The Primordial Law

Chapter 621 Raising troops to investigate crimes
Changyu's eyes suddenly darkened.

My first thought was that Wenren Tinghai was trying to frame someone to gain a reason to attack the Sentinel Army.

"Young Lady Qing is in charge of the formation."

He gave this instruction.

Chang Yujian walked to the inside of the gate of the camp, and through the array of light, looked at Wenren Tinghai, whose face was effeminate and sinister: "The way of doing things in my Demon Kingdom has always been criticized by the world, but fortunately, we never deny that what we do is demonic rather than holy. Wenren Tanhua serves the Crown Prince and deals with Li Weiyi, which can be understood by the world. We know that you are acting on orders from above."

"But as long as Li Wei is on guard duty, if you dare to touch him, you are making an enemy of the Sentinel Spirit Army, and even more so, an enemy of the whole world."

"Stay at the sentry post to settle scores, and leave the camp to discuss right and wrong."

"We are currently stationed in the Ancient Kingdom of Ruins of Time, monitoring any unusual activity in the Netherworld of the Dead. You dare to attack my outpost? If anyone in the court dares to criticize us, you're dead!"

The ancient kingdom of Time Ruins naturally has no outposts, and they are not here to guard them.

However, given the unusual actions of the Taiyin Sect and the Netherworld, the right to interpret them lies with the Dongxu Camp. Considering Li Weiyi's merit in killing several deceased marquises and Taiyin envoys, the Dongxu Camp also has many valid points to make.

Then, Changyu Sword continued, "As a disciple of the Emperor, you need not use honorable means, but at least be clever enough to earn people's admiration for your wisdom and strategy. Who would believe such a low-level frame-up? It is truly despicable."

Changyu Sword, of course, did not believe it.

The border army's top ten warriors were selected through military competitions; each one was a formidable fighter. With Li Weiyi's current cultivation level, could he possibly kill them?

Moreover, with Wenren Tinghai also present, Changyu Sword was even less inclined to believe it.

The most likely explanation is that during the struggle for the millennium-old elixir, two powerful border generals died at the hands of spirits or demons. Wenren Tinghai seized upon this, using the corpses as a pretext to gain a legitimate reason to attack Li Weiyi.

Wenren Tinghai's eyebrows shot straight up to his nose, and he wanted to kill Changyu Sword on the spot: "You really are a master at turning black into white! Border soldiers died in battle, this is a national grudge. Don't forget that you won't be guarding the outpost forever, you are going back to the Demon Kingdom."

“The responsibility for the border troops’ deaths lies with their commander. If you hadn’t been greedy, how could they have died?” Changyu Sword said.

Xue Sanguan and three other border army warriors arrived outside the Sentinel Army's garrison.

Xue Sanguan said, "Chang Yujian, if you are still a martial artist from the Demon Kingdom, then open the formation and hand over the murderer. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite!"

"Why don't you give it a try?"

Changyu Sword was not afraid of them at all.

He's not afraid to take the case all the way to Xiaoyaojing, as long as he's in the right.

Wenren Tinghai stopped Xue Sanguan, who was about to make a move, and said with a forced smile, "Li Weiyi, you were able to kill the Six-Colored Peacock and break through the border army's battle formation. You must have reached the third realm of cultivation. With such strength, why don't you even dare to say a word?"

Chang Yujian frowned slightly, sensing that Wenren Tinghai wasn't trying to flatter her to death.

Li Weiyi stood up wearily and walked over: "What advice does the third-ranked scholar have for me?"

Wenren Tinghai, with one hand behind his back and his long hair flowing, said, "You are capable of stealing the millennium-old elixir from the Demon Kingdom and killing two powerful border generals. As long as you fight me and win, the Demon Kingdom will not pursue this matter. Otherwise, even if you are from the Sentinel Spirit Army, the Demon Kingdom will definitely avenge this. A life for a life is the greatest law in the world."

Li Weiyi laughed and said, "As expected of the Emperor's disciple, you have a good plan. If I lose this duel, I will surely die. Even if I win, I will still have to face the encirclement and killing by the experts of the Demon Kingdom. Because if I fight, it is equivalent to admitting the stigma of stealing the essence medicine and handing over the moral high ground to you."

