Luan Shenglin's figure flickered and disappeared from the rooftop, heading straight for Long Zhexian, the number one expert in the Eastern Realm.

"Hua Yuzi's Flowing Silver Mask is of a high grade, a seventh-grade Hundred Character Scripture Magic Tool?" Li Weiyi said.

"It must have shattered more than ten formations in one strike!"

Qi Xiao nodded. "Hua Yuzi has an extremely powerful background. He possesses the bloodline of Ancient Immortal Giant Beast and has Exceptional Talent. The powerful elders behind him will definitely give him some good things for self-defense."

On the night of the seventh day, Li Weiyi and Yang Qingxi originally planned to kill Hua Yuzi in their first move.

The most dangerous first move was blocked by Hua Yuzi using her Flowing Silver Mask.

Fortunately, he was never given a chance to activate the Flowing Silver Mask.

Of course, even if Hua Yuzi activated it, it wouldn't be too overpowered. That attack just now was only possible because more than two hundred martial artists at the Five Seas Realm activated it together, allowing the power of the seventh-grade Hundred Character Scripture Magic Tool to be fully displayed.

Even Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivator would have to retreat at the sight of this attack.

Zuoqiu Ting transmitted his voice through the darkness beneath the city wall. "Send a signal to Zhu Yibai and his group to attack the headquarters in the Far West Ash Region. I want to see whether Phoenix-born Unicorn-young will continue to deal with Dragon Gate or retreat to the West City."

Li Weiyi understood Zuoqiu Ting's playing style!

Tonight's battle is of paramount importance; Zuoqiu Ting is treating it like a decisive battle.

Phoenix-born Unicorn-young broke through Dragon Gate, Zuoqiu Courtyard attacked the headquarters of the Far West Ash Region.

With Ge Xiantong having breached the Lei Xiao Sect, another force from the Zuoqiu Courtyard will undoubtedly attack the Governor's Mansion.

In this way, even if the Dragon Gate and Lei Xiao Sect are eliminated, the strength of the strongest Far West Ash Region and the Imperial Court will inevitably be halved.

Only by achieving this can Zuoqiu Courtyard become the biggest winner over the next three days.

I can't do it...

The next three days will be extremely difficult.

The outcome depends on tonight.

Zuoqiu Courtyard possessed the most accurate intelligence network, thus avoiding strategic misjudgments. The distribution of the enemy's strength was completely transparent to them.

"Dragon Hall is no match for Phoenix-born Unicorn-young; he cannot die."

Zuoqiu Ting flew away, leaped off the city wall, and disappeared into the night in an instant.

Li Weiyi asked, "Are Zuoqiu Ting and Zuoqiu Hong only going to save Dragon Hall and Lu Cangsheng tonight?"

Qi Xiao nodded. "Once everyone's headquarters and strongholds have been breached, the final outcome will depend on the duel between the top experts. Only by bringing the Dragon Hall and Lu Cangsheng under our command can the Zuoqiu Courtyard have a chance of victory."

Li Weiyi asked, "Promise them a certain amount of Longevity Pill, Dragon Souls, and Dragon Bones?"

"That's right! In terms of keeping promises, the other three families are no match for Zuoqiu Courtyard."

Qi Xiao opened the invitation to the top three again; inside was a Dragon Bone Ticket: "Twenty tickets for the Longevity Pill; more than half must gather in the East City tonight."

"Three for Ge Xiantong, four for Phoenix-born Unicorn-young, four for Tang Wanqiu, two for the Dragon Hall, and one for Lu Cangsheng..."

Li Weiyi asked, "Where is Xue Jian Tang Ting located?"

Qi Xiao pointed to a spot near the edge of the map inside the invitation. "The Xue Jian Tang Ting is guarding the outer city wall, presumably to prevent martial artists from the Dragon Gate and Lei Xiao Sect from escaping Qiuzhou City with the invitations. Ultimately, the Xue Jian Tang Ting's strength is still quite different from that of the Far West Ash Region and the Imperial Court."

Shi Shishi pulled out his second-class invitation and sighed, "Brother Weiyi, our invitations are completely blank, like scraps of paper."

"Can't wait?" Li Weiyi said with a smile.

