The Primordial Law

Chapter 217 Ge Xiantong's Trail

"Oh, everyone's here! Brother Weiyi, you've finally come out of seclusion. We haven't had a chance to get together these past few days."

After Tang Wanqiu arrived, she grabbed Li Weiyi's hand tightly and was extremely enthusiastic.

Accompanying them was Wanyan Xiaose, dressed in a green robe.

She was the top expert among the younger generation in Yingzhou, Northern Border. She wore many exquisite silver ornaments and looked like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl. Her figure was extremely voluptuous, with beautiful curves in her chest and waist, which was incomparable to the budding Li Ling and Yao Yin.

She not only cultivates martial arts, but also possesses extremely high attainments in mental power, being a Grand Mental Master of the Calamity Fire Realm, and raising countless insects.

"Brother, I heard you've raised seven rare insects of the rank of Marquis. Could you show them to your little sister?"

Wanyan Xiaose's two almond-shaped eyes were bright and full of expectation. Coupled with her exquisitely beautiful face, she stared straight at Li Weiyi. It would be hard for any other man to refuse her.

Li Weiyi was pondering how to refuse.

But then, Li Ling scoffed, "The so-called seven marquis-level rare insects are nothing but a scheme by villains to kill someone with a borrowed knife. Sister Wanyan is so intelligent, how could she believe such a rumor?"

Wanyan Xiaose smiled bitterly: "It's because my Wanyan clan is famous throughout the world for its insect control. When I heard that my friend was raising a strange insect, how could I suppress my curiosity? I apologize, Wanyan was too presumptuous just now."

Since the other party came from a family of insect tamers, Li Weiyi was even more reluctant to take out the Phoenix Winged Moth Queen. Even if she couldn't recognize it, describing it to the elders of her family after returning home would become a risk.

I'd rather let her suspect.

Seeing that Li Weiyi was unmoved by beauty, seemingly not as rumored, Tang Wanqiu rolled her eyes and laughed, "Brother Weiyi, Wanyan is just that straightforward. She's a proud daughter of heaven, spoiled by the elders of her clan. Don't take it to heart. You are both insect tamers, so you must have a lot in common. You can discuss and interact more in the future."

Li Weiyi thought to himself, Tang Wanqiu is very clever. She came to test whether he had seven marquis-level rare insects, but she was able to advance and retreat with a sense of propriety and not be aggressive. She is really smooth in dealing with people.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Wanqiu's expression turned serious, and he said in a low voice, "We have found Ge Xiantong's hiding place! We must strike him hard before he recovers from his injuries, and it would be best if we could surround and kill him to eliminate this great threat."

Cang Li feigned ignorance: "Finding him shouldn't be difficult using the location on the invitation, right? Why did it take you until today?"

Tang Wanqiu plopped down in the chair opposite Cang Li and smiled, “Brother Li, you may not know this, but according to the location of the Longevity Pill on the invitation, the three Longevity Pill tickets held by Ge Xiantong and the one held by Jiang Ning are all in the Governor’s Mansion.”

"The number of formations and the number of mental masters in the governor's mansion are the most in the city. In addition, a large number of experts from the imperial court guard it, making it virtually impregnable."

"In the past few days, Xue Jiantang used the Thunder Technique and Profound Ice to break the formation and attacked the governor's mansion several times as a test. There are also spies lurking in the mansion to investigate. It is certain that Ge Xiantong is definitely not recuperating in the governor's mansion."

Cang Li suddenly realized: "If I were Ge Xiantong, I wouldn't easily expose myself after being injured."

"Snapped!"

Tang Wanqiu clapped her hands and said, "That's exactly right! Not only are we looking for him, but Luan Shenglinyou has also activated the Dead Ash hidden within the imperial court. Several Dead Ash destruction events have already occurred in the governor's mansion."

Cang Li asked, "Where is Ge Xiantong hiding?"

“Xianlin,” Tang Wanqiu said.

