Chapter 212: Another Idea
"Now I need to leave some evidence that Yang has become a demonic cultivator, then spread the news," a new idea then came to MingYue's mind.
At first, she wanted to pursue Yang Fei directly to take the sword, but now she wanted to use him to gain some fame and become her scapegoat.
'As I expand the sect, bloodshed is inevitable; might as well use him to create some power vacancies. I can then let MingHao and his group take care of this, making them heroes and gain fame,' MingYue thought.
Her lips then curled into a smile as she planned to have more discussions on this plan with Alex later.
She then mumbled with a chuckle, "Is this what Alex said, 'Create the problem, then sell the solution?'"
It didn't take long for her to regroup with the Fang Clan and then start moving toward her secret realm.
Meanwhile, a distance away from the place, Yang Fei was cursing in pain. "I knew you couldn't be trusted at all!"
In the place where he was cut, a new arm had already appeared. But it was different from his body; it looked like the claw of the Taotie. From the palm, an eye emerged.
"Don't blame me! Blame that stupid frog that has no use and how weak you are. We have no choice; we need to fuse, or we will die."
"Fuck you! I will not give my body to you!" Yang replied coldly.
They then start fighting in his inner world.
Back at Scorched Dune Labyrinth, Alex, Zold, and Olivia had already returned from the secret realm; he brought William and Alice with him.
Blaire, Sasha, Aurora, and Lily decided to stay behind.
After everything that happened, Lily felt it was better for her to help with the aftermath.

The King was dead. He may have been a villain, but his strong presence kept the royal court united.
Now, with his demise, factions started to form again, fighting to gain the throne.
Lily's brother is also not spared in this fight despite having no desire to become King. This still didn't change his background. Having a sister who was a guardian gave him a huge edge as a new King candidate.
Actually, this fight could have been avoided if Amu had intervened, but after the fight with the King, he was busy training himself.
The situation also became more chaotic as the existence of the Fairy became public.
As Freya was angry with what her daughter did, she let them take care of this matter.
With Alice gone, Aurora had no choice but to take matters into her own hands. Her plan to live peacefully with Blaire failed.
As the only interspecies couple, they acted as mediators and helped the two races to coexist peacefully.
As they teleported out by Aimu, a few people from the fairy race also joined them. But they didn't appear with Alex and the others.
Alex speculated the teleportation circle also had a method to directly transfer them outside of the planet.
William and Lily are staying inside the Awe cube because Alex doesn't want the attention of the one who created the labyrinth.
Although he honestly doubted, with everything that happened, they didn't realize anything. But still, the less they knew, the better it would be.
Olivia was still unconscious all this time, even after she was checked by Freya and Vesa.
They found nothing wrong with her body, but based on Vesa's analysis, her soul was deep in slumber, so it was better to just let her awaken naturally.
This made Alex decide to put her in an Awe cube with Alice and William to take care of her.
These Awe cubes were modified to not instill loyalty like the others have. He made these specially to put his family and friends in case of an emergency.
For example, in Olivia's situation, it was far better to bring her inside a cube compared to taking unconscious people inside a dungeon.
After he went out, Alex went to check the portal Emily and others found. But unfortunately, at that time, the portal had already closed. Making him feel confused even more, he had some talk with Aimu and Freya about the Ifrit race and the situation.
'They do tell me they don't know anything, but based on Freya's expression, I am sure she has a guess.' Alex thought.
Right now, they were moving through the city ruin, looking for a tunnel to return outside.
"Brother, are you sure the map he gave us is correct?" Emily asked.
Alex had gotten the whole planet map from Aimu, based on the information he got, this place in the past was a fertile land, but it got destroyed turning it into a desert.
As for the one responsible, it was a group of humans. This made it clear to Alex that the Human progenitor was behind the invasion of Feladine.
"I am sure it's Emily, even if this place is transformed into a dungeon, I doubt they will go as far as moving the continent.
So, going this way should allow us to get out in the middle of the labyrinth.
I just hope it will be close to the boss's location." Alex replied.
Quartz, meanwhile, walked in a daze. The information she got was too overwhelming for her.
After coming out, Alex explained the situation to them, including about the progenitor. The idea that a human progenitor was behind the dungeon made her angry and then confused.
She just could not accept it, all the tragedy that happened, all those losses, they always blamed it on other species. But now it turned out it was another human, and the goal was just to make them stronger.
"Are you still mad about it, Aunt Quartz?" Emily asked, seeing her expression.
"Of course, I don't get how you, Alex, and Zold could be so calm about this. Dungeons were man-made, we did it to ourselves, and then the dark zone, red zone, all of this is a product of our own making."