Shi Shishi, "We need to get at least one Dragon Bone Ticket tonight, so we can lock down the location of all the tickets in the city."

"Whoosh!"

A bright white light rose from the direction of the Dragon Gate stronghold.

A jade boat inscribed with a hundred characters of scripture took flight, enveloped in white clouds of magical energy, and rushed straight out of the city, instantly passing over the heads of Li Weiyi and his companions.

Below the jade boat, the experts from the Far West Ash Region, each displaying their unique skills, chased after the ship on the ground.

The three immediately jumped off the city wall and hid.

Qi Xiao opened the invitation. "On the jade boat, there are five Dragon Seed Ticket and six Dragon Bone Ticket. On the ground, the pursuing martial artists from the Far West Ash Region... the Dragon Seed Ticket and Dragon Bone Ticket together exceed twenty."

"There are so many experts! First-class, second-class, third-class, and even second-class—none of them are weak, yet they appear in droves," Shi Shishi.

Li Weiyi said, "This is a rare opportunity to take advantage of the chaos. Tonight, I'll help you seize the Dragon Bone Ticket and the Dragon Seed Ticket."

Qi Xiao immediately patted his chest and promised, "If you can help me obtain a Dragon Seed Ticket, it will be like having given me a second life. From now on, Qi Xiao will go through fire and water for you at your behest."

On the outer city wall, six Seventh Sea Martial Cultivators from Xue Jian Tang Ting joined forces to unleash a Giant Sword, slicing down the Dragon Gate's Magic Tool Jade Boat.

Standing atop the city wall, Tang Wanqiu clasped his hands in a fist salute and smiled, proclaiming loudly, "Five Dragon Seed Ticket and six Dragon Bone Ticket. If you all stay, Wanqiu will immediately grant you passage. Dragon Gate has already fallen; there's no need to fight to the death. We are all Rebel Army; the Imperial Court is our common enemy."

Seeing that they could not escape the city, the dozens of Dragon Gate experts on the Magic Tool Jade Boat immediately scattered and fled in all directions.

Tang Wanqiu's face darkened, and she said, "Chase them!"

Li Weiyi had taken in the entire battle tonight, but something felt off, though he couldn't quite put his finger on it. So, he shared this feeling with Qi Xiao and Shi Shishi.

Shi Shishi, "Don't think too much about it. The whole city is fighting tonight, with various forces vying for power and their relationships are incredibly complex. Even the leaders of the major powers, who are racking their brains for tonight's battle, can only wait and see. A clear outcome will only be clear after the battle ends."

"Ah..."

A low, agonizing scream echoed down the street near the three people.

Li Weiyi stood in the shadows under the eaves, Conceal Qi, and looked out onto the wide street.

All I saw was...

Yuwen Tuozhen, the Young Master of Night City, was riding the Night Scale Giant Beast and chasing after a martial artist from the Dragon Gate. The two were pursuing and fleeing, and both were using long spears as their magical weapons.

Each time the spears clashed, large ripples of energy spread outwards, causing snow from the streets and rooftops to fly into the air.

The buildings on both sides of the street were shrouded in Light Veil, flickering between light and shadow as they battled.

That martial arts practitioner from the Dragon Gate was seriously injured, with a bloody hole in his chest.

"They are Yuwen Tuozhen, the fifth-ranked second-class soldier in the Southern Territory, and Long Jingsong, the fourth-ranked third-class soldier in the Eastern Territory."

Qi Xiao looked at the invitation in his hand, his eyes gleaming with eagerness. "One Dragon Seed Ticket and two Dragon Bone Ticket. What a great opportunity!"

"Pfft!"

Yuwen Tuozhen flew off the back of the Night Scale Giant Beast, his blood flowing like Dragon Roar. The magic weapon spear in his hand, which had been tainted by the Night Emperor Toad Poison, was as fast as lightning and pierced through Long Jingsong's neck.

"The top three in the Eastern Territory are nothing special; if they were in the Southern Territory, they would only be ranked as B."

Yuwen Tuozhen scoffed and squatted down, rummaging through the corpse. He had just obtained Long Jingsong's invitation when his expression suddenly changed. His internal energy transformed into a wave of energy, surging wildly behind him.

