The Primordial Law

Chapter 381 Attacked, Reunion with Luan Shenglin

Tai Shiyu was dressed in a plain white robe with wide sleeves, light as a cloud, with a silver belt embroidered with phoenixes around his waist. Although his expression was serious, it was far from tense.

Li Weiyi remained calm and observed his surroundings.

"Stop looking, I came alone. If I really wanted to take you, I could do it all by myself." Tai Shiyu stood on the mountain path, by the snow, exuding an aura of power.

Song Lin reminded him, "My Song family has never produced an ungrateful person. Chief Taishi, don't forget the conditions you promised me."

Tai Shiyu nodded slightly: "You may go now. I need to speak with him alone."

Song Lin took his leave, glancing at Li Weiyi one last time before bowing and sighing.

The Song family has strict discipline for those who are destined to inherit the family tradition. On the battlefield, they may resort to deceit and treachery—that's how they deal with the enemy. But in terms of character and conduct, they absolutely cannot stray from the right path, because that would mean being ruthless to themselves and destroying their own heroic spirit.

That's why Song Lin felt extremely guilty, with a sense of remorse for "betraying his promise and betraying kindness."

Tai Shiyu asked, "How should I address you? Zuo Ning? Zhao Meng? The Hermit of the Nine Li Hidden Sect? Or the Fourth Divine Child of the Heretical Cult?"

Li Weiyi remained unaffected by his power: "I admit that I am the recluse of Jiuli. But would the fourth divine son of the heretical cult risk entering the West Sea King's Palace several times to save people? Would the fourth divine son of the heretical cult expose himself for the sake of saving Taishi Bai and breaking the Dao image? Doesn't he know how to stand by and hide? Or is he just a fool?"

Li Weiyi had already told Taishi Bai about her identity as a member of the Jiuli tribe.

In the past month, the magical duel at the West Sea King's 60th birthday banquet, from the Demon Child's great victory over Taishi Yu, Chen Huang, and Cao Shisan, to Li Weiyi's immobilization of Xie Chucai and breaking through two layers of Dao Image Diagram, has already spread throughout the streets and alleys, brothels and teahouses of Lingxiao City.

The spirit of the Fusang Divine Tree and the Golden Crow Flame were discovered by a giant in the Longevity Realm, and the story became legendary, leading to many events from the ancient immortal era.

The fact that Zuo Ning was able to shatter the second level of the Dao Seed Realm with a single spear strike became a major topic of discussion, with everyone agreeing that it was a manifestation of Zuo Ning's martial arts cultivation.

For martial artists in the Lingxiao realm, the praise was boundless, almost to the point of being detrimental.

Such martial arts achievements have led many to think of Li Weiyi at the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival. If Li Weiyi continues to conceal it now, it will only arouse Taishi Yu's suspicion.

As for the claim of a fourth divine son of a cult, it is merely a baseless rumor, and no one can provide any evidence.

Tai Shiyu stared into Li Weiyi's eyes: "Tai Shibai said that the cult in Nanyan Pass was wiped out thanks to you."

"I asked him to keep it a secret, and he just kept it a secret like this? Is there anyone in Lingxiao City who can keep their mouth shut?"

Li Weiyi immediately added, "All the information about the cult at Nanyan Pass was uncovered by Deputy Commander Zhou Bida. I dare not take credit for it. This matter must not be leaked again. The cult is now using a divisive tactic, claiming that I am their divine son and wanting to use the power of the Jiuli tribe to kill me and cleanse their ranks."

"The Nine Li Hidden Sect has dispatched many assassins to search for me throughout Lingxiao City. They all believe that I killed Zhou Bida and the Hidden Lord, and betrayed the Nine Li Clan. In the end, I am just an outsider, and I can't explain myself no matter how hard I try."

"I must find out the truth and clear my name, otherwise... alas, where in this world can I find refuge?"

Tai Shiyu said, "To have survived being trapped in the underground immortal abode for a whole year is indeed very difficult to prove one's innocence."

Li Weiyi's lips moved, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Tai Shiyu, with his keen observation, asked: "What are you hesitating about?"

“There are some secrets I cannot reveal for now. Someone can testify to my innocence, but that person is of extremely high status, and I cannot expose her. I can only tell you that it was that massive earthquake that breached many forbidden zones of the underground immortal abode, which is why we escaped,” Li Weiyi said.

Tai Shiyu was incredibly intelligent: "The person you mentioned with such a noble status, is it Tang Wanzhou? The two of you entered the underground immortal abode together. Xuejian Tangting had already spread the word that Tang Wanzhou's purpose in venturing into the underground immortal abode was to find the headquarters of the evil cult, and for the sake of the world."

"No," Li Weiyi immediately denied.

Tai Shiyu said, "Tang Wanzhou is in Lingxiao City? That's why you don't dare to say it."

"Stop guessing, I'm not telling you anything," Li Weiyi said.

Tai Shiyu is now almost certain that Tang Wanzhou is in Lingxiao City, and that she and Li Weiyi must have some unknown purpose.

