The Primordial Law

Chapter 345 Borrowing Strength
Judging from Jiang Xin's reaction, it can be seen that Yao Qian did not get any useful information from Zhou Bida.

Moreover, the Hidden Lord should not have fallen into Yang Shenjing's hands yet, or been brought back to Nanyan Pass.

As long as Yang Shenjing cannot capture the living Yin Jun, Li Weiyi is fully confident in continuing to implement the next part of the plan. After all, the dead cannot testify.

Ideally, the hidden ruler would be able to escape.

but……

Li Weiyi dared not have too high hopes and had to hurry.

However, the more urgent the situation, the less you should rush.

Seeing that Yao Qingxuan remained silent, Jiang Xin sensed a calm before the storm and knew that the other party was hesitating about whether to kill him or not, weighing the pros and cons.

In a life-or-death situation, dignity, pride, and the demeanor of a strong person must all be temporarily set aside. Only by surviving can the future hold all sorts of possibilities.

On the steps, he acted out a half-serious act: "That Yang Shenjing is a Great Immortal. He came to me personally, and I had no other choice. If I don't submit, he will definitely use the Luantai to get rid of me and then install a Suizong expert to take my place. Please spare me this time, Venerable One. From now on, I will go through fire and water and obey only your orders."

Li Weiyi said, "If it weren't for the imminent attack on Lingxiao City and the importance of your position, I would never have spared your life."

Jiang Xin quickly raised his head, revealing a look of joy.

Li Weiyi continued, "But how can I believe you won't turn around and go see Yao Shaoqing and tell him everything? If they know that the Divine Sect is about to attack Lingxiao City, and that the Divine Sect is already on guard against them, what will they do next?"

Jiang Xin's expression changed: "I'm afraid... I'm afraid the Divine Sect's strongholds and forces in Lingxiao City, the Four Passes, the Eight Core States, and the Southern Territory will be uprooted by the imperial court within a few days."

Li Weiyi said, "So, how can I trust you?"

Jiang Xin said urgently, "I have the Death Spirit Flame planted by the Rice Ancestor within me, I would never dare to betray him..."

“If the Rice Ancestor dies at the hands of the Second Palace Master, this Death Spirit Fire can be easily neutralized. Is that what you all think?” Li Weiyi said.

"Bang! Bang..."

Jiang Xin kowtowed seven or eight times: "Whatever Your Excellency tells me to do, I will do."

Li Wei deliberately pondered for a long time, making Jiang Xin even more uneasy, before throwing out paper and pen from his bag: "Write a letter denouncing them! If you dare to betray the Divine Sect, this letter will naturally fall into Yang Shenjing's hands, and then you will have nowhere to hide between the two sides. You are a smart man, how should you write it? You don't need me to teach you, do you?"

"Rest assured, Your Excellency, I have had many dealings with the Sui Sect and know many of their secrets. If it weren't for my fear of Yang Shenjing's status as the deputy hall master, I would have reported it long ago."

Jiang Xin understood that "Yao Qingxuan" wanted to control his life and death.

If we avoid the important issues and continue with both ends of the spectrum, we are truly courting disaster.

He had to choose between the imperial court and the Twin Rice Cult, and he chose the latter.

Therefore, Jiang Xin, full of sincerity, did not use a pen, but bit his finger and wrote in blood:

"By the Heavenly Venerable of Rice Ancestor, I, Elder Jiang Xin of Fuzhou, respectfully present this letter written in blood."

"Yang Shenjing of Suizong is domineering and tyrannical. After entering Yuntian Immortal Plain for more than a month, he used Luantai as a sharp weapon to leak the secrets of the Divine Sect, resulting in the tragic deaths of dozens of experts in the sect. Under the guise of external coercion, he secretly took over the power of the Divine Sect in Lingxiao City and the four major city gates. The situation in the other states can be seen from this."

"Believe that one's cultivation is too weak, one can only submit and kneel, and has no courage to resist or disobey."

