The Primordial Law

Chapter 558 There is a ghost
In her vision, the blood mist at the edge of the Blood Mud Space was rapidly receding, and Shaoyang Star was expanding into a much larger area than before.

The flat, blood-sludge land stretched out endlessly, and on the horizon, a rocky hill appeared.

A faint and strange sound came from behind the hill.

Apart from Yu'er, no one else heard it.

She listened intently, and the sounds grew clearer and clearer. Terrified, she glanced at the location enveloped by the cocoon of time, then quickly ran over and crouched down beside it.

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

……

The talisman paper was constantly destroyed, either burned or shattered.

Upon reaching the level of a Holy Spirit Master, the runes for drawing the "All" immobilization talisman became incredibly complex. Li Weiyi almost exhausted all the transcendent bone talisman paper he possessed before successfully refining one.

The materials lost for this one talisman alone were worth a million Yongquan coins.

Having been in a state of high intensity while drawing talismans, Li Weiyi's mental energy was greatly depleted, his face became even paler, and his head throbbed with pain.

After emerging from the cocoon of time, he casually handed the "All" immobilization talisman to Tang Wanzhou: "I'm glad I didn't fail you. I didn't waste too much time, did I?"

Aside from the burned skin that needs time to heal, Tang Wanzhou's injuries were almost completely healed. Without any pretense, he accepted the talisman: "After killing Qin Zhengyang, I will definitely find the Deputy Sentinel Master and ask for a 6,000-year-old refined herb. You will definitely get a share of the credit then. I'm leaving!"

"Master!"

Yu'er suddenly stood up, grabbed Li Weiyi's arm, looked very scared, and said seriously, "There are ghosts, I won't stay here."

Li Weiyi's head was still a little dizzy. He pointed to the seven phoenix-winged moth queens and said, "Yu'er, don't be afraid. None of the seven of them are afraid of ghosts. They will protect you. Wait for me. Master will be back soon."

Erfeng stood upright, walked over with its two paws, patted Yu'er's arm with one paw, and said proudly, "I, Erfeng, specialize in eating ghosts. Boss Li has seen me."

"Wow!"

Li Weiyi and Tang Wanzhou returned to their room in Longcheng Tiange.

"Before you leave, do me a favor and wipe away all those messy marks in the room," she said as she left.

After seeing Tang Wanzhou off, Li Weiyi relaxed from her tense state and slumped into a wooden chair in the room. She took off her mask, revealing that the wound between her eyebrows had healed.

If Lu Jingshen saw him in this state, he would surely offer some advice on how to take care of his health.

Close your eyes, then open them again.

It felt like only a moment had passed, but the sky outside had already changed from bright sunshine to complete darkness.

Li Weiyi regained his energy, remained slumped in his seat, and began to ponder what to do next.

He had done all he could to help. He believed that Tang Wanzhou's survival to this day, despite her extraordinary talent, was no accident, and that Li Weiyi didn't need to worry about her safety.

That level of confrontation was beyond his ability to get involved in.

Now that you've broken through to the Holy Spirit Mind Master realm and achieved your goal in Dragon City, it's time to go back.

But two things remained on his mind.

One of his tasks was to help the Water Beaver Fairy remove the Death Spirit Flame; a promise must be kept. He had just sensed the Water Beaver Fairy's approximate location through the Death Spirit Flame—it was on Dragon Island.

He stood up, ready to go out.

Suddenly, she saw something on the wall in the darkness and stopped in her tracks.

The words Tang Wanzhou said when he left echoed in my mind.

"Wow!"

A ray of light flicked from his fingertip, igniting the lamp depicting a goddess.

The walls were covered with a jumble of chaotic patterns and lines, some of which extended to the floor. Li Weiyi moved her feet and discovered that there were also some words beneath her feet.

At the very center of the wall was an irregular circle. Based on the surrounding lines, Li Weiyi analyzed it for a long time before realizing that it represented Dragon Island.

They then found the signs marked "Dragon Island Crossing the River", "Immortal's Tomb Rice Mother Pagoda", "South Ferry", and "West Ferry"...

Li Weiyi became increasingly interested as she read on, realizing that Tang Wanzhou was deducing the location where Qin Zhengyang and Inamiya Shinden would meet. The last place she marked was at the West Ferry, where she had drawn a heavy circle.

"Dragon City is vast, and Dragon Island is enormous. How could she deduce that Qin Zhengyang and Inamiya Shinden met here?"

"Have secret intelligence? No, Xuejian Tangting has little influence here and can't help her."

"She dared not rely on the intelligence system of the Sentinel Army, lest she alert the enemy or be discovered in advance by the Taiyin Sect."

Li Weiyi pondered carefully: if he were Qin Zhengyang, coming to Dragon Island to secretly hand over a treasure to Inamiya Shinden, what aspects would he consider?

He used his spiritual light to clean up all the messy marks on the wall and then left the room.

Li Weiyi refused to believe that her intelligence was inferior to Tang Wanzhou's; she had to figure out the reason. Walking through the corridor, she saw Lu Jingshen sitting alone in a pavilion at the corner, drinking wine.

Two maids stood on either side of the pavilion's stone steps, bowed in unison, and said in clear voices, "Greetings, Master Li!"

Lu Jingshen's face flushed slightly, and his eyes were a little unfocused. He turned to look at Li Weiyi who was walking over and quickly called out, "Brother Li, come and have a drink with me. I feel terrible, my heart is pounding. You two, get out of here!"

