The Primordial Law

Chapter 599 The Sentinel
This trick again?
Li Weiyi's eyes were strange. Thinking of Xie Wumian when he was dying, he said, "Jingzhe? You're not going to tell me that you are a spy of the Sentinel Spirit Army, are you? Hai Shi Jingzhen is a member of the Taixu Clan and is hiding in the Shaoyang Division. It is not difficult for your Taiyin Sect to know my seasonal titles. Just like we know your Twelve Taiyin Envoys very well."

"All the information from the Twelve Taiyin Envoys was relayed back to the Sentinel Army by me."

Huo Tianming, wanting to prove himself, added, "In the previous exchange, if you had used all your mental power to control the ninety-three Heavenly Sword Talismans, you could have suppressed me, and might even have injured me."

“But just now, most of your mental power was used to resist and neutralize Hong Hou’s mental attack. Your control over the Heavenly Sword Talisman was actually very weak. It wouldn’t be difficult for me to break through it.”

"If I join forces with Honghou, do you still have a chance of winning?"

It seems he wanted to prove that he had the strength to break the suppression of the Heavenly Sword Talisman.

As Huo Tianming stared at Li Weiyi, he raised his right hand and swung it back and forth like a dragon or snake wagging its tail.

The surrounding land was shrouded in swirling clouds and mist.

A beginner-level fifth-level Daoist palm print, "Cloud Sea Breeze Palm," was formed and lightly struck towards Li Weiyi.

"Boom!"

Hundreds of thousands of longevity scriptures and magical energy intertwined to form a hurricane, which shattered the black lake within a radius of several miles into water vapor, and even shaved off a layer of the ground, making it appear sunken.

Li Weiyi remained vigilant, his sword flashing, yet he remained calm and composed in the face of change.

Huo Tianming's control over his palm strikes and Taoist techniques was exquisite.

Li Weiyi was clearly at the center of the Taoist attack, but when the palm force surged in, it automatically split in two, only lifting his hair and clothes, like a gentle breeze.

Mastering the power of "non-attack" is more difficult than mastering the power of "attack".

At this moment, Huo Tianming's combat power was in no way inferior to Tang Wanzhou's two years ago.

Moreover, the continuous palm force was used with ease and naturalness, clearly indicating that there was still some force being held back.

Huo Tianming withdrew his magical energy and the Longevity Scripture, and said with a smug look, "To become one of the Twelve Taiyin Envoys, I suppose I'm not lacking in ability, am I?"

"It's more than just having some weight; Mao Shi is being too modest."

Li Weiyi was beginning to believe that Huo Tianming was a spy for the Sentinel Army; otherwise, he wouldn't have stood by and watched Hong Hou be killed. His actions at this moment were also exposing his true strength, bringing nothing but harm.

However, Li Weiyi had another concern in his heart. He pretended to be deep in thought and looked at the two Ghost Lords who had been killed by the seven Phoenix-winged Moth Kings.

All seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Kings possessed peak cultivation at the first realm, capable of single-handedly fighting second-realm experts. Among them, the second phoenix's Soul-Devouring talent, the third phoenix's Golden Crow Flame, and the fourth phoenix's lightning released from its eyes were all effective against ghosts and spirits.

After the two ghostly figures exploded, a large amount of green karmic fire poured out from their bodies and burned on the ground.

Li Weiyi took out the crimson gourd and handed it to Dafeng, instructing it to collect it.

The second phoenix is ​​devouring souls, trying to break through to the second realm before the first and seventh phoenixes.

"Among the Twelve Yin Envoys, could there be two Sentinel Soldiers lurking in the shadows? How can I possibly believe that?"

After careful consideration, Li Weiyi said this.

The reason for worrying about Huo Tianming was to test Xie Wumian's life or death and his true identity.

Huo Tianming was quite anxious and said no more: "I don't care whether Xie Wumian is a spy for the Sentinel Army or not, and I don't expect you to trust me so easily. You just need to deliver the message."

"Tell Shaoyang Weishengsi that the Taiyin Sect is continuously bringing in the armies of the dead from Yecheng and the Seven Grievances Plains south of the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins, so that she can prepare in advance."

