My strength increases by one percent every day; I can destroy stars with my bare hands.

"kill!"

"The gourd is mine, get out of my way."

"No one can stop me."

"..."

Everyone rushed toward the gourd with all their might, wanting to take it for themselves.

Despite being severely injured, Bai Meng fought to the death, stubbornly blocking the crowd.

"Miss Li, quickly refine the gourd."

Jiang Gan anxiously urged Li Ling'er from the side.

The Purple Gold Gourd was reforged and upgraded to a superior sacred artifact. The mark left by Li Ling'er on the gourd also dissipated during the forging process, requiring her to reforge it.

Seeing Li Ling'er begin refining the gourd, everyone became anxious and attacked even more ruthlessly.

"Die, all of you!"

The allure of a top-grade sacred artifact is something everyone would risk their lives for. Even those with powerful backers and who are themselves the pride of heaven cannot resist its temptation.

Outside the Heavenly Craft Hall, a dozen or so people at the Cave Heaven Realm were exuding auras, but none of them showed up.

The Cave Heaven Realm reached a tacit agreement to allow the younger generation to compete for it.

"This is the treasure of Li Tingzhu's sister. If he returns, he will certainly not let this go."

Some people were worried that Li Xuancang would not let the matter go easily after his return.

"snort!"

A cold snort rang out, the tone disdainful: "So what if he comes back? By then everything will be settled. Will he still dare to attack everyone then?"

The court wielded immense power, but the law did not punish the masses, and they did not believe Li Xuancang would dare to defy public opinion.

Everyone shared this thought, and then fell silent, turning their attention to the battle for control of the Weapon Forging Hall.

"puff!"

Bai Meng stood firmly in front of the crowd, becoming the target of everyone's anger; everyone wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

He was covered in wounds, many of which were deep enough to expose bone, but he fought to the death, buying Li Ling'er time to refine the gourd.

"Go to hell!"

A young man pierced Bai Meng's chest with a sword, the sword energy raging and shredding his internal organs.

"what!"

With a roar, Bai Meng forcibly increased his strength by destroying his foundation, sending the boy flying with a single punch.

He was covered in blood, like a vengeful ghost crawling out of hell, with not a single piece of good flesh left on his body.

Even so, he stubbornly refused to give way.

"You're asking for death, I'll grant your wish."

Seeing that Li Ling'er was about to refine the gourd, the group could no longer afford to waste any more time and had to kill her, even if they didn't want to.

"Bang!"

"boom!"

"Thump!"

"..."

After being attacked by the combined forces of the group, Bai Meng, no matter how tenacious he was, could not hold on and collapsed to the ground.

"boom!"

The moment Bai Meng fell to the ground, the Purple-Gold Gourd shone brightly, piercing the sky, and the entire weapon-refining hall trembled violently.

"Oh no, she's going to refine the gourd."

Seeing this, everyone became extremely anxious and rushed towards Li Ling'er without regard for their own safety.

If Li Ling'er were to refine the gourd, they would never have another chance.

Li Ling'er's pretty face turned pale, her whole demeanor was as cold as ice, and her murderous gaze swept coldly over everyone, memorizing each and every one of them.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a powerful pressure descended from the sky, pressing down on Li Ling'er and preventing her from fully refining the gourd.

"puff!"

Li Ling'er was struck dumb, her breath weakened, her body swayed, and she almost collapsed.

Her face turned deathly pale, and she no longer had the strength to completely refine the gourd.

"What are you doing?"

An angry question came from high above.

They were already in the wrong to allow their followers to fight over Li Ling'er's treasures, and now they are bullying the weak and severely injuring Li Ling'er.

Things were completely unexpected. They couldn't imagine how angry Li Xuancang would be when he returned, or how they could appease his anger.

"A good opportunity."

Seeing this golden opportunity, the crowd rushing towards the gourd like madmen.

"presumptuous!"

A roar like thunder suddenly sounded, and then divine light descended from the sky, forming a barrier in front of Li Ling'er.

"puff!"

"what!"

"Well!"

"..."

Some people didn't have time to stop and crashed into the barrier, where they were all shaken so badly that they coughed up blood and staggered backward.

"It's him!"

A majestic figure slowly descended, his aura chilling, and everyone felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, their bodies shivering with cold.

The dozen or so hidden observers from the Cave Heaven Realm quickly withdrew, not wanting the newcomers to have any leverage over them.

"Greetings, Master Yan."

Upon seeing the newcomer, Jiang Gan felt relieved and hurriedly bowed to Yan Fa.

Yan Fa ignored Jiang Gan and quickly went to Li Ling'er, whose face was pale. He poured a stream of true energy into her body to stabilize her injuries.

"Senior Yan, please save Bai Meng!"

Li Ling'er looked anxious and begged Yan Fa for help.

Upon hearing this, Yan Fa flashed to Bai Meng's side.

Feeling that Bai Meng was still alive, Yan Fa felt relieved and quickly gave him the pill.

After taking the pill, Bai Meng's life, which had been hanging by a thread, gradually stabilized.

Seeing that Bai Meng was out of danger, Li Ling'er was relieved and, without bothering to heal her injuries, quickly began refining the gourd.

Yan Fa's cold gaze swept over the crowd, causing them to tremble involuntarily and lower their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.

"Take them all."

Yan Fa coldly ordered that everyone be taken away and await Li Xuancang's return for judgment.

Upon hearing this, everyone trembled with fear, their hearts pounding with dread.

Although they had never been to the courthouse, they had heard of its formidable power; if they were taken away by the courthouse, they would be severely injured, if not killed.

"Lord Yan, what has caused you to become so angry?"

Just as everyone was filled with fear, Dongfang Shenhuo slowly stepped into the main hall.

"Lord Yan, congratulations on your recovery."

"Congratulations on Lord Yan's exit from the pass!"

"Now that Lord Yan has emerged from seclusion, he is also able to take charge of the overall situation."

"..."

Several people at the Cave Heaven Realm followed behind Dongfang Shenhuo, all of whom clasped their fists in greeting to Yan Fa.

"Lord Yan, let the juniors resolve their own petty squabbles. I will take them back and punish them severely."

After finishing his speech, Dongfang Shenhuo immediately left with the people from Xinhuo Palace.

"Lord Yan, Fellow Daoist Dongfang is right."

Hong Xuanji also left with the Night Watchmen.

Others also spoke up and took the person away.

Yan Fa watched the crowd leave without saying a word or stopping them.

Although he has emerged from seclusion, his injuries have not fully recovered.

Besides, he was alone. If he forced a falling out with everyone, they would be the ones who would suffer.

"Proceed to Blackrock Fortress immediately and inform Lord Li."

The court learned that Li Xuancang had gone to Black Stone Fortress to provide support and informed Yan Fa of this.

With such a major event occurring in the capital, Yan Fa demands that Li Xuancang return as soon as possible.

"Ling'er, let's go!"

Yan Fa, carrying Li Ling'er, used a burst of true energy to lift the unconscious Bai Meng away from the Heavenly Crafts Hall.

"Something big is about to happen. If it's not handled properly, a major earthquake will occur in the Divine Dynasty."

Looking at the departing crowd, Jiang Qian's eyes were filled with worry.

Although he hadn't had much contact with Li Xuancang, he knew Li Xuancang's personality.

Once Li Xuancang returns to the capital, none of those involved in the robbery of the gourd will escape.

This matter was suppressed by various forces and only spread within a small circle, without spreading further.

Everyone thought this was just a minor incident, and the most urgent task was to quickly come up with a solution to the major problem of the teleportation array being destroyed and Blackrock Fortress about to fall.
