The Primordial Law

Chapter 336 Lu Cangsheng is back
He broke through his cultivation level, and his overall strength increased dramatically.

Li Weiyi looked at the square iron box, about a foot long, enshrined in the Buddhist shrine on the blood-splattered ground, and channeled all his magical power into his arms.

Too heavy...

I still can't lift it!
These days, Li Weiyi has tried every possible method, but he has been unable to open the iron box. He can only wait until his cultivation level is higher before he can study it.

His gaze then fell on Tang Wanzhou, who was sitting not far away.

It must be said that this young lord of the North is exceptionally handsome and has an outstanding presence. He has a long ponytail, a dark black robe, and a beautifully slender waist and chest.

Her pure, ethereal skin softened her heroic aura, allowing one to perceive her inner gentle beauty.

Even in a state of utter stillness, he remained upright and ramrod straight, as sharp as a divine sword.

Which man in the past would dare to stare so intently, examining something with the same eye one would use to admire a fine work of art?

Li Weiyi had never treated her as a woman before, let alone admired her for a long time in a way that seemed offensive. There was an indescribable sense of excitement in him.

The problem is, it's easy to invite a deity, but difficult to send her away. Li Weiyi tried to pull her out of the blood mud space, but she resisted fiercely, and the attempt failed.

He dared not push her too far, lest she wake up and try to kill him again.

At this stage, Li Weiyi cannot hand her over to Xue Jiantang.

He had barely stepped out of the main altar when Tang Wanzhou appeared immediately; it would be strange if this didn't arouse suspicion from the powerful members of the Rice Cult.

……

Li Weiyi cultivated for ten days, but only two days passed outside.

Pushing open the cabin door, a gentle breeze from the river wafted in.

He looked out over the river and onto the distant shore, and was immediately filled with joy and contentment.

The weather has cleared up, and there isn't a single speck of dust in the air.

It was late afternoon, and the plains on the east bank of the Qujiang River had disappeared. A majestic mountain range covered in snow appeared before us, its peaks bathed in golden sunlight.

On the river, the golden mountain peaks are reflected in the water, connecting with the shore, creating a magnificent and awe-inspiring scene.

Knowing that he had come out of the pass, Taishi Bai came downstairs, dressed in a silver-embroidered robe and a white sable fur coat, exuding an air of nobility.

He walked along the corridor and said with a smile, "Brother Zuo has finally left the pass. In another hour, we will reach Leiling City. After that, we will have no more boats to take and will have to travel another four hundred li overland to reach Nanyan Pass and then enter the pass."

"I have already sent my retainers ahead to Leiling City to make all the arrangements. Tonight, it will most likely be the Lord of Leiling City who will host a welcome dinner for us. Brother Zuo, you must come with us and don't sneak away."

That was exactly what Li Weiyi planned.

Having his thoughts exposed, he couldn't help but smile awkwardly and asked, "Have any members of the cult appeared in the last two days?"

Tai Shi Bai's expression was solemn: "After that battle, I have always felt a faint sense of being watched. Most of the evil cultists are following us on the shore. Brother Zuo, you don't need to pay attention to them. Once we reach Leiling City, it will be the core territory of my Tai Shi family. We will not allow them to act recklessly."

Taishi Bai left to direct his servants and maids to pack up their luggage, goods, carts, and exotic animals, preparing to disembark.

"Boom!"

On the distant snow-capped mountain, a bolt of lightning struck, its sparks flying in all directions.

Tuoba Butuo wrapped himself in a gray robe and wore a mask to conceal his pure silver immortal body. He walked to Li Weiyi's side, looking at the lightning bolts constantly falling among the snow-capped mountains: "Brother Weiyi, do you know why Leiling City is called Leiling City?"

Li Weiyi asked, "Why?"

Qi Xiao appeared on the other side of Li Weiyi, dressed like Tuoba Butuo: "Lei Ling refers to the Thirty-Six Thunder Tombs! The former master of Yuntian Immortal Plain was the Lei Xiao Sect. The Thirty-Six Thunder Tombs are the tombs of thirty-six extraordinary figures in the history of the Lei Xiao Sect."

