Chapter 1182 Biting Back

Zhuang Yushu remained expressionless, only wanting to take advantage of Di Fei's inability to recover to her peak condition. However, Di Fei seemed to have been on guard against Zhuang Yushu all along. The moment the Immortal Binding Rope wrapped around her, she had already left her original position, and the Immortal Binding Rope only bound the air.

Without hesitation, Di Fei launched a soul attack. A sharp shriek came from her mouth, the sound thin and piercing, directly affecting the soul. Zhuang Yushu's face turned pale. He faced the soul attack head-on, and his sea of ​​consciousness trembled briefly, causing him to be momentarily dazed.

In that moment of distraction, Di Fei seized the opportunity, and her Soul-Burning Blade pierced through Zhuang Yushu's body, knocking him off the immortal ship.

Because Zhuang Yushu was resisting the soul attack, his reaction was a beat slower. Although he avoided the vital points, he was still injured by the Soul-Scorching Blade.

Despite Di Fei's innocent appearance and soft-spoken manner, giving the impression of being weak and harmless, her natal soul weapon, the Soul-Burning Blade, is extremely powerful. Once someone is stabbed by the blade, the fire attribute inherent in the weapon will remain in their soul and begin to burn it. Unless it is forced out immediately, the burning will continue as long as the soul remains intact.

Because of the special nature of this soul weapon, Di Fei is always very cautious when using it. She usually won't use it unless it's a mortal enemy, but this time it's clear that her sore spot has been touched.

Zhuang Yushu hadn't expected Di Fei to use the Soul-Burning Blade against him, and he didn't think he had done anything to arouse suspicion.

Just as he was falling, the image of the Thousand-Foot Giant Eagle appeared within his spiritual senses. He then turned the tables and roared:
"Di Fei, you're actually a traitor to the evil god!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was completely submerged by the seawater, and the whirlpool at the bottom of the sea pulled him into an even deeper depth.

This was the last scene Yunxi saw when she arrived at the Immortal Boat.

Di Fei was so angry she jumped up and down, abandoning her feigned weakness, and said to Yun Xi with a cold face:

"Zhuang Yushu is the traitor. He tried to ambush me from behind, but I saw through his plan. When he found out you were back, he turned around and accused me!"

Yunxi sat steadily on Qianxun's back, her divine sense probing into the deep sea, trying to find Zhuang Yushu's whereabouts, but was blocked by an invisible force. Undeterred, she continued to expand the search range of her divine sense, almost covering the entire Burial God Sea, but still found no trace of Zhuang Yushu. Only then did she frown and withdraw her divine sense.

Then she noticed that Di Fei was looking at her very warily, clearly because her silence made Di Fei think that she was being suspected.

Yunxi narrowed her almond-shaped eyes and said:

“Come on up, let’s go back to the ‘Heavenly Palace’.”

Di Fei didn't expect that after waiting for so long, she would only get such a sentence. However, she could tell that Yun Xi had no hostility towards her, so she put away her immortal boat and then jumped onto the back of the Thousand-Seeking Giant Eagle.

The giant eagle flapped its wings twice and returned to the warship "Heavenly Palace".

The return of the two drew the attention of all the immortals, but no one could discern anything from their expressions. They watched as the two entered the control room one after the other and then continued to meditate and recover, unaware of when the next battle would begin.

The Ice-Yi White Tiger couple twitched their noses, as if they had caught a whiff of something, but they only exchanged glances and said nothing, continuing to stay on the deck, keeping a close eye on the movements of the Burial God Sea.

Inside the control room, the remaining three saw Di Fei follow Yun Xi into the ship's cabin, and Gui Chi Demon Lord asked:
"Ranxi, have you found Liao Ziqian, who is being controlled by the evil god?"

Xuanwu glanced behind the two and said:

Where is Zhuang Yushu?

Di Fei plopped down on the prayer mat, and seeing that Yun Xi showed no intention of speaking, she said coldly:

"Don't even mention it. Zhuang Yushu ambushed me, and after I stabbed him, he framed me and fell into the sea. Ranxi happened to see this." Di Fei's words were like a bomb, causing the three people who stayed behind to frown.

Cang Qiong clasped his hands together, his square face filled with doubt:
"Amitabha! Why did Zhuang Yushu launch a sneak attack on you? And why did he choose this time? If he is an accomplice of the evil god, why didn't he take any action before?"

Little White Flower Di Fei was displeased upon hearing this, and raised her eyebrows, saying:

"Cang Qiong, what do you mean by that? Are you implying that I framed him?"

Cang Qiong immediately denied it:
“Difei, I’m just stating the facts. He has absolutely no reason to do this.”

Xuanwu's eyes darted over the three people around him, as if each of them was a suspect. Yan Guichi looked at the sky, then at Di Fei, and finally fixed his gaze on Yun Xi, who had not yet spoken.

Yunxi spoke directly:

"There's no need for mutual suspicion anymore. It was indeed Zhuang Yushu who attacked Di Fei first. His aim was probably to reduce the number of people controlling the 'Heavenly Palace,' preventing us from leveraging the advantages of the warships and facilitating the Evil God's next plan."

As soon as Yunxi said this, the control room fell silent.

Di Fei blinked, a smile appearing on her lips, and she regained her innocent, delicate demeanor, speaking softly:
"Ranxi, did you see him attack me?"

Yunxi shook her head and said:
"I only saw Zhuang Yushu fall into the sea, I didn't see him attack you."

This time, Di Fei was surprised:

"Then why do you believe me?"

Yunxi glanced at Difei and said:

"Zhuang Yushu's strength is at the mid-stage of the Immortal Lord realm. It's impossible for you to kill him in one move. Correspondingly, he's not so weak that he can't withstand your attack. His choice to fall into the Burial God Sea was to frame you and arouse my suspicion."

"Once I become suspicious of you, I won't let you into the control room, nor will I let you participate in controlling the warship. Then, to deal with the evil god's counterattack, I, Guichi Demon Lord, Xuanwu Demon Lord, and Cangqiong Buddha will have to expend even more divine sense and immortal energy. Once the four of us are exhausted, the remaining immortals won't be able to hold out for long."

Di Fei nodded in understanding after hearing this, but Xuanwu deliberately contradicted her:
"If Di Fei caught Zhuang Yushu off guard and made a mistake, that would also make sense."

Di Fei's eyebrows furrowed, finding Xuanwu increasingly displeasing. Just as she was about to retort, Yun Xi narrowed her almond-shaped eyes and said:
"Zhuang Yushu disappeared after falling into the Burial God Sea. My divine sense is strong enough to reach the Immortal King realm, and it almost covered the entire sea, but I couldn't find any trace of him."

The 'Heavenly Dipper and Northern Dipper Demon-Slaying Formation' has been forcibly embedded into the deep sea. As long as the formation is not destroyed, the evil god's body will be unable to move, making it impossible for Zhuang Yushu to disappear so completely.

Zhuang Yushu only fell into the sea, he didn't die. Why didn't he ask me for help after seeing me? If he had the injuries from Di Fei's attack, wouldn't that have further corroborated his story?

Yan Guichi's eyes darted around, something seemed to flash through his mind, and he grabbed it and blurted out:
"He went to destroy the 'Heavenly Dipper Demon-Slaying Formation' embedded in the deep sea!"

Yunxi nodded; this was her first reaction after failing to find Zhuang Yushu.

Xuanwu cursed him as cunning and then said:
"We can't let Zhuang Yushu destroy the formation we've worked so hard to embed. We need to bring him back as soon as possible."
