The Primordial Law

Chapter 338 Showdown with Long Xiangcen

The spiritual light, with its vertical eye, hovered outside the golden smiling Buddha mask, possessing unparalleled mystique and seeing through all illusions.

Long Xiangcen met Li Weiyi's gaze, feeling as if she were exposed to the scorching sun, her entire body as if naked. It was as if all her secrets would be seen through by him.

"Let's stop here for today! If we continue fighting, it will surely alert the various martial artists in the Heavenly Pavilion."

Li Weiyi did not intend to fight, but with his Heavenly Eye open, it was really difficult for him to maintain a peaceful and natural state of mind. He was at a complete disadvantage and was destined to lose today.

The star trail patterns released by the Staff of All Things spread all over its body.
Li Wei thrust out with his spear.

"Whoosh!"

A beam of crimson-gold light shot out from the tip of the spear, shattering the five layers of external manifestations of the Dao Heart, and shooting straight at the array light screen above the courtyard wall.

Once it's broken open, the ones who should be worried are Long Xiangcen and the demon martial artists.

Just as the beam of light was about to hit the array barrier, a blue dragon scale the size of a palm-leaf fan blocked the beam.

Then came the second piece, the third piece...

"Bang! Bang..."

Long Xiangcen used seven dragon scales to completely block the power of the beam.

"You've had your fun, I haven't even started yet."

She was clearly standing seven zhang away, but as soon as the second word was uttered, she appeared beside Li Weiyi with terrifying speed.

Pinch your claws with all five fingers!

The fingernails gleamed gold, bearing four claw marks.

Li Weiyi's protective aura was truly like a layer of light, unable to block her claw marks in the slightest.

"forward!"

Li Weiyi used his mental power to pronounce the character "前" (qian), one of the nine characters in the Six Jia Secret Incantation.

The golden crow flames on his body flickered violently, intensely and dazzlingly bright.

The next instant, he appeared ten feet away.

His left arm ached from being struck by Long Xiangcen's claw marks. Three white marks appeared on the left sleeve of his invisibility cloak, destroying his invisibility ability. Three bloody marks appeared on the back of his hand. Had he been wearing ordinary clothes, Li Weiyi's left arm would have been severely injured.

Only then did the word "begin" reach Li Weiyi's ears.

She was incredibly fast, and her cultivation was extremely profound.

"Fire-based escape technique, Flame Flash?" Long Xiangcen was quite surprised that her attack had failed.

It wasn't Yan Shan, but Liu Jia Mi Zhu.

Li Weiyi had come into contact with the nine characters of the Six Jia Secret Invocation when he was a child, but he only regarded them as a kind of incantation.

It wasn't until he reached the Dao Seed Realm and activated the Yellow Dragon Sword that the nine characters of the Six Jia Secret Blessing appeared on the sword's blade, at which point he began to study them.

All nine characters are ancient and full of mystery.

It was only later that it was discovered that combining it with telekinesis could unleash a variety of wondrous techniques.

The character “前” can not only perform fire-based escape techniques, but also all five elements of escape techniques.

If it encounters fire, it will escape through fire.

When it encounters water, it escapes into the water.

"Shh!"

Long Xiangcen mobilized the magical energy within her Daoist mind's external manifestation, condensing it into countless white ribbons to bind and restrict Li Weiyi's speed. Alternatively, the ribbons could transform into white dragons to launch a direct attack.

Li Weiyi knew her strength well, so he didn't fight her head-on, knowing that a prolonged battle would inevitably lead to defeat.

He spun the staff of all things in his hand, then slashed at the courtyard wall. The wall collapsed with a crash, and the array formation of the courtyard shook violently.

With that one movement, the entire Heavenly Pavilion shook, and the ground trembled.

Inside the Heavenly Pavilion, countless martial arts practitioners turned their gazes in that direction, all knowing that a battle had broken out inside.

An elder from the Heavenly Pavilion appeared outside the courtyard.

Li Weiyi's speed was momentarily slowed in order to unleash this spear, and he paid the price. His wrists, the Staff of All Things, his neck, and his waist and legs were all bound by white silk of magical energy. Long Xiangcen flew over and struck him in the face with a claw, extremely ruthless.

