The Primordial Law

Chapter 264 Shocking Change: Li Weiyi is Crippled
"Wow!"

Li Weiyi was also stunned by the sudden assassination attempt and had no time to react. Fortunately, the Transcendent Book in his arms activated automatically, bursting out with a dazzling protective light.

The black-clad man's murderous sword strike failed to achieve its intended effect and instead forced him back.

"Snapped!"

The book, which had been written on a whim, burst open and turned into scraps of paper.

"Assassination! Quick... save them..." someone cried out.

The ancestral home was in complete chaos.

Zuoqiu Ling roared, "Insolence!"

"court death!"

Li Songgu rushed out from another direction, releasing a lightning-like spiritual light from between his eyebrows, illuminating the entire city of Qiuzhou into daylight, and for the first time showing the terrifying power of a Holy Spirit Mind Master in front of everyone.

Before this, everyone thought he was just a spiritualist.

It's clear that the head of the Cangli tribe, who had always kept his abilities hidden, was truly panicked!

Facing the combined attack of a Longevity Realm expert and a Holy Spirit Mind Master, the black-clad man's sword flew out from afar, piercing through Li Weiyi's ancestral field below his navel, sending him flying and pinning him to the front of the ancestral hall.

The sound of Zutian exploding was clearly heard throughout the courtyard, heard by everyone.

Amidst countless screams and roars, the man in black clasped his hands together, forming a hand seal, and unleashed a magical escape technique.

"Wow!"

Space trembled, creating ripples.

The man in black vanished into thin air.

"Spatial Escape Technique!"

"He can't have gone far, chase him!"

Zuoqiu Ling, Tang Wanzhou, and six or seven other figures rushed out of their ancestral home. They quickly sensed the spatial fluctuations in the east of the city and headed towards the east gate.

Before the city's protective array could be fully activated, the man in black smashed through the city gate and transformed into a shooting star, piercing the sky.

Six or seven figures chased after them in unison.

……

The unexpected turn of events left many people stunned and only now realizing what had happened.

The imperial court and the Leixiao Sect had martial arts practitioners who rushed into the ancestral hall to check whether Li Weiyi was dead and how he was injured.

"Anyone who dares to come near, I will kill!"

Li Songgu was furious, his brows gleaming like the sun, and he intimidated the martial artists from the imperial court and Leixiao Sect, displaying a fierce demeanor that showed he trusted no one.

He pulled out the sword that was stuck below Li Weiyi's navel, picked him up, and immediately rushed out of the ancestral home, heading towards Peach and Plum Mountain.

Upon hearing the commotion, Zuoqiu Hongting rushed out. After hearing the servant's report, her face turned deathly pale. Without a second thought, she immediately headed to Taoli Mountain.

Shi Liuyu and Shi Jiuzhai looked solemn and extremely grim.

Shi Shishi, who had been blasted away, got up from the messy ground, blood streaming from his seven orifices, and said miserably, "It's over... Brother Weiyi is finished..."

Shi Jiuzhai patted him on the shoulder, his heart heavy as if a stone were pressing down on it.

The people of the Jiuli tribe, including Cangli, Liling, Yin Ershisi, and Yaoyin, all rushed towards Taoli Mountain, and several of them were in tears.

There were naturally many people present who were gloating. They frowned and pretended to be in pain: "Being pierced through the body by a sword from a powerhouse of that level, even if you don't die, you're completely crippled. You thought it was the pinnacle of your life, but your joy turned to sorrow."

"Who dares to talk nonsense? It's just that the ancestral field was pierced; it can be repaired using spring water." A martial artist from the Zuoqiu Sect shouted angrily.

Someone sighed, "The spring can be repaired, but the inner world is destroyed and has lost its growth potential. Even if a martial arts emperor is born, it is impossible to fully repair it. The ancestral field is related to the cultivation of the Dao. Li Weiyi will be stuck at the Five Seas Realm in this life."

“We can use the Feng Mansion to cultivate the Dao,” Tang Wanqiu said.

“Using the Wind Mansion Seed of Dao is to create a Dao Seed with inferior roots, and the Dao Seed Realm is the end of his martial arts.”

