The Primordial Law

Chapter 563 Chu Yutian

At dawn, the sky was still dark, but the wind was gentle and the moon was bright.

Tang Wanzhou was severely injured. He activated his governor's robe, transforming it into a slender purple shadow as he fled. He circulated his internal energy, channeling it to his wounds. Qin Zhengyang's fist and palm strikes were both fierce and powerful, making them difficult to withstand head-on.

To achieve a swift victory and avoid any unforeseen circumstances, she adopted a near-suicidal fighting style, sacrificing herself as much as possible to kill the enemy. She didn't avoid the opponent's moves at all; as long as she used the Golden Crow Flame and the Immobilization Talisman effectively, the enemy was doomed.

The most difficult part of this process is placing the talisman.

He scared Qin Zhengyang into fleeing, then used the Golden Crow Flame to burn his body and break through his protective aura, revealing his second-realm cultivation to make him lower his guard. All of this was done to hit him with the talisman.

It was precisely because she possessed the Golden Crow Flame and the Immobilization Talisman that she devised her current assassination strategy: "Intimidate the enemy, feign weakness, and then use your life to attach the talisman." Without these two techniques, the assassination method would naturally be entirely different.

As for Lu Jingchen's claim that Qin Zhengyang was suffering from a hidden injury, Tang Wanzhou never considered it an advantage. Because when she decided to assassinate Qin Zhengyang, she hadn't even considered that.

Suddenly.

An extremely dangerous aura, terrifying to the extreme, spread towards her from the direction of Dragon Island.

On the cliff by the sea, Yang Shenjing pushed his palm out of the void, compressing the air and causing the sea surface to cave in.

"Boom!"

Behind Tang Wanzhou, waves dozens of feet high, resembling mountain ranges, surged on the sea. The waves were arc-shaped, filled with magical energy, moving and pressing towards her.

The full moon hangs atop the Shuilang Mountain Ridge.

The opponent's cultivation was extremely high, and his magical energy wrapped around her body, suppressing her from activating the governor's robe.

She was about to be filmed and thrown into the sea.

In the sea, undercurrents surged. A gigantic black creature swam swiftly towards them, its body covered in giant scales and stretching for miles. It lashed out and shattered the waves that were sweeping towards Tang Wanzhou with a single lash of its tail.

The seawater churned and roared deafeningly.

Broken waves fell like raindrops.

A deep voice from the seabed reached Tang Wanzhou's ears: "The princess said to tell Li Weiyi that favors owed must be repaid. You may leave now; I'll take care of things here!"

Tang Wanzhou was slightly surprised, then clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Thank you, I will pass on the message."

Then, she gazed at Yang Shenjing's figure on the cliff by the sea and spoke in a sonic voice: "I am the Holy Commander of the Shaoyang Division of the Sentinel Spirit Army, ordered to kill Qin Zhengyang. Yang Shenjing, have you truly betrayed us and joined the Netherworld of the Dead, and are now an enemy of the entire human race?"

The sound traveled towards the coast.

Countless martial artists on Dragon Island heard this.

After that, no one dared to pursue Tang Wanzhou anymore.

"So the one who was killed was Qin Zhengyang of the Taiyin Sect. He deserved it. These lackeys of the Netherworld of the Dead always feel that the human race has abandoned them. They are all ruthless and vengeful, and regard all humans in the living realm as enemies."

"Good for them. The Sentinel Army is really powerful, unlike other human forces that are always timid and afraid of being retaliated against by the evil ones."

What is the Sentinel Army?

"You don't even know the Spirit Sentinel Army? It's an army established specifically to monitor every move of the Netherworld of the Dead, roaming the most dangerous places and stationed at sentry posts in the darkest of times. You've really gotten used to a peaceful and prosperous world and don't know that all of this is protected by those nameless and faceless people."

"Yang Shenjing actually dared to fight against the Sentinel Army for the sake of the evil Taiyin Sect. Could it be that he has really sided with the Netherworld of the Dead?"

