Rice Flower Fragrance Fills the World

The Mind Master who had previously besieged Li Weiyi, riding deer-like beasts, stood atop the tallest building in the county town, and were so frightened by Li Weiyi's arrival that they held their breath.

Marquis Divine Wing personally intervened, but failed to return.

What exactly happened that loud noise in the distance just now?

The Mind Master asked coldly, "Who exactly are you? Where is the Marquis?"

Li Weiyi glanced at him from afar.

The Mind Master felt a chill run down his spine, already traumatized. He affixed a talisman to his body, turned, and fled, disappearing into the jungle outside the county town at top speed.

Li Weiyi was stunned.

The opponent is a Seven-Star Mind Master with profound talisman skills. How could they run away without even fighting?

Li Weiyi did not give chase, but searched around and found no trace of the Wind Chasing Beast.

He leaped from the tops of buildings, heading towards the direction from which the blood mist was gushing out. He landed on the watchtower where the Mind Master had stood and looked at the entrance to the underground cave, which was a hundred meters in diameter, not far away.

At the entrance of the underground cave, countless people were driven away.

It really was a blood sacrifice, and not with livestock, but with humans.

At this moment, the swarm of insects led by the Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors was already locked in battle with seventy or eighty experts from the Demon Kingdom. The surviving humans immediately scattered and fled.

"Don't let any of them escape, kill them all."

Li Weiyi's eyes were cold and sharp as he tried to calm his negative emotions, channeling a continuous stream of magical energy into the Purple Sky Lei Seal in his palm.

The lightning seal flew out, growing to several meters in size, and crashed into the entrance of the underground cave.

Instantly, purple lightning crackled within the cave, shattering the blood mist and accompanied by the sound of shattering and collapsing.

The blood sacrifice was interrupted.

The blood-red patterns that had spread across the ground then dissipated.

Li Weiyi stepped on the Yellow Dragon Projection and flew down to the entrance of the underground cave. He raised his sword above his head, summoned the Six Jia Yang Thunder, and slashed downwards several times before finally leaping down.

The altar was built underground, and the space below was quite open.

Li Weiyi landed on top of the altar. The air was filled with a pungent smell of blood. He looked around. Below the altar was a Sea of Blood, Sea of Blood with countless skeletons.

His heart stopped beating briefly at that moment.

Without a doubt, most of the city's inhabitants were sacrificed here.

This is a war of genocide!

It is a battle for survival that affects the entire habitat; no one can stand aside. It's fight or die.

Li Weiyi showed no anguish, only silence. Then, with a single palm strike, he shattered the Young Marquis, throwing his remains into the sea Sea of Blood. They were no different from the countless white bones already there.

"Boom!"

He mobilized his magical energy, unleashing the Purple Sky Lei Seal to completely destroy the altar.

Li Weiyi leaped and flew back to the ground.

Inside the county town, the sounds of fighting, screams, insect chirps, collapsing buildings, and survivors' desperate cries mingled together, creating utter chaos.

Li Weiyi felt a tightness in her chest and remained completely silent as she gazed at the distant Cloud Heaven Immortal Plain.

The three-thousand-foot-high cliff was shrouded in a curtain of light.

The blood-red patterns on the light screen were fading rapidly.

At the summit of Immortal Plains, one can hear deafening roars of wind and thunder, and dim yellow lamplight illuminates all directions. The earth shakes and mountains tremble, and sword light flashes for miles. It is evident how fierce the battle there is, almost like gods in the heavens battling it out.

I wonder how the battle will unfold in this extraordinary duel?

Are Taishi Bai, Taishi Yu, and Xing Yenu still alive?

A sense of perception swept over Li Weiyi, like a gentle breeze.

"This is bad. It's the will of Longevity Realm Giants expert probing us. The changes here must have alerted other powerful figures from the Demon Kingdom at the Blood Sacrifice Altar."

Li Weiyi dashed towards the city gate, summoning back all Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors. He then used the last life-saving talisman given to him by Taishi Yu, the "Divine Speed Talisman," and headed east at top speed.

