The Primordial Law

Chapter 601 The Strange Changes in the Ancient Well
Stare at the wellhead.

Li Weiyi's eyes were solemn as he gripped the Yellow Dragon Sword tightly, his internal energy circulating silently.

There are only five Time Ruins God Tokens in total.

The Sentinel Army, the Taiyin Sect, the Rice Palace, the Demon Clan, and the Demon Kingdom each possess one.

Judging from the conversation between the two people above, it mostly comes from Inamiya.

Li Weiyi has a deep-seated grudge against the Inamiya faction. In this desolate, ruined city, without sufficient strength to protect himself, he cannot fully trust even his own people, let alone martial arts practitioners from an opposing force.

Qing Zijin pressed her ear against the well wall, listening intently, her large eyes filled with confusion: "Why did they suddenly become quiet?"

"Although the dry well was hidden, we didn't have time to clean up the footprints and other traces. We thought they were just passing by in a hurry, but who would have thought they came here specifically to search for us? They've already found us!"

Li Weiyi showed no fear, his body enveloped in celestial radiance, which activated the governor's robes.

"Ow!"

A white mist dragon soul burst forth from the rank badge on the official's robe, heading straight for the well opening above, breaking through the concealment talisman.

In the ruins about twenty feet away from the ancient well, Yu Baoyuan and Yu Shouyi each opened a crimson eye between their brows, staring at the well opening, mobilizing their magical energy, and working together to activate a three-legged ancient cauldron.

They are the two strongest individuals under a hundred years old in the "Hun Yuan Palace," one of the five major palaces of the Rice Palace. They are born with three-eyed mysterious pupils and were accepted as disciples by Chao Ran at the Dao Seed Realm due to their exceptional talent. They wield the eighth-grade thousand-character artifact, the Void Bridge Cauldron.

"boom!"

The dragon soul suddenly soared into the sky, releasing a wisp of the aura of a martial arts emperor, sweeping across the entire ancient city ruins.

Yu Baoyuan and Yu Shouyi were both shocked and retreated rapidly, thinking they had encountered an unusual taboo of the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins.

The concealment spell lost its effect, and the wellhead of the ancient well became visible.

"Shh!"

Li Weiyi flew out closely behind Long Hun, landed on a nearby crumbling wall with his sword in hand, glanced at the two men, and said in a bold and unrestrained voice: "My two friends from Daogong, please don't make a move. We are on the same side. I am the former divine son of Lingxiao Daogong, and I have a deep friendship with Wu Hongling and the woman in purple from Shenyi Mountain."

The illusory bridge cauldron, suspended above Yu Baoyuan and Yu Shouyi's heads, had already revealed scriptures, radiating profound light, and had shrunk to the size of a water vat. If Li Weiyi had arrived even a moment later, he, Qing Zijin, and the entire ancient well would have been driven into the ground.

Yu Baoyuan and Yu Shouyi quickly regained their composure, exchanged a glance, and called out in unison, "Li Weiyi?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the young prodigy who defeated the true disciple Sheng Wulian was a well-known figure among the martial arts practitioners of the Inami faction.

In the battle of the East Sea, even the true disciple, Si Wuyan, was killed. Inamiya suffered a crushing defeat and lost all face.

The culprit is this Lingxiao martial arts cultivator who was crippled by Zutian. Countless heroes of the younger generation of Daogong want to kill him in order to gain unlimited glory and countless rewards within the sect.

At this moment, how dare this formidable enemy of Inamiya claim to be one of their own?
Yu Baoyuan and Yu Shouyi felt that Li Weiyi was toying with them. After their initial anger, a subtle joy welled up in their eyes. If they could kill him in the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins, the merit would be comparable to any opportunity.

It was just a brief exchange of glances.

"Boom!"

Yu Baoyuan and Yu Shouyi both understood each other's thoughts. At the same time, they released their battle intent to lock onto Li Weiyi, and then joined forces to unleash the Void Bridge Cauldron.

Li Weiyi used the Qingxu Chachan Step, his body seemingly transforming into a wisp of green smoke, escaping the mental confinement of the two peak third-realm experts, and circled behind them.

