Arc 16The Thousand-Person Feast
Li Yang infiltrated Huoji’s Thousand-Person Feast, rescued all 481 Nature Department Star Wielders, and became a celebrated hero in Huaxia. After reaching Ninth Grade and concealing her role in the rescue, she prepared to attend the Mystifying Space Gathering as Huaxia readied for conflict.
- Li Yang learned that the Thousand-Person Feast might hold hundreds of Huaxia captives and decided to attend, despite warnings that it could be a trap.
- Li Yang entered the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain and discovered that Huoji planned to use 481 Nature Department Star Wielders as nourishment and bait Si Kui into a challenge.
- Li Yang joined forces with the Flower of Evil, adopted the Bone Peach Mother Tree identity, and stoked distrust among the feast’s guests by framing Jiang Nianchu for killings.
- Li Yang used the Flower of Evil’s help to reach the Thousand-Fire Tree, then rescued the prisoners and escaped with them through a Teleportation Anchor.
- Li Yaowan confirmed all 481 survivors had returned, and news of Li Yang’s rescue spread across the Astral Realm as Huaxia celebrated her achievement.
- Li Yang recovered, learned that prestige could help her advance, and showed Li Yaowan the events of the rescue, including her Light of Dawn strike against Huoji.
- Li Yang kept her Bone Peach Mother Tree identity safe from Kong Shisan and learned that the Mystifying Space Gathering would take place in the Deep Space Realm Domain.
- Li Yang agreed to attend the gathering and seek support from the Upper Three Realms, while the Marquis of Wind Pavilion prepared allies and Li Yaowan treated the survivors.
