Since Yi An was still thinking about her divorce from her father, Ouyang Qing hurriedly pulled her out of Tang Xiao's room to go for a walk. They invited him to join them, but he declined, so the two of them went together.
After they left, Tang Xiao immediately entered the Primordial Divine Ark, but he hurriedly exited after taking one of the Origin Elemental Flower. At first, he wanted his clone to swallow it, but he was busy fighting beasts in the forest on Earth II, so he had to swallow it himself.
Tang Xiao sat cross-legged on the bed, and he hurriedly ate the Origin Elemental Flower. He felt a slight change in his body, and he felt that it was gradually warming up. However, Xiao Ai told him that the effect wouldn't be instantaneous and that he would have to wait some time for the fruit to take effect. Thereafter, he closed his eyes and began to cultivate, waiting for it to take effect.
Hun suddenly came out of the Sun Stone, sat beside Tang Xiao, and watched him in silence. She didn't disturb him; instead, she thought about some things in her mind, hoping that his fire element would increase by several levels, as it would help speed up her recovery.

Wang Fuxi's sudden arrival startled Feng Yao and Tang Yuan, who were discussing some matters in the apartment. "Why did you suddenly come here again, Big Sis?"
"Did something happen, Big Sis?" Feng Yao also asked her.
"Where exactly is Tang Xiao hiding?" Feng Yao and Tang Yuan exchanged glances for a moment before returning their gazes to Wang Fuxi. "Shen Tianhu and Yang Mi are dead, and I can't find their son either. I'm sure he killed the three of them, but I can't sense his presence, and I don't know how he killed them either."
Tang Yuan was shocked in her heart after hearing that, mainly because Tang Xiao had not said anything to her about his actions. Moreover, Wang Fuxi had been keeping an eye on the Shen Family for some time, but he was so reckless as to kill them.
Feng Yao was also shocked to hear that, but she immediately spoke to Wang Fuxi. "Big Sis, I know you want to protect those mortals, but you don't know the cause of their deaths, and they may have died from other causes. Furthermore, you didn't see Tang Xiao kill them, so your accusations against him are baseless. In my profession as a lawyer and in our lives as cultivators, we cannot accuse others of committing crimes without evidence and witnesses. If you accuse him of crimes without them, he can also accuse you of deliberately killing them to tarnish his name."
"Are you—"
"No." Feng Yao interrupted Wang Fuxi while shaking her head. "I'm not accusing you of killing them to slander Tang Xiao, but you don't have any witnesses or evidence that he killed them, and you can't confirm the cause of their deaths either. Moreover, you've been keeping an eye on the Shen Family for the past few days, and you're much stronger than him, so he wouldn't be able to kill them under your watch."
Tang Yuan chimed in. "Big Sis, I have always admired you, but I am disappointed in you because you accused my nephew of killing the Shen Family without any witnesses or evidence. If you believe my nephew killed them, then you must be able to prove it with solid evidence; otherwise, you are no different from cultivators who have always acted as they please to suppress others with their power."
Wang Fuxi narrowed her eyes at Tang Yuan and Feng Yao, as she was sure that they knew Tang Xiao's whereabouts, and she was sure they knew how he killed the Shen Family members.
'Sigh! Xiao'er brings trouble!' Tang Yuan then spoke to Wang Fuxi again. "Big Sis, if you insist on accusing my nephew of killing the Shen Family without any evidence, then I choose to resign from my position starting today, and you can find someone else to replace me."
"Me too." Feng Yao also spoke. "Tang Xiao did kill the other families, but that doesn't mean he killed the Shen Family. However, you insist on accusing him of killing them without any evidence, and your attitude is contrary to my work as a lawyer. Since we are no longer on the same page, I also have to resign from my position, and you can replace me with someone else."
For a while, Wang Fuxi stared at Feng Yao and Tang Yuan without saying anything, and she disappeared from the apartment a moment later, making both of them sigh to themselves.
