Tang Wanzhou Had a Problem

"Don't pry into my affairs. It's best not to tell anyone that I'm still alive, or disaster will surely follow. You call me Master, that's why I'm giving you this warning," Yao Qingxuan said coldly.

They brought Li Weiyi back to the first level of the Asura Layer.

She said, "Give me the Ghost Flag."

Li Weiyi knew this day would come, so without hesitation, he presented the Ghost Flag with both hands and asked with concern, "Master, are you still going back to intercept them? Those resurrected Monk's Remains are incredibly powerful; it's too dangerous!"

Yao Qingxuan took the Ghost Flag and used his mental energy to investigate it. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at Li Weiyi, who was much taller than him.

Perhaps it was because Li Weiyi decisively took out the Ghost Flag, or perhaps it was because of Li Weiyi's concern.

She, who never liked to explain much, said softly, "Sikong Yanlun, Sikong Jingyuan, and Yi Zhouxue Xue described the Ghost Flag in glowing terms, attributing all their failures to it. This made some of the Longevity Realm Giants of the Divine Sect, including Palace Masters, quite interested."

"If you keep carrying it, there will be unpredictable dangers once you leave the main altar. You don't want to be trapped in the Southern Clear Palace forever, do you? You have to go out eventually. Young people should have the edge of youth, moving forward with the sunshine and thunder."

"The Blood Handprint Demonic Armor is merely Ninth-grade Hundred-character Artifact. I believe that with your current strength, you can defend it and are worthy of possessing such Battle Treasure."

"If some old fellow really manages to steal the larvae of those strange insects, they won't be able to hide. Hall Master An, your master, and even the Jiu Li Hidden Gate will all come after him. Therefore, for you right now, the Ghost Flag poses the greatest threat."

Li Weiyi asked, "What exactly did Sikong Yanlun and the others spout nonsense about?"

"What they fabricate is unimportant. What don't the older generation know? What haven't they experienced? They know perfectly well! You managed to escape alive, even injuring them and taking away their weapons. This is a great honor for your master." Hall Master An laughed heartily, "As long as you don't betray us, she will protect you until you reach the Saint Mind Master."

Holding the Ghost Flag, Yao Qingxuan disappeared on the suspension bridge and returned to the Truth Zen Forest.

She made it very clear that she wasn't going to join the war. Rather, she was using this opportunity to tell those in the cult who coveted the Ghost Flag that it was indeed a treasure, but it was now in her hands.

If you want to take it, go to her.

The fluctuations of the battle never ceased.

Li Weiyi gazed at the other end of the suspension bridge, sensing Yao Qingxuan's sincerity, yet the doubts in his heart remained unresolved. A short while later, he thought of Zen Sea Observing Mist and his three masters, feeling deeply worried, yet also acutely aware that he couldn't offer any help at this moment.

The four of them have lived for over a thousand years and have experienced all sorts of storms; perhaps they already had a plan to escape.

Amidst a myriad of thoughts, Li Weiyi waited for over an hour on the first level of the Asura Layer before Tuoba Butuo, Qi Xiao, Yang Qingxi, and Yang Qingchan returned. The four were naturally surprised, not expecting Li Weiyi to arrive even faster than them. Without asking any further questions, they all returned to the Mortal Layer together.

The rumbling and trembling from the Underground Immortal Mansion continued incessantly, causing people to tremble with fear.

The main altar was protected by layers of formations, which greatly mitigated the shockwave, so the impact was not significant.

Yang Yun and a group of martial arts practitioners who followed Yang Qingxi came to greet them.

Yang Yun exclaimed excitedly, "Thank goodness, sister, we've finally waited for you to come back! I took people to search the south several times, but we couldn't find any trace of you and second sister. I was so worried. I only felt a little relieved to know that you and Brother Weiyi were together."

Ye Nanfeng laughed, "Your Highnesses, the Fourth Divine Son and the Sixth Divine Maiden, are truly remarkable and gratifying! Sikong Yanlun lost an arm, and Sikong Jingyuan had his seventh-grade Battle Treasure taken from him. They even ran to the Ku Rong Hall to complain, saying they were ambushed by you. Anyone with eyes can see that they had ulterior motives, yet they lost their arms and weapons."

Ye Beifeng flattered, "They deserve to lose face by being enemies with the two peerless geniuses, the Divine Son and Divine Daughter."

Li Weiyi looked at Yang Qingxi: "Sikong Qin is in your hands, will you handle the follow-up issues?"

