As soon as he entered, his gaze flicked briefly toward Lily Bai.
Then he followed the Qilin Divine Lord to pay his respects and took his seat.
He never looked in her direction again.
Lily Bai sent him a greeting via voice transmission.
But he didn't respond.
It was a little awkward.
She rubbed her nose and buried herself in eating dried Fairy Fruit.
After a while, the Celestial Empress arrived in grand fashion.
She brought Henry Xiao and a goddess with her.
This goddess was quite beautiful too.
But ever since Lily Bai met the Phoenix Divine Lord and Qilin Divine Lord, no one else in the world seemed able to impress her.
Compared to them, the other gods seemed a bit ordinary.
Heaven or earth, only Damian Black could compare to them.
But Damian Black is just a demon beast.
His status is worlds apart from theirs.
Thinking of Damian made Lily's heart ache faintly again.
Stupid demon!
He hooked her soul, but didn't want her.
So annoying!
The goddess who came with the Celestial Empress had features similar to the Empress, her chin held high, looking quite proud.
Lily Bai guessed she might be a princess.
Sure enough, after they entered, the gods greeted her as 'Princess.'
At first, this princess didn't notice Lily Bai.
Once the banquet started, she suddenly noticed Lily Bai, and like everyone else, her expression changed, staring at her for a long time.
Lily Bai shivered.
A lot of people had already stared at her today.
Each person's gaze was different.
Some were sizing her up.
Some were puzzled.
Some were nostalgic.
The least friendly was Snow Yuan.
She just rolled her eyes at Lily.
But none of them showed the kind of intense hatred this princess did.
Lily Bai instantly deduced that this princess must have some grudge against Lucy Luan.
......
The Guardian Drake Lord had promised to help Lord Faustin, and he was definitely doing his best.
After several rounds of wine, he called out to Leo Li: "Young Master Drake, you guys dismantled the Execution Platform to forge Aegis Pearls and crack the Wildlands Tribulation Storm Array—how's that going?"
"Well... it's not going very smoothly," Leo Li replied, looking uncomfortable.
"Oh? Even with Aegis Pearls and help from the Sigil Sect, you still can't break the array?" the Guardian Drake Lord asked.
"I believe we'll crack it sooner or later," Leo Li said, not elaborating.
"So what's going on? Why did Lord Faustin come to me for help, asking me to save his nine disciples?" the Guardian Drake Lord asked.
Leo Li frowned and looked at Lord Faustin.
Lord Faustin stood up, looking frail, and said, "Forgive me, esteemed gods! I have nine disciples who entered the array more than a month ago. Their fate is still unknown, and they've vanished without a trace. So I came to beg the Guardian Drake Lord for help, hoping he might find a way to rescue them."
"Rescue them? They're clearly dead already. How many people have died in there?" Harvey Quinn blurted out.
"But what if they're still alive?" Lord Faustin said. "Esteemed gods, my disciples may be lacking, but they did their best. Please, I beg you to save them!"
With that, Lord Faustin shakily stepped forward and knelt on the ground, pleading.
Lily Bai and Nine Li knelt down beside him.
The Guardian Drake Lord looked embarrassed. "Well... Lord Faustin, to be honest, that tribulation storm array is filled with primordial tribulation lightning. I don't dare go in either!"
He turned to the other gods. "Does anyone have any ideas on how to save Lord Faustin's disciples?"
