The Primordial Law

Chapter 602 Xu Daoqing and Qing Zijin

Li Weiyi and Qing Zijin were enveloped in spiritual light, their figures flickering as they immediately fled.

He fled to a rocky hill several miles away, then turned around and looked back.

Then, the phantom of an ancient city gate appeared amidst the green will-o'-the-wisps, magnificent and awe-inspiring.

A dense mass of soldiers surged out of the city gate, their bodies radiating deathly aura and their killing intent soaring to the heavens. Faintly, the sounds of war drums and horns could be heard.

Li Weiyi glanced at Qing Zijin and noticed that she was also deathly pale and extremely terrified.

"Captain, with your experience, what's going on here?" he asked.

"In that war that destroyed the kingdom, the entire Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins was buried, and countless people perished. The dead soldiers harbored deep resentment and may have turned into vengeful spirits, slumbering underground, and were awakened by your previous battle," Qing Zijin speculated.

"I think this ancient city ruins might really hold some great secret. These vengeful spirit soldiers might have been awakened by someone and are guarding something."

Li Weiyi said this deliberately.

I want to see if Qing Zijin will do anything unusual next.

For example, secretly passing messages.

Since hearing Nangong's words, Li Weiyi has noticed the abnormality in Qing Zijin whenever they interact, and she can no longer be as sincere as before.

But he sensed no hostility from Qing Zijin, which caused him pain and inner conflict.

I really want to confront her directly and get to the bottom of this.

Li Weiyi sympathized with the plight of the Xianxia Sect.

If she's not too deeply involved, Li Weiyi wouldn't mind doing everything in her power to pull her back.

However, if the other party really was Luo Yin Ji, it would be far too dangerous for him to rashly reveal his hand with his current cultivation level.

Qing Zijin said, "Given the current situation, we have no way to investigate further. The only thing we can do is find Nangong as soon as possible and see if she will be honest with us."

……

Ignoring the risk of revealing his whereabouts and expending his magical energy, Li Weiyi directly piloted the jade boat, flying at low altitude and heading towards the huge bright moon on the horizon at top speed.

After four days of travel, we have already traversed tens of thousands of miles of territory.

Each time half of his internal energy was depleted, Li Weiyi would immediately stop to recover, so as not to fall into a state of weakness.

On the distant horizon, the radiant moonlight appears even larger than the majestic mountains nearby, inspiring awe at the wonders of nature—a sight that seems almost otherworldly.

The moonlight was soft and not at all glaring.

The sky, earth, mountains, and rivers were half in light and half in shadow, all casting long reflections.

At the top of a mountain where he could observe the enemy's movements in all directions, Li Weiyi, while recovering his magical energy, lit a fire and roasted a four-foot-long chicken wing over the fire, piercing it through with the Ten Thousand Things Staff Spear.

The firewood crackled and popped as it burned.

A concealment array was set up around the bonfire.

Qing Zijin stood not far away, blew her whistle, and tried to contact the Shaoyang Guard, which was thousands of miles away.

"There's been no response as to where everyone went."

She sighed softly, turned to look at the golden-brown chicken wings, and frowned: "What time is it, and you're still thinking about eating?"

"That long-lived chicken that Luo Ping has been raising for two years, I've been reluctant to eat these chicken wings, I just wanted to share them with the captain." Li Weiyi kept turning the chicken over, his expression serious.

Qing Zijin sat down next to him, her beautiful eyes, always filled with melancholy, gazing at the leaping flames: "You know, I hate smooth-talking people, but when you say that, I don't hate them at all. Do you know why?"

"Why?" Li Weiyi asked calmly.

Qing Zijin said, "Because you do what you say. You don't say one thing and do another. Take these chicken wings for example. If you had said this two years ago, I wouldn't have believed a word of it."

"But it's been two years and you've still kept it, which really touches me. I don't think you don't like to eat it."

"Just like those two years you waited for me in the Heavenly Capital River Underworld, I believed it wholeheartedly."

"A person who keeps their word is very charming. If someone can do both, they are as honest and lovable as a child, making them incredibly easy to get along with."

Li Weiyi knew perfectly well that she wasn't as honest and cute as she seemed, and immediately blushed with shame, thankfully the firelight concealed it.

"This five-thousand-year-old herb was found in the underworld where I was recuperating."

With her slender, jade-like hands, Qing Zijin took out a box containing a thousand-year-old elixir from her bag.

"Are you trying to borrow the power of all things?" Li Weiyi asked.

Qing Zijin said, "Didn't I already borrow it from you during those two months of cultivation at the top of the Netherworld Mountain in Brahma Leaf Valley? This is a good opportunity to repay you."

Li Weiyi stared into her cold eyes for a long time before laughing, "This is a five-thousand-year-old herb. Captain, you're usually so stingy, so your sudden generosity is quite unusual."

"Do you want love?"

Qing Zijin hummed softly, threw the medicine box at his feet, turned her face away, and gazed at the distant years. Her upper body was embedded in the huge full moon, like a tranquil painting.

Li Weiyi picked up the medicine box and put it into the pouch on his waist: "Only one day's journey remains to Chun City. It is the largest Netherworld Domain in the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins, said to be shrouded in Netherworld Qi for three thousand miles, making it the richest place for cultivation resources. The strongest forces from all sides must be gathered there..."

Qing Zijin interrupted his rambling and asked, "Did you hear that? The whistle. Someone is responding to me and asking who I am."

Li Wei listened carefully: "Those who understand our Shaoyang Guard's secret language should not be members of the Taiyin Sect."