"Reason is worthless if you take it too seriously and treat it as your only weapon. But if you put it on the table and put it on the table with other chips, it becomes more important than anything else."

Wenren Tinghai said bluntly, "After all this talk, you still don't dare?"

"Dare you!"

Li Weiyi raised his hand, signaling the three Sentinel Army soldiers who wanted to stop him not to worry, before saying, "Wait for me for a year and a half! After a year and a half, we will settle our differences, and even decide who is superior and who will live or die. Do you dare?"

"Ok, I will wait for you."

The Demon Kingdom's people left the Sentinel Army's encampment.

Wenren Tinghai walked at the head of the group, his eyes deep and focused. He had a clear understanding of the strength of the Six-Colored Peacock, the Border Army Battle Formation, Luoyin Ji, and the Four-Eared Ghost Monkey Marquis.

He might not have been able to escape back to his base amidst such a massive force.

He is extremely confident in his upcoming match against Li Weiyi.

If we wait a year and a half, Li Weiyi will have refined at least three clusters of Dragon Soul Source Light, raising his cultivation to the mid-stage of the third realm. At that point, how much of a chance will I have of winning?

Even if Wenren Tinghai were incredibly arrogant and possessed countless prestigious titles, he had to admit that Li Weiyi was indeed unparalleled. Only a superior level of cultivation could defeat him.

For the emperor's disciples, admitting this was a very difficult thing.

Xue Sanguan saw Wenren Tinghai's worry: "This boy is strange and has many tricks up his sleeve. He even managed to escape from the sacrificial pit. Not only did he not die, but his cultivation has also greatly improved. Now that we are in the right, we should directly summon all the experts of the border army, bring heavy weapons, and storm in to suppress him. We absolutely cannot give him another year and a half of cultivation time."

"Punch in?"

Wenren Tinghai stopped and looked at him: "A grand attack on the human race's outpost? Once it's on the scales, even His Highness the Crown Prince will be implicated. You're handing a knife to the Chang family."

Xue Sanguan said, "If he hides in the Sentinel Army's garrison, we will be helpless against him. Wouldn't that just embolden him?"

Wenren Tinghai gently shook his head: "First of all, he is far from invincible. Secondly, his hiding in the Sentinel Army's garrison is actually more harmful than beneficial."

"Just because we dare not attack doesn't mean others dare not attack." Xue Sanguan said, "The Netherworld of the Dead? That's right, the Sentinel Army's garrison is an immovable sitting duck. What the Taiyin Sect is most worried about is that Li Weiyi and his people will hide in the shadows and remain invisible. Right now, the three of us are essentially restraining each other."

Wenren Tinghai laughed, "Judging by the time, the army of the departed spirits will soon have thoroughly explored the Netherworld Mountain and could march on Chun City at any moment. If I were Chu Yutian, I would definitely send an army composed of top experts to enter the city undetected and break through the Sentinel Spirit Army's garrison with lightning speed. With the news of today's battle reaching Netherworld Mountain, if Chu Yutian didn't launch a decisive attack to kill Li Weiyi, then he would truly be a fool."

"Haha, doesn't that mean we can just watch the show?" Xue Sanguan said.

Wenren Tinghai did not respond.

His mission was to capture Li Weiyi alive and snatch her from Chu Yutian, unless he sought Gu Zhenxiang's help. What would it take to persuade Gu Zhenxiang?

A powerful border guard with a short, sharp mustache stepped forward: "Wenren Tanhua, I am Huo Tingye. I have been at the peak of the third realm for twenty-five years, and I have been cultivating in the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins for another four years. If I wish, I can break free of the fourth shackle in the near future."

"Kong Fang and Qiu Hai are my comrades-in-arms who have shared life and death. They died tragically at the hands of Li Weiyi. I will definitely avenge this."

"Reaching the fourth realm will shorten my lifespan by more than twenty years when I leave. I ask for nothing else but the opportunity to pay my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince."

