"I didn't expect you to come back to this place, Ying'er." Lucas immediately said to her as soon as he saw Danielle and Nangong Ying'er. "Soon, the twelve God Kings will gather again, and Travis will definitely gather us later."
"Lucas, I don't want to have a pointless talk with you." Nangong Ying said as she pulled Danielle to sit beside her; she then glanced at Su Yan briefly, and they nodded in understanding to each other. "So, what's your purpose in coming here?"
"Hey, you're as impatient as ever, huh?" Lucas then turned to Danielle. "I want to work together with you."
"Oh? What kind of cooperation do you want from me?" Danielle nonchalantly asked.
Lucas then said to her. "We all know that Travis and Lucifer have signed a pact, but we also know that they only want to take advantage of each other, so I want to work with you to prevent the war from happening."
Danielle raised her eyebrows. "Aren't you one of the people who supported the war? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
Lucas chuckled and answered her. "I wanted the war to happen, but the involvement of those demons changed my mind."
Danielle looked curiously at Lucas. "Why is that?"
"Because I want control over that place." Lucas answered bluntly. "However, Lucifer also wants that place because he needs more soldiers to fight Michael, and Travis has agreed to his request."
Nangong Ying'er and Su Yuan snorted upon hearing that, but they didn't say anything to him, and Danielle asked Lucas. "Aren't you afraid I will tell my father about this?"
"Haha." Lucas laughed at that. "I definitely wouldn't have come here if I was scared, right? Moreover, we both know each other's plans, so I don't believe you would take me down, for I could also bring you down. Even though you are Travis' daughter, he would not hesitate to kill you if he found out about your plan."
Danielle didn't deny Lucas' words as she knew that her father was that kind of person, and he would not hesitate to sacrifice anyone to fulfill his ambitions including his children, for they were all just tools in her eyes.
Lucas then said again. "I know you don't want the war to happen and want to dethrone your father. As for me, I don't like being ordered around by others, so I want to rule over that place. So, wouldn't it be better if we working together? Once we manage to do that, you can become the new ruler of this place, and I will become the ruler of that place. That way we don't have to clash with each other, and we can get what we want."
Danielle turned to Nangong Ying'er for her opinion. "So what are you going to do for now?"
"For now, we must get rid of Lucille before the other God Kings return." Before Nangong Ying'er interrupted him, Lucas directly explained to them with a confident look. "I know she's always been by Travis' side, but I have a secret weapon, and he won't know she's gone from his side."
Seeing Lucas' look, the two women wondered in their hearts, and Nangong Ying'er asked him again. "Are you sure you can capture Lucille?
"Hey! Of course, I can't capture Lucille by myself." Lucas answered with a bitter smile. "However, we should be able to capture her if the three of us work together."
Nangong Ying'er and Danielle exchanged glances after they heard that, and they were sure they could capture Lucille if they moved together. Moreover, Alea and Su Yan were still by their side, so their chances of success would increase even more.
"So what's your decision?" Lucas impatiently asked them.
Seeing them like that, Su Yuan sent Nangong Ying'er a voice transmission. 'Contact Ling Yun to help us, and we will success.'
'You're right.' Nangong Ying'er replied to Su Yuan as she nodded slightly, and she then contacted Ling Yun to ask his opinion on the matter, but he asked her to postpone the plan until tomorrow night, for he was still busy with the tournament. "All right, we can do it according to your plan, but we can't do it now, and we will do it tomorrow night. Otherwise, we will all die at Travis' hands if we fail to capture Lucille."
"Okay, I agree with you, for I also have to prepare my secret weapon first, so we will make our move tomorrow night." After that, Lucas and Su Yuan left Danielle's residence.
Danielle then asked. "Ying'er, are you sure this plan will work?"
Nangong Ying'er took Danielle's hand and said to reassure her. "Don't worry, we will definitely succeed in capturing Lucille, especially since someone will help us later."
"Huh? Who's going to help us?" Danielle asked in confusion.