"That poor Holy Priest of the Spirit Guard, after killing the evil man, was seriously injured, yet he had to flee immediately, afraid to set foot on the island. He was afraid of his identity being exposed and facing retaliation. He was even more afraid of someone like Yang Shenjing!"

……

Yang Shenjing frowned, watching Tang Wanzhou disappear into the sea. He dared not make another move and smiled bitterly: "Master, she really might be a member of the Sentinel Spirit Army. If we make another rash move, the old man and the Sui Sect will become the target of everyone's criticism."

"She says she's a member of the Sentinel Spirit Army, so she is? Fine, if you don't dare to make a move, I, the true disciple, will have to go and retrieve the item myself."

The vehicle sped off, plunged down a steep slope, entered the sea, rose into the white mist, and disappeared from sight.

……

The Dragon Island Dojo of Du'e Temple is located on the summit of one of the nine mountain peaks.

Zhuang Shiyan, dressed in a white Taoist robe, exuding an air of otherworldly elegance, leaned against the railing, gazing at the sea. He stroked his beard and smiled serenely: "The Cave Ruins Camp has finally won a brilliant comeback! With a young generation of sentry spirits, they killed the Noon Envoy Qin Zhengyang, and did so in front of countless people. Now those Lords of the Living Realm can shut up!"

Another voice sounded behind him: "With this battle, the Cave Ruins Camp can then allocate more cultivation resources to the Shaoyang Division without any resistance. I'm now looking forward to the duel between the Shaoyang Division and the Taiyin Envoy!"

"Dongxu Camp should hone an elite force to support the next era, just like we did back then."

……

Li Weiyi donned the Water Dragon Scale Armor, submerged into the water, and chased after it southward.

The Water Dragon Scale Armor is a seventh-grade thousand-character weapon. Not only does it have amazing defensive capabilities, but it can also blend into the water after entering the water, becoming almost invisible, and can also unleash speed comparable to water escape techniques.

No matter how well Tang Wanzhou concealed his presence, he would always leave traces.

Li Weiyi had no idea how badly Tang Wanzhou was injured, or whether she had fainted somewhere. She also didn't know if she was on the surface of the sea, in the middle of the sea, in the muddy seabed, or if she had changed direction.

However, with Erfeng, a skilled tracker, and Li Weiyi knowing that her destination was the Moon Dragon Island outpost, they were able to grasp the general direction.

They chased each other from dusk till dawn, and from dawn till the moon was high in the sky, traversing water and searching, covering six thousand miles. Along the way, Li Weiyi encountered three groups of enemies who were also pursuing him, all of them powerful spirit beings, Ghost Marquis and Bone Marquis, overlords of the Netherworld.

"Wow!"

Li Weiyi, clad in black armor, returned to the surface of the sea.

Looking around, he saw the dark coastline of the western shore of the East China Sea, just four or five miles away. This place was thousands of miles away from where he and Lu Jingchen had landed the previous night.

We arrived at the shore.

Wearing heavy armor, he sat cross-legged in a patch of black vegetation, utterly exhausted, his magical energy severely depleted.

He immediately took out two top-grade blood crystals, held them in his palms, and absorbed their internal magical energy. At the same time, he dispatched the Great Phoenix, the Second Phoenix, and the Seventh Phoenix: one to keep watch, one to search for Tang Wanzhou, and one to patrol.

After his internal energy had recovered to about 50-60%, Li Weiyi opened his eyes. In his field of vision, the two bright moons over the sea and sky were even rounder than the night before.

The Lantern Festival should be a joyous and lively occasion, with relatives and friends gathering, flowers and lanterns lit, fine wine and delicacies enjoyed, and the fish and dragon dance to be watched. However, every year, the Lantern Festival seems to be a battle between life and death, a time of exhaustion and no time to appreciate the beauty of life.

"Boss Li, the enemy is chasing us!"

Seven Phoenixes flew back, and their figures rapidly grew larger before Li Weiyi's eyes.

Li Weiyi immediately became alert, quickly got up, and led by Qi Feng, came to a higher position on the shore. Standing in the dark vegetation, he looked out at the sea.

