Her Struggle
The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!
If Qian Yuan were to fight Wu Xiang, he would have almost no chance of winning.
However, this doesn't mean that Wuxiang can stand still and let Qian Yuan attack him at will without any problem. At the Qian Yuan level, one has already reached the Dao, and the difference is not so great that one's defenses cannot be broken no matter how much you attack.
Moreover, leaving behind a Protective Barrier means our own people aren't around...
If we let Qing Xuanzi break the altar, we need to leave four Huiyang Witcher to guard it. Otherwise, if he can break it slowly and without pressure, he will eventually be able to break it.
If another Li Duanxuan comes along, what's the point of playing?
Not to mention that Sword Cultivator are known for their destructive power. In combat, one can use other clever methods to deal with them, but this mode of leaving a target for them to bombard is simply handing Li Duanxuan an opportunity to attack.
With a single sword strike, the Four Symbols Formation was broken, and the Witcher stumbled backward.
The Protective Barrier of the two swords were cracked and on the verge of collapse.
The Three Swords Altar collapsed, and smoke and dust filled the sky.
Qing Xuanzi was overjoyed. "Thank you so much, Brother Li! Our Taiyi Sect is Taiyi Sect grateful for your help!"
Li Duanxuan had a stupid thing to say in his heart: What's it to you? How many generations of my great-great-grandson are you?
He didn't even have time to reply before turning around and running away.
The spot where they stood had already turned into a sea of blood. Zuo Qingtian tried to stop it, but Xi Yue blocked his attack. In the end, he still couldn't completely stop it, and it had already descended. Li Duanxuan disappeared in a flash, and even after he was far away, he still felt a tightness in his chest.
The Formless Strike was so profound and mysterious that it could not be fully explained by its power. Even the slightest glancing blow caused him some minor injuries.
He didn't even dare to think about Qing Xuanzi was still alive; running away was the best course of action.
Zuo Qingtian stopped what he was doing in the sky, and Xi Yue stood in front of him with a smile, not making any more moves. The two of them looked at the collapsed altar and the drifting dust.
Xi Yue said calmly, "Now that the altar has been destroyed, the fate of the Great Qian Dynasty will no longer protect the Taotie summoning ritual. Do you want to carry out a massacre here to vent your anger, or go over there to clean up the mess?"
Zuo Qingtian looked at her quietly, his eyes filled with anger, but he didn't seem to be hysterically trying to vent his frustration.
At this level, it's no longer so low-level.
The fact that Tian Shu Shen Que and even Li Duan Xuan Qing Xuan Zi stopped the Wu Shen Zong was perfectly natural. They had been enemies and restrained each other for tens of thousands of years, with each side winning and losing, and it wasn't a matter of a single moment.
To resort to massacring an entire city to vent one's anger is just too low.
He didn't even bother with Qing Xuanzi.
"Xi Yue, the soul of the Four Fiends, is bound to arrive. It will be either Taowu. You can stop it for a while, but not forever. If it's not my Witch God Sect, then someone else will." Zuo Qingtian's figure slowly faded away, leaving his words in the air. "Your Celestial Pivot Divine Palace, you contradict yourselves in many ways. What are you pretending to be, a messenger of justice, an arbiter of the world? One day, you yourselves will become the sacrifice."
Xi Yue watched his departing Blood Markings quietly and murmured, "Human will can conquer nature."
A sect that claims to be able to sense the secrets of heaven and positions itself as the pivot of heaven says that man can conquer nature... This statement is strangely incongruous.
Li Duanxuan, who had run a long way, stopped and looked back, seemingly lost in thought.
Back then, I led my people to rise up in the south of the sky. In the distance, I saw fire like a phoenix above the rift valley, and Fairy treading on the fire and soaring through the air. It was a sight to behold, and that's when I had the idea of seeking immortals.
It wasn't necessarily admiration for the beauty of some Fairy, but rather a longing and yearning for that celestial realm, so he embarked on the path of immortality, abandoning his country.
At that time, he was probably fighting with someone...
But did she know the consequences of those three sword strikes today?
A thousand years later, she still sent her disciple to Southern Li. Did she foresee some kind of change that would arise from this?
That place seems very strange. Besides the monsters lurking beneath the rift, there might also be some kind of vortex buried there, the origin of everything...
He was just an ordinary person who had learned some miscellaneous Daoist Arts and Swordsmanship, but it seems he was involved in some extraordinary cause.
Xi Yue turned to look at him, and he was looking at Xi Yue as well.
Xi Yue waved her hand. "Little King, you didn't fancy me back then, did you?"
Li Duanxuan staggered and almost fell over.
On the border of Xiliang, Li Wuxian stood quietly on the city wall.
The destruction of the Dragon Abyss Altar severed the ties connecting it to the fate of the Da Qian Kingdom, and she sensed it even though she was thousands of miles away.
