The Celestial Masters guarding the periphery had already set up a sealing array on Master Cheng's orders to prevent Lily from escaping again through teleportation.

As the forgotten array dissipated, the true appearance of the Carefree Sect's testing ground was revealed to everyone.

Golden palaces were built along the mountains, forming a continuous stretch, with most of the structures embedded into the mountains, and the mechanisms and arrays turning smoothly, resembling a giant huddled within.

The plaque on the main hall was inscribed with the words "Lily Divine Palace."

The sight left Master Cheng stupefied.

He wondered if Lily wasn't planning to flee but was secretly planning to ascend the throne here. What on earth was this regulation for?

However, just as Master Cheng was about to enter the Lily Divine Palace to drag Lily out.

The Lily Divine Palace stood up by itself.

The earth and rocks disintegrated, the palace deformed, and a golden giant stood upright on the ground.

After the transformation was complete, the entire body of the giant opened and closed its mechanisms again, revealing pink crystals underneath, with forked horns on its head and a giant shield in its left hand drawn from void.

In its right hand, a small box transformed and stretched into an enormous Fire Qilin gun.

After the giant made its dazzling appearance, it didn't flee but instead took a stance of a subduing dragon and tiger flow tactical shooting, aiming at Master Cheng.

The posture left Master Cheng shocked once again.

Besides his unlucky senior brother Tang, it had been a long time since anyone dared to point a gun at him.

Just when the golden giant aimed its gun at Master Cheng, ready to fire, two conflicting voices suddenly echoed from the center of its chest armor, presumably where the cockpit was.

One was likely Lily's voice.

"Are you stupid? That's Master Cheng. Why aren't you running, and instead raising a gun?"

The other voice was somewhat unfamiliar, but he had heard it before. It seemed to be from that half-star disc magical artifact.

Of course, it might not be that, but that's not important.

What's important is that the other voice was arrogant and provocative.

"Live to fight, die to count. Back in the day, I slapped Mahayana's head. When paths meet, the brave wins! Thousand Mechanism City, charge!!!"

However, although courage is an anthem for humanity and artifact spirits, in the face of absolute power disparity, singing anthems is futile.

Master Cheng admired their bravery, so he decided to give his all.

The Taiyi Golden Crystal Sword in his hand vanished, then hovered above the ninth heaven, as his right hand emanated spiritual light, a Mountain and Sea scroll appeared suddenly, enveloping everything around.

Just before Master Cheng continued, the golden Thousand Mechanism Giant suddenly knelt.

Perhaps Lily had regained control.

"Master Cheng, no, no, no! I was wrong, I surrender! I'm turning myself in! This thing is expensive. Don't break it!"

Master Cheng, "..."

...

A short time later.

After Lily, Tongtong, Old Thing, Miemie, and the half-star disc, all these accomplices were escorted from the various cockpits of the Thousand Mechanism Giant, Zhang Ze and his group also arrived here.

Upon seeing Zhang Ze, Lily immediately put on a smile and greeted him cheekily.

"Boss, I've missed you to death. Let's go.

"Let's go back to Thousand Mechanism Pavilion. Oh, by the way, the cafeteria recently got a new chef. Those braised ribs are so tasty..."

Zhang Ze first glanced at the kneeling Thousand Mechanism Pavilion version of the Unicorn Gundam before reaching out to lift the sneakily behaving Lily.

Zhang Ze coldly said.

"Speak! Leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist! What are you up to?"

Lily refused to admit to anything even at the sight of the coffin.

"No, I didn't do anything. I'm just... making a transforming Thousand Mechanism City.

"Because it cost a bit more, so I adjusted the accounts myself, tweaking the database a little.

"I really didn't do anything else."

As she said this, she shamefully looked at Xiangxiang, looking just like Maomao who had stolen a bone.

Zhang Ze handed Lily over to Junior Sister for interrogation, then turned to interrogate the female spy Miemie.

"You, what are you guys up to?"

"I don't know. I was just passing through. What are you talking about, I don't understand."

In playing dumb, the doll-like spy Miemie said.

Zhang Ze, "..."

"Seems like I'll need to use some measures." Zhang Ze said, taking out a bottle of lubricant.

"You wouldn't want this doll body to be covered in oil and impossible to clean, would you? Speak up, confess truthfully!"

Miemie's expression changed, "You scoundrel!"

Zhang Ze, "If you don't want to be oiled, confess honestly."

Miemie, "I, I don't know!"

While Zhang Ze was preparing to harshly interrogate the female spy, Master Cheng wasn't idle either, circling around the kneeling and kowtowing Thousand Mechanism Giant.

He pondered how this thing could be so agile.

Simple object control and mechanism arts couldn't achieve such a level.

Or rather, with Lily's cultivation, it couldn't be done, even with those magical artifacts and Star God assistance.

Master Cheng stopped at the rear, gazing reflectively at the pink light flow under the armor seams.

Could it be related to this?

He summoned his magic sword suspended in the sky, and gently pierced a spot on the rear armor, creating a small opening.

As expected, once the armor and then restriction was removed, an array he had never seen appeared before him.

The secret seemed to lie beneath this array.

Master Cheng reached out to activate it.

His actions weren't concealed, naturally witnessed by the sneaky glancing Lily.

Seeing Master Cheng's actions, Lily's face instantly turned pale.

"No! Master Cheng! No!"

But it was too late. Curiosity doesn't just kill the Hakaze, but also the Old Ascender.

In the instant the array was activated, the light flow on the Thousand Mechanism Giant abruptly extinguished.

Then countless 'cute little guys' poured out from the array's opening, covering Master Cheng's face.

"Buzz~ buzz~ buzz buzz~"

"Rustle rustle~ rustle rustle~"

There were many, indeed a lot, so many, a crazy amount of insects...
