Yao Qingxuan?

A dimly lit underground world.

On the vast Nether Spirit Plain, stretching for dozens of miles, a gentle breeze suddenly arose, fluttering Tang Wanzhou's dark robes and long hair.

She held her sword, gazing at the white-clad woman who was slowly walking across the plain. "Before the Qianlong Lantern Festival, Lingxiao had not seen Longevity Pill for sixty years. In this world, among those under sixty, having passed the sixty-year cycle, only Zuoqiu Ling earned my respect. Is this yet another one I've encountered today?"

A cloud bridge appeared beneath the white-clad woman's feet. Stepping on ripples of magical energy, she walked above the thorns, Kongxu, only a few miles away from Tang Wanzhou: "At the same cultivation level, Zuoqiu Ling once defeated by me."

Only those who understand Zuoqiu Ling's strength can comprehend the weight of these words.

Coincidentally, both Tang Wanzhou and Li Weiyi Zuoqiu Ling and knew how terrifying the Lingxiao First Seat's combat power was.

In the battle of the Mind Power Stone Wall of the Jiu Li Hidden Gate, Li Weiyi, when he was at the Eighth Spring, was no match for Zuoqiu Ling Spring realm. Only when they were at the same realm could he be confident of defeating him.

Tang Wanzhou sensed the aura of Longevity Realm Expert emanating from the woman in white.

At the top of the Starfire Altar behind him, the mysterious Saint Mind Master Old Man. The Old Man stood in the darkness, absorbing all light to conceal his figure and face, leaving only a shadowy silhouette.

Any Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivator would have collapsed and knelt on the ground long ago, facing the combined pressure of a Longevity Realm Martial Cultivator and a Saint Mind Master.

Tang Wanzhou's eyes showed no fear, but rather a surge of fighting spirit. "Within the last sixty years, why have I never seen or even heard of anyone capable of defeating Zuoqiu Ling at the same level? I have at least heard of the Sheng Family Ancestor standing atop the altar and can attest to his identity. Who exactly are you?"

At the top of the altar, the Old Man Saint Mind Master sighed softly, "These young people nowadays are truly formidable. In just a brief exchange, they discerned my identity. Such cultivation, such wisdom—how could those so-called Young Son of Heaven possibly compare?"

The woman in white said, "You're too young, and you've been in the north for a long time, so it's normal that you don't recognize me."

Tang Wanzhou sensed that the Saint Mind Master was setting up an array, so he rolled the Great Phoenix into his sleeve, used his movement technique to disappear at the edge of the cliff, and headed straight for Li Weiyi and Tuoba Butuo, who were frozen on the Nether Spirit Plain.

The woman in white had no expression on her face, and she gently raised the fingers of her right hand.

"Sizzle!"

On the Nether Spirit Plain, the glowing thorns, stimulated by a strange power, grew wildly, transforming into vines covered in sharp thorns.

These vines, enveloped in the aura of longevity, were as sharp as metal.

Tang Wanzhou swung his sword horizontally.

"Whoosh!"

The thorny vines that surged toward her were all reduced to dust, and a single sword stroke cleared a mile-wide path ahead.

"Young lord, don't leave! Most of your companions are still at the altar. How can you bear to abandon them?"

At the top of the Starfire Altar, countless chains of spiritual light flew out from between the brows Old Man the Saint Mind Master. These chains of spiritual light transformed into whips of light several miles long, bright and scorching, lashing out rapidly and causing the air to tremble and the earth to cave in.

Tang Wanzhou used his movement technique, his body like a phantom, dodging seven or eight times in a row before suddenly stopping.

He turned and stood still, his Sword Intent instantly shooting out for dozens of miles.

The next moment.

Influenced by her magical energy, snowflakes began to fall across the entire Nether Spirit Plain, and countless Sword Qi flew and weaved through the snow.

She raised her sword with both hands, and with unparalleled dominance, traversed several miles to slash towards the Starfire Altar.

"Splash!"

The myriad Sword Qi in the snow, along with the sword strike, transformed into a surging tide of Sword Qi, rushing towards the Old Man Saint Mind Master.

Beneath Tang Wanzhou's feet, the earth tore open, revealing a long ravine.

All the spiritual light chains and whips were shattered by a single sword strike, exploding into the air and turning into a shower of light. This forced the Old Man Saint Mind Master to activate his protective array to block the Sword Qi.

Tang Wanzhou had just turned around, but hadn't taken a step yet.

A frigid hurricane swept towards her, and snowflakes as sharp as ice blades lashed against her pale face.

