The Primordial Law

Chapter 609 The Actions of the Taiyin Sect
Chuncheng is not just a city, but also a three-thousand-mile-long underworld.

The aura of the underworld was extremely thick, shrouded in clouds and mist.

After entering the city, the Shaoyang Division members moved swiftly along the waterway that divided the ancient city ruins to the east and west.

Tang Wanzhou, who was walking at the forefront, always radiated his magical energy, keeping a watchful eye on all sides. His beautiful eyes with long eyelashes were constantly observing the water, the forest, and the sky, and his mental state was tense.

Li Weiyi carefully sensed their surroundings throughout the journey, discovering many powerful figures. Some were secretly observing them, some were simply passing by, and some were pursuing the fleeing millennium-old herb.

Among them are many powerful members of the demon race.

The demon race is mainly composed of various feathered creatures such as exotic birds and spirit birds, all of which have reached the realm of longevity and are capable of transformation. Of course, the direction of transformation is not limited to human form; some also transform into phoenixes, aspiring to eventually become true phoenixes.

They come from the western part of the trumpet creeper habitat.

The Lingxiao habitat refers to them as the Western Demon Clan.

However, the humans of the remaining hundred-plus habitats in the southern part of Yingzhou call that place the "Primordial Demon Plains," a vast and mysterious land where billions of demons gather. Feifeng is one of the demon rulers there, but not the only one.

One deputy sentry of the Cave Ruins Camp and a large number of sentry spirits are specifically responsible for monitoring the Primordial Demon Plains and collecting intelligence.

"A lot of powerful demons have come?" Li Weiyi asked Zhao Tang, who was traveling with him.

"To be precise, both the demon race and the demon kingdom have sent a large number of powerful individuals. Otherwise, why would Wenren Tinghai not be afraid of the army of the dead from the Seven Grievances Plain and the Ancient Ye City?"

Zhao Tang saw the doubt in Li Weiyi's mind, smiled, and continued, "For a powerful force of this caliber, the higher-ups won't care about the gains or losses of individual martial artists; the will of those above determines everything."

"The Demon Kingdom's billions of races and the Demon King of the Demon Clan need Time Stones, Netherworld Essence, spiritual medicines, spiritual crystals, as well as swastika artifacts and supreme magic weapons. Even if it means the death of a group of Longevity Realm martial artists, they are willing to do so."

“Unlike our Sentinel Army, which is small in number, every sacrifice is a huge loss. We have to repeatedly calculate the gains and losses between the loss of lifespan and the improvement of cultivation.”

"We are here to gain experience and cultivate ourselves, which is different from their purpose."

"If the Lords of the Living Realm and the Emperor of Martial Arts knew that the Deputy Sentinel Lord had dispatched a large number of Sentinel Spirits into the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins specifically to search for treasures, disregarding the lives of the Sentinel Spirits, I'm afraid both the Deputy Sentinel Lord and the Sentinel Lord would be summoned for questioning."

Li Weiyi became interested and asked, "After so many years, can we still find supreme magical artifacts in the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins?"

Zhao Tang said, "Three of the supreme magical artifacts that were excavated from the ancient kingdom of the Ruins of Time are well-known to the world, not to mention some fragments of supreme magical artifacts. Given the former strength of the ancient kingdom of the Ruins of Time and the terrifying power of the five armies, there must be more supreme magical artifacts buried under this wasteland."

"I heard that Gu Zhenzhen entered a burial area west of Chuncheng and found an ancient artifact with the character '万' (wan). Now he's going to Chunze, and who knows, he might find something even bigger."

"He is a powerful figure who is not a Great Immortal, but is even more powerful than a Great Immortal. His strength is so terrifying that it is extremely rare among the top scholars in the history of the Demon Kingdom. He can use the emperor's power to intimidate those strange beings in the Ten Thousand Burial Zone. His gains are incomparable to those of others."

"The person Chu Yutian fears most is him, which is why the Taiyin Sect doesn't dare to act recklessly in Chun City..."

"Boom!"

In the distance, ghostly energy and Buddhist light soared into the sky.

Another cloud of corpses descended, causing the spiritual energy of the underworld to fluctuate violently in a large area.

"It's the Sentinel Army's base! The Taiyin Sect and the Netherworld of the Dead have indeed taken this opportunity to launch an attack."

