The Primordial Law

Chapter 350 I am Taishi Bai's friend
Li Weiyi didn't turn around at all, but looked ahead.

Four female officials from the Imperial Palace walked side by side, their official robes displaying numerous array runes that coalesced into a sword formation. Hundreds upon hundreds of sword shadows followed their movements.

All four are top experts who have condensed the Dao Lotus.

Once the formation was complete, its momentum was overwhelming, like a wall of sword energy pressing down, making the streets appear as if they had been slashed and carved by knives and axes.

Li Weiyi let out a ferocious laugh, grabbed a handful of chopsticks from the bamboo tube, and uttered the word "Lin" from the Six Jia Secret Prayer.

"Wow!"

The chopsticks, imbued with spiritual light, scattered outwards.

In the next instant, each chopstick sprouted branches and transformed into a human-shaped bamboo several meters tall, attacking Jiang Ning and the four female officials of the Luantai Palace.

Li Weiyi affixed a speed talisman to his body and rushed towards the alleyway to his left.

"Shh!"

Jiang Ning slashed horizontally with his sword, the sword energy bright, clearing away the chopstick puppets in front of him, turning them all into flying debris.

Seeing that the old man who had transformed into a young man was moving extremely fast, she immediately used her Dao Heart Manifestation, unleashing her inner energy, and white flying feathers enveloped the surrounding streets.

"Shh!"

Thousands of magical energy feathers spun and surged forth, like a long white dragon, instantly catching up to Li Weiyi.

Each piece is like a sharp blade.

From behind Li Wei's head, a crimson-gold spear flew out and blasted the pursuing white dragon apart.

"Zheng!"

The sound of swords rang out shrilly.

Jiang Ning's back was covered in radiant feathers, and he thrust out his sword with lightning speed, causing the surrounding air to boil.

Li Wei dared not use his magical energy; if he did, she would surely discover his identity.

So, holding the staff of all things, he uttered the word "fight" from the Six Jia Secret Incantation.

Spiritual light and flames continuously surged from the spirit realm, condensing into a crimson-gold armor over two meters tall on his body, as if a peerless warrior had possessed him.

Using the "Fight" technique, one can transform mental energy into the strongest fighting attack.

The spear of all things thrust out and collided with the tip of the startled feather sword.

"Boom!"

A large number of houses on both sides of the alley collapsed, and dust billowed, opening up the view.

Fortunately, Jiang Ning had already scared away the people in the nearby houses, so no one was injured.

Jiang Ning was sent flying backward, his sword-wielding arm scalded by the flames. The flames emanating from that spear were extremely terrifying, beyond the capabilities of even the most powerful first-level fire magic.

Li Weiyi took two steps back and fled quickly into the distance.

He was also surprised, not expecting Jiang Ning's combat strength to be so strong.

It should be noted that two years ago, during the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival, her Seventh Sea was not yet complete, and she needed to continue accumulating power in the Seventh Sea, unlike Yang Qingxi, Tuoba Butuo, Long Ting, and others who could directly cultivate the Dragon Cultivation Path.

But two years later, her cultivation level caught up with these inheritor-level geniuses, reaching the fourth level of the Dao Seed Realm.

Subtly, they overtook the former.

Li Weiyi believed that wielding the Staff of All Things and unleashing the Dou-character technique, the power of his attack would be no less than that of a Dao Seed fifth-level inheritor. However, he could only repel her at the fourth level, failing to inflict any effective damage.

They ran two or three miles in an instant, and were about to escape the alley.

At the alley entrance, a handsome young figure stood there. He was dressed in red, looked to be around twenty years old, with clear features and sharp eyes, and appeared to have been waiting for Li Weiyi for a long time.

He said, "Your mental techniques are very interesting, with unusually strong power. I was originally quite interested in you. But since you have injured Ningning, today I can only let your blood splatter here."

Li Weiyi sensed an extremely dangerous aura emanating from this person.

The man in red smiled, showing no intention of making a move, and exhaled a breath of magical energy.

"Swish!"

