    “So it’s a consumable.”


    “No wonder you don’t seem to care.”


    Looking at the joy in Fallen Phoenix Daoist’s eyes, Mei Changge knew that he had suffered a loss. However, when he thought of the jade slip, he did not take it seriously.


    After all, the Grade 9 pce was not worth much in his eyes.


    Now, not only did he know about the Sea of Heavens but he also knew that there was an item here that could unlock rare treasures.


    This was a good thing for him.


    After all, once a treasure recognized someone as its master, there was no way to undo it. This was also why he refrained from using his methods to enhance the treasure and sell it again. After all, the owner recognition couldn’t be removed.


    But now that he had the Separation Stone, he didn’t need to use his methods anymore.


    He had been coveting the benefits of using destiny points to upgrade a treasure and then selling it at a high price for a long time. “Since the deal is done, I’ll be leaving now!”


    Mei Changge stood up, his eyes calm.


    As for why so many foreign races gathered in Fallen Phoenix City and got along peacefully, he was interested.


    But after he looked behind the Phoenix Residence and sensed a powerful and fluctuating aura there, he knew the reason behind it.


    “Okay, see you!”


    Fallen Phoenix Daoist nodded with a smile.


    Mei Changge was satisfied with this transaction.


    On the other hand, Fallen Phoenix Daoist’s gazended on Mei Changge, her eyes filled with desire.


    She could sense that Mei Changge should have more than one treasure.


    As for attacking, she was not Mei Changge’s match.


    “Kill him!”


    Suddenly, a voice sounded in Fallen Phoenix Daoist’s mind. Then, Fallen Phoenix Daoist’s eyes were lifeless as if she had lost consciousness.


    At this moment, Mei Changge had walked out of the pavilion with his back facing Fallen Phoenix Daoist.


    Whoosh!


    A fiery red sword light suddenly appeared, heading straight for Mei Changge’s heart.


    The moment he attacked, he would kill.


    “I thought you wouldn’t attack!”


    Mei Changge’s eyes were calm. He clenched his fist and a golden lotus appeared, protecting his body.


    As for the sword light, it assaulted the protective golden lotus but couldn’t advance even an inch.


    “As expected, you’ve already discovered me!”


    A coarse voice emanated from Fallen Phoenix Daoist. The contrast between her appearance and the roughness of her voice was striking.


    “I’ve noticed your existence since I entered the Phoenix Residence.”


    “And I’m surprised a Transcendent like you managed to suppress such a huge city.”


    Mei Changge said slowly with a calm expression.


    p! p!


    The sound of apuse echoed from behind the Phoenix Residence. Soon, a tall figure emerged. His aura was subdued, and his appearance bore a striking resemnce to that of a human. Between his eyebrows, there was a mark resembling a bolt of lightning.


    No, or rather, a single eye, though it remained shut.


    “As expected of an expert from the stargate. It seems that you have reached the Immortal realm after the world shattered.


    “Your world’s level isn’t as low as I thought!”


    “My name is Thousandde Fiend. I’m from the Fiend Eye race. Do you want to follow me?”


    Thousandde Fiend slowly lowered his hands and said with an admiring expression.


    To be able to reach the Immortal realm in the stargate meant that the world was at least level four.


    Furthermore, he was a genius among them.


    This made Thousandde Fiend reveal a look of admiration.


    In the Sea of Heavens, there were many Immortal experts. However, he had investigated and there was no leader of any faction on the isted ind where Fallen Phoenix City was. Or rather, the winner had yet to be decided.


    If he could be the master of a faction, he would also embark on the path of conquest. At that time, Destiny would descend upon him and his cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds.


    It was better than hiding on this isted ind.


    If he were lucky, he would be epted by a faction. If he were unlucky, he might die under the siege of the ferocious beasts.


    And the ind would be destroyed with no survivors.


    That’s right, the Sea of Heavens was not a peaceful ce either.


    When the various worlds fused into it, they would be isted inds. These isted inds would suffer the attacks of the ferocious beasts overseas.


    A faction master was the superior existence in the Sea of Heavens.


    “Follow you?”


    Mei Changge smiled. A person hiding behind the scenes was not worthy of his following. Moreover, the realm of the Fiend Eye race was the same as him. He was in the Immortal realm and might only be two realms higher than him.


    “Looks like you’re a stubborn one. In that case, I’ll make you fodder for the Phoenix Residence!”


    Hearing Mei Changge’s disdainful words, Thousandde Fiend was not angry.


    It was as if he knew that he would be rejected.


    Then, his body emitted a gray fog that wrapped around the entire Phoenix Residence.


    As for Fallen Phoenix Daoist, who was being controlled in the distance, her eyes had regained their focus. There was still panic in her eyes.


    She never anticipated there was a foreign race concealed within her mansion, let alone that they could manipte her as if she were a puppet.


    “Impossible! This is my mansion!”


    Fallen Phoenix Daoist eximed in disbelief when she saw that the Phoenix Residence had changed drastically.


    The Phoenix Residence was no longer as elegant as before.


    As if enveloped by dark clouds, the entire residence emitted waves of evil aura.


    “Yours? Isn’t yours mine?”


    The corners of Thousandde Fiend’s lips curled up slightly. Then, he tapped his finger lightly. In the next second, Fallen Phoenix Daoist seemed to have been struck by lightning as her eyes were enveloped by a gray fog.


    With light footsteps, Fallen Phoenix Daoist slowly walked out of the residence.


    “This is my toy. I won’t let you break it!”


    Upon hearing Thousandde Fiend’s words, Mei Changge’s eyes were calm and he did not care.


    He was just a Transcendent, so he was not particrly concerned. Since the establishment of the Green Lotus Dynasty, countless foreign races died in his hands.


    “If you submit to me now, I might spare your life.”


    Thousandde Fiend looked at Mei Changge’s calm expression and spoke again.


    “You’re not worthy. Use whatever other methods you have.”


    “Or rather, with the toy you’re talking about?”


    Mei Changge said softly. Now, he finally knew the real reason why many foreign races could coexist in Fallen Phoenix City.


    Or rather, he had discovered Thousandde Fiend’s reliance.


    At that moment, outside the Phoenix Residence, auras soared into the sky. All kinds of races had their eyes invaded by gray fog.


    They were all staring at the Phoenix Residence.


    Different auras were connected, forming a strange spiritual formation.


    “Hehe, it’s toote for you to leave now!”


    The corners of Thousandde Fiend’s mouth curled up as he ced his hands in front of him. Then, hebined his palms. Endless gray fog gathered behind him, forming a huge and strange scene.


    “Fiend Eye Dharma, attack!”


    The evil aura behind Thousandde Fiend surged and gathered all the evil aura in Phoenix City..