Wenren Tinghai knew that the border general in front of him was gambling with his future, and he was overjoyed. He patted him on the shoulder in a friendly manner and said, "Do you all see this? This is a true man who is loyal, righteous and upright. Tingye, rest assured, whether or not we can capture Li Weiyi, Tinghai will definitely report to the Crown Prince."

"Let me assure you, my Wenren family possesses numerous martial arts manuals and military positions. Everyone here can attest to this. The Demon Kingdom will never mistreat anyone who dares to fight."

Huo Tingye quickly bowed and thanked him.

"Give Kong Fang and Qiu Hai's property bags to Ting Ye. He is more qualified than anyone else to inherit this wealth."

……

Sentinel Army Garrison.

As Li Weiyi recovered his magical energy, he took stock of his gains from the trip.

The main sources were the Six-Colored Peacock, Sheng Wulian, and a third-realm Luan Clan demon cultivator he had slain with his sword. He didn't even have time to collect the realm bags of the other experts he had killed.

The value of demon cores and immortality pills is self-evident.

The magical artifacts and the boundary bag contained priceless items such as millennium-old elixirs, the essence of the Netherworld, and spirit crystals.

Inside the six-colored peacock's pouch were two newly picked five-thousand-year-old medicinal herbs, which Li Weiyi immediately handed over to Sifeng and Wufeng.

The two demons possessed a total of fourteen low-grade spirit crystals, making them even wealthier than Li Weiyi. Clearly, the demon race must have had some special opportunity in the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins.

After his magical energy had recovered to about 80-90%, Li Weiyi walked out of the barracks.

As expected, Chang Yujian, Qing Zijin, and Liu Ye were all waiting outside, looking at him with strange expressions.

Li Weiyi released his senses to explore the area around the base.

Immediately, footsteps and the sound of wind breaking echoed through the forest.

All the martial artists responsible for monitoring the Sentinel Army's garrison were fleeing. It could be said that Li Wei's single battle, with its display of power and aura, was enough to frighten away the enemy.

Li Weiyi then took out the Purple Heaven Thunder Seal and activated its original power.

This time, even the hidden Four-Eared Ghost Monkey Marquis immediately fled. The swastika-shaped weapon was not so easy to catch, nor was it easy to dodge.

"Don't look at me like that. I killed those two border soldiers from the Demon Kingdom, but I was the victim. I couldn't possibly just surrender when they and Luo Yinji surrounded me, could I?" Li Weiyi said with a smile.

Changyu Sword said, "They actually openly cooperated with the Taiyin Sect? To push them to this point, what is your current strength?"

"You killed the six-colored peacock?" Liu Ye asked.

Li Weiyi released the enormous carcass of the six-colored peacock, filling the entire courtyard like a small, dazzling mountain of six colors: "While it's fresh, Captain, cut off about a hundred pounds, wash it clean, and roast it. We'll eat and chat. Peacock meat that has awakened the bloodline of an ancient immortal beast tastes absolutely extraordinary. Brother Chang, you must have a bar, right?"

Qing Zijin walked to the spot where the six-colored peacock had been blasted apart by the Purple Heaven Thunder Seal, stared at it intently, and looked on in disbelief.

"Let me do it!"

Liu Ye took out her magical sword and stepped forward to cut the meat.

……

In the Netherworld, he cultivated for several years, consuming only Blood Valley Pills or precious medicinal fruits he had gathered.

Once the peacock meat is roasted, it doesn't need any seasoning; it's already incredibly fragrant. Everyone enjoys it immensely, savoring every bite, and there's even a bottle of fine wine treasured by Changyu Sword.

After listening to Li Weiyi's account, Chang Yujian's expression turned grave: "We're in big trouble!"

Qing Zijin wiped her mouth: "That's right! Everyone knows that the Shaoyang Division possesses the Dragon Soul Source Light, which can allow you to raise your cultivation from the initial stage to the peak within a few years. You are already so strong, how could we possibly give you another chance to cultivate to the peak?"

"How about we sneak away from Chun City and go to another Netherworld to cultivate while the watchers are scared away?" Liu Ye suggested.

Li Weiyi said, "Going into hiding is imperative. But what do you two think about leaving Chuncheng?"
