The Primordial Law

Chapter 416 Farewell Banquet
At noon, almost all the hermits and hermit elders gathered at the Chaoran Mansion near Danyuefang.

Inside the council hall, Li Weiyi and Yao Qingxuan sat side by side, quickly reviewing the newly submitted information. Yin Er stood beside them, copying down the lists and ledgers sent by Zuoqiu Menting.

The old man wandered around the outskirts of the Chaoran Mansion, checking to see if anyone was following the hidden man. He had to eliminate all potential dangers.

The old man who was cooking meals kept his eyes on the gnomon outside and quickly entered the hall: "It's noon, only the twelfth elder and the junior elder have not arrived yet."

The Twelfth Elder is the old gatekeeper who guards the Nine Li Insect Valley.

The young elder is Xingyue Nu, a disciple of the Third Palace Master.

Li Weiyi raised his head: "Yesterday, the battle report from the Western Frontier reached the city, and now all the government offices in Lingxiao City are in chaos. It's difficult for the Junior Elder to get away. Let's ignore those two for now and call everyone in."

Including Elder Zhuo, the Hermit and Elder Hermit entered the hall.

Including Li Weiyi and Yao Qingxuan, there are a total of twenty-one people.

Li Weiyi sat at the head of the long table, his gaze sweeping over everyone: "During this time, everyone has been in extreme danger. Three Hidden Elders and Hidden People have died, and four are missing. Today, it's all over. Take your people and leave Lingxiao City in batches before nightfall, returning to Lizhou."

"Leaving Lingxiao City does not mean you are safe."

"Tomorrow, war will likely break out throughout the entire Lingxiao Realm. Fuzhou will be the most dangerous, so you can choose to detour through the eastern border."

The hidden masters present were all exceptionally intelligent and immediately knew what was about to happen.

Shi Jiuzhai asked, "If everyone leaves, who will stay behind to do the final tasks?"

The final thing, of course, was to ignite the war.

The method to ignite the war was to send all the information Yao Qingxuan had gathered, along with information found by the Jiuli tribe and Zuoqiu sect, including information on cult strongholds, infiltrators, bribed individuals, court officials who had defected to the Demon Kingdom, hidden spirits, and the fact that Suizong was a member of the Rice Cult, to the various government offices of the court at the same time, forcing the court to take action.

Li Weiyi considered sending the message only to one of the government offices to ensure sufficient secrecy.

but.

First, it is impossible to deal with so many enemies in the shortest amount of time by relying on only one government office.

Secondly, if we only send one government office, what if that government office has already been controlled by the enemy?
Third, if other government offices in Lingxiao City are unaware of this, they may try to obstruct the operation, and with all parties holding them back, the task will ultimately fail.

Making the information public is a strategy that comes after compromise.

Once the imperial court begins a city-wide search, attack, and capture operation, the enemies within the city have no choice but to act immediately.

Otherwise, once the imperial court has pacified the city, Lingxiao City will no longer be riddled with holes. For them to breach the city again would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Sending intelligence to various government offices may seem like a small, simple task, but in reality, it is extremely complex.

Yin Yi said, "This last step is the most crucial. First, the enemy is everywhere in the city, so we must not leak the information beforehand and give them time to react. Once we've all left, who should we entrust with delivering the message to ensure it won't be leaked prematurely?"

Yao Qingxuan said, "For such a big matter, someone must step forward immediately to take charge of the overall situation so that the court doesn't fall into chaos and all the government offices can act quickly. So, without the Junior Elder, who can deliver the information to the Third Palace Master immediately? Right now, the Third Palace Master is in charge of the overall situation in Lingxiao City."

An elder said, "To protect the Cloud Heaven Immortal Plain, the most important thing is to ensure that the Immortal Plain Grand Array, the City Guardian Array, the Nine Heavens Cloud Outer Array, and the Thirty-Six Earth Vein Nets underground are not destroyed. This matter must be done before the intelligence is sent. Hidden Elder, are you planning to act first thing tomorrow morning? That's too hasty; we are not ready yet."

Li Weiyi said, "If we are not ready, the enemy is even less ready. I will stay behind to make final arrangements. Please trust me."

"Why should you stay? I want to take advantage of the court's opportunity to deal with the Suizong to kill Yao Qian, so the one who stays must be me." Yao Qingxuan's gaze was firm, and magical energy flowed from his fingertips. He was preparing to immediately subdue Li Weiyi and have the hidden people take him away.

Li Weiyi glanced at her fingers: "Elder Yao, I am the one who is hidden, and according to the rules of the Hidden Sect, you must listen to me. Besides, Elder Yao, do you know what my backup plan is? What I can solve, you cannot!"

At this moment, Yin Er rushed over to report: "A wedding carriage has arrived outside."

All eyes in the hall fell on Li Weiyi.

Li Weiyi stood up and walked outside: "The person who can solve all your worries has arrived!"

"Wow!"

The old man opened the gate of the Chaoran Mansion, and a crack two zhang wide appeared in the array of light.

The car was not luxurious.

The carriage was pulled by a strange beast; it was red and tied with red ribbons.

All the hermits came out and stood in various places in the courtyard.

The driver was wearing a straw hat. He looked up and saw that the person standing inside to greet him was none other than Li Weiyi, and an expression of disbelief immediately appeared in his eyes.

It was none other than Taishi Bai.

No one else followed behind the car.

Taishi Bai was instructed by his second uncle, Taishi Qingshi, to send a clanswoman to be engaged. He was extremely unwilling, feeling that the people of the three western states were being ravaged by the demon race, the country was in crisis, and the world was in turmoil, so what was the point of getting engaged?

Tai Shi Bai jumped off the carriage, took off his straw hat, and scanned the martial arts masters in the courtyard before finally fixing his gaze on Li Weiyi: "Who's engaged? Are you engaged?"