"Whether you choose to evacuate immediately or secretly join forces with all living beings to launch a preemptive attack is up to you."

This news came like a bolt from the blue!
Li Weiyi was greatly shocked: "What is Chu Yutian planning to do by summoning a large army?"

Huo Tianming shook his head slightly: "It seems to be related to some aspects of the ancient kingdom of the Year Ruins itself. I haven't figured out the specific reasons yet. But dealing with you all in the meantime is inevitable."

"The delivery of the Time Stone was part of Chu Yutian's request to borrow troops from Yecheng, which was one of the conditions proposed by the other party."

"Furthermore, I heard that decades ago, during the last weak cycle of the flourishing and decay, some departed spirits discovered the unusual situation of the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins, so they stayed and did not leave. With the help of the Underworld, no one knows what level they have cultivated to, and Chu Yutian has been searching for them."

"But these souls seem to have vanished into thin air; the Taiyin Sect has yet to find a single one of them."

"In short, if you have any Taoist techniques bestowed upon you by your elders, do not use them lightly. The real life-or-death battle may not yet have arrived."

Li Weiyi and Huo Tianming simultaneously sensed something and looked north.

From the north, a sharp aura rushed in at breakneck speed, like a dazzling celestial sword traversing a thousand miles of land, its imposing presence terrifying.

Extremely fast.

Even Haruhachi, who excels in body techniques and magic, pales in comparison.

"It's Qi Jianru from the Du'e Temple. He came in with the Demon Kingdom's team. He's been following me all the way, looking for an opportunity to strike, thinking I hadn't noticed. He must have sensed the battle fluctuations and that's why he rushed over so quickly."

Huo Tianming's expression was solemn, knowing the consequences of his identity being exposed: "Qi Jianru has already broken the third Immortal Lock and reached the early stage of the third realm. His combat power is far superior to yours and mine. If he can raise his cultivation to the critical point of breaking the fourth Immortal Lock in the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins, and then break through to the Great Immortal Realm after leaving, he will most likely be directly appointed as a true disciple, using his cultivation advantage to overwhelm other competitors."

"Attack me with all your might, don't hold back."

After speaking, Huo Tianming picked up the unconscious beautiful Corpse Marquis, took a few steps, and used the fourth-level, fully-developed movement technique, Flying Cloud Thirteen Crossings.

"Shh!"

With a sway of his body, thirteen Huo Tianmings appeared on the ground.

Each figure, initially a mile or two apart, instantly appeared twenty miles away. Their escape techniques were incredibly skillful.

Even for those in the fourth realm of immortality, pursuing such a feat is no easy task.

"What amazing escape technique."

Li Weiyi put the seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Queens into his insect bag, activated his magic energy to transform his governor's robe into a purple mist, and used spatial teleportation to chase after them for more than ten miles, shouting: "You're about to die, and you still want to escape?"

"Boom!" The Purple Heaven Thunder Seal flew out, attacking from a distance.

A moment later, a bright sword light pierced the air and landed on the earth covered with stones of time. The young figure, as heroic and upright as a sword immortal, gradually became clear from the blur.

The sky turned purple, and the sound of thunder and lightning could be heard.

Qi Jianru examined the traces of battle on the ground and was shocked. Then, he chased the enemy for a hundred miles along the scorched earth, where he found bloodstains.

He had already detected the aura of the Purple Heaven Thunder Seal.

But I don't believe that Li Wei alone could accomplish such a feat.

It should be noted that Huo Tianming and Hong Hou are both at the peak of the third realm, and the Earth Dragon Corpse Marquis is also a strong person in the third realm. Facing these three strong people at the same time, even with his abilities, he doesn't have much confidence in winning.

Just as Qi Jianru was about to continue chasing forward, a blood-red ghostly figure, as huge as a mountain, emerged from the darkness.

The air was thick with the stench of blood.

A chilling wind swept across the entire field.

Qi Jianru's gaze sharpened as he sensed a chilling killing intent.

