The Primordial Law

Chapter 308 Escape
Qiongji Daozi stood upright on the back of the golden eagle, his blue robes billowing like clouds, his demeanor gentle and handsome, his gaze sweeping across the crowd. All three hundred patrol guards concealed their magical energy, jumped off their mounts, and knelt on one knee.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Headmaster!"

Yi Zhouxue, Sikong Jingyuan, and Sikong Yanlun immediately bowed in greeting.

The Divine Child Chief is not only the Divine Child, but also the head of the Divine Sect and the leader of the younger generation of disciples. His power and prestige are so great that most elders must bow down and obey him.

Qiongji Daozi sighed, "One of you represents the Heavenly Principles Hall's patrol guards, responsible for order and rules, and patrolling for spies and traitors. The other represents the Withering and Flourishing Hall, the enforcers of the Divine Sect. What a trivial matter, yet you've already started fighting?"

Yi Zhouxue, Sikong Jingyuan, and Sikong Yanlun all knew that Qiongji Daozi was the second disciple of the Linggu Palace Master and had an extraordinary relationship with the Southern Venerable. They all thought he had come to protect Li Weiyi, and the three of them were uneasy and dared not speak.

Qiongji Daozi looked at the blood-soaked ground, his gaze falling on Wang Shu's corpse: "Although I take Venerable Nan as my role model and greatly admire her talent, I will never show favoritism or abuse my power. Wrong is wrong! Anyone who breaks the rules must pay the price."

"The law is not separate from human sentiment, and reason is not separate from the human heart. You each hold your own opinion, and both have their own logic. So, should that person be handed over to the patrol guards or the Hall of Decay and Glory?"

"How about we do it this way?"

“Yizhuo, your junior brother was killed. As the senior brother, it is only right to avenge him. Sikong Jingyuan, Sikong Yanlun, Yang Qingxi is entrusted to you. You must investigate this matter thoroughly.”

Yi Zhouxue, Sikong Jingyuan, and Sikong Yanlun were all stunned, then overjoyed.

He secretly admired the Divine Child's chief disciple; his methods were superb, resolving the conflict with ease. Moreover, both sides benefited, saving face and dignity.

"Senior Brother Shou is wise!"

The three of them shouted in unison.

Li Weiyi looked at the Divine Child Chief with disbelief. The Chief had promised Yao Qingxuan that he would help take care of him.

When Yao Qingxuan left, he even told Li Weiyi to seek his help whenever she encountered a danger she couldn't handle.

Li Weiyi never intended to seek help from Qiongji Daozi, but he never expected that this person would take advantage of his misfortune and try to kill him.

why?
What did I do to offend him?

Qiongji Daozi noticed Li Weiyi's gaze, looked at him, and a surge of spiritual power welled up in his eyes: "Li Weiyi, do you know your crime?"

His mental power was too strong, far more terrifying than the Daoist manifestation of Yi Zhouxue, directly striking Li Weiyi's spirit and soul.

If it were an ordinary martial artist at the Dao Seed Realm, they would be forced to kneel down.

Li Weiyi is only at the Five Seas Realm and has not yet cultivated his Soul Spirit. He must reach the Dao Seed Realm, build a Soul Bridge, and integrate a portion of his Soul Spirit into his Dao Seed to complete the Dao Seed Cultivation before he can slowly nurture and strengthen his Soul Spirit.

"Wow—"

In the spirit realm, three psychic stars spun rapidly, releasing layers of spiritual light shields that blocked the power of intent in Qiongji Daozi's eyes.

Li Weiyi struggled to maintain his composure, his eyes remaining sharp and piercing. He offered no explanation, for it was pointless. He said, "I only became Venerable Nan's eldest disciple three days ago. Three days later, the eldest disciple dies. Does Venerable Nan care about losing face like that? Yi Zhou Xue, you dare kill me? If Venerable Nan wanted to kill you, would your master protect you? You're nothing but the next Wang Shu!"

Yi Zhouxue held a long spear, her fighting spirit and killing intent gathering around her, but Li Weiyi's words made her heart feel cold.

Somewhat indecisive.

"Could it be that I am also a pawn of my master?" he wondered to himself.

Sikong Jingyuan chuckled and said, "Yizhu Xue, you're afraid of Venerable Nan, but we brothers aren't. Breaking the rules and making mistakes is a capital offense. If there's no law that treats everyone equally, how can the Divine Sect rule the world in the future?"

With the parents of the two hall masters of the Kuru Palace, Sikong Jingyuan and Sikong Yanlun are far more courageous than Yizhu Xue.

"You don't actually think that my only backer is my master, do you?"

