"I don't know if my magical energy can sever the Ten Nights of Lingering. Perhaps we should hurry and find a master from your Jiu Li Tribe, like Cangli?"

Shi Shishi really wanted to part ways with Li Weiyi, feeling that if he stayed with him, Yang Qingxi would easily kill him. But then he thought about how Li Weiyi had returned to the Bright Moon Seven Stars Pavilion, and it would be too disloyal of him to just leave like that!

Li Weiyi said, "With Zhu Huan dead, everyone is in danger. The top experts of the younger generation will definitely keep their sharpness hidden. I'm afraid no one will know where Cangli is living now."

Qi Wangshu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "The experts we know are all in the South City. The journey from the West City to the South City is the most dangerous. Brother Bai Yuan, are there any young experts from the Zuoqiu Courtyard living in the West City?"

Qi Wangshu did not request the protection of the older generation of powerful figures from the Zuoqiu Courtyard, because Zhu Huan's death already told everyone that the Transcendent Ones had already set the rules.

If the older generation of powerful figures had intervened, they would have already rescued Zhu Huan at the Bright Moon Seven Stars Pavilion.

Otherwise, how could those Young Venerable dare to be so arrogant?

Zuoqiu Baiyuan smiled wryly, "A month ago, all the experts capable of participating in the Qianlong Lantern Festival had already moved into the South City."

Li Weiyi suddenly stopped. "We have to split up. You two go first. If you want to lend a hand, hurry to the South City and ask for help. Li Weiyi be extremely grateful. I'll take the Li Kun Street route back to the South City!"

"Alright, I'll go back to the wolf's den and get help."

Just as Shi Shishi rushed out, Li Weiyi grabbed his clothes and pulled him back.

"Brother Weiyi, I am seriously injured."

Shi Shishi was almost in tears!

Li Weiyi said, "It's all your fault for speaking without thinking. If you hadn't said that you wanted to capture Yang Qingxi in public, she might not have been so determined to kill me at this critical moment. So you have to face this danger with me. Don't worry, if we escape alive tonight, I will reward you handsomely."

"I'll go ask my brother."

"I'm going to find the successor."

Qi Wangshu and Zuoqiu Baiyuan were not the type to dawdle, and they knew they wouldn't be of much help against a master like Yang Qingxi, so they quickly flashed away.

Shi Shishi, "Brother Weiyi, actually I think going back to the beach and swimming back to South City is also a good option."

Li Weiyi said, "It's too late. The seaside is too far. If our magical energy can sever the Ten Nights of Lingering, then everything will be fine. If it can't, I estimate that no matter which direction we escape in, she will catch up with us within half an hour."

"You don't smell of perfume. Go to Likun Street and be ready to meet me at any time."

After saying this, Li Weiyi rushed into the alley next to her, quickly changing her appearance and figure.

If you're tracking by scent, then make the route as convoluted as possible to create difficulties for her and buy her more time.

Li Weiyi weaved through streets and alleys, leaping through houses and bounds, always moving along Li Kun Street as the central axis. At the same time, his eyes quickly searched for the Hidden Gate markers.

Yin Thirteen had told him that there was an important stronghold of the Hidden Gate near Kun Street in the West City, which was another reason why he sent Shi Shishi away.

"Luckily, we didn't return to Qin Garden. If Yang Qingxi had found it, it would have been a real disaster," Li Weiyi thought to himself.

Shi Shishi was truly loyal; he didn't run away alone and kept a distance of two blocks from him. During this time, he even bought a sesame seed cake the size of a washbasin and ate it as he walked.

Time passed second by second.

Just as Li Weiyi thought that the aroma had long been blocked and that she might have overestimated Yang Qingxi, she leaped out of the alley and prepared to return to Likun Street to meet up with Shi Shishi.

Just as he leaped onto the three-story-high tiled roof, he saw a beautiful figure wearing a veil standing on the other side of the roof, waiting for his arrival.

That beautiful figure, dressed in a green robe, with flawless, jade-white skin and an indescribably slender and captivating figure, stood gracefully amidst the wind and snow, her mere presence a testament to her beauty.

Li Weiyi glanced at it, then retreated decisively as if he had seen a ghost, landing back in the narrow alleyway with great fear.

He fled five steps before abruptly stopping and remaining still.

He drew the Yellow Dragon Sword, which he had prepared long ago, and fixed his tiger-like eyes fixed on the person in front of him.