Li Weiyi walked into the pavilion: "Brother Lu, why are you drinking alone? With your cultivation level in the Longevity Realm and your status, what could possibly make you unhappy?"

Lu Jingshen's eyes were cold as he gripped his wine cup tightly. "My second brother won't help me take revenge, and he forbids me from doing so. He said that the Taiyin Sect can borrow troops from the entire Netherworld and is the henchman of some forbidden beings deep within the Netherworld. If Qianli Mountain provokes the Taiyin Envoy, it will surely invite a frenzied retaliation. Qianli Mountain's businesses all over the world will suffer heavy losses because of this."

He also said that the culprit was the competitor who placed the order with the Taiyin Sect, who has been executed and the matter is over!

"The only thing... I can't get through it, I can't get through it!"

“Anbo was killed by Xie Wumian. Those Dao Seed Realm soldiers and maids who have followed me for many years all have families, fathers, children, brothers and sisters. They all died in front of me! I don’t dare to go home now. I don’t know how to face them.”

"And those zombie-like martial artists, they'll appear in front of me the moment I close my eyes. How am I supposed to get past them? Tell me, how am I supposed to get past them?"

"It's not that I haven't been through storms, but that I truly can't forget them. I was utterly wicked, ambitious, and arrogant..."

He slapped himself repeatedly across the face, tears streaming down his face.

Li Weiyi pulled him back: "Brother Lu, you're a little drunk!"

“He’s my brother! Those people died because of him, how could he be so indifferent? How could he be so nonchalant? It was Uncle An who taught us the basic cultivation methods since we were little… Uncle An is dead…”

"He's just afraid of losing his position as the chief writer of the Earth Book... The higher the cultivation level, the more indifferent he becomes... They're all like that... They're all fucking like that..."

Lu Jingshen roared and smashed the wine glass in his hand with a bang.

"Wow!"

Lu Jingchen's figure appeared out of thin air in the pavilion, and he pointed a finger at Lu Jingchen's head.

Lu Jingshen then lost consciousness and slumped onto the table.

Lu Jingchen looked at Li Weiyi: "His cultivation has reached the peak of the first realm, and he is attempting to break through the Soul Return Lock. The Soul Return Lock is closely related to spiritual consciousness. This is how cultivators at this stage behave. I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Brother Li!"

Two maids helped Lu Jingshen down.

The two walked side by side down the corridor.

"Leaving tomorrow?"

Lu Jingchen was quite surprised to hear this news. He took three steps forward and, after careful consideration, said, "Brother Li, before you leave, could you do me a favor? I will definitely repay you in the future."

Li Weiyi laughed self-deprecatingly, "With my cultivation level, how could I possibly be of any help to Young Master Lu?"

“Brother Li, there’s no need to be modest. At your age, being able to escape from Xie Wumian and Luo Pingdan is enough to make you famous throughout the world.” Lu Jingchen said, “I want you to come with me to see Qin Zhengyang.”

A storm raged within Li Weiyi, and she stopped to look at him.

Lu Jingchen said, "Qin Zhengyang has arrived in the East China Sea and sent me a letter of invitation, indicating that the Taiyin Sect is willing to return the payment given by my rival in order to resolve this grievance."

Li Weiyi also sighed for Lu Jingshen in her heart.

So many people died, and the Taiyin Sect just wanted to resolve the feud by returning the reward money.

This feud was resolved so easily!
Lu Jingchen said, "I also want to take this opportunity to test his strength, see where he is injured and what his weaknesses are. Of course, the ultimate goal is to see where he can rank on the Earth Ranking."

Li Weiyi was no fool. He instantly understood and looked at Lu Jingchen with a strange gaze: "The Taiyin Sect is hated by everyone. Qin Zhengyang dares to contact you so openly. Isn't he afraid that you will reveal his whereabouts and kill him?"

Lu Jingchen smiled and said, "He was certain that I wouldn't dare offend the Taiyin Sect, and that's exactly what happened. If Qin Zhengyang dies because of me, at least dozens of Tiange and Xianlin will be destroyed in the next month, not to mention other industries."

"The Taiyin Sect's methods are too ruthless, and they can even borrow the army of the dead. Only the Sentinel Army has the ability to counter them, knows them inside and out, and is determined to fight them to the death."

"Stop talking about this!"

Lu Jingchen continued, "To resolve this feud, Jingshen will definitely need to come with me. But, look at his current state; he's lost his mind. I've heard that Brother Li is skilled in disguise, so I'm taking the liberty of asking for your help. Could Brother Li transform into his likeness and come with me on this trip?"

Li Weiyi asked, "How long?"

"He was very cautious. Tonight at midnight, he told me to go to the west coast of the East Sea. Someone will meet me there, but he didn't say the exact location."

Lu Jingchen then added, "This matter concerns the enormous interests of Qianli Mountain, as well as my future and life. I urge Brother Li not to disclose it."

Li Weiyi smiled bitterly. Even if she wanted to leak the information to Tang Wanzhou, she couldn't find her now.

How can I find her?
Will Erfeng be able to find her? Or should she go to the West Ferry?

Li Weiyi temporarily put that matter aside and agreed to Lu Jingchen's request. Then, thinking of the second thing on his mind, he asked, "Brother Lu, you've been in Longcheng for so long, have you met Inamiya Shinden and Chu Yutian?"
