It Really Wasn't Your Doing

Li Weiyi said, "Does that person from the Demon Kingdom think that my dealings with Xie Chucai are the will of the Divine Cult? That the Divine Cult wants to expose him to the public eye?"

"This is just the most superficial layer! Why? The Third Palace Master's decree emphasizes that only martial artists at the First Realm of the Longevity Realm can take action," An Xianjing said.

Li Weiyi had never really thought about this question.

An Xianjing said, "How many martial artists in the First Realm the Longevity Realm do you think the Imperial Court has? Can they be a match for the Demon Child? Just Yao Qian and Song Yulou?"

Li Weiyi gasped in shock, exclaiming, "Their real target is Zuoqiu Courtyard?"

It should be noted that at the Qianlong Lantern Festival, Du'e Temple obtained the most of the twenty Longevity Pill offered by Zuoqiu Courtyard.

For the next two years, Du'e Temple Zuoqiu Courtyard three Longevity Pills each year to help Zuoqiu Courtyard attract talented people from all over the world.

In other words...

Zuoqiu Courtyard Sect has the most martial artists at the First Realm the Longevity Realm.

This includes Zuoqiu Ling, whose Battle Power within the same realm.

Yao Qingxuan said, "The Demon Kingdom's compromise was indeed due to the unfathomable power of the Nine Heavens Beyond the Clouds Great Formation, forcing them to back down. But the Demon Child is one of the most outstanding disciples of the Du'e Temple. How can the Zuoqiu Courtyard explain their actions to the Du'e Temple? How can they face the support of the Du'e Temple?"

"How can Zuoqiu Courtyard explain to the world if he doesn't deal with the Demon Child?"

Li Weiyi said, "No wonder it took fifteen days to deal with the Demon Child. It turns out they were afraid the Zuoqiu Courtyard wouldn't have enough time to mobilize their forces. What a ruthless scheme!"

Yao Qingxuan said, "Why did the Third Palace Master agree? Because she also wanted to bring the Zuoqiu Courtyard into the Lingxiao City situation to help the Imperial Court deal with the danger. It can be said that the Demon Kingdom offered her a price she couldn't refuse."

Li Weiyi said, "Is the Demon Kingdom trying to use this opportunity to sow discord Du'e Temple and the Zuoqiu Courtyard? Does the Demon Kingdom actually want to support Kirin Zhuang in establishing Demon Kingdom, or does it want to support the Rice Sect in establishing a Rice Realm?"

An Xianjing said, "Anything is possible."

Li Weiyi's eyes flickered. "Then why don't we shift the blame onto the Demon Race?"

An Xianjing said, "This is what I wanted to tell you! This whole thing was a scheme orchestrated by Phoenix-born Unicorn-young, leaked by Long Xiangcen, and was all a plot by the Demon Race. You were simply manipulated by Jiang Ning's emotions. I will submit this explanation to the higher-ups of the Demon Kingdom and the Divine Cult."

"Go and kill Jiang Ning, and everything will be covered up."

Li Weiyi was stunned.

An Xianjing said, "I knew you couldn't do it! Qingxuan, you're his master, why don't you help him?"

"Alright!" Yao Qingxuan said.

Li Weiyi stopped Yao Qingxuan: "What's so good about it? I don't agree, this is absolutely unacceptable."

"It seems she's truly fallen in love."

An Xianjing was not as persistent and stern as Li Weiyi had imagined. Instead, she closed her eyes and stopped mentioning killing Jiang Ning.

The vehicle drove into Tai'anfang and arrived at a gang called "Zen Blade Sect".

The gang occupied half a mile of land and had nearly a hundred members and disciples.

The sect leader Liang Xianshi, was a powerful expert from a collateral branch of the Liang Family in the Eastern Territory, whose cultivation had reached the Eighth Heaven of Dao Seed Realm.

The carriage came to a stop in the courtyard, and dozens of Daoist masters stepped forward, bowing in unison. "Greetings, Hall Master An, the Venerable Nan."

