Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up

"Could it be that besides this, you have no other laws, and are you just a wooden man? If that's the case, I think you're not strong enough?"

The Nine Dragon Jade Seal's words were somewhat mocking, making Lin Facong very uncomfortable, but in his view, the Nine Dragon Jade Seal was someone subdued by him and not reconciled inside.

That's why he spoke like this, but with time, it would get better. To save face, Lin Facong said proudly.

"You don't understand this, though it's just the Law of Wood; it's a very powerful one since two forests are under my control.

If you don't believe it, I can show you, but we can delay this matter for now and look at Zhao Yi first."

Lin Facong, full of pride, came to Zhao Yi and tapped him, prompting Zhao Yi to burst into laughter.

"One of the future rulers of the cosmos, now you're killed by me, and I think the Divine Tree should thank me.

Given his abilities and character, he wouldn't find it easy to kill you."

Just as Lin Facong was enjoying his moment, the wooden man suddenly grabbed his right hand with lightning speed, while the Nine Dragon Jade Seal bound his left hand with a stream of water.

Lin Facong was stunned; he couldn't quite understand why the wooden man attacked without his command. Then the wooden man's other hand abruptly penetrated Lin Facong's chest.

Before he could react, the wooden man began to crack, releasing flames that rapidly enveloped Lin Facong's body.

Lin Facong cried out in pain as he waved his arms, breaking free from Zhao Yi and the Nine Dragon Jade Seal, and then he ran wildly through the forest.

The flames burned for nearly a quarter of an hour before they gradually extinguished; however, Lin Facong was left extremely weak, scarcely breathing.

Lying on the ground, he looked at Zhao Yi, who had restored his original form, surprisingly asking in a weak voice.

"Never have I seen someone restore their original state after being hit by the Power of Laws; could you tell me why? You must realize that I am dying.

At least let me die knowing why; you should grant me this wish."

"I secretly used fire, enduring excruciating pain to evaporate all the wood within my body, then created an illusion so you would think I was entirely under your control."

Upon hearing Zhao Yi's explanation, Lin Facong suddenly understood; helplessly, he laughed and said.

"I get it now, the reason you had Lin Facong use the water stream was to make your good play seem flawless.

After all, those things were deep within the body; burning with fire would be incredibly painful. If you cried out without cause, I would have doubted you."

"Right, that's the situation. Since you understand, can you now peacefully depart?"

As Zhao Yi finished speaking, Lin Facong transformed into dust and vanished, as the surrounding forest gradually disappeared, returning to the Gobi Desert.

A quarter of an hour later, the forest completely vanished, and Zhao Yi realized the long river was not far off, judging it to be no more than two to three miles away.

This discovery thrilled Zhao Yi.

"Unexpectedly stumbled upon the long river; it seems Heaven hasn't treated you poorly, don't you think?"

"I can only say the master has great fortune, but since the battle has just settled, I advise rest for now.

You consumed a large amount of Spiritual Power using fire to burn the wood, and more importantly, your energy and spirit have been greatly depleted."

Agreeing with the Nine Dragon Jade Seal's suggestion, Zhao Yi didn't refuse, noticing his back drenched without knowing when.

The exhaustion akin to collapse, Zhao Yi sat on the Gobi Desert, eventually lying down, gazing at the sky.

"Do you have anything to eat? I'm somewhat hungry; maybe eating or drinking something could help me recover faster."

Just after Zhao Yi spoke, a cold wind blew, making him jump up and warily scanning the surroundings, noticing many green lights turning into figures.

Zhao Yi wasn't sure if these figures were foes or friends, watching them cautiously.

Then, one figure spoke.

"We were once sealed wooden men; now that guy has died, we regained our freedom and can return to our hometowns and worlds.

Before leaving, we wanted to express gratitude for restoring our freedom. If you're planning to fish in the long river, I suggest catching the Five-Colored Fish.

That's the one with five colors on its body."

Hearing this, Zhao Yi was somewhat surprised, curious about why the figure wanted him to catch such fish, seeking explanation.

But the figure shook his head, saying.

"I can't tell you because it's a secret; if I reveal it, I'd violate the cosmos laws and disappear entirely."

"Alright, if that's the case, I won't press you. But you also know, the cosmos is nearing its end, many of the Three Thousand Worlds are gone.

Returning home might be a challenge; if you don't mind, you can go to the New World."

The Nine Dragon Jade Seal used the opportunity to advertise the New World, listing its advantages, thrilling everyone.

Simultaneously, there's a sense of melancholy; they've waited for centuries, even millennia, hoping to return one day.

But now, gaining freedom, whether home exists remains a question; however, they're not averse to the New World.

After all, they need a place to settle eventually, Zhao Yi seeing their agreement, drew a cosmos map mid-air.

Pointing out the New World's location, he said.

"Once you arrive, find someone named Linglong, mention that I sent you; they'll help you find a suitable spot temporarily.

In the future, once we regain the Underworld, if you wish to reincarnate, I won't stop you."

Zhao Yi's plans were thorough, receiving gratitude from everyone, who then transformed into light, leaving the Cosmic Origin.

Watching them depart, Zhao Yi felt sentimental.

"Don't know if we'll succeed this time, able to return home sooner. Honestly, seeing them go home makes me homesick."

Towards the end, Zhao Yi pretended to cry, wiping his eyes, making morning laugh heartily.

"Master, if you're truly homesick, why not pick up speed instead of acting because your acting is really bad."

"You brat, daring to call my acting bad, I am still the King of the New World."

The barren Gobi Desert echoed with Zhao Yi and the Nine Dragon Jade Seal's laughter.
