The Primordial Law

Chapter 356 The Crisis of the Taishi Family

Li Wei thought of Li Ling at the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival. If she could refine a large number of talismans in advance and control the rain of talismans, her combat power could indeed be raised to a terrifying level.

The nine characters of the Six Jia Secret Blessing on the Yellow Dragon Sword can clearly be integrated with talismans.

Currently, he has only successfully combined the secret text of the character "行" with the "神行符" (divine movement talisman), greatly increasing the power of the divine movement talisman.

What about the other eight secret texts?
Li Weiyi didn't spend much time on talismans, only mastering a limited number of them. He thought to himself, "Of the few I know, the immobilization talisman is the most useful in battle."

"With my current mental power, if I could incorporate the words on the secret incantation into it, its power would be considerable."

"The materials for making talismans must be purchased from transcendent hides and the blood of ancient immortal beasts, otherwise they will be instantly shattered by a master."

Li Weiyi and Tang Wanzhou returned to the Blood Mud Space, walking side by side. One was a mortal, the other a pure immortal. She was a woman, and very beautiful, as well as a frank, bold, confident, and proud person.

Her demeanor made people believe that they would never have to worry about her betraying her friends or killing them to steal their treasures.

After listening to Li Weiyi's account of the current situation.

Tang Wanzhou pondered for a moment, his eyes regaining their wisdom and profundity: "Lingxiao City cannot be lost, at least not now. I will fight this battle. Your cultivation is far from sufficient. Just follow my orders. It is impossible for the evil cult to be without a Longevity Realm expert in Lingxiao City."

Li Weiyi said, "Now that you've shown yourself, all my previous efforts will have been in vain. The main altar will definitely suspect that I was the one who helped you escape. I think we should frame the Sui Sect for this, saying that it was the Sui Sect faction that rescued you from the main altar. Only by stirring up internal strife within the Rice Sect can we have a chance to win."

"Moreover, your current condition is unstable, and your reaction to the outside world is very slow. I will investigate, and you will be under my command... Hmm, please lend me a hand at this critical moment, Young Master."

Tang Wanzhou did not insist any further and took out a token: "With this token, as if I were here in person, you can mobilize all the hidden agents of Xuejian Tangting in Lingxiao City."

Li Weiyi accepted the gift, and with the help of a powerful figure in the Longevity Realm, his confidence greatly increased. Just as he was about to leave, his eyes suddenly darted around.

"Wow!"

The Burning Karma Millstone was unleashed, combining mental power and martial arts, and unexpectedly blasted towards Tang Wanzhou, who was preparing to meditate and cultivate.

Tang Wanzhou formed a sword-like finger and swung his arm to knock him back: "That attack... it's getting pretty good!"

……

Li Weiyi withdrew from the blood mud space, stepped out of the room, and found it was a bright sunny day. He couldn't help but stretch and instructed the maid to prepare a meal.

I cultivated for three days inside the Cocoon of Time.

It took another three days to break through the barrier at Tanggu Sea.

Six days have passed outside.

The actual training lasted eighteen days, and my stomach was completely empty; I was quite hungry.

"With my current cultivation level as a five-star Spirit Master, the Time Cocoon can definitely be maintained for a longer period of time."

"My martial arts cultivation is still not strong enough. I need to help the dragon seed give birth as soon as possible. It took half a year for the phoenix to give birth to a unicorn and go from the second to the third level. With the help of the Time Cocoon, I wonder if I can succeed in a month?"

Li Weiyi ate her food while pondering.

I still think that crafting talismans and buying millennium-old herbs to raise insects are the fastest ways to improve combat power in the near future.

During his seclusion, Qi Feng did not disturb him. After inquiring, he learned that Long Xiangcen had not left the General's Mansion for the past six days.

However, I learned from the two maids that Taishi Bai had come twice and knew that he was in seclusion, so I did not disturb him.

After the meal, Li Weiyi went to visit the General's Mansion.

Upon seeing him, Taishi Bai laughed from afar, "Zuo Ning, if you don't come out of seclusion, I will definitely knock on your door tonight."

