Ch 15: New Cheat ━ Bloom
Liu Xixi gritted her teeth and walked towards Zhan. When she was still one step away, the puppet suddenly moved, blocking between them, still with those cold eyes and that cold tone,
“This is a taboo, contact is forbidden.”
The puppet’s repeated obstruction made Liu Xixi extremely annoyed. She didn’t have much time to waste.
“Either you save Xia Jiuyuan, or get out of the way!”
“Approaching is forbidden, or you will be killed without mercy.”
The puppet spoke, deliberately releasing its Seventh Rank aura. Liu Xixi’s eyes widened upon seeing this.
This Forbidden Zone prohibits entry for those above Catastrophe Grade, but this puppet is Catastrophe Grade. Doesn’t that mean the puppet is invincible within the Forbidden Zone?
Not receiving a Voice Transmission from Zhan, Liu Xixi no longer hesitated. She took out a Token and threatened,
“I have activated this Token. If I stop channeling my Spiritual Energy into it, the World-Ending Strike sealed within will descend.
Tell me, can this Small Space, the Hundred Treasures Garden, withstand a World-Ending Strike?”
The puppet fell silent, seemingly contemplating the weight of both options.
“The craftsmanship for creating such a thing should have been lost to time…”
Liu Xixi shook the Jade Token in her hand and replied, “If you don’t believe me, feel free to try and attack.”
After saying that, she ignored the puppet, bypassed it, and reached out to touch Zhan.
The moment before touching Zhan, Liu Xixi hesitated.
Was the threat from the Token that effective?
She turned to look at the puppet and continued to ask,
“If you teleport Xia Jiuyuan out, I won’t touch this taboo.”
“I do not have that authority.”
Hearing this, Liu Xixi no longer hesitated. She pointed her finger forward.
Smooth, and cool.
This was Zhan’s touch, giving Liu Xixi an indescribable feeling. But the Trial had already begun, and she didn’t ponder it further. Instead, she looked around, wary of any enemies that might attack at any moment.
However, after being vigilant for a while, besides the puppet that was still staring at her coldly, no new enemies appeared.
Could this puppet be the content of the Trial???
Thinking this, Liu Xixi looked at the puppet vigilantly. Could the Trial content really be it?
How can a Catastrophe Grade be fought?!
Even with Zhan’s help, it would be futile!
“No… it’s already over, there is no Trial. It feared you would die and destroy this place…”
Zhan’s Voice Transmission answered Liu Xixi’s concerns.
It could be like this??
Liu Xixi looked at the puppet. Could she use this to threaten it and obtain that Phoenix Cry Grass?
“I know what you’re thinking… I advise you not to speak, not to say another word that breaks the rules here. I am already dead, and it’s not unacceptable if the Hundred Treasures Garden is truly destroyed. Moreover, it’s questionable whether your thing can destroy the Hundred Treasures Garden.
Even a clay figure has some temper!”
The Catastrophe Grade aura was released without reservation. In an instant, Liu Xixi’s hands were broken, and her spirit and physical body suffered severe trauma.
“Hiss—”
Liu Xixi cried out in pain, but she didn’t dare to truly fight the puppet to the death. She could only dejectedly bite Zhan, which was floating in the air, with her mouth, then stagger towards Xia Jiuyuan, kneel down on both knees, and place the flower in her mouth next to Xia Jiuyuan’s vacant Heart.
“You must, you must get better…”
Zhan transformed into a beam of light and flew into Xia Jiuyuan’s Life Force.
“I keep my word.”
Hearing Zhan’s Voice Transmission, Liu Xixi breathed a sigh of relief. She held Xia Jiuyuan’s hand but was horrified to find that his body temperature had begun to drop.
“Why is his body temperature…”
“Do not be deceived by his superficial Life Force; he is already dead! A drop in body temperature is normal… Of course, his Soul has not dissipated, so there is still hope…
However, the Killing Qi from your attack has affected his Soul, which is very troublesome. I need time, do not disturb.”
Liu Xixi’s claw attack was at full damage, not only piercing his heart but also shattering Xia Jiuyuan’s meridians throughout his body and damaging his Soul.
Hearing Zhan’s words, Liu Xixi’s face fell, and she had no idea how to face Xia Jiuyuan when he woke up.
Could their friendship still continue…
She looked at Zhan. Zhan had taken root and sprouted at Xia Jiuyuan’s Heart. The original Energy Heart was absorbed by it, replaced by a heart-shaped root system.
It looked exceptionally terrifying, but this was the best outcome Liu Xixi could strive for. She made a silent decision in her heart,
“I will take full responsibility, no matter the Price…”
……
Meanwhile, outside the Forbidden Zone,
“The Hundred Treasures Garden is the safest Forbidden Zone, please calm down, both of you.”
Jing Yu tried to comfort the two anxious individuals, but her words could not calm them down.
“Calm down? Xixi is the closest person to me in this world.
As one of the strongest in this era, I failed to protect my younger brother and sister-in-law, letting them fall before young Xixi, which is already a great disservice to them.
And now…”
Liu Le was extremely agitated. Jing Yu’s eyes flickered; she felt there were some hidden circumstances between Liu Le and Liu Xixi’s family that she was unaware of…
Li Canghuang, standing nearby, also had a gloomy expression. Xia Jiuyuan was the only hope left by his elder brother, He Zhongqiu, before his death. If anything happened to him, he would likely be ashamed to even remember He Zhongqiu in the future!
He truly did not expect an accident to occur even while he was watching. After all, it had been decades since the Hundred Treasures Garden Restricted Area was last discovered.
Xia Jiuyuan happened to reach the lair of that Heretical Cult, and those people from the Heretical Cult happened to know the Entrance to the Hundred Treasures Garden Restricted Area.
What kind of probability is this!
“They must have chosen the Trial. Speaking of which, it’s strange. My Nephew Disciple lacks nothing, so he shouldn’t have taken the risk to choose the Trial… No, I can’t be sure about him either…”
Recalling Xia Jiuyuan’s frequent and inexplicable actions, Li Canghuang felt a headache coming on.
“Xixi… alas, Xixi will definitely go to the Trial. She is a very strong-willed, very stubborn Child. Normally, she seems to follow my arrangements because she also believes they are reasonable.
Once she sets her mind on something, no one can stop her!
…… Do you believe that a six-year-old Child locked herself in solitary confinement for ten years?”
Li Canghuang shook his head. He thought that a six-year-old child locking herself in solitary confinement for ten years was not stubbornness, but a mental issue. In any case, it was definitely not normal.
“Are you sure your Nephew Disciple knows the Rules of the Forbidden Zone? He shouldn’t… he shouldn’t still not have returned by now.”
“He should know… I am also very curious as to why both of them have not returned yet. In fact, I am quite confident that the kid can pass the Trial. What I fear is him being…”
As Li Canghuang spoke, he glanced deeply at Liu Le. Liu Le, realizing what he meant, also had a grave expression.
“The probability of them being assigned together is very small… They shouldn’t be that unlucky, should they?”
But if that kind of thing really happened, could Xixi endure it?
The three World-Ending Strongmen, each lost in their own thoughts, fell into silence until a figure approached their location.
Liu Le’s expression turned ferocious. “An accomplice of those people? Huh? No, this…”
Jing Yu and Liu Le both looked at Li Canghuang, whose brow was furrowed.
“Don’t rush.”
He walked forward, revealed himself directly, and asked in a gentle tone:
