The Primordial Law

Chapter 585 People’s hearts are different
Within a radius of a hundred miles in the Netherworld, the formations of the three mountains and one valley have all been activated.

Various mysterious array patterns, like stars, floated in mid-air, on the cliff edge, and at the mouth of the valley. The defensive barrier, like layers of thin gauze on a young girl's body, hung between heaven and earth, separating the inside and outside of the valley.

The precipitous peak on the right has collapsed in large sections, with the falling soil and boulders blocking the valley entrance.

For martial artists in the Longevity Realm, entering and exiting is not difficult, but this has created a gap in the defensive formation of the Brahma Leaf Valley, resulting in a weak area.

That was the previously unknown powerful being, who unleashed a gong-shaped weapon in the darkness, flew across several miles, and launched a surprise attack to achieve victory.

Fortunately, Tang Wanzhou's perception had been covering the entire Vanye Valley Netherworld for the past two months, allowing him to detect and defeat the first wave of powerful enemies who arrived with the heavy weapon: Chen Envoy "Qingzao" and Mao Envoy "Huo Tianming". Following closely behind them were twenty or thirty deceased marquises who emerged from the ground.

Very dangerous.

If Shaoyang Division were to allow the enemy to charge in unprepared, destroy the formation, and capture hostages, then Fanye Valley would not be a trap, let alone an opportunity to annihilate the enemy using formations.

They will only end up either dead or captured.

It can be said that among all the people in the valley, only Shirakawa was fully prepared and knew that the Taiyin Cult would arrive soon.

But the sudden attack had still caught him off guard, and his reaction was several breaths slower than Tang Wanzhou's. He couldn't help but feel a lingering fear. If it had been Chu Yutian, who had just broken through the formation, and the many powerful spirit warriors led by the Taiyin Envoy, wouldn't they have been defeated instantly?

Unbeknownst to him, it was Li Weiyi who quietly left the valley to pursue the spy, forcing the Taiyin Sect to launch a surprise attack without being fully prepared.

The Taiyin Sect was also caught off guard.

They clearly received the message that "Tang Wanzhou ordered that no one should leave the valley before Mo Duanfeng returns."

Shirakawa stood at the valley entrance, atop the collapsed earth and boulders, bearing the weight of responsibility to single-handedly guard the breach in the formation.

However, when the members of Shaoyang Division in the valley learned the truth, they were all filled with righteous indignation.

Chi Haohan stood below, facing Bai Chuan directly, his huge, bell-like eyes wide open, and said in a sarcastic tone, "Is this also part of your plan?"

Bai Chuan frowned as he spoke and analyzed, "Mo Duanfeng used a whistle to send a message. He and the Taiyin Sect enemies he attracted should, in theory, still be thousands of miles away."

"The sudden appearance of the Chen Envoy and the Mao Envoy can only mean one thing: there must be a spy from the Taiyin Sect among you."

"Before we entered the Vanye Valley Netherworld, spies secretly passed on the information. That's why the enemy was able to hide nearby without us noticing and launch a sudden attack, catching us completely off guard."

"The problem lies with your Shaoyang Division."

"Is Tu Mian Gou really Hai Shi? How was he able to disappear without a trace?"

Having figured this out, Shirakawa secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

His confidence surged, and he took the initiative, standing tall and proud, scanning all the Shaoyang Guards present with a scrutinizing gaze: "My plan with Brother Mo was flawless, yet it was all ruined because of you. Who will give me an explanation? Who exactly passed on the message?"

Seeing his behavior, the scholar Zhao Tang felt a surge of anger: "Flawless? If it weren't for the unknown circumstances that forced the Taiyin Sect to launch an immediate surprise attack, what would we do if, while Mo Duanfeng was leading the enemy back to the valley and the valley's formation was activated to receive him, the hidden enemies underground suddenly attacked and charged in wave after wave?

Changyu Sword said, "Mr. Zhao has not yet gotten to the crucial point! I can only say that it is fortunate that Mo Duanfeng has not returned yet."