Within the storm of magical energy, dozens of flying blades of different shapes materialized. Instantly, the buildings on both sides of the alley collapsed and crumbled as if made of tofu, demonstrating astonishing destructive power.

The protective formations of these buildings were utterly ineffective. Countless screams erupted from inside the houses.

"forward!"

Li Weiyi's body was enveloped in the flames of the Golden Crow, flashing violently as he teleported to a height of ten zhang in the air, dodging all the attacks.

Jiang Ning, who was chasing behind, took to the air and created countless clones of herself, like a group of celestial maidens attacking.

The man in red was even faster, arriving above Li Weiyi's head in an instant. He chuckled softly, looking completely at ease, and his palm transformed into a cloud of scriptures, striking down to completely lock onto and envelop Li Weiyi.

Li Weiyi had no more reservations now and directly activated the governor's robe he was wearing underneath: "So Fairy Yu has a lover to help her. I admit defeat. Let's end it here today and fight again another day."

"Wow!"

The moment the scriptures and clouds pressed down, the space trembled violently, and Li Weiyi transformed into a cloud of purple mist and disappeared.

The man in red exclaimed in surprise, "Interesting! I thought your Lingxiao Realm had declined, but I didn't expect that a random Spirit Master would emerge who could cultivate spatial escape techniques."

The man in red released his thoughts. He quickly sensed spatial fluctuations in a bustling area of ​​the city, and transformed into a streak of red light, giving chase.

After a while, the man in red returned to the area that had been reduced to ruins, having gained nothing.

Imperial soldiers scattered throughout the ruins to rescue people, and bodies were dragged out one by one.

Standing beside the ruins, Jiang Ning looked at the devastation and fell into deep thought.

Other martial artists couldn't discern the spatial power just now, but she knew it was erupting from the governor's official robe.

"Could it be a master agent from one of the imperial court's factions in disguise?"

Jiang Ning had no choice but to speculate in this direction, because to utilize the spatial power within the governor's robe, one had to cultivate the Dragon Awakening Technique to an extremely high level.

The Dragon Awakening Technique was only accessible to core members of the imperial court.

The man in red said apologetically, "Ningning, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hurt the innocent. A battle between Dao Seed Realm cultivators broke out in the city, and casualties were hard to avoid. I will compensate the deceased."

"That cult leader is not only proficient in spatial escape techniques, but also has unparalleled skills in disguise and concealment. After escaping, he disappeared into the bustling city in an instant. I was afraid of hurting too many innocent people, so I dared not use my powerful techniques to force him to show himself. I can only deal with him next time."

"Now that I'm on guard, even if he has mastered spatial teleportation techniques, he won't be able to escape."

"I didn't ask you for help! If you really care about the casualties of the people in Lingxiao Shengjing, you should have fought him in close combat just now. With your cultivation, he was no match for you in one move." Jiang Ning turned and left, having no good feelings towards this foreign prodigy who came from Du'e Temple.

"I'll remember that, I'll be more careful next time." The man in red laughed heartily, then went into the ruins to rescue people, trying to salvage his image.

Jiang Qumin brought Zhuang Yue over and said to Jiang Ning, "She was imprinted with a mental mark similar to puppetry by that evil cultist. I have already neutralized it, so it has little impact."

Zhuang Yue hated Li Weiyi to the core, but she also knew that he did this to cover up the truth.

Jiang Ning asked, "Zhuang Yue, what do you still remember?"

Zhuang Yue struggled internally, unsure whether to tell her mistress the truth. In the end, she pretended to be thinking hard and shook her head, saying, "It seems like I'm missing a part of my memory, and my head hurts so much... Miss, am I really being controlled?"

"You should have a good rest first."

Jiang Ning looked at Jiang Qumin: "After this battle, that demon will be like a frightened bird, and I'm afraid he won't stop attacking. Everyone at the stronghold, let's all withdraw!"

"I'll go tell them," Zhuang Yue said quickly as she walked away.

Jiang Ning stared at Zhuang Yue's retreating figure, a thoughtful expression on her face, a strange feeling rising within her. Two years had passed since she left; something must have happened to this maid who had once been by her side day and night.