When the power of the Divine Speed Talisman was exhausted, Li Weiyi was already more than 400 miles away from the county town, in a hilly area full of tombstones and graves.

Looking back, the Cloud Heaven Immortal Plain could no longer be seen.

Only the sun rises higher and higher.

The other side did not pursue them, clearly intending to guard the altar.

Li Weiyi could predict the fate of the surviving people in that county town, but there was nothing he could do. He could only bury this helplessness deep in his heart, work hard to cultivate, and strive to change this cruel world and bring light and justice in the future.

"It smells so good... What's that smell?"

Li Weiyi looked south.

A large amount of fine golden pollen drifted through the air, sweeping over the hills, passing by him, and quickly heading north.

Before long, everything around turned golden, and pollen rippled in the wind, turning the sky a pale gold.

Pollen disappears instantly upon landing on the ground.

Li Weiyi sensed something was wrong, held his breath, and took out the Staff Spear of All Things to be on guard. At the end of the spear, the Earth Spirit Cub laughed loudly.

"What's wrong?" Li Weiyi asked.

The Earth Spirit Cub told him that the yin energy underground was rapidly becoming more intense.

"Clatter!"

A few feet away from Li Weiyi's tombstone, pollen falling on it immediately emitted a faint golden light.

Behind the tombstone, on the mound of earth, a decaying hand protrudes from the soil.

A terrifying scene unfolded before Li Weiyi's eyes.

A decaying corpse crawled out of the grave mound at an extremely fast speed.

The rotting corpse was ragged, howling, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, and its eye sockets were burning with golden flames. After smelling the scent of a living person, it half-ran and half-leaped towards Li Weiyi.

Li Weiyi swung his staff and smashed it into pieces.

"Clatter!"

"Whoosh!"

Corpses emerged one after another from the burial mounds on the entire hill, some of which had already turned into skeletons.

"It smells like rice blossoms..."

"The Corpse Planting Dao, and rice blossoms finally filled the world. The endless corpses underground transformed into Rice Corpse Yin Soldiers, sweeping across Twenty-Eight Prefectures. They devoured anyone they saw, until they had consumed all the humans in their habitat."

Their running speed and strength are more than twice that of an average person.

In a short time, Li Weiyi was surrounded by hundreds of rice corpses.

"Bang!"

Li Weiyi released his Dao Heart Manifestation, blasting all the rice corpses away, and then headed east.

Along the way, the rice corpses were endless; they would pounce on and attack the living if they smelled the scent of living people.

Even with Li Weiyi's cultivation level, he was secretly worried about running out of magical energy and physical strength, because there was simply no way to kill them all.

"Centered on Fuzhou, the entire territory of several prefectures including Qiuzhou and Liangzhou is covered by the power of the Yin Shi Zhong Dao. As the Rice Flower Fragrance wafts by, countless billions of Rice Corpse Yin Soldiers will come to life and become predators of the entire habitat."

"I only hope that Zuoqiu Courtyard can break through the Daojiao headquarters as soon as possible and resolve this catastrophic calamity at its root."

Seven hundred miles away.

The Master Urn, resembling a blood-mud figure, came from the east. Standing atop the mountain, he gazed at the overwhelming rice blossoms and pollen on the horizon. "In the end, the Yin Shi Zhong Dao has finally erupted. They intend to turn the Lingxiao Shengjing into a Rice Realm."

A melodious voice rang out. "Lingxiao Shengjing is an excellent place to cultivate Benevolent Rice. It can produce a large number of rice people in a short time. Mining, Coffin Retrieval, and forging magical artifacts can solve the huge gap in weapons and provisions in the Demon Kingdom."

"Yu Daozhen's support for the Rice Cult and the establishment of the Rice Realm will be his most important achievement, giving him the upper hand in the power struggles of Carefree Capital."

"If he fails at the last minute, those ruthless people, including the Demon Consort Changyu Lu, will definitely seize the opportunity to make trouble."

