The Primordial Law

Chapter 274 The Miraculous Insect Displays its Power
"I'll go scout ahead first. If there's an ambush in town, we won't be able to escape."

Zuo Sheng feigned caution, then used his movement technique to transform into a ghostly afterimage and disappear among the densely packed houses with blue tiles and white walls in the town.

"What incredible movement skills! The Zuo brothers' cultivation is frighteningly profound."

Li Weiyi had long ago worn the governor's robe underneath his clothes, just in case.

Zuo Sheng did not return for a long time.

Zuo Shi, who remained behind, had unknowingly retreated to a distance of about two zhang behind Zuoqiu Qingying and Li Weiyi, his old face growing increasingly gloomy. In particular, when he stared at Zuoqiu Qingying, his eyes were filled with intense hatred.

Zuoqiu Qingying sensed something was off. Her gaze fixed on the market town a few miles ahead, she whispered, "Something's strange. Maybe we should head back to the city... even though it'll be a bit embarrassing..."

"it is good!"

Without warning, Li Weiyi instantly used the Qingxu Chachan Step, transforming into a wisp of green smoke, dodging Zuo Shi, and flying to the right, disappearing into the night.

A look of surprise flashed across the faces of both Zuoqiu Qingying and Zuo Shi.

The next instant, Zuo Shi roared, his half-white hair standing on end like a lion's mane. His right hand burst into flames, illuminating the night, and he struck the unsuspecting Zuo Qiu Qingying on the back.

"Oh!"

Zuoqiu Qingying's protective runes blocked the attack, preventing her body from being shattered by a single blow.

"left……"

She was thrown forward, spitting out blood, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Swish! Swish..."

In the small town of Qingyi, several figures darted out from the rooftops and headed towards her.

Even now, Zuoqiu Qingying only believed that she had been ambushed by the Jiuli Hidden Sect. She activated the speed runes on her body and fled towards the direction of Qiuzhou City.

"I'm leaving her to you. I'm going to pursue Li Weiyi."

Zuo Shi shouted to the group in the distance, made a hand seal, and unleashed the fire escape technique "Flame Robe Technique".

His internal energy surged forth, burning fiercely and transforming into a fiery robe on his body. This greatly increased his speed as he chased after Li Weiyi's escape route.

The difference in combat power among martial artists at the Dao Seed Realm is enormous, but the difference in speed is much smaller.

Therefore, after martial arts practitioners reach the Dao Seed Realm, the first Dao technique they cultivate and delve into will inevitably be related to survival.

Speed-based and escape-based abilities are the preferred choices.

Someone like Zuo Shi, who has cultivated for nearly a hundred years, has a level of expertise in Taoist arts that is far beyond what those younger inheritors can match.

"So fast!"

Li Weiyi had only gone twenty or thirty miles when Zuo Shi caught up behind him, and waves of heat came one after another.

He wasn't sure if Shi Jiuzhai had caught up, so he could only rely on himself at this moment.

The reason for luring Zuoqiu Qingying to Qingyi Town was to use her death to make Zuoqiu Cangwu and the Zuoqiu Clan "pay special attention" to this town, a classic case of using someone else to do the dirty work, and driving one wolf into another. They wanted to see if Qingyi Town was truly a den of wolves and tigers.

The appearance of Zuo Sheng and Zuo Shi was purely accidental.

Now we have to face this unexpected situation head-on.

"Boy, you noticed it a long time ago, didn't you? Hmph, your Nine Li Hidden Sect is quite capable."

Zuo Shi chased Li Weiyi to within twenty feet, and his body erupted with fiery energy, instantly transforming into a huge fiery vortex with a diameter of twenty feet.

The surrounding vegetation burst into flames instantly.

The big tree becomes a torch, and the small grass turns to dust.

"Is this an outward manifestation of his Daoist heart?"

Li Weiyi was caught in a vortex of flames, her body being pulled backward by a violent force, from which she could not escape.

It's like being entangled by thousands of ropes.

Zuo Shi was far more powerful than Wang Zhi.

"Wow!"

