The Primordial Law

Chapter 218 It’s your own fault
After the court's focus shifted to the north and east cities, Emperor Suizong naturally could no longer stay in the south city, fearing retaliation from the Jiuli tribe and the Zuoqiu clan.

Therefore, they moved to the north of the city, about three miles from the governor's mansion.

It is one of the peripheral forces protecting the governor's mansion.

It's getting dark.

"boom!"

The ground trembled slightly.

A deafening thunderclap came from the direction of the governor's mansion, and countless bolts of lightning shot into the sky, alarming all the martial artists and residents of the entire city, who knew that another force was at war with the imperial court.

The imperial martial arts practitioners, hidden throughout the city, transformed into streaks of afterimages and flew away at breakneck speed.

"It's the martial arts practitioners from Tang Ting's feigned attack on the governor's mansion who have made their move. Let's go, it's our turn to act!"

Li Weiyi transformed into Yang Zhiyong, put on clothes stained with Yang Zhiyong's blood, lay on a carriage, pretending to be seriously injured and unconscious, and was driven by Yang Yun, rushing towards the Suizong stronghold.

Being unconscious would minimize communication with the Sui Sect martial arts practitioners, thus preventing the exposure of any weaknesses.

The four courtyards where the Sui Sect's stronghold is located are situated at a crossroads overlooking the river, the street, and the bridge. The array formation has already been activated, with layers of light veils rising and array patterns floating, obscuring the view inside.

"Boom!"

The speeding carriage, crushing through the wind and snow, suddenly stopped outside the courtyard of the Suizong stronghold.

Yang Yun jumped out of the car, scrambling and shouting, "Quickly open the formation... It's me, it's Yang Yun! We escaped! Uncle Qi is seriously injured and needs treatment..."

Bai Shu hid in a narrow alley across the river, keeping a close watch, worried that Yang Yun might take a risk.

After a while.

The array's light veil opened a three-foot-wide gap, and Yang Yue, the second-best of the younger generation of the Sui Sect, stepped out.

Bai Shu's expression changed slightly.

Yang Yue's failure to go to the governor's mansion greatly increased the danger for Li Weiyi.

Upon seeing Yang Yue, Yang Yun burst into tears of joy. As they had agreed beforehand, he said, "The Xuejian Tang court launched a full-scale attack on the governor's mansion, and the martial artists of the Jiuli tribe also went to help. My seventh uncle and I finally managed to seize the opportunity and escape. My seventh uncle led me out of the encirclement, but he himself... he was too badly injured and is now unconscious."

To Bai Shu and Li Weiyi's relief, Yang Yun's acting skills were superb, and Yang Yue did not suspect anything at all. He did not even check the seriously injured and unconscious "Yang Zhiyong" in the car before taking them into the stronghold.

Layer upon layer of array light gauze closed.

Yang Yun was pondering how to expose Li Weiyi without anyone noticing, but as soon as he led the carriage through the gate, his expression changed instantly, his vision went black, and his legs went weak.

I saw.

Inside the gate, the ground was covered in blood, and the bodies of the young martial artists of the Sui Sect lay scattered everywhere.

On the screen wall, a person was nailed to death.

The water in the pool turned into blood.

A martial artist from the Sui Sect, not quite dead yet, at the third level of the Five Seas Realm, raised his head, saw Yang Yun, and cried out, "Quick...run away..."

"Pfft!"

Ahead, Yang Yue casually pulled out a broken gun stuck in the ground and shot him through the back of the head, pinning his head firmly to the ground so he could never lift it again.

Yang Yue remained expressionless throughout.

Behind the screen wall, in the second and third courtyards, there was a cacophony of sounds of killing, fighting, and screams.

With layers of arrays separating them, how could outsiders know that inside was already a living hell?

Yang Yun turned to flee...

Yang Yue's lips curled up into a cold smile.

With five fingers spread out in the air, five streams of magical energy surged forth, entangling Yang Yun and pulling him back into their hands.

