The Primordial Law

Chapter 253 Qilin Zang

The Qilin is back!
Zenhai Guanwu once said that about 2,800 years ago, she slew a flying dragon in the East Sea.

However, they failed to find the dragon's son, "Qilin," and were unable to eradicate the threat completely.

In other words, the Qilin is at least 2,800 years old.

At the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival, the various demon king forces defected and submitted to Luan Sheng Lin You's banner. This was not because Luan Sheng Lin You had subdued them, but because the various demon kings of the Lingxiao Realm behind them had been secretly subdued by Qilin.

It has already returned.

The older generation of powerful figures on Peach and Plum Mountain had already guessed this. However, no one expected that the Qilin would dare to appear in Qiuzhou City and display its domineering side by attacking the city's protective formation.

……

…………

"Insolence! Qilin Zang, do you intend to become enemies with the Du'e Temple?"

The immortal master of the Crossing Calamity Temple emitted a burst of spiritual light from his eyebrows and formed a hand seal.

Instantly, the "解" character covering the sky above Qiuzhou City rapidly contracted and condensed, pressing down on the Qilin and Qingluan on Bingzu Marsh outside the city's protective formation.

Zang is the name of the son of a flying dragon.

Bingzu Ze Shang.

Qilinzang appeared in human form, standing proudly atop the almost solidified Qilin light and shadow, clad in dragon armor, his figure tall and imposing. Behind him, on the sea, were several other wondrous and powerful figures.

He looked toward the ninth heaven of Peach and Plum Mountain, completely ignoring the dispelling characters that were suppressing him: "If I can get the support of the Crossing Calamity Temple, the Demon Kingdom can be established at sunrise tomorrow. Tonight, I can kill all those who oppose me, take the immortals as slaves, and herd all the martial cultivators in the world as livestock."

"Even without the support of the Crossing Tribulation Temple, the establishment of the Demon Kingdom is inevitable, it's just a little troublesome."

"Wow!"

The runes tore through the dark clouds, crushed the sky, and fell with the immense power of the runes.

The space above the heads of the Qilin and the Azure Phoenix trembled violently.

The phoenix flew in, its radiance illuminating all directions, and colorful clouds filled the land of the ancestral warriors, supporting the character for "deciphering". Then, crimson-gold flames burst forth from the nest, igniting the void and burning the character for "deciphering" into blue smoke.

The one who rules the Phoenix Nest is the Azure Phoenix.

Qilin Zang's voice boomed: "Zuoqiu was an unknown figure three thousand years ago, not of imperial blood. What qualifications does he have to become the future ruler of this land?"

"The Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival is just a children's game. You Du'e Temple don't take it seriously, do you? Only I can unify the world, end the war, and establish a more expansive and prosperous kingdom in the shortest time."

The Immortal Master of Du'e Temple said, "A loss is a loss! No one can change the rules. You were given a chance. Everything is the will of Heaven. Following the will of Heaven is the founding doctrine of Du'e Temple."

"Wow!"

The immortal master's figure was shrouded in talismanic light and mist, appearing above the sea near the Bright Moon Seven Star Pavilion. He waved his staff and collided with the large hand that was trying to break the protective array's veil of light.

The celestial tortoise, suspended in mid-air, escaped Qilinzang's lock, regained its ability to fly, and fled wildly.

"Du'e Temple is destined to pay the price for today's wrong choices. Tonight, we will first raze Zuoqiu's gates to the ground, then destroy Lingxiao Palace. Then you will know how laughable this so-called will of Heaven is. My will is the will of Heaven!"

The giant hand in the sky suddenly erupted with auspicious divine light, shaking the earth and causing the sea to churn.

"boom!"

The plains surrounding Qiuzhou city were cracked in countless places by this blow.

The protective array's protective veil could not withstand the force and was pierced by the giant hand.

The tearing sound was extremely piercing, instantly penetrating the eardrums of countless people in the southern city.

