In a few days, Li Tuo will come to report the situation.

The demonic cultivators killed many of the martial arts cultivators who had launched a sneak attack on the demonic capital.

Later, these demonic cultivators began to take prisoners instead of killing, and more and more martial cultivators were captured, causing the Heavenly Palace's morale to decline.

Having lost every time they went out, Wu Xiu was starting to feel a growing dissatisfaction with Liu Yu and his group, and internal conflicts began to arise within the command group led by Liu Yu.

Liu Yu finally couldn't sit still any longer, so he went to Shang Yanting.

"I want those martial arts practitioners you still control."

He had only recently learned that Yan Qing possessed an extremely powerful group of martial artists. This group consisted of only fifty or sixty people, but each member was at the Martial King realm—the strongest force in the Heavenly Palace!

"I was wondering why you gave up your seat so quickly back then. So you were waiting for me here."

Liu Yu felt cheated, and his anger was palpable. "If you hadn't deliberately hidden these martial arts practitioners, how could we have kept losing in our fight against the demonic cultivators!"

It's all his fault!

"That's just sophistry."

Li Tuo, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore. Even he could manage the Heavenly Palace for several days. Liu Yu was simply incompetent himself, yet he shamelessly blamed others.

Do you have the right to interrupt me?

Liu Yu was not only shameless, but also arrogant. He treated Li Tuo the same way he treated his students at Yimeng Academy.

Upon hearing this, Niu Chuanchuan stepped forward, rolled up his sleeves, revealing his faintly visible Kui Niu tattoo, and said, "Who do you think you are? Want to go outside and have a go at it?"

Even when beating a dog, one should consider its owner. The fact that he dared to yell at Li Tuo like that clearly shows he didn't take Shang Yanting seriously.

Regardless of status, might makes right.

Niu Chuanchuan doesn't respect anyone except Yan Qing.

"You...you dare to do this!"

Liu Yu, enraged, pointed at Niu Chuanchuan and shouted, "Yan Qing, how can you allow your subordinates to be so arrogant?!"

"I prefer peace and quiet in my bedchamber, so please don't speak so loudly."

Shang Yanting took a sip of tea and glanced at him indifferently. "I will allow you to have a friendly spar with him."

Yan Qing's previous act of relinquishing power made him think that although this person was very powerful, he was easy to manipulate. In any case, he should at least give him, the current head of the Heavenly Palace, some face.

I never expected him to show me no respect at all!

Liu Yu was furious with these two people who had committed the offense, but he was indeed hesitant to actually fight them.

Li Tuo was alright, but this man surnamed Niu, true to his name, was a fierce general under Yan Qing. He had made great contributions in repelling the demonic cultivators' four attacks on the Heavenly Palace each time.

"I tried to reason with you politely, but you just shouted for violence! You brute!"

Liu Yu not only failed to obtain the power he desired, but also suffered a humiliating defeat. He immediately decided to return and personally write a letter of divorce to his grandmaster, Mo Hongyun, to accuse Yan Qing.

They bully others by abusing their power and collude with demonic cultivators!

##

After driving Liu Yu away, Shang Yanting returned to the house.

On the bed, there were two talismans placed on either side of the raccoon.

She lay in bed every day, and the only people she could see were Shang Yanting, Li Tuo, and Niu Niu.

It's so boring.

So she recently found a new pastime—long phone conversations.

Once the sound transmission talisman is released, one can hear the voice from the other side.

"Oh, right. I don't know what that Liu Yu was thinking. He seems a bit slow-witted."

"He wanted to bully the host, but Niu Niu scared him away."

...

"Oh, my dear Xue'er friend, I miss you and your Binglu so much! The conditions for demon cultivators are not good. The food and drink are very rough, and there is no place where it snows."

The raccoon tilted its head and talked about this side one minute, and that side the next, looking very busy.

Who are you talking to?

Shang Yanting felt a little strange upon hearing this unfamiliar form of address.

"The Nineteenth Senior Brother and the Snow Maiden."

Jia Xitong put the talisman to her lips and made calls randomly. Whoever answered, she would talk to. The two people she drew in the past few days were her nineteenth senior brother, who was changing the back pocket of the Iron Egg Flower, and the Snow Maiden, who was far away in the snowy region.

Upon hearing this title, Shang Yanting instantly recalled the female cultivator he had encountered in the snowy region during his search for the Heavenly Ginseng Fruit, who had been hurt by a heartless man.

Thinking of this person, he was slightly taken aback, not expecting that Xitong would be chatting with someone so completely unrelated using a communication talisman.

No, the key question is, how did she come to have a sound transmission talisman?

Shang Yanting looked at the raccoon on the bed.

"Want to chat too? Come on!"

Misunderstanding Jia Xitong gestured for him to stand over, then said to the talisman on the Snow Maiden's face, "Snow Maiden friend, my host is back, he's right next to me."

Jia Xitong spoke lightly, but her words caused the person opposite her to fall silent for a moment.

The Snow Maiden... is very afraid of Shang Yanting.

She still can't forget the way he pulled her out of the snow cave, looking like he was about to kill her.

Moreover, he is now a well-known genius in the martial arts world, the youngest Martial Emperor realm cultivator in history, and the dean of Dingtian Academy.

The series of titles made her seem unattainable. When Xue Nu was suddenly notified by Jia Xitong that she needed to talk to him, she was completely at a loss for words.

"Senior Yan... Hello, Dean."

A cautious voice came from the other end. Shang Yanting glanced at the raccoon on the boat and then replied, "Hello."

Xue Nu ran out of words and suddenly didn't know how to continue chatting with Yan Qing.

Finally, Shang Yanting broke the deadlock, asking, "How is your cultivation now? Has it improved?"

"Reporting to the senior, I have always been dull-witted. Although I have cultivated diligently, my cultivation has only made a small progress, which is as insignificant as a drop in the ocean."

Pitfall 1: The male lead knew Wan Zhi's purpose, and initially he was just acting alone.

Pitfall 2: Now it's just the male lead and Bai Yu Zhenjun acting together.

Pitfall 3: Wan Zhi is very strong, but he is already at the Martial Venerable level. To reach that position, he needs a special opportunity. His opportunity is not faith, but killing.

Instead of killing themselves, they started wars.

The male protagonist discovers its extreme power and, from subtle clues, realizes that it is intentionally provoking a war.

Pitfall 4. The male protagonist's original plan was to seize power, kill all the demonic cultivators, and consider demonic power to be dispensable to him. Then the plan changed to killing the biggest threat, Wan Zhi.

Pit 5. Wan Zhi is extremely powerful and almost unkillable; he can even bring a pile of bones back to life.

The trigger for the killing: to kill a person, you must first destroy their spirit—the bone Jia Xitong picked up. It told him he was destined never to become a god! Heaven had given him a path to death, not a path to godhood (he dreamt that the original world's male protagonist became a god).

1. The cultivators caused a great disturbance, and someone seized power.

The incompetent group was sent back by the demonic cultivators, and they started giving nonsensical orders.

Consequences: Countless martial arts practitioners were killed or injured.

Jia Xitong complained to Uncle Karl by venting her frustrations.

The martial arts practitioner used his strength to calculate that the demon was causing trouble. Killing Wan Zhi first was the right thing to do.

During this time (the male protagonist cultivates and sees in a dream how Shang Yanting from the original novel killed Wan Zhi, and Shang Yanting from the original novel discovers a clue).
