The Primordial Law

Chapter 581 Accident
When Li Weiyi arrived at the teleportation hall, everyone from the Shaoyang Division had indeed arrived.

The atmosphere is not right.

The air seemed to freeze; some people had somber eyes, while others harbored anger. In this atmosphere, Li Weiyi felt that even the sound of her footsteps entering the room was a mistake.

Not only Mo Duanfeng and Bai Chuan, who were at the very top, were like this, but Tang Wanzhou, who was standing to the side, also had eyes like swords, revealing a cold light.

Li Weiyi realized that it wasn't his lateness that was the cause, but rather an unexpected situation. So, he quietly blended into the crowd, his gaze falling on Liu Ye beside him. Liu Ye whispered, "Tu Mian Dog is missing!"

"what?"

Li Weiyi's heart skipped a beat, finding this as ridiculous as a fairy tale.

Having grown accustomed to the gatherings without Tumian Gou, he hadn't even noticed someone was missing when he came in.

The most important person in this operation, Hai Shi of the Taiyin Sect, actually disappeared at the crucial moment. Li Wei had considered any possible accidents, but he never imagined that the sheep on the leash would run away.

Xu Daoqing, who was in charge of keeping an eye on the Tumian dog, said with a solemn expression: "It's my fault. It was my dereliction of duty. I accept all punishments."

"It's my fault, I was the one staring at him at the time."

The scholar Zhao Tang sighed deeply: "Everything will be done according to military regulations! I will accept any punishment."

"Is now the time to hold someone accountable? The key is to bring him back," Tang Wanzhou said.

“All the sentry spirits that could be dispatched have been sent out. The Cave Ruins Camp has a drop of his blood, which can be used to track his faint aura; he cannot escape.”

The pipa player wore a white robe of the Shaoyang Guard and a golden mask that covered the lower half of her face. A sharp and powerful purplish-red lightning mark was drawn between her fair and jade-like eyebrows, while her eyes were charming and full of tenderness.

She was born into an unorthodox sect, rarely spoke, and was quite distant from everyone. Li Weiyi still doesn't know her real name.

With a pipa slung over her back and long hair cascading down her thighs, she possessed a tall and slender figure, exuding a powerful aura amidst her alluring charm, indicating a remarkably high level of cultivation. The fullness of her breasts was second only to Qing Zijin, whose large breasts seemed disproportionate to her slightly plump figure and delicate features.

After listening to Liu Ye's telepathic explanation, Li Weiyi quickly understood the cause and effect.

Originally, according to Mo Duanfeng and Bai Chuan's plan, they intended for Shaoyang Si to enter the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins from near the rainforest habitat. They planned to have Tu Mian Gou deliver this message to Chu Yutian, luring Chu Yutian and the Taiyin Sect there.

The two of them secretly followed, waiting for Chu Yutian to fall into their trap and reveal himself so they could kill him.

Now, as planned, Tumian Gou has indeed sent out the message.

But the person has disappeared!

This morning, Xu Daoqing went to Yuyu City to purchase supplies and asked the scholar Zhao Tang to keep an eye on them.

Everything was normal until the time of departure. Zhao Tang, who had been guarding outside the Tu Mian Dog Cave, called out repeatedly but received no response. So he broke through the formation and rushed into the cave, only to find that it was already empty.

Zhao Tang felt guilty: "He only managed to escape for three hours at most! At noon, I even went into the cave and talked to him about some secrets of the ancient kingdom of the Year Ruins."

“He must have discovered something during his conversation with you, realized he had been exposed, and that’s why he ran away,” Chi Haohan snorted.

Zhao Tang tried hard to recall every word he had said, and perhaps he had really made a mistake somewhere. He was in pain and knew that he had made a big mistake.

All the previous preparations and plans were in vain.

Mo Duanfeng tried hard to suppress his anger and prevent himself from exploding: "With the help of the ancient kingdom of the Ruins of Time, Chu Yutian will soon be able to break the fourth immortality lock. If we do not get rid of him quickly, once he breaks through the realm and becomes a Great Immortal... you all should pray for your own good fortune."

Wherever there are people, there are social classes.

Throughout, only the third-realm martial artists present had a voice, each of them powerful and far surpassing the others. Among them, Mo Duanfeng, Bai Chuan, and Tang Wanzhou held the most sway.

The youngest, including Li Weiyi, silently obeyed, not daring to interrupt. Any words they uttered were insignificant; the third-realm experts viewed them no differently than children.