Qi Xiao, wielding a broad-backed battle sword, flew above Yuwen Tuozhen form and unleashed a bright blade of light several meters long.

The burst of magical energy released by Yuwen Tuozhen was pierced by the blade's edge.

"Bang!"

He thrust out his long spear.

Because he was caught off guard, Yuwen Tuozhen was forced back several steps. Upon seeing who it was, he immediately shouted coldly, "Qi Xiao, are you risking your life for the Dragon Seed Ticket?"

"Who isn't risking their life for the Dragon Seed Ticket?"

As Qi Xiao unleashed his second strike, Battle Intent five zhang tall appeared behind him.

Both were Pure Immortal Body at the Great Perfection of the Five Seas Realm, but one was a second-class member of the Southern Realm, and the other was a third-class member.

In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged dozens of blows.

Seizing the opportunity, Shi Shishi emerged from the ground behind Yuwen Tuozhen and punched him in the back.

After a successful strike, immediately retreat.

Yuwen Tuozhen withstood Shi Shishi's punch and Qi Xiao's knife strike, then quickly fled to the right, landing on the rooftop. A trail of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth as he gritted his teeth and cautiously surveyed his surroundings.

Shi Shishi was already waiting on the rooftop, blocking his way, and said with a smile, "Young City Lord, are you confident in taking on two opponents at once?"

Yuwen Tuozhen forcefully suppressed his injuries, and the Crescent Moon Mark between his eyebrows lit up, revealing the Battle Intent.

It was a dazzling crescent moon, five zhang long, suspended behind him and above his head, with magical energy and mist flowing around it, exuding boundless wonder.

He snorted, "Shi Shishi, you just broke through to the Seventh Sea, right? You and Qi Xiao joined forces, thinking you could stop me?"

Yuwen Tuozhen let out a loud whistle, Night Scale Giant Beast in the distance roared, immediately spreading its broad wings and flying towards the rooftop.

On the street, Li Weiyi carefully examined Long Jingsong's corpse, then picked up the Dragon Scale Spear from the ground and threw it.

"Pfft!"

The Dragon Scale Spear pierced through the abdomen of the Night Scale Giant Beast, passing right through its body and flying into the night sky.

Blood splattered, screams and cries of agony filled the air.

Li Weiyi, carrying the Yellow Dragon Sword and wearing a brand-new Daoist robe, looked up at the rooftop and said, "I've been here for so long, how come the young city lord didn't notice me?"

Qi Xiao drew his sword and blocked Yuwen Tuozhen from another direction, laughing loudly, "One against three, are you still confident?"

Yuwen Tuozhen recognized Li Weiyi as a martial artist at the Fifth Realm of the Five Seas, but his apprehension towards him was even greater than that towards Qi Xiao and Shi Shishi.

He said coldly, "You've finally shown yourself! Tonight in Dongcheng, the number of people who want to kill you is more than you can count on two hands."

"Guess why I dared to show myself?"

Li Weiyi Clear Void Cicada Evasion Step, stepping on green smoke, his body turning into countless afterimages, walking in an arc, and instantly appearing in front of Yuwen Tuozhen from the street.

He raised his sword, and the divine image of his Battle Intent manifested, illuminating all directions.

Wow, so fast!

Yuwen Tuozhen was greatly alarmed. He mobilized all his internal energy and thrust out a long spear, a first-grade magic weapon containing a Hundred Character Scripture Magic Tool.

One hundred and twenty-seven white scriptures appeared on the shaft of the spear, flowing rapidly like a waterfall rushing towards the spearhead.

"Boom!"

"Bang! Bang!"

Swords and spears clashed, the sound of metal hitting metal echoing continuously.

After more than ten exchanges, all the white scriptures exploded and scattered.

Yuwen Tuozhen felt an overwhelming force coming from the long spear. His internal injuries could no longer be suppressed, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, falling from the roof.

"You are... Inheritor-level..."

If he hadn't fought Li Weiyi in person, Yuwen Tuozhen would never have believed that Li Weiyi had grown to such a level. No wonder he dared to participate in tonight's chaotic battle without any scruples.

Every inheritor at the Qianlong Lantern Festival is a dragon crossing the river.