He laughed and said, "Did you discover some secret in the underground immortal abode? You can trust me. Whatever your plans are, I can help you, as long as they are against cults."

Li Weiyi said, "Chief, don't be so clever! If you're not here to take my things, then please get out of my way."

Tai Shiyu's smile faded: "Your mental techniques can purify the mind and dispel evil. Your Golden Crow Flame mental power can refine ghost energy, which is the key to solving the ghost infant incident. Song Lin and Song Yulou are simply pedantic, actually keeping this matter a secret for you all this time."

"The ghost baby incident is of great importance. The Taishi family is deeply involved, the court's reputation has been severely damaged, and countless innocent victims have been victimized. You must come with me to the Taichang Temple!"

Li Weiyi frowned: "I was able to save Miss Song because her cultivation level was high enough. I only needed to refine the ghost energy in her body's magical energy. She herself used her magical energy to expel the yin and putrid power from her flesh and blood."

Tai Shiyu said, "I know about Miss Song's situation. But right now, the situation at the Court of Imperial Sacrifices is indeed very troublesome. Everyone is at a loss, and no one knows how far things will develop."

"If this causes turmoil in the court, can we blame the Grand Palace Master?"

“My father will likely be dragged out to take the blame and appease public anger.”

"Li Weiyi, whether you agree or not, I will take you to the Court of Imperial Sacrifices."

"Help me, and my previous promise still stands. I'll at least guarantee you a safe exit from Lingxiao City!"

Li Weiyi looked up to the sky and sighed, "You guys really... I came to Lingxiao City and all this trouble has delayed me. You'll get me killed sooner or later. How could I possibly get involved in such a major case?"

"I won't kill you, I always keep my word. Come on, let's go take care of something else first." Tai Shi Yu laughed loudly, pulled him away, and the estrangement vanished instantly.

Only after Li Weiyi received thirty "apology pills" from Song Lin did he leave the West Sea Prince's Mansion with Taishi Yu.

Outside the Prince's Mansion, the setting sun cast a dim, golden light.

Along both sides of the road, thousands of trees are piled with snow.

Tai Shiyu's chassis is extremely gorgeous and high-profile, made entirely of thousand-year-old blue ice wood, as if it were both wood and ice.

The sculpture depicts a dragon and the rising sun, as large as a house, measuring five or six meters in length and width.

Adorned with a bright pearl, it resembles a full moon hanging on top.

The chariot is pulled by a mythical beast with the bloodline of a Qilin, and the five beasts are arranged in a formation of two in front and three in the back.

With such a magnificent carriage, which woman wouldn't want to take it away? The reputation of Qing Shiyu is well-deserved.

The two entered the car, where a faint fragrance wafted through the air, creating a delightful atmosphere.

Li Weiyi's gaze fell on the inner corner on the right, where Long Xiangcen sat there like a jade sculpture, motionless, quiet and elegant.

A short rune, about an inch long, flickered between his brows, gleaming brightly.

Tai Shiyu sat down opposite Long Xiangcen and said with a smile, "How is my immobilization talisman?"

"With the level of a top-tier nine-star spiritual master, I'm nowhere near her. Can she see and hear?" Li Weiyi asked.

Tai Shiyu said, "I have already decided to kill her."

"Whoosh!"

The vehicle drove out of the workshop.

The driver was one of Taishi Yu's trusted confidants.

Li Weiyi sat down next to Long Xiangcen and smoothed her white tail, which was lying across the seat, to the side. The tail was very long, fluffy, and lush. He was very curious about where the tail was, as he had never seen it before.

He said, "The head of the family finally made a move. How will you explain this to Taishi Bai?" Taishi Yu said, "Originally, I didn't want to make a move. Recently, the Taishi family has been having bad luck and many things have happened. I didn't want to cause a falling out between brothers because of a woman."

"Given your reputation, if Taishi Bai knew that you had captured and immobilized Long Xiangcen, he would definitely fight you to the death," Li Weiyi said with a smile. Then he added, "Knowing the consequences, why did you still take action?"

Tai Shi Yu said, "Because this woman has broken through to the sixth level of the Dao Seed Realm! In the past, Tai Shi Bai could suppress her in terms of realm and keep an eye on her. Now, if I weren't in the Ancestral Mansion, I'm afraid the Ancestral Mansion would be her domain. She comes from the demon race faction, you should understand my concerns."

Li Weiyi nodded in deep agreement: "What do you plan to do with her? Just throw her out of Lingxiao City? Aren't you afraid she'll come back?"

If Long Xiangcen is Taishi Bai's weakness,
Taishi Yu's weakness is Taishi Bai.

Tai Shiyu ultimately valued brotherhood and dared not kill her, fearing that if things came to light later, there would be no room for maneuver. He said, "Throwing her out is a warning. If she comes back, I'll be certain she has ulterior motives, and when that happens, even if the Heavenly King himself comes, I'll kill her."

"Your car is too extravagant. With Long Xiangcen missing, Tai Shibai only needs to check the city records to suspect you. Why don't you let me handle this? It'll still cost twenty Starry Night Pills."

