“Good!”
“Good!”
“Good!!!”
Blood Phoenix Sage Ruler laughed in extreme anger. She floated in the high altitudes and shouted “Good!” three times!
She had originally believed Fan Li’s meticulous schemes at Dragon God Palace was already the limit of his capabilities. Yet she hadn’t expected Fan Li to be so ambitious that he had actually plotted against all four groups from Blazing Fire Sect!?
Wasn’t it supposed to be Blazing Fire Sect exterminating the Fan clan? How did it turn into the Fan clan exterminating Blazing Fire Sect now???
This clearly far exceeded Fan Li’s capabilities. With the Fan clan’s resources and strength, it was simply impossible to accomplish!
However, relying on his advantage in intelligence and making use of all available resources, it seemed he had succeeded in his layout!
“If This Sage Ruler departs now, no matter which side I assist, I can foil your arrangements.” In the empty space up high, Blood Phoenix Sage Ruler looked down with an arrogant gaze that viewed all living beings as beneath her, mocking Fan Li below her.
This was the absolute disparity in strength!
What use was Fan Li’s four-way trap?
Blood Phoenix Sage Ruler had absolute confidence. If she immediately turned back now to take action, she could at least save two of the groups!
Peach Blossom Woods where her daughter was, she could save Nanguang Zhi!
The manor where her useless husband was, she could save him too!
As for the southern mountains group, although it consisted of Blazing Fire Sect’s entire elite disciples led by an Elder, they still weren’t as important as her daughter and husband. She could only save whatever survivors were left at the end.
“The Sage Ruler jests.”
“Since this official has already perfectly arranged everything, I naturally won't allow the Sage Ruler to leave.”
Blood Phoenix Sage Ruler's eyes flashed a trace of cold light! “Do you think Wu Gang alone can obstruct me?”
Fan Li nodded. “She indeed can’t stop you, which is why the Marquis of Wenxin has to make a move.”
As Fan Li’s voice faded, the protective barrier formed from Annals of Lü Buwei once again rapidly expanded over tenfold!
This time, it didn’t just cover Dragon God Palace’s main hall. The entire temple grounds were enveloped inside. The protective shield instantly transformed into a cage!
Including Fan Li, Blood Phoenix Sage Ruler, Lü Chunqiu and Wu Gang inside, everyone was temporarily trapped by Annals of Lü Buwei.
Blood Phoenix Sage Ruler cried out in shock, “Are you seeking death!?”
She wasn’t wrong. The cage formed by Annals of Lü Buwei could only briefly restrain her. Breaking free wouldn’t be too difficult for the Sage Ruler.
Even under Lü Chunqiu and Wu Gang’s joint attack, Blood Phoenix Sage Ruler still had absolute confidence in escaping. It would just consume a bit more time.
The problem was that Fan Li had now lost his protection and was in extreme danger. Blood Phoenix Sage Ruler was truly impatient to make her move. She no longer wanted to waste time chatting with Fan Li and prepared to directly attack!

“This official has always been one who cherishes life. How could I actively seek death when gentlemen do not stand beneath crumbling walls?”
Yet Fan Li’s voice sounded from outside Dragon God Palace. Despite the giant barrier formed by Annals of Lü Buwei, his voice was still somewhat muffled.
Blood Phoenix Sage Ruler glanced over in shock and indeed saw another Fan Li! Just what was going on? There were two Fan Lis inside and outside Dragon God Palace? Could he have a twin?
Blood Phoenix Sage Ruler didn’t believe it. With a single look, she could see through any Foundation Realm weakling.
But the Fan Li inside Dragon God Palace was clearly real too!
What kind of evil arts was this that could even deceive her?
Blood Phoenix Sage Ruler was now thoroughly enraged!
She finally admitted that she had been completely schemed against by Fan Li to an almost irredeemable extent.
The Sage Ruler resentfully said, “Your schemes are truly meticulous! But the minor injuries I sustained from Wu Gang’s sneak attack earlier, I’ve completely recovered from it after dragging out time until now. Within a single incense stick's time, I will definitely break free from confinement. Fan Li, be prepared to be targeted for assassination day and night in the future!”