"Leiling City was once the residence of the tomb guardians of the Leixiao Sect. Now it is the second largest city in Liangzhou and is extremely prosperous."

Tuoba Butuo said, "After more than ten years of war, all the officials of the former twenty-eight prefectures have retreated and gathered in the eight prefectures. Leiling City can be considered a giant city at the foot of the Immortal Plains, with a population of several million. There must be a Heavenly Pavilion there. Tonight, let's go to the Heavenly Pavilion and drink until we drop."

"I'm afraid we can't go! Taishi Bai has already invited us to the City Lord's Mansion's welcome banquet tonight. Old Qi, what are you looking at?" Li Weiyi asked.

Qi Xiao's gaze fell on the bow of the ship, where he saw an extremely beautiful and graceful figure. Her clothes were brightly colored, her skin was dazzlingly white, and her black hair had an extremely high luster. A white tail hung down a small section outside her skirt.

She stood close to Taishi Bai, laughing and talking, looking like a perfect couple.

But the tall, graceful figure seemed to sense the three people's gazes, glanced back, and then vanished in an instant, with an eerie speed.

Li Weiyi reminded him, "Old Qi, have you never seen a stunning beauty before? I feel like your soul has been stolen away."

Qi Xiao took a deep breath, recovered, and exclaimed in astonishment, "I wasn't bewitched, I was terrified! Why do I feel like she's that witch from the Long family?"

“I also feel it’s her,” Tuoba Butuo said.

Li Weiyi asked, "What are you talking about?"

Qi Xiao said, "The woman who was flirting with Taishi Bai just now is most likely another prodigy of the Long family, a successor-level figure. She became famous twenty years ago and is said to have half demon blood."

“Long Xiangcen!” Tuoba Butuo said.

Li Weiyi asked, "How come the Long family has so many inheritors?"

Qi Xiao smiled wryly: "The Long family was a family with tens of millions of members at its peak. It's normal for several successors to emerge in a sixty-year period."

“Even among those who inherit the legacy, there are different levels. Someone like me can only be considered second-rate,” Tuoba Butuo said. “Only the Dragon Palace was qualified to be the first inheritor of the Dragon Gate, but unfortunately, he died at the hands of Tang Wanqiu and Lu Cangsheng.” The post boat arrived at the ferry.

A large contingent of people had already come to greet them, many dressed in official robes, with carriages and exotic animals filling the riverbank.

Neither Long Shi nor Long Xiangcen got out of the carriage from beginning to end; only Taishi Bai made an appearance.

Unable to refuse, Li Weiyi attended the welcoming banquet at the city lord's mansion. Tuoba Butuo and Qi Xiao, disguised as attendants, did not take their seats.

Neither the Long family nor Long Xiangcen appeared at the banquet.

Li Weiyi had absolutely no interest in the drinking parties in official circles. Taking advantage of Taishi Bai being surrounded and toasted by a group of officials from Leiling City, he quickly withdrew and "escaped" from the city lord's mansion with Tuoba Butuo and Qi Xiao.

The food at the Rice Religion Headquarters was really not good; I've been owing them a year's worth of good food.

The three headed straight for the Heavenly Pavilion, ready to treat themselves.

Tiange belongs to Qianli Mountain and does not participate in the struggles of the world, therefore it strictly protects the secrets and privacy of its guests, so there is no need to worry about their identities being leaked. Many secret transactions and gatherings take place here.

Tuoba Butuo was a member of a wealthy family who knew how to enjoy life. He not only ordered a table full of delicious food, but also had a beautiful young woman, chosen from among thousands, play music, dance, and accompany him while he drank. It was an extravagant affair.

Li Weiyi was not detached from worldly affairs; he was accompanied by beautiful women who would occasionally offer him a glass of fine wine.

It was a dull year, with most of the time spent in seclusion eating dry food.

The wine didn't seem so bad after all.

Tuoba Butuo did not completely let his guard down and communicated through telepathy: "Actually, Lao Qi and I have completely overestimated ourselves. Even if our identities are exposed, the Taishi family will not take it too seriously. They may not know that a year ago, I entered the underground immortal mansion with Shaojun and got trapped inside."