"Alright! With witnesses in hand, I'd like to see how Sikong Yanlun and Sikong Jingyuan will save face." Yang Qingxi was very interested, thinking she could use this to get some compensation.

At any other time, Li Weiyi would definitely have used Sikong Qin as a pretext to extort money from Sikong Yanlun and Sikong Jingyuan.

However, having reaped a great harvest this time and not lacking Spring Coin for the time being, he naturally did not want to waste time on this and only wanted to rush back to the Southern Clear Palace to cultivate in peace.

Sikong Ce, whose limbs had been broken by Tuoba Butuo and who had been put in a bag, was also an important witness.

However, during the battle, the boundary bag unexpectedly shattered, and this expert at the Fourth Heaven of the Dao Seed Realm was instantly torn to pieces by Spatial Power.

The only remaining witness was Sikong Qin.

Yang Yun said, "Those two obviously knew that your return would expose their lies, so they've already received their mission and gone to the ground."

Li Weiyi, Tuoba Butuo, and Qi Xiao first went to the Spirit Grain Hall and exchanged all the Meditation Flower they had picked and the broken armor and rusty weapons they had retrieved from the swamp for cultivation resources.

The number of broken armor and rusted artifacts is enormous, with a value exceeding one million Spring Coin.

In addition to the Thousand-Year Elixir, Li Weiyi also exchanged for fourteen auxiliary ingredients for refining the Star Day Pill.

He currently has no shortage of Spirit Platform Blazing Star Stone. If he wants to cultivate to the peak of the fourth-star Mind Master as quickly as possible and obtain the qualification to break through to the fifth-star Mind Master, refining Star Day Pill is the only way.

As for the Meditation Flower, they were all white and blue, not high enough in quality to help him, so he exchanged them all.

As for martial arts cultivation, it relies more on enlightenment, scriptures, and guidance from renowned masters. The demand for cultivation resources is mainly focused on physical training.

For martial arts practitioners of the Dragon Path, even the Dao Lotus Pill and Dao Fruit Pill can be saved.

Li Weiyi went to the Magic Pavilion again to borrow some Daoist scriptures. For the next period of time, he would focus on martial arts cultivation, especially the cultivation of the Twelve-Character Dao Seed.

The cultivation of mental power and the training of the Wind Mansion Dragon Seed were both for the purpose of deceiving others.

The Twelve-Character Dao Seed within the Divine Palace is the foundation for whether he can reach the pinnacle of martial arts in the future.

"I feel that it won't be long before I break through to the Third Heaven the Dao Seed Realm and catch up with Tuoba. As long as my physical cultivation keeps up, I won't have any weaknesses." Qi Xiao was in a great mood after exchanging for several rare medicines for physical cultivation and having four catties of Immortal Soil in hand.

Tuoba Butuo declared proudly, "Within two months, I will surely condense the Dao Lotus, and at that time I will be able to compete with one of the Fifth Divine Son."

"Those two divine sons, one is missing an arm and the other has lost a seventh-grade weapon, their combat strength is greatly reduced, and they may not be your match."

On the way back to the Southern Clear Palace, the three chatted and laughed.

Although the trip was fraught with danger and challenges, it was incredibly rewarding, and the future looks promising.

"Look, that should be the hole that was broken open by the Monk's Remains," Qi Xiao pointed to the sky.

Li Weiyi looked up.

The hole was very small; from the ground, it appeared to be about the same size as the sun and moon.

"This location..."

Li Weiyi noticed that the hole in the sky was located diagonally above the Southern Clear Palace, and his heart skipped a beat as he realized something. He then used his movement technique to rush back as fast as he could.

Tuoba Butuo and Qi Xiao, puzzled, exchanged a glance and followed closely behind.

Back at the Southern Clear Palace.

Li Weiyi headed straight for the array area where the black pagoda was located, took out the jade array talisman, opened the array's Light Veil, and went inside.

On the first level of the pagoda, inside the open doorway, the skeleton that had been bound by chains had vanished.

Like a bolt of lightning striking him from a clear sky, Li Weiyi froze, his scalp tingling.

"It really has awakened!"

Li Weiyi couldn't help but feel a chill when he thought about how the Monk's Remains had awakened a month ago. Luckily, he had gone outside the main altar at the time; otherwise, wouldn't he have run right into it?

Little did he know that the reason this Monk's Remains had awakened was due to the unusual movement of the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish.

Li Weiyi immediately rushed to the array area where the Golden Rice was located, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was unharmed.

