The Primordial Law

Chapter 223 Reactions from all parties
The river stretching for several miles from Wuxin Bridge to where Hua Yuzi was beheaded was lined with bustling areas of the city, densely packed with towers, palaces, and pavilions, all brightly lit.

As early as when the formation on the Five Hearts Bridge was activated, it was noticed by many martial arts practitioners in the buildings on both sides of the river, causing them to exclaim in surprise.

Li Weiyi, Yang Qingxi, and Hua Yuzi fought so fast that they killed each other in a few moves and the fight ended in an instant. Except for a few martial arts practitioners with high cultivation levels, the rest of the people did not even see what happened.

The sensation only gradually spread after Hua Yuzi transformed into a six-colored peacock and was killed by a sword on the wide Lishui River.

The martial arts practitioners in the buildings on both sides of the river rushed out, creating a lively and chaotic scene.

"What? That's Hua Yuzi, the second-best student in the Southern Territory?"

"It's him. He's ranked even above the number one successor of our Zuoqiu School. He's one of the most renowned young masters at this Qianlong Lantern Festival."

"It was a senior at the Dao Seed Realm who revealed his identity! The man and woman who killed him... are very strange. Can you believe it? They weren't any of the top-tier cultivators. Tsk tsk..."

"Isn't that obvious? How could two top-tier martial artists be a match for Hua Yuzi? It was most likely Ge Xiantong who made the move!"

"Not really..."

……

The names and identities of "Li Weiyi" and "Yang Qingxi" were quickly revealed by a Dao Seed Realm martial artist who happened to be nearby and witnessed the whole process, adding fuel to the fire and causing a huge uproar.

Who could believe that a rising star in the fifth realm of the Five Seas Realm, a second-class martial artist from the Southern Realm, could kill Hua Yuzi, one of the top ten young masters appointed by the Crossing Calamity Temple?

When Bai Shu, Shi Shishi, and Tao Yanyan arrived, the banks of the river were already surrounded by martial arts practitioners from all walks of life.

Bai Shu was hiding outside the Suizong stronghold, preparing to meet Li Weiyi. When she saw three carriages drive out, she realized something was wrong. Since she couldn't find any Jiuli tribe experts, she had no choice but to rush back to Nancheng for help.

The martial arts practitioners of the Earth Wolf King Army have been dispatched to seek an audience with the successor of the Zuoqiu School.

The three of them arrived ahead of time.

Bai Shu was still shaken and muttered to herself, "So the people sitting in the carriage were actually Hua Yuzi, Chen Wenwu, and the two attendants. Luckily, I didn't act rashly at the time."

With the explanations of the martial arts practitioners around them, the three quickly learned everything.

Tao Yanyan was utterly shocked, as if she had just heard a foreign language: "How did they do that? This...this is absolutely impossible!"

"My only brother always manages to create miracles. It's a pity that Bai Shu ran away, otherwise how could Yang Qingxi have become famous? Oh no, this is bad!"

Shi Shishi's expression changed as he thought of something.

Tao Yanyan also realized this and immediately took out the invitation, searching for the location of the Dragon Seed Ticket nearby. She said solemnly, "Li Weiyi must be seriously injured. Chen Wenwu and the two attendants didn't even have time to collect Hua Yuzi's body. They must have chased after him. We have to find them quickly!"

Shi Shi said, "That's not what I meant! Think about it, once this happens, Wei Yi and Yang Qingxi's past will definitely be dug up. With the influence of the evil wind that killed Hua Yuzi, Xi Liu Chan Chan will probably have to bring up the old story again. What people in the world prefer to spread and fabricate is actually the latter. Alas... my Wei Yi's reputation!"

"Stop fooling around, saving lives is the priority!"

Tao Yanyan located a Dragon Seed Ticket and chased after it with the two of them.

……

On the banks of the Lishui River.

A horse-drawn carriage sped south through the snowstorm.

"Wow!"

Chen Wenwu arrived like a wisp of mist, his handsome figure landing in front of the carriage, where he used a wall of magical mist to stop it.

