Chapter 422: Crucible? [Feng Family Star Alliance Leader Wishes Everyone a Happy New Year]
Yin Yun Xiao's chilling smile was filled with malice as he glared at Fang Che with bloodthirsty eyes. Extending his finger, he pointed at Fang Che and said, "Kid, just wait once you're in there."
Fang Che gave a calm and carefree smile, reached out to pull Lan Xinxue into his embrace, and provocatively replied to Yin Yun Xiao, "Saint Son, you're really... a bit impulsive. Why can't you be more open-minded about this? You should know that patience brings peace, and taking a step back opens up new horizons. As long as Brother Yin can let go, we three can still live happily."
He had also realized and confirmed this.
On the surface, Lan Xinxue seemed naive and innocent, but in reality, she was using him to deal a blow to Yin Yun Xiao!
Moreover, beneath her stunningly beautiful face lay a sinister and malicious intention.
Without his knowledge, she had used him to provoke Yin Yun Xiao's hatred without any regard for his well-being.
She even disregarded the overall situation of the Netherworld and the Guardians. All she wanted was to take advantage, and nothing else mattered!
With this in mind, Fang Che couldn't let it go easily. He had to seize the opportunity and get what he wanted.
Yes, I want to get rid of Yin Yun Xiao, but not because of your manipulation.
I'll cooperate with you, but you have to follow my plan.
As Fang Che pulled her into his embrace, Lan Xinxue's body trembled slightly, and a hint of shyness flashed through her eyes. She whispered, "Senior Brother Fang, there are still so many people here."
"Why be afraid of the crowd?" Fang Che leaned down and whispered ambiguously in her ear, "Junior Sister, why do you smell so good?"
Before Lan Xinxue could respond, Yin Yun Xiao saw that she was being embraced by Fang Che in front of everyone, like a little bird seeking protection, and he exploded with rage.
"Fang Che, you're asking for death!" Yin Yun Xiao roared as he charged forward with his sword.
But he was immediately stopped by the Elder of the Netherworld Palace. At the same time, Chu Jiang Wang from the Netherworld also shouted, "Quiet!"
Yin Yun Xiao's eyes were already bloodshot. "Master, look at this bastard... It's not that I'm being unreasonable..."
Chu Jiang Wang glanced at Fang Che indifferently and turned away. "With the Yin Yang Realm about to open, what are you causing a ruckus for?"
He acted as if he hadn't seen Fang Che deliberately provoking Yin Yun Xiao.
Fang Che was stunned for a moment.
Something was wrong!
Lan Xinxue also gently struggled, and Fang Che loosened his hold. She was surprised to find herself free and also paused, wanting to lean back into his embrace, but it was too late.
Unable to hold back, she pouted and scolded, "Yin Yun Xiao, you're truly unreasonable!"
She twisted her waist and entered the Netherworld Palace camp.
Fang Che was even more bewildered.
He had a vague feeling that something was amiss.
Yan Bei Han stood to the side, watching with a cold smile, enjoying the spectacle.
Fang Che took two steps closer to Yan Bei Han, "I'm sorry for letting Miss Yan see this."
Yan Bei Han took two steps back, his face filled with disgust. "Don't come near me. You stink."
"This matter is very strange. Miss Yan must know the reason," Fang Che said. He felt that he couldn't make a move until he understood the situation.
"Then let's cooperate first and talk later," Yan Bei Han said. "Once we're inside, if you perform well, I'll explain. Otherwise, you, with your good looks, might just become a crucible for the two of them... Hehe..."
She spoke with disdain, curling her lips in contempt.
Crucible!
Fang Che was startled. Could such a thing really happen? But then he had another thought: If that's the case, why would Yan Bei Han, who doesn't know I'm Night Demon, warn me? Does she still suspect me?
At this moment, Tai Yang Xing Jun began his explanation.
"Most of you already know that the place we're entering is called the Yin Yang Realm. As the name suggests, it is a secret trial realm exclusively for the Heavenly Palace and the Netherworld... However, sometimes, disciples from other sects may also participate. After all, it's not our style to keep all the benefits to ourselves..."
Below, there were over a thousand young disciples listening intently.
The only group that seemed out of place was Fang Che, Yan Bei Han, Feng Yun, and Dong Yun Yu.
The four of them stood apart from the rest, each with a different reaction to Tai Yang Xing Jun's words.
Feng Yun remained composed, and Fang Che's smile didn't falter. Yan Bei Han's eyes flashed with disdain, while Dong Yun Yu's face was filled with mockery.
This was truly shameless boasting.
And they didn't even blush.
If it weren't for us intruding this time, when would you have ever shared?
Moreover, the realm requires the combined fortune energy of various sects to open. How dare you claim it as your own so righteously?
"The Yin Yang Realm appears once every 1,200 years. I hope you can seize this rare opportunity," Tai Yang Xing Jun said.
