Chapter 234

Back then, when Shen Ze was on the teleportation array in Osmanthus City, he relied on everyone's awe of the Blood God Clan to intimidate others.

That crimson light is their defining characteristic, and also one of the unspoken rules of Osmanthus City.

The Divine Venerable of Wood established his authority over the Blood God Clan, both to reassure the Shennü and to protect the rare blood bank.

Li Yang breathed a sigh of relief; the situation of the Blood God Clan was better than she had imagined.

The Upper Three Realms surrounded the Blood God Realm Domain from the outside, preventing them from freely entering and leaving.

The reason why Shen Ze was able to enter and leave was because he was supposed to be the one to worship under the Divine Venerable of Wood and inherit the Authority of Heavenly Sight.

Therefore, they gained the authority to enter and exit Osmanthus City.

The Divine Venerable of Wood didn't mind letting him visit Osmanthus City occasionally, so that he could remind the Shennü from time to time that everything she cherished most was in his hands.

After learning about the Blood God Clan's situation, Li Yang said, "Therefore, as long as you kill the Divine Venerable of Wood, you will be free."

The Shennü continued, "You cannot kill the Divine Venerable of Wood, and even if our Blood God Clan truly leaves Osmanthus City, we still..."

"You don't need to worry about the latter; the Nature Department will protect you."

Li Yang felt that the Blood God Clan was not as weak as they appeared, after all, they were descendants of the Lotus Domain.

However, they themselves did not know how to harness the power of that drop of Divine Blood.

In addition, tens or even hundreds of thousands of years of confinement deprived them of the ability to walk independently.

These skills can all be developed, as long as they are given freedom.

Li Yang added, "There's one more thing, which is also why I absolutely must help you."

When Li Yang collaborates with others, she never relies solely on emotional appeals.

She will clearly tell the other person her needs and the other person's value.

Only in this way can the cooperation between the two sides be stable.

"Are you aware of the existence of the Lotus Domain?"

Shennü:"!"

To Li Yang's surprise, the Shennü blurted out, "How do you know the secret legends of our Blood God Clan...?"

The Flower of Evil, who had been listening quietly, couldn't help but speak up, "You actually guessed right!"

Where is Li Yang being deceived?

With so many clues piled up, even without substantial evidence, the answer is obvious.

"I know nothing of your secret legends; I have only been to the Lotus Domain."

These words may have shocked the Shennü more than she had killed the God King of Time.

"Impossible! That's the Sacred Domain that supports the Astral Realm. It doesn't have a real coordinate system, and no one can reach it!"

Li Yang briefly explained Lianxin's situation and their Symbiotic Contract.

The Shennü truly saw hope this time. Her voice trembled slightly as she said, "No wonder you were able to kill the God King of Time... No wonder... you are the Lord of the Sacred Domain..."

The Flower of Evil retorted indignantly, "What does this have to do with that good-for-nothing Lianxin? It's clearly because of my Divine Venerable authority!"

Li Yang calmed him down with a single sentence. "You are also a Lord of the Sacred Domain."

Flower of Evil: "!"

He snorted coldly, though he tried hard to suppress his pleasure, his voice betrayed him. "Of course, what kind of Lotus Domain would it be without flower petals!"

He wished Li Yang would say a few more words, but unfortunately Li Yang's mind was entirely on the Shennü.

Since the Shennü is so knowledgeable about the situation in the Lotus Domain, it's much simpler for Li Yang to explain.

While the relationship between the Blood God Clan and the Lotus Domain is only speculation, the fact that the Lotus Domain is being corrupted is undeniable.

The Shennü asked gravely, "How much longer can the Lotus Domain hold out?"

Li Yang shook his head and said, "I don't know, but when the Lotus Domain collapses, not only the Blood God Realm Domain, but the entire Astral Realm will be destroyed!"

This was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, making the Shennü completely harden her heart.

She took a deep breath and said, "It's not that I don't want to help you. If I had the chance, I would want to kill the Divine Venerable of Wood more than anyone else! But... I can't imagine any way to kill him."

Li Yang realized that the Divine Venerable of Wood was not only powerful, but also had a strong ability to survive; otherwise, the Shennü would not have emphasized this point so much.

Sure enough, the Shennü's next words were. "You probably can't imagine, but this Osmanthus City is actually the Divine Venerable of Wood!"

Li Yang: "!!!"

She felt a chill run down her spine and couldn't understand the meaning of those words for a moment.

What do you mean the entire Osmanthus City is the Divine Venerable of Wood? Isn't this place full of rare and precious materials? Does that mean the land beneath her feet is also the body of the Divine Venerable of Wood?

The Shennü explained, "As you can see, the entire Osmanthus City is filled with rare and precious materials, all of which are the accumulated Divine Venerable of Wood over hundreds of thousands... even millions of years."

Li Yang's heart tightened, and she said, "Then wouldn't he be...?"

"Of course he found you, I just didn't tell him."

Li Yang understood what she meant.

