Open the door, fellow countryman, we are one.

Chapter 71 Long Live the Devil
Valley of Flowers.

The spiritual energy turns into mist, nourishing the growth of all flowers.

The beautiful flowers are in full bloom, and graceful women are taking care of them.

There are pavilions and towers in the valley, and music can be heard, with the sound of zithers and harps, and flowing water under small bridges.

Several young women were fiddling with fruit and spirit wine.

A long rainbow came from afar, and a strange bird cried.

The women looked up and felt a unique heat.

"Open the door to welcome guests." A light figure came among the flowers and looked up at the long rainbow.

The Red Flame Bird dragged the frame down, and Li Yi and Lu Yi walked out, looking at the woman in front of them who was more beautiful than all the flowers.

"Li Yi, the Jinwu Li family." Li Yi bowed.

"Flower Valley, Huaying." The woman bowed slightly and said, "Please come in, sir."

The two walked into the attic. There were five seats in total, one at the top and two on the left and right.

Li Yi sat down in the first seat on the left: "Are there any other guests?"

"Young Master has already met Zhang Jiuling from Yunzhong City, as well as the Buddhist disciple Wuyou from Buddhist Township and fellow Taoist Tunfo from the south." Huaying said softly.

"Buddhist Wuyou, Buddha Tun? Won't these two fight?" Li Yi was speechless. These titles were really conflicting.

"This has nothing to do with us." Huaying smiled and said, "Young Master is in Yunzhong City, escorting Fairy Yuyin. He is a man who sympathizes with fragrance."

"Just old friends." Li Yi asked, "When will they arrive?"

"There's still half an hour left." Huaying frowned slightly when she said this. "I suddenly have something trivial to do. Please wait a moment, sir. I'll be back soon."

"Flower Shadow Fairy, please go away. Lu Yi and I are just enjoying the flowers." Li Yi looked at the flowers outside. They were endless and competing for beauty.

Huaying hurried away and left the attic with a gloomy expression.

She came to the depths of the valley and saw a young girl being tied up by several young women, unable to move.

"Do you know that your actions will bring ruin to Wanhua Valley?" Huaying looked at the girl angrily, his eyes full of disappointment.

The girl said stubbornly, "If I don't do this, it will bring ruin to Wanhua Valley. You don't understand him at all."

"Can't you understand him? You have never left the valley and don't know him. How can you understand him?" Huaying said coldly.

"From what I saw in my mother's womb, he is a demon who will destroy the world," said the girl.

"What nonsense!"

Huaying snorted coldly: "You know nothing. Such despicable means will only breed inner demons and lead you to the devil's way."

"If you don't listen to me, you won't be able to defeat him. He will do anything to protect his destiny." The girl gritted her teeth.

She couldn't say that she had competed with Li Yi in the future and was outwitted by him, right?

"Take her back. Don't let her out before the Ten Thousand Flowers Conference."

Huaying's face turned ashen. "I don't know what opportunities you had in the womb, but you must not say these words again, and you must not use such methods again. Otherwise, even if we are from the same mother, I will not forgive you!"

"Sister, why are you so rigid?" The girl continued to persuade: "I will do all this. If anything happens, I will bear the responsibility myself, even if my soul is scattered. Li Yi is insidious and despicable. It is the truth to strike first."

However, Huaying obviously didn't want to listen. Several women hurriedly dragged her away and whispered to her, "Second Miss, please stop talking. Li Yi is the Golden Crow Prince, and his status is respected. His status is no less than that of the eldest lady."

The girl sighed dejectedly, not knowing why Huaying disagreed with poisoning. As long as she could transform Li Yi into two or three parts of immortal light, Huaying would surely be able to easily defeat him and seize the destiny.

This was something she had been planning for a long time, but Huaying had always been on guard against him and had checked the dishes several times, so she couldn't do anything about it.

