The Primordial Law

Chapter 328 is unclear.
Li Weiyi couldn't speak, her neck was about to be snapped by her grip. She slapped her arm while using her mental power to say, "Calm down, you've gone mad!"

"I am calmer than ever. If I were to go mad, you would already be dead." Tears streamed down Tang Wanzhou's face like beans; he was truly heartbroken.

Li Weiyi's face was wet with her tears. He said, "Let go first, and I can explain."

"Fine, based on our relationship over the past year, I should give you a chance to speak before I kill you, so you won't resent my heartlessness." Tang Wanzhou released his grip and slumped back down.

Li Weiyi was finally able to breathe, propped himself up, and looked at her.

At this moment, she bore no resemblance to the once peerless young lord; she resembled a resentful woman who had been deceived in love.

Li Weiyi knew that there was definitely something wrong with her memory and emotions, so without wasting any words, he went straight to the source and carefully asked, "Young Master, do you still remember why you entered the underground immortal mansion?"

"What did you call me?"

Tang Wanzhou laughed self-deprecatingly, her red lips parted in a smile filled with tears, then she nodded fiercely: "Fine, very fine, you're indeed ruthless. It doesn't matter, you won't live much longer anyway!"

Li Weiyi was completely numb. Only a portion of the memories and experiences that had flooded his mind earlier were still there. He really didn't know what he had called her in her false memories.

Li Weiyi tried to remain calm: "Answer my question first, and I will definitely be able to help you recover."

Tang Wanzhou said, "If it weren't for helping you find the Spirit Platform Flame Star Stone, would I have risked entering the underground immortal abode?"

Li Weiyi frowned deeply: "How long have we known each other, Shaojun? Where did we meet?"

“Naturally, we met in Qiuzhou City! If you ask me any more nonsense, don’t blame me for killing you right now,” she said.

Li Weiyi said, "Since we've only known each other for a few months, why would someone as wise and rational as you, Shaojun, risk helping me? Don't you think that doesn't make sense? The truth is, all your memories are fake. You've had a problem with your cultivation, or you encountered unknown dangers on the other side of the space teleportation array."

Tang Wanzhou stared intently at him, his eyes filled with disbelief, as if he wanted to get to know him all over again: "Li Weiyi, how can a person be so shameless? Yes, that's right, I've been obsessed with cultivation since I was a child, lacking experience and understanding of human nature too little, otherwise I wouldn't have stumbled so badly on you. But you actually treat me like an idiot?"

Seeing that she was losing control of her emotions and was about to make another move, which would obviously be to kill him.

If they were to be killed like that, it would be like snow falling in June.

Li Wei was about to explode, and quickly reassured him, "No, absolutely not! Let's calm down and give me another chance to explain."

"You'd better cherish every word you say, my patience is limited," Tang Wanzhou said.

Li Weiyi decided to change her approach: "There must be some misunderstanding between us. May I ask, young lord, in what way have I taken advantage of you? In what way have I deceived you?"

We need to figure out her current state first and stabilize her.

Tang Wanzhou stared coldly at him and retorted, "Don't you know that yourself?"

"I do not know."

Li Weiyi paused, then quickly added, "I've already said there's a misunderstanding between us. We need to clear it up. You've forgotten how much we used to trust each other."

Tang Wanzhou recalled the past, his eyes softening and filled with sorrow: "Let me ask you, are you a member of a cult?"

"I guess so!" Li Weiyi said.

"Isn't that okay?"

Tang Wanzhou formed a sword finger and said, "You asked me to gather a large number of people to enter the underground immortal mansion to help you find the Spirit Platform Flame Star Stone, wasn't that just an attempt to lure me to the headquarters of the evil cult?"

“I only joined after arriving at the headquarters of the Divine Cult. Have you forgotten how I encountered Venerable Nan at the Starfire Altar?” Li Weiyi said.

Tang Wanzhou was furious: "Isn't she your master? Didn't you invite her?"

"I only became a disciple later out of necessity," Li Weiyi said.

Tang Wanzhou said, "You're full of lies. I'll never believe you again. Go to hell. I'll burn paper money for you every year on this day."

"Wait a minute."