Although the entire Osmanthus City is Divine Venerable of Wood, his eyes belong to Shennü.

The Shennü did see her, but those eyes deceived her brain— the Shennü did not inform the Divine Venerable of Wood, Li Yang, of her situation.

Li Yang relaxed and continued, "He shouldn't have any authority similar to hearing, right? Otherwise..."

"No, not just anyone can inherit these powers. Over the years... he has only fully grasped the Authority of Heavenly Sight."

The entire Osmanthus City is ruled by the Divine Venerable of Wood, but he can only see, not hear, and cannot feel.

After all, there are too many people in this city. If we listen to everything and try to experience everything, we will only create chaos.

The Shennü, as his eyes, could see everything accurately.

But at the same time, the price he pays is that his eyes can also deceive him.

Shennü: "The reason I said you can't kill him is because he can resurrect anywhere in Osmanthus City at will."

Li Yang thought quickly and said, "He must have a physical body, right? The one that walks in front of people."

"That's not the true body; it's merely a temporary relocation site for the main consciousness."

"In other words, if I kill this temporary location where the main consciousness resides, its main consciousness can quickly regenerate a new location anywhere in Osmanthus City?"

"That's right!"

This is indeed a tricky situation.

The reason the Shennü didn't allow Li Yang to be defined by his physical form was because the Divine Venerable of Wood was the entire Osmanthus City.

Even if one disregards the lives of the people in the city and launches an attack from the outside to completely destroy a city like Osmanthus City, which is at the Divine Venerable Realm, the resources and manpower required would be beyond imagination.

Even if the Huaxia Heavenly Palace were to bombard it relentlessly at all costs, it would only alarm the Upper Three Realms and bring about even greater trouble.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Before the Huaxia Heavenly Palace could destroy the entire Osmanthus City, which was made of rare and precious materials, it would be besieged and annihilated by the elite forces of the Upper Three Realms that arrived later!

In the end, they'll lose both their wife and their army.

The Huaxia Heavenly Palace will only suffer heavy losses.

The Flower of Evil grumbled, "It's a good thing you hooked up with the Blood God Clan, otherwise we'd be in real trouble."

Li Yang thought of the countless clones of the Flower of Evil in the Evil Domain.

These Divine Venerable Realm are indeed very troublesome.

No wonder the word "god" is used; such a being is indeed outside the realm of normal human beings.

The Shennü added, "Furthermore, the Divine Venerable of Wood is extremely sensitive to emotions. The reason I can see so many emotions is because of his guidance."

Hearing this, Li Yang's mind started to wander, and she asked, "What kind of emotions are they mainly?"

The Shennü paused, then said, "A sense of crisis... He can clearly detect the murderous intent others have towards him."

It was indeed murderous intent.

Li Yang's heart tightened, and she asked the Shennü, "Won't you be exposed?"

The Shennü chuckled softly and said, "From the day I arrived in Osmanthus City, I have harbored murderous intent towards him, so... it doesn't matter whether I'm exposed or not."

Li Yang: "..."

The Shennü continued, "He believes he has complete control over me and doesn't care whether I harbor murderous intent towards him. Besides, whether it's for the safety of the Blood God Clan or due to my own limitations, it's impossible for me to pose a threat to him."

"Isn't he afraid you'll collude with others?"

"His arrogance lies in the fact that he will reveal his murderous intent as soon as any outsider gets close, no matter how discreetly they approach. So what if I collude with someone else? They will definitely be exposed."

Li Yang: "..."

No wonder the Shennü was so desperate; she truly was a formidable opponent.

Moreover, because of the existence of the Heaven and Earth Contract, the Divine Venerable of Wood will not be tempted by Li Yang's Myriad Phenomena Origin Soul.

Just as the Shennü said, once he knew of Li Yang's existence, he would only want to kill her.

Li Yang had a sudden inspiration and found a breakthrough in this direction.

Li Yang asked the Shennü, "If he changes the location of his main consciousness, can you accurately detect it?"

Shennü:"..."

She paused for a moment, then said, "Okay."

The Shennü added, "But that's no use. He's very perceptive; the moment you get close..."

Li Yang: "What if I didn't intend to kill him?"

Shennü:"??"

Li Yang: "How about this, let's cooperate once and try killing him."

The Shennü swallowed hard and said, "As long as we cooperate, he will definitely notice, and then..."

"That depends on how you cooperate," Li Yang said. "You just tell him that you've discovered that the Light of Dawn of Huaxia has infiltrated Osmanthus City."

The Shennü was startled and said, "Won't that expose you?"

Li Yang: "Then you tell him that you can't see my 'killing intent'."

Chapter 234

After Li Yang finished explaining her plan, the Shennü stared at her intently for a while, then silently lowered her eyelashes and said, "Is this your talent? It's quite special."

It's impossible for Li Yang not to have murderous intent towards the Divine Venerable of Wood.

Her words were full of plans on how to kill the Divine Venerable of Wood.
