The Primordial Law

Chapter 575 Emergency Recall

Tu Mian Gou looked at the silver crown in Li Weiyi's hand, his eyes suddenly changed, and he quickly took it to examine it carefully. Then, he used his magical energy to activate it.

On the silver crown, densely packed ghostly script appeared.

"This is impossible! Where did this come from?" Tu Mian Gou's voice was full of astonishment, his eyes almost bulging out.

Li Weiyi said, "While patrolling the territory of the old Yezhou, I encountered a ghost marquis and knocked it off its head."

"Old Yezhou?"

Tu Mian Gou was incredulous and explained, "This is the Silver Arsenic Crown, also known as the Yin God Crown, forged from silver, arsenic, and iron."

"Only Ghost Marquises in the army under the Ghost Emperor of Dongxu are qualified to wear it. Corpse Marquises are not qualified, Bone Marquises are not qualified, and other miscellaneous marquises are even less qualified. In other words, Jingzhe, you have encountered the Ghost Emperor's personal guards."

Li Weiyi's expression turned solemn.

Xu Daoqing had already stood up and walked over, taking the silver arsenic crown to examine it: "The Ghost City of Cave Ruins is at least 400,000 miles away. It is a true forbidden zone that light cannot reach, separated by countless mountains and rivers. How could the Ghost Emperor's personal guards appear in the Seven Grievances Plain?"

Tu Mian Gou said, "That's right. Dongxu Ghost City hardly cares about the affairs of these outer areas. They let the various Kings of the Dead govern themselves and just pay tribute on time every sixty years. This matter is strange and must be reported immediately."

A whistle sounded softly.

Li Weiyi and his two companions looked outwards from the outpost formation.

Willow Leaf, blowing her whistle, stood in the wind and snow alongside four other spirits and sentries.

Li Weiyi, Tu Miangou, and Xu Daoqing immediately put on white masks and released their magical energy fields to conceal their figures.

After checking the waist tags of the group, Tu Miangou activated the formation.

Liu Ye walked in first: "The brothers I met down the mountain, here to relieve you."

"Didn't you say it would take six months? It's only been three months!" Li Weiyi said.

The shift leader, looking at the four mysterious and powerful Shaoyang Guards before him, clasped his hands in a salute, and then took out a handwritten order from the deputy sentry: "There must be an emergency that requires your Shaoyang Guards to handle. We are ordered to take over the Yecheng outpost."

Xu Daoqing personally checked the waist tags of the four people and checked the secret codes.

After the handover was properly handled, they began packing their belongings, preparing to head to the main outpost of the space teleportation array, tens of thousands of miles away.

"Captain, what are we going to do with this batch of pills?" Tu Mian Gou asked.

"I'm not going to try anymore, since I can't succeed anyway."

Xu Daoqing poured out all the medicinal herbs from the bronze furnace, only putting the furnace into his storage bag. Alchemy was merely a hobby for him; he was still in the research and learning stage.

Space teleportation arrays are extremely rare, and often more than ten outposts share one.

Every trip between the outpost and the teleportation array is a thrilling and dangerous journey and a life-or-death experience. One cannot reveal any fluctuations of magical energy, and can only rely on one's own two legs to travel. One must also avoid some dangerous areas. It is common to spend ten days or half a month on the road.

The four returned to the Xianxia Sect camp in Dongxu Camp half a month later.

In the teleportation hall, each of them left a drop of blood, checked their boundary bags, and looked in the Mirror of Suspended Heaven. The four of them had just walked out of the hall when Li Weiyi had not yet had time to bring Tang Wanzhou out.

The deputy sentry's voice reached their ears: "All Shaoyang Guards, proceed to the camp immediately."

A year has passed since they entered the camp, and the Xianxia Sect camp has become much quieter, with most of the sentries and sentry spirits being sent out to guard posts and gain experience.

When the four arrived at Qingyu Square on the mountaintop, they discovered that they were the last group of Shaoyang Guards to return.

Chi Haohan, Chang Yujian, Lu Qing, Nangong, Qing Zijin, the scholar, the pipa player, and Qiu Cheng, a young man from the Moyue clan, were all dressed in white robes and stood amidst clusters of magical energy or spiritual light.

