The Mysterious Insects Show Their Might

"I'll go scout ahead first. If there's an ambush in town, we won't be able to escape."

Zuo Sheng feigned caution, then used his movement technique to become a ghostly afterimage, disappearing among the densely packed houses with blue tiles and white walls in the town.

"What incredible movement skills! The Zuo Brothers' cultivation is terrifyingly profound."

Li Weiyi had long ago worn the Provincial Governor's Official Robe underneath, just in case.

Zuo Sheng did not return for a long time.

Zuo Shi, who remained behind, had unknowingly retreated to a distance of two zhang behind Zuoqiu Qingying and Li Weiyi, his old face growing increasingly gloomy. In particular, when he stared at Zuoqiu Qingying, there was a strong hatred in his eyes.

Zuoqiu Qingying sensed something was off. Her gaze fixed on the market town a few miles ahead, she whispered, "Something's strange. Perhaps we should head back to the city... even though it'll be a bit embarrassing..."

"Good!"

Without warning, Li Weiyi instantly unleashed the Clear Void Cicada Evasion Step, transforming into a wisp of green smoke, dodging Zuo Shi, and sped off to the right, disappearing into the night.

A look of surprise flashed across Zuoqiu Qingying and Zuo Shi's faces.

The next instant, Zuo Shi roared, his half-white hair standing on end like a lion's mane. His right hand burst into flames, illuminating the night, and he struck the unsuspecting Zuoqiu Qingying on the back.

"Bang!"

Zuoqiu Qingying's protective runes blocked the attack, preventing her physical body from being shattered by a single blow.

"Left..."

Her body was thrown forward, blood gushing from her mouth, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Swish! Swish..."

In the Qingyi Town, several figures darted out from the rooftops and headed towards her.

Even now, Zuoqiu Qingying only believed that she had been ambushed by the Jiu Li Hidden Gate. She activated the speed runes on her body and fled towards the direction of Qiuzhou City.

"I'm leaving her to you. I'm going to pursue Li Weiyi."

Zuo Shi shouted to the group in the distance, then formed a hand seal and unleashed the fire-escape technique "Flame Robe Technique".

His internal energy surged forth, burning fiercely and transforming into a fiery robe on his body. This greatly increased his speed as he chased after Li Weiyi's escape route.

The combat power of Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivator varies greatly, but the speed difference is not as significant.

Therefore, after martial arts practitioners reach the Dao Seed Realm, the first Dao technique they cultivate and delve into will inevitably be related to survival.

Speed-based and stealth-based abilities are the preferred choices.

Someone like Zuo Shi, who has cultivated for nearly a hundred years, has a level of expertise in Daoist arts that is far beyond what those younger inheritors can match.

"So fast!"

Li Weiyi had only gone twenty or thirty miles when Zuo Shi caught up behind him, and waves of heat came one after another.

He wasn't sure if Shi Jiuzhai had caught up, so he could only rely on himself at this moment.

The reason for luring Zuoqiu Qingying to Qingyi Town was to use her death to make Zuoqiu Cangwu and the Zuoqiu Courtyard "pay special attention" to this town, thus using a borrowed knife to kill a tiger and driving away wolves to devour tigers. They wanted to see if Qingyi Town was truly a den of dragons and tigers.

The appearance of Zuo Sheng and Zuo Shi was purely accidental.

Now we have to face this unexpected situation head-on.

"Boy, you noticed it all along, didn't you? Hmph, your Jiu Li Hidden Gate is quite capable."

Zuo Shi chased Li Weiyi to within twenty feet of him, and his body erupted with fiery energy, instantly transforming into a huge fiery vortex with a diameter of twenty feet.

The surrounding vegetation burst into flames instantly.

The big tree becomes a torch, and the small grass turns to dust.

"Is this Dao Heart Manifestation?"

Li Weiyi was caught in a vortex of flames, her body being pulled backward by a violent force, from which she could not escape.

It's like being bound by thousands of ropes.

Zuo Shi was far more powerful than Wang Zhi.

"Whoosh!"

The Blood Handprint Demonic Armor is activated, releasing blood mist and crimson scriptures to resist flames that can incinerate the body.