Yang ZhiYong, the third-ranked expert of the Sui Sect, stood in the center of the alleyway ten zhang away, holding a battle halberd wrapped in black cloth. Due to the rapid circulation of his internal energy, his Pure Immortal Body shone as brightly as a lamp.

I've met him before at the Bright Moon Seven Stars Pavilion, so we're old acquaintances!

Li Weiyi glanced back and silently saw Yang Qingxi, wearing a veil, appear on the edge of the rooftop above her, like Immortal Princess in green standing in the heavens. A bee with colorful wings flew above her head.

The spot where she stood was the highest point in the area.

No matter which direction Li Weiyi fled in, she could block his path in an instant, even faster.

Except for the direction Yang ZhiYong standing in.

Every second counts, Li Weiyi dared not waste a moment. He charged directly at Yang ZhiYong. Only by breaking through the encirclement at top speed could he have a chance of survival.

"Roar!"

Li Weiyi let out a long howl, using his voice to inform Shi Shishi.

Unexpectedly, Shi Shishi's voice also rang out at the same time, clearly indicating that he had also encountered a powerful enemy.

Yang ZhiYong glanced at Li Weiyi, who was approaching swiftly, and simply snorted. Battle Intent four zhang high rose behind him, and he swung his battle halberd out fiercely.

"Sizzle!"

The black cloth covering the halberd instantly turned to dust, revealing the gleaming halberd blade inside.

This halberd strike embodies the experience Yang ZhiYong from countless battles. It combines feints and real attacks, allowing him to either kill Li Weiyi with a single blow or block all his escape routes.

It can be said that Yang ZhiYong did not underestimate this unknown junior who was only at the Spring Realm a few months ago.

Li Weiyi felt the magical energy emanating from Yang ZhiYong's body condense into a liquid state, turning the alleyway into a river.

The halberd that came crashing down seemed to possess some kind of magic, hovering above his head. No matter how he tried to move, he couldn't change that, and could only watch helplessly as the halberd came crashing down.

"Whoosh!"

A Battle Intent appeared behind Li Weiyi, breaking through Yang ZhiYong's lock. His figure multiplied into countless forms, and he dodged by stepping on the right alley with a strange movement technique.

He naturally wanted to take this opportunity to rush behind Yang ZhiYong and escape directly into the distance.

Yang ZhiYong shocked. He never expected that his opponent could break through the suppression of his four-zhang-high Battle Intent.

But he was only startled for a moment. He drew a circle with his halberd, like a whip, and struck Li Weiyi, who was trying to escape along the wall.

Li Weiyi sighed inwardly. Yang ZhiYong too brilliant, his offense and defense transitioned seamlessly, leaving Li Wei with no choice but to meet his attack head-on.

"Boom!"

The powerful energy surged forth violently, and the sound of metal clashing was deafening.

The alleyway did not collapse, and the surrounding buildings were not damaged at all. Instead, Formation Script rose up.

The Zuoqiu Courtyard and the Du'e Temple transformed Qiuzhou City into a world of magical formations.

Li Weiyi was sent flying backward, quickly retreating to dissipate the force and returning to his original position. His entire arm, which had been holding the sword, ached as if it didn't belong to him.

Yang ZhiYong was utterly shocked and looked at Yang Qingxi: "Young Lady, are you sure he was still in the Spring Realm a few months ago? That's simply impossible."

Yang ZhiYong Pure Immortal Body cultivated to the Sixth Sea and was one of the top ten young masters in Lizhou. However, Li Weiyi almost escaped from his defenses and managed to stand up even after taking a blow from his halberd.

Yang ZhiYong believed that Li Weiyi was a martial artist who had cultivated the Sixth Sea Realm.

Yang Qingxi said, "Battle Intent height of two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) suggests a cultivation level of the Fourth Realm of the Five Seas."

"Even a mortal at the Fourth Realm of the Five Seas couldn't withstand my halberd strike just now," Yang ZhiYong.

Li Weiyi's arm had already recovered, and he couldn't very well tell the other party that he was only at the third stage of the Five Seas Realm. He tried his best to remain absolutely calm and think of a way to deal with the situation.

Suddenly, he let out a haughty sneer, "Yang ZhiYong, you're not a Nine Springs Perfected Person, are you? A Pure Immortal Body who has opened eight springs, taking a blow from your halberd is no difficult task for you. If it really comes down to a one-on-one fight, it's hard to say who will live and who will die."

