The Primordial Law

Chapter 300 Working together
"go!"

Ye Nanfeng was very rational; he knew that with these two joining forces, it was impossible to save Zuo Sheng today.

Ye Beifeng tried to escape, but was enveloped by Li Weiyi's psychic spider web, layer upon layer, as if trapped in a swamp, unable to break free.

"Still trying to leave? The third level of the Dao Seed Realm is nothing special."

Facing Ye Beifeng alone, Li Weiyi felt much less pressure and became more at ease. With the help of the six Phoenix-Winged Moth Queens, she completely suppressed him.

Seeing that there was no hope of escaping, Ye Beifeng, on the other hand, was being pursued by Ye Nanfeng and Yang Qingxi. They fought to a distance, and it was clear that they had no spare strength to rescue him.

Not wanting to end up like Zuo Sheng, Ye Beifeng removed the boundary bag and released the two puppet scarecrows.

He slit his wrist and splattered the blood onto them. He said, "You have strange insects to help you, and I have puppetry to rely on."

A burst of spiritual light appeared between Ye Beifeng's brows, activating the runes on the blood crystal within the puppet's body.

"Boom! Boom!"

The two puppet scarecrows, explosively releasing a large amount of black mist, "came to life," wielding daggers and short swords, and followed Ye Beifeng from the left and right, attacking Li Weiyi.

They are like ghosts, incredibly fast, and masters of movement and swordsmanship.

The puppet scarecrow was not created by Ye Beifeng; he was merely its controller.

Ye Beifeng's mental power was limited; over long distances, he could only control one puppet scarecrow. Otherwise, if all three puppet scarecrows were to infiltrate Nanqing Palace to assassinate Li Weiyi, he believed Li Weiyi would undoubtedly die.

The puppet scarecrow is only slightly stronger than a Phoenix Winged Moth King, but its defense is far inferior.

Under Li Weiyi's flaming whip attack, the two puppet scarecrows were quickly reduced to ashes.

"So it was you who tried to assassinate me. Who orchestrated it?"

Li Weiyi's sword strikes grew faster and his whip cracked more and more dangerous, forcing Ye Bei into a precarious situation, forcing him to retreat continuously and passively endure the blows.

Six phoenix-winged moths flew about, unleashing various attacks that left multiple wounds and bloodstains on his body.

Ye Beifeng dared not reveal the identity of the powerful figure who had given him the puppeteer scarecrow. After enduring dozens of moves, he was severely injured by Li Weiyi's palm strike, bleeding from all seven orifices. His limbs were then broken, and he was thrown into the Nanqing Palace.

Six winged moth queens were left behind to guard the area.

Li Weiyi, sword in hand, chased after Yang Qingxi and Ye Nanfeng, leaping through the air on a yellow dragon. From afar, he unleashed a sea-cleaving sword strike, leaving a bright trail of sword energy that intercepted Ye Nanfeng, who had used a stealth technique.

The south wind of the night fell to the ground.

"Boom!"

Two enormous divine mulberry trees, their shadows radiating light, descended from the sky and crashed down on his head.

Countless fiery roots spread out and entangled him.

"Wow!"

Yang Qingxi swung his sword, and countless sword energies crisscrossed and appeared.

The combination of sword energy and scripture was incredibly powerful, severing the tendons in Ye Nanfeng's hands and feet, causing his body to go limp.

Li Weiyi stood atop the radiant light of the Fusang Divine Tree, sword in hand, hovering in mid-air: "Is this the strength you, Dragon Seedling, have gained in a year? If I hadn't arrived in time, he would have escaped!"

Yang Qingxi's veil swayed in the wind: "Martial cultivators at the lower Dao Seed Realm naturally prioritize cultivating escape techniques. Not everyone is like you, able to use mental power to restrict their escape."

"You adulterous couple... Yang Qingxi, you and Li Weiyi are in cahoots, you won't have a good end... Ah..."

Ye Nanfeng was extremely unwilling. He had come full of confidence to save people, but he never expected to suffer such a big setback.

He screamed as Yang Qingxi slapped him across the face.

The entire head was pressed into the ground.

"Does the goddess who insulted the Divine Cult really think I'm still a young upstart in the Fifth Sea Realm?" Yang Qingxi sheathed her sword and returned to the ancestral field. Then, before Li Weiyi could react, she took away Ye Nanfeng's Grade 3 Hundred-Character Artifact Golden Pillar.

The golden pillar was very heavy, but when it was placed into the ancestral field, it lost all its weight.

That was an independent space she had created; as long as one's cultivation was strong enough, it could even contain mountains, lakes, and seas.

Li Weiyi was a step too slow and stared intently at Yang Qingxi.

