The Primordial Law

Chapter 240 The Fifteenth Day of the Lunar New Year, Morning
East City, the Underground Marketplace.

A brothel called Drunken Flower Shade is a secret stronghold of the Earth Wolf King's army in Qiuzhou City.

Led by Shi Shishi, the three entered from the backyard.

The one who opened the door was Bai Shu, who was wearing a veil.

Bai Shu looked at Li Weiyi, who was lying on Qi Xiao's back with a face as pale as paper, and asked, "What trouble did you two get into this time? How come you're so badly injured?"

Shi Shishi hurried along: "I fought with Ge Xiantong, and the danger was indescribable. To put it simply, the number one among the younger generation was defeated!"

Bai Shu wouldn't believe his nonsense: "Even if the three of you are tied together, you're still not qualified for Ge Xiantong to take action."

Qi Xiao placed Li Weiyi on Bai Shu's bed before arrogantly saying, "Girl, you're wrong this time! Even though Ge Xiantong is the number one among the younger generation, and his master is the number one in the world, he can only obediently play the supporting role to Brother Weiyi this time. Today, countless eyes have witnessed that Ge Xiantong had no choice but to retreat."

Bai Shu knew Qi Xiao's reputation; he didn't seem to be bragging. Her alluring eyes widened in disbelief. She felt that the guy lying on the bed was glowing all over, clearly a celestial being descended to earth.

"Cough cough!"

Li Weiyi felt a burning pain in his internal organs, as if they were on fire. Fortunately, they had been molded from celestial soil, making them extremely strong.

He used the celestial energy within his divine palace to heal his injuries, then suddenly sat up: "We haven't cleared away any traces, and there's still a trace of life. We absolutely cannot give the enemy any chance to track us down."

"Don't worry! The greatest skill of my Wolf King Army is concealment, otherwise we would have been wiped out by the imperial court long ago. My ability to counter tracking is the best among those below the Dao Seed Realm!" Shi Shishi patted his chest and assured them.

Qi Xiao nodded slightly: "Although there is some boasting involved, they do have real skills. The character of those guys in the Earth Wolf King's army is really among the worst in the Southern Territory. The fact that they have survived until now shows that their ability to escape and hide is truly extraordinary. I think you should leave the city as soon as possible. You are too badly injured now, and there is no point in staying in Qiuzhou City any longer."

Bai Shu had long wanted to escape: "If you want to leave the city, I'll arrange it. There are secret channels that will guarantee your safety."

Li Weiyi pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Where are your Dragon Seed Tickets and Dragon Bone Tickets?"

Shi Shi said, "It's already hidden! Although the invitation can pinpoint the location, a city is only the size of a palm. A small dot on it represents a large area. It won't be easy for anyone to find it in a short time."

"You all discuss this first, I'll go gather information. If the Zuoqiu Clan and the Jiuli Tribe have already been defeated, then there's no need to hesitate. Quickly abandon the dragon seed and dragon bones; survival is the most important thing. Sigh! I'm so unwilling..."

Qi Xiao sighed and left.

For him, the dragon seed and dragon bone were the key to changing his fate and achieving instant success.

Li Weiyi said, "King of Ten Foods, you're not reconciled either, are you?"

Shi Shi said, “What’s the use of being unwilling? Do you really think that if I take the Dragon Bone Ticket now and go to the imperial court or the Ashlands of the Far West, I can actually get the Dragon Bone by the night after tomorrow?”

“I actually saw Cang Li’s invitation and know where the Qianlong Meeting will be held the night after tomorrow,” Li Weiyi said.

Shi Shishi was overjoyed: "Is there a chance to hide at the very back and sneak in?"

“If Zuoqiu Hong and Cangli are defeated, the enemy will probably wait outside the venue and kill you directly,” Li Weiyi said.

"I knew it……"

Shi Shishi's eyes gleamed with fierce fighting spirit and determination: "Give me a suggestion: should I lead the hidden martial artists of the Earth Wolf King Army to lend a helping hand to Zuoqiu Hong? Let's fight for our future."

