Chapter 1117 Between Gains and Losses
King Blazing Sun took a deep breath, waved for his personal guards to leave, and then said:

"When I ascended the throne, I entered the forbidden area to see that treasure that was related to the fate of the nation, and I met the first person from another world. He said something similar."

This topic piqued Yunxi's interest. She looked at the king and said calmly:

"What did he say that you still remember?"

The king seemed to see the image of that person dying again, and he whispered:
“He said we were foolish, that we were deceived and kept useless things, but used otherworldly people to support the evil array. He also said that I and my people would become nourishment for evil cultivators and fall into an abyss of no return. If I don’t want to fall to that point, I have to ask for help from the otherworldly people who come here next time.”

Yunxi immediately picked up on the three keywords: "supplying the evil array," "nourishment," and "seeking help." Now she was absolutely certain that an evil immortal had been here before, which led to them becoming the target of the natives' capture.

It is unknown what method the evil immortal used to incite the local inhabitants, making them believe that the immortals came here to plunder. In order to prevent their resources from being taken, he set up an evil array with the help of the inhabitants to seal the so-called coveted treasures. At the same time, he suppressed their immortal energy, causing their memories to become blurred, and finally made them fall into the trap of becoming the energy that sustains the normal operation of the evil array.

Yunxi felt a headache just thinking about it. She raised her hand to rub her temples before looking up. Her gaze swept over the faces of King Chiyang, Dugu He, and the only guard present. She really didn't know whether to call these people stupid or praise the evil immortal for his brilliance.

All three felt somewhat uncomfortable under Yun Xiqing's clear gaze, and finally the king spoke first:

"Do you understand what he means?"

Yunxi did not answer the king's question directly, but looked at him and said:
"Now that you are king, and you have always had doubts about the people from other worlds, you must have investigated in private. So answer a few questions for me truthfully, and I will tell you the meaning behind his words and see if I can help you."

The king nodded and said:

"Go ahead and ask."

Yunxi sighed before asking her questions:
"According to your investigation, you are unable to contend with the otherworldly beings before the formation is activated, is that right?"

"Yes."

Do you know what they took from you?

"A type of stone."

"Did they leave anything behind as a form of exchange when they took these things?"

"It seems so. There are some longevity pills, amulets, and divine weapons. One of them is still kept in the palace."

"If what you say is true, then the actions of the otherworldly beings are not plunder, but exchange."

"However, according to the royal records, the items given by the otherworldly beings were not commensurate with the value of the treasures they took."

"Who made this determination?"

"That otherworldly person who stood up for justice."

Towards the end, King Chiyang clearly lacked confidence.

Yunxi sneered and said, "That otherworldly person who stood up for justice only stirred up the deepest greed in your hearts. You want more: endless life, eternal youth, eternal rule, and world-destroying power. At the same time, you are also jealous of the otherworldly person who has all of these things, so you subconsciously chose to believe him and then set up the so-called formation that can hide the treasure."

Her words caused the faces of the three people present to darken, and they all seemed to be trying to find a rebuttal, but Yunxi did not give them that chance, and instead looked directly at Dugu He and said:

"I observe that Grandmaster He's internal energy cultivation method is not considered a high-level technique, but it is still orthodox. Tell me, what kind of formation requires human lives to maintain? If it really requires human lives, why can't your lives be used? Why must we, the people from another world, be used?"

"This"

Dugu He was truly stumped by the question. He hadn't considered this issue before, and it seemed they had deliberately overlooked it.

Yunxi then turned to look at the king at the head of the table and continued:
"As far as I know, people from other worlds only come to your territory every hundred years, and the number of them is also random. Since Your Majesty has seen people from other worlds, you should know that a hundred years is just a blink of an eye for them, which is why you were able to see him in your lifetime."

It is precisely because the beings from other worlds are powerful enough that our strength, essence, and soul are able to maintain the operation of the formation and suppress ourselves. However, relying solely on a limited number of beings from other worlds is not enough to achieve permanent suppression.

"Guess how much power it would take to continue suppressing us? Could it be your national destiny? Could it be the power that helps a Grandmaster break through to Saint Master? Could it be the blessing that will last your five nations for the next hundred or thousand years?"

With each additional word Yunxi spoke, the expressions of the three people present grew increasingly grim. Finally, Dugu He interrupted, saying:
"Stop talking!"

Yunxi snorted coldly and said:

"What? Grandmaster He can't stand the truth? Even though my power is suppressed now, I can still destroy the entire Blazing Sun City, but I won't do that, nor will I let ordinary people bear the consequences of your stupidity. More importantly, the path I cultivate does not allow me to kill innocent people indiscriminately."

Do you know why we're still here? Because the Heavenly Dao here is trying to save itself, because it knows it can't break the deadlock from within, and therefore needs to rely on external forces.

After Yunxi finished speaking, the study fell into a deathly silence, as if the air itself had frozen.

The guard swallowed hard and abruptly said:
"These are all your claims, do you have any evidence?"

Yunxi glanced at the guard and thought he was quite courageous, so she kindly reminded him:
“Nothing happens overnight; it takes time. In the past hundred years, has the Kingdom of Blazing Sun suffered any natural disasters? Have the people lived prosperous lives? Is there really no conflict between the five kingdoms?”

Your Majesty, are your sons capable and able to take over the responsibilities you hold in your hands? Are there more capable ministers or treacherous ministers in the court?
Besides guarding the formation, what other things did that imperial advisor do that benefit the country and its people?

Yunxi bombarded him with a series of questions, even the king pursed his lips.

"Fine, you only believe what you see. Then just wait! I can wait, but I don't know if you can."

Yunxi's words were meaningful, and then she got up and left the study. After talking and thinking for so long, her head started to ache again. The effects of the pill she had taken earlier had worn off, and she didn't want the three of them to notice anything amiss, so she chose to leave first.

Upon returning to her residence, she immediately swallowed two Rejuvenation Pills and one Healing Pill before sitting cross-legged in meditation. She needed to ensure that she could destroy the evil formation even without her divine sense and immortal energy.

Although what she just told the two of them contained exaggeration and provocation, it was also true. After all, to suppress the strength of a celestial cultivator, one needs even greater power.

This small world is clearly in the process of power evolution and does not possess the absolute power to suppress them, which is why the evil immortal set up this evil formation.

The three people who remained in the study were deep in thought, recalling every word Ranxi had just said.