An Xianjing and Yao Qingxuan put on veils and stepped off the carriage one after the other, while a crowd of people knelt down outside.

Li Weiyi got off the car and had just stood up.

With only one arm remaining, Sikong Yanlun's angry voice rang out. "Li Weiyi, where is my brother?"

Li Weiyi glanced at him indifferently. "Stop yelling at me. Do you really think I'm afraid of you now?"

Sikong Yanlun bowed respectfully. "Hall Master An, my brother has been captured by Li Weiyi and is likely dead at his hands. This young man has been exchanging glances with several young experts of the Imperial Court in Lingxiao City; he must harbor ulterior motives and must not be allowed to live."

Li Weiyi coldly replied, "If I had any ulterior motives, how many members of the Divine Cult would I have lured out with my Divine Child Life Tablet? How many Divine Cult strongholds would I have destroyed? Would I have allowed Yao Qian to be so arrogant?"

"If I had even the slightest thought of betrayal, I would have already leaked the secrets of the Sui Sect and Coffin Mountain."

"While the Sui Sect is certainly hateful, I am well aware that the Sui Sect has extremely deep ties with the Divine Cult. Once they are all taken down, it will be like pulling up a radish and bringing out the rest of the mud, severely damaging the Divine Cult's influence in Lingxiao City."

What Li Weiyi didn't know was that the reason An Xianjing and Yao Qingxuan arrived in Lingxiao City a month later was because of the intention of a Daoist master.

Dao Jiao has a detached perspective and doesn't trust Li Weiyi, wanting to use time to test his loyalty and see which side is truly betraying him.

It can be said that during this month, Li Weiyi was fortunate enough to be restrained enough not to join forces with the Imperial Court to wipe out the various strongholds of the Daojiao, and not even to deliberately leak the Sui Sect.

It was precisely because Lingxiao City was calm and peaceful that Yao Qingxuan was able to leave the main altar.

Sikong Yanlun was speechless when Li Weiyi asked him a question.

Yao Qingxuan asked, "Why are you so certain that Sikong Jingyuan was captured by Li Weiyi?"

Sikong Yanlun said, "It's news from the Sui Sect."

Li Weiyi sneered, "I don't even know if your brothers are in Lingxiao City, how can I arrest them? I have no connections in the Divine Sect, do you think the people around you would leak secrets to me?"

Sikong Yanlun said, "I also told Phoenix-born Unicorn-young."

Li Weiyi said, "Phoenix-born Unicorn-young is so eager to kill me, what methods wouldn't he use? Your talent for cultivation is alright, but you have no brains at all. Be careful not to be used by others without even realizing it."

Sikong Yanlun is a dignified divine son; how could he bear such humiliation?

"What a blatant distortion of the truth by the Fourth Divine Son!"

With a roar, both old and new grudges erupted. He took a step forward, covering several meters, and his fist released a brilliant silver light, unleashing an energy storm that filled the entire garden.

I hate it so much!

Not only did he suffer the humiliation of having his arm severed, but he was also publicly shamed. If he didn't take action, he would become a laughingstock of the Twin Rice Cult.

Li Weiyi stood still, a layer of spiritual light condensing in front of him, neutralizing Sikong Yanlun's fist force.

The spiritual light spread out and enveloped his entire body.

Sikong Yanlun felt his body being tightly bound, his eyes filled with shock. He knew that Li Weiyi's mental power cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, but he did not expect it to be this strong.

"Bang!"

With a thought, Li Weiyi sent Sikong Yanlun flying, which crashed heavily to the ground, raising a thick cloud of dust.

Although defeated, Sikong Yanlun lay on the ground, laughing wildly, "I had doubts about whether you had the ability to capture my brother. Now, I'm certain that you killed him!"

Among the group of experts from the Rice Cult, a figure in gray robes stepped forward.

He had a thin face, high cheekbones, and thick, sword-like eyebrows. He Huangxu, the second divine son of the Twin Rice Cult.