This Miss Yang used to lead the younger generation of the Sui Sect with great magnanimity, but now she seems to have changed and has started to collect battle treasures.

Ye Nanfeng did not die, but fainted.

Li Weiyi's appearance was even worse than Yang Qingxi's. In front of countless disciples of the Divine Cult, he took off Ye Nanfeng's magical artifact battle armor and also took away his boundary bag and money bag.

Then.

He stood up and shouted to the crowd watching from a distance: "I know there are people from the Fourth Divine Son's Mansion among you. Tell Wang Shu a message: If he dares to send people to use puppet scarecrows to break into Nanqing Palace and assassinate me, then don't blame me for being impolite."

"However, every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor. I'm easy to talk to, I only care about money, and I don't hold grudges."

"Within three days, bring 1.5 million Yongquan coins to Nanqing Palace to redeem the person."

Yang Qingxi felt that Li Weiyi was too cautious and not ruthless enough, so she said in an elegant tone, "If Wang Shu does not come within three days, Ye Nanfeng, Ye Beifeng, and Zuo Sheng will be castrated and taken under my wing. As for the so-called Fourth Divine Son's Mansion, it would be better to remove the signboard as soon as possible. We, the rest of the Divine Sons and Divine Daughters, cannot afford to lose face like this."

Figures rushed out from the crowd, heading towards the Fourth Divine Son's Residence, the Spirit Valley Hall, and the Heavenly Principle Hall...

"This goddess is a ruthless person!"

"She is preparing to defeat the Fourth Divine Child and then take over all of his resources, including his subordinates and followers."

"If the Fourth Divine Son doesn't go to Nanqing Palace to salvage the situation within three days, the people below will surely be in a state of panic and switch allegiance to other Divine Sons and Daughters. Who would follow someone who can't even protect his own true disciples?"

...Yang Qingxi and Li Weiyi returned to the main hall of Nanqing Palace together.

This magnificent hip-roofed building is a remnant from the ancient Bhagavan period. Its walls are thick and crystalline, like they were cast from celestial jade. The roof is covered with emerald-green tiles, releasing wisps of cool, ethereal mist.

Zuo Sheng, Ye Nanfeng, and Ye Beifeng all had their limbs broken and were lying haphazardly inside, looking extremely miserable and wretched.

Li Weiyi went straight to the top of the main hall, to the jade throne that originally belonged to Yao Qingxuan, and used a cold jade box to preserve the severed arms of Qi Xiao and Tuoba Butuo.

Although it is known that the chances of continuing are slim.

Even a glimmer of hope is still hope.

Yang Qingxi stood in the center of the hall, scrutinizing him: "You actually dared to take you as a disciple, Venerable Nan wouldn't happen to be a member of your Nine Li Hidden Sect, would he?"

"Do you think that the Rice Ancestor and the temple masters of the Divine Cult are all fools? Untrustworthy people who can be entrusted with important responsibilities and in charge of the entire Southern Territory?"

Li Weiyi glanced at her, then closed the box and stood up: "Miss Yang is the sixth goddess of the Divine Sect. Wang Shu has a close relationship with the Wang family of Suizong. The ancestor of the Sheng family of Suizong was a Holy Spirit Master elder of the Divine Sect... Your Suizong has been able to make rapid progress in strength over the past thousand years, which is the reason why the Divine Sect has been nurturing you with all its might, right?"

Yang Qingxi said, "The Jiuli tribe has planted countless spies within the Sui Sect. If the Sui Sect was entirely cultivated by the Divine Cult, how could you be completely unaware of it?"

"If the Sui Sect truly wielded such power within the Divine Cult, would I have gone to fight with Wang Shu for people?"

Li Weiyi laughed and said, "Who knows? The Divine Sect is divided into four halls, each with its own interests and demands. The three deputy hall masters and five venerables of the Heavenly Hall are not a monolithic entity, are they? Each of them, at the Longevity Realm, has their own faction."

Both were probing each other, trying to get the information they wanted.

Yang Qingxi's eyes were deep: "The existence of the Divine Sect's headquarters was a top secret before the underground immortal mansion was exposed. A year ago, with my cultivation level, I had no idea that I was actually a rice man, nurtured by my father and mother's blood. I guess there are no more than ten people in the entire Sui Sect who can have direct contact with the Divine Sect."

Li Weiyi was skeptical.

Yang Qingxi said, "What? After all these tests, are you worried that Wang Shu and I will secretly join forces to deal with you?"

“Miss Yang, do you really think that by joining forces you can drag me into the abyss and put me to death? If I don’t die, you should understand what your fate will be.” Li Weiyi walked towards her, exuding a powerful aura.