"Since the spy is among us, he must have already passed on the news that Mo Duanfeng went to scout and Bai Chuan stayed behind. Will Mo Duanfeng be able to return? And if he does return, will it really be Mo Duanfeng? Why didn't Chu Yutian show up during the previous surprise attack?"

"Shirakawa, when you were carrying out your plan, did you consider that there might be a spy among us?"

Anyone could tell that Changyu Sword no longer held any respect for Mo Duanfeng and Bai Chuan.

These words caused countless people present to break out in a cold sweat.

Even Shirakawa was speechless.

After a brief silence, a dazzling light returned to Bai Chuan's eyes: "Rest assured, everyone, I have brought a great formation from my clan, which is sufficient to protect Fan Ye Valley without worry. But before that, we must first find the traitor within."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Bai Chuan rushed out like a ghost, circled behind Tang Wanzhou, grabbed Li Weiyi by the neck with one hand and seized Qing Zijin with the other: "Why is there a faint yin aura on you? I can't smell any human scent!"

Tang Wanzhou said, "The two of them are actually substitutes and puppets."

"Replacement puppet?"

Bai Chuan's eyes shone brightly as he channeled his magical energy into the two corpses, then tossed them aside and demanded, "What exactly happened? Where are their true forms?"

"We've already left the valley!"

Tang Wanzhou added, "If I'm not mistaken, it was Li Weiyi and Qing Zijin leaving the valley that alerted the Taiyin Sect's plans, forcing them to launch a surprise attack ahead of schedule."

As he said this, Tang Wanzhou raised his eyes and looked at the white light standing on the mountaintop.

The beautiful figure in the white light was none other than Nangong.

Tang Wanzhou suspected that Nangong had noticed something amiss outside the valley and deliberately let Qing Zijin leave, thus triggering a series of subsequent reactions.

Nangong should know very well that Qing Zijin alone cannot leave Fanye Valley and will be stopped by Tang Wanzhou, who is guarding the valley entrance. However, Qing Zijin and Li Weiyi are very close, and by using Li Weiyi's relationship with Tang Wanzhou, she can leave the valley.

Given the relationship between Li Weiyi and Tang Wanzhou, how could she not tell Tang Wanzhou the hidden story behind it?
This move serves three purposes: it allows them to probe the enemy's whereabouts, inform Tang Wanzhou of the situation, and avoids offending Bai Chuan and Mo Duanfeng too much.

If that's true, then this woman's cultivation and cunning are terrifying beyond measure.

Bai Chuan's eyes were sharp as he said in a deep voice, "Tang Wanzhou! It was you who gave the order that no one is allowed to leave the valley."

"Their cultivation is too weak. They can't play any role in today's crisis. Rather than letting them stay and wait to die, it's better to let them out. Perhaps there's still a glimmer of hope." Nangong's voice drifted down from the mountaintop.

Bai Chuan, of course, knew that it was Nangong who had leaked his and Mo Duanfeng's plan: "They're gone, who will preside over the formation?" Li Weiyi was slightly mistaken. Bai Chuan told Nangong the plan not because he wanted her help in setting up the formation, but because he saw that Nangong had a great connection with the ancient kingdom of Suiyuexu, and he had also noticed something from the footprints outside the ancient city ruins. Therefore, he wanted to use this opportunity to establish a relationship and seek great benefits.

Nangong said, "Hoping that two first-realm Holy Spirit Mind Masters will preside over the formation? There is no shortage of Holy Spirit Mind Masters in the valley. Yan Zhiruo is a Holy Spirit Mind Master at the peak of the first realm, Zhao Tang is a Holy Spirit Mind Master of the third realm, and you, Bai Chuan, are also a Holy Spirit Mind Master of the second realm. You are not a Holy Spirit Mind Master, so why bring the formation? We are all dual cultivators of mind and martial arts. Now that things have come to this, what is the point of continuing to hide our strengths?"

Yan Zhiruo was the pipa player.

All eyes turned to Zhao Tang, deeply shocked.

It should be noted that Zhao Tang's martial arts have also reached the third realm.

Yan Zhiruo gazed at the mountaintop with a charming and alluring look in her eyes: "Interesting. I can see through everyone else. But you, I really didn't expect you to cultivate martial arts."

