The Primordial Law

Chapter 472 Li Weiyi and Yao Yin are assassinated

Another half month has passed.

Finally, some movement came from outside the room.

Li Weiyi immediately exited the Blood Mud Space, opened the wooden door, and stood outside, wearing a veil.

She exclaimed, "Something's happened!"

The blinding sunlight streamed through the door, making Li Weiyi squint. Her body felt warm, accompanied by a sea breeze.

Li Weiyi knew that Yao Qingxuan wouldn't disturb his seclusion unless something major happened, so he immediately became nervous: "What's wrong? What happened?"

“This morning, Li Weiyi and Yao Yin were visiting the mirage when they were assassinated,” Yao Qingxuan said.

"Who? Li Weiyi?"

Li Weiyi was stunned for a moment, but quickly understood what was going on.

Yao Yin must be protected by powerful figures from the Jiuli tribe and the Du'e Temple; ordinary disguise techniques cannot fool them.

It's highly likely that his fiancée is behind it all.

Li Weiyi frowned: "Was the fake Li Weiyi injured?"

"Why are you worried about him? Aren't you worried that Yao Yin will be deceived?" Recently, Yao Qingxuan has been very different from before, and there is a clear change in his emotions.

Unlike before, when the sky collapsed before us, there was no reaction, only calm and indifference.

Clearly, when you have people and things you care about, you'll be pulled back into the mundane world, making it hard to remain detached.

Li Weiyi said, "The fake Li Weiyi should be Zuoqiu Hongting."

"At first, Hidden Lord thought so too. But after the assassination, the fake Li Weiyi displayed extraordinary telekinetic skills, and his spiritual light was also of the fire attribute, which allowed him to capture the assassin instead."

Yao Qingxuan continued, "So, the Hidden Lord sent Hidden Eleven to deliver a message in order to confirm whether you had left seclusion ahead of schedule."

Li Weiyi knew that Zuoqiu Hongting must have cultivated mental power.

After all, her ancient lamp was stored in the spiritual realm of her brow.

But she had never displayed any mental power, not even during the most critical moment of the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival. For a moment, Li Weiyi began to have doubts, and a sense of unease arose in her heart.

There are countless profound laws and methods in the world. It is not surprising that there are also highly skilled individuals who are proficient in the art of disguise.

If someone were to disguise themselves as him and swindle money and sexually assault him, that would be unacceptable.
Li Weiyi quickly asked, "Where are they now? Who is the assassin?"

"After being captured, the assassin summoned the deathly fire within his body and died; he was a suicide assassin." Yao Qingxuan led Li Weiyi to the front yard and looked at Yin Shiyi standing under the shade of a tree: "Ask him for details!"

Yin Shiyi looked over, sizing up Li Weiyi, and rubbed his eyes: "I'm not seeing things, am I? Hidden Man, didn't you go to the Generals' Banquet with Yaoyin?"

"A banquet?"

……

A wraith beast carriage departed from the hidden gate stronghold.

Yin Shiyi sat outside the carriage, holding the Soul Whip, and drove towards the Tianya Ship, which was moored by the sea near Xuejian Tangting.

Li Weiyi sat in the car, transforming his appearance and donning a black martial arts robe. He listened as Yin Shiyi recounted how the fake Li Weiyi appeared and the moves he used.

Yu'er was also sitting in the car; Li Weiyi had promised not to abandon her again.

“He knows you very well. He knows your tone of voice, your eyes, your habits, and even your past very well. What’s even more unbelievable is that he is also proficient in immobilization talismans, and the psychic energy he cultivates is very similar to yours,” Yin Shiyi said.

Li Weiyi looked confused; it seemed like someone she knew had committed the crime!
If the fake Li Weiyi really knew him that well, then there would be no flaws, and Tang Wanzhou would probably be fooled if he went to the banquet.

Li Weiyi said, "Let's go to Zuoqiu Gate first."