"What crime has the gate committed that has provoked Brother Taishi to make such a fuss?" Li Weiyi asked.

"We must set off for Lingxiao City tomorrow... Come on, Mother wants to see you." Tai Shi Bai heard the voice of the Dragon Clan transmitted through magical energy.

Li Weiyi followed Taishi Bai through the courtyard of the General's Mansion, where every step revealed a new scene. Wherever they passed, maids and servants stepped aside and knelt to pay their respects.

Taishi Bai's expression was solemn: "Something has happened at the Court of Imperial Sacrifices! We were able to keep it under wraps before to avoid leaks and panic. But in the last few days, the news has inexplicably leaked out and spread throughout all the neighborhoods of Lingxiao City."

The Court of Imperial Sacrifices was responsible for sacrifices, divination, rites and music, ancestral temples, imperial mausoleums, supervising the Imperial Medical Academy, and managing the Music Bureau. It was an extremely important government office.

the most important is.

More than a decade ago, Yu Yaozi found the Zimu Spring from who-knows-where, and it was guarded and managed by the Taichang Temple.

Li Weiyi feigned ignorance and asked, "What happened at the Court of Imperial Sacrifices? What does it have to do with us?"

"Taishi Qingshi, the Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, is the third most important figure in the Taishi family after our ancestor and my father. I have to call him Second Uncle. If something happens to him, the entire Taishi family will be doomed. As for the strange things that have happened, I can't explain them to you in a short time. When you arrive, be careful. My mother sent people to Shuzhou to investigate you."

Tai Shi Bai gave this reminder, then stepped inside, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Mother, Zuo Ning has arrived!"

Li Weiyi glanced at the figure in palace attire behind the plum and bamboo screen, then bowed and said, "Zuo Ning greets Madam."

"Zuo Ning, how dare you! Do you know what the consequences will be for going against the imperial court?"

Long Shi's voice was cold and stern as he rebuked, releasing a powerful surge of energy that permeated the entire courtyard.

Li Weiyi felt as if thunder had struck his ears. He bent his waist even lower, looked at the ground, and said in fear, "Zuo Ning dares not oppose the imperial court."

He remained calm and unperturbed.

If the Long family truly wanted to punish him, they wouldn't have waited for him to come to the General's Mansion to summon him; they would have already dispatched troops to arrest him. "You've been in the rebel army for five years, and you still dare to say you haven't opposed the court?" the Long family said.

Beads of sweat streamed down Li Weiyi's forehead; he was terrified and explained in a trembling voice, "I...I was forced into this situation...Now it's time to abandon darkness and embrace the light!"

"You've abandoned darkness for light? You couldn't stay in the Earth Wolf King's army any longer, could you?"

With a whoosh, the Long family threw the investigation results sent back from Shuzhou over the screen.

Taishi Bai picked it up, and after reading it, he showed a surprised expression.

Li Weiyi glanced at the contents and immediately cursed Shi Jiuzhai and Shi Liuyu ten times in his heart. Asking these Dharma Kings for favors was truly unreliable; they had ruined his good reputation.

The paper stated that Zuo Ning had joined the Earth Wolf King's army, was highly regarded by the Six Desires Dharma King, served as his advisor, and stayed in the army for five years.

Three months ago, I escaped from the Wolf King's army.

The reason was that Shi Wuyan had taken a liking to him and wanted to take him as a male concubine.

Tai Shi Bai laughed loudly: "I've long heard that Shi Wuyan is fond of men, but I never expected that you, Zuo Ning, would have such charm."

Li Weiyi snatched the secret letter, tore it to shreds immediately, and cried, "Don't ever mention this again, or my reputation will be ruined."

Behind the screen, Madam Long said, "You come from the Wolf King Army. Once the Luantai finds out your background, the General's Mansion will definitely be implicated."

Taishi Bai immediately pleaded, "Zuo Ning is merely a staff member, and he was mostly coerced by Shi Liuyu. On the post ship, he risked exposing his strength to save people, which shows his kind nature. I am willing to vouch for him, and I beg Mother to show leniency."

One sings the red face, the other sings the white face.

The Long family only wanted to help Taishi Bai and bring Zuo Ning under their command.