The Blood Handprint Demon Armor is activated, releasing blood mist and crimson scriptures to resist flames that can burn the body.

Li Weiyi let the vortex force pull him backward, suddenly drew his sword, and with a burst of light, slashed straight down from mid-air.

The bright sword energy seemed poised to cleave through the opponent's inner Daoist mind and outward appearance.

"Ha ha!"

Zuo Shi neither dodged nor avoided, but let out a long roar and unleashed a palm strike.

Another Taoist technique has been unleashed!
It is the "Horizontal Blade of Blazing Flames" that many masters of the Zuoqiu School have practiced.

Once the Taoist technique is used, combat power increases dramatically.

"Oh!"

The sword energy of the Yellow Dragon Sword was shattered by the palm strike, and the force slammed into Li Weiyi.

Li Weiyi was sent flying backward, falling several feet away. The blood mist covering his entire body was dispersed, and his body felt as if he had been struck by an iron rod.

"Hidden Man, you haven't cultivated the Dao yet? With your Five Seas Realm cultivation, you actually managed to withstand one of my Dao techniques. You're truly remarkable." Zuo Shi pursued and attacked again.

"After a hundred years of cultivation, I've only reached the second level of the Dao Seed Realm. There's nothing to be proud of in withstanding one of your attacks."

Li Weiyi knew very well that he was not yet a match for a martial artist at the second level of the Dao Seed Realm, so he decisively released seven Phoenix Winged Moth Kings in preparation for a quick victory.

Upon seeing the seven strange insects, Zuo Shi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he became cautious.

"With just them?"

Zuo Shi unleashed a palm strike, aiming at the two Phoenix-Winged Moth Kings that were coming towards him.

It didn't fly away with a single palm strike as he had expected.

The two phoenix-winged moth queens, one spewing golden crow flames from its mouth and the other releasing lightning from its eyes, clashed with the palm wind, yet the two forces were only slightly at a disadvantage.

As Zuo Shi was filled with astonishment, one of the Phoenix-Winged Moths, which was significantly faster than the other six, flew close to his legs, its wings spread wide, sharp as knives. Zuo Shi was terrified and quickly leaped into the air.

The sound of swords ringing out came from above.

"not good!"

Without even looking up, Zuo Shi hurriedly swung out a flaming blade that cut across the sky.

For veteran experts, Taoist techniques are more useful than magical artifacts, as they allow for complete freedom of use and their power is no less than that of magical artifacts.

They spent decades researching and refining their chosen Taoist arts.

This time, Li Weiyi learned his lesson and didn't confront his Taoist techniques head-on. Instead, he immediately used his movement technique to dodge.

Zuo Shi was frightened by the fighting power of Li Weiyi and the seven little ones, and hurriedly used the Flame Robe Escape Technique to prepare to escape and avoid their sharp edge.

"Why... is one missing..."

Zuo Shixin became alert, and his expression changed drastically.

Seven Phoenixes appeared out of thin air, their bodies turning back to nine inches long, their claws covered in fine dragon scales piercing through the protective aura around Zuo Shi's neck and penetrating inside.

The growth of scales on its claws is a mutation that occurred after it ate dragon bones.

"what……"

Zuo Shi cried out in pain.

He had just knocked the Seven Phoenixes away when the Great Phoenix transformed into a giant moth several meters long, its membranous wings like knives, slashing at his waist and sending him flying.

"Pfft!"

Li Weiyi shifted his body to the side, and with a swift movement, thrust out his sword like lightning. Before the man could land, the sword had already pierced his brow.

The body fell to the ground with a thud.

His eyes were wide open; he died with extreme resentment.

The vortex of flames formed by Zuo Shidao's inner vision gradually dissipated in the night wind.

Li Weiyi sensed the aura of a powerful figure rapidly approaching from the direction of Qingyi Town, and his expression immediately turned serious.

Without even touching the corpse, he directly put it into his spatial bag, then put the seven little ones into his insect bag, activated the spatial power of the governor's robe, and transformed it into a cloud of purple mist and light, disappearing from the spot.

After a while.

The Fourth Divine Child, Zuo Sheng, and two other rice-man masters appeared on this ravaged battlefield.