Zuo Qingtian said, Xi Yue's calculations regarding his lack of correlation with the universe are unlikely to be precise; she can only get a general idea. If everything were that accurate, Celestial Pivot Divine Palace could easily set an ambush and make him suffer greatly.
The reason they intervened so precisely this time was, of course, because someone had tipped them off and called for it.
It was Li Wuxian who sent Tian Shu as an envoy.
This battle was a life-or-death struggle for Li Wuxian. Any one of her opponents was a thousand times stronger than her army, and every move she made was fraught with danger and uncertainty. Not only were others afraid to touch her, but once she was committed, what was there to be afraid of?
It's like gambling with your life.
From Qin Yi and Li Qingjun's initial perspective as bystanders, there was a slight misunderstanding, as if she were plotting everything, like a mastermind behind the scenes... However, the angle was wrong... She was not the schemer, she was not the boss.
She was a rebel.
With the Taiyi Sect's caliber interfering in the struggle for supremacy, no matter how much effort they put in, the Great Qian Dynasty was powerless to resist and could only surrender the world and kneel to welcome the Xiliang army.
But Li Wuxian refused.
On her slender spine lay the iron will of her father and aunt, as well as the influence of her seemingly cheerful but actually unyielding master. She never thought of admitting defeat, never thought of surrendering.
She was Qi Ingestion. Why should immortals interfere in the mortal realm? Here, the general trend was clear, the people lived in peace, and all political and military calculations had been made, yet they couldn't withstand a single word from them.
Admittedly, I also cultivate myself and have the assistance of the Hidden Dragon Temple, but such low-level cultivators from small sects are always within the acceptable range. At this level, they can be killed by a hail of arrows from thousands of troops. At worst, you can smear some talisman water on the arrows to enhance them, or set up an ambush in advance. There are always ways to break through, and it does not exceed the scope of human warfare.
The other side also has members from the Outer Sect the Taiyi Sect, which is normal at this level. Cultivators are just large-scale warriors, serving different purposes.
This is different from the Taiyi Sect taking action personally.
Human affairs should be left to humankind; they shouldn't interfere. Before this, Li Wuxian hadn't even expected her master to get involved, since he was wanted and no one knew where he was hiding. She hadn't even considered going to her ancestors either, since they were just old scoundrels who didn't care about the lives of their descendants.
This was entirely Daqian's own affair; her initial plan only came into play when the Southern Li Force finally had a chance to prove its worth.
However, the Taiyi Sect's involvement wasn't limited to the Outer Sect; they were already showing signs of becoming fully involved. Although it wasn't obvious at the time, Li Wuxian knew perfectly well that once the Outer Sect couldn't play a role, they would definitely take matters into their own hands.
What should we do then?
Kneel down?
Li Wuxian was willing to negotiate with a tiger for its skin. The Witch God Sect and the Taiyi Sect had a feud, so she could try to see if the Witch God Sect was willing to help. The Mountains and Rivers Luck was her biggest bargaining chip, and she believed the Witch God Sect would want it.
This is what it means to Driving off tigers by swallowing wolves.
Lingxu said, "It's easy to invite a god, but difficult to send him away. What should we do?"
Li Wuxian knew that not only was it difficult to send away the gods, but the most dangerous thing about dealing with a tiger was that the tiger would eat her. She was the one who told Xi Yue that the first human-eating emperor to appear in the world was the Taotie.
The Witch God Sect is not invincible; there is also the Celestial Pivot Divine Palace in the world.
The Witch God Sect borrowed the fortune of the Great Qian Dynasty in an attempt to summon the Taotie. At that time, they secretly notified the Celestial Pivot Divine Palace, which was both a way to save themselves and to drive away the gods.
When Bo Yi died, the Witch God retreated, and the Celestial Pivot Divine Palace remained aloof and indifferent.
Then the seas will be calm and the rivers will be clear.
She couldn't have predicted Li Duanxuan's intervention, nor did she know that Qin Yi and Li Qingjun had followed her all the way. She could only do everything within her power to respond and fulfill her responsibilities.
If destiny favors me, then let me see.
Is it possible that all human achievements, the vast universe, the art of slaying dragons, and the power to dominate mountains and rivers can only earn you the look of looking at ants?
How many patriots sacrificed their lives, how many heroic tales were told, how many brave men grew old and gray – are they all worthless in your eyes?
You fear cause and effect, and calculate the pros and cons, yet you pretend to be immortals!
The Red Door in the distance suddenly shook.
As if an earthquake were approaching, the city walls, which were far away, began to tremble, and many ordinary soldiers lost their footing.
A summons from the Taotie will surely bring an unexpected outcome!
Because Li Wuxian previously "played a trick" and cut off Qing Wei's ineffective sword strike, it wasn't just being cheeky; it was giving him good fortune!