Fortunately, the deciphering characters had vanished into thin air, and array runes were rising on all the streets and buildings in the city to resist that destructive force.

"puff!"

The island-sized celestial tortoise howled and screamed in agony as its body exploded, turning into a shower of blood.

Enraged, the Immortal Master of the Crossing Calamity Temple unleashed an array disc from his spiritual realm, which expanded rapidly. Thousands of array runes circulated within the disc, striking the giant hand and annihilating it.

The humanoid forms of Qilinzang and Qingluan entered the array's light veil through the pierced crack.

Behind the two were enormous shadows of a Qilin and a Qingluan, and behind them were countless demonic figures, with banners obscuring the sky.

Qilinzang went to the Immortal Master of Du'e Temple, while Qingluan wanted to take over the Dragon Palace.

“Qilin Zang, Zuoqiu Clan has risen to become one of the four major clans of Lingxiao within three thousand years. Do you really think that you are the only one who looks down on us and wants to suppress us? But Zuoqiu Clan is getting stronger and stronger. The rising sun will surely become the blazing sun in the sky, and its momentum is unstoppable.”

The patriarch of the Zuoqiu School of Confucianism, the old man in Confucian robes, ordered the activation of all formations. At the same time, a page of an ancient book flew out from the spiritual realm between his eyebrows.

This page of the ancient book looks like it was torn from somewhere, with very irregular tear lines.

It was just a single sheet of paper, but after it flew out, it transformed into a mysterious ocean of words, surging towards the spot where the protective array's veil of light had been pierced.

"Destroy Lingxiao Palace? What arrogance! When Emperor Wu was around, you didn't even have the courage to return to Lingxiao Realm, did you?"

The Second Palace Master's imperial carriage had already rushed out from Peach and Plum Mountain, its wheels rolling and crushing the void, its energy spreading throughout Qiuzhou City, and in a sudden crash, it collided with the Azure Phoenix.

The suspended Dragon Palace was struck by the clash of two terrifying forces, causing it to tremble violently and overturn.

"Wow!"

The longevity pills, dragon seeds, and dragon bones that Du'e Temple had placed in the Dragon Palace were all wrapped in solid, ice-crystal-like substances, sparkling as they were all poured out into the air.

Under the impact of the Second Palace Master and Qingluan's magical energy, they fell like a meteor shower across the entire city.

The powerful figures of the Longevity Realm, including Zuoqiu Ling and Yin Jun, rushed towards Bingzu Ze in the opposite direction of the meteor shower to rescue the young prodigies trapped near the battlefield.

During this process, they seized the opportunity and used various methods to take away some of the longevity pills, dragon seeds, and dragon bones. More longevity pills, dragon seeds, and dragon bones fell to various parts of the city, triggering a looting frenzy.

The moment the Second Palace Master and Qingluan clashed, Li Weiyi could no longer hold on, her vision went black, and her consciousness became blurred.

He could vaguely see the Dragon Palace collapsing, and clusters of bright light scattering out like a meteor shower. More than ten clusters of light fell obliquely down, not far from him.

The Dao Ancestor Tai Chi Fish was worn close to his neck and hidden inside the Blood Handprint Demon Armor.

Within the Buddha's relic, Zen Sea Observation Mist unleashed a surge of power, injecting it into the Blood Handprint Demon Armor. Instantly, blood mist erupted from the demon armor, enveloping and pulling back the dozen or so orbs of light.

At this moment, Li Weiyi had completely lost consciousness and was falling into the sea.

"Shh!"

Yin Jun arrived in the sea like a streak of light, embraced him, and then sped back to Qiuzhou City at top speed.

As for Cang Li, Yin Jiu, Li Ling, and Yin Shiyi, other experts have gone to rescue them.

The time window is very narrow.

Even a giant in the Longevity Realm can only save one. Otherwise, there is a risk of their own demise.

……

…………

Li Weiyi gasped for breath and sat up from the bed, her head throbbing with pain.