Li Weiyi took out the jade array talisman given to him by An Xianjing and held it between two fingers: "I am able to control the array of the entire Nanqing Palace because of this array talisman bestowed upon me by the Palace Master. Don't you think about why someone like the Palace Master values ​​me so much? You act rashly without understanding the reason. Aren't you afraid of death?"

In private, the jade array talisman is worthless; no one would fear Li Weiyi because of it, and would only kill him to silence him.

But under the watchful eyes of everyone, it was as if it were the decree of the palace master.

Elder Xu exclaimed in surprise, "No wonder you were able to master the first level of the Six-fold Karma-Burning Talisman; the Palace Master must have taught you it long ago."

Qiongji Daozi was a connoisseur; he recognized that the jade array talisman was indeed his master's possession and immediately fell into deep thought.

Sikong Jingyuan and Sikong Yanlun also calmed down a lot. They had just returned from the Netherworld of the Dead and did not know Li Weiyi's background.

They could disregard the disciples of Venerable Nan. However, they should be more cautious about those who could be personally bestowed with array talismans by the Lord of Linggu Palace.

In other words, Li Wei's right to freely enter and leave Nanqing Palace was granted by the Palace Master.

Was it also the Palace Master's intention for Venerable Nan to accept Li Weiyi as his disciple?
Most importantly, in this situation, even if all the treasures are taken away, they will have to be returned to the palace master in the future, so they simply cannot hold onto them.

Seeing that he had intimidated everyone, Li Weiyi whispered to Yang Qingxi, "Let's go!"

Once we return to Nanqing Palace, the array formation will be sufficient to defend against them.

If all else fails, you can enter the formation area where the golden rice is located.

The three retreated cautiously, weaving through the patrolling guards, their nerves on edge. If the enemy were to take a desperate gamble and attack without regard for the consequences, they would be utterly annihilated.

Chu Tianshu stood outside the gate of the Heavenly Principles Hall, pondering silently.

Li Weiyi's earlier words had put him in a very passive position. Logically speaking, as a master, no one should criticize him for avenging his disciple.

But why didn't the master intervene to save him?
He wasn't afraid of criticism; what he feared was An Xianjing seizing this opportunity to attack him.

Now Chu Tianshu can only continue to pretend that he is not in the mortal world and is unaware of the truth while he is pursuing Tang Wanzhou.

"What a cunning young man! It seems we can't let him live. If we allow him to grow stronger, Yao Qingxuan will be like a tiger with wings."

Chu Tianshu's thoughts traveled dozens of miles, transmitting a telepathic message to Yi Zhouxue: "The law does not punish the masses. Let the patrol guards suppress them. After they are killed, Sikong Jingyuan and Sikong Yanlun will definitely try to take a share. As long as we drag these two into the mess, the water will become muddy!"

Yizhuo Xue understood her master's meaning, so she moved her lips and infused her voice with strands of magical energy, transmitting it to the three hundred patrol guards.

Before Li Weiyi and his two companions could even escape the battle formation of three hundred patrol guards, they used their telepathic powers to catch Yi Zhouxue's telepathic message. Their hearts sank, and they shouted, "Run!"

"boom!"

Li Weiyi's mental power transformed into a vast and powerful shockwave of spiritual light, which sent more than a dozen patrol guards flying.

We must escape the battlefield as quickly as possible.

Ahead, ten spears thrust out simultaneously, forming a small array that intertwined the power of the ten patrol guards, transforming it into a gigantic phantom of a war god that punched towards Li Weiyi. The smallest battle formation of the patrol guards was a ten-man formation.

There are also formations of twenty men, thirty men, and a hundred men...

The more people there are, the stronger the formation becomes.

Li Weiyi was naturally not afraid of a mere ten-man formation, and used his telekinetic light whip to blast the illusory image of the God of War apart.

They dared not linger in battle.

He used the Yellow Dragon Ascends to Heaven technique, breaking away from the formation area of ​​three hundred patrol guards and appearing a few feet above the edge of the formation area.

A formation of a hundred people was successfully set up, with a formation plate a hundred feet in diameter rotating above their heads. From the center of the formation, a large seal of the seventh-grade hundred-character artifact flew out, its power fully displayed.

"Boom!"

The seal landed and smashed into the ground, creating a huge crater.

The soil around the giant pit showed signs of melting, and the vegetation that had protected the area for dozens of meters turned to ashes.

Li Weiyi used his movement technique to dodge first, but was blasted away by the impact of the seal, rolling several times on the ground, and continued to flee towards Nanqing Palace.

