In League with Wolves

"Walk!"

Ye Nanfeng was very rational; he knew that with these two working together, it was impossible to save Zuo Sheng today.

Ye Beifeng tried to escape, but was enveloped layer by layer by Li Weiyi's psychic spider web, as if trapped in a swamp, unable to break free.

"Still trying to leave? The Third Heaven the Dao Seed Realm is nothing special."

Facing Ye Beifeng alone, Li Weiyi felt much less pressure and became more at ease. With the help of the six Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors, she completely suppressed him.

Seeing that there was no hope of escaping, Ye Beifeng, along with Ye Nanfeng and Yang Qingxi, fought to a distance, one fleeing and the other chasing, clearly having no spare strength to rescue him.

Not wanting to end up like Zuo Sheng, Ye Beifeng removed the barrier bag and released the two Puppet Art Scarecrow.

He slit his wrist and splattered the blood onto them. He said, "You have strange insects to help you, and I have puppetry to rely on."

A burst of spiritual light appeared between Ye Beifeng's brows, activating the runes on the blood crystal within the Puppet Art Scarecrow's body.

"Bang! Bang!"

The two Puppet Art Scarecrow, explosively releasing a large amount of black mist, "came to life," wielding daggers and short swords, and followed Ye Beifeng from the left and right, attacking Li Weiyi.

They are like ghosts, incredibly fast, and masters of movement and swordsmanship.

The Puppet Art Scarecrow was not created by Ye Beifeng; he was merely its controller.

Ye Beifeng's mental power was limited; he could only control one Puppet Art Scarecrow over long distances. Otherwise, if all three Puppet Art Scarecrow were to infiltrate Southern Clear Palace to assassinate Li Weiyi, he believed Li Weiyi would undoubtedly die.

The Puppet Art Scarecrow is only slightly stronger than a Phoenix Wing Moth Emperor, but its defense is far inferior.

Under Li Weiyi's flaming whip attack, the two Puppet Art Scarecrow were quickly reduced to ashes.

"So it was you who tried to assassinate me. Who orchestrated it?"

Li Weiyi's sword strikes grew faster and his whip cracked more and more dangerous, forcing Ye Beifeng into a precarious situation, forcing him to retreat continuously and passively endure the blows.

Six Phoenix Wing Moth Emperor flew about, unleashing various attacks that left multiple wounds and bloodstains on his body.

Ye Beifeng dared not reveal the identity of the powerful figure who had given him the Puppet Art Scarecrow. After enduring dozens of blows, he was severely injured by Li Weiyi's palm strike, bleeding from all seven Southern Clear Palace.

Six giant Phoenix Wing Moth Emperor were left behind to guard the area.

Li Weiyi, sword in hand, chased after Yang Qingxi and Ye Nanfeng, leaping through the air on a yellow dragon. From afar, he unleashed a sword strike that split the sea, leaving a bright Sword Qi that intercepted Ye Nanfeng, who had used a stealth technique.

The Ye Nanfeng fell to the ground.

"Boom!"

Two enormous divine mulberry trees, their shadows radiant, descended from the sky and crashed down on his head.

Countless fiery roots spread out and entangled him.

"Whoosh!"

Yang Qingxi swung his sword, and countless Sword Qi crisscrossed and appeared.

The combination of Sword Qi and scripture was incredibly powerful, severing the tendons in Ye Nanfeng's hands and feet, causing his body to go limp.

Li Weiyi stood atop the Fusang Divine Tree Projection, sword in hand, hovering in Kongxu: "Is this all the strength you, Dragon Seedling, have gained in a year? If I hadn't arrived in time, he would have escaped!"

Yang Qingxi's veil swayed in the wind. "Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivator naturally prioritize cultivating Evasion Dao Technique. Not everyone is like you, able to use mental power to restrict their escape."

"You adulterous couple... Yang Qingxi, you and Li Weiyi are in cahoots, you won't have a good end... Ah..."

Ye Nanfeng was extremely unwilling. He had come full of confidence to save people, but he never expected to suffer such a big setback.

He screamed as Yang Qingxi slapped him across the face.

The entire head was pressed into the ground.

"Does the goddess who insulted the Divine Cult really think I'm still a young upstart in the Five Seas Realm?" Yang Qingxi sheathed her sword and returned to the ancestral field. Then, before Li Weiyi could react, she took away Ye Nanfeng's Grade 3 Hundred-Character Artifact Golden Pillar.

The golden pillar was very heavy, but when it was placed into the ancestral field, it lost all its weight.

That was an independent space she had created; as long as one's cultivation was strong enough, it could even contain mountains, lakes, and seas.

Li Weiyi was a step too slow, and stared intently at Yang Qingxi.