“Brother Wei Yi, you are different! Your identity as the Hidden Man of the Nine Li Hidden Sect is far more important than mine, as are the treasures you possess.”

Qi Xiao, his face deathly pale, strode in from outside, as if he had been frightened: "Do you know who I ran into when I came back just now?"

Qi Xiao frequently visits the Heavenly Pavilion and the Immortal Forest. He has high standards and felt that the arrangements made by others were inappropriate. He had just personally gone to the inner courtyard to select beauties.

Tuoba Butuo waved his hand, signaling the women to leave for the time being.

Qi Xiao drank three cups in a row before suppressing his shock: "I just brushed past Long Ting. Luckily, I used the Disguise Technique to conceal my aura. Otherwise, things would definitely have gone wrong."

Tuoba Butuo said, "The Dragon Court may not know Qi Xiao of the Southern Border."

Qi Xiao didn't even have the mood to scold him. He slammed his hand on the table and said, "A few days ago, Long Ting and Luan Sheng Lin You appeared together at the main altar. What does it mean that they are now appearing in Lei Ling City? Luan Sheng Lin You is very likely in Tian Ge."

Li Weiyi and Tuoba Butuo's eyes suddenly turned cold; both of them had blood feuds with Luan Shenglin since childhood.

To be precise, Qi Xiao's younger brother also died indirectly at his hands.

Li Weiyi said, "I'll go investigate. Don't make any rash moves. Old Qi might have already been exposed. Besides, if Luan Shenglin is not here and Long Ting is alone, how can we let go of this great opportunity to deal with him?"

Wearing a fourth-grade invisibility cloak, Li Weiyi concealed his aura to the extreme and slowly crept towards the location indicated by Qi Xiao.

Not even the slightest breeze dared to disturb them.

Before long, outside one of the courtyards filled with white plum blossoms, the lingering scent of the Dragon Court was discovered.

The entire courtyard was shrouded in an array; without breaking the array, it was impossible to know what was inside. But breaking the array would surely alert the martial arts masters inside.

Li Weiyi did not act rashly. Light as a leaf, she landed on an ancient plum tree as thick as a water bucket by the wall and looked inside.

"The Heavenly Eye!"

The vertical eye between his eyebrows opened, and the true scene inside the array was immediately revealed.

Li Weiyi's heart skipped a beat after just one glance.

Inside the courtyard, in a glazed octagonal pavilion beside a spirit pool, a figure dressed in a star-patterned robe sat, his face so handsome it was almost otherworldly, his long hair sometimes silver and sometimes white, as he elegantly sipped his drink.

Just a single figure conveyed an indescribable sense of profundity and danger.

Long Ting stood outside the pavilion, reporting something to him.

Seven or eight other figures gathered in the open space in the southwest corner of the courtyard, where thirty coffins were neatly arranged.

What truly surprised Li Weiyi was that Long Xiangcen was also in the pavilion. She lifted her long, slender legs and straddled Luan Shenglin's slender legs, hooking her arms around his neck, extremely alluring and bold, her fluffy tail swaying back and forth.

This relationship... is something Li Weiyi just can't understand!

Mingming Long Xiangcen and Taishi Bai have always been very close, like a couple, so why does she seem even closer to Luan Shenglin You?
Suddenly.

Inside the pavilion, Luan Shenglin, who was sipping wine with one hand and gently embracing Long Xiangcen's waist with the other, sensed something. His emotionless eyes looked towards the plum blossoms in full bloom outside the courtyard, and a look of doubt appeared in them.

I was just about to send someone to investigate.

The formation is activated.

Chen Wenwu strode into the courtyard and urgently reported, "Young Master, breaking news! Lu Cangsheng is back! Someone saw him and the martial artists from the Leixiao Sect enter the Thirty-Six Tombs of Leixiao at nightfall."

Luan Shenglin smiled with interest and patted Long Xiangcen's shoulder, gesturing for her to stand up: "I've been waiting for those ten people for two years. Long Ting, would you like to meet this once-in-a-millennium hero of the Thunder Cloud Sect and see how much progress he's made in his cultivation at the Crossing Calamity Temple?"
