He was shocked, while Yan Youying on the side was terrified.

Ninth Level. Breaking through the Silent Fortress. Either of these two things would make people think it was a joke.

But looking at the seriousness on his father's face at this time, and the elite family members who followed.

"Father."

"No time for nonsense. You leave immediately. The head of the family wants you to bring Xin Cai home as soon as possible, and then contact Tianming through her." Yan Wenhan said in a deep voice.

"But the Zhao family..." Yan Youying hadn't reacted yet.

"That's not important. Losing two eighth-level experts and ten percent of the shares in the Myriad Worlds Business Alliance, the Zhao family will be lucky if they don't fall out of the Nine Orders. Do you really think the Great Order only has our nine great noble families? There are too many people waiting for a position below." Yan Wenhan explained.

Yan Youying's face turned pale, the electric arc in her eyes dissipated, leaving only confusion and shock.

She didn't know how, but suddenly, the situation seemed to have completely changed.

Completely different from what she had expected.

"But aren't they Dead Enders?!"

"A ninth-level Dead Ender wouldn't have much difficulty killing you and me." Yan Wenhan said lightly. "Besides, there has never been a ninth-level Dead Ender before. Now, who dares to be sure that Tianming will not become the first person to completely break away from the Dead End?"

"Prepare to leave." He said.

"Yes!!" Yan Peng's eyes were bright, and he finally managed to digest the information he had just received. His mood became indescribable.

Chao Yu, Li Family Mansion.

"If snow and reeds are born together, autumn winds blow, then leaves fall like rain, winter's meaning comes." Li Yuan stood with his hands behind his back in the middle of the courtyard, watching the projected light screen floating in the air.

The battle between Tianming and Black Phoenix on the light screen had ended more than ten minutes ago, but he was still reluctant to leave.

"Great chaos is coming, and the cold is coming one after another. It's getting more and more chaotic recently."

All the chaos, like snow and rain, came one after another, but when they landed, they melted into one, hiding a huge crisis.

The victory or defeat of Tianming and Black Phoenix was just one episode.

"Head of the family, in Dongshan Province, the three adults from the search team have been out of contact for three hours. Now their whereabouts are unknown. Shadow Eater has not only not hidden, but has publicly sent a letter to the Taiyi Palace, demanding the surrender of the four members of the Moral Ethics Committee who are hiding there. In exchange, they will release the three eighth-level generals in their hands."

Li Changgu, who was beside him, bowed. Since his daughter Li Chongnan became a disciple of Tianming, his position in the Li family has also risen, and now he often follows the head of the family, Li Yuan, as an assistant and secretary.

"What does His Majesty mean?" Li Yuan sighed.

"His Majesty has agreed. The Taiyi Palace doesn't care about the people of the Moral Ethics Committee. If they can use the lives of those four people in exchange for the appeasement of Shadow Eater, His Majesty will definitely hand them over."

Shadow Eater's strength and concealment were too strong. The three eighth-level searchers were captured instantly, and it seemed that they were still constantly strengthening.

This was obviously a serious hidden danger.

For the Taiyi Palace, no matter if you are a black sea creature, or any other individual, as long as you can be used by them, that person doesn't care.

"That's right... After all, this is not the first time this has happened..." Li Yuan couldn't help but recall what happened many years ago, when it was the same...

"An Du... is the territory of Dong Jun and Master Ding Meng. With Dong Jun in charge, there won't be a big problem. Now that a strong enemy is in front of us and the situation is糜烂, it is the time to employ people. It is normal for His Majesty to make such a decision." He said softly.

"Then our Li family..." Li Changgu asked softly.

"Didn't Xiao Nan go to see Tianming? This matter is beneficial to us, so don't worry about it. Just wait and see." Li Yuan closed his eyes and said no more.

Seeing this, Li Changgu quietly retreated.

Whoosh!

In the sky above Fengnan Province, a black trajectory streaked across the sky, like a shooting star, and fell rapidly into the suburbs.

The suburbs, Yong'an Garden.

Li Cheng颐 put away the Flower Scale Armor on his body, and his toes landed gently.

He looked up at the gate of the manor, where the doors were open, and the people from the Destiny Garden came out one by one.

Big Bear, Rainbow Candy, Little Brown, Dragon Gate Crane, and finally Syndra.

Everyone looked at him with amazement and shock.

For ordinary people, there is only one level difference between the eighth level and the ninth level, but only insiders know that under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible for the eighth level to be promoted to the ninth level.

Because the so-called ninth level is simply a monster built up with national resources and energy.

But now... the absolute invincibility of the monster has been broken.

"Everyone, pack up and prepare to go to An Du with me." Li Cheng颐 said solemnly.

"Taiyi Palace?" Syndra asked.

"Yes." Li Cheng颐 nodded, "We've worked so hard for so long, it's time for us to reap the rewards."

"Where's Paine? Why haven't I seen him for so long?" He suddenly remembered this Dead Ender savior he had brought back.

"A few days ago, he was seriously injured while helping a Dead Ender find a way to escape, and he is still recovering." Big Bear replied.

"He is much busier than us adults. So far, more than a hundred Dead Enders have received his life-saving grace. And they are all powerful elites, from all walks of life, many of whom are foreigners.

Moreover, the escape method that Paine found for us also helped other people who entered the same Dead End. So everyone appreciates him."

"Then let him heal his wounds." Li Cheng颐 nodded, and he looked at Syndra, "Because of nationality, is it okay for Mr. Syndra to stay and take charge?"

"Leave it to me." Syndra nodded.

"In addition, this time the Myriad Worlds Business Alliance will transfer shares to me. When the time comes, I will borrow the channels of the Myriad Worlds to trouble Mr. to help me find all these materials. Of course, if there are any that are not available, you can skip them."