Li Weiyi let the vortex force pull him backward, then suddenly drew his sword, its light radiating, and slashed down from mid-air.

The bright Sword Qi seemed poised to cleave through the opponent's Dao Heart Manifestation.

"Ha ha!"

Zuo Shi neither dodged nor evaded, but let out a long roar and unleashed a palm strike.

Another Daoist technique has been unleashed!

It is the "Severing Flame Blade" that many masters of the Zuoqiu Courtyard have practiced.

Once the Daoist technique is used, combat power increases dramatically.

"Bang!"

The Sword Qi of the Yellow Dragon Sword was shattered by the palm strike, and the force slammed into Li Weiyi.

Li Weiyi was sent flying backward, falling several feet away. The blood mist covering his entire body was dispersed, and his body felt as if he had been struck by an iron rod.

"Hidden Person, you haven't cultivated the Dao yet? With your Five Seas Realm cultivation, you actually managed to withstand one of my Dao techniques. You're truly remarkable." Zuo Shi pursued and attacked again.

"A hundred years of cultivation has only brought me to the Second Heaven the Dao Seed Realm. Withstanding one of your attacks is nothing to be proud of."

Li Weiyi knew very well that he was not yet a match for a martial artist at the Second Heaven Dao Seed Realm, so he decisively released Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors in preparation for a quick victory.

Upon seeing the Seven Mysterious Insects, Zuo Shi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he became cautious.

"Just based on them?"

Zuo Shi unleashed a palm strike, aiming at the two Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors that were coming straight at him.

It didn't fly away with a single palm strike as he had expected.

The two Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors, one spewing Golden Crow Flame from its mouth and the other releasing lightning from its eyes, clashed with the palm wind, yet the two were only slightly at a disadvantage.

As Zuo Shi Shixin was filled with astonishment, one of the Phoenix Wing Moth Emperor, which was significantly faster than the other six, flew close to his legs, its wings spread wide, sharp as knives.

Zuo Shi was terrified and immediately leaped into the air.

The sound of swords ringing out came from above.

"Not good!"

Without even looking up, Zuo Shi hastily swung out Severing Flame Blade sky.

For seasoned powerhouses, Daoist techniques are more useful than magical artifacts, not only because they allow for complete freedom of movement, but also because their power is comparable to that of magical artifacts.

They spent decades researching and refining their chosen Daoist arts.

This time, Li Weiyi learned her lesson and didn't clash head-on with his Daoist techniques, immediately using her movement skills to dodge.

Zuo Shi was intimidated by the fighting power of Li Weiyi and the Seven Little Ones, and hurriedly used the Flame Robe Escape Technique to prepare to escape and avoid their sharp edge.

"Why... is one missing...?"

Zuo Shi became alert, and his expression changed drastically.

Seven Phoenixes appeared out of thin air, their bodies returning to nine inches long, their claws covered in fine dragon scales piercing through the protective aura around Zuo Shi's neck and penetrating inside.

The scales growing on the claws are a result of the creature eating dragon bones.

"Ah..."

Zuo Shi cried out in pain.

He had just knocked the Seven Phoenixes away when the Great Phoenix transformed into a giant moth several meters long, its membranous wings like knives, slashing at his waist and sending him flying.

"Pfft!"

Li Weiyi shifted his body to the side, and with a swift movement, thrust out his sword like lightning, piercing through the man's brow before he could even land.

The body fell to the ground with a thud.

His eyes were wide open; he died with extreme resentment.

The vortex of flames formed by Zuo Shidao's inner thoughts gradually dissipated in the night wind.

Li Weiyi sensed the aura of a powerful figure rapidly approaching from the direction of Qingyi Town, and his expression immediately turned serious.

Without even touching the corpse, he directly put it into his spatial bag, then Seven Little Ones into his Insect Pouch, activated the Spatial Power of the Provincial Governor's Official Robe, and transformed it into a cloud of purple mist and light, disappearing from the spot.

A moment later.

The Fourth Divine Son, Zuo Sheng, and two other expert rice warriors appeared on this ravaged battlefield.

