How embarrassing!

Liu Ruyan looked at Li Fan with a resentful expression and silently put on the dress she had taken off.

The strange thoughts that had been swirling in my mind gradually subsided.

The word "cooperation" gradually brought her back to her senses.

It is truly rare for such a word to come from the mouth of a chaotic being.

At least in the past, the chaotic beings she encountered had no intention of cooperating at all.

Either I kill you, or you kill me; there is no third option.

Liu Ruyan whispered, "You're all dressed!"

"I plan to go back with you and help you make the Liu family bigger and stronger."

In this process, I need chaotic energy, or rather, treasures related to chaos.

"ah?"

Liu Ruyan was shocked.

Could such words come from a chaotic being?

So harmonious, so reasonable, and with such favorable conditions?

Is the energy of chaos valuable?

It's not worth a single penny!

Throughout the entire Chaotic Ancient Domain, the chaotic energy is something to be avoided like the plague.

The easiest way is to pack up the Chaos Qi and throw it into the home of your mortal enemy.

Of course, very few people do this.

It's not because everyone is very civic-minded, nor because it's a customary rule, but simply because of the uncontrollable nature of the chaotic energy.

Who can guarantee that this thing won't explode on the way? And who can guarantee that carrying so much chaotic energy won't attract the attention of chaotic beings?

So the best existing method is to bury this thing.

During the process of being buried, the world can decompose.

If you want to speed up this process, all you have to do is sacrifice human lives.

"Give me an answer, is it okay or not!"

Li Fan tapped Liu Ruyan's head with the word "annihilation".

Of course, there's a second half to that statement.

If you're a good ally, you're an ally; if you're not, we'll kill you.

Negotiations are a matter of life and death. If we can reach an agreement, great; if not, we'll sentence you to death.

"Great, that's fantastic!"

Liu Ruyan looked at Li Fan, wishing she could hug him and kiss him.

How could these be chaotic beings? This event is a blessing bestowed upon the Liu family by the Heavenly Dao.

He's tough and resilient, handsome, emotionally stable, a highly intelligent and cunning man who doesn't find pleasure in killing, and fearless of the chaotic energy.

What could be more reassuring than an ally like this?

"Then let's get going! You still remember the way back, right?"

Li Fan glanced at the wrecked immortal ship.

"Remember!"

Liu Ruyan reached out and pulled out a piece of unknown animal hide, on which flames stretched and spread in one direction.

"Why does this thing look like soul fire?"

Li Fan frowned slightly.

He had lit the Soul Flame in Heigouzi City, so he naturally recognized its aura.

"The Soul Fire guides the way, a method used to anchor the location in the Chaotic Ancient Domain."

The creature this route points to is none other than the Willow God, the guardian deity of my Willow family. By following the direction of the soul fire, we will eventually reach the Willow Realm.

At this point, Liu Ruyan seemed to have thought of something and asked, "You didn't leave your soul fire with any faction, did you?"

"I left behind some."

Li Fan thought for a moment and added, "But that force is gone!"

Both Heigouzi City and the Black Stone Clan were wiped out.

His soul fire record is practically impossible to exist.

Besides, he was just a nobody when he was on file; who would have noticed him?

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief, then widened her eyes and asked, "You didn't do this, did you?"

"Don't worry, I'm a peace-loving person."

Generally speaking, I prefer to reason things out.

Of course, if reasoning doesn't work, I also have some martial arts skills.

Li Fan grinned, revealing a sunny and cheerful smile like that of a big, cheerful boy.

She should understand what I'm saying!

Besides, I've always acted reasonably. If the Blackrock family doesn't provoke me, how could I possibly destroy them... wait, did the Blackrock family provoke me? It seems they didn't.

Oh well, they can only blame their bad luck!

Seeing the increasingly twisted smile on Li Fan's face, Liu Ruyan broke out in a sweat.

Do I really know him well enough?

No, I have to try again.

We can't just believe everything he says; we need to see if he's willing to help the Liu family get through this ordeal first.

After careful consideration, Liu Ruyan said, "Fellow Daoist Li, the current situation of my Liu family is not optimistic."

The tung oil we purchased in Tongcheng this time is part of the quota to be traded to the business alliance.

If we fail to deliver the goods, my Liu family may gradually be marginalized and eventually replaced.

All the tung oil is with my younger brother now, so we need to meet up with him first. He's currently at the Paradise Palace.

Li Fan asked, "Can you locate the Paradise Pavilion?"

"We can't locate it. There's an array above the Bliss Pavilion that can block the detection of the Soul Fire!"

However, I told my younger brother to find a chance to leave the Paradise House.

Once he's out of the array's sensing range, his whereabouts will be displayed here.

"Alright, then let's find your brother first!"

......

In Liujie, the ancestral home of the Ye family, the faces of the Ye family leaders were solemn.

The third son is dead, and the ancestor is dead too.

How could this happen? Can anyone tell me why this is happening?

Ye Zhenglong, the head of the Ye family, had a gloomy expression, and was more shocked than angry.

"Chieftain, what should we do now?"

Someone couldn't help but ask.

"Since we've already decided to break off all ties, there's no turning back."

Even if it means becoming their puppet, we must first wipe out the Liu family!

Ye Zhenglong said fiercely.

......

"Master, is it comfortable?"

The woman's voice was as soft as water, and her warm breath was as passionate as fire.

The man holding her in his arms groped her all over, grinning as he said, "Comfortable, very comfortable!"

Rumble—

Just then, a deafening roar erupted.

The large array in the room where the two were located caused ripples to spread.

Immediately following was a voice filled with rage.

"Who dares to cause trouble in the Blissful Abode? You're asking for death!"

True energy soars upwards, while vital energy and blood surge forth in overwhelming force.

The Nine Heavens Palace is surrounded by towering peaks and overlapping mountains.

The ninth-level expert was dressed in golden armor, looking like a god descending to earth.

He was holding a gun in his hand, and with a swing of the spear, he tore open the cave from which the explosion had come.

So strong!

Qin Sanlong stopped what he was doing, his eyes gleaming as he looked toward the source of the battle.

This Paradise Palace is truly extraordinary.

Leaving aside the powerful figures who remained hidden in the shadows, the person who appeared was no ordinary person from the ninth level of the Heavenly Palace.

Even he wasn't confident he could take down this person one-on-one.

Fortunately, he wasn't the one leading the charge this time.

......

Inside the torn-open cave, sat a lean man.

As the spear fell from the sky, the man reached out and grabbed the long sword lying beside him.

The moment he gripped the long sword, the lean man's aura changed drastically.

He was originally an ordinary person, but he became like a prehistoric beast, his violent killing intent bursting out like a torrent.

Clang—

The long sword was drawn, shattering the shadow of the spear.

The man raised his long sword and pointed it in the direction of the golden-armored deity: "The Anti-King Alliance is handling this matter. Those who have nothing to do with it, get lost!"