But given the current special circumstances, it's natural to seize the opportunity to compete.

Changyu Sword spoke first: "This may not be a bad thing! The ancient kingdom of the Ruins of Time is vast and expansive, with a distance of more than 100,000 miles between north and south, and its borders stretch for hundreds of thousands of miles."

“We can change our entry point now. As long as Chu Yutian doesn’t know where we’re coming from, sending a dozen or so people in is like sending a dozen drops of water into the ocean.”

"We are going to seek opportunities and cultivate, so why must we fight the Taiyin Sect first? Shouldn't we also eliminate potential threats like the Demon Kingdom and the Demon Race first, since they also possess the Time Void God Token?"

Li Weiyi said, "I also opposed the initial actions, but correcting the mistake now is actually a good thing."

Bai Chuan stood with the pipa player, glancing casually at Chang Yujian and Li Weiyi. He was initially too lazy to pay them any attention, but after thinking for a moment, he couldn't help but say, "Different cultivation levels lead to different ways of thinking. You are at the first level of cultivation, so you can't play any role or gain any benefit in a battle at this level. Therefore, you don't want to take any risks."

"Not taking risks means that under our protection, we can enjoy the benefits of entering the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins with a clear conscience."

"But dealing with Chu Yutian is a responsibility that rests on the shoulders of us powerful individuals. If Chu Yutian finds us first in the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins, it will be us who deal with him, not you."

"When Mo Duanfeng and I left Taixu Camp and Zulong Camp, we made a pledge to kill Chu Yutian. Were we doing this for ourselves? We were doing it to help the Sentinel Spirit Army regain the face that your Dongxu Camp had lost."

The entire teleportation hall fell silent.

Li Weiyi and Changyujian exchanged a glance, and the latter gently shook her head.

Mo Duanfeng looked at Tang Wanzhou: "Saint Si, what do you say? Tu Mian Gou definitely can't escape. Even if he does, he doesn't know about Bai Chuan and me, and he won't have time to send a message to Chu Yutian. We can continue to enter the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins from the rainforest habitat as originally planned, wait for the enemy to tire themselves out, and kill them in one fell swoop."

Bai Chuan withdrew his gaze from Li Weiyi and Chang Yujian, regaining his calm and composure: "If we don't kill Chu Yutian first, we will be under constant tension and pressure in the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins, and our cultivation will be much less effective."

Tang Wanzhou looked at the group of Shaoyang Guards in the hall and noticed that over the past three days, some of them had been subtly won over by Mo Bai and his companion.

She stood up abruptly, her tone leaving no room for argument: "Since you two have asked me, then I'll have to make the decision!"

"Change the plan. Reselect the location to enter the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins. This location will not be decided in advance. Everyone, follow me. We will not give the enemy any chance to anticipate." Mo Duanfeng and Bai Chuan frowned, their chests heaving with anger. They could only feel helpless, a deep sense of powerlessness in their hearts. They secretly hated the Cave Ruins Camp for being such a bunch of idiots, actually letting a Taiyin Envoy escape right under their noses.

Executing the original plan now would indeed be much riskier, and they wouldn't be able to insist on it.

The group waited in the teleportation hall for two days.

Tang Wanzhou forbade anyone from going out.

Messages kept coming back, but none of them reported the capture of Tu Mian Gou.

Mo Duanfeng and Bai Chuan sat in chairs, closing their eyes to rest, but gradually found it difficult to maintain a calm state of mind.

Mo Duanfeng slammed his hand on the table and said, “Holy Master, it’s not that I’m in a bad mood, it’s just that I really can’t wait any longer. If we wait any longer, Chu Yutian will break through to the next realm in the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins. The difference between realms is like heaven and earth. How much longer do we have to wait? If your Shaoyang Division doesn’t dare to go, fine, please hand over the Time Ruins Divine Token to us, and we will go ourselves.”

Li Weiyi could see that Tang Wanzhou was under immense pressure, having to withstand the coercion from Mo Duanfeng and Bai Chuan while also being responsible for the lives of all the Shaoyang Guards. Normally decisive and swift in her actions, she was this time extremely cautious and patient.

"Wait a second."

Tang Wanzhou stood at the entrance of the teleportation hall, as if waiting for someone.

Tu Nanfeng and Yuan Jingsan, the new recruit instructors of Dongxu Camp, arrived at the teleportation hall, and Tang Wanzhou immediately stepped forward to pay his respects.