The Fourth Divine Son examined the blood and traces on the ground.

Zuo Sheng's hands were stained with blood. He had previously killed Zuoqiu Qingying with his bare hands. Now, Dao Heart Intent to sense Zuo Shi's location.

Two skilled rice-farming experts went to search for the location and traces of Li Weiyi's escape.

Zuo Sheng's eyes were filled with rage as he angrily said, "I can't sense Zuo Shi anymore; he must have been killed."

One of the rice-man experts said, "There's no trace of the enemy leaving within a radius of several dozen feet. It's really strange. Could it be Earth Evasion Technique is a type of magic that allows one to escape from the ground)?"

"It's a spatial escape technique! Just now, I vaguely sensed spatial fluctuations. It must be a guardian expert from the Jiu Li Hidden Gate who killed Zuo Shi and took Li Weiyi away."

The Fourth Divine Son added, "If we search further, we should be able to find traces. But by then, the enemy will have already escaped far enough to be caught."

"Aww!"

A low, resonant Dragon Roar echoed from the pitch-black night.

Long Ting's tall and imposing figure appeared ten feet away from the Fourth Divine Son, stepping on wisps of mist. Behind him stood several demonic figures, with Demon Race experts accompanying him.

Long Ting asked coldly, "Where is Li Weiyi?"

The Fourth Divine Son said, "They were rescued by the people of the Jiu Li Hidden Gate!"

"You Twin Rice Cult are truly more trouble than you're worth. I've waited so long in Qiuzhou City before Li Weiyi finally came out."

Long Ting inherited the Dragon Soul and Azure Dragon Battle Intent of the Dragon Hall, and also obtained the Dragon Seed and Dragon Bone. Because his physique and the martial arts he had cultivated since childhood were more compatible with the Dragon Seed, his cultivation level has now surpassed that of everyone else.

Even when facing the Fourth Divine Son, he could still hold his own in terms of aura and remain proud.

He regarded Lu Cangsheng, Tang Wanqiu, and Li Weiyi as the three main culprits who killed the Dragon Hall.

More than half a year has passed, and the hatred in my heart has not only not diminished, but has become even stronger.

The Fourth Divine Son's eyes turned cold. "If you have the ability, then go after Dragon Gate! Perhaps you can intercept him before he escapes back to Qiuzhou City."

Long Ting said, "Li Weiyi will never escape back to Qiuzhou City! He met with Tang Wanzhou last night, and his departure from the city today must be related to that. His next stop will definitely be the Underground Immortal Mansion. I'll intercept and kill him. The people from the Zuoqiu Courtyard will be here soon. You'd better watch yourselves."

Suddenly, something came to mind.

Long Ting stopped, turned around, and patted the boundary bag at his waist.

Enveloped in magical energy, a coffin flew out of the dimensional bag and crashed to the ground.

A sinister smile appeared on his handsome face, "Here's a gift for you. Enjoy it, then throw it into your rice paddies and let it turn into fertilizer."

After Long Ting and the Demon Race warriors left, the Fourth Divine Son pushed the coffin lid open halfway and saw a Pure Immortal Body woman bound inside, who had been beaten unconscious. She was wearing the Magic Tool Martial Robe of the Lei Xiao Sect.

"Is this the ultimate hatred? The Long Ting is completely different from before; its mentality is truly twisted," the Fourth Divine Son muttered to himself.

Li Weiyi did not flee, but instead used the Spatial Power of the Provincial Governor's Official Robe to teleport seven or eight zhang underground, wrapping himself in Ghost Flag and concealing his aura.

Hearing the conversation above, I was extremely worried and secretly wondered who had been captured by the Long Ting.

Although Li Weiyi wasn't personally responsible for the death of the Dragon Hall, he was undoubtedly directly responsible. How could the Long Ting not seek revenge?

"Boom!"

A great earthquake shook the earth, and the sound of galloping horses could be heard from above.

The three groups that had previously chased Li Weiyi and his group out of the city included one group sent by Zuoqiu Cangwu to contain the experts of the Jiu Li Hidden Gate. This group had now surrounded the Fourth Divine Son and his companions.
