Stunning beauty

dark night.

A cold wind swept in.

In the southern part of the Central Plains, the fire of the Vermillion Bird flashed by and headed northward at an extremely fast speed, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

On the earth, as the fire spread, the ice and snow melted and the dead grass appeared.

Under the cover of night, Fu Tianxi headed quickly northwards towards the capital of Dashang.

After a few breaths, two figures appeared in the wilderness, looking at the Son of Vermillion Bird who was going away in the distance with solemn expressions on their faces.

"How is it?" one of the men in green asked.

"It's not easy to deal with."

Another person responded, "Judging from the strength of his true qi, it is definitely not comparable to that of an ordinary single flower early stage god realm strongman. It is hard to imagine that this Suzaku Saint Son has only entered the god realm not long ago."

"The strength of the true qi doesn't mean anything."

At the side, the man in green said calmly, "It is said that this Suzaku Saint Son is a top genius comparable to the four great geniuses of the past. He is just a low-key person, so his brilliance is overshadowed by the Suzaku Saint Daughter. His strength is definitely much stronger than what we see on the surface."

"The Four Heavenly Pride?"

Another person said, "Among the four great geniuses back then, the Vermillion Bird Saint was defeated and the Son of Light disappeared. Only the current Great Shang Emperor Mu Bai and the Buddhist disciple Sanzang are left. Mu Bai has fought too few times and does not have much reference value. If we judge from the strength of the Buddhist disciple Sanzang, the true combat power of the Vermillion Bird Saint should not be much weaker than that of the Supreme Heaven."

"I'm afraid it will be more troublesome than that Tai Shangtian."

The man in green said in a serious tone, "When I fought with Tai Shang Tian before, if Fa Hai had not escaped from the battlefield, I should have been able to defeat him. Perhaps, the Son of Vermillion Bird does not have the terrifying regeneration ability of Tai Shang Tian, ​​but there is one thing that Tai Shang Tian is definitely not as good as him!"

"Attack power!" another person said in a deep voice.

"good."

The man in green nodded and said, "The Suzaku Sect's skills are known to have the strongest attack power among the eight sects in Nanling. Moreover, the Suzaku Saint is no slower than that Tai Shangtian. If a real fight breaks out, unless we have a way to cut off the Suzaku Saint's retreat, it will be difficult for us to avoid showing flaws under the Suzaku Saint's powerful offensive. Once the flaws appear, the Suzaku Saint will leave and we will have almost no way to stop him."

"This matter can only be considered in the long term."

Another person said solemnly, "Fortunately, he is in the light and we are in the dark. We will have plenty of opportunities in the future."

"That's right. Then go and complete the task assigned by the master first. We can talk about the matter of the Holy Son of Suzaku later." The man in green responded and turned to leave.

The other person quickly followed, and the two of them disappeared into the end of the night.

At the same time, in the streets of Dashang capital, Li Ziye took Chang Yu back to Li Garden. Because they had to wait for Fu Tianxi, they did not leave in a hurry.

In the dark night, people who had frozen to death could be seen on both sides of the streets, their bodies stiff and covered with ice and snow.

Moreover, this situation is not uncommon.

The fact that the rich live in luxury while the poor freeze to death on the streets is vividly reflected in this era.

In the cold winter of polar night, resources are seriously scarce. Under such circumstances, the already scarce resources will only be more concentrated in the hands of the powerful, and it has become normal to see people freezing to death on the road.

Unlike Li Ziye's callousness, Chang Yu wanted to bury homeless people who had frozen to death on the street every time he saw them. However, he was stopped by Li Ziye several times.

"Chang Yu, in troubled times, empathy is the most undesirable thing."

Li Ziye seemed not to notice the frozen corpses on the street. He said indifferently, "We can't even save the living, so how can we have time to care about the dead? If we have that little energy, we'd better think about how to solve the problem of polar night and cold winter."

"I understand the reason, but every time I see it, I still feel bad."