Cang Li was moved and said, "He actually hid in such a high-profile and dangerous place?"

"So why is he considered the best in the world? His immortal forest floats in mid-air, overlooking the entire city, and he has a clear view of all the changing situations. As long as there is a major upheaval in the imperial court, he can immediately go to provide reinforcements," Tang Wanqiu said.

Cang Li said, "Brother Tang seems to have an even stronger interest in Ge Xiantong than in the longevity pill tickets in the governor's mansion."

"We're brothers, there's nothing to hide."

Tang Wanqiu said cautiously, "Before the Lantern Festival, the longevity elixir tickets are a hot potato. The more you get, the more likely you are to become a target of attack. Moreover, attacking the governor's mansion is tantamount to a decisive battle with the imperial court. Even if you win and get the longevity elixir tickets, you will definitely suffer heavy losses."

"It would be easier to hunt down the injured Ge Xiantong."

"As long as Xue Jian Tang Ting kills Ge Xiantong, the number one young talent, at the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival, even if I can't become the Hidden Dragon of the Lantern Festival, I will still be incredibly successful when I return to the North, and all the old guys will look at me with new respect."

"The more important significance lies beyond the lantern festival. I am telling the world that Xuejian Tangting has always been the leader of the righteous army, the vanguard against the imperial court, and has the ability to defeat the imperial court."

Cang Li nodded slightly: "Brother Tang, you have great courage! If you can kill Ge Xiantong, your reputation at the Du'e Temple will definitely be high. How long until the operation?"

"The sooner the better, the better."

Tang Wanqiu asked, "Brother Li, how much of your injury have you recovered?"

"There's a 70% chance."

Cang Li was no fool and immediately reminded him, "Brother Tang, are you going to use the Jiuli tribe's assistance in this battle on Ge Xiantong?"

In other words.

After defeating Ge Xiantong, the Jiuli tribe will no longer owe you any favors.

Tang Wanqiu said, "At this moment, Luan Shenglin is dealing with the Zhu family in the Western Territory, while the Zuoqiu Clan is joining forces with the Zhu family to fight against them. Meanwhile, some of the imperial court's forces have been sent to the Eastern Territory. If I don't seize such a good opportunity, I will truly be a worm in the Northern Territory. Is it possible to summon Li Jiufu back? Your sister's Golden Sword Talisman will also be very useful."

Cang Li was displeased and didn't want Li Ling to participate in such a dangerous battle, but he had promised and couldn't refuse. So he nodded in agreement.

Tang Wanqiu and Cang Li discussed the specific details of the operation.

After shaking off the clingy Wanyan Xiaose, Li Weiyi went to Bai Shu's residence, intending to meet Yang Zhiyong and Yang Yun.

Wanyan Xiaose is undeniably beautiful, but her ambition is too strong, and her mind is too deep. If she were to discover the secret of the Phoenix-Winged Moth Queen, "Brother Yi" would likely become "Li Weiyi, die!" in an instant. A master insect tamer who controls seven extraordinary insects with the strength of the Longevity Realm can sit on equal footing with the head of a family even in the most prestigious clans.

Faced with such temptation, it is not surprising that Wanyan Xiaose would throw himself into her arms and even offer himself to her in order to find out the truth about the grade of the strange insect.

Yang Zhiyong and Yang Yun were both bound by magical chains and hidden in the cellar. Bai Shu told Li Weiyi that she had placed death flames inside their bodies, so there was no need to worry about them escaping.

Yang Zhiyong sat on the ground, his eyes icy cold: "Li Weiyi, do as you please, kill me or torture me. If I, Yang Zhiyong, even flinch, I am not worthy of the surname Yang."

Sitting next to him, Yang Yun frowned deeply, feeling that Yang Zhiyong shouldn't have provoked this ruthless man like that.

In this world, there are many things more terrifying than death.

Li Weiyi stood silently in the dimly lit cellar, carefully observing Yang Zhiyong's every word, action, and physical characteristics.