……

Back at the coffin shop, Li Weiyi bid farewell to Old Man Zhou, asking him to help deliver another secret letter from the Hidden Sect to Shuzhou before heading straight out of the city.

Around noon, Li Weiyi transformed into Zuo Ning and arrived at the city gate. He smiled at the soldiers guarding the city and said, "I am Zuo Ning from Shuzhou, a friend of Taishi Bai, the first rank of the Taishi family. Please inform him of my presence."

The thirty imperial experts deployed by the demon race have likely already entered the city today, and may even be in Yuntian Immortal Plain at this very moment.

Li Weiyi did not place all her hopes on Zhuang Yue, but instead planned to obtain information from Long Xiangcen.

Enter the tiger's den and capture the tiger cub.

Long Xiangcen didn't even know who Sikong Jingyuan was, which showed that the demon faction was unfamiliar with the Rice Cult faction. Even Li Weiyi, the Rice Cult's divine son, knew very little about the demons; everyone was wary of each other.

"Boom!"

Before long, a magnificent carriage rushed towards the city gate, pulled by three white deer. After picking up Li Weiyi, the carriage headed towards the General's Mansion.

inside the car.

Tai Shi Bai was in a great mood and held Li Weiyi's hand tightly: "Brother Zuo Ning, I am really sorry. I must have neglected you at the banquet at the Leiling City Lord's Mansion, so you abandoned me. That's how the court's internal social interactions are. There's a small banquet every three days and a big banquet every ten days. It's all about social niceties and flattery."

Li Weiyi secretly praised Taishi Bai, saying that he was indeed a dragon among men. He was of noble birth but was able to be humble. He not only had great feelings and righteousness in his heart, but also knew how to treat the virtuous with respect.

Li Weiyi said with grief, "I did not leave on purpose. I had long seen that Brother Taishi was a hero of our time and intended to join him. However, in Leiling City, I encountered another day of snow and a night of snow, and my two companions... died at the hands of these evil cultists... If I do not avenge this, I, Zuo Ning, swear I will not be a man... I escaped to Nanyan Pass by the skin of my teeth!"

"They're too arrogant. I'll kill them both sooner or later."

Tai Shi Bai was filled with righteous indignation, then laughed heartily, "I have good news for you: the cult forces in Nanyan Pass have been completely eradicated. Haha!"

The carriage drove straight into the General's Mansion and stopped in the spacious front square. Taishi Bai and Li Weiyi got out of the carriage hand in hand, their laughter never ceasing.

Wearing a veil, Long Xiangcen stood at the entrance of the front hall, dressed in a pale yellow ruyi (a type of traditional Chinese dress) with a light blue hooded velvet robe over it, her tail hidden deep inside. She greeted him with elegance and gentleness: "Cousin, you actually brought Zuo Ning back. I thought you were lying to her."

Li Weiyi bowed respectfully, feigning an inability to look directly at her: "Greetings... May I ask how this fairy is addressed?"

"My surname is Long. Haven't we met before?"

Long Xiangcen smiled, her eyes were clear, and her eyelashes fluttered, like an innocent little girl.

Li Weiyi narrowed her eyes, not believing that she would dare to reveal the secret between the two of them.

Sure enough, Long Xiangcen said again in an instant, "On the post boat! She was hiding behind the curtain at the time, you should remember my voice, right?"

Li Wei deliberately feigned a look of realization.

Tai Shi Bai's expression turned serious: "Brother Zuo Ning has come to join me, so he's one of us! There's nothing to hide. My mother is from Longmen, and my cousin is also from one of Longmen's lineages."

"No force can be entirely good or entirely evil. My mother and I secretly went to the East China Sea to try and save my cousin's family, but unfortunately, only she survived. Alas!"

Li Weiyi offered her condolences, saying, "Please accept my deepest condolences, Fairy Dragon!"

"You have such a sweet tongue! Suddenly I'm not sad at all!" Long Xiangcen's eyes were like two crescent moons as she laughed, "Cousin, have you caught that cultist? This morning, it seemed to be quite a big commotion, even that top genius from abroad made a move!"