Everyone is willing to work desperately to squeeze into the narrow upward channel.

Li Weiyi knew the importance of dragon bones, dragon seeds, and the longevity pill to him and the seven little ones. He didn't want to fall behind others, and naturally, he didn't want to give up.

Many of the top martial arts practitioners who participated in the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival were at the Seventh Sea Perfection stage. Once they obtained the Dragon Seed, they could begin their attempt to break through to the Dao Seed realm.

Once they reach the Dao Seed Realm, they can lock in their blood energy and life force, slow down aging, enter the Dao through martial arts, and officially join the ranks of the strong in the human world.

As for Li Weiyi, he still needs a long time to accumulate experience in the Five Seas Realm. The Wind Mansion, Ancestral Field, and even the Divine Palace are all long journeys. If he cannot obtain the Dragon Bone, Dragon Seed, and Longevity Pill, he risks falling behind in the Dao Seed Realm.

Once you fall behind, decades will pass.

Li Weiyi looked at the fanatical Shi Shishi and said, "You'd better not act impulsively. The power hidden in the shadows can play a better role. Zuoqiu Hong, Cangli, and Zhu Yibai are all backed by millions of ancient clans and families. They have huge businesses and can afford to spend money, and they must have backup plans."

"Here's what we'll do. Wait two days. If I can heal my injuries, I'll take you and Qi Xiao and give it your all, no matter what happens to Zuoqiu Hong and the others."

Shi Shishi laughed loudly: "With your brother's words, I know I'm at least 50% sure! Bai Shu, I'm entrusting the person to you. Take good care of her for me. I need to go check my tickets."

The sounds of battle echoed throughout the city that day, and the carnage spread to the underground underworld market. Even outside the Drunken Flower Yin Gate, a battle broke out.

Li Weiyi's injuries didn't stabilize until evening, and the pain in his internal organs subsided. But to say that he could fight someone right now was wishful thinking.

On the contrary, Da Feng, after consuming the most precious roots of the 1,600-year-old Black Dragon Grass, is now full of energy.

His previous state of serious injury seemed to be an act.

A thousand-year-old elixir, reaching 1,600 years of age, has twice the potency of an elixir that is only 1,000 years old, and its price is also twice as high.

Over the next two days, Li Weiyi would need the seven of them to make any significant progress. The millennium-old elixir would naturally be readily available.

As night fell, the sounds of battle gradually subsided.

After fighting for a day and a night, all sides were naturally exhausted and needed to rest.

Qi Xiao returned to Zuihuayin, injured, and brought back a healing pill for Li Weiyi. His expression was extremely grim: "I saw Zuoqiu Hong, the number one expert of the younger generation of the Zuoqiu Clan. They fought their way out of the governor's mansion, but after a day of fierce fighting, they failed to break through the Attendant Hall. Both sides suffered heavy losses. She asked me to tell you that she was extremely grateful for the battle this morning, but the tide had turned... Get out of the city as soon as possible."

"Cang Li said he couldn't leave and vowed to live and die with the martial arts practitioners of the Jiuli tribe."

"Li Ling said that if her brother can't leave, neither can she!"

Li Weiyi sighed, then pondered, "Even without breaching the Attendant Hall, the court would have suffered heavy losses after a day of fierce fighting. What is the current situation?"

Qi Xiao said, "Originally, around dusk, a large number of martial artists from the Ash Region of the Far West set out, intending to attack from both sides and annihilate the alliance of Zuoqiu Clan, Jiuli Clan, and Zhu Clan. But suddenly a hidden force broke in and resolved the crisis; it seems to be Zhu Clan's last trump card."

Li Weiyi secretly guessed that it was most likely the Zhu Men and Yin Men who had been mobilized!
The Nine Li Hidden Sect has five or six experts under the age of thirty who are at the Five Seas Realm. The hidden sects of the Zhu Sect and the Zuoqiu Sect are not much worse off.