After the three exchanged greetings, Tang Wanzhou walked towards the spatial teleportation array: "Everyone, let's go."

……

"Wow!"

The light from the teleportation array faded.

Li Weiyi walked out of the platform with the others, looked around, and found the scene in front of him to be very familiar. It was the main outpost that had to be passed through on the way to the Yecheng outpost.

"Instructor Tu, I'm leaving this to you. Our whereabouts are top secret," Tang Wanzhou said.

Tu Nanfeng nodded gently.

For the next period of time, he would be stationed at the main outpost to prevent anyone from leaking the whereabouts of the Lesser Yang Division. Although he felt that this Holy Division was being overly cautious!

Led by Tang Wanzhou, Mo Duanfeng, and Bai Chuan, the group rode their lost soul beasts and officially entered the dark and cold Netherworld of the Dead, heading towards the southern border of the ancient kingdom of the Ruins of Time, thousands of miles away.

Yuan Jingsan was a Holy Spirit Master of the Fourth Realm, and he was walking at the very back of the group. He was invited by Tang Wanzhou to help cover up the group's presence.

Three days later, the group finally saw the legendary Belt of Withering and Flourishing.

Endless darkness, barren mountains, and vast stretches of red earth, devoid of any sign of life.

A grayish-white cloud appeared in the field of vision, running from east to west.

Connecting the ground to the sky, the clouds inside are constantly in motion, emitting a faint glow and giving a sense of grandeur.

At the forefront of the group, Tang Wanzhou did not immediately take out the Time Void God Token to enter the Withering and Flourishing Zone, but instead continued to move to the right.

Li Weiyi rode a camel-shaped soul beast, sketching runes in the teleportation hall and refining runes upon entering the Netherworld. Everyone felt he was overly tense and under immense pressure.

Some people think that he was embarrassed by Shirakawa's words and suffered a blow to his heart, so he was cramming for help at the last minute.

Changyu Sword rode the soul beast and caught up with Li Weiyi. Seeing that he had finished drawing a talisman and put it away, she smiled and transmitted her voice: "You weren't really provoked, were you?"

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

Changyu said, "In terms of talent and endowment, the two of us are by no means inferior to him. What we lack is only time. This time, entering the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins is our opportunity to catch up with him. I have already made a vow in my heart that when I come out of the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins, I must challenge him and at least draw with him."

Li Weiyi hadn't expected him to be referring to this matter, and didn't take it to heart at all, so she laughed and said, "You're really determined; you can definitely do it."

Changyu Sword gestured for Li Weiyi to look ahead.

Li Weiyi followed the gaze of Changyu Sword and saw Bai Chuan and Pipa Girl walking side by side, enveloped in magical energy, chatting and laughing, appearing to be very close.

On the other side, Lu Qing and Qiu Cheng followed Mo Duanfeng, half a step behind, as if they were humbly seeking his guidance on their cultivation questions.

Changyu Sword transmitted its voice: "You can see it now, everyone is looking for a backer."

Li Weiyi pretended not to notice: "No, we were just having normal conversations and getting to know each other. As for that pipa player, her cultivation level should be no less than Master Xu's. She's one of the top in Shaoyang Guard. How could she possibly see Bai Chuan as her backer?"

Changyu Sword said, "Brother Weiyi, are you pretending not to know, or are you really not aware? Just because you're all in the Longevity Realm, does that mean you're all giants? Just because you're all in the Third Realm, does that mean you're all equals? Do you believe that even if you're all in the Third Realm, if Chu Yutian orders any Taiyin Envoy to kneel, that Taiyin Envoy must kneel?"

"You must understand that as long as the other party has the power to kill you, and you have no strength to escape, no means to counter or threaten the other party, the difference in your status is no different from that between a master and a slave."

"The status of martial artists in the Longevity Realm comes from the value we possess. We are the Sentinel Spirit Army, and we have value in fighting against the Taiyin Sect and the Netherworld of the Dead. Therefore, we can gain status, and no one dares to easily touch us."

“I am the pride of the Chang family. You have the support of the Grand Palace Master, which is also an invisible force to deter our opponents. As long as we don’t cause trouble, we are essentially wearing a suit of armor that even a superhuman might not be able to penetrate.”

"But once we enter the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins, these values ​​and the invisible power to deter others will be infinitely weakened, leaving us to rely solely on our own strength to deal with various dangers. Many things will change!"

Li Weiyi nodded slightly and asked, "Brother Chang, why don't you find a powerful backer?"

Changyu Sword smiled but remained silent.
