You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 853 - 230: Schemes

Great Yong, Di Hong City.

Prince Xia Mansion.

It was midday, the courtyard basked in warm sunlight, and Yu Shiqi leaned comfortably on a reclining chair, feeling a wave of drowsiness and couldn't help but yawn.

Baili Fengzhi, who was reading a book beside her, noticed and couldn't help but ask: "Little Fish, haven't you already proven and transcended? Why are you sleepier than me?"

"Habit, I guess." Yu Shiqi scratched her head a bit sheepishly.

At this moment—

A figure in white as snow suddenly appeared in the courtyard.

"Star Lord?"

Yu Shiqi immediately stood up, becoming tense.

"Yu Shiqi, you finally succeeded in proving the Dao. It's not in vain that I've waited for you so long." The Star Lord's lips curved into a slight smile, "The timing is perfect, how about helping me out?"

"Help?" Yu Shiqi couldn't help but frown. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"You can also choose to refuse."

The Star Lord smiled and said, "If you refuse, I'll kill you."

As they spoke, a silvery white gleam appeared in his hand, space shattered inch by inch, and numerous space fragments continuously merged into it, causing the gleam to become even more dazzling.

Yu Shiqi's figure suddenly disappeared from her original spot.

Along with her, Baili Fengzhi beside her also vanished.

Faint fluctuations emanated from the Star Lord's body, permeating the surroundings, penetrating deep into the void.

Then he revealed a look of surprise: "It's not diving into the depths of the void, nor is it deceiving divine thought and senses..."

Instead, he laughed more brilliantly.

"Yu Shiqi, the Sixteenth Prince's Steal the Sky and Change the Sun technique is indeed astonishing. I admit I can't catch you."

The Star Lord said to himself: "But you can escape, can the Tantian Sect? This kind of incredible concealing technique must impose great limitations on you. How many people can you take away?"

He slowly raised a hand, and the silvery white gleam immediately divided into hundreds of rays.

"I am a person difficult to predict, even the Crown Prince can't stop me. Now, in this Di Hong City, no one is my match."

The Star Lord said with a smile: "I'll count to three. If you still don't come out, I guarantee that the Tantian Sect will be completely annihilated in the next instant. Don't believe me? Try it."

"One..."

"Two..."

Before he could count to three, Yu Shiqi had already appeared, and at the same time, the Residence Array of Prince Xia Mansion fully activated, instantly engulfing the central area with the mighty power of multiple arrays.

As for Baili Fengzhi, she was clearly sent to the center of the array for protection.

The array's power was so strong in this central area that ordinary Dao-proven beings couldn't break it. Even at the Divine Son level, it would take some time to break it.

The Star Lord was not concerned, simply smiling: "It seems you understand the situation."

At this moment—

Silently, a black thread entwining Yu Shiqi's right index finger suddenly snapped.

To be precise, it was a strand of hair.

This strand of hair emitted an aura seemingly real yet illusory, even faintly connecting to an illusory yet real world. When it twined around Yu Shiqi's finger, it seemed nonexistent, with no one able to detect it.

But at the moment it snapped, the Star Lord immediately noticed its existence.

Simultaneously, in the unseen, a grand yet illusory power descended from nowhere, quietly merging into the strand of hair.

Once this tiny strand of hair received the power, it instantly became real from virtual, revealing a woman's figure.

She was a young woman wearing a Phoenix Crown, dressed in a bright red palace attire, obscured by a hazy veil. On her forehead was an accessory like pearls and jade, perfectly covering the center of her brows, leaving only a pair of eyes shrouded in ethereal mist visible.

As fantasy transformed into reality, an astonishing pressure spread out.

"Princess of Yongning?"

The Star Lord immediately recognized the woman's identity, revealing a slight smile.

Princess of Yongning, also the Second Princess of the Xiahong clan.

The reincarnation of the Ancestor of Illusion Demon.

Also an early Dao-proven transcendent in the Xiahong clan of the Imperial Family.

"You are... Star Lord?" The Princess of Yongning lazily sat down, scrutinizing the Star Lord.

"It's me."

The Star Lord smiled slightly, saying: "I've heard that before the Sixteenth Prince's reincarnation, he was the child of the Ancestor of Illusion Demon. Now that you protect Yu Shiqi this way, it seems she truly is the reincarnation of the Sixteenth Prince?"

Yu Shiqi was equally bewildered.

She too didn't know why the Second Princess was giving her special treatment, assuming only that the Second Princess regarded her as the granddaughter of the Sixteenth Prince, thus gifting her this strand of hair.

"You sure are bold, daring to storm Di Hong City alone." The Princess of Yongning casually said, "Do you really think Great Yong is devoid of people?"

The Star Lord chuckled, saying: "Of course there are, and they are beings I dare not provoke."

He glanced in a certain direction, saying: "But now they're too busy to spare any attention for Di Hong City. With just the current power in Di Hong City, how can it stop me?"

His avatar of the Star God was in the Liuxue Mountains, watching the Second Prince, Third Prince, Eldest Princess, and Main Hall Master exhaust themselves trying to prevent the descent of the Old One. Yet even with their utmost effort, they could not completely halt it, and the entrance to the World Barrier continued to expand.

So he immediately realized, it was his best opportunity.

Destroying the Eye of Heaven could also ease Xiahou Shou's burden, making the Old One's arrival smoother.

"Then let's see?"

As soon as the Princess of Yongning finished speaking, the Star Lord's eyes saw the illusory world manifesting in reality.

She followed not the Heart Phase path, but the Illusion Demon Path of fantasy, illusion, and other such illusory existences. Even the root of the Tantian No Path lineage actually originated from her Illusion Demon Path.
