After much effort, Li Hong finally stored the Black Jade Platform along with the corpse of Shenlong and the hundreds of Exotic Silver Chains into the Cosmic Bag. There were still many tasks ahead, and Li Hong planned to wait until he had some free time to separate the Shenlong's corpse, the silver chains, and the Black Jade Platform.
After reuniting with Ling Yanzi, Aurora, and Tianqi Zi, Li Hong immediately noticed two additional women nearby.
Yao Guang's situation was quite awkward; logically, she should approach and bow, addressing her as "Ancestor's Wife." However, since Ancestor had already been killed by Ling Yanzi and Aurora together, and besides Yao Guang, there was also another Spider Demon concubine of Ancestor present. Did that mean he also had to bow to the Spider Demon? That was absolutely out of the question!
Thinking this, Li Hong simply cupped his hands towards Yao Guang as a form of greeting, ambiguously passing through; as for the Spider Demon, Li Hong had long heard of her "glorious deeds," and not killing her on the spot was already showing respect to Ling Yanzi. He shot a cold glance at the Spider Demon as a warning before taking charge: "Everyone, let's quickly relocate all the mortals from the outer city. There are no Rebels here, so things might be a bit troublesome. I will prepare the medicine; as for how to make them obediently come before me to take the medicine at the Yin Yang Platform, I will leave that to you all!"
After saying this, he simply sat down at the ruins of the Original Immortal Palace gatehouse, took out a few immortal herbs, tossed them into his mouth while closing his eyes to meditate and recover his Awareness.
Heavenly Torch rolled his eyes and imitated Li Hong by sitting cross-legged beside him, saying loudly, "I've been fighting alongside my brothers for half a day; my bones feel like they're falling apart. You all think of a way first; my brothers and I will take a break. Unless it's absolutely necessary at the last moment, don't call us!"
Ling Yanzi and the others were taken aback but could only nod helplessly and began discussing seriously.
Li Hong kept his eyes closed but transmitted his voice through Divine Consciousness: "Old brother, I'm doing this to avoid an awkward encounter with those two women. Why are you adding to the chaos?"
"Oh? Why can you slack off while I can't? Don't want to face those two? You know they'll definitely give their all. Tsk tsk, on what basis do you say I'm slacking off? Fine then, we're even; let's rest!"
The two comfortably sat in meditation.
Meanwhile, Yao Guang and Green had indeed started arguing.
Yao Guang said, "My mount Phoenix is currently hidden in the outer city. As long as I summon it over and ride it into the sky, everyone here knows me; they all respect me as Phoenix Fairy. With just one command from me, would they dare disobey? Why do you need to complicate things?"
Green sneered in response: "The Immortal Palace is gone; just look at what a mess the mortals outside are in! The city lord can no longer control it; fires have broken out in two or three dozen places inside. Do you really think riding your Phoenix through the sky will help? No one will even notice you!"
Yao Guang coldly laughed: "How do you know it won't work if we haven't tried? Let me ask you instead—what good plan do you have? I see you're probably just trying to take advantage of the chaos to escape!"
Green was furious, her delicate fingers almost poking Yao Guang on the Qiong Nose: "Don't slander me! How can I not do anything? Hmph, as long as I go to the Lord's mansion to gather people, personally post a notice, and kill those troublemaking mortals on the spot, I guarantee that the riot in Monan City will be quelled within a day! By then, will they not line up obediently?"
Yao Guang sneered: "The method is good, but who knows what your true intentions are? Those who are not of our kind will have different hearts. You are not human; can we mortals trust you?"
Green suddenly had tears welling in her eyes and cried out, "Oh, Ling Yanzi! It seems I am not blessed enough to follow you. Please grant me death, so I won't be mocked endlessly!"
Yao Guang coldly laughed: "What a good performance! It was this act that caught Seasoned Master's eye back then, and now you are trying to charm others again!"
Upon hearing this, Green stopped crying and turned to angrily scold Yao Guang: "You can insult me all you want, but why insult Ling Yanzi? He is a hero; how could someone like me, a mere Spider Demon, charm him? Stop your nonsense!"
Yao Guang did not expect that his words would drag Ling Yanzi into it, and he felt his face flush with embarrassment.
Ling Yanzi, who had been silent until now, finally spoke at the right moment: "Both of your methods are good; let's proceed with both. Yao Guang, go find your phoenix; Green, go find the city lord, and then do this and that..."
Both Yao Guang and Green were surprised and delighted to see that Ling Yanzi had accepted their suggestions. They exchanged fierce glares before turning to leave and carry out their tasks.
Remaining were Aurora and Tianqi Zi, who stood beside Ling Yanzi, asking in unison: "What should we do?"
Ling Yanzi smiled slightly and said: "Keep an eye on those two."
Aurora and Tianqi Zi scratched their heads in confusion but still went along with the order. Meanwhile, Ling Yanzi slowly walked back to sit cross-legged beside Li Hong Tian Zhu, remaining silent.
The outer city was already in chaos. All the mortals witnessed the events that had unfolded earlier today: the disappearance of the celestial palace, tens of thousands of immortals being slaughtered by outsiders, and most terrifyingly, even the great river outside had dried up! Everyone realized that doomsday had arrived. In such circumstances, the normal order of life quickly fell apart; riots erupted throughout the city as people looted granaries and stole water from others, all just to survive a little longer—even for a drop of water, people were killing each other.