"I have heard that the Second Palace Mistress, Xianmin, bestowed upon Yang Shenjing the Thousand-Year Longevity Pill, intending to cultivate him to transcendence. This old scoundrel Shenjing was originally a retainer, yet he gluttonously devoured the main family of the Jiuli tribe to grow stronger. Now he has become a disciple of Xianmin, and the future of the Sui Sect is bright. With countless sects on the horizon, he will surely devour the Divine Sect to serve his new master."

"Zhou Bida, the deputy commander of Nanyan Pass, originally intended to use all sorts of means to win over the rebels in preparation for an uprising by the Divine Cult, so that they could coordinate with them from within and without. Unexpectedly, the old thief Yang Shenjing and the young thief Yao Qian, in order to please the new master and eliminate dissidents, used him to set a trap, hoping to kill several birds with one stone."

"I see this and I am filled with worry. I am burning with anxiety. If I do not report this soon, the foundation of the Divine Cult in Lingxiao City, the Four Passes, the Eight Core States, and the various strongholds in the Southern Territory will surely be destroyed."

"Today, I will pour out all the cowardly blood in my body to expose the ten major crimes of that old scoundrel in the Divine Realm."

"The first crime was selling disabled rice people to the Japanese pirates on the islands to be used as mounts and food."

"Second crime..."

……

For some reason, after finishing writing, Jiang Xin did not feel the displeasure of being forced. Instead, he felt a sense of exhilaration, as if he had long wanted to report all of this.

Li Weiyi retrieved the blood-written letter and examined it closely. He couldn't help but gasp and glanced at Jiang Xin kneeling below.

This old guy is ruthless enough to save his life!
The words written in blood were written with tears streaming down one's face.

The Ten Crimes were no simple matter; several of them terrified Li Weiyi, who strongly suspected that they were fabricated by Jiang Xin.

For example, the third crime was that Yao Qian, in order to gain the favor and trust of the Second Palace Master, actually involved the deaths of two elders of the Twin Rice Sect.

How could he know such a secret?
Li Weiyi strongly suspected that either Jiang Xin had suffered a loss at Yao Qian's hands, or he harbored resentment towards Yao Qian.

Of course, it could also be a scheme orchestrated by the higher-ups at Inada.

Even if it were true, Li Weiyi could understand. After all, who within the Twin Rice Cult didn't have a mess of problems?
Infiltrating and gaining trust—it's not that easy.

If Yang Shenjing had always acted openly and honestly, he would never have achieved what he has today.

If Li Weiyi were exposed, An Xianjing could kill him simply for hiding Tang Wanzhou.

If the Rice Cult hadn't gone to such extremes of evil and selfishness, it wouldn't have appointed An Xianjing as the head of the Linggu Palace, thus purging the sect from its roots.

It's impossible for everything written in blood to be true. For example, Jiang Xin claimed that he had gone to great lengths to persuade Zhou Bida to defect, which was clearly an attempt to claim credit.

Li Weiyi put away the blood-written letter: "This is the responsibility of an elder! I need to bring back to the Divine Sect where Zhou Bida's family members are being held as irrefutable evidence."

"The Divine Martial Hall, one of the four major gangs in Leiling City, is secretly controlled by the Divine Sect."

The fear in Jiang Xin's eyes dissipated, knowing that his life was saved: "Nanyan Pass is very unsafe now. Do you need me to send the Venerable One out of the city through secret channels?"

Li Weiyi dared not stay with him any longer, and who knew if this old guy had other plans? He couldn't underestimate him: "If I can't even come and go freely in the mere Nanyan Pass, am I worthy of being a Venerable? Get lost!" After parting ways with Jiang Xin, Li Weiyi changed his clothes several times, transforming into a young man who looked like a servant, and headed towards the border between the third-tier city domain and the second-tier city domain.

The entire city was under martial law, and each city area was separated by an array that could not be crossed.

Li Weiyi certainly didn't have the ability to safely leave the city.

But he knew that once Jiang Xin recovered from his shock and regained his ability to think clearly, he might figure out something was wrong, and that would be the real danger.

To save Zhou Bida's family, and to ensure the plan's successful execution...

Jiang Xin must die.