"Wow!"

With his sword in hand, Tang Wanzhou's eyes flashed with a cold light. He activated his governor's robe and teleported away.

Nangong carried the weakened Qing Zijin on his mount and handed her to Yan Zhiruo: "Chu Yutian will definitely take action once he receives news of Shengsi's breakthrough. He won't give her the chance to cultivate to the peak of the third realm. I'm going to lend Shengsi a hand. You all be careful!"

She gracefully landed on the back of her mount, which then soared into the sky, its four hooves treading on bright, pure fire.

Zhao Tang looked surprised and embarrassed: "Saint Si obviously expected this, so there's no need to worry about the three guys who stayed behind."

"I think we should worry about ourselves first."

Li Weiyi sensed an unusual chilling aura, summoned the Yellow Dragon Sword, held it in his hand, circulated his internal energy, and looked at the calm water surface under the moonlight beside him.

The water surface froze quickly due to the cold air.

There is clearly an unknown force gathering in the water.

"go!"

The four used their movement skills to quickly move away and rush into the forest.

"Boom!"

A silver corpse pill flew out of the water, spinning rapidly and forming a vortex of silver light. The cold air it emitted kept freezing towards Li Weiyi and the others from the water's edge.

While running, Zhao Tang suddenly turned around and planted a sacred tree covered with array patterns into the ground in front of him.

He was not only a martial artist of the third realm of longevity, but also a spiritual master of the third realm. The spiritual light from his brows surged into the divine tree.

From within the divine tree, numerous array runes flew out, forming concentric array plates. Even the ground beneath Zhao Tang's feet was imprinted with mysterious array runes, shimmering brightly.

"boom!"

As the silver corpse pill crashed down, trees fell, rocks shattered, and ice crystals spread in the area around Zhao Tang that was not covered by the array plate.

Li Weiyi swiftly cleared a path through the forest, the four-colored spiritual light emanating from between his brows intertwining and coalescing into a suit of armor. The armor contained terrifying heat, perfectly integrated with his physical body and magical energy.

Upon entering the city, slaughter ensued; no wonder Tang Wanzhou advised him to go into seclusion and cultivate. The situation and level of danger in Chun City were truly unparalleled elsewhere.

I sensed a fluctuation in the aura.

Li Weiyi pinched his left hand and unleashed a beam of energy into the depths of the forest.

Only after making the move did he have time to look over.

Within the blue mist of netherworld energy, about a hundred feet away, stood a figure in a golden robe, holding a long spear, appearing and disappearing in the mist.

"Oh!"

He raised his arm, holding his spear horizontally to block Li Weiyi's Cihang Enlightened Finger. His long hair fluttered as he did not retreat even a step.

Then, countless scriptures appeared on the gun, swirled half a circle in the air, and the gun was thrust out from a distance. "Whoosh!"

A violent burst of energy erupted from the tip of the spear, shattering all vegetation within a hundred feet of him and Li Weiyi.

The Cihang Enlightened Finger, being a strike from a distance, could only unleash martial arts power, not a combination of mental and physical strength. However, the fact that it was so easily neutralized already revealed the opponent's unfathomable cultivation level.

Li Weiyi narrowed his eyes, and the magical energy in his ancestral field surged out, followed by one hundred and eight pillars of lightning around him.

"Chichi!"

The lightning bolts twisted and converged, blocking the golden-robed man's thrust from a distance by ten feet. The clash of the two forces caused the area to blaze with intense light and fury.

"They really are powerful! Their vigilance is so high that it's impossible to get within a hundred feet of them. It seems the information on the talisman is true."

The man in the golden robe spoke in a deep and serious voice, and with a flash, he rapidly approached Li Weiyi and the other two.

His movements and techniques are unpredictable, making it impossible to tell where he will land next or from which direction he will attack.

Yan Zhiruo recognized his origins and said urgently, "It is Huangfu Song, the envoy! Among the twelve Taiyin envoys, his martial arts talent is second to none. He is known as the young emperor when he entered the Dao Seed Realm. He went into seclusion after entering the Ancient Kingdom of Year Ruins. Now that he has come out of seclusion, his cultivation has most likely reached the peak of the third realm."

Like the Shaoyang Guards, the Twelve Taiyin Envoys are not necessarily the strongest in terms of physical strength or martial arts talent.