Li Weiyi understood the situation clearly, so he remained silent and waited for her decision.

Tai Shi Bai said, "In chaotic times, ability is the most important factor when employing people. It just so happens that the Tai Shi family is facing disaster and is summoning spiritual masters from within the clan. Zuo Ning might be able to help."

After a moment of silence, Long sighed and withdrew her magical energy and intention: "If I insist on sending him to the Luantai for trial after you pleaded for him like this, you will surely resent me. Zuo Ning, remember this favor the young master has done for you!"

"Zuo is willing to die for you, young master," Li Weiyi said resolutely.

……

The next day, before dawn.

Outside the General's Mansion, a large contingent of people and horses gathered, including seven gilded carriages and dozens of exotic beast mounts.

All Spiritual Masters boarded the carriages, some in groups of four and some in groups of six. They had to enter the city secretly without making a sound. Retainers at the Dao Seed Realm rode exotic beasts.

The fact that the General's Mansion could gather so many powerful figures in such a short time demonstrates its formidable strength.

Li Weiyi spotted Long Xiangcen. She wore a veil and a blue robe, riding with several female spirit masters. As she boarded the carriage, she gave Li Weiyi a cold glance, then silently opened her mouth, saying something unintelligible.

"Zuo Ning, come with me!"

On the first train, Tai Shi Bai's voice rang out.

Li Weiyi boarded the vehicle, which was spacious, measuring 12 feet square, with a fixed table and a white animal fur carpet.

On the table was a bronze incense burner.

Wisps of smoke rose.

After the convoy set off, Tai Shi Bai said with a serious expression: "Last night, an urgent military report was sent back to Nanyan Pass. The barbarian lords from the three islands in the East China Sea and the remnants of Longmen have actually launched a counterattack on the eastern border."

Li Weiyi said, "The Eastern Territory is guarded by the Leixiao Sect and the army led by the Duke of Donghai, one of the seven transcendent beings of the imperial court. They can forget about succeeding."

Tai Shi Bai's brows furrowed with worry: "In the western border, the demon army has amassed its largest force in two years. If the Zhu family is destroyed, the western gate of the imperial court will be wide open."

Li Weiyi said, "The Western Sea Slaves led by the King of the Western Sea are the most elite army of the imperial court. The western border will not be so easy to conquer."

Tai Shi Bai said, "Liangzhou is one of the eight core prefectures of the imperial court, located at the foot of Yuntian Immortal Plain. However, not long ago, the demon race broke into the prefecture city, causing tremendous destruction and heavy casualties. Zuo Ning, it has been two years, and the demon race has gradually recovered from its injuries and begun to counterattack! Just wait and see, the next storm will definitely be in the western region."

Li Weiyi understands the truth and knows that the demon race is leading the imperial experts to the East Sea and the Western Border to create chaos, confuse the public, and hide their true purpose.

But I didn't dare say it out loud.

If the demon race knew that news of the attack on Lingxiao City had been leaked, they might very well take the western border first.

As a friend, Li Weiyi wanted to remind him that the Taishi family was now in the most danger.

The Taishi family controls half of the defensive formations of Yuntian Immortal Plain, Lingxiao City, and the four major passes. The Rice Cult and the Demon Clan must have already begun their operations against them.

Outside, the rhythmic sounds of hooves and wheels filled the air.

Li Weiyi knew full well that the journey to Lingxiao City would be fraught with danger. Having willingly jumped into the eye of the storm, he was deeply troubled, his mind racing with conflicting thoughts. He muttered to himself, "Only three days remain until the first day of the twelfth lunar month. I wonder if all the hermits from the Hidden Sect have entered Lingxiao City. So many days have passed; has Tuoba managed to send the blood letter back to the main altar? If he hasn't…"

Li Weiyi wasn't very confident, so he could only prepare for the worst.

at this time.

A large number of people from the Rice Sect's main altar, the Hall of Withering and Glory, and the Hall of Heavenly Principles surrounded the Southern Qing Palace. Several hall masters personally arrived, acting as if they were there to interrogate the intruders, and directly used magical artifacts to break through the formation and enter.
