The Primordial Law

Chapter 528 The Netherworld Caravan
"Those!"

Li Wei made a hand seal and pointed at Yu'er, unleashing a secret technique to purify the mind and dispel evil.

A radiant light emanated from his brow, rippling outwards in concentric circles.

but……

The moment his finger touched Yu'er, he sensed danger, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

He quickly withdrew his finger and retreated to a distance, his vest covered in cold sweat.

That feeling just now was terrifying, as if his finger pointing would trigger some kind of backlash, and his whole body would be torn to pieces.

Li Weiyi was filled with doubt and suspicion, secretly guessing that it was the "cursed monster" inside Yu'er's body that was causing the trouble. The two of them must be fighting each other.

If even the Grand Palace Master couldn't break free from this curse, the consequences for them if they were to become tainted by it are unimaginable.

"We can't let them continue to stay with Yu'er."

Li Weiyi glanced at the unconscious Yao Yin and Yin Ershisi, then used his magical energy to lift them up and break out of the formation.

If anything seems amiss, immediately escape the Blood Mud Space.

Seven phoenix-winged moths flew over, chattering amongst themselves and asking about Yu'er's condition.

Da Feng and Er Feng jumped around checking on Yao Yin and Yin Ershi Si's injuries, looking very worried.

Li Wei ignored them. Since they reached the ninth level of heaven, their intelligence had greatly increased, and they had all become chatterboxes, with voices filling his ears. Among them, the Great Phoenix and the Second Phoenix often flew into the array's light veil to chat with Yao Yin and Yin Twenty-Four.

Soon after, a slender, jade-like hand lifted a corner of the array's veil, revealing a head that peered out and looked around.

Upon seeing Li Weiyi dozens of feet away, Yu'er's eyes lit up. She rushed out of the veil of light barefoot, her steps light and quick: "Master, how did we end up in this secret realm again?"

The last time he took her into the Blood Mud Space, Li Weiyi claimed that they had arrived at a secret realm and dared not tell her the truth.

Li Weiyi looked at Yu'er, who had grown considerably taller, with a wary gaze. Yin Ershisi had already changed her clothes; they were blue magical martial arts robes that could change size and fit her perfectly.

She had long, flowing black hair, bright, lively eyes, slender arms, and delicate fingers, like a flower fairy, playing with the seven flying phoenix-winged moth queens.

"Yu'er is awake! Yu'er is finally awake!"

“Yu’er has been sleeping for two months, sleeping like a pig, and no matter how much we call her, she won’t wake up.”

"She can sleep better than me, but she can't eat as much as I can."

"Yu'er has grown up and gotten taller, even faster than me. But Li Laoda hasn't grown much at all. No matter how much he eats, it's like he hasn't eaten anything. So many pills have been wasted!"

……

Yu'er came to Li Weiyi's side, looked at the unconscious Yao Yin and Yin Ershisi, and asked with concern, "Master, what happened to Sister Yin and Sister Ershisi?"

The seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Queens were unharmed upon contact, suggesting she has returned to normal and suppressed the curse.

"They're fine."

Li Weiyi has already checked, and Yao Yin and Yin Ershisi are not tainted by the curse.

He stared at Yu'er, looking her up and down, and asked, "Yu'er, do you remember what just happened?"

"I remember, it seems like I fought someone in armor underground, but I can't remember clearly, it feels like I'm dreaming." Yu'er tried hard to recall, her brows furrowed.

Li Weiyi asked, "Did you hear any Sanskrit chants?"

She shook her head slightly.

Li Weiyi observed her condition and pondered for a moment: "Do you still remember the Twelve Scattered Techniques of the Chan Sect that I taught you?"

"Yes!" Yu'er nodded with her eyes wide open.

"Show me it again, let me see."

After saying that, Li Weiyi, along with Yao Yin and Yin Ershisi, immediately retreated to a distance.

Yu'er looked at Li Weiyi, who had retreated to the edge of the Blood Mud Space, in surprise and shouted, "Master, where are you going?"

"Don't worry about me, you just practice," Li Weiyi said.

Yu'er's face showed a bewildered smile. She always felt that her master was strange and his words and actions were incoherent.

Without thinking further, she began to practice.

Li Weiyi observed from afar and discovered that Yu'er's moves were extremely precise, both in form and intention, as if she had been cultivating for several years, demonstrating her exceptional martial arts talent. However, they did not conform to the rules of heaven and earth, thus failing to attract any astonishing phenomena.

"Could it be that the Grand Palace Master awakened at that time and, with the help of his three thousand years of martial arts cultivation, was able to unleash the power of the Twelve Scattered Hands of the Chan Sect?"

……

Li Weiyi did not intend to stay in the Blood Mud Space indefinitely.

First of all, Yu'er's condition is very unstable. If the cursed monster were to erupt out of control, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Secondly, Yao Yin and Yin Ershisi have been confined on the jade boat for two months, which is certainly not a long-term solution.

Third, he and the Grand Palace Master disappeared together, and the outside world must be frantically searching for them. Just like last time, when he hid in the White Desert for three months in seclusion, the Jiuli Clan and the Jiuli Hidden Sect were unaware and sent countless martial artists into the Netherworld to search for him, many of whom lost their lives as a result. He then "locked" Yao Yin and Yin Twenty-Four back into the jade boat, leaving behind a letter. Li Weiyi, along with Yu'er and the seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Queens, left the Blood Mud Space and appeared deep underground in the Netherworld of the Dead.

Yu'er was dressed in men's martial arts robes, with her hair tied in a topknot. She was quite pretty, but her face had soft features and lacked the heroic spirit of a boy.

Return to the ground.

"Master, why isn't this the White Desert?" Yu'er asked curiously, observing her surroundings.

It was pitch black and the air was cold.