Without spouting some ruthless words, Blood Phoenix Sage Ruler couldn't quell the resentment in her heart.
She also believed successfully saving the three groups would now be extremely difficult. Her husband and daughter would likely suffer injuries or casualties.
Yet Fan Li only smiled. “Dragging out time? Has the Sage Ruler lost her mind? While you’re stalling for time, can’t I also stall for time? If something happens to the other three groups, reinforcements will come rushing over to Dragon God Palace.”
Blood Phoenix Sage Ruler didn’t believe him. “Do you take Blazing Fire Sect for pushovers? Nanguang Yan has already reached the Unity Realm Great Perfection while the other Elders and Disciples are all elites!”
Fan Li nodded then shook his head. “Aside from a Holy Land like Brahma Sound Pure Land, Blazing Fire Sect can be considered a top sect. But this official opened Great Chu’s national treasury and provided the best equipment, weaponry, pills and elixirs for the ambush troops. I even borrowed some treasures from the Imperial Vault on His Majesty’s behalf. If our own strength isn’t enough, we’ll make up for it with equipment. I ask the Sage Ruler to believe Blazing Fire Sect's three groups will definitely be swiftly defeated...”
Before Fan Li had even finished speaking, Blood Phoenix Sage Ruler was suddenly bathed in blood radiance!
Wings unfurled from her back as she resembled a descending celestial, exuding a dense bloody aura of slaughter.
Secret technique – Blood Fairy!
Blood Phoenix Sage Ruler with her blood goddess descent glared at Fan Li outside the cage with eyes brimming with killing intent.
The first person she would kill after breaking out was him!
This battle wouldn’t last long. Fan Li wouldn't even have the chance to flee Peng City.
Lü Chunqiu was also marked for death!
The previously neutral Lü clan for thousands of years actually dared assist Fan Li right now!
As for Wu Gang, she was a woman yet acknowledged a despicable man as master. Truly humiliating to all women in the world! She must die as well!
The Sage Ruler coldly said, “Wu Gang, Teacher Lü, attack together! With your cultivations, at most you can barely make the current me get somewhat serious. Within a hundred exchanges, you will undoubtedly die!”
How could the power unleashed from fifty years of lifespan be insignificant?
Since there was no chance left to save the three groups, she would vent this frustrating anger with their deaths!
Lü Chunqiu bowed to the Sage Ruler and slowly said, “The Sage Ruler’s brilliance, Teacher Lü sincerely admires it from the bottom of my heart. It’s only a pity that Lord Fan's schemes today are flawless. He predicted the Sage Ruler would have a secret technique capable of vastly increasing strength, but there would naturally be equally great hidden dangers. Thus, Lord Fan instructed me beforehand. Teacher Lü and Fellow Daoist Wu need only entangle and stall the Sage Ruler until the backlash from your secret technique erupts before carrying out the true decisive battle.
Teacher Lü possesses my inherited family treasure Annals of Lü Buwei. This supreme defensive treasure can ensure my safety.
Although Fellow Daoist Wu Gang is currently alone, Lord Fan already drew out the battle armor of the Overlord from the Imperial Vault. This battle armor is enough to preserve Wu Gang’s life.”
After Lü Chunqiu finished speaking, he couldn’t help glancing towards Fan Li’s true body outside Dragon God Palace.
He felt a trace of terror well up in his heart. This man was likely the first in all of history, an inconceivable existence that could assassinate Great Vehicle Realm experts at the Foundation Realm!
Lü Chunqiu still remembered when Fan Li explained his arrangements previously, he complained like this:
“It's a pity that the Overlord Spear has a bloodline restriction, otherwise I would've borrowed that for Wu Gang to use too.”
As the Blood Phoenix Sage Ruler listened to Lü Chunqiu's words, a chilling sensation ran down her spine. The depth of Fan Li's cunning had reached such a level?
She subconsciously glanced at her own body. While activating the powerful force of the "Blood Fairy," it continuously drew upon her life source.
After this battle, even if she managed to survive by some miracle, it seemed that her chances of ascending in this lifetime were bleak...