Tai Yang Xing Jun continued, "As the host, we will take 30% of the items obtained in the Yin Yang Realm as a fee for entering."
"Furthermore, please be cautious of your safety. Once you enter, if you die, it's truly death."
"The rules of the Yin-Yang Realm will be made known to you after you enter. Please strictly abide by the rules."
"This is a trial, and also an adventure. Among you, there are allies, fellow disciples, friends, and even enemies. After entering, you will encounter countless native Yin-Yang Realm demon beasts."
The Sun God spoke, "I wish you all good fortune."
His brief explanation ended there.
It was clear that the disciples of various sects were already well-versed in the rules and other aspects, having been thoroughly taught by their respective elders. The only ones unaware were Fang Che, Feng Yun, and the other three.
The Sun God intentionally left out the details of the rules.
You'll understand if you understand, and not if you don't.
That's your business. In any case, you've already entered.
This was the last resort for the Heavenly Palace and the Netherworld to give their disciples an advantage, and the only trick they could play.
But this trick made Fang Che, Feng Yun, and Yan Bei Han instinctively look down upon the actions of the Heavenly Palace and the Netherworld.
Such petty behavior! No matter if it were the Guardians or the Righteous Sect, if they encountered the same situation, they wouldn't resort to such underhanded methods as the Heavenly Palace.
Even against enemies, I would make things clear.
Life and death, victory and defeat, all depend on one's abilities.
But to set up traps in the rules, what kind of heroics is that? After such a perfunctory explanation, the Sun God fell silent.
This indicated that the introduction was over.
Dong Yun Yu grumbled, "Such an ugly display, I was already confused, and now I'm even more muddled after that explanation..."
"Just stay safe inside, don't worry about the rest."
Fang Che glared at him.
They were about to enter, no need for any more trouble.
Dong Yun Yu muttered and grumbled, his voice low.
"You were just deliberately causing trouble with your jealousy, and now you're blaming me for being nosy... It's like only the officials are allowed to start fires, but the commoners can't light a lamp. I finally managed to get away from that deadbeat Jun He Fang Wu Bing, only to fall into the hands of another useless official..."
Fang Che: "..."
Damn, he made sense, but how could I argue with that? Looking around, the disciples from other sects tried to maintain their composure, but their unease was evident.
Clearly, they were nervous about entering the Yin-Yang Realm.
After all, even with detailed explanations from their elders, this was everyone's first time entering the Yin-Yang Realm.
Upstairs.
Fengyun Qi found it amusing and asked Duan Xi Yang, "With the Heavenly Palace and the Netherworld hiding the rules, won't you say something?"
Duan Xi Yang calmly replied, "At this moment, it's not appropriate to cause unnecessary trouble. Moreover, we who enter are the elite among the talented, and the geniuses among geniuses. If we can't adapt, then dying inside is not a bad thing."
A smile filled with killing intent appeared on his face as he said, "However, the actions of the Heavenly Palace and the Netherworld have sown the seeds of their own downfall."
"Downfall?"
"The Star Deities of the Heavenly Palace and the Sovereigns of the Netherworld will lose a few members this time." Duan Xi Yang's voice was indifferent.
Fengyun Qi sighed, "Your killing intent is still so heavy."
Duan Xi Yang gave a cold smile, "I follow the path of killing, and no one in this world is off-limits. Killing intent is my foundation."
Fengyun Qi rolled his eyes, wanting to ask, "What about your father? Did you kill him too?"
But he wisely chose not to say it, realizing that doing so would likely result in a beating from Duan Xi Yang.
Instead, he just hummed something unintelligible.
Duan Xi Yang remained vigilant and asked, "What did you say?"
"Nothing, I said you did the right thing."
Fengyun Qi enthusiastically invited, "Let's play chess, let's play chess!"
Duan Xi Yang looked at him suspiciously, noticing that he hadn't made a move for a while. Had he just asked about his father? Did I mishear...
...
In the midst of the silence, the eight Star Deities of the Heavenly Palace and the six elders of the Netherworld sat in a circle, simultaneously cultivating their energy.
Gradually, a mysterious aura emerged, suddenly filling the space between heaven and earth in the sky.
At the Four Seas and Eight Corners Tower, the energy of all the gathered people intertwined, forming an invisible circle of fortune. It immediately attracted the mysterious aura in the sky, which then converged and abruptly descended.
In the center of the Four Seas and Eight Corners Tower, a white and black cyclone appeared on the platform, swirling and dancing in the air.
Dots of starlight continuously fell from the cyclone, and the starlight within it grew more and more, gradually glowing brighter, transforming the entire cyclone into a cluster of stars like the Milky Way.
For a moment, everyone was dazzled by the sight.
Especially the girls, whose eyes sparkled with stars, as if competing with the pillar of light.