This Miss Yang used to lead the younger generation of the Sui Sect with great magnanimity, but now she seems to have changed and has even started to collect Battle Treasure.

Ye Nanfeng did not die, but simply fainted.

Li Weiyi's appearance was even worse than Yang Qingxi's. In front of countless disciples of the Divine Cult, he removed Ye Nanfeng's Magic Tool Battle Robe and took away his boundary bag and money bag.

Then.

He stood up and called out to the crowd watching in the distance, "I know there are people from the Fourth Divine Son's Mansion among you. Tell Wang Shu a message: If he dares to send someone to use Puppet Art Scarecrow to break into the Southern Clear Palace and assassinate me, then don't blame me for being impolite."

"However, every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. I'm easy to talk to, I only care about money, and I don't hold grudges."

"Bring 1.5 million Spring Coin to the Southern Clear Palace within three days to ransom the person."

Yang Qingxi felt that Li Weiyi was too cautious and not ruthless enough, so she said in an elegant tone, "If Wang Shu does not come within three days, Ye Nanfeng, Ye Beifeng, and Zuo Sheng will be castrated and taken under my wing. As for the so-called Fourth Divine Son's Mansion, it would be better to remove the signboard as soon as possible. We, the rest of the divine sons and daughters, cannot afford to lose face like this."

Figures rushed out from the crowd, heading towards the Fourth Divine Son's Residence, the Spirit Grain Hall, and the Heavenly Principle Hall...

"This goddess is a ruthless person!"

"She's planning to crush the Fourth Divine Son and then seize all of his resources, including his subordinates and followers."

"If the Fourth Divine Son doesn't go to the Southern Clear Palace to salvage the situation within three days, the people below will surely be in a state of panic and switch allegiance to other Divine Sons and Daughters. Who would follow someone who can't even protect his own True Disciple?"

Yang Qingxi and Li Weiyi returned together to the main hall of the Southern Clear Palace.

This magnificent hip-roofed building is a remnant from the ancient Bhakara Sect period. Its walls are thick and crystalline, like they were cast from celestial jade. The roof is covered with emerald-green tiles, releasing wisps of cool, ethereal mist.

Zuo Sheng, Ye Nanfeng, and Ye Beifeng all had their limbs broken and were lying haphazardly inside, looking extremely miserable and wretched.

Li Weiyi went straight to the top of the main hall, to the jade throne that originally belonged to Yao Qingxuan, and used a cold jade box to preserve the severed arms of Qi Xiao and Tuoba Butuo.

Although it is known that the chances of continuing are slim.

Even a glimmer of hope is still hope.

Yang Qingxi stood in the center of the hall, scrutinizing him. "How dare you take you as a disciple? Could it be that Venerable Nan is also a member of your Jiu Li Hidden Gate?"

"Do you think that the Rice Ancestor and the temple masters of the Divine Cult are all fools? Untrustworthy people who can be entrusted with important responsibilities and in charge of the entire Southern Territory?"

Li Weiyi glanced at her, then closed the box and stood up. "Miss Yang is the Sixth Divine Maiden of the Divine Sect. Wang Shu has a deep connection with the Sui Sect Wang Family of Sui Sect. The Old Ancestor of the Sheng family of the Sui Sect was a Saint Mind Master elder of the Divine Sect... Your Sui Sect's rapid progress in strength over the past thousand years is probably due to the Divine Sect's full support, right?"

Yang Qingxi said, "The Jiu Li Tribe has planted countless spies within the Sui Sect. If the Sui Sect was entirely cultivated by the Divine Cult, how could you be completely unaware of it?"

"If the Sui Sect truly wielded such power within the Divine Cult, would I have gone to fight with Wang Shu for people?"

Li Weiyi laughed and said, "Who knows? The Divine Sect is divided into four halls, each with its own interests. The three Deputy Hall Masters and five venerables of the Heavenly World Hall are not a monolithic group, are they? Each of them, at the Longevity Realm, has their own faction."

Both were probing each other, trying to get the information they wanted.

Yang Qingxi's eyes were deep. "The existence of the Divine Sect's headquarters was a top secret before the Underground Immortal Mansion was exposed. A year ago, with my cultivation level, I had no idea that I was actually a rice man, nurtured by my father and mother's blood. I guess there are no more than ten people in the entire Sui Sect who can directly contact the Divine Sect."

Li Weiyi was skeptical.

Yang Qingxi said, "What? After all these tests, are you worried that Wang Shu and I will secretly join forces to deal with you?"

"Miss Yang, do you really think that by joining forces you can drag me into the abyss and put me to death? If I don't die, you should understand what your fate will be." Li Weiyi walked towards her, exuding a powerful aura.