The fourth divine child examined the blood and traces on the ground.

Zuo Sheng's hands were stained with blood. He had previously killed Zuo Qiu Qingying with his bare hands. Now, he used his Daoist mind to sense Zuo Shi's location.

Two skilled rice sculptors went to search for the location and traces of Li Weiyi's escape.

Zuo Sheng's eyes were filled with anger as he said indignantly, "I can't sense Zuo Shi anymore; he must have been killed."

One of the rice-man masters said, "There's no trace of the enemy leaving within a radius of several dozen feet. It's really strange. Could it be an earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic that allows one to escape from the ground)?"

"It's a spatial escape technique! Just now, I vaguely sensed spatial fluctuations. It must be a guardian expert from the Nine Li Hidden Sect who killed Zuo Shi and took Li Weiyi away."

The Fourth Divine Child added, "If we search further, we should be able to find traces. But by then, the enemy will have already escaped far away, and we won't be able to catch up at all."

"Ow!"

A low, resonant dragon roar echoed from the pitch-black night.

Long Ting's tall and imposing figure appeared ten feet away from the Fourth Divine Son, his feet treading on wisps of mist. Behind him stood several demonic figures, with demon experts accompanying him.

Long Ting asked coldly, "Where is Li Weiyi?"

The Fourth Divine Child said, "They were rescued by the people of the Nine Li Hidden Sect!"

"Your Twin Rice Cult is truly more trouble than you're worth. I've been waiting in Qiuzhou City for so long before Li Weiyi finally came out of the city."

Long Ting inherited the Dragon Soul and Azure Dragon Battle Technique of the Dragon Palace, and also obtained the Dragon Seed and Dragon Bone. Because his physique and the martial arts he had cultivated since childhood were more compatible with the Dragon Seed, his cultivation level has now surpassed everyone else's.

Even when facing the Fourth Divine Child, he could still hold his own in terms of aura and remain proud.

He regarded Lu Cangsheng, Tang Wanqiu, and Li Weiyi as the three main culprits who killed the Dragon Palace.

More than half a year has passed, and the hatred in my heart has not only not diminished, but has become even stronger.

The Fourth Divine Child's eyes turned cold: "If you have the ability, then go after him! Perhaps you can intercept him before he escapes back to Qiuzhou City."

Long Ting said, "Li Weiyi will never escape back to Qiuzhou City! He met with Tang Wanzhou last night, and his departure from the city today must be related to that. His next stop will definitely be the underground immortal abode. I will intercept and kill him. The people from the Zuoqiu Clan will soon find us here. You'd better watch yourselves."

Suddenly, something came to mind.

Long Ting stopped, turned around, and patted the boundary bag at his waist.

Enveloped in magical energy, a coffin flew out of the dimensional bag and crashed to the ground.

A sinister smile appeared on his handsome face: "Here's a gift for you. Enjoy it, then throw it into your rice paddies and let it turn into fertilizer."

After Long Ting and the demon warriors left, the Fourth Divine Son pushed the coffin lid open halfway and saw a pure immortal woman bound inside, who had been beaten unconscious. She was wearing the magical martial arts robes of the Thunder Cloud Sect.

"Is this the ultimate hatred? The Dragon Court is completely different from before; its mentality is truly twisted," the Fourth Divine Child muttered to himself.

Li Weiyi did not flee. Instead, he used the spatial power of the governor's robe to teleport seven or eight zhang underground, wrapped himself in a ghost flag, and concealed his aura.

Hearing the conversation above, I was extremely worried and secretly wondered who had been captured by the Dragon Court.

Although Li Weiyi wasn't personally responsible for the death of the Dragon King, he was undoubtedly directly responsible. How could the Dragon Court not seek revenge?
"Boom!"

The earth shook violently, and the sound of galloping horses could be heard from above.

The three groups that had previously pursued Li Weiyi and his group out of the city included one group sent by Zuoqiu Cangwu to contain the experts of the Jiuli Hidden Sect. This group had now completely surrounded the Fourth Divine Son and his companions.
