Chapter 229 (continued)

Those last few words, of course, cannot be said; saying them would undo all the previous efforts to appease the situation.

The Flower of Evil snorted coldly and said nothing more.

The Flower of Evil's fear of fire-type Star Skill indeed stems from her early years.

The Lianxin, petals, and Lotus Leaf all undoubtedly belong to the category of Star Plant.

Star Plant generally fear fire, but as their cultivation level increases, their resistance will also increase, and they may even give birth to beings like the Thousand-Fire Tree that can absorb fire.

Li Yang then explained to the Marquis of Wind Pavilion, "Moreover, the fire element's forces are too large. Our plan for this trip to Fenglie Main City is to capture the leader first."

Li Yang had two purposes for this trip to Fenglie Main City.

One option, of course, is to destroy the headquarters of the Lost Space Society. This would not only significantly weaken the Lost Space Society's power but also restore the fame of the Huaxia Realm Domain in the Astral Realm, thereby shaking the influence of the Upper Three Realms on the entire Astral Realm and securing a powerful ally for the Huaxia Heavenly Palace.

The second task is to find the whereabouts of the Lianxin, which requires eliminating the interference—the Wooden Divine Venerable —and then having the Flower of Evil use Time Rewind.

Li Yang had already questioned the Flower of Evil originally had no recollection of it. However, he had stored all his memories, and after searching for two days and two nights, he unexpectedly discovered. "Holy crap, I really did go to Fenglie Main City, and I was captured there!"

Li Yang's expression turned serious. "What do you mean?"

The Flower of Evil hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll show you this memory... but you must remember, this is me from 900,000 years ago, completely different from who I am now, understand?"

Li Yang: "..." She didn't even bother to roll her eyes.

Flower of Evil: "Everyone has their humble beginnings, and so have you!"

Seeing that he was about to continue explaining, Li Yang had no choice but to grant his wish, saying, "Petals are inherently more fragile. Your ability to reach this point, Divine Venerable of Evil, is enough to prove your unwavering will and formidable strength."

The Flower of Evil felt relieved and then fully opened this memory to Li Yang.

Li Yang felt as if she had been pulled into the Flower of Flower of Evil's memories, witnessing his experience as if she had personally gone through it.

The flower of Flower of Evil was indeed quite delicate back then.

He didn't even have a human form.

It was just a snow-white petal, which at first glance looked very much like the Lianxin heart itself.

After all, they are all oval-shaped and the colors are generally the same, except that the petals are more pointed, while the Lianxin is round.

The Flower of Evil was quite fragile at that time, seemingly having just escaped from the Astral Realm void by sheer luck.

Then, the Fenglie Clan, who were lying in wait, put them into a specially made box.

The Flower of Evil cried out, "Who are you? What do you want?" Her voice was soft and sweet, and quite adorable.

Li Yang: "..." That's it, the evil filter of the Divine Venerable of Evil has been completely shattered.

No one responded to him; these people had clearly planned this all along, and quickly brought the Flower of Evil back to the Fenglie Main City.

Li Yang could only follow the perspective of the Flower of Evil and could not see the situation in the Fenglie Main City.

The reason why the Flower of Evil was able to know that this was the Fenglie Main City was because of its unique ability.

He could hear fragments of the Spirit Connection.

After all, he was Ninth Grade cultivator with extremely strong mental power. Although those who captured him were all Master Realm, the Flower of Evil could still capture some of his information as long as they communicated mentally.

The Master Realm who captured him weren't from Fenglie Main City, because they said, "Return to Fenglie City, everything is ready over there!" If they were Fenglie Clan, they would only say "Return to the main city."

"Fenglie City's foresight is truly remarkable; there really is a lost, Innate Sacred Object!"

"But this sacred object is so strange. It doesn't look like the Sacred Heart Flower... nor does it resemble any other Ninth Grade sacred object..."

"Who cares? As long as I can get the job done."

"There are some things in Fenglie City that I'd like to pledge allegiance to."

"Yes, I heard they picked up three in total this time..."

Upon hearing this, Li Yang's heart skipped a beat.

They didn't stumble upon the Flower of Evil by chance; they were waiting for it.

Not only the Flower of Evil, but also the Lianxin and Lotus Leaf are part of their plan.

If that's the case, then there's really hope of finding Lianlian's whereabouts through the Flower of Flower of Evil's Time Rewind!

The memory abruptly ended, Flower of Evil coughed lightly, saying, "Don't bother reading the rest. It's just that someone tried to eat me, but ended up being devoured by me instead!"

Li Yang pondered for a moment, then said, "Logically speaking, you revealed your consciousness quite early on, so why did they still...?"

Flower of Evil: "Only your Huaxia Heavenly Palace would be so picky about Innate Sacred Object. The Upper Three Realms don't care whether these Innate Sacred Object have consciousness or not!"

Li Yang: "..."

That's true. The Upper Three Realms have long had enough experience with spiritual pollution, so there's no need for them to be as cautious as the Huaxia Heavenly Palace, afraid of consuming the wrong thing.

The Flower of Evil added, "To be honest, they actually dare not eat inanimate things, such as Lianxin that are pretending to be dead."