They possessed extraordinary qualities, some handsome, some majestic, and some beautiful, like a group of young celestial beings, chatting and laughing in perfect harmony.

After spending more than half a year together, and three months of mutual trust and dedicated assistance in facing danger together while guarding the outposts in the secluded realm, the originally unfamiliar group gradually lowered their guard and began to build friendships.

Even the usually taciturn Nangong and the aloof Qing Zijin would occasionally exchange a few words, their faces sometimes revealing a captivating smile.

In the half year since joining the Shaoyang Division, everyone's cultivation has greatly improved, and they are all full of fighting spirit.

"Master Xu and the others are back!"

"Why are you back so late? We've been waiting for you for three days."

"Brother Xu, how about a game of chess tonight?"

"Let's have a drink together at the camp tonight. Staying in the secluded place all the time has made us too tense. We need to relax."

……

The group gathered together, chatting and laughing, asking each other if they had encountered any dangers in the secluded realm, and inquiring about their cultivation progress.

Among the Shaoyang Guards, there is no concealment of identity, and they rarely address each other by the solar terms.

Tu Miangou looked curious and asked Li Weiyi in a low voice, "Brother Li, isn't there twenty-four Shaoyang Guards in the Shaoyang Division? Why do we never see the other twelve?"

Li Weiyi's expression was serious as he transmitted his voice, saying, "The Shaoyang Division is divided into two groups: one open guard and one covert guard. I have the lowest cultivation level, the youngest age, the weakest strength, and the least mature mind, so I don't know much. Only the Holy Division knows about this matter."

"I see."

Tu Mian Gou's eyes were introspective, as if he were deep in thought. Chang Yu Jian approached, first bowing to Tu Mian Gou, then striking up a conversation with Li Weiyi: "Brother Weiyi, how is it? Have you broken through the shackles of immortality?"

Li Weiyi sighed and shook his head.

Tu Miangou comforted Li Weiyi for a few words, then walked over to the group of Shaoyang Guards, and they quickly became friends.

Changyu Sword also comforted her: "It's alright. With your talent in mental power, your combat strength at the same level won't be much weaker than that of the true disciples of the ancient sect. Those Holy Spirit Kings who are mental masters have a status in the Demon Kingdom that is far beyond ordinary and extraordinary. The path of mental masters becomes more and more extraordinary the higher you go, and it won't lose to the martial arts."

Li Weiyi gave a wry smile, neither confirming nor denying, and asked in return, "And you, have you reached the peak of the first realm?"

Changyu Sword said, "It's not that easy. I've only just finished refining a ball of dragon soul source light. There's still a long way to go before I reach my peak."

The higher one's cultivation level, the faster one can refine a ball of dragon soul source light.

Tang Wanzhou, at the second realm, spent half a year refining a single wisp of Dragon Soul Source Light. Chang Yu Sword, at the first realm, took nearly a year to refine a single wisp of Dragon Soul Source Light.

"There are important figures in the Demon Kingdom who already know you're in the Cave Ruins Camp. There's nothing we can do; there are too many Demon Kingdom martial artists in the camp, including many of that person's direct subordinates. We can't hide it from them," Chang Yujian whispered telepathically.

Li Weiyi knew without guessing that the so-called "that person" was most likely the Crown Prince of the Demon Kingdom.

The Demon Kingdom's Crown Prince was certainly not targeting him.

He was far from being someone the Demon Kingdom's crown prince would bother to deal with; the other party wanted to use this opportunity to find Yu Yaozi.

Is it possible to find a weakened Crown Prince through a martial artist at the Dao Seed Realm?
Nobody believed it.

This could very well be just a casual move by the Crown Prince of the Demon Kingdom. It's even possible that some Demon Kingdom officials under the Crown Prince's command, trying to guess the Emperor's intentions, simply targeted Li Weiyi as a breakthrough point.

Chang Yujian, a martial arts practitioner from the Demon Kingdom, took the initiative to tell this story because the Chang family and the Crown Prince of the Demon Kingdom had a deep-seated conflict and had been fighting openly and covertly for thousands of years.

