Gu Xiaoxi had never been one to have a good temper.

This woman called Li Huo was clearly here to provoke her.

No matter whether her words were true or false, at this moment, she had succeeded in angering her.

Gu Xiaoxi swung her large hand, and the white light, like a ribbon, charged directly at Li Huo.

Li Huo, wary, quickly retreated, but the white light’s fierce speed was unstoppable.

Her face turned terrifyingly pale with fear, and, gritting her teeth, she had no choice but to take Gu Xiaoxi’s attack head-on.

The white Spiritual Energy, carrying the force of toppling mountains and overturning seas, sent Li Huo flying. Her fiery-red fairy dress became tattered and torn.

Gu Xiaoxi swept the woman a cold glance and withdrew her hand, "Having suffered some grievances in the mortal world over the years, my mood isn’t great. Don’t provoke me again."

Divine power can create all things, and even without awakening, its strength is not to be underestimated.

Although Li Huo had cultivated for over a hundred thousand years, she was still not strong enough in front of Gu Xiaoxi.

It was Gu Xiaoxi’s first return, and not wanting to cause a major incident, she naturally wouldn’t take Li Huo’s life for the sake of Heavenly Court’s dignity.

"Zi Yun, take me to see the Grand Master," Gu Xiaoxi commanded and turned to stride toward the palace interior. Everything here was unfamiliar to her, but through Li Huo, she could sense the dangers she would face upon this return.

They wanted to kill her! Gu Xiaoxi couldn’t help but reveal a bitter smile.

And what about Bai Yaxuan? Since she had returned, he must have as well.

Did he feel the same way? After a hundred thousand years of tangled love and hate, was this still the outcome?

Would he hate her, to the death?

The moment Gu Xiaoxi turned around, Li Huo, gritting her teeth, suddenly revealed a ball of golden flame in the palm of her hand.

With the appearance of the flame, the entire mid-air space of a hundred acres became scorching hot.

Gu Xiaoxi also felt this terrifying power and instantly turned back, using her Spiritual Power to create a sturdy barrier, enveloping all the palace attendants to protect them against the terrible power of the fire in Li Huo’s hands.

"Your Highness Lan Xi, you must leave quickly. Don’t worry about us," Zi Yun reacted the quickest, immediately recognizing what Li Huo held in her hand. It was the Golden Crow’s fire seed, the only relic left behind by the Sun God before he returned to Chaos.

Although tens of thousands of years had passed, it was, after all, a relic of a deity, containing power that ordinary people cannot fathom. Moreover, Gu Xiaoxi’s memory had not fully recovered, and though she had resumed her position, her strength was suppressed to only half of what it once was.

The seemingly ordinary little flame, under Li Huo’s incantation, burned rapidly. The palace’s stone pillars, the green grass, and the immortal trees instantly turned to dust.

Gu Xiaoxi channeled her Spiritual Power to resist this terrifying force, and sweat gradually appeared on her forehead. Fortunately, she was able to protect the palace attendants around her, though many palaces and celestial trees were destroyed.

She hadn’t expected the object in Li Huo’s hand to be so formidable. However, looking at Li Huo’s expression, it wasn’t easy for her either.

"Your Highness, she’s using the Sun God’s fire seed. Utilizing this thing consumes a lot of cultivation, and I believe she can’t hold on much longer," Zi Yun explained with a grave expression, also using her meager immortal power to resist the fire seed’s might.

Gu Xiaoxi nodded in understanding and then used even stronger Spiritual Energy to resist the force.

Even though she had not recovered to her peak period, since she could grant life to all things in the world, she would have an inexhaustible supply of Spiritual Energy.

How could she endure her?

After about twenty seconds, Li Huo’s face gradually turned deathly pale. It seemed that her cultivation was about to be exhausted and she would be unable to control the fire seed any longer.

Gu Xiaoxi’s eyes turned cold, her palm condensing Spiritual Energy, as she immediately emitted a fierce killing intent. She was truly enraged now.

To be challenged the moment she arrived home; if she didn’t teach a harsh lesson, wouldn’t it seem as if anyone could trouble her just for disliking her?