Li Yang: "..."

Lianlian's accidental discovery was also a fluke.

However, Li Yang felt it wasn't that simple; the Fenglie Clan probably had other considerations for not eating Lianxin.

Otherwise, given their madness, what wouldn't they dare to eat, especially when faced with an Innate Sacred Object of the Ninth Grade rank?

At first, Li Yang thought that Fenglie City wanted to use the Ninth-Grade Lianxin to harm his teacher.

Looking back now, they must have had ulterior motives.

It was the teacher who took the Lianxin, perhaps something unplanned.

The Flower of Evil continued, "Although I stayed in the Fenglie Main City for quite a long time, I didn't have any mastery of Time Rewind at the time, so I didn't leave any anchor points..."

Li Yang said, "Your past is your anchor."

Through his cultivation in the Realm Domain of Time, Li Yang's understanding of these things even surpassed that of the Flower of Evil.

The Flower of Evil paused, clearly unsure.

Li Yang then said, "It's alright, as long as you've been there, I'll use your status to perform Time Rewind."

The Flower of Evil retorted irritably, "So I've become your second 'Risking Life' one, huh!"

No, that's not it.

Flower of Evil: "Hmph, I'm far superior to that damned treasure..."

Before she could utter the word "noble," Li Yang added, "You're much more talkative than Risking Life."

Flower of Evil: "..."

He roared, "Li Yang!!!"

Li Yang: "Even Chaochao isn't as loud as yours."

"You..." The Flower of Evil was so angry that his liver ached. He wanted to curse her, but it seemed to confirm that he was just like that foolish sword spirit; yet, holding back his curses made him feel uncomfortable, as if something was crawling all over his body.

Finally, the Flower of Evil could only say fiercely, "If you provoke me again, I won't go to Fenglie Main City with you!"

"Oh," Li Yang said, "You don't want so much malice?"

Flower of Evil: "!!!"

His threatening remark was meaningless.

Li Yang decided to go to Fenglie Main City, and the thing that excited him the most was the Flower of Evil.

He could already foresee how rich, delicious, and mouthwatering the malice would be generated in that malevolent main city because of Li Yang's stirring up.

"One day..." The Flower of Evil rediscovered its "original intention," and it said fiercely, "I will devour you."

Li Yang replied perfunctorily, "Mhm, Divine Venerable of Evil, please do your best."

Flower of Evil: "..."

With everything prepared, Li Yang, Cheng Rui, and Shen Binghua were ready to infiltrate Fenglie Main City.

There were only three of them on this mission.

It's not that they're arrogant, but rather that too many people would lead to unnecessary sacrifices.

This is not the stage of a full-scale war; they launched a surprise attack.

If the Huaxia Army were to invade, it would actually put everyone in Fenglie Main City on high alert, depriving them of the opportunity to infiltrate.

The reconnaissance team brought back very limited intelligence.

Li Yang, Cheng Rui, and Shen Binghua need to infiltrate completely, partly to find out the details of Fenglie City, and partly to find an opportunity to kill the Divine Venerable of Wood.

As soon as the Divine Venerable falls, Fenglie Main City will immediately fall into chaos.

Then, the Huaxia Heavenly Palace can easily recruit them by sending out elite troops!

As the departure date approached, Si Kui put aside all her worries and simply said, "I'll wait for you to come back."

What she demonstrated was a trust that was inherent in the Nature Department.

Since Li Yang and Cheng Rui have accepted this mission, Si Kui is confident that they will return victorious!

Auspicious Snow gave a military salute to Si Kui, who was now one of the new Twelve Marquises.

Li Yang bowed respectfully, but in the end, she threw herself into Si Kui's arms, hugging her and saying, "Teacher, wait for me to come back."

Si Kui's heart instantly melted into a puddle of soft water.

She couldn't help but feel sorry for Li Yang whenever she thought about his age.

She is so young.

However, there are already too many things that cannot be done without her.

Si Kui patted her back and said gently, "Go."

Just two words, yet they contain countless complex emotions.

There was heartache and reluctance, trust and appreciation, and a barely perceptible trace of regret.

A child's precociousness often indicates the incompetence of the elders.

If it weren't for the Greedy Wolf Incident, Li Yang should have been laughing and playing around in the Nature Department, just like she and Si Yue did back then.

Si Kui's hatred for Daowu grew stronger.

Li Yang released Si Kui, and when she looked up again, her eyes were filled with determination. "Uncle-Master, Teacher Shen, let's go."

The coordinates of Fenglie Main City have long been known to the Huaxia Heavenly Palace.

However, they cannot teleport directly to the Fenglie Main City, because there are definitely teleportation restrictions there, and multiple layers of security.

If you rashly teleport there, you'll only be attacked indiscriminately, and even if you don't die, you'll alert the enemy.

Li Yang had already chosen a place to stay, and now he directly led Cheng Rui and Shen Binghua there.

This is a "floating island" in the void.

Ninety percent of the Astral Realm is void, and it is extremely dangerous for anyone, regardless of their cultivation level, to accidentally fall into the void.