……

Many people felt sorry for it, but secretly they were delighted and mocking it.

Because they had long anticipated that Li Weiyi would meet such an end; too many brilliant geniuses in history had died young.

The Jiuli tribe and the Zuoqiu clan were busy preparing for this engagement banquet, hoping to bring Qianlong under their control before Chaoran returned.

Now look what's happened; the once-promising dragon has become a useless one.

Zuoqiu Hongting, a young emperor with a bright future, was paired with a deposed emperor. Everyone eagerly awaited the scandal of their annulment.

Under the escort of imperial guards, Ge Xiantong immediately left.

After boarding the carriage, Ge Xiantong still couldn't believe it was true. He asked in a low voice, "To make a move at the engagement banquet is too high-profile. Could it be someone sent by the imperial court?"

He couldn't help but have such doubts.

The biggest beneficiaries of this assassination were the imperial court and the demon race.

The Zuoqiu sect and the Jiuli tribe will inevitably develop a rift because of this matter.

After all, this is the capital of Qiuzhou...

The imperial guard, who was over a hundred years old, said: "Absolutely not. Who would dare to make such a decision on their own?"

“Then it must be the demon race…” Ge Xiantong paused, a strange light appearing in his eyes: “Could this be a play orchestrated by the Zuoqiu Clan and the Jiuli Clan themselves?”

The imperial guard shook his head: "We witnessed the ancestral field shatter. If it weren't for the Chaoran Book Sticker blocking that fatal sword strike aimed at his head, Li Weiyi would have been reduced to ashes."

“Li Songgu was truly furious, and even his hidden cultivation level was exposed.”

"Moreover, the expressions of the Earth Wolf King's army and the Jiuli tribe, including Li Weiyi, don't lie. This prodigy, who might have all his meridians in perfect gold, is utterly finished even if he survives by sheer luck!"

Ge Xiantong felt no joy at the loss of a formidable opponent, and sighed, "This era has become much gloomy."

……

On the jade carriage pulled by five snow dragons, Tang Wanqiu asked, "Sister, did the assassin just escape like that? This is too strange. This is Qiuzhou City."

"This person has cultivated spatial escape techniques to the fifth level, and his earth escape technique is profound. Once he rushes underground, he is completely untraceable. With such escape skills, he could not only venture into Qiuzhou City, but also into Lingxiao City. Impressive!"

After getting on the bus, Tang Wanzhou remained deep in thought.

Tang Wanqiu said, "Doesn't that mean that Li Weiyi really... has the potential to repair this inner world of the ancestral field?"

"Sure! But even if a broken pottery jar is repaired, can it compare to a perfectly intact one? Can it be used to cultivate the Dao?"

"The greatest mystery of the ancestral field lies in its growth potential; it can expand indefinitely. Can a shattered ancestral field still have growth potential?"

Tang Wanzhou then added, "We cannot gloat, nor can we be led by the nose by the event itself. What we should consider is whether we can make a big deal out of the aftermath of this incident and gain some benefits for Xuejian Tangting?"

Tang Wanqiu said, "Send someone to spread the word that this was done by the imperial court?"

"It's a child's strategy! We don't need to publicize it; people will naturally do it, and it won't be very effective," Tang Wanzhou said.

Tang Wanqiu thought for a moment: "Give the credit for the assassination to the Thunder Cloud Sect? After all, someone detonated the Thunder Law Ice to lure the experts away, which gave the man in black the opportunity to make his move."

"To come up with a strategy to deal with the Thunderclap Sect is quite impressive for a young person!"

Tang Wanzhou's eyes were deep and profound as he continued, "In the Eastern Territory, the Dragon Gate is already the target of everyone's attacks, leaving only the Thunder Cloud Sect as the strongest. If we can use this as an excuse to launch an attack, and the Zuoqiu Sect joins forces with the Snow Sword Tang Court to advance eastward, with their forces pointing towards the Thunder Cloud Sect from the north and south, we can surely divide the Eastern Territory evenly and reap considerable benefits."