With Yang Yue holding him by the neck, Yang Yun was powerless to resist. Terrified, he stammered, "Uncle Yue...why?"

"Who's your Uncle Yue? Kid, it's just that you came back at the wrong time."

Yang Yue did not check on the seriously injured and unconscious "Yang Zhiyong" in the car. Instead, he carried Yang Yun as if he were a chick and walked into the second courtyard.

"It's over, another fake Uncle Yue."

Yang Yun was on the verge of tears, secretly cursing his bad luck, always running into ruthless characters, and feeling that this time he was probably doomed.

"Tell Yang Qingxi that I've captured her brother! If she doesn't want him to die, she'd better hand over the stuff obediently."

Yang Yue's voice could be heard deep within the courtyard.

There was silence.

Inside the carriage, Li Weiyi suddenly sat up, her eyes filled with horror.

Clearly, some forces have taken action against the Sui Sect first. Which side is it?
What for?
Yang Qingxi's Dragon Seed Ticket?
Li Weiyi activated the invisibility power of his night-cloak, concealing his presence as much as possible, and carefully got out of the car. Seeing the scene of corpses strewn across the land, he immediately dismissed his earlier thought.

This is clearly a plan to wipe out the entire younger generation of the Sui Sect!
Why go to such lengths for a Dragon Seed Ticket?
The three courtyards of the Suizong stronghold were about two acres in size, paved with stone slabs, and had a training ground.

Countless figures filled the courtyard, and the array shone brightly.

Li Weiyi peered through the latticed window, her expression shifting repeatedly.

On the martial arts training ground.

More than ten young martial artists from the Sui Sect's Fifth Sea Realm were suppressed to their knees by the Left Attendant under the Young Venerable's seat with his powerful magical energy. The Right Attendant then transformed into Yang Yue's appearance and threw Yang Yun out, causing him to tumble and fall beside the dozen or so Sui Sect martial artists.

The real Yang Yue had his limbs pierced, his skin peeled off, and turned him into a bloody, mangled corpse, writhing in agony on the ground, screaming in a chilling manner.

Besides the two attendants on the left and right, there were also two Grand Masters of the Calamity Fire Realm from the Three Chen Palace, who were breaking the formation of the fourth courtyard.

They dared not use the Thunder Ice Technique, fearing it would cause too much of a commotion.

Suddenly.

Li Wei saw a figure that struck fear into the hearts of all the young martial artists in Qiuzhou.

The person wore a liquid silver mask, their figure was ethereal and indistinct, and their aura was terrifyingly powerful.

It was none other than Hua Yuzi, the top expert under the young master.

The Southern Territory is second in the top division, even higher than Zuoqiu Ting's ranking.

This was Li Weiyi's first time seeing Hua Yuzi, but her aura and physical features made her instantly recognizable. Moreover, Chen Wenwu was standing beside Hua Yuzi.

After glancing at her, Li Weiyi immediately looked away, afraid that Hua Yuzi would sense it.

Hua Yuzi smiled and said, "Wenwu, Yang Qingxi doesn't seem to care much about her brother's life or death."

Chen Wenwu said, "My brother is dead, but his mother can have another child. It's not a big deal."

"Makes sense!"

Hua Yuzi lost patience; this place was too close to the governor's mansion, and a quick victory was necessary.

Then, in a gentle and melodious voice, he said, "Yang Qingxi, hand over the Dragon Seed Ticket and five boxes of Yongquan Coins, and all the remaining people of Suizong can live."

Inside the formation of the fourth courtyard, only Yang Qingxi and eleven young martial artists and Grand Masters of the Sui Sect remained, still guarding the formation.

Their eyes were filled with hatred and murderous intent, showing no sign of compromise.

Without warning, the group of thieves suddenly broke in, killing anyone they saw, displaying extreme bloodlust.

Sixty to seventy percent of the younger generation of martial artists at the Five Seas Realm of the Sui Sect were killed in an instant.

This hatred is irreconcilable.