Holding the Zhige sword, he cautiously approached step by step.

They dared not let their guard down, fearing they might follow in Hua Yuzi's footsteps and fall into the trap set by Li Weiyi and Yang Qingxi, that despicable couple.

The two attendants on either side also caught up and attacked from behind the carriage.

Chen Wenwu released his magical energy to investigate, then froze for a moment before quickly stepping forward and knocking the coachman to the ground.

"Sir... have mercy on me..."

The car window was pushed open.

Screams of extreme fright rang out from inside; it was a family of three, but Li Weiyi and Yang Qingxi were nowhere to be seen.

I searched for a while.

Yang Qingxi's dragon seed ticket was found at the bottom of the carriage.

At any other time, Chen Wenwu would have been overjoyed, but at this moment, holding the Dragon Seed Ticket, his heart burned with rage, feeling as if he were being ruthlessly trampled and humiliated.

What's the use of getting a Dragon Seed Ticket?

Hana Yuzi is dead!
Only by capturing Li Weiyi and Yang Qingxi can the three of them survive.

Otherwise... you'll either die or suffer a fate worse than death.

The two attendants, now transformed into spirits, had sparks flying from their eyes and were filled with murderous intent, as they wanted to tear the three people in the carriage to pieces.

Just at this time.

A Taoist woman in a robe from the Du'e Temple arrived late, leaping down to the snow-covered treetops. She said, "If you lay a hand on innocent residents, this immortal envoy will take your lives. Each martial artist holding an invitation will only receive one warning."

No one expected such a sudden and dramatic change. The battle ended before the twelve patrolling immortals of Du'e Temple could even arrive.

The two attendants on either side regained their composure. Chen Wenwu quickly calmed down and analyzed, "The two of them are severely injured, and they are trying to hide their tracks and auras, so they must not have gone far. We must mobilize all our forces to intercept and kill them on their way back to the South City."

……

…………

"What? Hanako is dead?"

Upon receiving Bai Shu's plea for help, Zuo Qiuting immediately set off and rushed to the vicinity of Wuxin Bridge, where a scout from Zuo Qiu's faction came to report.

After listening to the scout's detailed account.

Zuoqiu Ting was also stunned.

It should be noted that Zuoqiu Ting and Hua Yuzi had fought more than once, and Zuoqiu Ting was well aware of Hua Yuzi's strength. His combat prowess was so great that even if the two inheritors joined forces, they might not be able to defeat him.

Killing Hua Yuzi will be twice as difficult.

Led by the scout, Zuoqiu Ting saw the enormous six-colored peacock carcass on the water. Sensing the sword energy on the wounds with his mind, he concluded: "He has become stronger. How can his cultivation speed be so fast?"

"Quickly dispatch all experts above the fifth level of the Five Seas Realm from the Zuoqiu Clan and the Jiuli Clan to support Li Weiyi and stop the pursuit from the Ash Region of the Far West."

He then added, "Before the martial artists from the Ash Region of the Far West arrive, retrieve the remains and send them to the governor of the prefecture to present to Ge Xiantong and Jiang Ning, congratulating the imperial martial artists on killing Hua Yuzi."

……

Tang Wanqiu sat in the main hall with a somber expression, reflecting on today's defeat and searching for the root of the problem. He realized that he had been greedy for merit and underestimated the mind of the number one person in the world.

The lights in the hall flickered, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, just like his mood at that moment.

Tang Chen, the second inheritor of the Snow Sword Tang Court, strode in.

Tang Wanqiu asked, "Have Cang Li and the others already returned to Nancheng?"

"Late Autumn, something terrible has happened!"

Tang Chen said solemnly and with shock, "Li Weiyi killed Hua Yuzi..."

Tang Wanqiu's eyes quickly focused, and she raised her head: "What did you say?"

Tang Chen said, "Hua Yuzi is dead. His head was severed by Li Weiyi's sword. This is absolutely true. It is said that in that fatal sword strike, the intents of five battle techniques appeared simultaneously, hovering in mid-air and transforming into five gods, just like those legends and tales in folk tales. Even the ancient emperors in their youth were no more than this."

