The Primordial Law

Chapter 600 Captain
The black chariot was parked in front of the valley entrance.

Inside the valley, ghost soldiers emerged, bowing and reporting something.

The person inside the vehicle issued commands to all the ghost soldiers via telepathy. They remained completely hidden, maintaining a mysterious air.

"They are actually guiding the ghost soldiers of Yecheng."

"To summon the Yin soldiers, one must use the Time Void God Token. Such an important item would surely be entrusted to the most trustworthy expert by Chu Yutian. Who could it be? Qingzao? Or perhaps Luo Yinji, who has yet to appear?"

Li Weiyi stared intently, not missing a single detail.

It was discovered that the two leaders of this ghost cavalry were even burning with karmic fire on their armor. Their ghostly bodies were several meters tall, and their aura was extremely powerful. They were clearly formidable figures from the "Records of Lord Yecheng".

Suddenly, as if sensing something, the two looked toward where Li Weiyi was hiding.

Li Weiyi's expression changed drastically, realizing that the prolonged gaze had alerted the other party. He quickly cleaned up the marks on the ground, then used the wind to conceal himself and drift away.

Fortunately, the distance was far enough that the other party was unsure if someone was watching them. They only did a quick check before turning back.

Inside the black chariot, a voice of unknown gender rang out: "Do not linger at the valley entrance. Lead your troops into the valley immediately. I still need to go and guide the next batch of troops."

……

After leaving the Vanye Valley Netherworld, Li Weiyi immediately headed towards the border of the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins, intending to report the matter to the Sentinel Army first.

Even without the Timeless God's Token, one can still traverse the Zone of Withering and Flourishing, but the lifespan will be reduced by even more.

If all else fails, you can reconcile your statements with Tang Wanzhou afterward and say that the Time Void God Token was on him at the time, which can cover up the truth.

Using the time-manipulation power of the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish, Li Weiyi stepped out of the Zone of Withering and Flourishing, and immediately blew his whistle. A moment later, from the distant darkness, a whistle responded, indicating that it was someone waiting outside to meet them.

After reporting the situation, Li Weiyi returned to the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins, preparing to set off for Chun City immediately.

In the distance, he saw again the ruins of the ancient city where they had temporarily settled after entering the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins.

Like a colossal beast abandoned by time, it lies quietly on the horizon.

The ancient city ruins are only 500 miles from the Desolate Belt and are close to the ancient city of Ye. In the prosperous period of the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins, it would definitely have been an important border town defending against the vengeful spirits and vengeful ghosts in the south.

Thinking back to the footprints she found, Li Weiyi still felt it was too much of a coincidence.

And so, as if by some strange twist of fate, I found myself once again outside the ruins of the ancient city.

The city wall is severely weathered, with only the innermost earthen mound and half-exposed boulders remaining, like a giant beast whose skin has been peeled off, revealing its skeleton.

The city was even more dilapidated, with houses long since collapsed, leaving only crumbling ruins. On some of these walls, ancient paintings could still be faintly seen.

Outside the city, the footprints that Li Weiyi had initially discovered had disappeared.

It is unclear whether they disappeared naturally or were removed by human intervention.

"The wind here is very weak."

Li Weiyi entered the city, releasing strands of spiritual light from between his brows to probe the entire ruins. Earth spirits also emanated from him to investigate the underground.

He stopped beside an ancient well.

It is a dry well, and the surrounding stones have been polished smooth by thousands of years.

Li Weiyi squatted down and was surprised to find that moss was growing on the bottom of the stones surrounding the edge of the dry well.

The moss is sparse and shallow, indicating that it has only grown in the last few months.

It's also possible that it was cleaned up a few months ago.

In the lifeless and desolate ruins of the ancient city, this faint sign of life seemed all too strange and abrupt.

After a moment's hesitation, Li Weiyi jumped into the dry well.

The dry well was very deep, dozens of meters deep, and pitch black.

"Hey!"

A spiritual fire ignited in his palm, illuminating the darkness.

Soon, Li Weiyi discovered moisture and traces of moss on the well wall, which were spreading up from below.

The inspiration was condensed into nerve fibers, which were then used to probe below the mud layer at the bottom of the well.

Suddenly.

When Li Weiyi heard a noise coming from the well above, his heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly looked up.

A withered head with disheveled white hair was perched on top, peering down and blocking the entire well opening. Its appearance was terrifying and horrifying. Li Weiyi returned to the top of the well.

Looking at the slender figure in blue standing not far away, and then at the mummified corpse beside him dressed in the robes of the Immortal Xia Sect, he patted his chest, let out a long breath, and complained, "Captain, do you know that you almost scared someone to death just now? Were you doing it on purpose?"

Qing Zijin stood gracefully four steps away, wearing a veil. Her jade-like neck was as slender and sexy as a white swan's, and her breasts were rounded and full. The white belt quickly cinched her waist, making her appear as delicate as a handful. Her lower body was also well-proportioned, and even without lifting her skirt, one could feel the astonishing length of her legs.

The thirteen mummified corpses, scattered in various locations within the ruins, evoke a sinister and ominous feeling, creating a stark contrast with the graceful, beautiful woman standing in the night.

She snorted coldly: "You completely concealed your aura, how would I know if the person in the well is friend or foe? It's good that I didn't bury you in the well."