Li Weiyi wanted to interrogate Long Xiangcen to obtain information.

Tai Shiyu secretly wondered if Li Weiyi's eagerness was a pretext to slip away.

Suddenly.

The vehicle came to a sudden stop.

Outside the carriage, the Taishi family expert driving the vehicle let out a low, mournful groan.

Tai Shiyu and Li Weiyi's expressions changed drastically, and their brows lit up simultaneously as they released a field of mental energy.

Aura protects the body, and the nervous system of heaven and earth intertwines.

"The entire surrounding city area, spanning a hundred zhang, is shrouded in the darkness of the spirit realm, filled with eerie mist, isolating it from the outside world. What a grand scheme! It's definitely for this bastard. There's a defensive formation inside the carriage; don't go out yet."

Tai Shiyu, possessing profound cultivation, was fearless and undaunted in Lingxiao City. With a swift movement, he burst out of the carriage and stood directly in front of the five strange beasts. His body shone with brilliant spiritual light, his aura soaring to the heavens, and his presence was overwhelmingly powerful.

Li Weiyi sat inside the car and immediately pressed his palm against the side of the compartment, infusing it with spiritual light.

"Wow!"

Dense array patterns appeared on the walls of the chamber, connecting the dragon image and the rising sun image.

Through the fluttering curtain in front of him, Li Weiyi saw...

The Taishi family expert driving the carriage lay slumped on the seat, a bloody hole between his eyebrows. All five strange beasts lay prostrate on the ground, trembling, unable to move an inch.

It was afternoon, and we had just left Qingyunfang.

But outside, the streets were silent and dark.

A dark mist billowed out from the darkness, flowing along the ground. The wisps of mist, like intelligent tentacles, tried to surge into the car door, but were blocked by the glowing runes.

"Where did this monster come from, daring to ambush the Taishi family's leader in Lingxiao City? How many lives do you have, to squander like this?"

Tai Shiyu stood proudly, vigilant in all directions.

He summoned the blue crystal staff and slammed it heavily into the ground.

"boom!"

A burst of light spread out from beneath his feet, clashing with the dark mist like a splashing blue wave, rapidly surging in all directions.

The power of this strike would cause a strong tremor within a ten-mile radius.

However, the spiritual light, after spreading a hundred feet away, seemed to have touched something and instantly surged back. The entire world trembled violently, the air boiled, tearing everything around it apart, and the power fluctuations could not be transmitted outwards.

"Bang! Bang..."

The five strange beasts, along with the corpses of the Taishi family experts who were driving the chariot, all exploded into blood mist and skeletons.

From the darkness, a cold, calm voice rang out: "This black curtain was crafted using the spirit realm of a Holy Spirit King, isolating it from the outside world. Taishi Yu, with your cultivation level, you cannot break through it!"

Luan Shenglin emerged from the darkness, his silver hair flowing like water, handsome and elegant, wearing a silver mask and a robe as dazzling as a sea of ​​stars. The robe was a priceless treasure, its starlight illuminating the entire dark world.

"Wow!"

Two ghostly figures emerged from behind him.

One sprinkles paper money, the other holds up a yin banner.

The two were dressed in ancient and magnificent robes made of magical artifacts. Half of their bodies were decayed, and golden bones could be seen through the rotten parts. Their flesh and blood were scattered with four-colored celestial light.

This is enough to show that the two of them cultivated longevity bodies during their lifetime.

While alive, they were mostly giants of the Longevity Realm.

The corpses of immortal beings, transformed into spirits, naturally possess terrifying combat power.

The fact that Luan Shenglin dared to show himself indicates that he was confident of a swift victory and the killing of them.

“It is a phoenix giving birth to a unicorn.”

Li Weiyi shouted a reminder, looked at Long Xiangcen, grabbed her with his hand, and took her hostage.

Almost the instant Li Weiyi shouted, the spirit who had been scattering paper money showed a stiff smile on its face and disappeared along with the scattered paper money.

Tai Shiyu immediately became alert and condensed an array, with array seals appearing around him.

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

……

The paper money on the ground was eerily melting.

This caused the streets and ground to turn into a yellow liquid, like murky Yellow Springs water.

Two hands emerged from the liquid substance beneath the surface, grabbed Tai Shiyu's legs, and violently pulled him into the water. Immediately afterward, the liquid substance vanished, and the ground returned to its smooth state.

Everything happens in the blink of an eye!

Luan Shenglin took a step forward, his footsteps loud and clear, and met Li Weiyi's gaze inside the car.

The spirit holding the Yin Banner followed closely behind him, its imposing presence carrying the pressure of a giant in the Longevity Realm, like a divine mountain moving towards him.

“Old Luan, if you go any further, I promise I will kill Long Xiangcen. You know I mean what I say.”

Li Wei pressed one hand against the wall of the room, and with the other hand, he grabbed Long Xiangcen's slender neck and pressed her to the ground.

With just a twist, her head could be removed.

Luan Shenglin didn't stop: "You think I came here for her?"
