Previously, when battling in the Eastern Territory, Li Tian Gang had already witnessed the formidable strength of Ms. Yin. Even without using her Peerless Technique, she was not someone he could contend with at present.
Moreover,
if she appeared here, where was the Great Desert Sword Saint?
Seeing the young man next to her with golden hair like a deity of flames, Li Tian Gang’s heart sank, and he found his answer.
At the same time, an even more terrifying thought emerged in his mind.
“You are the Candle Flame God of the Great Void Realm?”
Li Tian Gang suppressed the trembling in his heart and inquired about the other party’s name.
The Candle Flame God was the ruler of the Great Void Realm and that most powerful Demon King.
Also, he was Ms. Yin’s husband.
Both of them coming together meant that the Great Desert Sword Saint had likely encountered danger.
Li Tian Gang had previously sent the Eight Directions Order back to Qingzhou City without asking his second uncle, Li Muxiu, to come over because the Great Void Realm had already come out in full force. They had completely broken off relations; he only saw Ms. Yin but did not see her husband, so he worried that the latter might be lying in wait in Qingzhou.
But now it seemed that the latter was not in Qingzhou.
Perhaps his decision to tell his second uncle not to come over was wrong.
His heart continued to sink.
From the moment the two Peerless Technique Realm Demon Kings appeared, everything happened in an instant. The battlefield, which had been fraught with death and killing, suddenly fell into a strange calm.
Hearing Li Tian Gang’s words, the young man glanced at him indifferently and said,
“Wasn’t the true dragon of the Li Family in the news reported to have perished in Cangzhou?”
Li Tian Gang’s face changed slightly, the words revealing that though the Great Void Realm kept out of worldly affairs, they closely monitored the Dayu Divine Dynasty’s movements.
Perhaps behind many events, the Great Void Realm had been subtly contributing.
“The Candle Flame God I remember does not look like you.”
Li Tian Gang stared at him, quietly regulating his breathing, but his eyes held deep wariness.
Three beings at the Ultimate Study Realm gathered in Liangzhou; the demons’ resolve to tear apart Liangzhou was far greater than he had imagined.
“My husband, having achieved his divine skill, naturally looks younger. Li Tian Gang, it’s unfortunate that the elder of the Holy Palace is not here; otherwise, you would no longer have a chance to speak,” Ms. Yin said with a gentle smile. The three were talking without moving, and none of them attacked Li Tian Gang, fearing it would allow Li Hao to escape.
Compared to Li Tian Gang, Li Hao was the real threat.
So young and yet so terrifying—if not slain, he would surely become the second sage in the Dayu Divine Dynasty!
Li Tian Gang’s face darkened, knowing the other party was right. Given the past battles between himself and the Holy Palace in Northern Yan, the elders of the Holy Palace would likely attack him first upon seeing him.
“Let’s resolve this quickly before those others reinforce,” Lu Yuan said sternly.
“If they come, we’ll just deal with them,” the Candle Flame God dismissed the concern and said indifferently, “On the way here, I heard something interesting. I heard that you and your father have fallen out, that this kid has abandoned the surname of the Li Family. Such a rebellious act, it seems, is not just a staged farce meant to sow confusion.”
He looked at Li Hao with interest and said, “Since you’re no longer a member of the Li Family, what are you doing here?”
Hearing this, Li Tian Gang’s face also shifted slightly; this truly was a scandal for the Li Family.
Hearing the words of the Demon King, his heart inexplicably throbbed, and he couldn’t help but look at Li Hao.
Li Hao, who kept quietly accumulating power, said coldly, “Though I may not be a member of the Li Family, I am a human!”
The Candle Flame God raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised by Li Hao’s response, but then thought it made sense.
Li Tian Gang’s complexion changed slightly, anger flashing in his eyes, “What nonsense are you talking about? The three-year agreement isn’t over, you’re still a Li!”
Li Hao arched an eyebrow, sneered coldly, but didn’t bother to respond.
The Candle Flame God chuckled lightly, but his eyes held a profound coldness as he proposed, “How about we do something interesting?”
“You all want to rescue Liangzhou, right? If you kill your father, I will allow the people of Liangzhou to live one more day. How about it?”
Hearing the seemingly playful words, Lu Yuan was the first to object, angrily saying, “Lord Candle Flame, there’s no need to waste time, is there?”
“It’s not wasting time,” Ms. Yin’s eyes turned fierce, and she coldly said, “Li Tian Gang killed my son, and now I want his son to kill him!”
Lu Yuan was taken aback and immediately understood why this couple was talking so much.
He was somewhat annoyed but, since the two were of one mind, he couldn’t argue, so he concentrated on recovering his strength.
The words of the Candle Flame God stunned Li Tian Gang. He glanced subconsciously at Li Hao and, seeing the youth’s expressionless face, a surge of anger flooded his heart.
He took a deep breath and said, “If you truly mean what you say, I have no problem agreeing. For the people of Liangzhou, I, Li Tian Gang, am willing to die!”
Although it only meant living another day, that one day was crucial.
It was enough time for reinforcements to arrive.
At that point, the outcome for Liangzhou would become unknown.
However, although he said this, he was not truly prepared to surrender; after all, the words of demons could not be trusted.
“What do you think?” the Candle Flame God asked Li Hao, a smile playing on his lips.
Li Hao exhaled lightly, his strength that had exploded just a moment ago had fully recovered under the nourishment of the Heaven and Earth Vein.
In just the short time it took for this conversation, he had returned to his peak condition.
“I intend to deal with you,” Li Hao stated.

He suddenly burst forth, entering his Transformation into Immortal state, drawing on the power of the surroundings, and fiercely launched a punch at Lu Yuan.
Among the three Great Demon Kings, Lu Yuan had already exchanged blows with him, and they were familiar with each other’s attacks; Li Hao aimed to break through from him.
Lu Yuan, shrewd as he was, immediately understood Li Hao’s intention. Enraged at being treated like the weakest link, he thought to himself!