Yang Qingxi felt an invisible pressure and said, "To deal with you now, Wang Shu doesn't need to join forces with me at all. Ye Nanfeng and Ye Beifeng are just two people at the Third Heaven the Inferior Root Dao Seed Realm. Wang Shu could defeat them both with one hand. If it were him who came today, you wouldn't even have a chance to escape."

"Wang Shu's younger brother, Wang Zhi, has an even more terrifying 'Departed Spirit Soul Seed' within him."

Li Weiyi asked, "Then why didn't he show himself?"

"That's what I'm most worried about!"

Yang Qingxi continued, "The reason I didn't make a move earlier was to see if you could defeat Ye Nanfeng and Ye Beifeng and force Wang Shu to reveal his skills. If you can do that, then we'll have a chance of winning if we join forces."

"This result, which seems like a great victory, is actually the worst-case scenario."

"If I'm not mistaken, Wang Shu must be at a crucial moment in condensing the Dao Lotus, so he has no time to attend to you."

"Once he breaks through to the Fourth Heaven the Dao Seed Realm, neither of us will have any chance of winning. We either have to submit or gamble that he won't dare to break into the Southern Clear Palace."

"But now, Venerable Nan has left the main altar, while Wang Shu's master, the Deputy Hall Master of the Heavenly Principle Hall, is still at the main altar. With the excuse of saving people, does he really not dare to break into the Southern Clear Palace?"

Li Weiyi believed Yang Qingxi's analysis. This woman was able to lead the younger generation of the Sui Sect when she was Five Seas Realm, and even some of the older generation were willing to obey her. Her wisdom and ability to analyze the situation were extraordinary.

"But you still made a move!" Li Weiyi knew very well that Yang Qingxi must have had some ulterior motive.

Yang Qingxi's red lips, glistening beneath her veil, parted slightly as she said, "Our only chance of victory now is for you to lend me the Blood Handprint Demonic Armor and the Ghost Flag. Then, the two of us will immediately march on the Fourth Divine Son's Mansion, denying him the chance to condense his Dao Lotus, and cripple him."

Li Weiyi revealed a "I knew it" smile, "What's the reason? Without a reasonable reason, breaking into the Fourth Divine Son's Mansion and wanting to cripple Wang Shu, do you really think that Deputy Hall Master of the Heavenly Principle Hall is made of clay?"

Yang Qingxi said, "Since we're already mortal enemies, why hesitate?"

Li Weiyi knew very well that Yang Qingxi dared to act so boldly because he must have a very powerful backer. It was very likely that Yang Shen Realm, the Sui Sect leader of the Sui Sect, held a very high position in the Twin Rice Cult.

He was different.

He was a newcomer to the profession and was not trusted, so he had to be cautious in his actions.

Even if he wins the attack on the Fourth Divine Son's Mansion, he will still die at the hands of the Vice Hall Master of Heavenly Principle Hall. The reason for killing him is that he attempted to rescue Qi Xiao and Tuoba Butuo.

Moreover, Li Weiyi felt that Yang Qingxi, despite her seemingly calm and intelligent demeanor, possessed a wild and daring side. She was entirely capable of taking a risky approach and using this opportunity to deal with both Wang Shu and Li Weiyi.

"Three days! If Wang Shu doesn't come to the Southern Clear Palace in three days, we'll go to the Fourth Divine Son's residence together and force him to make a move. As for the Blood Handprint Demonic Armor and the Ghost Flag, let me consider them further."

Li Weiyi intended to use these three days to attempt to break through to the level of a three-star Mind Master.

Once success is achieved, strength will undoubtedly increase significantly, making it sufficient to cope with any unforeseen circumstances.

Now it's a race against time, trying to break through before Wang Shu.

"It seems that after your ancestral field was destroyed, you really lost all your drive and rage. You really disappoint me. I'm already regretting my actions just now." Yang Qingxi glanced at him lightly.

Li Weiyi narrowed his eyes. "Yang Qingxi, don't forget, you owe me five million Spring Coin on that bed at Evergreen Temple. I can beat you five times. If you really force me to spend a million Spring Coin to give you a good beating, then you'll know what true drive and hatred are!"

Li Weiyi ignored her and went to the backyard.

Yang Qingxi frowned slightly, then sat cross-legged in the hall, attempting once again to break through to the Third Heaven the Dao Seed Realm. She decided to wait three days for Li Weiyi to see what he was up to.

Having already fallen out with Wang Shu, she naturally couldn't return to the Goddess's Mansion; being alone would be too dangerous.

Li Weiyi left the Green Tile Hall and walked along the Blood Lake toward the array where the Golden Rice was located. Suddenly, he saw Great Phoenix fly out from behind the artificial hill. He was startled and looked around.

The Great Phoenix possessed a very strong aura and had grown to a foot in length, officially reaching the Dao Seed Realm.