Li Weiyi shouted, and then said, "Fine, I tricked you into coming to the headquarters of the Divine Cult. What was my purpose? If I were really a bastard, you would be imprisoned in the Divine Prison now, or you would already be executed."

Tang Wanzhou sneered: "You probably want to use me until you're done, then hand me over to the cult in exchange for huge amounts of wealth and resources, right?"

"What use would I have for you?" Li Weiyi asked.

Tang Wanzhou said, "Use me to go to the Sacred Heart Layer and steal the Book of Radiant Stars and Mornings for you."

"..."

Li Weiyi was completely speechless.

Tang Wanzhou stood up, her posture gradually becoming more upright, suppressing her intense emotions and negative feelings: "Speechless now, aren't you? For your sake, how many proud young men of my Northern Territory have fallen into the Divine Prison and died at the Starfire Altar. Li Weiyi, I would kill you ten times over, and you would deserve it."

"I've got it, I have witnesses."

Li Weiyi's eyes lit up: "Young Master, do you still remember Tuoba Butuo?"

“The Tuoba clan has only produced one successor in a hundred years, how could I not know?” Tang Wanzhou said.

"Give me a moment."

Li Weiyi stepped out of the array's veil of light, where Tuoba Butuo and Qi Xiao were waiting.

Upon seeing the injury on Li Weiyi's neck, the two were extremely worried and quickly asked what had happened.

“I can’t explain it to you in a short time. Tuoba, come in with me. Old Qi, if the Palace Master and the Venerable return, do not tell them that I am inside this formation.”

Li Weiyi led Tuoba Butuo into the array of light and shadow.

Upon seeing Tang Wanzhou standing beside the spatial teleportation array, Tuoba Butuo was filled with shock and immediately knelt on one knee to pay his respects: "Tuoba Butuo greets Young Lord. Young Lord, what are you doing at Nanqing Palace?"

Tang Wanzhou had regained the demeanor of the young lord of the Northern Territory, one hand behind his back, his long, slender neck radiating arrogance: "I've been in the Southern Qing Palace all along. Didn't this fourth divine son of the heretical sect tell you?"

Tuoba Butuo looked at Li Weiyi, his face full of questions. He really couldn't understand what was going on.
How did Shaojun enter the Rice Cult's headquarters, and why did he hide with Brother Weiyi for a whole year?
Since the young lord trusts Brother Wei so much, why was his tone distant and cold just now?

Li Weiyi said, "Young Master has encountered some problems. Tuoba, you tell her why she entered the underground immortal abode?"

Tuoba Butuo was even more bewildered: "Of course we're here to explore the underground immortal abode, that's right, for the luminous star book on the murals."

Li Weiyi looked at Tang Wanzhou.

Tang Wanzhou said in a low voice, "It was my fault. I trusted people too easily and put you in danger. Even Tang Hu died in battle. I will never make such a mistake again in my life."

Tuoba Butuo said, "Whom did the young lord mistakenly trust?"

Tang Wanzhou looked at Li Weiyi: "He told me about the mural recording the Book of Stars and Mornings. Now that I think about it carefully, he deliberately led me there."

Tuoba Butuo was completely stunned, never expecting such a behind-the-scenes story.

Every young martial artist in the Northern Territory idolizes Tang Wanzhou, and Tuoba Butuo is no exception. In his heart, Tang Wanzhou is the embodiment of perfection, possessing outstanding talent, courage, wisdom, and magnanimity.

Therefore, he completely trusted Tang Wanzhou, even beyond trust, and regarded her words as truth.

Li Weiyi whispered, "Tuoba, Shaojun may have gone mad from her cultivation, and her memories are becoming disordered. She even believes that I have a very deep relationship with her."

Tuoba Butuo carefully observed Tang Wanzhou but couldn't see anything wrong. He smiled and said, "Brother Weiyi, you and Shaojun are heroes who admire each other. If you didn't have a very deep friendship, why would Shaojun hide here with you? This shows that he has absolute trust in you!"

Li Weiyi said, "The friendship I'm talking about is different from what you're talking about. It's... the relationship between a man and a woman."