"Gentlemen, we have no grudge against each other, so why are we fighting? I have important information to share with you."

Yu Baoyuan and Yu Shouyi's expressions changed repeatedly.

The first surprise was that Li Weiyi was so powerful that she was able to escape from their mental lock.

The second change was that they suddenly realized that Li Weiyi was actually a martial artist in the Longevity Realm.

Wasn't Zutian abolished?
Feng Fu breaks the longevity barrier?
"Boom!"

The Xuqiao Cauldron lost its aim and fell into the ruins of the ancient city.

The walls collapsed, and dust filled the air.

Yu Baoyuan's ancestral field surged forth with a vast cloud of magical energy, which he then collected from the Void Bridge Cauldron and continued to control.

Yu Shouyi turned around, formed hand seals, and stared intently at the rapidly moving Li Weiyi. His crimson eye between his brows emitted an eerie light.

"Wow!"

A crimson eye, over ten feet tall, appeared before him, hovering vertically and releasing countless crimson light trails that coiled towards Li Weiyi.

Li Weiyi stopped his movement and gracefully slashed out an arc of sword light, shattering all the incoming crimson streaks of light: "You two really can't tell what's important and what's urgent. Don't you know that Inamiya is in deep trouble?"

In a duel between experts, a mere trial exchange is enough to reveal the opponent's skill level.

Yu Shouyi's expression changed for the third time. He stared intently at the proudly standing Li Weiyi, realizing that this young man's combat strength had reached a level no less than theirs.

On the other side, Yu Baoyuan's gaze fell upon Qing Zijin, who had emerged from the ancient well. Beside Qing Zijin stood two of the most powerful battle corpse puppets. The magical energy emanating from them made Yu Baoyuan quite wary, recognizing that they had reached the seventh level of the Longevity Realm.

Above their heads, a white dragon spirit hovered, poised to swoop down at any moment.

After Yu Baoyuan retrieved the Void Bridge Cauldron, he exchanged a few words with Yu Shouyi via telepathy. Then, he burst into laughter: "Who would have thought that in a dry well in the ruins of this ancient city, there would be the famous Li Weiyi and a stunningly beautiful woman? If there is any disturbance, please forgive us."

Yu Shouyi's eyes narrowed warily: "Li Weiyi, what did you mean by what you just said? What do you mean by Inamiya being in imminent disaster?"

Li Weiyi snorted: "You Inari Palace are truly a bunch of fools. You've clearly provoked Chu Yutian, a terrifying enemy, yet you're still searching for the Mysterious Void in the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins. Don't you know that Chu Yutian is already mobilizing the army of the departed spirits, preparing to wipe out your Inari Palace in one fell swoop? The first one he'll deal with is your Inari Palace disciple, in order to reclaim the Taiyin Seal."

Yu Shouyi said, "Don't try to scare me."

Li Weiyi said, "Whether it's alarmist or not, you two can find out by going to explore the Netherworld of Brahma Leaf Valley. You'll be grateful for my righteous reminder then. If it weren't for Hong Ling, I would have sat back and watched the tigers fight, letting Chu Yutian take care of you all. That would have been a truly satisfying thing."

Yu Baoyuan's eyes narrowed, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, "With your combined strength, even if we brothers wanted to keep you here, we would have to pay a considerable price. I doubt we would deliberately deceive you to escape."

"It's hard to say who will stay and who will stay. Back then, I was just as confident as you are, neither loving life nor hating death," Li Weiyi said.

Yu Shouyi was about to lash out when Yu Baoyuan held him down.

Yu Baoyuan said, "I believe there might really be something unusual in the Brahma Leaf Valley Netherworld. But the first thing Chu Yutian will deal with is probably not our Rice Palace, but your Sentinel Spirit Army, right? There are only five Time Void God Tokens, so it's not difficult for him to guess that you joined the Sentinel Spirit Army."

Li Weiyi feigned surprise, then looked on with admiration: "Besides the Hongling sisters, it seems there are some intelligent people in Inamori. Since they are intelligent, they should understand that the intelligence from the Sentinel Spirit Army is never false. If I were you, I would immediately go to the Netherworld of Brahma Leaf Valley to investigate the truth, and then quickly report to the Inamori True Disciple."