Many people are too young and their cultivation level has not yet caught up.

Just like Chang Yujian in the Shaoyang Guard, apart from Li Weiyi, no one can surpass him in martial arts talent, but his cultivation and combat strength are among the worst. Tang Wanzhou is a Saintly Officer, so he is not included in this category.

Yan Zhiruo certainly didn't believe that Li Weiyi, with his current cultivation level, was a match for Huangfu Song. She immediately put Qing Zijin down, released her magical energy, took out her pipa, and prepared to personally face the challenge.

Huangfu Song was incredibly fast. Before Yan Zhiruo's fingers even touched the pipa strings, countless sharp energies had already struck the protective aura around her.

Behind the sharp, powerful energy was Huangfu Song's thrusting magic weapon, the spear.

Li Wei shifted his feet, moving like a wisp of green smoke, and with all his might, swung his sword to deflect the magical spear from below.

"Oh!"

Amidst the ripples from the collision of the two objects, Yan Zhiruo gracefully flew backward, her fingers flicking.

The shrill sound of a pipa rang out.

A semi-transparent sonic blade distorted space, flew over Li Weiyi's head, and slashed towards Huangfu Song.

In addition to the sonic blade, it also contains a mental attack, directly severing Huangfu Song's soul.

Huangfu Song knew the power of Yan Zhiruo's Soul-Slaying Sound and was also shocked by Li Weiyi's formidable strength. Enveloped in the Longevity Scripture, he dodged and retreated.

Li Weiyi pressed his advantage, his sword's cry transforming into a dragon's roar, unleashing a yellow dragon of sword energy that stretched twenty feet forward.

"Swish!"

The envoy, Huanghun, appeared behind Huangfu Song and unleashed a long river of formations to block the sword energy of the Yellow Dragon.

Just as Li Weiyi unleashed his sword qi, a top-tier expert in the shadows seized the opportunity and launched a sneak attack.

The sense of danger sent chills down Li Weiyi's spine. He had just unleashed a full-force sword strike, and there was no time to use his movement techniques to dodge or parry.

It can only rotate sideways by relying on its senses.

"Hey!"

An arrow, intertwined with lightning and crimson light, pierced through Li Weiyi's protective magical energy and shattered his spiritual armor, flying just past his chest.

If he hadn't spun around, the arrow would have hit him in the back.

With the power of that arrow, even someone wearing several layers of defense would be seriously injured.

"Boom!"

The arrow landed several feet away, creating a huge crater from the lightning.

The horn sounded.

Huang Hun, Huangfu Song, and the silver corpse that was restraining Zhao Tang immediately retreated at a rapid pace.

“Li Weiyi, after you enter the Longevity Realm, all the talents in the world will be surpassed by you! In my opinion, the day you enter the Third Realm will be the day when Gu Zhenxiang, Shenji Gongzi and others bow down and beg for their lives. Huangfu Song is unwilling to be inferior to others, and once he reaches the peak of the Third Realm, he will definitely come to pay his respects again.”

Huangfu Song's voice was long and drawn out, carrying extremely far.

Li Weiyi did not pursue, but instead looked towards the top of the city wall in the distance.

That dangerous arrow just now came from the top of the city wall. The attacker, after firing the arrow, immediately retreated.

"They just left like that?"

Yan Zhiruo found it hard to believe.

"The battle at the base has also ended. The Taiyin Sect's attack this time must have had ulterior motives."

Zhao Tang strode over, his gaze towards Li Weiyi incredibly insightful: "They want to use this battle to show all forces how powerful Li Weiyi is; they want to use someone else to do their dirty work. Brother Weiyi, you should be at the second level of the Longevity Realm, right?"

Yan Zhiruo's gaze also fell on Li Weiyi, feeling incredulous.

Although Li Weiyi and Huangfu Song's exchange was just a probing one, she could see through the subtleties and had a rough idea of ​​Li Weiyi's strength.

With such combat power in the second realm, Tang Wanzhou's position as the top scholar in the Sword Dao Imperial Court is vacant and awaits her.

With another Li Weiyi emerging from the Shaoyang Division, it's hard for them not to be targeted by all sides.

"Just a secret technique that combines mind and martial arts!"

Li Weiyi uttered these words and walked towards the dark red feathered arrow in the lightning crater.