Xia Jin climbed the mountain, her breathtakingly beautiful eyes gazing into the distance at the Cloud Heaven Immortal Plain. There, she saw clusters of blood mist enveloping the entire plain, like a prison.

She was enveloped in ethereal mist and floral fragrance, dressed in a light blue gauze robe, her figure exquisitely beautiful, with her incredibly long, jade-like legs and snow-white arms visible through the haze.

One of the Four Great Demon Kings of Lingxiao Shengjing: Xia Jin, the most beautiful Qixia Lake Flower Demon.

She asked doubtfully, "Senior Uncle, you wouldn't be lying to us, would you? If the Mist Son of Heaven were to return, the Cloud Heaven Immortal Plain wouldn't be in this situation; he would have settled everything with a single sword strike long ago."

Master Urn burst out, cursing, "I risked everything to see your master because I feared you would misjudge the situation and follow Kirin Zhuang to your deaths at Cloud Heaven Immortal Plain. And you dare to doubt your uncle? Your uncle has dared to do anything in his life, but he would never dare to do anything to harm your master!"

"Anyway, the situation is what it is now! Kirin Zhuang has returned for revenge. You don't really think he'll compete with Yu Daozhen for the Lingxiao Shengjing and establish Demon Kingdom, do you?"

"If the Rice Realm is established, will your Qixia Lake have any space to survive in the future? Let's fight, first destroy the Blood Sacrifice Altar under the Immortal Plains."

Xia Jin had already made up her mind. "As long as we don't go to the Immortal Plains and put ourselves in danger, I wouldn't mind lending a hand to the Mist Son of Heaven. As for Master, if she participates in the battle of the Cloud Heaven Immortal Plain, the impact will be too great, and our Flower Fairy Clan cannot afford to risk offending the Flying Phoenix. But Master will take action at the Rice Sect headquarters."

"I hope my Junior Sister can get the <Bright Star Book>, that would be a huge win for her!"

Master Urn was able to lure his Junior Sister out because of the news that "the Rice Sect's main altar possesses the <Bright Star Book>".

Cloud Heaven Immortal Plain, North Pond Pass.

The armies of the Northern Territory Five Prefectures arrayed themselves before the gate, spears and swords at their sides, ready for battle.

Tang Shituo was stationed outside the North Heaven Gate at the northernmost edge of Cloud Heaven Immortal Plain, guarding the lifeline for the evacuation of the people of Lingxiao City.

Standing in this position, one can gaze at the epic battle to the south, and also see the battle outside the eight Blood Sacrifice Altar below the Immortal Plains, with the battle line stretching for thousands of miles.

The two transcendent Old Ancestor Wanyan " and " Old Ancestor Tuoba," are currently engaged in a duel with two deceased transcendent beings below the Immortal Plains.

Those two departed spirits were there to guard this direction, specifically to prevent Xue Jian Tang Ting from destroying the Blood Sacrifice Altar in the north.

The departed spirits were not limited to just these two; another figure appeared in the distance of North Pond Pass, but was intimidated by Tang Shituo and did not act rashly. They were waiting for Tang Shituo to go to Lingxiao City so that they could take the opportunity to annihilate the Xue Jian Tang Ting army and break through the pass.

A vast crowd of refugees fled from the North City of Lingxiao City. Martial cultivators at the Longevity Realm and Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivator were at the forefront, followed by martial cultivators at the Five Seas Realm.

The higher one's cultivation level, the faster one can escape.

"Activate the Heaven Gate Formation and let them leave."

After giving the order, Tang Shituo's gaze locked onto an Old Man in Black Robe hidden in the crowd. With a swift movement, he appeared before the Old Man: "Li Longshu, you think you can just leave?"

In the next instant, the Old Man in Black Robe was lifted into the air by Tang Shituo and moved away from the crowd.

"Bang!"

The Black Robe Old Man's body exploded, revealing Li Longshu, who was hidden within Old Man. Severely injured, Li Longshu was no match for Tang Shituo.

Amidst screams of agony, the Li Longshu perished completely.