Within the Time Cocoon, a month and a half of cultivation equates to seven or eight days in the outside world.

In the courtyard where martial arts practitioners of Zuoqiu Sect gathered, Yin Shiyi contacted Qi Xiao and brought him to Li Weiyi's car.

Qi Xiao wasn't too surprised and asked, "I've heard about the assassination attempt earlier. Which side was so blind as to attack you?"

He clearly didn't know that the person assassinated was a fake Li Weiyi.

Unable to answer his question, Li Weiyi asked, "Where is Zuoqiu Hongting?"

Qi Xiao laughed and said, "Lady Hongting has always been elusive, like a dragon whose tail is never seen. Even giants in the Longevity Realm find it difficult to locate her, just like you."

"I heard that today, the young lord of Xuejian Tangting held a grand banquet, gathering the strongest figures from all the major forces in Lingxiao Shengjing to discuss and plan strategies for seizing the opportunities during the excavation of the Ancient Immortal Dragon's remains. Is Zuoqiu Sect not going to participate?" Li Weiyi asked.

Qi Xiao said meaningfully, "It's not that I don't want to participate, it's that I can't participate."

"What do you mean?" Li Weiyi asked curiously.

Qi Xiao smiled bitterly: "After the battle of Lingxiao City, the whereabouts of the Mist Emperor are unknown. The older generation is pessimistic. Fei Feng and Demon Lord Yu Baxian will not give her a way out. Now it seems that the one in Daogong will probably also kill her."

"Besides these visible enemies, there are many invisible enemies that will not give the Mist Emperor a chance to return. According to the chosen one from the Temple of Crossing Calamity, the entire southern part of Yingzhou has been shaken."

"Secondly, it is said that the reason why the Mist Emperor was able to display his divine power and kill everyone was because he obtained two of the Other Shore Heaven Pills from the Grand Palace Master. The Grand Palace Master may have already perished more than ten years ago." "Therefore, the Lingxiao Realm is currently a battle between the Snow Sword Tang Court and the Zuoqiu Sect for the position of the Realm Master."

"Xuejian Tangting is now acting as the ruler of the world, issuing invitations to heroes and holding a generals' banquet. Zuoqiu Menting is not causing trouble, which is already prioritizing the overall situation."

Qi Xiao said in a low voice, "Du'e Temple has been supporting Zuoqiu Sect, investing a lot of resources and manpower. Now, Zuoqiu Sect wants to submit to Xuejian Tang Court, and Du'e Temple will be the first to jump out and oppose it. Can you spit out what you've already swallowed?"

"The best outcome right now is to maintain a standoff between the North and the South, avoid conflict and internal strife, and wait for news from the Emperor of the Mist."

Li Weiyi said, "Du'e Temple probably won't allow such a thing to happen. Since we've invested, we must get a return, and it must be successful. Otherwise, it will damage Du'e Temple's influence in southern Yingzhou."

"Who can argue with that? In this competition for opportunity, the martial artists of the Zuoqiu Sect, including the Jiuli Clan, can travel with the Du'e Temple, so there's no need to worry. Let Xuejian Tangting do what he wants; we'll just stay out of it."

Qi Xiao's gaze fell on Yu'er beside him, and he smiled, "This child is so beautiful, like a porcelain doll, so adorable! Tell Uncle Qi, what's her name?"

"Yu'er."

Yu'er was dressed in a boy's blue cloth robe, with a headscarf tied around her neck. She had bright eyes and white teeth, and her gaze was intelligent. She sat leaning against Li Weiyi.

Qi Xiao pulled out a handful of Yongquan coins: "Call me Uncle Qi, and I'll give you all of these. You can buy lots of delicious food with them."

Li Weiyi was startled and immediately kicked Qi Xiao out of the car: "Get out, get out now! Don't let anyone know that I'm coming to Haishi on Yuelong Island. If you have any news about Zuoqiu Hongting, notify me immediately."

"Boom."

The vehicle drove off.