In Tang Wanzhou's vision, countless thick tornadoes appeared on the Nether Spirit Plain, connecting the ground with the endless darkness above. The Wind Force strong that it tore her Dao Heart Manifestation to shreds.

"Whoosh!"

Like a phantom, the graceful and slender figure of the woman in white appeared out of thin air in front of her.

The speed was so fast that even with Tang Wanzhou's keen eyesight, he could sense that the opponent's figure was blurry and his moves were ever-changing.

A palm print came flying!

All the Wind Force and tornadoes were compressed into a limited space, wrapping around the white-clad woman's arms.

The closer the palm strike was to Tang Wanzhou, the slower it appeared and the clearer it became, as if it were being lightly pressed down.

Tang Wanzhou retreated rapidly, knowing full well that it wasn't that her opponent was slowing down, but rather an illusion created by being locked onto by her opponent's will. If she didn't break free from the mental restraint, she could only passively take the beating.

"Boom!"

A dazzling beam of Sword Qi erupted from Tang Wanzhou's lower abdomen.

The Sword Qi was accompanied by a bone-chilling cold, freezing the Nether Spirit Plain inch by inch.

Breaking free from the white-clad woman's mental control, Tang Wanzhou's eyes sharpened as he took a step forward, raising his sword to cleave mountains and split peaks.

"Bang!"

The white-clad woman's palm print collided with the Divine Snow Sword.

A powerful energy ripple exploded outwards, blasting Li Weiyi and Tuoba Butuo, who were ten miles away, to the ground.

Tang Wanzhou retreated two miles, knelt on one knee, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, his ten fingers covered in blood, the bones of his fingers broken.

The Divine Snow Sword flew diagonally and fell a hundred feet away.

"The Heavenly Wind Palm Technique the nine Fundamental Martial Art of the Jiu Li Tribe!" Tang Wanzhou raised his head and stared at the woman in white.

"With your cultivation at the Dao Seed Realm, you were able to break free from my mental suppression and even withstand one of my palm strikes without falling to the ground. You are truly strong."

The woman in white spoke in a tone devoid of emotion, cold and aloof.

Tang Wanzhou sensed a suffocating power fluctuation and looked up. There he saw a large array forming, its Formation Disk densely covered with mysterious runes and radiating golden light, pressing down upon him.

The entire atmosphere is sinking downwards.

"You are not enough to suppress me."

"Whoosh!"

Tang Wanzhou pressed his palm against his lower abdomen, causing spatial energy to erupt. His figure vanished without a trace.

"Oh no, it's spatial escape technique. She's only at the Dao Seed Realm, how could she have mastered spatial escape technique?"

The Old Man of Mountain and Marsh rushed out of the altar, flashed to the spot where Tang Wanzhou had just been, released his mental power, and searched around anxiously.

If Tang Wanzhou escapes, many of the secrets of the Divine Cult will be exposed.

The Old Man, a Saint Mind Master, sensed spatial fluctuations in a certain direction and immediately used his Light Escape Technique to pursue them.

A moment later.

The Old Man Saint Mind Master returned, standing in his dark, lightless inner area, and said in a low voice, "Venerable One, her mastery of the Dao of Space is extremely high; she can continuously use escape techniques, and she escaped!"

The woman in white grasped the Divine Snow Sword from afar, toyed with it in her hand, and said calmly, "The greatest Outstanding Person Lingxiao has produced in a thousand years, how could she be so easily dealt with? She can't escape. Hall Master An will be waiting for her on her way back to the main entrance hall."

Shan Ze breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "With the Palace Master personally taking action, even if Tang Wanzhou breaks through to the Immortal Realm, he can only surrender."

The woman in white looked at Shan Ze: "Elder Li, although this operation wasn't perfect because Tang Wanzhou escaped, it was entirely thanks to the accurate information you provided that we were able to react quickly, wait for the enemy to tire themselves out, firmly grasp the initiative, and wipe out all these intruders. For this achievement, you can exchange it for resources for Mind Master cultivation at the Ku Rong Hall!"

"It's all thanks to Your Excellency's strategic planning." Shan Ze's face lit up with joy, and he quickly bowed and kowtowed.

The woman in white looked at the twenty surviving martial artists on the altar, who had been suppressed by the Old Man Saint Mind Master with runes. "Take them all back to the main altar and imprison them in the Divine Prison. As for the dead, move their bodies to Ren Tian to be used as fertilizer for the rice."

"Chi Zhen, Chiming, you two are responsible for cleaning up the battlefield. Make sure no one notices that the Longevity Realm Expert and the Saint Mind Master were involved."

At last.

The woman in white turned her gaze to Li Weiyi in the distance. "I will deal with him!"