Below Yang Qingxi's left collarbone was a bloody hole, pierced by Hua Yuzi's finger. Blood soaked through her clothes and could not be stopped. Strange demonic energy invaded her wound, surging wildly within her veins.

If Hana Yuko can truly keep her promise, she will naturally be willing to compromise.

But she knew perfectly well that once she opened part of the formation and handed over the item, the other party would definitely take the opportunity to break the formation. At that point, she would be a lamb to the slaughter!
Delay the time.

Yang Qingxi had heard a rumbling sound coming from the governor's mansion, which meant that a battle had most likely broken out there. The unusual situation in Suizong would surely be noticed by the imperial court soon.

So she feigned ignorance: "May I ask, Mr. Hua, what do you mean by the five boxes of Yongquan coins? Is it that you want Suizong to raise five boxes of money to buy his own life?"

Hua Yuzi laughed and said, "If you keep pretending to be stupid, none of these people outside will survive! You were the one who stole Li Weiyi's five boxes of Yongquan coins at the Bingzu Marsh, on the water arena. Many things cannot be concealed, such as the special aura contained in your magical energy."

Yang Qingxi's eyes were filled with bitterness, her face full of regret, and a strong sense of self-reproach arose in her heart: "So, the calamity that has befallen the Sui Sect today is entirely due to those five boxes of Yongquan coins?"

"Not entirely! The most fundamental reason is that your Sui Sect actually abandoned the Ashes Region of the Far West and chose the imperial court instead," Hua Yuzi said.

The Ashlands of the far west were naturally furious with the Sui Sect.

It was Sui Zong's withdrawal and retreat that led to the sudden change in the war situation in Lizhou, and they were no longer able to conquer the Jiuli tribe.

This has a fatal impact on the entire situation in the Southern Territory.

"Pfft!"

With a single punch, Zuo Shi killed a young martial artist from the Sui Sect on the spot, his head falling into his stomach. He grinned maliciously: "Miss Yang, still trying to stall for time? If you don't hand over the Dragon Seed Tickets and Yongquan Coins, these dozen or so kneeling here won't be enough for me to kill."

"She really did steal my money."

Li Weiyi naturally wouldn't pity Suizong. If it weren't for Yang Qingxi's greed, Hua Yuzi probably wouldn't have bothered with her at all. At least, she wouldn't have bothered to do it herself.

Knowing that this place was not safe to stay any longer, and that Yang Yun would surely betray him in this life-or-death situation.

Just as Li Weiyi was about to use the Thunder Ice Technique to blast a gap in the Sui Sect's formation, he turned around and saw a mourning hall filled with white mourning clothes.

In the very center of the mourning hall, there was a blood-red coffin.

It's obvious without even guessing that it contains Yang Qingchan.

Li Weiyi, as if possessed, decided to investigate whether Yang Qingchan was really dead. So, he teleported invisibly and appeared in the mourning hall filled with white paper money.

The blood-red coffin was about ten feet long, a very regular square column, made of blood mud.

Embedded in the mud is a strange white substance that is half solid and half ethereal, which solidifies into mysterious white ancient characters that cover the entire coffin, making it clear that this coffin is extraordinary.

The material and shape are too bizarre.

Li Weiyi dared not act rashly and first used his mental power to communicate with the coffin master and the spirit tablet master.

The coffin maker said, "This is a coffin from another world, called a pre-death coffin. It is used by the deceased from another world who, sensing that their time is coming to come, will put themselves into the coffin in advance."

"The coffin is filled with arrays. If you close the coffin lid from the inside and then activate the arrays, the tomb raiders will not be able to open the coffin lid from the outside!"

"However, the Sui Sect has followed the Jiuli tribe for many years and should have learned advanced coffin-opening techniques. This coffin has already been opened and the treasures inside have long been taken away."

"Using otherworldly coffins to hold the bodies of loved ones is a practice that has existed among the Jiuli tribe since ancient times, so it's not a strange thing."