But Nangong Ying'er answered her with a mysterious smile. "I'm not going to tell you now, and you'll find out about the person tomorrow night."
"Why are you being secretive with me now?" Danielle asked as she pouted her lips.
However, Nangong Ying'er laughed and pulled Danielle back into their room.

Meanwhile, Feng Xing and Jiang Chen's battle was still going on fiercely, but both looked frustrated, especially since they still couldn't knock each other out after they had fought for so long; even their Qi was already running low.
'Sigh, I can't think of any other way to destroy his perfect defense! No matter how often I break his defense, it always recovers quickly.' Feng Xing muttered in her heart as she continued to flap her phoenix wings.
On the other hand, Jiang Chen was also muttering in his heart. 'Feng Xing's speed was incredible, and I didn't have the opportunity to approach her at all. At this rate, both of us will soon run out of Qi and lose this competition.'
Suddenly, the Earth-Devouring Sable told her son. 'Jiang Chen! If you want to win against Feng Xing, you must use that technique. If you devour these cultivators' Qi, you can buy more time, and she will definitely run out of Qi later.'
However, Jiang Chen rejected her idea. 'I'm sorry, Mother. This is a competition, so I won't use that technique, and I don't want to win over Feng Xing using such underhanded means.'
'But-'
'No, Mother. Even if I were to lose to Feng Xing, I still wouldn't use that technique.' Jiang Chen answered her decisively, causing the Earth-Devouring Sable to let out a resigned sigh.
'All right then, I won't force you anymore.'
Jiang Chen then said to Feng Xing. "Miss Xing, if we continue like this, we will both lose."
"That's true." Feng Xing nodded to him. "How about we determine the victor among us in another way?
"What's your idea?" Jiang Chen asked back.
Feng Xing thought for some time before answering him. "Since my ability is attack, and yours is defense, how about we use our best abilities for one last clash? If my last technique can't penetrate your defense, I will admit defeat, but vice versa."
"That's a great idea." Jiang Chen replied with an approving nod. "Let's do it then, and we will end this match with our final technique."
"En."
After that, Feng Xing closed her eyes and exerted the remaining Qi within her body, causing her body to be enveloped by the Phoenix Flames.
Jiang Chen also did the same with her; he used all of his last Qi to build up his defenses; a lot of ground surrounded him and formed several thick Earth Domes.
Seeing that, the spectators immediately fell silent and held their breath, and their eyes were fixed on the two people.
Minutes later, Feng Xing and Jiang Chen opened their eyes, and the two shouted simultaneously. "Let's do it!"
Fang Xing swung her sword at Jiang Chen, and a gigantic firebird shot swiftly toward him.
On the other hand, Jiang Chen channeled all of his remaining Qi into his thick Earth Domes to strengthen them even more.
A huge explosion instantly rang out in the cultivator's ears; even a strong wind wave swept them away, and dust blocked their sight as Feng Xing's gigantic firebird collided with Jiang Chen's Earth Domes, causing his defenses to crumble one by one.
Minutes later, the situation eased again, but their view was still blocked by the scattered dust.
Xuanyuan Xue'er immediately waved her hands to shake off the dust, but they were shocked to see Feng Xing kneeling on one knee while holding her sword with trembling hands, for the Qi in her body was almost empty.
On the other hand, Jiang Chen's Earth Dome still had one layer remaining, and Feng Xing sighed heavily after she saw that. "Your defenses are strong, even my last attack couldn't break them down, so you are the winner."
"Thank you, Miss Xing." Jiang Chen said as he cupped his hands. "However, I also admit that your last attack was powerful, and I would probably lose to you if you used it in the first place."
Feng Xing only smiled after hearing that, and her body suddenly became weak. However, Ling Yun immediately moved to her side and supported her. "Even though you lost, you had a great fight, Xing'er."
"Haha." Feng Xing gave a soft laugh before she closed her eyes, and Ling Yun carried her directly. He then threw a Large Qi Restoration Liquid at Jiang Chen. "You can drink it; I want to face you when you are in your prime tomorrow."