"It's Master Xu. He wants to see me." After Qing Zijin revealed her identity, she received this whistle sound.

Li Weiyi was surprised and faced a dilemma. If Qing Zijin really had a problem, and Xu Daoqing arrived, he would be facing two formidable enemies at once.

However, the Hai Envoy Jingzhen within Xu Daoqing's body took the initiative to arrange a meeting with her. If Qing Zijin truly has a problem, she will definitely slip up.

This is an excellent opportunity to find out Qing Zijin's background!
“Master Xu must be able to predict the future, otherwise why would he have gotten my chicken wings by chance? I really don’t want to share with him… Sigh, don’t tell him I’m here too, give him a surprise,” Li Weiyi said.

Shortly after Qing Zijin responded with her whistle, Xu Daoqing, a young man with an air of otherworldly elegance, arrived on the mountain ridge, holding a whisk and searching around.

“It seems that Master Xu is alright. He came alone and had no followers,” Qing Zijin said.

Li Weiyi said, "Go and pick him up."

Qing Zijin obeyed his advice, stepped out of the concealment formation, and went to meet Xu Daoqing, who was still a hundred feet away.

Li Weiyi took out the letter given to him by Yu Yaozi, hid it in his sleeve, narrowed his eyes, and stared at Xu Daoqing, not missing any subtle expression, while sensing whether the two were communicating telepathically.

Unfortunately, we can only see Qing Zijin's back; we can't see her expression at this moment.

"Thank God, that's wonderful! Miss Qing, you're actually still alive! You're all alone?" Xu Daoqing's clear eyes showed a surge of excitement.

"Ok!"

Qing Zijin nodded gently, after all, Li Weiyi had said that she would give Master Xu a surprise.

Xu Daoqing immediately expressed his deepest feelings with an extremely sincere look in his eyes: "Miss Qing, do you know that Daoqing has been searching for you in the south all these days? There is hardly another woman in the world who makes me so anxious and worried."

"I don't quite understand what the Taoist priest is saying," Qing Zijin said.

Xu Daoqing stepped forward: "Miss Qing, I know your background and why you always keep people at arm's length. Give me a chance, and I will protect you with my life. From the first time I saw you, I was certain that you were the woman I had been waiting for."

Qing Zijin strode toward the concealment formation and said coldly, "Master Xu, you are too abrupt. You feel very unfamiliar to me, completely different from before."

Xu Daoqing chased after him: "Perhaps emotions themselves can cause a person to lose their rationality and become... Li Weiyi..."

Li Weiyi, holding a huge roasted chicken wing, stepped out of the concealment formation, looked at the young Taoist priest chasing after Qing Zijin, and smiled, "Master Xu, how have you been?"

The chicken wings were steaming hot, and the aroma of meat filled the air.

"I feel like he's really unwell."

Qing Zijin stood next to Li Weiyi, turned around and stared at Xu Daoqing warily, her eyes cold and piercing.

Li Weiyi said, "Let me tell you why. It's because Master Xu is Tu Miangou. If Tu Miangou had said those words, wouldn't it make a lot more sense?"

"Moreover, I think what Brother Jingzhen wants is not you, Captain, but something else entirely."

Li Weiyi was thinking of the Taixu Insect.

The fact that the Taixu Clan, who had been silent for thousands of years, would risk infiltrating the Dongxu Camp must mean they had a very compelling reason.

Qing Zijin was completely bewildered: "Tu Mian Gou? Jing Zhen? Why are you just like him, spouting things I can't understand?"

Across from him, Xu Daoqing's expression had completely changed, his eyes now deep and cold with a strange undercurrent.

"Wow!"

The magical energy transformed into a purple glow, surging out from his body.

With a flick of his whisk, his white beard transformed into countless sharp, blade-like strands, enveloping the two people opposite him.

"Swish!"

Li Weiyi was prepared. The Heavenly Sword Talisman between his eyebrows flew out like a waterfall, knocking all the whisk threads back.

"What a powerful Heavenly Sword Talisman! But at such close range, martial arts practitioners are still more powerful."

Enveloped in purple light, Xu Daoqing shot out, reaching Li Weiyi before he could fully unleash the Heavenly Sword Talisman, and pointed a finger strike with his right hand.

The spiritual light gathered on Li Weiyi's body and condensed into a four-colored, shimmering flame armor.

Mind and martial arts become one, palms open.

He unleashed a powerful palm strike.

Li Weiyi had consulted the ancient texts he brought from Lingxiao Palace and found records about the Taixu Clan. According to the texts, using spiritual light to protect the body could, to some extent, resist the Taixu Clan.

"Boom!"

The palm print and finger strength collide.

Xu Daoqing looked surprised as he was forced to take three steps back by Li Weiyi's overwhelming palm force.

He remained calm and composed, and after regaining his footing, a humanoid ethereal light shot out from his body. The ethereal light moved like a ghost, bypassing Li Weiyi and heading straight for Qing Zijin.

"Oops!"

Li Weiyi realized that he had made a huge mistake. He only wanted to take this opportunity to test Qing Zijin's identity, but he did not think that it would be very dangerous if she was not Luo Yinji.

The reason for this is that, subconsciously, he had already identified Qing Zijin as Luo Yinji, and he was searching for answers to the questions.

"Oh!"

Xu Daoqing was torn to pieces by the dense array of Heavenly Sword Talismans.

"team leader……"

Li Weiyi turned and chased after it, shouting in great concern, "Watch out!"