"Just as I was seeing Cang Li and the others off, someone came to report that all the members of the Jiuli tribe had rushed over! This is unbelievable, happening right near the Five Hearts Bridge..."

"Five Hearts Bridge"

Tang Wanqiu possessed a photographic memory and had already memorized the map of Qiuzhou City. After listening to Tang Chen's detailed explanation, she quickly accepted this unbelievable fact.

"No matter how he did it, the facts are the facts. It seems that at the Du'e Temple, his reputation is no less than that of Luan Shenglinyou, Ge Xiantong, and Zuoqiu Hong."

Tang Chen's eyes were deep and dark: "Hua Yuzi was the first of the top ten experts to fall, and he was killed by someone who was two realms above him. I think that as long as Li Weiyi doesn't die, he has a good chance of being named a Hidden Dragon. The Jiuli Clan is powerless to conquer the world, and the Zuoqiu Clan's prestige is rising with the tide."

Without Tang Chen needing to explain, Tang Wanqiu had already realized the seriousness of the situation.

This event affected not only the Qianlong Lantern Festival, but also the overall situation of the world.

If Du'e Temple firmly supports Zuoqiu Menting, Zuoqiu Menting will inevitably become Xuejian Tangting's biggest competitor in the near future.

Then Tang Wanqiu suffered a complete defeat at the Qianlong Lantern Festival.

Tang Wanqiu said, "I understand what you mean! Since Li Weiyi is seriously injured, the Far West Ash Region and other forces will definitely do their best to hunt him down and will not let this hidden dragon return to Nancheng alive or join forces with the Jiuli Clan experts. For now, we should not be the bad guys. The Jiuli Clan still has value to us."

"Let's send Wanyan Xiaose to find Li Weiyi. We must act as if we are rescuing her."

……

West City.

Luan Shenglin emerged from his seclusion to heal his injuries and stood in the corridor, his long hair flowing like a silver waterfall. With a calm expression, he listened to the left attendant kneeling and reporting with trembling fear.

"Understood! In just seven days, his cultivation level has reached a new level."

Luan Shenglin's eyes remained unwavering as he continued, "Mobilize the full strength of the Three Chen Palaces, Night City, and Coffin Mountain to find him and kill him. If you can't even handle a seriously injured person, the three of you should never come back!"

The attendant on the left kowtowed heavily to the ground, and then retreated.

"Ming Niansheng, gather all the experts above the third realm of the Five Seas Realm from the Demon Clan, Jinling, Que Rong, and Quan Rong, and attack Zhu Men tonight," Luan Shenglin said.

Ming Niansheng was quite surprised: "Attack the Zhu family tonight? Shouldn't we first avenge Hua Yuzi? I think we should take advantage of this chaos to deal with the Jiuli tribe and catch them off guard."

Luan Shenglin said, "When everyone thinks that we are here tonight to take revenge, it is precisely the perfect opportunity to take down the Zhu family."

Qi Jin, still disguised as Zhuang Yue, exclaimed, "Young Venerable's feint was brilliant! The massive manhunt across the city, involving all the martial arts practitioners of San Chen Palace, Ye City, and Guanshan, was just a ruse. It will surely cause the Zuoqiu Clan, the Zhu Clan's greatest ally, to misjudge the situation and focus their efforts on rescuing Li Weiyi and protecting the Jiuli Clan."

"After all, the Jiuli tribe is the real ally, while the Zhu family is merely a partner during the Qianlong Lantern Festival."

"Who would have thought that we would be able to suppress our anger and find such a golden opportunity to unify the western border despite suffering heavy losses?"

Luan Shenglin looked at her and said, "Qi Jin, with Hua Yuzi gone, you must raise the banner and hold the fort. Tonight, I entrust the headquarters of the Ash Region and the Longevity Pill tickets to you!"

"I will not fail in my mission," Qi Jin said.
