Looking at the completely transformed Lotus Pavilion world, Hong Fei was at a loss for what to do. Only eight years had passed since the East Sea War, and the story hadn't even begun. And this world had already become unrecognizable to Hong Fei. What a tragedy!

Seeing that Hong Fei didn't want to face reality, Li Xiangyi kindly said, "You see, the changes in this world are actually quite good. Everyone likes the changes now."

Hongfei nodded weakly. What could she do? She was helpless. How a creature evolves is the world's choice, something Hongfei couldn't control.

“Li Xiangyi, I’ve never asked you before, did you practice swordsmanship before? Now that you’ve joined the Five Poisons Sect, are you used to using their martial arts?” Hong Fei asked Li Xiangyi.

Li Xiangyi smiled at Hong Fei and said, "There's nothing I'm not used to. I've modified the Five Poisons' Gu flute. There's a sword hidden inside the flute, so it's quite convenient to use."

Hong Fei looked at Li Xiangyi in surprise and said, "You can play like that? You're amazing!"

"This inspiration came from the sword hidden in the zither of the Changge Sect. If a sword can be hidden in a zither, why can't a sword be hidden in a flute?" Li Xiangyi said confidently.

Hong Fei looked at the flute in Li Xiangyi's hand and said provocatively, "Since you joined the Five Poisons, I haven't seen you use their martial arts. How about we have a spar today?"

Li Xiangyi raised an eyebrow and said to Hong Fei, "Alright! I'd also like to see just how good your martial arts really are."

Hong Fei and Li Xiangyi arrived at a sea of ​​flowers. The place was spacious enough that their fight would not harm innocent people.

Hong Fei wielded two swords, dancing gracefully. Each sword strike contained the yin and icy power of the Ice Heart Technique, making the surrounding air seem to freeze.

On the other side, Li Xiangyi was dressed in Miao attire, holding a bone flute carved with eerie totems. He parted his thin lips slightly, and the flute played a melodious tune. Instantly, countless colorful poisonous insects surged out of the surrounding flowers, swirling in the air and forming a shadow of death.

Hong Fei's eyes sharpened. She knew the Five Poisons Sect's power and dared not be careless. With a swift movement, her twin swords transformed into two streaks of pink light, weaving together in the air to form an impenetrable net of swords, slaying the swarming poisonous insects one by one.

Just then, Li Xiangyi moved swiftly, appearing beside Hong Fei like a ghost. He drew the sword from his bone flute, wielding it with a fierce swing, unleashing a burst of purple sword energy that shot straight at Hong Fei's face. Hong Fei hurriedly raised her sword to defend, but the distance was too close, and she couldn't dodge in time. Terrified, she quickly unleashed the Seven Show Sect's signature technique—"Butterfly Dance." With a swift turn, she seemed to merge into the surrounding sea of ​​flowers, countless petals fluttering with her dance, forming a dazzling barrier that kept the sword energy at bay.

Seeing this, Li Xiangyi chuckled. The flute-sword in his hand returned to the bone flute, and he played it again. This time, the sound of the bone flute carried a strange sound wave that directly impacted Hong Fei's mind. Su Qing felt a wave of dizziness, and the movement of her twin swords slowed down.

However, at this critical moment, a surge of yin-cold energy suddenly welled up within Su Qing's body—the internal force of the Ice Heart Technique erupting at the crucial instant. She abruptly opened her eyes, a resolute light flashing within them, and swung her twin swords once more. This time, the sword light was infused with yin-cold icy power, shattering the Gu worms and sound waves that tried to approach.

Seeing this, Li Xiangyi remained expressionless, but was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected Hong Fei to recover in such a short time. However, he wasn't one to be trifled with, and immediately unleashed the Five Poisons Sect's ultimate technique—"Ten Thousand Poisons Devouring the Heart." Suddenly, the slain poisonous insects burst forth with intense purple light, then transformed into countless tiny poisonous threads, enveloping Hong Fei.

Hong Fei knew the power of this move, so she quickly circulated her inner energy to protect her entire body. At the same time, she launched a counterattack, her twin swords moving like dragons emerging from the sea, carrying a chilling aura, aiming straight for Li Xiangyi's vital points.

The two exchanged blows, their swords flashing, poisonous insects and flower petals intertwined, the clash of sword energies creating a breathtaking spectacle. Finally, with a deafening roar, both figures retreated simultaneously, each sheathing their weapons and the poisonous insects.

Although the fight ended inconclusively, it allowed both Hong Fei and Li Xiangyi to gain a profound understanding of each other's mastery of their respective schools' martial arts and their adaptability in applying techniques. This exchange gave them a deeper appreciation of each other's skills.

Hong Fei, panting, said to Li Xiangyi, "Your martial arts have improved so quickly! Before you joined the Five Poisons, you couldn't beat me. Now it won't be easy for me to defeat you."

Li Xiangyi wiped the sweat from his face and said to Hong Fei, "There has to be some growth. If there's no growth, then I've joined the Five Poisons for nothing."

"I'm so tired! Let's find a place to rest. Then we can go look around somewhere else and open a few more teleportation arrays while we're at it," Hong Fei said to Li Xiangyi.

“Okay! I’m tired too,” Li Xiangyi said.

Hong Fei and Li Xiangyi arrived in town together, found a restaurant, ordered a table full of good wine and food, and began to eat.

After a satisfying meal, Hong Fei and Li Xiangyi strolled around the town.

Suddenly, a commotion arose ahead, drawing their attention.

As they approached, they discovered a group of people gathered around a stall, discussing something animatedly.

"What happened?" Li Xiangyi stepped forward and asked.

“Young master, you are unaware of this. This man is known as a demigod, capable of knowing the past and the future,” one of them replied.

Upon hearing this, Hong Fei's eyes lit up, and she pulled Li Xiangyi to squeeze to the front of the stall.

"Master, can you tell me when I will find my way home?" Hong Fei asked with great interest.

The fortune teller looked at Hong Fei, closed his eyes, calculated with his fingers, and then slowly said, "Young lady, your fate is full of hardships, and your way home is fraught with difficulties. But as long as you keep your original intention, you will surely find the door home."

After hearing this, Hong Fei nodded as if she had just realized something, and said solemnly, "What you said is truly excellent, Half Immortal. Hearing your words is like hearing a profound truth."

Li Xiangyi, who was trying not to laugh, kept shaking his shoulders. Then he took out a few coins and threw them on the fortune teller's table, and pulled Hong Fei away.

Hong Fei and Li Xiangyi walked quite a distance before stopping to look at each other and bursting into laughter at the same time.

Li Xiangyi pointed at Hong Fei with a grin and said, "I didn't expect you to have a hobby of fortune telling, Hong Fei!"

Hongfei replied humorously, "Only occasionally, only occasionally."