Li Weiyi lay on the ground, unable to move. He saw a beautiful figure in white approaching, and then he was struck by an unknown force, his vision went black, and he fainted.

There was no way to resist, and the Guardian Wife did not appear.

When I woke up again, I didn't know how much time had passed.

My head is throbbing with pain, and my eyelids feel heavy.

I tried to open my eyes just a crack.

Li Weiyi found herself lying on the wooden floor, with the sound of flowing water growing clearer in her ears and a faint fragrance wafting from her nose.

The five senses return.

He immediately mobilized his spiritual energy, circulating it through his Trace Meridians, and gradually, the pain in his head subsided.

"The magical energy binding my body has disappeared!"

Li Weiyi stood up, supporting herself with her hands on the ground.

Before me was an antique-style hall, with three calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls. In the corner, a bronze cauldron was filled with swirling smoke and a fragrant aroma.

The Yellow Dragon Sword and Tang Wanzhou's Divine Snow Sword lay flat on the table.

"That is..."

The candles in the room were made from the flesh and blood of strange beasts, and they would burn for half a month without going out.

Below the calligraphy and painting, inside the most magnificent lampshade, was actually a Spiritual Platform Blazing Star Stone Fragment.

Li Weiyi leaned closer and examined the lampshade closely. After confirming that it was indeed Spiritual Platform Blazing Star Stone Fragment, he secretly clicked his tongue in amazement. The owner of this place was too extravagant, using such a treasure for lighting.

After his mental state was fully restored, he immediately pressed his hand to his chest, took out the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish, and then let out a long sigh of relief.

As long as it's not lost, that's fine.

All my belongings are stored in the Blood Mud Space.

"Oh no... where's the Insect Pouch?"

Li Weiyi searched his entire body but couldn't find the Insect Pouch containing the Phoenix Wing Moth Emperor. Except for the Great Phoenix, the six smaller ones were all in the bag.

He quickly calmed down and tried to recall and think.

"The spring Qi Sea have not been sealed or imprisoned in the so-called Divine Prison, which means I am currently safe."

"The woman in white used the Heavenly Wind Palm Technique of the Yao Li Tribe to deal with Tang Wanzhou. Could she really be Yao Yin's mother, Yao Qingxuan?"

"Shanze seems to be one of their people."

The gruesome scene of Tang Hu and more than ten Dao Seed Realm experts being killed flashed through Li Weiyi's mind. He dared not harbor any illusions and picked up the Yellow Dragon Sword and Divine Snow Sword from the table. After thinking for a moment, he also took the Spiritual Platform Blazing Star Stone Fragment from the lampshade.

The doors to the lobby were open.

"Whoosh!"

After Li Weiyi went out, he quickly walked down the stone steps. He had only gone three zhang when a layer of array Light Veil appeared out of thin air, which knocked him back and almost made him lose his footing.

"No wonder there was no one guarding this place and they just threw me to the ground. It turns out there was a formation protecting this place."

"Whoosh!"

He raised his hand and lifted the Yellow Dragon Sword, channeling his magical energy to unleash a powerful horizontal slash.

On the Light Veil, countless Formation Script appeared, once again forcing him back.

The five fingers gripping the sword were tingling and numb with pain.

"This is impressive; such a powerful array has been set up in a mere residence."

Li Weiyi didn't fight to the death; instead, he darted away to find another way out.

The area is quite large, with pavilions and towers scattered throughout, streams and lakes, and a large number of luminous exotic flowers and plants planted along the lakeshore. However, apart from the building where the main hall was located, the rest of the area is very desolate, with fallen leaves covering the ground, and no one is cleaning or maintaining it.

Li Weiyi stopped by the lake and gazed at the opposite shore.

Hundreds of meters away, a hipped-roof palace with green tiles sat there, its tiles shimmering, its walls seemingly cast from celestial jade, and its roof adorned with the shadows of mythical beasts, making it quite divine and unlike anything constructed from mortal materials.

In the blood-red lake, a strange flower resembling a lotus blooms, its petals vibrant and translucent. Crimson flames burn upon it, causing the lake water to evaporate and a blood mist to permeate the air.

The strange thing is...

The atmosphere here is very similar to that of the Underground Immortal Mansion.

Above my head, there was no sky, only endless darkness.

If he were still in his Underground Immortal Mansion, many things would be difficult to explain.

The entrance to the Underground Immortal Mansion was only discovered about ten months ago.

The environment and layout here could not possibly have been built in a year; it seems to have existed for a very long time, more like the heyday of the Bhakara Sect tens of thousands of years ago.

Li Weiyi narrowed his eyes and saw six familiar orbs of light flying from the lake.