"Damn it! After this battle, the origins of the Monk's Remains will be discovered sooner or later. When that happens, won't the Spatial Teleportation Array be exposed along with it?"

Li Weiyi felt extremely headache-inducing and hurriedly rushed to the array area where Tang Wanzhou had previously hidden, intending to remove the blood crystal embedded in the Spatial Teleportation Array and restore it to its original state.

As for Tang Wanzhou, if he wanted to come back, he would have come back long ago!

Most of them have already perished on the other side of the teleportation array...

"Tang Wanzhou!"

Li Weiyi entered the array's Light Veil and saw Tang Wanzhou lying in the center of the teleportation array. He was both surprised and delighted, and immediately went forward to check on him.

Her life force was very strong; she was unharmed and full of vitality, but she was unconscious and in a strange state.

"She must have just been teleported back! The great battle at the Sacred Heart Layer must have broken out, allowing her to escape. What exactly did she go through?"

It's strange that after being trapped for two months, there's no trace of imprisonment or suppression on his body.

Li Weiyi called her for a while, but dared not wait any longer, as An Xianjing and Yao Qingxuan might return at any moment. So, he released his mental power, trying to enter her Sea of Consciousness, communicate with her, and forcibly wake her up.

However, as soon as the psychic power entered her body, an incomparably powerful force of will surged back like a tidal wave.

Li Weiyi's expression changed drastically. Who would have thought that even in Tang Wanzhou's condition, the self-defense power of his Battle Intent would still be so terrifying?

Retreat immediately to defend.

"Boom!"

Responding to Tang Wanzhou's mental power, Li Weiyi trembled all over, his mental power was lost, and countless illusions, both real and unreal, appeared in his mind, as if someone had forcibly created a memory and stuffed in countless experiences that did not belong to him.

These memories and experiences intensified his Seven Emotions, attempting to forcibly distort him, alter his mental state, and make him unable to distinguish between reality and illusion.

Li Weiyi was able to distinguish them because the two fish eyes of the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish on his chest became bright, condensing into a Tai Chi diagram that enveloped him, making him clear-headed and intelligent.

"How could she possess such a strange power of will?"

Li Weiyi collapsed to the ground, practicing the Jade Void Breathing Technique to sort through the memories and experiences in his mind. The more he sorted through them, the more shocked he became, seriously suspecting that Tang Wanzhou had either gone into a state of demonic possession or encountered a terrifying and bizarre event at the Sacred Heart Layer.

Each experience was so bizarre, so different from reality, yet truly chilling.

For example, Tang Wanzhou broke into the Mortal Layer, was seriously injured, hid in the Southern Clear Palace, and found Li Weiyi. All of this was her own initiative.

But the memory forcibly shoved into Li Weiyi's mind during the psychic counterattack was that after she was seriously injured, Li Weiyi secretly brought her into the Southern Clear Palace and hid her within this array area. The whole process was very intimate; their conversations and actions resembled those of a couple having an affair.

For example, it was clearly her own idea to enter the Spatial Teleportation Array.

In the jumbled memories from just now, it turned into Li Weiyi telling her to enter the Spatial Teleportation Array.

Li Weiyi was very worried because she didn't know why this was happening. She could only hope that it was because her cultivation was not high enough and she had been traumatized by the other party's long-standing beliefs, rather than that something was wrong with her.

As time went by, Li Weiyi's headache subsided, and her thoughts gradually Qingming.

At the center of the Spatial Teleportation Array, the tall and slender Tang Wanzhou awoke.

She slowly sat up, her head throbbing. A torrent of negative emotions surged through her mind: sadness, indignation, pain, resentment. She felt wronged, wanted to cry, and even wanted to kill someone.

Tang Wanzhou's gaze fell on Li Weiyi, who had stood up outside the formation.

Gradually, the blurry figure in her mind that she both adored and resented became clearer and more certain.

Tang Wanzhou, filled with hatred, gritted her teeth and said coldly with deep resentment, "Li Weiyi, why did you use me?"

Li Weiyi rubbed his temples and had just stood up when he heard this. His expression changed, and he thought to himself, "It's over, something really went wrong." Before he could explain, Tang Wanzhou grabbed him from a distance and put his hand on his throat.

Her eyes were cold as swords, yet filled with tears. She slammed Li Weiyi to the ground with a thud, sobbing painfully, "I trusted you so much... I gave you all my feelings without reservation... Why did you deceive me? Why?"