Tuoba Butuo's eyes nearly popped out of his head. He had never imagined that such an extraordinary woman as Shaojun would fall in love with a man. It was bound to cause a sensation throughout the entire Northern Territory.

"Isn't that outrageous?" Li Weiyi said.

Seeing Tang Wanzhou standing there calmly without denying it, Tuoba Butuo was shocked beyond words. After a long while, he laughed loudly: "To be honest, if it were any other man, I, Tuoba Butuo, would absolutely not be able to accept it, because no one in the world is worthy of the young lord. But if it is your only brother, I can remain calm, because you two are people I truly admire."

"Snapped!"

Li Weiyi patted his silver head: "Be serious. My life depends on you now. Believe me, she really has a big problem, she just looks normal on the surface."

Tang Wanzhou said calmly, "You can leave now. This is none of your business!"

“Alright! Young Master, Brother Wei, you are both the most intelligent people in the world. If there is any misunderstanding, you can definitely clear it up. I really know nothing about matters of the heart between men and women, and I really can't help you.”

Tuoba Butuo hurriedly withdrew from the array's light veil, still feeling dizzy and unable to calm down from the shock. He let out a long breath.

Qi Xiao walked over and asked, "What major event has occurred?"

Tuoba Butuo's thoughts drifted far away: "Your Qi family belongs to the Zuoqiu School, right?"

“That’s right,” Qi Xiao said.

Tuoba Butuo said, "After you leave, try to get Zuoqiu Menting to annul the engagement. Otherwise, Zuoqiu Hongting will encounter the most formidable enemy she will ever face. This may be the root of the greatest pain and conflict between the two people inside."

Qi Xiao was completely bewildered and had no idea what he was talking about.

Inside the array's veil of light.

Tang Wanzhou said, "In my life, I have only pursued the ultimate realm of martial arts and sought to end the chaos and bring peace back to the world. Your appearance has wounded my mind in the short term, but time will surely heal all wounds and everything will return to normal. You think you are exceptionally intelligent and skillful, but when I realize this, I am capable of hardening my heart and severing the ties in my heart."

"Li Weiyi, just kill yourself!"

Li Weiyi sensed that the battle fluctuations had ceased, and Yao Qingxuan could return at any moment, causing her anxiety. She secretly pondered whether to try using the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish; perhaps it would be useful to her.

But given the hatred and killing intent in her heart at this moment, how could she give him the opportunity to use the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish?

Moreover, the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish was the secret he could least reveal.

Li Weiyi had no choice but to change tactics again: "If you kill me, how will you leave the main altar?"

"That's my business, no need for you to worry about it," Tang Wanzhou said.

Li Weiyi walked towards her: "I know you won't believe anything I say now. But you should at least believe that if your secret of hiding here is exposed, neither of us will escape death. The battle is over, Venerable Nan will return at any time, and perhaps the Lord of Linggu Palace will also come."

“Right now, the entire headquarters is under martial law, all the formations are activated, and Chao Ran might even be involved. If you leave Nanqing Palace, you will surely die.”

"Only I can help you! I can even take you away from the main altar and back to the surface."

Tang Wanzhou nodded slightly: "You're clever. You've actually thought of a way out. I must warn you, if you're just stalling for time, hoping to hand me over after Venerable Nan returns, I'll definitely drag you down with me before I die."

With time running out and no other options, after some haggling, Li Weiyi finally compromised and allowed Tang Wanzhou to hide in Zutian.

She felt extremely threatened and was unwilling to enter the boundary bag. She needed to control Li Weiyi's life and death, fearing that she would fall into his scheme again.

This man broke her heart.

Li Weiyi cleaned up all traces and aura of Tang Wanzhou in this area, destroyed the spatial teleportation array, and piled up all the ruins.

They just exited the formation.

Tuoba Butuo, who was guarding outside the Nanqing Palace, rushed over to report: "His Excellency has returned!"

"Stay calm and don't give yourself away."

Li Weiyi hurried outside to greet them, utterly exhausted. Just because he had taken a piece of Lingtai Yanxing Stone from Tang Wanzhou for free in Qiuzhou City, the trouble was only getting worse.

What should I do next?