Li Cheng颐 handed over a list of carved spheres.

Death Energy, carved spheres, plus training to the limit, these three conditions are the three elements to obtain the Carving.

"Next, we will leave tomorrow afternoon. Everyone go back and prepare." Li Cheng颐 instructed.

"Yes!"

Everyone said in unison.

Compared with before, everyone at this time obviously had a special temperament.

It was a special feeling formed by the fusion of confidence and hope.

Leaving Yong'an Garden, Li Cheng颐 immediately repaired the damage to the Flower Scale Armor.

Next, he would consider what the next Carving would be, with the Carving as the core.

After determining the Carving as the goal, it would be easier to choose the Flower Words of the Evil Flower next.

With a main goal, Li Cheng颐 no longer picked and chose scattered powerful flower words like before.

The Giant Force Carving had brought him a huge improvement. Now, Li Cheng颐 planned to train his speed.

For speed-related Carvings, he first had to find the materials, and secondly, he had to have a suitable place to manufacture the Carving Sphere.

The Death Energy had been consumed a lot in the previous battle, and it still needed to be replenished continuously. This kind of power could not be generated by itself, but could only be absorbed from the outside world through meditation, so a stable Death Energy absorption site was also needed.

Li Cheng颐 thought, and soon his thoughts fell on the summoning buildings of the Evil Flower.

‘If I can summon the various buildings of the Evil Flower in the past, then there will be plenty of space to experiment freely. Unfortunately, I can't complete this in a short time. Flower Words cannot be chosen randomly.’

Since he couldn't do this, he could only make a substitute first.

Strolling in the botanical garden full of flowers and plants, he began to list the conditions required for the substitute.

‘First, it must be hidden. This can be chosen underground, like Xinghu and the others. If it doesn't work, you can also choose space, or even directly borrow Iselin's Grasping Hand.

Second, it must have enough defense. This requires enough protective measures.

Third, it needs energy. This is easy to get. Although nuclear reactors are prohibited items, it is no problem to get a few low-power ones for daily use.’

Thinking of this, the underground base of the team established by Rainbow Candy before was barely enough.

Before long, he unknowingly walked to the position of the crape myrtle flower in the botanical garden again.

He reached out and touched the shorter little flower, and wisps of flower energy flowed in, but there was no progress improvement.

Obviously, this was not an exotic crape myrtle, and it could not improve the progress of evolution.

Li Cheng颐 looked around. He had people transplant a row of crape myrtle trees here.

Among them, there were three crimson ones, three scarlet ones, and three silver-white ones. Now the other two kinds were all in bloom.

The scarlet and silver-white trees looked exceptionally clear and pure.

He walked over and pinched a scarlet little flower.

Suddenly, wisps of flower energy rapidly poured into the mark of the crape myrtle flower.

This was the mutated crape myrtle flower—the Red Myrtle.

Feeling the flower energy constantly improving his progress, Li Cheng颐 confirmed that this was the seventh Flower God position.

‘That is to say, I need to fill five more Flower God positions and choose five main flowers to merge and create the summoning function.’

Too slow...

‘This time, I'll go home to see my family, and then concentrate on manufacturing the Carving Sphere.’ The difficulty of the previous City of Angels of Death was indeed extremely high, and I don't know how much it will increase next time.

So he couldn't waste a single second of his time now.

Soon, after absorbing the flower energy needed for an evolution, Li Cheng颐 turned and left, and returned directly to his home in the city.

The next day, in the afternoon, a flight from Fengnan to An Du safely landed at An Du International Airport.

At the same time, a flight from Dongshan Province to An Du also quietly landed.

Inside the airport hall.

Teams of Security Administration police officers put up cordon lines to prevent pedestrians from colliding, so they separated individual passages.

The members of the Destiny Garden uniformly changed into consistent uniforms, all black long coats and trousers, with white shirts inside. The style was slender and neat, like it had been cut with knives.

The shoulders and back of the clothes were tattooed with large pieces of different silver patterns.

Li Cheng頤's was wisteria, Rainbow Candy's was hydrangea, Big Bear's was white lily, Little Brown's was scallion flower, and Dragon Gate Crane's was photinia.

These respectively represented the main flowers chosen by the members.

"Why do we have to wear such uncomfortable clothes?" Big Bear straightened his chest, somewhat helplessly.

"Hehe." Rainbow Candy sneered, "Envy me? Big or small is the key." She also straightened her chest.

"Wouldn't people think it's inflated?" Big Bear blinked.

"...Big Bear, you've gotten bolder now... You're getting more and more impudent!!" Rainbow Candy's eyes stabbed, and she was about to pinch him randomly.

But immediately, she was startled by a small black triangle-headed snake that窜came out of Big Bear's body.

"Okay, stop making trouble. After all, we are going to see His Majesty the Emperor. The basic point of respecting others is etiquette. This is the politeness of being a human being." Li Cheng颐 said.

He took the lead and walked towards the airport exit.

The others followed closely behind.

But after only a few steps, suddenly, at another passage in the distance, three strange people wearing black and gold dragon robes also walked out.

The two sides met, and they were both treated the same way. They immediately stopped and looked at each other.

"Mixed blood!?" The tall man at the head, his eyes flashed with a touch of gold, and then he was excited and happy.

"I'll eat him now!" He took a step forward, but was immediately held by the shoulder by one of the people behind him.

"Don't worry... This place is different from other places. There is a... very strong aura..." Ying said in a deep voice.

"The territory of the strongest Dead Ender? Okay, give him some face... But after leaving here... hehe..." Saar licked his lips greedily, staring at Li Cheng頤 without blinking.

"..." Li Cheng颐 frowned slightly, somewhat inexplicably disgusted by the other party's eyes.