'When did Tang Xiao kill members of the Shen Family? How could he kill them under Wang Fuxi's watch?'
Tang Yuan could only shake her head. 'Xiao'er never told me anything about his plans, so I didn't know about his decision to kill them. This matter is becoming more and more serious, and Wang Fuxi will do whatever it takes to capture him, especially after this incident'
'Yes.' Feng Yao tried to contact Feng Shen, but she was shocked to hear from her uncle about Tang Xiao's actions at the auction yesterday. She found it difficult to believe, and she contacted her parents to confirm the truth, but their answer was the same as his. 'Does Tang Xiao really have the space element?'
'Eh?' Tang Yuan was surprised by her best friend's question, but Feng Yao explained the incident at yesterday's auction based on her uncle and her parents' story. 'You're right, Xiao'er does possess that kind of element. Actually, his element isn't a space element but a void element.'
'The void element?' Feng Yao was puzzled, as she had never heard of a cultivator possessing such an element before.
'I've never heard of the void element myself, but based on Xiao'er's explanation, it's a much higher level than the space element.' Tang Yuan picked up the glass in front of her and showed it to Feng Yao. 'Consider this glass to be Earth, and the hole inside is the space we currently live in. As for the void, it is the space outside this glass, and it has no end. Not even cultivators with the space element can reach that place, so Wang Fuxi will never be able to sense his presence, let alone find him.'
'Does that mean the void element is the same as outer space?'
'No.' Tang Yuan answered with a shake of her head. 'The outer space is the surface of the glass, and it protects us so we can live inside it. The void is beyond outer space, and Xiao'er said there is nothing but darkness inside that place.'
Feng Yao thought deeply as she looked at the glass in Tang Yuan's hand. 'Earth is the area inside the glass, the surface of the glass is the space that protects us, and the void is the empty space outside the glass.'
'Yes.' Tang Yuan nodded at her. 'Honestly, I still can't understand the clear distinction between the space and void elements because I don't possess either element, but Xiao'er explained it to me so I could understand it more easily.'
In fact, Tang Yuan heard about all that not from Tang Xiao but from Xiao Ai, mainly because her nephew was too busy with his own affairs. However, she was forced to tell Feng Yao that because her best friend still didn't know about the Primordial Divine Ark and other matters, she couldn't tell her everything without her nephew's permission.
Feng Yao herself had long realized that Tang Xiao had many secrets that he couldn't reveal to anyone, and she had also heard some things about his actions at the auction house before, including his gold coin stockpile. After all, she was very familiar with the Tang Clan, and she knew for sure that the clan wasn't a wealthy clan, so he couldn't possibly buy some auction items at such high prices.
Feng Yao released a soft sigh. 'I've been a cultivator for so long, but I've never even heard of the void element, and Xiao'er is probably the only cultivator who possesses it.'
'Unfortunately, you still don't know that Earth is just one planet in the lower realm, and there are countless planets in our universe.' Naturally, Tang Yuan didn't tell Feng Yao that, and she waited for the right time to tell her the truth, but everything depended on Tang Xiao. 'The problem now is what Wang Fuxi will do next, and I'm afraid she will choose to become Xiao'er's enemy. Although he is currently much weaker than her, I have no doubt that he will eventually surpass her. If she chooses to become his enemy today, I'm afraid a major battle will break out between them in the future, and she might end up tragically like those families.'
'If Wang Fuxi ends up tragically like those families, then it is her fault, and she must bear the consequences because she chose to be Xiao'er's enemy.' Tang Yuan looked at Feng Yao strangely. 'All this time, I have always respected her as my senior and leader, but I have also never agreed with her ideology of protecting mortals. Whether mortals or cultivators, they must accept the consequences of their actions, and he has the right to punish them because they killed his parents. Moreover, mortal law is too corrupt and cannot punish them, so I will always support him in killing them.'