Qi Xiao stood frozen on the roadside, feeling utterly bewildered.

I just wanted to give the little girl a small gift when we first met, what did I do to deserve this?
Little did he know that, in Li Weiyi's eyes, he was saving him.

Li Weiyi cautioned, "Yu'er, you must remember, never let strangers cheat you out of money! You're still young, and it's hard for you to tell the difference between good and bad people."

Yu'er nodded vigorously: "That guy just now, was he a bad guy?"

"Not really, he's a nice person," Li Weiyi said.

Yu'er's little face was full of confusion: "Then why doesn't Master let Yu'er call him Uncle Qi?"

"Never mention Uncle Qi's name again! If you call him 'Little Qi,' he'll be excited for days," Li Weiyi said.

The Tianya warship was rented by Xuejian Tangting from the East Sea Camp and was personally supervised by Huo Di, the Duke of the East Sea, during his lifetime. It was intended to be used to attack the barbarian pirates of the three islands and completely eliminate the maritime threat.

It was extremely majestic, a colossal vessel anchored in the deep waters of the sea, several miles from the shore. Its deck rose thirty feet above sea level, and its superstructure was layered upon layered, resembling a tower from afar and a mountain up close.

Warships of this caliber can carry ten thousand people. Over the past thousand years, the Donghai Camp has only built eight such ships, capable of sailing the deep sea, unafraid of storms and monsters.

This also shows how close the relationship is between the current imperial factions and the Xuejian Tang court.

Li Weiyi took out a smiling Buddha mask, put it on Yu'er, and instructed Yin Shiyi to stop the car and wait on the shore. Then, two figures, one tall and one short, stepped onto the sea and sailed away.

Countless ships of all sizes were moored around the Tianya Ship. In addition to the major forces of the seven southern states, all the Dao Seed Realm experts from the entire Lingxiao Life Realm had rushed over.

Such a grand event is a once-in-a-century occurrence, and many veterans who have been famous for a century are present.

"Liang Zheng, the top general of Liangzhou in the Eastern Territory, has brought twenty-seven heroes from the Liang family to the banquet to await the young lord's orders."

"The number one expert below the Longevity Realm of the Zhu Clan in the Western Territory, Zhu Qishi, has come to the banquet to await the young lord's orders."

"The Seventy-Second Heaven Senior is still alive. He must be almost one hundred and forty years old, right?"

"The average lifespan of a martial artist at the Dao Seed Realm is two Jiazi, or 120 years old. This does not mean that living to 120 years old necessarily means death. The senior at the 72nd Heaven took a life-extending elixir, which added 30 years to his lifespan."

The man from the wealthy family, who was detached from worldly affairs, always felt that his bloodline was extraordinary and that whenever he was interested, he would have offspring to travel the world.

Zhu Yibai was his hundredth son.

Zhu Qishier Chongtian was his seventy-second son.

Zhu Qishi was an inheritor of the Heavenly Realm. In his youth, he was extremely powerful and had defeated all his peers. However, after reaching the ninth level, he could not break through to the next level no matter what he tried, and even taking the Longevity Pill ended in failure.

His arrival naturally caused a sensation.

Even if the blood energy of a ninth-level inheritor who has been stuck for nearly a hundred years has declined, his strength is still extraordinary.

"Lei Wu, the top disciple of Lei Xiao Sect, Lu Cangsheng, the number one young talent, and the ten elders have come to pay their respects."

"The foremost warrior of Youzhou, your subject Shidao..."

"The top scholar of Shuzhou..."

……

Li Weiyi, holding Yu'er's hand, leaped onto the ship and landed lightly on the deck. He took out the token that Tang Wanzhou had given him earlier and handed it to Tuoba Butuo, who was receiving guests from all sides.

Tuoba Butuo was startled when he saw that it was Shaojun's token.

Li Weiyi put away the token and transmitted her voice, "It's me! Where is the fake Li Weiyi?"
