"Here, take it. It was refined by Kunxian." Zhuge Yuan handed ten pills to Li Huowang, who was eating dry food.

"What is this?" Li Huowang asked as he took them.

"Li Xiong, don't you know how to refine pills? How come you don't recognize the Inedia Pill? It can replace meals and greatly reduce hunger. It's very suitable for traveling."

Li Huowang picked up one and carefully examined it against the sun. It looked like a dark brown pill, the size of a pinky nail, with a strong herbal scent.

"Zhuge Xiong, let's not act rashly for now. We can wait for the right moment." Li Huowang whispered in an extremely low voice while looking at it.

Although he couldn't figure out the current situation, it didn't affect Li Huowang's goal of dealing with Beifeng.

"Don't worry, I'm cautious."

As Li Huowang relaxed his grip, the Inedia Pill in his hand rolled to the side of the wheel and instantly, Mantou rushed over.

But after licking the surface of the Inedia Pill, it showed no interest in eating it. It crouched down and continued to tilt its head, looking at the dry food in Li Huowang's hand.

Li Huowang put the remaining Inedia Pills into his pocket and his expression became serious. He asked Zhuge Yuan next to him very seriously, "Zhuge Xiong, do you have time now? I've had a question in my heart for a long time."

Zhuge Yuan didn't seem surprised at all by Li Huowang's question. He had already figured out what the other party wanted to ask, but there were always outsiders around before, making it inconvenient to ask.

"I guess you must want to know whether it's Da Liang or Da Qi now, right?"

Li Huowang nodded slightly. When he went to the Monitoring Bureau to check Zhuge Yuan's information, he didn't mention any of this, which caught him off guard.

With a snap, Zhuge Yuan directly opened his white folding fan and said with some emotion, "These things involve higher-ups. For your safety, I dare not tell you too much. But what I want to say is that Da Qi has always existed, and Da Liang is the fake one."

"Da Liang is fake? Everything I experienced in Da Liang is fake?"

Li Huowang couldn't help but laugh. What were all the hardships he had experienced in this vast world? Were they just illusions like on the other side? Was it all fake that he killed Bai Lingmiao's entire family? If it was all fake, then it would be great.

Li Huowang patiently said, "Zhuge Xiong, since you have traveled to various places in the past, you must have seen people from Da Liang, even your corpse with impure thoughts was snatched from the Monitoring Bureau of Da Liang. Why do you say that Da Liang is fake?"

"Ah, Li Xiong, this kind of fake is different. Let's take the old man who sells noodles as an example. In your eyes, he is a person from Da Liang, but in my eyes, he is a person from Da Qi. If we don't consider our perspectives, what country do you think he is?"

"But he is from Da Liang! He is not from Da Qi!"

"How do you know?"

"Because he was born in Da Liang, grew up in Da Liang, and will grow old in Da Liang. Therefore, he is considered a person from Da Liang."

"No, in my eyes, he was born in Da Qi, grew up in Da Qi, and will grow old in Da Qi. Therefore, he is considered a person from Da Qi."

"Zhuge Xiong, are you saying that you see everything as Da Qi? But why is it that only you can see Da Qi, while others see Da Liang? Have you ever thought about this?"

"No, in my eyes, what others see is also Da Qi. I know what you all see, but what you see is wrong. It must be corrected."

"Ah, why can't I make you understand? It's so obvious—" Li Huowang stopped himself from saying the words as he looked into Zhuge Yuan's eyes. He suddenly felt that arguing with him was a waste of time.

"Alright, the old man who sells noodles is from Da Qi. You win."

"Ah, you still don't trust me. Forget it, I won't argue with you anymore. It's better not to quarrel. Just watch and see. When you see enough, you will know whether my Da Qi is real or fake."

Zhuge Yuan left, still not showing much interest. It seemed that he was disappointed that Li Huowang didn't believe in the existence of Da Qi.

Meanwhile, Li Huowang frowned, thinking about the various possibilities that could arise in the current situation.

Heart, Su Xin, and Xin Zhuo, none of them were easy to deal with. No matter what Xin Zhuo obtained from the three previous incarnations, this strange change was definitely caused by Zhuge Yuan.

As for how this change was caused, he still couldn't figure it out.

"Could it be that Zhuge Yuan brought the Da Qi from a thousand years ago and the Da Liang from a thousand years later? But that's not right. Could it be that a noodle-selling old couple existed in these places a thousand years ago and a thousand years later?"

When you're just trying to make great content at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

The old man who sold noodles had changed his face three times in total, as if there were always two different noodle stalls from the beginning to the end. But Li Huowang was standing right next to him and was very certain that the old man who sold noodles had never changed.

It was as if the whole world was acting, holding two different scripts. The first script was shown to normal people like him, while the second script was shown to Zhuge Yuan.

Thinking about these things, Li Huowang couldn't help but think of what Jixiang said to him in the Buddha Bone Temple.

"Is this the strange but reasonable thing he mentioned? Does this kind of thing often happen around Xin Zhuo?"

"Master's destiny is to manage decay, Bahu is to manage pain. Then what does this bullshit Three Incarnations Above Old manage? Why can it cause such strange changes in Zhuge Yuan?"Li Huowang knew it was best not to dwell on such matters, lest they bring trouble. But when the issue was right in front of him, he couldn't help but think about it.

"Forget it, forget it," Li Huowang shook his throbbing head, deciding to just believe whatever Zhuge Yuan said. After all, it had nothing to do with him.

His only goal was to catch Beifeng.

Zhuge Yuan had killed a wealthy man, and the Taoist sects that deceive beings would definitely not let it go. As long as he stayed by Zhuge Yuan's side, there was a high probability of catching Beifeng.

The sound of "clip-clop" footsteps rang out. Li Huowang looked up in the direction of the sound and saw a young man in a white robe. Li Huowang could already smell a faint scent of blood from him.

"Junior Xia Risheng, greets Lord Li."

"What's the matter?" Li Huowang asked. He remembered this man as a member of the Da Qi's Skywatching Bureau, but he wasn't sure if he was here to gather information or for some other purpose.

"Lord Li, I am, like you, a follower of the Ao Jing Sect!" The young man excitedly opened his robe, revealing a body covered in barbed hooks.

"If there's nothing else, you can go. The road is still long." Li Huowang was not a real follower of the Ao Jing Sect, and he was afraid that talking too much would give him away.

"Lord Zhuge mentioned that you have undergone the Cang Keng Ascension three times? Is this true?" The young man looked at Li Huowang with eyes full of admiration.
