Chapter 980: Qing

After trying a few times, Li Huowang turned around to see the colossal yak gate still hovering there, unchanged.

Li Huowang didn't try again. He finally understood at this moment that it wasn't that he couldn't enter, but that someone was preventing him. There must be something happening inside the White Jade Capital!

"Who is it? Did a Sima of the Blissful Heaven launch a sneak attack?" Li Huowang immediately ruled out this option. If a Sima of the Blissful Heaven were truly inside the White Jade Capital, the Simas there wouldn't have had time to simply observe him.

"Could it be a Sima from within the White Jade Capital? But who could it be? What exactly does he want?"

After a moment of thought, Li Huowang suddenly had an idea. He looked at the massive jade gate before him and shouted loudly, "Zhao Shuangdian! Qing Wanglai! Can you hear me? I'm talking to you right now!"

"Don't answer me! I don't know what you're saying right now! What I want to say is, pay attention to each other's actions and see who behaves abnormally or unusually! I need to figure out who is preventing me from entering the White Jade Capital!"

To avoid misunderstanding, Li Huowang immediately added, "Don't misunderstand, I'm not suspecting you. I'm just using the process of elimination. As long as you're not the problem, then it's another Sima within the White Jade Capital who is stopping me!"

"Help me this once! If you want me to help you in the future!"

After speaking, Li Huowang took a deep breath, waited silently for a few seconds, then pushed off with both feet again, rushing towards the White Jade Capital.

This time, just as he was about to enter, that peculiar sensation of stagnation reappeared.

Seeing himself about to pass through again, Li Huowang furiously roared, "Everyone, watch the others! See who's ruining my plans!"

The moment Li Huowang uttered these words, the sensation of stagnation on him finally vanished, and he finally rushed into the White Jade Capital.

In an instant, the original spot revealed a series of wondrous, kaleidoscope-like sights.

What appeared before Li Huowang were over ten Zuo Qiuyongs, each larger than a mountain and deeper than the sea, twisting and intertwining, wailing and struggling as their bodies gradually melted.

Their bodies continuously melted and regenerated, enduring this extreme pain.

"Zuo Qiuyong?! Wasn't he dead?" But soon Li Huowang finally knew what it was: Zuo Qiuyong's Ten Emotions and Eight Sufferings!

What was rotting on the ground was merely Zuo Qiuyong's skin; the real Zuo Qiuyong had already been dragged to the White Jade Capital!

Zuo Qiuyong's physical body was already enormous, not to mention there were now eighteen Zuo Qiuyongs before him. These eighteen Zuo Qiuyongs intertwined with each other, forming a continuously writhing, melting sphere of flesh and blood before Li Huowang.

Listening to Zuo Qiuyong's wails and watching his Ten Emotions and Eight Sufferings slowly melt, Li Huowang finally understood: it was the torment of Zuo Qiuyong's Ten Emotions and Eight Sufferings that was pleasing Bahui! Only the painful torment of a Sima could make her laugh so unrestrainedly!

As Zuo Qiuyong's body gradually melted, strands of white substance were continuously being filtered out from within him, gradually vanishing into the air.

That substance was very peculiar, but as a Sima, Li Huowang could tell at a glance that it was none other than the Dao of Growth!

Although its surroundings were empty, it was clear that something had now ambushed Zuo Qiuyong, and was trying to seize his Dao of Growth!

"No! I must help Zuo Qiuyong!" Without a second thought, Li Huowang immediately charged forward.

As he charged, Li Huowang also shouted to his surroundings, "Don't you see any enemies here? What are you doing! Act quickly!"

But just as Li Huowang reached Zuo Qiuyong's side, within the empty surroundings, he felt something brush past his body.

Li Huowang instinctively reached out and grabbed, feeling strands of hair-like material gradually vanish into his palm as he grasped them.

At this very moment, a dark figure with an afterimage flew out from the side, colliding directly with Li Huowang and knocking him out of the White Jade Capital, back into the midst of the countless stars.

Immediately after, in the instant Li Huowang couldn't react, the heavens and earth trembled, and Li Huowang's surroundings rapidly changed. In a short while, he was back inside Yi Donglai's study. Everyone else was now looking at him.

Bahui's sharp laughter continued, but Li Huowang's gaze was fixed intently on Qing Wanglai.

Li Huowang raised his right hand, feeling the sensation that had just brushed his palm, and said to Qing Wanglai, "Although you stopped me, I still touched you, Sanqing! It's you! So it was you who did it!"

"Li Huowang, what's wrong with you? You can't afford to be like this right now." Qing Wanglai looked at Li Huowang with concern.

"Don't play dumb with me! I saw it with my own eyes! It was you! You killed Zuo Qiuyong! You are stealing Zuo Qiuyong's Dao of Growth! Although I couldn't see you, I touched you!"

"Qing Wanglai! What exactly are you doing! You clearly control the Dao of Secrets! Why are you stealing Zuo Qiuyong's Dao!"

"Aren't you a smart person? The Blissful Heaven is watching like a tiger, yet you dare to engage in internal strife at a time like this!"

Qing Wanglai pushed up his glasses, looking at Yi Donglai with some displeasure. "Dr. Yi, what exactly have you done to him? Do you think we threatened you, so you used your psychological knowledge to sow discord between Li Huowang and us?"

"Let me tell you, this is useless. If Li Huowang doesn't recover today, then I'm very sorry," Qing Wanglai said, pulling out his handgun from his pocket.

Li Huowang, with a distorted expression, stepped forward a few paces, blocking the space between Yi Donglai and him. "Don't change the subject! Qing Wanglai, you must give me an explanation!"

Li Huowang had previously felt that something was wrong with Qing Wanglai. During the confrontations with the Blissful Heaven, he had barely contributed any effort!

Compared to previously thinking Qing Wanglai was a useless good-for-nothing, Li Huowang was now more worried that this guy had already secretly pledged allegiance to the Blissful Heaven!

"Tie him up. Li Huowang has completely lost his mind. Zhao Lei, Sister Chen, lend a hand."

But just as Qing Wanglai was leading others forward, Yang Na, holding a military knife, was the first to rush in front of Li Huowang, followed by Zhao Shuangdian, who was holding a notebook. "Qingzi, regarding Li Huowang's problem, I'm also very curious about the answer."

Looking at the woman blocking him, Qing Wanglai smiled with a touch of helplessness. "No way? Zhao Shuangdian, you can't possibly believe his words, can you?"

Zhao Shuangdian looked at Li Huowang at this moment and nodded naturally. "That's right, I do believe him. At least the parameters he provided are mostly correct. On the contrary, it's you whom I can never see through."