The Demon Queen Changyu Lu is deeply favored by Yu Baxian, and her cultivation has become increasingly profound over the past thousand years, reportedly now on par with the Demon Kingdom's Crown Prince. Some say that if Yu Baxian hadn't poured cultivation resources into Changyu Lu, the Demon Kingdom's Crown Prince might have already reached the level of a Martial Emperor.

There are also rumors that Yu Baxian cultivated Changyu Lu and the Chang family in order to suppress the exceptionally talented Crown Prince of the Demon Kingdom.

The king does not see the king.

A country with two emperors is naturally incredibly glorious.

However, the emergence of two different supreme voices and two different supreme decrees is not necessarily a good thing. Advantages and disadvantages often coexist, depending on the mindset of the supreme leader and the ambitions of those who follow.

"Don't worry, I will inform you in advance of any news from the Demon Kingdom."

Chang Yujian smiled and said frankly and sincerely, "As long as that person fails to achieve their goal, it's a good thing for the Chang family. Since ancient times, in the internal power struggles within the Demon Kingdom, the losers suffer terribly, and even the extinction of their clan is considered a dignified end... I'm sorry to have made my brother laugh!"

"Thank you."

Li Weiyi really liked the straightforwardness of Changyu Sword.

Changyu Sword glanced at Tumian Dog in the distance: "Did he reveal any weakness?"

Li Weiyi gently shook her head: "Not a drop of water leaked."

The Shaoyang Division investigated the Hai Envoy of the Twelve Taiyin Envoys, and all clues pointed to Tu Mian Gou.

The reason for recruiting him into the Shaoyang Division was to train him to be a tool for transmitting special messages to Chu Yutian.

As for whether Tu Mian Gou will expose the members of Shaoyang Division, firstly, the identities of Shaoyang Division members are not difficult to investigate. Half of the members were guessed by this generation of Sentinels and Sentinel Spirits.

Secondly, if he were to leak detailed information about the Shaoyang Division, it would be tantamount to admitting guilt without being asked.

"The deputy sentry has arrived!" Chi Haohan's voice boomed like thunder.

The twelve Shaoyang Guards immediately fell silent and bowed in unison to Liu Tianchen, who had just emerged from the camp.

Liu Tianchen scanned them one by one: "Your cultivation has improved very quickly. You truly deserve to be the top talents of the major forces."

"Reporting to the Deputy Sentinel, I have reached the mid-stage of the third realm." Chi Haohan was very confident, certain that if he were to encounter Tang Wanzhou again, who was nine months ago, he could definitely hold his own.

Liu Tianchen said, "Are you already getting complacent? Your opponents won't wait for you to catch up. What about the Holy Master of Shaoyang Division?"

“Saintess acts alone and is very secretive, making her difficult to contact,” the scholar said.

Liu Tianchen said, "You new recruits have been in the camp for a year now, it's time for your first annual exam."

“Deputy Sentinel, the Holy Master said we don’t need to participate in the quarterly and annual exams; she has the final say in everything,” Liu Ye said.

Liu Tianchen said, "The Shaoyang Division is not required to take annual exams, but there is a rare opportunity right now. The withering and flourishing zone on the edge of the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins has entered a weak cycle. This special trial ground cannot be entered at any time. It is a once-in-a-decades opportunity. Before the Holy Division returns, you should think carefully about whether you want to go."

"After all, it's too dangerous. If more than half of the Shaoyang Guards don't participate, then this matter should be dropped."

"More than half of the participants will participate, while the rest will participate unconditionally."

Qiu Cheng, a young man from the Moyue Clan, said coldly, "What's there to think about? I joined the Sentinel Spirit Army because I knew that the Cave Ruins Camp possessed a Time Ruins God Token. The Hundred Realms Longevity Competition only has five years left. I advise you all to seize this opportunity. Anyone who dares to be a coward will face my wrath."

After saying this, Qiu Cheng turned and left quickly, actively preparing supplies for the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins, his eyes burning with excitement.