Hidden sects definitely only train top-tier experts.

Otherwise, it can't be hidden.

Qi Xiao continued, "The situation is very delicate now. The battle between the imperial court and the Zuoqiu Sect has stopped. Xuejian Tangting is maneuvering on the periphery, sometimes attacking and sometimes retreating."

"The Dragon Gate and the Thunder Cloud Sect rushed to the battlefield, but they remained stationary, focusing on building fortifications and setting up formations, without participating in the battle."

"Only the Ashlands of the far west are showing signs of activity; they might make a big move tonight."

Li Weiyi said, "The Ash Region in the far west has now become the most powerful force. If they don't act quickly, I'm afraid that all the forces will unite overnight and join forces to deal with them..."

"Could it be that Ge Xiantong was right after all!"

"Has the situation in the world deteriorated to such a point that the Zuoqiu School and the Zhu School have no choice but to join forces with the imperial court?"

With his injuries still unhealed, Li Weiyi could only watch helplessly as the situation in the city worsened.

He ignored the outside world, took the healing pills that Qi Xiao had brought back, and devoted himself to recuperation.

Another day and night have passed.

It was still dark on the morning of the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year.

Shi Shishi finally returned to Zuihuayin and knocked on Li Weiyi's door.

The person who opened the door was Bai Shu, who was wearing white pajamas.

Li Weiyi sat cross-legged on the ground, his body brimming with blood energy, and withdrew the intent of the Six Paths Battle Technique into his body: "You're finally back. I thought you had been killed."

"Look who I brought with me!"

Shi Shi looked towards the door as if offering a treasure.

Yin Shiyi flashed in and was overjoyed to see Li Weiyi: "You're amazing! The whole city is buzzing with the news that you defeated Ge Xiantong. And, I don't know which son of a bitch exposed your identity as the Hidden Man, now everyone knows you're the leader of the Nine Li Hidden Sect for the past sixty years."

Li Weiyi's eyes darted around: "I suspect it was Hidden Lord who deliberately spread it, intending to use the Nine Li Hidden Sect to protect me."

Yin Shiyi's smile froze. He realized it was very likely true; no other hidden person would dare to leak the secret. He awkwardly laughed, "I didn't say anything just now. Let's talk business first."

Li Weiyi said, "Tell me first, what have you been doing for the past two weeks? I thought you had died on New Year's Eve."

"I was almost killed by Luan Sheng Lin You with a single palm strike, but didn't I inherit the battle tactics and intentions of the Nine Li God? After falling into the river, I used my physical talent as a dragon-like mutant and the battle tactics and intentions of the Nine-Headed Demon Dragon to escape by water, fleeing to the sea of ​​Bingzu Marsh, and then hiding in the Bright Moon Seven Star Pavilion to recuperate."

Yin Shiyi's eyes were incredibly bright: "Guess what I encountered at the Bright Moon Seven Star Pavilion?"

"What did you encounter?" Li Weiyi asked.

Yin Shiyi said, "People of Zuoqiu Yin Sect! You don't know, the Bright Moon Seven Star Pavilion is the last stronghold prepared by Zuoqiu Hong and Zuoqiu Ting, and Zuoqiu Yin Sect is their last resort, now led by me. Hehe!"

Shi Shishi laughed and said, "Brother Weiyi, you didn't expect this, did you? Zuoqiu Hong actually had a backup plan. It was definitely prepared for the final battle."

"It's true that they're preparing for the final battle! But the fact that he has to lead it shows that Zuoqiu Yin Sect's strength is just so-so; they can only play a supporting and surprise role."

Li Weiyi suddenly laughed and asked, "Do you know where the venue for tonight's Qianlong Lantern Festival is?"

"Where?" they both asked in unison.

Li Weiyi said, "The invitation from Cangli reads, 'The bright moon rises over the sea, and the immortal tortoise carries the dragon palace.'"
