It's clear that the Celestial Realm is planning to bet on Liu Jian to enter the game, and the three subsequent instructions are all related to this.

One option was to send someone to infiltrate Xiao Se's inner circle as an undercover agent, while the other was to kill Xiao Yue, the Star of Greed.

To be honest, Feng Lie felt that the order to send Jueying to kill Xiao Yue was a bit excessive.

Not to mention that Xiao Yue is the Greedy Wolf Star, destined to be an important part of this great human struggle, the popularity she has among the people in the north is enough to make people wary.

In essence, this order was to kill Jueying.

If Jueying dares to kill Xiao Yue using extreme methods, he will definitely suffer a backlash and die.

Although Jueying was of lowly status and his position in the mortal realm was inferior to that of the Seven True Lords, he was still a celestial being descended to the mortal world.

Even immortals and gods are not without scruples in the mortal world. If they do something like assassinating a popular monarch, the backlash they suffer will surely make them no longer be immortals or gods.

As people of similar low status, Feng Lie felt some sympathy for Jueying.

However, he wouldn't risk his life.

After relaying messages to several True Lords and a few aristocratic families, he still found Jueying and conveyed the instructions.

Jueying did not appear; he was hidden in the darkness, unseen and undetectable.

If it weren't for the fact that the Wind Listener's jade had lit up, and Feng Lie knew he was nearby, he wouldn't have dared to directly relay the order.

"Jueying, obey my command! Kill Xiao Yue of the Greedy Wolf Star at all costs!"

"..."

After a moment of silence, a faint voice came from the shadows: "The Sinful Immortal obeys the order."

Feng Lie: "..."

A sinful immortal?

It turns out he was a deity who made a mistake; no wonder he was sent by his superiors to carry out a mission that would surely result in his death.

I don't know what mistake this Jueying made.

Having slacked off in the human world for so many years and been a gossipmonger for so long, gossip has become Feng Lie's occupational hazard.

Fortunately, he restrained his urge to investigate Jueying and left in a hurry.

Not long after Feng Lie left, a graceful figure emerged from the darkness.

She was completely wrapped in an ultra-black veil, which accentuated her exquisite figure.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the black veil covering her body was actually a chain made of runes, tightly wrapped around her, and her hands were also shackled.

Her face was covered in gruesome wounds, enough to instantly wither away any man who might have been aroused by her alluring figure...

"Greedy Wolf, Xiao Yue..."

Jueying muttered two words, his eyes instantly turning blood red.

As her murderous intent blossomed, the shackles on her hands finally loosened slowly.

Jueying did not live in seclusion here; he has been imprisoned here all along...

While the outside world was in turmoil, Lin Yi stayed in the Crystal Palace with his wife...

Since he gained the strength of a demon king, he has spent more time adventuring on his own and less time with those around him.

While everyone was busy with the wedding preparations, Lin Yi worked alongside them and chatted about everyday things.

We didn't talk about serious matters, only family matters.

For example, the new furniture to buy, the style of the house to be renovated, and how to arrange it. Although these are all trivial matters, it is still quite heartwarming to talk about them.

Su Xian'er and Bai Lianxian haven't gotten involved yet, and it's unclear why they've been working on a zodiac deity position for so long.

In fact, Bai Lianxian didn't spend much time fusing with the divine position, after all, Su Xian'er shared her experience, so it wasn't difficult to do so.

Bai Lianxian was originally a snake, and when asked about the characteristics of snakes, she already had an answer in mind.

Soft and adept at wrapping around people's bodies.

I won't go into the specific details of what she saw in her mind, but in short, the little golden statue turned golden in Bai Lianxian's hands.

Despite Su Xian'er's warning, Bai Lianxian still touched the divine position within her spiritual platform, and then...

The Zodiac Conference has begun again.

Goodness, the zodiac meeting, which used to be held once a month, was held every two days this time.

This time, the other zodiac signs arrived much faster.

The Rat was still absent because Lin Yi had not yet found a suitable replacement. The other zodiac signs arrived one after another, and the first thing they did was look at Bai Lianxian.

When Lin Yi killed She Yun, the other zodiac signs already sensed it, and before a day had passed, a new zodiac sign, the Snake, was born.

This kind of thing wouldn't have been unusual in the past, but with the zodiac deities having been replaced twice recently, it's understandable that these veteran zodiac guardians are feeling uneasy about another one.

They were very worried that they would be next.

Moreover, three of the eleven seats were occupied by newcomers, which is not good.

"Did you kill the snake?"

The Rooster spoke first, asking Bai Lianxian a question in a rather assertive tone.

Upon entering this place, Su Xian'er couldn't help but secretly rub her forehead.