Tang Wanzhou was already standing on the earth and rocks at the mouth of the valley, peering at the ghostly clouds overhead: "Now, please calm your anger. After we leave the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins, we will inform the Sentry Master and handle everything according to military regulations. The enemy is about to attack, and we must stop our suspicions and infighting and get through this difficult time first."

"I will issue an order: once the traitor makes a move, all of us must cease all external attacks. Even if we die in the Valley of Brahma, we must tear him to pieces and give him no chance of survival."

Zhao Tang was the first to agree: "Excellent! Only in this way can we make the traitors wary and dare not act rashly."

Tang Wanzhou kept observing everyone's eyes, but couldn't detect any flaws.

No clues were found.

The spy's cunning far exceeded her expectations.

It's not just a bunch of traitors; the people in the Valley of the Brahma Leaf are full of contradictions, each one is arrogant, strong-willed and independent, and each has their own thoughts. How can they be united as one?

If she possessed the cultivation of the third realm, and her power was so great that everyone revered her as if she were a god, how could such a situation have arisen? Mo Duanfeng and Bai Chuan dared to act so recklessly precisely because they were stronger than her.

Tang Wanzhou cleared his mind of distractions and regained his fighting spirit.

Even if a strong wind rises, I will ride it and traverse ten thousand miles.

The third immortality lock must be broken down inch by inch in the battle, starting from this day's battle.

……

Like the twelve Lesser Yang Guards, the Twelve Taiyin Envoys were mostly top-tier masters in the Dao Seed Realm, each possessing formidable combat strength within their respective realms.

Luo Pingdan's martial arts are at the peak of the first stage of the Longevity Realm, and his mental power cultivation has reached the middle stage of the second stage. He has cultivated a special spiritual light, and even when facing a cultivator of the third stage, he has the confidence to escape.

This is why Li Weiyi had previously terrified him, leading him to describe him as "strange".

"Wow!"

Among the seven puppet war corpses standing beside Qing Zijin, the strongest one, a white-haired desiccated corpse who had reached the sixth level of the Longevity Realm in his lifetime, flashed out, his claws wrapped in magical energy, moving like the wind, shattering the spiritual light and array plate that Luo Pingdan had casually unleashed.

"What monster?"

Luo Pingdan sensed danger and quickly retreated.

The white-haired, desiccated corpse's outstretched claw struck the bronze staff. The magical energy emanating from the claw, like a gaseous wall, bombarded Luo Pingdan.

"Oh!"

Luo Ping stumbled backward, losing his balance and nearly dropping his staff. Blood gushed from the wound on his chest.

"You Sentinel Army also use living, immortal beings to create corpses?"

Luo Ping could tell that the mummified corpse was full of vital energy and contained a great longevity elixir. While retreating to avoid it, he quickly calmed himself down.

He knew the weaknesses of the Corpse Controlling Technique.

As long as the spiritual thread between the corpse controller and the battle corpse is severed, and then the corpse controller is killed, then even if your battle corpse is strong, it will be nothing but a decoration.

This mummified corpse doesn't seem to contain any battle spirit or soul, so it's probably not a living corpse.

"Lie down."

Luo Ping's inner light, like waves, surged outwards, creating a hurricane that continuously shattered the spiritual energy released by Qing Zijin.

"Boom! Boom!"

Two more ancient, mummified corpses rushed out from beside Qing Zijin.

The two corpses extended their palms forward, erecting two walls of magical energy, one green and one blue, to resist Luo Pingdan's massive wave of spiritual light.

"boom!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the white-haired mummy flew out like a cannonball and punched Luo Pingdan.

Luo Ping spat out blood, his body flew backward, and crashed into the riverbank, creating a huge gash.

He lay on his back, his eyes bulging as he stared at the three ancient war corpses flying towards him. His scalp tingled, and his understanding of the world was overturned.

Where did it come from?

The two weakest first-realm Holy Spirit Mind Masters of the Shaoyang Division were hidden too well, and the Taiyin Sect was seriously misled by intelligence.
