She lay down, but her eyes remained open.
Since she had already guessed Huo Xi's intentions, she had to find a way as soon as possible to act before the Light God recovered.
Tuoba Rui had once said in his letter that as long as he destroyed all the statues of the Light God s in the shrine, he would not be able to come to this world, because he did not exist here.
These were the rules between the world and the world. They could not be crossed over.
So they only needed to be faster than Huo Xi.
She thought for a moment before her eyes lit up. It was actually quite easy to stall for time, but it was just to prevent her from receiving so much faith energy.
However, she felt that Jun Tianxia and the Young Master Wu Hen could think of it too and did not spread the news out.
She did not go out during the second day of the exercise. Instead, she sat in her own room, drinking while looking out the window. Her emotions were very complicated.
The woman came over and asked, "Boss, are you in a bad mood?"
"A little." Hua Ruge raised his wine jar towards her: "Come in and have a drink."
"Alright." The woman walked in.
The two of them sat facing each other and drank in silence.
The woman couldn't help but ask, "Head, do you have any worries for someone as powerful as you?"
In her eyes, Hua Ruge could do whatever he wanted. With her beauty and powerful strength, she could be said to cover the sky in the western border. She even had to give the Light God Sect some face.
What was there to worry about?
"Am I already so amazing?" Hua Ruge was a little dazed when he said this.
The woman nodded affirmatively. "It's even more amazing than what I've said."
The corner of Hua Ruge's lips curled up, and said: "I was thinking about what happened a few years ago, and listening to it now gives me a sudden feeling of being born from another world."
"What is the Boss thinking?" The woman drank a mouthful of wine and asked again.
"A friend, a very good one." Hua Ruge replied.
The woman did not know whether to ask or not when she stopped.
"But she's not with me now. I don't know if I can go back to the old days." Hua Ruge continued.
The woman thought for a moment and asked, "Why?"
"Because of a bastard." Hua Ruge then sighed, "I am thinking why the heavens are so cruel to her. She could have clearly led a better life."
The woman didn't know what to say, so she could only drink.
"There are a lot of things that don't change just because I have power. That's why I'm troubled." Hua Ruge looked at her and said.
The woman nodded.
"To put it bluntly, it is impossible to escape from trouble by birth. The only thing we can do is to become stronger and defeat them." Hua Ruge said again.
The woman looked at Hua Ruge's serious expression and said with some surprise: "Boss, this is the first time I've seen you speak so seriously."
Hua Ruge laughed when he heard it, "Am I that unreasonable?"
The woman was stunned for a moment. She resisted the urge to wildly nod her head and shook her head.
Hua Ruge laughed again. He still clearly knew what she looked like.
The next afternoon both of them drank in the cell. Although it was against the rules but no guard came to manage the prison.
Of course, even if he didn't interfere, he still had to do it after all.
At the same time, Jun Tianxia had already communicated with the Young Master Wu Hen and agreed on a solution.
Just as Hua Ruge had thought, interfering with the shrine's faith collection would make the number of people who believed fewer.
This was because the Western Light God had already been passed down for more than a year. There was not much that could be done, but the Central Plains and the Southern Plains were different.
The first thing the two of them did after confirming their plan was to inform the major forces under them to recruit new disciples at the same time and to use the collection of top-grade cultivation techniques as a temptation.
The moment this news came out, it attracted many rogue cultivators. After all, the God of Faith wasn't as realistic as cultivating on his own.
Moreover, in order to attract people to them, these powers lowered their requirements, increasing the chances of those who had been rejected in the past.
Of course, in order to make the plan less obvious, the two of them came in batches.
First, a large power accepted a new disciple, and then a middle power started taking in a group of new disciples. Then, the low-level disciples were recruited, and most of the rogue cultivators were taken in.
Furthermore, most of these forces did not believe in Light God. After pulling the disciples into the mountain, they started teaching them. The disciples became intoxicated with this matter and all of them stopped thinking about believing in Light God.
As a result, the amount of faith power Huo Xi received decreased drastically. In a month's time, it was only two-thirds of what it was before.
She frowned as she looked at the power on top of the altar, her eyes filled with rage.
The Flamephoenix spoke up from the side. "Your Highness, they are clearly disobeying the rules of nature."
"How did they guess?" Huo Xi was a little confused.
The Flamephoenix asked, "What did you guess?"
"I want God Father to recuperate from his injuries as soon as possible. As long as he appears, they can forget about living." Huo Xi continued, "That's why I'm collecting power on such a large scale."
The Flamephoenix suddenly understood.
"They didn't react in time, how did they figure it out now?" The more Huo Xi said, the more puzzled he became.
"As expected, they are all very clever, it was really hard for His Highness to mediate with them." The Flamephoenix said from the side.
Huo Xi rubbed his brow: "It's more than just hard work, as long as I make a decision wrongly, then the entire Light God Palace will be involved."
"The Holy Maiden really does make us feel ashamed." The Flamephoenix said again.
"You little girl, what are you ashamed of?" Huo Xi said, and then looked at the divine altar.
"This is my last trump card, and it's been seen through as well. What else can I do next?" she muttered to herself.
Fire Phoenix said at the side: "Your Highness, don't we still have Hua Ruge as our trump card, we can use it to threaten Young Master Wu Hen and Jun Tianxia."
"Threatening them for what?" Huo Xi asked.
"Tell them to stop messing around and focus on helping our temple." Fire Phoenix said without thinking.
Huo Xi looked at her: "What evidence do you have that they are causing trouble?"
"I ?" The Flamephoenix couldn't finish her words. After a long while, she said, "That's right. The major powers are all independent in name. If they refuse to take responsibility, we can't do anything about it."0
Huo Xi leaned on his chair, and said indifferently: "After all, this is their territory. The so-called 'strong dragons don't press on the ground, snakes are definitely not their opponents while playing dirty."
"What does the Holy Maiden mean?"
"I can only wait. Thankfully, one third isn't too many. I have to hurry up and build the shrine. I'll make it up to you." Huo Xi said somewhat helplessly.
It wasn't that she didn't want to salvage the situation, but that there was really no other way.
The Flamephoenix nodded.
Huo Xi rubbed the space between his eyebrows again, "I hope God Father can recover soon, this situation is really getting harder and harder to control."