Once hit, the entire skull will be shattered into pieces.

Having no other choice, Li Weiyi unleashed the second level of the Six Like Burning Karma Technique, the Burning Karma Millstone. He completely combined martial arts and mental power, clashing with Long Xiangcen who was coming towards him.

"Boom!"

Li Weiyi was thrown out and crashed into another courtyard wall.

Taking this opportunity, he activated the Staff of All Things in his hand, piercing through the array barrier. With a bang, it crashed outside the courtyard, causing the artificial hill to collapse and the ground to cave in.

Large sections of Long Xiangcen's colorful clothes were burned away by the flames of the Burning Karma Millstone. Her porcelain doll-like body was almost completely exposed, except for a few vital parts.

Her eyes were cold and piercing; she dared not follow him out of the courtyard.

She didn't want her current alluring appearance to be seen by countless people, and she was also afraid of her identity and whereabouts being exposed.

Long Xiangcen transmitted her voice to Li Weiyi: "Brother Zuo Ning, let's end it here today. I won't expose you, and you shouldn't expose me either. Let's pretend nothing happened. Guess how many powerful demons have gathered in Leiling City right now? If you dare to reveal the secret in the courtyard, the final result will definitely be your death, our plan will be ruined, but we can still leave calmly."

Li Weiyi stood up, spear in hand, and scanned his surroundings, spotting figures of martial arts practitioners whose eyes were filled with curiosity.

He knew very well that Long Xiangcen was not exaggerating, because the demon race's attack on Lingxiao City was imminent.

Long Xiangcen seemed to be letting him go. However, as soon as Li Weiyi was out of everyone's sight, the hidden demon clan experts would definitely assassinate him immediately to silence him.

Tuoba Butuo and Qi Xiao appeared nearby and hid in the shadows under the eaves.

To everyone's surprise, Li Weiyi dusted off the dust and complained, "It was just a friendly spar, why did you hit so hard?" Then, carrying his staff and spear, he walked back into the array light screen in the courtyard.

"Wait for me outside the city, towards the ferry crossing."

Li Weiyi's telepathic message reached the ears of Tuoba Butuo and Qi Xiao.

The two quickly put away their magical artifacts and left the Heavenly Pavilion.

Long Xiangcen draped a large white robe over her body, looking like an ethereal fairy, which startled Li Weiyi as she walked in again.

The four demon experts looked at him with suspicion, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"I was just itching to test your strength. I am the fifth divine son of the Rice Sect, Sikong Jingyuan." Li Wei held a spear in one hand and put the other behind his back, ready to take a gamble.

As for Long Xiangcen, he had never met Sikong Jingyuan.

After all, Sikong Jingyuan had spent many years training in the Netherworld of the Dead and was a new generation master of the Rice Cult.

Long Xiangcen was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth and laughed, "You already used the name Sikong Jingyuan on the ship, and you want to use it again? You know that once you leave Tiange, you will die, so you came back to gamble."

Li Weiyi sneered: "Long Xiangcen, you've been famous for twenty years, and this is all the knowledge you have? You don't even recognize my Daojiao Great Technique, the Six Like Burning Karma Technique?"

Long Xiangcen narrowed his eyes, carefully recalling the Burning Karma Millstone he had just used, and a look of sudden realization flashed across his face.

“The thirty people in the coffin were taken from the Divine Prison of my Rice Sect headquarters by Luan Shenglin five days ago,” Li Weiyi said.

A demon cultivator at the fourth level of the Dao Seed Realm, who had previously followed Luan Shenglin to the Rice Sect's headquarters, quickly transmitted his voice through his magical energy to Long Xiangcen's ears.

A strange light appeared in Long Xiangcen's eyes as she re-examined the mysterious man wearing a golden mask before her: "Words are not enough! If you are the Divine Child of the Rice Cult, why are the Rice Cult's martial artists hunting you down?"

"Who doesn't have a few enemies? You're in the demon race, don't you have any rivals?"

Li Weiyi took out the Divine Child Life Token and casually tossed it to her, then looked at the thirty coffins: "You demon race are really amazing! I thought you were going to send Jinling to hide in their human skin. I didn't expect you to find so many experts from the Netherworld of the Dead."