Yu Baoyuan cupped his hands in greeting to Li Weiyi: "I am Yu Baoyuan of Hunyuan Palace, and my younger brother is Yu Shouyi. I will certainly convey Li Shenyin's feelings for Miss Hongling to him. Let's go!"

The two transformed into two afterimages, rushing out of the ancient city ruins and heading towards the Netherworld of Brahma Leaf Valley.

Yu Shouyi asked in confusion, "Brother, Li Weiyi is too strange. His cultivation speed is simply heaven-defying, and his combat strength is already comparable to mine. If we don't take this opportunity to eliminate him, there will be endless troubles in the future. Even if we have to pay a price, it's worth it."

Yu Baoyuan said, "He's wearing the official robes of a governor. How easy would it be to keep him here? Besides, do you think he would dare to be so arrogant without the powerful methods bestowed upon him by Yu Yaozi? With Yu Yaozi's mastery of mental power, even if he just casually draws a talisman... you should understand that such a risk is not worth taking, right?"

Yu Shouyi, recalling the rumors about Li Weiyi and Yu Yaozi's relationship, was immediately filled with fear: "You really believe what he said?"

"Whether you believe it or not, you'll find out soon enough," Yu Baoyuan said.

Ruins of an ancient city.

Qing Zijin said coldly, "Yu Baoyuan and Yu Shouyi are top experts of the Inamori Palace. I didn't expect them to be so easy to fool. They really are two fools."

"Where did I lie? Besides, they are extremely intelligent, know how to assess the situation, and understand priorities. They are by no means fools. How could Chu Yutian have summoned the Ghost Army just to deal with our Sentinel Army?" Li Weiyi said.

Qing Zijin said, "Didn't you hear their previous conversation?"

"What do you mean?"

Li Weiyi was very confused and humbly asked for advice.

Qing Zijin still wore a veil, so her expression was unreadable: "The abnormal situation of the Ancient Clan of Time can be noticed by the Inamiya, and the Taiyin Sect should also be able to notice it. If Chu Yutian only wants to deal with the Sentinel Army and the Inamiya, his current strength is more than enough. Why should he mobilize more troops?"

Li Weiyi said, "You mean these troops aren't meant to fight us, but rather to investigate some secret of the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins?"

Qing Zijin pondered: "The Ancient Clan of Time is the survivor of the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins, and they live in seclusion in the Holy Hall Realm. Nangong is from this ancient clan; she is a descendant of the survivors of the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins."

“I have a guess about that too,” Li Weiyi said.

Qing Zijin said, "You saw the martial arts prowess that Nangong displayed during the breakout battle of Fanye Valley! At her age, how could she normally have such a high level of skill?"

"You mean to say that the Ancient Race of Time might actually possess a method to freely enter and exit the Zone of Withering and Flourishing?"

Li Weiyi thought for a moment and then said, "No! If that's really the case, the Ancient Clan of Time must have some great immortality, or even transcendence, who are stationed in the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins. No matter how many troops Chu Yutian sends in, they will all be wiped out."

Qing Zijin said, "As long as a powerful expert of that caliber makes a move, the Netherworld of the Dead will be able to glean clues and obtain a definite result. The subsequent events could be either the Netherworld of the Dead attacking the Holy Temple Realm and annihilating the Ancient Clan of Time, or the Martial Emperor arriving at the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins. Both are possible."

"Captain, you have such a clear mind and are incredibly intelligent. You broke through the fog and saw through the truth in an instant," Li Weiyi said, praising him without reservation.

Qing Zijin said irritably, "How can you still have the mood to tease me like this? Chu Yutian will definitely take this opportunity to deal with us all. Hurry up and think of a way."

There's movement inside the well.

Li Weiyi made a shushing gesture and looked at the mouth of the ancient well not far away.

Wisps of pale green, chilly mist emanated from the well.

"Crack!"

Centered on the wellhead, cracks appeared in the ground.

With a loud bang, large sections of the ancient city ruins sank, and thick yin energy surged from the ground, rapidly spreading in all directions.
