.

Of course, it wouldn't be easy for the Flower of Evil to control a Ninth-Grade Supreme with just one clone.

Li Yang: "If the First-Class Wise One aren't enough, controlling Kong Yi and Kong Er will do."

The Flower of Evil asked worriedly, "What if they don't know?"

Li Yang: "You say they knew, so they knew."

Flower of Evil: "???"

Li Yang explained, "This news isn't that reliable. Kong Yi and Kong Er are both key members of the Lost Space Society. It's quite normal for them to have overheard it by accident."

The Flower of Evil hesitated for a moment, but still said, "To be on the safe side, I'll go and control a First-Class Wise One. Don't worry, even if they're both Ninth-Grade Supreme, the difference in strength is still huge..."

Seeing his determination, Li Yang said no more.

Being able to control First-Class Wise One is ideal; the comparisons between "Kong Yi" and "Kong Er" are somewhat far-fetched.

The Flower of Evil was also doing it for Li Yang's own good; only by controlling a First-Class Wise One could the suspicion against the Bone Peach Mother Tree be completely cleared.

After all, the Bone Peach Mother Tree was one of the people in the know, and she happened to be following the Flower of Evil.

Li Yang added, "If we can't succeed in one strike, then we'll just give up. At worst, I'll say you've invaded my Spirit Sea."

Hearing this, the Flower of Evil became even more agitated, saying, "That doesn't make sense. What could a newly initiated Third-Class Wise One like you know? Unless you deliberately expose yourself, why would I possibly invade your Spirit Sea? I'm counting on you to advance to the Ninth-Grade Supreme!"

This is where Li Yang's knowledge is lacking.

She quickly realized what was going on and nodded, saying, "That's right. Your rash invasion of my Spirit Sea will cause irreversible damage to my Origin Soul."

Now that she has reached the Master Realm, her Origin Soul is in a very mature state. If it is damaged, it will be much more difficult for her to advance further.

But would the Flower of Evil be content to consume only a Seventh Grade Realm?

Besides, the probability of the Bone Peach Mother Tree knowing this is extremely low, so there's no need for him to waste such delicious food.

The Flower of Evil added, "Just wait, I have my own way!"

He didn't want to lose to Li Yang!

He needed to make Li Yang understand that he wasn't like Pure Lianxin, who was good for nothing but crying.

Lianxin's voice rang out. "Fellow Daoist, it's not a big problem. He can use the Sacred Heart Flower as bait; Ninth-Grade Supreme can't withstand it."

Li Yang asked curiously, "Is it the Sacred Heart Flower that Jiang Nianchu used to manipulate people?"

Lianxin explained, "That was just a simulation. The real Sacred Heart Flower... well, it's similar to Ninth Grade Lotus Seed!"

Li Yang was taken aback; this was something she hadn't expected.

The Lotus Domain is truly unique, giving birth to the Lianxin and the Flower of Evil, which are diametrically opposed yet similar.

Li Yang asked, "Where did the Sacred Heart Flower in the Flower of Flower of Evil's hand come from?"

Lianxin hesitated for a moment, then said, "He got it from the Lotus Domain, right?"

Li Yang: "?"

Lianxin said with shame, "If I were to reach the Ninth-Grade Supreme, I would be able to return to the Lotus Domain on my own."

Li Yang understood now; so that's how it was. She then asked, "So, the Lotus Domain not only has the Ninth-Grade Lianxin, but also the Ninth Grade Sacred Heart Flower?"

Lianxin: "Mmm!"

Li Yang then asked, "The Flower of Evil can take the Sacred Heart Flower, but you can take the Lotus Seed?"

Lianxin paused, then shook her head and said, "My neighborhood is full of lotus seeds. If you need Sacred Heart Flower, I can go there too..."

Li Yang said, "No, I was just asking. Your Lotus Domain is really interesting."

Lianxin: "Once you reach the Ninth Grade, you can go to the Lotus Domain!"

As the Flower of Evil once said, the location of the Lotus Domain is mysterious and unpredictable; not even Ninth-Grade Supreme could pinpoint it, let alone Divine Venerable from the Upper Three Realms.

But Li Yang roughly understood why Lianlian said that, and she asked, "Because we have a contract?"

Lianxin: "Mmm!"

Looking back now, Lianxin was the smartest one.

For some unknown reason, he was stolen from the Lotus Domain. After leaving the Lotus Domain, there was no suitable cultivation method for him in the Astral Realm. In order to avoid being devoured and to avoid eating people, he chose to play dead.

The Fenglie Clan had kept him imprisoned, and it's possible they didn't spare him for research and torture.

Lianxin endured it all, but in the end, she was used as a knife to kill Si Kui and was delivered to Si Kui.

When Si Kui tried to forcefully contain him, he sensed Li Yang's presence.

What he hasn't said to this day is that he sensed a familiar aura from Li Yang back then.

At that time, he only thought that Li Yang had lived for a very long time, just like him, but had never cultivated any power, so she had never eaten people—she must be a good person—later he learned that Li Yang was not old, but that familiar aura still existed, inexplicable and reassuring.

It was precisely because of this that Lianxin dared to ask Li Yang for help and sign a contract with her.

This was the only way home that Lianxin could think of after pretending to be dead for nine hundred thousand years.

Unable to cultivate Lotus Domain, he could only bind himself to someone through a contract, promising to send her home once she reached the Ninth Grade Realm.

Lianxin has followed Li Yang for so long and gone through so much with her. His biggest feeling is that he didn't misjudge her. Li Yang is a very, very good person.

He wanted to take her home.

I want to repay her properly.

The only way Lianxin can think of to repay Li Yang right now is to give him all the lotus seeds she has stored at home!

Since the Flower of Evil has something like the Sacred Heart Flower, then Li Yang doesn't need to worry.

The Ninth Grade Sacred Heart Flower and the Ninth-Grade Lianxin are similar, both being rare and precious Innate Sacred Object. They are not only essential for those at the peak of the Eighth Grade Mirror to advance to the Ninth-Grade Supreme, but also one of the necessities for the cultivation of the Ninth-Grade Supreme.

Once you reach the Ninth-Grade Supreme, further advancement becomes extremely difficult.

The first Eighth Grade Realm only require one Ninth Grade Innate Sacred Object, but once you reach the Ninth Grade Realm, you need one Ninth Grade Innate Sacred Object for each minor rank!

Therefore, once you reach the Ninth Grade Realm, you will only crave Ninth Grade Innate Sacred Object even more.

If the Flower of Evil uses the Ninth Grade Sacred Heart Flower to lure someone, someone will inevitably fall for it.

The Flower of Evil is particularly adept at bewitching people; if the other party loses their composure even slightly, he can seize the opportunity and easily take them down.

Li Yang patiently waited for the Flower of Evil to return.

The next day, someone unexpectedly visited, which startled Li Yang.

The newcomer began by saying, "Your Majesty, I am a friend of Xuan Shiyi. May I ask if I may meet with her?"

Li Yang recognized who it was.

Kong Shisan...

What is he doing here?

Besides, when did he ever consider the Bone Peach Mother Tree a friend? Didn't he always see her as an unreliable and greedy subordinate trying to climb the social ladder?