Blood Mountain Marquis, who had rushed over from the Netherworld of the Heavenly Capital River, mistook Qi Jianru for the one who had intercepted the escort team. He charged forward, his face contorted with rage, and roared, "Human, you're courting death!"

……

South of the ancient kingdom of Ruins of Time lies the realm of the departed spirits, centered around the ancient city of Ye, a place where the souls of the unjustly killed, wronged, and vengeful are returned.

Among the hundred records of intelligence gathered by Dongxu Camp, the "Records of Lord Yecheng" ranks high, indicating a multitude of experts.

The Four-Eared Ghost Monkey Marquis, who fought alongside the Jade Corpse Marquis in Baichuan, came from the ancient city of Ye.

The Lord of Yecheng is an even more powerful being than the Holy Infant, and is the strongest deceased spirit in the area surrounding Lingxiao Realm.

Rumor has it that the five ghosts of the Seven Grievances Plain must obey the orders of the Lord of Ye City.

Li Weiyi had served as a sentry at the Yecheng outpost for three months and knew the approximate location of the ancient Yecheng. Therefore, he headed straight south, searching along the withered and flourishing belt at the edge of the ancient kingdom of the Ruins of Time, looking for traces of the army.

No matter how true Huo Tianming's words were, he had to verify them himself.

Endless darkness, the moonlight of time becomes extremely faint in this remote land. The ancient kingdom of Time Ruins itself is a place touched by the moonlight of time, drawing its own borders in the realm of the dead.

The whole world was quiet, with only the howling sandstorm blowing incessantly.

In an instant, all traces were buried.

This resulted in Li Wei searching for several days and traveling 20,000 miles, but finding nothing.

Even if there truly were an army of the dead, scattered across such a boundless wilderness, finding them would be as difficult as climbing to the heavens, no different from searching for a needle in a haystack, if they used even the slightest means of concealment.

"Could Huo Tianming be lying to me?"

Li Weiyi gazed at the gray-white band of decay and prosperity in the distance, preparing to cross it and head to the outpost to send the sentry spirit army to investigate the ancient city of Ye.

A thought suddenly occurred to him, and he remembered a place.

The Valley of Vanye, the Netherworld.

That place is only six thousand miles away from the border's edge, the zone between decaying and flourishing lands.

If the Taiyin Sect has important figures who are guiding the army of the deceased, they will definitely need a place to station their troops.

The Netherworld of Vanye Valley has been the site of a fierce and bloody battle; who would dare to return to investigate? Nor would there be any point in returning.

The area has well-preserved defensive formations, making it an ideal place to station and hide troops.

Two years later, Li Weiyi returned to the Netherworld of Fanye Valley, hiding in a rocky area, gazing at the three towering and majestic peaks in the distance.

The cracks and damage to the earth caused by the collision of the ritual implements have yet to be repaired by the wind and sand.

Suddenly, Li Weiyi narrowed his eyes and saw a corpse hanging on a flagpole outside the valley entrance.

The Shaoyang guard's robes were tattered, his hair was like straw, and his body had weathered into a shriveled and grayish-black state.

It's Lu Qing!
Li Weiyi felt a mix of emotions.

Lu Qing's bold words when the deputy sentry gave them the freedom to decide whether to enter the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins still resonated clearly in their ears.

He was the number one person of his generation in a certain realm, enjoying countless praises and favors, but his life came to an abrupt end at the first stage of the Longevity Realm, without the future that everyone had hoped for.

"Boom!"

A hurricane swept across the open ground in front of the valley entrance, whipping up sand and dust.

Amidst the sandstorm, dark clouds and mist billowed out.

A fully armored ghost cavalry unit emerged from the dark clouds and mist in perfect formation.

"Clang, clang."

The standard armor, swords, and bows and arrows could obviously be used to form battle formations and unleash extraordinary combat power.

They were disciplined and exuded a menacing aura. Whether soldiers or spirit beast mounts, their eyes burned with green karmic flames, giving off an immense sense of oppression.

Li Weiyi, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, immediately opened her eyes and stared in that direction.

A black chariot emerged from the dark clouds and mist.