Li Weiyi asked seriously, "How long did it take to arrive?"

Qing Zijin collected all the mummified corpses: "I just arrived! I remembered the footprints I found last time I passed by, so I was going to investigate, but I didn't expect to run into you. What are you doing here?"

"That's what you call fate, and I feel the same way."

Li Weiyi felt the coincidence was too much, so he asked, "Didn't we agree to meet in the Netherworld of the Heavenly Capital River? Where did you go? I waited for you there for two years, blowing the whistle countless times, thinking something had happened to you. When I went to investigate the Netherworld of the Brahma Leaf Valley before, I thought the flagpole was hanging for you. Do you know how worried I was during this time?"

"You waited for two years?"

Aoko-jin found it hard to believe.

Li Weiyi said, "Originally, I planned to go to Chuncheng with Nangong and Liuye, but considering your low cultivation level, lack of experience, and stubbornness, I was worried that you might die alone in the Tiandu River Underworld, or be captured by the Taiyin Sect and the Wraiths. I would regret it for the rest of my life. Why don't you come and join me while you're alive?"

Above Qing Zijin's veil, her eyes were icy cold: "You still have the nerve to say that? What kind of place did you arrange to meet? That day, after we parted, I had just arrived in the Netherworld of the Heavenly Capital River when I encountered the Marquis of the Lost Spirit and almost died there."

"After escaping, I could only hide in a remote underworld to recuperate. More than two months passed outside, and I thought I was safe enough to return to Van Ye Valley to investigate. But then... I saw Lu Qing... Li Weiyi, do you know who else is still alive?"

Li Weiyi said, "I only know Nangong, Liuye, and Shengsi. By the way, when you went to the Netherworld of Fanye Valley, did you find anything unusual?"

Qing Zijin said, "This is precisely why I passed through this place. I have been secretly observing for three days and found that a large number of commander-level Yin soldiers from the ancient Ye City have gathered there. They must have something on their minds. I don't know who else is still alive, nor do I know who to trust. I can only risk my life to break through the Withered and Flourishing Zone, leave first, and report the news to the higher authorities."

"We had the same thought, but after walking over, we felt afraid. We were afraid that the Holy Spirit's three-hundred-year lifespan wouldn't be able to withstand the power of time in the cycle of growth and decay." Li Weiyi said with a sincere, bitter smile.

Qing Zijin said, "How could it possibly cost us three hundred years of lifespan? Let's go out together. With our cultivation levels, it's too dangerous for us to stay in the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins."

Li Weiyi shook his head: "I was still hesitant before you came. Now that you're here, let's split up. You go out and report to the Sentinel Army, and I'll head to Chun City to find Saint Si and the others."

Qing Zijin stared at him for a long time, then slumped down by the well and sighed sadly, "I have absolutely no confidence in whether I can get through the Belt of Withering and Flourishing."

“Why don’t we go to Chuncheng together? We’ll fight together, we’ll leave together, and we’ll never abandon any Shaoyang Guard,” Li Weiyi said.

Qing Zijin said, "That's true..."

"somebody is coming!"

Li Weiyi's expression changed slightly. He exchanged a glance with Qing Zijin, and the two immediately jumped into the dry well.

Before going down into the well, Qing Zijin took out a talisman and stuck it on the edge of the well.

Suddenly, the entire dry well vanished without a trace, and it would be impossible to find it without close inspection.

It fell to the bottom of the well.

Qing Zijin noticed the moss on the well wall, examined it carefully, and asked softly, "Is this the anomaly you discovered earlier?"

Li Weiyi kept his eyes fixed on the well opening above him, very nervous. He circulated his magical energy to his ears and said, "Is your concealment talisman reliable? Let's not trap ourselves inside the well."

Qing Zijin rolled her eyes at him: "Your talent in mental power is very high, but in the art of talismans, you're far behind me, okay?"

"rustle!"

Two whooshing sounds entered the ancient city ruins, and the footsteps landed lightly on the ground.

The two were hundreds of feet away in the city area, but Li Weiyi could still picture in his mind how they landed and their next route.

They released their magical energy, searching and exploring everywhere.

"This is Yeyun Pass, a once important military stronghold in the southern part of the ancient kingdom of Ruins of Time. It once garrisoned a million soldiers and had countless formations. It is said that there is a spatial teleportation array set up inside the pass, so that top experts can be teleported here immediately in the event of war." A young voice rang out.

Another voice said, "Brother, do you think the Ancient Clan of Time bypassed the Zone of Decay and Flourishing using a spatial teleportation array? If it were that simple, why wouldn't the Demon Kingdom, the Temple of Crossing Calamities, the Demon Clan, and the Netherworld of the Dead do the same?"

"Who knows? Perhaps they think that the space teleportation array in the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins was destroyed by the Queen of Time before she died. In any case, all the special places on the border of the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins are worth exploring."

Immediately afterwards, the voice continued, "We have received news that the Ancient Clan of Time has experienced some abnormalities in the last hundred years. Several nameless experts have suddenly emerged, and some cultivators have also made sudden and great progress in their cultivation."

"The higher-ups speculate that the Ancient Clan of Time has secretly mastered the method of freely entering and leaving the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins. We must find out the truth this time. There will be generous rewards for finding any clues."

Two footsteps came from above, heading towards the ancient well.