"It's not an engagement, it's a wedding," Li Weiyi said with a smile.

Tai Shi Bai couldn't stand it: "Marriage? Marry a woman from my Tai Shi family? What about Zuo Qiu Hong Ting? What about Jiang Ning? Li Weiyi, you... oh dear, what exactly are you and my second uncle plotting?"

Li Weiyi realized that the person Chan Hai Guan Wu trusted most was probably Sima Qian.

"Yin Er, immediately set out the dishes and wine, both for my wedding and for the farewell of my brothers."

Li Weiyi took a completed intelligence report from Shi Jiuzhai and handed it to Taishi Bai: "This is why your second uncle sent you here! Take this back. The success of tomorrow's operation depends entirely on your Taishi family and the city defense battalion." Taishi Bai took it and quickly examined it, flipping through it faster and faster, becoming increasingly alarmed. His face turned deathly pale, and finally, his hands trembled: "Yang Shenjing of the Sui Sect is the deputy hall master of the heretical Tianxia Hall?"

Yao Qingxuan and Elder Zhuo stared at the wedding carriage. As martial cultivators at the Longevity Realm, their souls and senses were powerful, and they detected an unusual aura inside the carriage.

Tai Shi Bai stared intently at Li Weiyi: "How could so many cult members and undead masters be hiding in Lingxiao City?"

The Taishi family actually knew more about the court officials who had sided with the Demon Kingdom than the Jiuli tribe and the Zuoqiu clan. Therefore, Taishi Bai was more surprised by the cult and the departed spirits.

Li Weiyi patted him heavily on the shoulder: "Tomorrow will be a life-or-death battle, which may very well determine the survival of the court and the life and death of the human race. The Grand Historian sent you here to discuss cooperation with me, finalize the specific plan, and coordinate our efforts."

Taishi Bai was no ordinary person after all, and he quickly calmed down.

Half an hour later.

Taishi Bai fully understood what was going on. His heart felt as heavy as lead, and he wished he could sprout wings and fly back to the Taishi family immediately.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Li Weiyi stopped Taishi Bai, who was eager to leave, and said, "We don't know if we'll ever meet again after this farewell. You should at least have a drink at my wedding before you go."

"Isn't this just a cover-up? Are you really going to marry a woman from the Taishi family?" Taishi Bai asked.

Li Weiyi walked towards the bridal carriage and asked telepathically, "Zen Mist, have you taken out the governor's robe and seal?"

"The imperial treasury has a total of 146 sets, and six sets were reserved for the Jiuli Hidden Sect."

A slender, delicate hand lifted the carriage curtain.

Her hands were flawless, with slender, boneless fingers, as if sculpted from celestial jade. These hands alone were more captivating than the faces of many women with celestial bodies.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chan Hai Guan Wu, dressed in red and wearing a veil, stepped out of the car.

Li Ling became one with him and used a disguise technique.

Despite having no imposing aura, the martial arts masters present felt as if their souls were being attacked when they met her gaze, and involuntarily lowered their heads.

When they came to their senses, they all gasped in shock, realizing that this mysterious lady was probably no ordinary person.

Is she really the reclusive lady?

No one believes it.

Tai Shi Bai was filled with doubts, but he was certain that among the women of the Tai Shi family, there could never be one so stunningly beautiful.

Who is she?
Zen Sea Mist took out six sets of governor's robes and official seals and handed them to Li Weiyi.

Li Weiyi had a strange feeling about receiving a dowry, so she gave one set of the dowry to Taishi Bai.

Tai Shi Bai will definitely not leave Lingxiao City. Having the official robes of a governor will greatly enhance his ability to protect himself.

Li Weiyi could watch Taishi Bai go to the battlefield and support him with the best armor and weapons. But as for Jiang Ning, Li Weiyi only wanted to take her away from the battlefield by any means necessary.

The former's romance is unconditional support.

The latter's romance is unconditional protection.

Similarly, the friendship between men is always different from the friendship between men and women.

Li Weiyi gave the other two sets to Zhuo Lao and Yao Qingxuan.

They are martial artists at the Longevity Realm, capable of wielding the power of the governor's robes and seal.

It's important to understand that a thousand years ago, only those with extraordinary longevity could be qualified to possess this treasure. Only those of transcendental status could fully unleash the power of the governor's robes and seal.

The remaining three sets are difficult to divide.

Since ancient times, the problem has not been scarcity, but inequality.

The three men, filled with doubt, released their magical energy, activating their official robes and seals.

next moment.

The three of them were all shocked, their eyes flashing with a sharp light as they stared intently at the woman in red standing next to Li Weiyi.

Tai Shi Bai said, "How is this possible? The governor's official robes and seals have been dormant for a thousand years. I haven't cultivated the Dragon Awakening Technique, so why can I activate them? I can utilize the spatial power, speed, and dragon soul power of the official robes?"

"With this attire, it wouldn't be so easy for an ordinary transcendent being to kill me." As a Great Immortal, Elder Zhuo said this, looking at Zen Sea Observation Mist with great respect.

Zen Sea Mist walked up to Yao Qingxuan: "Give me the Ghost Flag! Even with the spatial power of the Governor's robe, Dao Zu cannot cross the vast distance to activate the Death Spirit Fire within you."

Yao Qingxuan took out the Ghost Flag and handed it over. The other party's aura was so strong that she even suspected that it was the return of the Mist Emperor.

"Alright, let's go! The wine is ready. Let's have a toast to our reunion in Lizhou. In this battle, everyone must survive." Li Weiyi pulled Taishi Bai along and walked towards the inner hall.

Zen Sea Observer followed behind at a leisurely pace.