Such situations had occurred in Xiaoyao City. Human nature is the most fragile under pressure; Li Hong understood this better than anyone.
Spider Demon began to mobilize the warriors of the city lord's mansion throughout the city to quell the unrest, while Yao Guang rode on her phoenix, soaring through the sky and loudly calling for mortals to head to the gates of the Celestial Palace, where they would continue their lives with the immortals in another celestial realm.
It proved that Ling Yanzi was right; both of their methods were effective. Spider Demon successfully eliminated the rioters, clearing all roads leading to the Celestial Palace and transforming them into safe passages. Meanwhile, Yao Guang timely guided the kind-hearted citizens, who had been sitting at home resigned to their fate, along these paths toward the Celestial Palace.
Li Hong stood up as he saw from a distance that groups of citizens were slowly making their way here, dragging their children along.
In Monan City, there were the fewest mortals among the three Celestial Palaces, totaling just over seventy thousand. It took three days to gather everyone onto the Yin Yang Platform, where they sorted through various usable supplies and took everything with them as they left Monan City.
Restrictions were still in effect; from afar, Monan City remained shrouded in a transparent dome. This was because Li Hong had acted too quickly, inadvertently striking down the true form of the Desert South Shapeshifter. The Demon Baby, frightened, fled swiftly, which is why Restrictions had not been lifted. However, this was merely a matter of time. Soon enough, this place would undoubtedly become a vast desert like Northern Immortal Palace and Celestial Palace of Leisure, merging with the endless miles of Desert outside.
But this was no longer a concern for everyone. Their mission had been successfully accomplished, and everyone was eager to return home.
The return journey also took a month. Upon arrival, the first task was to settle the mortals brought from Desolate South Celestial Palace.
During Li Hongling Yinzi's time in Desolate South Celestial Palace, Fuxi Xuanyuan and others had not been idle; they made many arrangements. First, they relocated all houses from the outer city to the site of the Original Immortal Palace, freeing up fertile land in the outer city for food cultivation. They also ordered Xi He to lead the Golden Core cultivators in shifts to guard against any tricks from the Shenlong.
The relocation was a massive undertaking; merely moving wasn't enough; more houses needed to be built. Every bit of material that could be used for construction was utilized without waste. For over two months, Fuxi Xuanyuan was busy with mortal affairs. By the time Li Hong arrived with the mortals from Desolate South Celestial Palace, this enormous project was nearly complete.
Li Hong discovered that he didn't need to worry about where these people would live because Fuxi and his team had already planned it out. A vast expanse of blank sandy land with a diameter of several hundred miles had been reserved for the mortals from Desolate South Celestial Palace. All Li Hong needed to do was bring out the people and belongings; others would help them start anew.
All leaders of the Rebels gathered once again.
Inside a large white tent stood over a hundred people. These individuals were disciples who had followed Fuxi Xuanyuan for many years. All of them were at least at the Refining Heart Stage. Now, these disciples looked solemn; everyone knew that the moment for decisive battle had finally arrived.
Fuxi spoke in a deep voice: "In this battle, we have no certainty because we are facing an invisible enemy! This enemy has set traps in Middle-Earth years ago, aiming to capture all of us Middle-Earth Cultivators. Their schemes are profound, their calculations long-standing, and their wisdom so deep that even I, Fuxi, am greatly impressed! Do you have confidence in overcoming such an enemy?"
Everyone looked at each other, some disciples could not help but lower their heads. Indeed, breaking the nearly hundred-thousand-year trap of the Middle-Earth Cultivator was not an easy task.
Fuxi continued, "This battle will undoubtedly be very difficult, and we may face extremely tough choices. The villain who set this malicious trap might force us to perish together with the False Immortal Realm. Breaking the formation could lead to severe consequences, potentially causing a massive change in the entire Immortal Realm space. Not only will Spiritual Energy rapidly diminish, but it is also very likely that the entire space will collapse." At this point, Fuxi's voice suddenly grew louder and more powerful as he declared, "However, even if we perish alongside the False Immortal Realm, even if we have to sacrifice the lives of hundreds of thousands here, we must overturn this situation!"
He surveyed everyone, his voice rising: "Do not forget, we share a common homeland—Lower Realm Middle-Earth! For ten thousand years, countless outstanding individuals from Middle-Earth have been devoured by this False Immortal Realm, consumed by this astonishing scam! We cannot endure another day! We must break this False Immortal Realm; even if it costs us our lives, it is worth it! Rather than living in this wretched environment that continues to devour our fellow countrymen day by day, it is better to fight desperately today for a chance of survival!"
"Fight desperately!" all the disciples shouted.
Li Hong was equally filled with passion, a fierce fighting spirit burning in his heart.
The formation eye was set, even if it meant venturing into the Demon Abyss!
Li Hongfei descended into the Underground space, teaming up with Ling Yanzi to capture Shenlong's Demon Baby. With the Demon Baby in custody and accompanied by an elite team of over a hundred people, they rushed towards Sunrise City, a million miles to the east.
Shennong was waiting there.