She only told Bai Lianxian not to come in, but didn't tell her what to be careful about once she came in.

I originally planned to have a proper talk later, but who knew that Bai Lianxian, that troublemaker, wouldn't listen.

At this moment, she was really afraid that Bai Lianxian would let something slip.

But Bai Lianxian's answer left Su Xian'er dumbfounded.

"Where did you come from, you ugly thing, daring to talk to me like that? Humph, I'm not telling you."

Su Xian'er: "..."

The Rooster will probably be so angry it'll die.

Sure enough, the rooster was so angry that it wanted to jump up and peck the snake to death.

Chickens and snakes are inherently incompatible, so it's no wonder they fight each other.

However, private fights are not allowed in this place. Even if you are angry, you can only talk, not fight.

The rooster cursed loudly, "You dare say I'm ugly? Open your eyes and look! Where am I ugly?"

"I don't like talking to ugly people. If you don't think you're ugly, then you're not ugly, as long as I don't see you."

As she spoke, Bai Lianxian raised a hand to block the view, a gesture that immediately broke Youji's defenses.

"You stinking snake, dare you tell me where you are? Let's have a go if you dare!"

The Rooster is not only good at fighting others, but also quite confident in dealing with the Snake.

Su Xian'er's eyes lit up upon hearing this. She knew, of course, that Lin Yi wanted to eliminate the other zodiac animals, which was why she had never taken out the statue in her spiritual platform, so that it would be easier for the other zodiac animals to find her.

She can also find someone with a different zodiac sign.

However, Lin Yi has been quite busy lately and seems to have no time to deal with the matters related to the twelve zodiac animals.

But Su Xian'er still felt that this matter was quite important, after all, these things involved some kind of treasure and some kind of war against the heavens.

It can be said that the twelve zodiac animals may not be of much use in the short term, but in the long run, the benefits will be significant.

As Lin Yi's most caring little fox, she naturally had to consider Lin Yi's needs more.

Lin Yi didn't have time to find the twelve zodiac animals, so he had them deliver themselves to his door.

Before Bai Lianxian could speak, she quickly pretended to mediate, but actually hinted, "Please don't do this, it's not good to hurt our harmony. This snake sister is probably new here and doesn't know the rules."

We, the twelve zodiac animals, are all of the same blood and lineage; how can we allow ourselves to fight and kill each other?

She didn't know if Bai Lianxian understood, but she didn't want to hint too obviously.

Fortunately, Bai Lianxian is a clever snake.

The twelve zodiac animals are all connected by blood, so it's natural that they shouldn't be fighting and killing each other.

But she and Su Xian'er are of the same bloodline, unlike the other zodiac signs.

That means fighting and killing are inevitable.

Sister, I understand you!

After hearing Su Xian'er's words, Youji's anger subsided a little. He originally planned to let it go and not fight to the death over a few words.

Just as he was about to suppress his anger, Bai Lianxian said, "Who wants to be on the same side as this ugly guy? Don't disgust me."

"I live right by the Xiang River. Come and try if you dare, but don't blame me for not warning you—you might not leave alive! I'm not someone to be trifled with!"

Bai Lianxian's words completely enraged Youji.

"Fine, you wait! I'm coming right now, so don't try to hide if you dare!"

After saying that, the rooster disappeared from the spot.

This chicken has a really bad temper.

Watching the three interact, Wei Yang felt something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. However, she kept a close eye on it.

If the rooster returns safely, all is well. But if something really happened, then the snake and the dog become highly suspicious.

Sheep had a plan in mind, but didn't show it. She just said, "It's quite a coincidence that there have been three changes of divine positions in just one month, which had never happened in the past few decades or hundreds of years. I wonder where you got your divine position, Sister Snake?"

Surely they weren't all adopted like those born in the years of the Dragon and Dog?

It was also said that Bai Lianxian initially wanted to say that she found it, but since that explanation was blocked, she simply said directly, "The golden man you're talking about, of course I stole it. How could you find something like that?"

This is an attempt to distance herself from Su Xian'er; the effectiveness is unknown, but that's what she said anyway.

Hearing her words, everyone looked at Su Xian'er and Xiao Se with puzzled expressions.

Su Xian'er said calmly, "We are different. Everyone has different circumstances. I just happened to be lucky. I am not as strong as you, fellow Daoist, to be able to personally kill someone who has the position of a Zodiac God."

Xiao Se watched them bicker without saying a word, remaining silent.

She also felt that the new snake was not quite right. She said that she lived by the Xiang River, but with Jiang Linglong by the Xiang River, what kind of blind snake would dare to live by the Xiang River?

You might be able to dodge Jiang Linglong, but you can't dodge Lin Yi, right?