At the border between the two city territories, beneath the veil of array light, stood dozens of soldiers clad in black magical armor. They held long spears, their expressions grim.

Li Weiyi walked into the alley next door.

The alley is deep, and the deeper you go, the quieter it becomes.

Two children, about three or four years old, were playing a game of fighting grass. They sat on the ground, having a great time. Next to them was the open gate of the courtyard.

Li Weiyi used his telekinetic powers to search the courtyard and found no adults.

Li Weiyi smiled kindly and said, "Whose children are you? Why aren't you home? Don't you know it's dangerous outside?"

The two children glanced at him timidly, and seeing that he didn't seem like a bad person, they continued playing the grass-fighting game.

The so-called "grass fighting" is to each pick some grass leaves and see whose is more resilient.

Li Weiyi looked at it with great interest for a while, then squatted down and took out a crimson blade of grass from his bag: "This is the most resilient blade of grass in the world!"

This was a precious herb leaf, clearly extraordinary, which attracted the two children.

One of the children, not to be outdone, challenged Li Weiyi to a grass-fighting contest. But his grass broke more than a dozen blades, while Li Weiyi's blades remained completely undamaged.

He looked like he was about to cry.

Li Weiyi held up a blade of grass and waved it in front of him: "Whoever does me a small favor later, I will give him this invincible Destiny Grass. From now on, he will be the strongest here."

The two children naturally competed with each other.

"I want to choose the one with the most courage; he has to have a real man's spirit. Besides getting the Destiny Grass leaf, this person will also receive another benefit," Li Weiyi said.

……

The city gates of Nanyan Pass were indeed closed, but not everyone was unable to enter or leave.

In the afternoon, the convoy of the General's Mansion entered the city gate. In addition to Taishi Bai riding a strange beast at the front, and several retainers, there were three carriages.

No one dared to question them.

The convoy reached the border between the second and third city domains, just as the array of light was activated.

"Taishi Bai...Brother Bai..."

A three- or four-year-old child, holding a letter, ran towards the convoy, repeatedly calling out Taishi Bai's name.

The soldiers guarding the protective array of light intercepted them with spears.

No one is allowed to get close to the important person.

Tai Shi Bai sternly rebuked, "What kind of ability is it to be mean to a child? If you're so capable, go kill the demon race and conquer the heretical cult."

He leaped off the beast's back, pushed the soldier aside, walked to the stunned child, rubbed his head, squatted down, and said softly with a smile, "Were you scared? How do you know my name? Who sent you?"

The child, recovering from his fright, said with utmost seriousness, "I wasn't scared at all. I'm the most manly person in Nanyan Pass. Are you the Brother Bai that big brother was talking about?"

“If you’re looking for Taishi Bai, then this is me!” Taishi Bai said.

"this is for you."

The child handed him the letter.

Tai Shi Bai had already sensed something was wrong. He looked around for anyone suspicious before opening the envelope, quickly reading it. His expression grew increasingly serious, and finally, his face changed drastically.

He asked urgently, "Where is the person who gave you the letter?"

The child pointed behind him.

By the time the child led Taishi Bai into the alley, Li Weiyi had already left.

"Big brother said that after I deliver the letter, Brother Bai will give me a blade of grass as resilient as the Destiny Grass." The child's eyes were full of anticipation.

"Heavenly Destiny Grass?"

Tai Shi Bai glanced at the grass leaf hidden in the child's arms, then looked at the pile of broken grass on the ground. He immediately understood what kind of trick the other party had used.
After asking about the person's appearance and age.

"This blade of grass of mine is more powerful than the Destiny Grass. Keep it safe, lest other children steal it."

Taishi Bai removed the "silver thorn grass" embroidered on his robe, symbolizing the glory of the Taishi family, and handed it to him. He walked out of the alley and came to the array's light veil, instructing the two soldiers: "For the next period of time, take good care of that child. If anything happens to him, you will be held accountable."

Taishi Bai quickly walked to Long's carriage and handed the letter inside.

Release the outward manifestations of the Dao mind, enveloping the surroundings.