As long as Xue Yi doesn't dare to join the pursuit, and given that these patrol guards are slow and few are skilled, he is confident he can escape back to Nanqing Palace.

"Boom!"

A large number of patrol guards, riding their lost spirit beasts, surged toward Li Weiyi like a tidal wave.

Qiongji Daozi stood on the back of the two-headed golden-winged eagle, remaining silent ever since Li Weiyi took out the jade array talisman. He knew he had miscalculated today, and if he got involved with his master any further, there would truly be no way to deal with the situation.

He then fell into reflection, wondering why he had made such a mistake.
……

Tianxin Temple is the largest Taoist temple in the prefecture, with flourishing incense offerings and numerous disciples.

It was the third month of spring, the branches were adorned with emerald green, and the birds sang melodiously.

Wearing a veil and with a red mole on his eyebrow, Yao Qingxuan sat on a futon, looking both dignified and sacred, yet mysterious and beautiful, quietly listening to the messages from his people who had stayed at the main altar, who came to report on Lingji Mountain.

Every moment, new information is transmitted to the ground.

"No one from the Yang family has shown up?" she asked softly.

The old man kneeling outside the door shook his head and said, "No."

"They're really good at keeping their composure! Then we don't need to worry about the Yang family, since we didn't include them in our calculations anyway."

Yao Qingxuan was certain that Li Weiyi would go to the Fourth Divine Son's Mansion to rescue people. He also knew that Qiongji Daozi was jealous, and the more he cared about Li Weiyi and praised her, the less likely Qiongji Daozi would protect her.

Therefore, she deliberately left the headquarters, allowing the situation to develop in the direction she had predicted.

Li Weiyi has a special identity and possesses too many treasures, making him a target of covetousness within the Divine Cult.

Some people want him dead.

Some people want the strange insects and the ghost flag.

If we don't take this opportunity to resolve these issues in advance, Li Weiyi will die an unexplained death sooner or later.

To solve this problem, we need the Palace Master An to take action.

To her surprise, Li Weiyi actually made her move three days later, killing Wang Zhi and Wang Shu. Her strength far exceeded her expectations, and the situation was far more serious.

What she didn't expect was that not only did Qiongji Daozi not help her, but he also wanted to take the opportunity to kill Li Weiyi.

If he could maintain his integrity and uprightness, Yao Qingxuan would think highly of him.

But when Li Weiyi took out the Azure Jade Array Talisman, this Divine Son Chief actually backed down!

Yao Qingxuan said, "Li Weiyi is too audacious. He even dared to kill a divine son. He needs to be taught a lesson. Tell Shanze that unless his life is in danger, there's no need to rescue him. Also, send a message to Hall Master An about what happened at the main altar!"

……

Sikong Jingyuan and Sikong Yanlun followed behind the patrol guards, watching Li Weiyi and his two companions getting closer and closer to Nanqing Palace.

Sikong Yanlun was very unwilling: "We have already offended them to death today. If we let them go like this, they will definitely take revenge in the future."

Sikong Jingyuan was much calmer: "Even Yizhu Xue didn't dare to act rashly, and the Divine Child Chief remained silent. This shows that the jade array talisman in Li Weiyi's hand is genuine. Just now, we were only acting as martial artists of the Kuru Palace, handling official business, and didn't commit any serious offense. If we had made a move, there would truly have been no room for maneuver."

Sikong Yanlun said, "What a pity, such a good opportunity."

“Making a move openly isn’t a good opportunity,” Sikong Jingyuan said.

Sikong Yanlun asked, "What do you mean?"

“They can’t stay at the main altar to cultivate forever; they will definitely go out to carry out missions. Taking action secretly can avoid a lot of trouble.”

Sikong Jingyuan continued, "First, investigate who this Li Weiyi is, what his relationship is with Palace Master An, and why he can control so many treasures?"

……

They charged forward, leaving behind a trail of patrol guards' corpses, before Li Weiyi, Yang Qingxi, and Yang Qingchan stormed into the array of light surrounding the Nanqing Palace.

Li Weiyi was panting heavily, his whole body covered in blood. The Blood Handprint Demon Armor had been knocked away, the scriptures had dissipated, the blood mist had cleared, and his body had been pierced by spears, leaving several bloody holes.

But instead of lying down to rest, he mobilized his mental power and fully activated the great formation of Nanqing Palace.

At this moment, Li Weiyi could finally burst into laughter: "Yizhu Xue, you've been fooled by me! The worst thing in this world is to do something halfway and then hesitate. Not only will you fail to achieve your goal, but you'll also make enemies."

He also said this to the chief of the divine beings.