Tang Wanqiu smiled wryly: "With such huge profits, why can it only be considered a strategy of young people?"

"Because at present, the demon race is the number one enemy, and the human race must not be allowed to break out into such a civil war," Tang Wanzhou said.

Tang Wanqiu said, "It seems unnecessary to publicize that the demon race assassinated someone. It's very possible that they really were the ones who did it."

"Make a big fuss and say it was Xue Jian Tang Ting who did it," Tang Wanzhou said after a moment of contemplation.

Tang Wanqiu was stunned.

"Haven't you grasped the situation yet? Qilin Zang led all the Transcendent Ones, conquering from the South to the West, and then to the East. All three borders were devastated and suffered heavy losses, except for the North, which remained unscathed. What will the court and the people of the three borders think of this?"

Tang Wanzhou continued, "Among all the righteous armies, Xuejian Tangting is the strongest. Now they are putting us on the spot, making the entire human race suspicious of us, wary of us, and ostracizing us."

"The Snow Sword Tang Court will suffer some losses, but not real losses. Rather, we want the world to know that someone is framing us."

"This is just the beginning. For some time to come, self-harm will be an ongoing process for Xuejian Tangting. Just like today, who dares to say that someone isn't harming themselves?"

"The world is easily won by military might! But when the situation changes, one must also learn to conceal one's strength."

"By the way! Li Weiyi saved you. Gratitude is a quality that a strong person must always have. You can't achieve great things by gloating. What are you doing sitting in my car? Hurry up and get to Taoli Mountain. There are so many eyes watching."

Tang Wanqiu was forced off the bus.

……

Peach and Plum Mountain.

Upon waking up, Li Weiyi's first question was, "Did Elder Qin escape?"

Three days ago, Qin Lao repeatedly checked the location of his ancestral land, and Li Weiyi guessed that this would happen today, but he did not expect that it would happen at the engagement banquet.

Too dangerous!

With experts from all sides joining forces in the pursuit, if Elder Qin has no chance of escape...

The outcome can be imagined.

The Hidden Lord, wearing a mask, said, "Don't worry! The reason I invited Elder Qin out of the mountains is that his ability to escape is unparalleled in the Hidden Sect. Once he disappears underground, even if Chao Ran makes a move, it will be very difficult to capture him."

"My ancestral body... ah... it hurts so much..." Li Weiyi had naturally heard the sound of his ancestral body shattering earlier, and he was very worried, fearing that Elder Qin might have misjudged the situation, which would have been disastrous.

Yin Jun said, “Qin Lao’s spatial mastery is very high. That shattering sound was caused by tampering with the sword. Remember, only you, me, Qin Lao, and the Confucian and Taoist patriarch of the Zuoqiu Sect know about this. Zuoqiu Ling should be able to guess it, so don’t worry about him. In short, the fewer people who know, the better.”

Li Wei was moved, feeling that the relationship between the recluse and the Confucian and Taoist patriarch of the Zuoqiu School was too good, that they could even invite him to put on a show.

The image of Li Songgu as a refined scholar, with a great fondness for studying ancient books, came to mind...

“I know you already guessed my identity. It’s fine to tell you. That old master of Zuoqiu School of Confucianism and Taoism is like a half-teacher to me, and I can trust him.”

Yin Jun walked up to Li Weiyi and placed the sword in his hand: "This sword is for you. You must play your part completely. Just because someone's ancestral land is ruined doesn't mean it's truly ruined!"

"When your fighting spirit is extinguished and your mindset collapses, you're truly finished!"

"In a couple of days, I'll choose an opportunity to commit suicide."

Li Weiyi endured the pain and forced a bitter smile: "Does it have to be this bad? I feel like it's already bad enough, it hurts so much..."

"There's nothing I can do. When I advised you not to participate in the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival, you wouldn't listen. Now that you want to hide your cleverness and deceive everyone, you're bound to suffer some hardships," said the Hidden Lord.

Li Weiyi nodded solemnly: "It just so happens that I need to settle down for a few years and cultivate in seclusion. So I will conceal my talents and stay in Bogu for a while."