Yang Qingxi felt an invisible pressure and said, "To deal with you now, Wang Shu doesn't need to join forces with me at all. Ye Nanfeng and Ye Beifeng are just two people at the third level of the Inferior Root Dao Seed Realm. Wang Shu could defeat them both with one hand. If it were him who came today, you wouldn't even have a chance to escape."

"Wang Shu's younger brother, Wang Zhi, has an even more terrifying soul seed within him."

Li Weiyi asked, "Then why didn't he show himself?"

"That's what I'm most worried about!"

Yang Qingxi continued, "The reason I didn't make a move earlier was to see if you could defeat Ye Nanfeng and Ye Beifeng and force Wang Shu to reveal his skills. If you can do that, then we can have a chance of winning if we join forces."

"The current result may seem like a great victory for us, but it is actually the worst-case scenario."

"If I'm not mistaken, Wang Shu must be at a crucial moment in condensing the Dao Lotus, so he has no time to attend to you."

“Once he breaks through to the fourth level of the Dao Seed Realm, neither of us will have any chance of winning. We will either have to submit or gamble that he won’t dare to break into the Nanqing Palace.”

"But now, Venerable Nan has left the main altar, while Wang Shu's master, the deputy hall master of the Heavenly Principle Hall, is still at the main altar. With the excuse of saving people, does he really not dare to break into the Southern Qing Palace?"

Li Weiyi believed Yang Qingxi's analysis. This woman was able to lead the younger generation of the Sui Sect when she was at the Fifth Sea Realm, and even some of the older generation were willing to obey her. Her wisdom and ability to analyze the situation were extraordinary.

"But you still made a move!" Li Weiyi knew very well that Yang Qingxi must have had something to do with it.

Yang Qingxi's red lips, glistening beneath her veil, parted slightly: "Our only chance to win now is for you to lend me the Blood Handprint Demon Armor and the Ghost Flag. Then the two of us will immediately charge into the Fourth Divine Son's Mansion, denying him the chance to condense the Dao Lotus, and cripple him."

Li Weiyi revealed a "I knew it" smile: "What's the reason? Without a reasonable reason, you broke into the Fourth Divine Son's Mansion and even wanted to abolish Wang Shu. Do you really think that Vice Hall Master of the Heavenly Court is made of clay?"

Yang Qingxi said, "Since we are already mortal enemies, why hesitate?"

Li Weiyi knew very well that Yang Qingxi dared to act so boldly because he must have a very powerful backer. It was highly likely that Yang Shenjing, the sect leader of the Sui Sect, held a very high position in the Twin Rice Sect.

But he is different.

He was a newcomer to the profession and was not trusted, so he had to be cautious in his actions.

Even if he wins the attack on the Fourth Divine Son's Mansion, he will still die at the hands of the Vice Hall Master of the Heavenly Principle Hall. The reason for killing him is that he attempted to rescue Qi Xiao and Tuoba Butuo.

Moreover, Li Weiyi felt that Yang Qingxi, despite her seemingly calm and intelligent demeanor, possessed a wild and daring side. She was entirely capable of taking a risky approach and using this opportunity to eliminate both Wang Shu and Li Weiyi.

“Three days! If Wang Shu doesn’t come to Nanqing Palace in three days, we’ll go to the Fourth Divine Son’s residence together and force him to make a move. As for the Blood Handprint Demon Armor and the Ghost Flag, let me think about them some more.”

Li Weiyi intended to use these three days to attempt to become a three-star Spiritual Master.

Once success is achieved, strength will inevitably increase significantly, making it sufficient to cope with all uncertainties.

Now it's a race against time, trying to break through before Wang Shu.

"It seems that after your ancestral land was destroyed, you really lost all your drive and rage. You really disappoint me. I'm already regretting my actions just now." Yang Qingxi glanced at him lightly.

Li Weiyi narrowed his eyes: "Yang Qingxi, don't forget, you owe me five million Yongquan coins on that bed at Changqing Temple. I can beat you five times. If you really force me to spend a million Yongquan coins to give you a good beating, then you'll know what true drive and hatred are!"

Li Weiyi ignored her and went to the backyard.

Yang Qingxi frowned slightly, then sat cross-legged in the hall, attempting once again to break through to the third level of the Dao Seed Realm. She decided to wait three days for Li Weiyi to see what he was up to.

Having already broken ties with Wang Shu, she naturally couldn't return to the Goddess's Mansion; being alone would be too dangerous.

Li Weiyi left the Green Tile Hall and walked along the Blood Lake toward the array where the Golden Rice was located. Suddenly, he saw a large phoenix fly out from behind the artificial hill. He was startled and looked around.

The Great Phoenix possessed a very strong aura and had grown to a foot in length, officially reaching the Dao Seed Realm.