Huaying warned, "Keep an eye on Feihong, don't let her run away." "Yes," the women bowed.

Huaying left quickly, and when she returned to the attic, Li Yi and Zhang Jiuling, a young monk, were among the flowers, and Luyi was not around.

Zhang Jiuling and Wuyou Buddhist arrived together, a little early.

After the two sides met, they enjoyed the flowers together.

"Huaying is late and has neglected the two fellow Taoists. You will have to drink three glasses of wine as punishment later." Huaying adjusted her attitude and apologized politely.

"The Ten Thousand Flowers Conference is approaching, and Young Valley Master is busy with affairs. Please don't focus your attention on us idle people."

Zhang Jiuling chuckled: "I heard that there is a prodigy in Wanhua Valley, born with divine power, but is he the Young Valley Master?"

"That's my second sister, Hua Feihong. She has a quiet nature and doesn't like crowds, so she practices in her room." Hua Ying replied.

"In that case, I'm sorry to bother you. I wanted to invite you to discuss philosophy together." Zhang Jiuling felt a little regretful.

Wuyou Buddhist picked up a petal and asked, "Are we the only ones here this time?"

"There is no news from the other few people, so I guess they won't come." Huaying said.

Zhang Jiuling said, "The one who was destined to be the one in Yunzhong City has never appeared, and I don't know him either. I only know that he followed the city lord in cultivation."

"Amitabha, if they don't come, it will be a bit troublesome." A trace of worry appeared on Wuyou Buddhist's face.

"Are you worried about the evil spirits, my friend?" Huaying asked.

"Demon disaster?" Li Yi frowned. "I have been in seclusion in the mountains. I wonder what kind of demon disaster it is?"

"That was formed from a ball of demonic energy that escaped from the Heavenly Palace. Although the Destined Ones of all generations have never been able to break open the Heavenly Gate, they have certainly created a crack."

Wuyou Buddhist disciple said, "After that evil energy escaped from the Heavenly Palace, it corrupted millions of lives, killing and injuring countless cultivators. Although it was sealed by the predecessors, many of the corrupted cultivators escaped and transformed into demons."

Those demons went into the dark, killed living beings, used the blood and internal organs of living beings to practice martial arts, and some were even able to devour the immortal light.

Over the years, various forces have encircled and suppressed them more than once, but have failed to eliminate them.

"Not long ago, a demonic sound was heard. It must be a great demon summoning them."

Wuyou Buddhist disciple said: "I have been ordered to invite the one who is destined by heaven to kill the demon together."

"Heaven's will can restrain evil spirits. If we encounter a big demon, it will be easier to capture it." Zhang Jiuling continued.

"It is my duty to kill the demon." Li Yi said.

Hua Ying remembered Hua Feihong's words and couldn't help but look at Li Yi. Could he be related to the evil spirit?

But on second thought, it seemed impossible. If it was related to demonic energy, the Jinwu Li family would have killed him long ago.

Moreover, when Li Yi mentioned slaying demons, he did not show any wrong emotions.

"In that case, after the Ten Thousand Flowers Conference, we will go together to solve the demonic disaster." Huaying said.

"Okay, I will also send a message back and ask Yunzhong City to send people to help." Zhang Jiuling replied.

Li Yi also agreed and would send a message to his family. He then asked, "The Heavenly Palace has existed for who knows how many years. Could it be that the evil spirit has always been living in the Heavenly Palace? How many years has it been?"

"That demonic energy has already acquired intelligence. It should be a demonic soul. There's no way to verify its exact age, but it's at least over ten thousand years old."

Wuyou Buddhist disciple said: "There must be the secret of immortality within the Heavenly Palace. This is why we are eager to break into the Heavenly Palace."

Immortality!

If Li Yi had not experienced two eras, he would really believe, like them, that the Heavenly Palace had the secret of immortality.

But in the future, everything here will be gone, and there will be no heavenly palace, so how can there be immortality?