Three strangely shaped undead giant ships were seen sailing several miles away, shrouded in a gray mist.

Inside the dark fog, everything was shrouded in mist, and all that could be seen were lanterns made of human skin hanging there.

One of the white bone ships, over thirty feet long, was the very same one Lu Jingshen had ridden in the Netherworld of the Dead, which was later taken away by Luo Pingdan and Xie Wumian.

at this time.

Chu Yutian stood on the deck of the middle ship, gazing at the mountains on the shore. Behind him were black sails rising from the ground, and on the masts hung corpses that swayed in the wind.

He was young and handsome, with his long hair neatly combed, like a delicate and sentimental scholar.

After boarding the ship, Xie Wumian, with a heart full of trepidation, held Qin Zhengyang's head and came to stand behind Chu Yutian.

The head was in a box, given to him by Inamiya's men, who also gave him an explanation.

"Old Qin, Old Qin, how could you be so careless? Your head is such a precious thing, and you've lost it!"

Chu Yutian held Qin Zhengyang's head out with both hands and raised it in front of him.

Blood was dripping continuously from the neck of the head, and the smell of blood was extremely strong.

Everyone on the ship was too frightened to breathe, for they knew all too well how unpredictable Master Zhen was.

The moment Chu Yutian spoke, Xie Wumian trembled and knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head, completely lacking the pride and demeanor that a giant of the Longevity Realm should have.

Among the crowd, only Chen Shiqingzao, dressed in a pale yellow robe, smiled and reminded them, "Zhenchuan is confused! What he lost was clearly his body."

Chen Shi ranks third among the twelve Taiyin Shi.

With Qin Zhengyang dead, she moved up to second place.

Chu Yutian slapped his forehead: "That makes sense! He not only lost his body, but also the Timeless Void God Token. What does it mean that he only left me his head?"

No one dared to answer; everyone knew that the true disciple was brewing intense killing intent in his heart at that moment.

Xie Wumian stared intently at Chu Yutian's shoes, gritting his teeth and trembling, "It must have been Inamori True Disciple who betrayed us. We must turn that bastard into a battle corpse."

Chu Yutian glanced down at him, handed Qin Zhengyang's head to Chen Shi, and then squatted down, cupping Xie Wumian's face as if he were holding Qin Zhengyang's head.

Xie Wumian was terrified: "Master... I was wrong, give me another chance, I will definitely catch up with the murderer, cut off her head, and retrieve the Time Void God Token... Give me another chance, I can definitely do it, she is already seriously injured... I can defeat her..."

Chu Yutian looked him in the eye at close range, then helped Xie Wumian up and comforted him, "I didn't say I blamed you! Wumian, you are the youngest and have the lowest cultivation, but you were able to escape from Dragon Island. You are stronger than Lao Qin. Don't be afraid. You are right. The murderer is already seriously injured and can't escape."

Xie Wumian's chest heaved, but he gradually calmed down.

Chu Yutian looked around at everyone present: "Can anyone tell me when a Shaoyang Division suddenly appeared in the Sentinel Spirit Army? And who is that Saint Division?"

There was silence.

"You don't know?" Chu Yutian laughed.

Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.

After a long pause, Chen Shi spoke up: "It's definitely a newly established organization; judging from the name, they're after us. In our previous clashes with the Dongxu Camp, although we won a great victory, they also managed to track down our internal spies and eliminate many of our men. Investigating the Shaoyang Division probably won't be something they can do in a short time."

Luo Ping said calmly, "Our manpower in Dongxu Camp is already very limited."

"Hai Shi has infiltrated the Dongxu Camp. The original plan was to keep him silent. Now it seems we must activate him ahead of schedule. Send him the message and make sure to find out the detailed personnel information of the Shaoyang Division. Since it is newly established, it must be the best of this cohort. It shouldn't be difficult to find out."

After making the arrangements, Chu Yutian asked, "Where exactly did we go wrong in last night's defeat? What do you all think? Those who betrayed Tidao Palace can shut up for now."