Chang Yu sighed and said, "I may never be as rational as Instructor Li in my lifetime."

"You don't have to learn from me."

Li Ziye said calmly, "If you were all like me, Confucianism would no longer be Confucianism. There's nothing wrong with keeping the kindness in your heart."

Strictly speaking, he and that crazy woman Tan Tai Jing Yue are the same kind of people. They will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. However, if everyone was like this, the world would have been in chaos long ago.

As the two were talking, red fire filled the air outside the Great Shang capital. Fu Tianxi arrived and quickly entered the capital ahead.

Soon, outside Li Garden, the two sides met face to face.

"Go to the inner courtyard." Li Ziye said as he looked at Fu Tianxi who was hurrying over in front of him.

"it is good."

Fu Tianxi nodded in response and walked into Li Garden.

Not long after, Li Ziye appeared in the inner courtyard of Li Garden. Looking at Fu Tianxi walking outside the courtyard, he smiled and said, "Old Fu, you are too slow."

"No one can be as fast as you."

Fu Tianxi responded casually, forming seals with his hands, and flames filled his surroundings, with the phantom of the Vermillion Bird appearing.

The moment Zhuque appeared, he saw the eldest son of the Li family in front of him and said in disbelief, "You are back!"

When Li Ziye saw Zhuque's reaction, he smiled faintly and said nothing more.

It seems that after a god's spiritual consciousness is split, information cannot be shared until the spiritual consciousness is reintegrated.

"When are we leaving?" Fu Tianxi stepped forward and asked.

"Just these few days." Li Ziye replied.

"How long will you be gone this time?"

Fu Tianxi asked, "Still three days?"

"uncertain."

Li Ziye shook his head and replied, "If the solution given by Lihentian in Kunlunxu is reliable, I should stay there for a few more days."

"What do you need me to do?" Fu Tianxi asked directly.

"Help Zhu Zhu steady herself."

Li Ziye said seriously, "The environment in the Kingdom of God is conducive to the growth of spiritual consciousness. I plan to bring Zhu Zhu's spiritual consciousness over there to strengthen it. However, if the spiritual consciousness is away from the body for too long, the body will quickly fail. When the body dies, the soul will also wither. Therefore, your task is still very difficult, Lao Fu."

"Just leave it to me."

Fu Tianxi responded without hesitation, "Before you come back, I promise that Junior Sister's body will be fine."

"Ah."

After hearing the former's assurance, Li Ziye nodded, looked at Zhuque standing beside him, and asked, "Zhuque, I'm going to the Kingdom of God this time, do you want to go with me?"

After hearing what the young man said, Zhuque looked slightly serious and asked, "Can you really open the mirror leading to the God Realm?"

"of course."

Li Ziye nodded and said, "Just answer whether you are going or not."

"go with!"

Suzaku responded, "If I can return to the divine realm, I will definitely do my best to help the Saint Girl."

At this point, Zhuque looked at the person in front of him and asked in confusion, "Why did you take me to the God Realm? Don't you hate me?"

"I don't actually have much hatred towards you."

Li Ziye replied calmly, "As for why I took you to the Kingdom of God, you will know later."

On the side, Fu Tianxi listened to the conversation between the two and seemed to have guessed something.

Brother Li should be eyeing the Suzaku Divine Realm of the Divine Kingdom.

Given Brother Li’s style of doing things, the people or gods he targets usually don’t have a good ending.

Under the night sky, Li Ziye noticed Lao Fu's gaze, smiled, and said, "Don't think I'm that dirty. I'm different from Wen Jutian and the others. To achieve my goal, I'm willing to sacrifice the people of an area."

"Wen Jutian?"

Fu Tianxi was shocked when he heard the name he had almost forgotten.

Why did Brother Li suddenly mention Wen Jutian?

and many more.

Sacrifice a domain?

Could it be that Brother Li is planning to follow Wen Jutian's example and sacrifice the gods of an entire region to save Zhu Zhu?