Yang ZhiYong's biggest weakness was that he failed to open the Ninth Spring in the Spring Realm and was ridiculed by a martial artist of a lower realm. Even the most composed mind would be ignited with anger.

Li Weiyi continued, "To be honest, your halberd is completely unsuitable for street fighting. Here, in a one-on-one duel, you will surely lose to me."

"Such a narrow alley, how could it possibly prevent me from killing you?"

Yang ZhiYong stepped forward, his will and aura growing stronger, his eyes revealing murderous intent. "Young Lady, give me a chance. Within three moves, I will take her life!"

"I will make my move after three moves."

Yang Qingxi knew, of course, that Li Weiyi was stalling for time, so she wouldn't give him any chance.

Yang ZhiYong had already reached Li Weiyi. With a long thrust of his halberd, a beast-head-sized figure of light and shadow, with fangs and sharp teeth, burst forth from the tip of the high-level magic weapon-grade halberd, blocking the entire alleyway.

Li Weiyi no longer held back, and the three Battle Intent he had cultivated were revealed one after another.

With each additional layer, the power fluctuations on the sword increase by 10%.

"Boom!"

Taiyi Opens the Sea, shattering the beast head's radiant light and shadow.

Still no match in pure strength, Li Weiyi retreated three steps. The wind whistled in his ears, and he quickly unleashed the Sky-Turning Hand Seal to clash with Yang ZhiYong, who was closing in on him.

The clash of palm strikes resulted in a draw, with both men retreating simultaneously.

"That's it after two moves?"

Li Weiyi's palm was cracked and dripping blood, but thanks to the support of the Lesser Completion Golden Bone, he was not seriously injured.

After being repelled by Li Weiyi, Yang ZhiYong quickly calmed down, realizing that it was impossible to kill this young man quickly. "Young Lady, you are right. If this young man is not eliminated, our Sui Sect will surely perish at his hands. Let's attack together and finish this quickly."

A flippant and loud voice rang out. "Oh dear, is your Sui Sect's martial virtue so lacking? Two top experts have to join forces to kill a martial artist who has just reached the Five Seas Realm?"

Hearing Hidden Eleven's voice, Li Weiyi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly circulated his magic to stop the bleeding and heal his skin wounds, no longer needing to rely on that Guardian Wife.

Yang Qingxi looked in the direction from which the sound came, and saw a figure with a human body and a snake tail coming from the other end of the alley, gradually emerging from the shadows and revealing its true form.

I saw him during the battle at Immortal Burial Town; he was one of those mysterious people, suspected to be a master from the Jiu Li Hidden Gate.

Her tone was icy. "What, are you alone?"

Hidden Eleven laughed and said, "That's right! I was sleeping nearby, you know, snakes hibernate, but he yelled at me and woke me up. I quickly put on my clothes and rushed over. I wasn't wearing pants, what can I do? Clothes are easy to buy, but pants are hard to find with my size."

Li Weiyi asked, "Are you really the only one here?"

"I'm the only one who can beat Yang Qingxi." Hidden Eleven couldn't say too much.

Li Weiyi looked at the beautiful figure in blue above the three-story roof. "Miss Yang, do you think you can still kill me today?"

"It shouldn't be too difficult!" Yang Qingxi said.

"You hurry up and leave, I'll hold them off," Hidden Eleven, his smile fading and his expression becoming extremely serious.

Li Weiyi narrowed his eyes, staring intently at the bee-like insect on Yang Qingxi's shoulder. If he didn't kill the bee-like insect, even if Yang Qingxi escaped temporarily, there would be endless trouble in the future.

He knew, of course, that Hidden Eleven was no match for Yang Qingxi, but he was still a being of the Annihilation level, so the difference in their abilities wouldn't be too great.

"How about we try a different tactic? You hold Yang Qingxi back first, and once I've killed Yang ZhiYong, we can join forces to attack her."

Li Weiyi's fingers touched the Insect Pouch containing the Phoenix Wing Moth Emperor, preparing to activate some trump cards.

Hidden Eleven stared in disbelief, thinking he had misheard. "What is your cultivation level? To kill Yang ZhiYong?" Even he would have to wait thirty moves to kill Yang ZhiYong.