Huangxu bowed to An Xianjing and said, "This junior knows that Hall Master An trusts Li Weiyi greatly. But on my side, I have absolute certainty that Sikong Jingyuan is already dead at Li Weiyi's hands."

A martial arts practitioner hurried forward to report, "The Fifth Divine Son has returned!"

Everyone in the courtyard was stunned.

Yao Qingxuan felt worried and secretly glanced at Li Weiyi, only to see that he was calm and composed, without the slightest panic.

A moment later.

Supported by two martial artists, Sikong Jingyuan appeared before An Xianjing, knelt down with a thud, and cried out in a pitiful tone, "Hall Master An, the Sui Sect Yang Shen Realm is going to rebel! Kill them quickly, and also Yao Qian, or the Divine Sect will face a great calamity."

Sikong Jingyuan was indeed in a terrible state, tortured beyond recognition, his ten fingers and ten toes were covered in blood, and his finger bones were all broken.

Most of his skin had been cut off, and he could only walk with a limp.

Sikong Yanlun rushed forward to check Sikong Jingyuan's injuries and asked, "Brother, what happened? What are you talking about?"

Sikong Jingyuan then began to recount how he was captured by the Sui Sect, how he was imprisoned, how he was tortured and interrogated, and what he heard.

For the past month, Sikong Jingyuan had suffered endless torment, his mind had collapsed, and he was filled with resentment. "The Sui Sect has completely sided with the Second Palace Master and is going to help the Imperial Court wipe out all the strongholds of the Divine Sect before the Lantern Festival. If the Sui Sect hadn't received orders tonight to hunt down Li Weiyi throughout the city, I wouldn't have had a chance to escape at all."

"Kill them! We must kill all these ungrateful wretches and turn them all into rice fertilizer."

Apart from An Xianjing, Yao Qingxuan, and Li Weiyi, everyone else was so shocked they were speechless and in a state of panic.

Li Weiyi looked at Huangxu: "Didn't you say you were absolutely certain that Sikong Jingyuan was dead by my hand? Your confidence doesn't come from the Sui Sect, does it?"

Huangxu's eyes were serious as he struggled to process the shock in his heart.

Li Weiyi then looked at Sikong Jingyuan: "Are you sure it was the Sui Sect who captured you?"

"Do you take me for a fool? You don't even know who the enemy is?" Sikong Jingyuan roared.

Li Weiyi said, "I'm very curious about something. What makes you think that the Divine Cult is in great danger? That its strongholds will be completely wiped out? Have you betrayed the Divine Cult? Have you confessed everything?"

Sikong Jingyuan said, "No... no, how could I possibly submit? Li Weiyi, you're trying to harm me! You're trying to frame me!"

Li Weiyi looked at An Xianjing and Yao Qingxuan: "Sikong Jingyuan has probably already revealed all the secrets. This place is very unsafe. We must leave immediately."

"Everyone, break up into smaller groups and leave the Zen Blade Sect immediately. Huangxu, you stay behind to clean up the mess and make sure you get to the bottom of this."

After giving this order, An Xianjing and Yao Qingxuan boarded the carriage first.

All the masters of the Rice Cult were thrown into chaos, packing up their belongings and burning account books.

Another group left immediately.

Huangxu looked at Sikong Jingyuan, who was kneeling on the ground in terror, and a cruel look appeared in his eyes. "We're all brothers, so tell the truth and I can give you a quick death. Yan Lun, do you want a new arm? His arm should fit you perfectly."

The frame sped along.

An Xianjing observed Li Weiyi's eyes several times. "You really didn't do it?"

Li Weiyi looked horrified and quickly said, "If I had that ability, how could I have only done half the job? How could I have chosen to leave the city with Taishi Yu tonight? It turns out, Hall Master An has never trusted me."

"The situation has become even more dangerous! Qingxuan, you and he must leave the city immediately."

After saying this, An Xianjing vanished from the car in an instant, at an unbelievable speed.