Li Weiyi said, "This is another exit from the secret realm."

"Where are Sister Yin and Sister Twenty-Four? Aren't you taking them with you? Master, you're not hiding something, are you? You're not lying to me, are you? If you're lying to me, I'll never believe you again!" Yu'er said seriously.

Li Weiyi was extremely troubled; he was becoming increasingly difficult to fool.

The Grand Palace Master has already learned to manipulate things from the opposite perspective!
Li Weiyi immediately changed the subject: "We have to leave quickly, the Netherworld of the Dead is extremely dangerous."

In fact, with Yu'er by his side and his own cultivation greatly improved, Li Weiyi was quite confident that he could not cross the Netherworld of the Dead.

"Clang!"

The evil camel bell was rang, releasing two enormous camels that were half real and half illusory.

The master and his apprentice, each on their own horse, chose a direction and set off.

Now that Yu'er is older, it would be quite inappropriate for her to ride on the same horse. After all, the Grand Palace Master would wake up sooner or later, and she would certainly know whether he was protecting her or taking advantage of her.

Li Weiyi released the Seven Phoenixes, making them invisible so they could scout ahead.

To avoid accidentally entering a forbidden zone of death, or trespassing into a ghost town or a mansion of corpses.

Li Weiyi opened the map of the secluded realm he had bought earlier, glanced at it, and then put it away. Now, not even knowing where he was, the map was as useless as a piece of paper.

His gaze fell on Yu'er on the camel's back, and he recalled asking Elder Qin about the methods the Sentinel Army used to deal with the cursed monsters.

Master Qin mentioned "the soul-burning heavenly fire" at that time.

It is said that the cursed monster inside Song Yulou's body was burned away by the Soul-Burning Heavenly Fire, and the Soul-Burning Heavenly Fire is only found in the Cave Ruins Camp.

The Cave Ruins Camp, located deep within the Netherworld, is composed of sentinels and spirits from various living realms, responsible for monitoring every move of the Cave Ruins Ghost City. It is the most important camp in the southern part of the Hundred Realms Living Domain.

Just as Li Weiyi was wondering if he had missed the recruitment period for the Sentinel Army, Yu'er turned around in front of him and asked, "Master, why are you staring at me like that?"

She was perceptive and noticed Li Weiyi's gaze.

Li Wei sighed inwardly. He was only eleven or twelve years old. How was he going to cope with this in the future?
He asked, "Where is the blue bead?"

"Huh? Didn't you take it?" Yu'er was stunned, then hurriedly searched her body, finally stopping: "Master, you didn't lose it yourself and blame it on me, did you? Da Feng said that I've been sleeping for the past two months and don't know anything."

……

A caravan of over two hundred dead spirit beasts sped across the Seven Wrongs Plains.

All the carriages were shaped like giant coffins, each two zhang long. The black iron wheels were engraved with runes and inlaid with blood crystals, allowing them to move off the ground at extreme speeds.

Those driving the vehicles were all humanoid skeletons.

They have golden skeletons of varying shades, their eye sockets burning with soul fire, and they wear gray robes embroidered with "mountain" patterns.

As the saying goes, money makes the world go round.

As long as you have money and resources, you can take the dead for your own use.

Thousand Mile Mountain is able to open up trade routes between various habitats, and its business covers Yingzhou. In addition to its own strength, more importantly, they either subdue and conquer or send out a large number of blood crystals. The lords of the dead along the route will recognize the banner of Thousand Mile Mountain.

Furthermore, in accordance with the rules of the Netherworld, we should keep a low profile as much as possible and use spirit vehicles for transportation.

Lu Jingshen, who looked to be under thirty, stood straight on a white-boned ship at the very front of the caravan, gazing at the boundless Seven Grievances Plain.

He was dressed in fine clothes with a golden sword at his waist, and his deep, weathered eyes showed that he was no longer the twenty-something-year-old he appeared to be.

“Third Young Master, it’s still early to reach the East Sea. It will take at least six more days to reach Leizhou in the eastern part of Lingxiao Realm.” An Zhi Ruo was a guest elder of Qianli Mountain with over a hundred years of business experience. He was very experienced and accompanied Lu Jing Shen to Longcheng in the East Sea.

The stowaways in the coffins behind were all martial arts practitioners from various realms who had heard that "Dragon City has emerged from the sea and the ancient immortal dragon vein has been revived" and had gone to the East China Sea to seek opportunities.

Lu Jingshen asked, "Uncle An, how much longer until we can leave the dangerous void zone?"

After making an estimate, An Zhiruo replied, "About eight or nine thousand li... Hey, there are two people ahead."

Li Weiyi and Yu'er stood a dozen miles in front of the skeletal ship, transmitting their voices from afar: "I am Li Songgu, the patriarch of the Cangli tribe of the Jiuli clan in the Lingxiao realm. I am lost in the Netherworld. May I ask which heroes are on board?"

Lu Jingshen frowned and said in a low voice, "Uncle An, did you say that the living are more dangerous than the dead in the Netherworld of the Dead?"

An Zhiruo nodded: "However, businessmen make friends, not enemies. The Jiuli Clan is an ancient clan from the Lingxiao Realm with a good reputation and considerable strength. They have a transcendent-level strange insect. When the Lingxiao Realm was in chaos before, that strange insect single-handedly summoned all the ferocious insects underground in the entire realm to form an insect army and quell the disaster of the Yin Corpse planting rice."

"In addition, only members of the Jiuli clan with bloodlines can pass through the Lost Spirit Mist Domain and reach the Blood Sea Coffin Dock. Their ancestors were no ordinary people."

"If he is indeed a big shot from the Jiuli tribe, we can lend a hand. Judging from the fluctuations in the magical energy transmitted through his voice, he should be at the first level of cultivation, which we can handle."