My limbs feel weak and sore, and my wounds are burning.

He had already suffered considerable injuries from his fight with Luan Shenglin. Later, he was struck by the residual force of the transcendent energy, and even though they were more than ten miles apart and he had the Blood Handprint Demon Armor for protection, he still couldn't withstand it.

Cang Li and Yin Jiu were both lying not far away.

They were in a much worse state, their skin as white as corpses, and their breaths weak.

Two elderly men of unknown origin fed them a potion made from millennia-old elixirs and continuously infused them with magical energy, doing their utmost to save them.

Li Weiyi heard a faint sobbing sound and turned her head to look.

Yao Yin sat beside the bed, her eyes fixed on him, her face streaked with tears, her hands still tightly gripping his right hand.

"What's wrong?" Li Weiyi asked.

Yao Yin burst into laughter through her tears, her mouth agape, and said in a choked voice, "I thought... I thought you were like them, that you wouldn't make it..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? They're not dead yet."

Yin Twenty-Four, pacing back and forth in the room, coldly rebuked Yao Yin. Seeing Li Weiyi sit up, he visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yao Yin said in a low voice, "When they were first brought back, they were both already dead! I thought you were the same."

The little girl seemed genuinely frightened, so Li Weiyi gently patted her hand to comfort her.

The room was spacious, like a grand, empty hall.

Yin Shiyi and Li Ling were also in the room, but they were less injured.

Yin Shiyi was chasing after those Grand Mind Masters at the time and did not enter the Ancestral Warrior's Marsh, so he was quite far away. Li Ling, on the other hand, had been out of the battlefield even earlier due to a broken right leg and exhaustion of her mental energy.

Outside the window, lights flickered incessantly, branches and leaves swayed violently, and roaring sounds came from all directions.

"boom!"

The room shook violently, and the beams and pillars creaked.

Recalling everything that had happened, Li Weiyi felt a chill of fear and immediately asked, "Where is this place? How long have I been unconscious?"

"It will only take about fifteen minutes."

Yin Twenty-Four stood by the window, gazing into the distance, but the horizon was a chaotic blur, and he couldn't see those transcendent figures at all. He could only sense terrifying auras, as if gods were fighting.

"It's only been a quarter of an hour... but I feel like I've been unconscious for days." Li Weiyi slammed his forehead, the pain returning.

Yao Yin stood up and massaged him: "Yin Jun said that the city of Qiuzhou is definitely not safe tonight, and my garden may not be safe, so he brought us all to Peach and Plum Mountain."

Li Weiyi's expression changed drastically when he discovered that the insect sac on his body was destroyed: "Oh no, where are the seven little ones? And where is my sword? Have you seen it?"

Yao Yin shook her head: "Yin Jun brought you back then, but he didn't see those seven little guys and the Yellow Dragon Sword."

Li Weiyi's eyes suddenly darkened, and he reached for his chest.

Fortunately, the Taoist Tai Chi Fish is still there.

Li Ling sat beside Cang Li, her eyes red and swollen: "In that situation, it's a miracle that I survived. Senior, is there any hope for my brother... my brother?"

The old man who treated Cang Li was emaciated, with a hideous scar on his face and sunken eyes. If you met him anywhere else, his appearance alone would be frightening enough.

The scarred old man chuckled hoarsely, "Don't worry, he's been saved."

The old man who treated Yin Jiu was a deformed human, possessing features of various ancient immortal beasts: a tiger's head, monkey-like arms, a tail, and a hunched body. He said, "This one-armed kid was also saved; he's really tough."

Li Ling stood up on her one leg, leaning on her crutch, and bowed, saying, "Thank you both, seniors."

Yin Shiyi also bowed respectfully: "May I ask if you two seniors are elders of the Zuoqiu Clan? How should we address you? I will never forget your life-saving grace."

These were the two people who rescued Yin Jiu, Cang Li, Yin Shiyi, and Li Ling.