A demon martial artist said in a deep voice, "Is this the real reason why His Highness the Divine Child disguised himself as Lord Longting and came to investigate?"

Long Xiangcen still had traces of Li Weiyi's blood under her fingernails, exactly the same as the blood aura in the Divine Child's Life Tablet, so she no longer had any doubts. She stomped her foot and scolded, "Hmph, how could you be so naughty? I almost killed you! How am I going to explain this to the Rice Ancestor?"

"It's not enough to alarm the Rice Ancestor! I am the son of the Lord of the Withered Glory Palace, and my father will definitely avenge me."

Li Weiyi took the life tablet from Long Xiangcen's hand, grabbed her slender wrist, and used his spiritual light to cleanse the bloodstains from her fingernails: "This divine child has another secret mission. If today's events are leaked, your demon race will be fully responsible."

"If our secret is revealed, Your Highness, you will not be able to bear the consequences."

After making that threatening remark, Long Xiangcen smiled sweetly and said, "The Divine Child is so young, yet his mental cultivation and martial arts skills are both at an extremely high level. I truly admire him. How about we both return to the City Lord's Mansion together?"

"I'm afraid you'll misunderstand, Master Taishi."

Li Weiyi was actually afraid that Luan Shenglinyou and Long Ting would return and discover his identity, so he said, "I have an important mission and have to go to Lingxiao City, so I won't keep you company!"

"By the way, I know your demon race wants to kill me to cover it up. But my companions are already hiding outside the city. If I die here, how will you explain it to the Divine Cult?"

With that, Li Weiyi put the Myriad Things Spear into the ancestral field and strode out of the courtyard.

Long Xiangcen watched his departing figure, her smile fading: "It seems that the Twin Rice Sect is also divided into factions. This person's talent is extraordinary; his mental power and martial arts, when unleashed, are no less than those of an ordinary fifth-level Dao Seed Realm cultivator."

"I'm leaving this place to you. Move out quickly."

……

Li Weiyi immediately left the city, not daring to linger for even a moment longer.

He had enemies all over the Rice Cult and few people he could trust, let alone allies.
If you can do it without anyone noticing, silencing the person is the best way to hide a secret.

After reuniting with Tuoba Butuo and Qi Xiao, the three concealed their auras and quickly entered the mountain, preparing to travel along the Xushan Heavenly Vein to Nanyan Pass.

“Long Xiangcen’s cultivation is at least at the fifth level of the Dao Seed Realm, a figure at the level of the Nine-Handed King. I couldn’t even withstand a single move from her, and I couldn’t test her strength,” Li Weiyi sighed to the two of them.

Qi Xiao was shocked: "The person who knocked you out was actually her. She's mixed up with the demon race?"

"It's more than just mingling together."

Li Weiyi recalled the image of Long Xiangcen riding on Luan Shenglin's young legs and felt sorry for Taishi Bai. If he had the chance, he would definitely remind him of something.

Tuoba Butuo glanced at Li Weiyi with a complicated expression: "What amazes me is that Brother Weiyi already possesses the ability to spar with her."

"The demon race has grand ambitions, and they even cooperate with the Netherworld of the Dead, and this cooperation seems quite deep. Eh, this is..."

Li Weiyi stopped using his movement technique and fell from the treetop to the ground.

Before me stood towering mountains, dense with pine and cypress trees, stretching to the horizon. But suddenly, a vast black desert appeared.

The sand is as fine as dust, and when it is blown by the wind, it produces bright sparks that dance in the valley.

"It's a region of ashes, and there are powerful Ash Spirits nearby!"

Li Weiyi's pupils contracted, and he quickly retreated into the dense forest. It should be understood that the Ash Region is the external manifestation of the Dao Heart of an Ash Spirit expert, burning away all surrounding matter, turning it into dust and sparks.

"Boom!"

A deafening clap of thunder came from the depths of the valley, causing the surrounding peaks to shake.

An avalanche then occurred.

"There are two powerful forces clashing, most likely the Ember Spirit expert and a big shot from the Thunderclap Sect. Tuoba, why did you lead us this way? You didn't lead us into the Thirty-Six Tombs of Thunder, did you?"

The three of them ran as fast as they could, wanting to get away as quickly as possible.