Yang Zhiyong continued, "I know that the reason we are still alive is because you want to use us to threaten the young lady. But you have miscalculated. The young lady has been incredibly kind to me. We would rather die than become your bargaining chips. Right, Yang Yun?"

Yang Yun found it difficult to speak, and stammered, "With our cultivation levels, it would be difficult for us to kill ourselves by crashing into something. Besides, he wouldn't give us that chance."

"You coward! The young lady is wise and decisive, how could she have a brother like you?" Yang Zhiyong cursed angrily.

Yang Yun said, "I'm not afraid of death, I'm just stating the facts..."

……

“Yang Qingxi is dead!” Li Weiyi said.

The two people on the ground looked up, both stunned.

"Impossible... Absolutely impossible, the young lady clearly escaped... What trick are you trying to pull now?"

Yang Zhiyong reacted even more strongly than Yang Yun, and did not believe Li Weiyi's words at all.

Li Weiyi said, "Yes, I also want to know why her body was found in Bingzuze seven days later, even though she clearly escaped. Now everyone says that I killed her, but only you know how wronged I am."

Seeing his extremely serious expression, Yang Zhiyong and Yang Yun trembled inwardly, already believing him to be about 70-80%.

"How could this happen? My sister's cultivation and combat strength were so strong, how could she suddenly die?" Yang Yun muttered to himself, unable to accept it.

Yang Zhiyong knew there were two Yang Qingxis, but in his eyes, both were young ladies he respected greatly. No matter which one died, it was like a bolt from the blue, causing him immense pain.

He clenched his fists, his eyes red-rimmed: "Li Weiyi, since Miss is already dead, we have no value. Let us go back, and we'll testify for you that you weren't the one who killed her."

"Even if Yang Qingxi dies, there's another one. Your value still exists."

Li Weiyi felt that the five boxes of Yongquan coins were most likely stolen by another Yang Qingxi. Taking advantage of the Xuejian Tangting's big operation today, he went to the Suizong's residence to find out what happened.

"Of course you two have to go back, but in another way."

……

Beicheng, a long-established noodle shop.

The weather was bad and there were only three diners.

Steaming hot noodles were served, and Li Weiyi first picked up the bowl and took a sip of the hot soup.

The broth is thick and made from mutton.

Bai Shu and Yang Yun sat on either side of each other.

While eating, Li Weiyi instructed, "Today, Xuejian Tangting will send a group of martial artists to feign an attack on the governor's mansion. Yang Qingxi and the experts from Suizong will definitely go to their aid. Let's take advantage of this gap to head to Suizong's base."

"Bai Shu, you stay outside and be ready to provide backup at any time."

Li Weiyi decided to first check if Yang Qingchan was really dead before deciding how to ambush Yang Qingxi.

Now that his cultivation has advanced further, reaching the peak of the Fourth Sea Realm, he is no longer afraid of the younger generation of the Sui Sect. Moreover, he possesses a chest of Thunder-Magic Profound Ice, making him unafraid even of the Sui Sect's stronghold's array formations.

This is perhaps what Zuoqiu Ting meant by the heart of a strong person.

Looking at the soup noodles in front of him, Yang Yun was heartbroken and had no appetite. He pleaded pitifully, "Please don't kill my sister... I only have one sister left..."

Li Weiyi bit off a piece of the noodle, looked up and said, "What, you don't want to cooperate?"

Yang Yun's face instantly fell even more.

Bai Shu, wearing a black veil and hood, concealed her extraordinary beauty and ethereal physique. She smiled seductively and said, "You have no trump cards, so how can you negotiate? If Brother Yi cannot leave the Sui Sect's territory, I will immediately activate the Death Spirit Fire within you. So, you must obey!"

After thinking for a moment, she added, "Even Luan Shenglinyou had to back down when facing the number one brother. Do you think you can be a match for him? Don't be reckless!"

"You overdid it!" Li Weiyi said, her face flushed with embarrassment.
