Six Purifying Karma, Third Layer

Li Weiyi followed Huang Liao to the back gate of the residence.

All around was pitch black, and in the distance lay the desolate Gobi Desert, where withered trees remained undecayed for millennia. Many carts and Spirit Steed could be seen, resting in the darkness.

Only the two ghost lamps under the eaves emitted a ghostly blue glow.

Yu'er buried her face in Li Weiyi's arms; the quiet, eerie environment made her somewhat afraid.

"Knock knock!"

Huang Liao knocked on the door.

The wooden door opened.

The one who opened the door was a ghostly servant dressed in a gray-white robe, with a withered face and bone wings growing from his back.

Li Weiyi walked through the door.

Behind me, the wooden door slammed shut.

A layer of ghostly blue, will-o'-the-wisp-like array Light Veil enveloped the entire courtyard. Eighteen white Yin Banner fluttered in the wind, while paper money and white mist danced in the air.

Before me lay a desolate and silent backyard.

The servant of the dead stood before the wooden door, his hands clasped together, his face eerie, staring at Li Weiyi who was turning to look at him with a smile.

Li Weiyi, feigning ignorance, said, "Manager Huang, something seems off about this place... Hey, Manager Huang..."

Huang Liao had already flashed away, landing under a Yin Banner more than twenty feet away. Using the Formation Script released by the Yin Banner to protect himself, he laughed from afar, "Brother Li, I'm sorry, there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. I'm a businessman, how could a businessman give you two Sun-Avoiding Bead for free?"

"Aren't we making friends?" Li Weiyi said.

Huang Liao said, "If this is how you make friends, then how worthless are friends? Brother Li, you're too inexperienced!"

"Uncle shopkeeper, so you're a bad person after all," Yu'er said angrily.

Huang Liao sighed, "Yu'er, in the face of such a harsh environment, there are only the living and the dead; there are no good people or bad people."

Yu'er asked with great concern, "Master, what should we do?"

"Don't be afraid."

Li Weiyi gently patted her small shoulder, his gaze sweeping into the darkness. "Manager Huang must have done this kind of thing quite a few times, right? Why did he set his sights on me, this fat sheep? I didn't flaunt my wealth before coming to the Departed Spirit Market."

"Young and highly skilled, how could he not be wealthy?" Huang Liao said.

"You still know you're easy prey?"

Yang Qingchan flashed and appeared atop the three-story building directly in front of her. Her figure was slender and graceful, her hair swaying in the wind, and her voice carried a hint of schadenfreude.

Huang Liao looked surprised, clearly unaware that she would appear here.

"This is the fifth goddess of the Divine Cult!"

Li Songjian walked out of the darkness with his hands behind his back.

Behind him followed Yao Qingfeng, who was carrying a bronze funeral lamp.

"Greetings, Fifth Goddess." Huang Liao immediately bowed.

Li Weiyi narrowed his eyes, staring at Li Songjian, who bore a striking resemblance to Li Songlin and looked very familiar. "Senior, is your surname Li?"

Having dared to commit murder and robbery, Li Songjian was naturally unafraid of revealing his identity and had no intention of leaving any survivors. "Do you know me?"

Li Weiyi wasn't very familiar with Li Songjian; three years had passed, and many things had become hazy. He said, "It doesn't matter anymore! Who wants to go first?"

"Whoosh!"

A glimmer of light appeared between Yao Qingfeng's brows.

The lamp in his hand shone brightly.

Behind them, thick white mist surged forth, and hundreds of ghostly figures rushed out from the mist. Among them were two Yin Ghost Commander, who unleashed the aura of Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivator level.

Dozens of ghost generals surrounded Li Weiyi.

"Whoosh!"

Li Songjian speed, arriving in front of Li Weiyi a step ahead of the two Yin Ghost Commander. His inner energy surged forth, and he fiercely punched Li Weiyi in the chest.

The force of the punch contained a chilling aura, covering the entire backyard with a thick layer of icy frost.

"Boom!"

Li Weiyi stood straight in place, arriving first despite starting later.

He struck out with his palm, steadily catching Li Songjian's punch.

The ground beneath my feet cracked open with a series of sharp cracks.

Li Songjian was quite startled and retreated swiftly, putting distance between himself and Li Weiyi.

"Bang! Bang!"

Li Weiyi flicked his sleeve, blasting the two charging Yin Ghost Commander apart into two clouds of ghostly mist that spread throughout the entire courtyard.

Huang Liao and Yao Qingfeng were both greatly alarmed.

They knew this fat sheep was not weak, but they never expected that a young man no more than thirty years old could be this strong.

Li Songjian's mind was in turmoil. The punch he had just thrown with all his might had been caught by his opponent using only his physical strength, seemingly without any magical energy.

"Who exactly are you?" Li Songjian asked in a deep voice.

Li Weiyi stood tall and straight, his gaze sharp. "Tell me, who are you loyal to? The Rice Cult, or Coffin Mountain?"

After a brief silence, a Seventh-Rank Hundred-Character Artifact flew out from Li Songjian's ancestral field. Its Dao Heart Manifestation was released, and it then unleashed the Thirty-Six Axes of the Heavenly Demon.

A single axe strike came from the front, the cold wind like a knife, and the axe shadow reached several meters high.

Yao Qingfeng unleashed Psychic Attack, staring directly at Li Weiyi, targeting his soul and consciousness.

"Splash!"

Within the Huang Liao Feng Mansion, a soul-binding iron chain flew out, coiling in circles in the void.

He reached out and grabbed one end of the iron chain, then shook his arm. A large number of crimson scriptures appeared on the chain, transforming into a giant black iron dragon that coiled around Li Weiyi's legs.

"Aww!"

The high-pitched roar of the Dragon Roar was deafening.

Li Weiyi released the Dao Heart Manifestation, and the entire backyard was transformed into a fiery domain. Strands of magical energy condensed into Seven-clawed Fiery Heavenly Dragon, which sent Li Songjian, Yao Qingfeng, and Huang Liao flying.

Li Songjian's cultivation had reached the Sixth Heaven the Dao Seed Realm, which was slightly better, as he could still stand.

Huang Liao was severely injured by the shockwave, and even the Yin Banner Formation Script could not defend against it.

Yao Qingfeng Psychic Attack Li Weiyi with his telekinetic power, but was backfired by it, falling to the ground and rolling around in agony, his head throbbing with pain, screaming incessantly.

Yang Qingchan had already summoned six Bodhi Seed, intending to use them to hunt down the young man. However, upon sensing the aura within Li Weiyi's magical energy, she immediately withdrew the Bodhi Seed.

Yang Qingxi and Yang Lin rushed over.

Wearing a veil, Yang Qingxi looked at Li Weiyi standing in the center of the Seven-clawed Fiery Heavenly Dragon and felt both annoyed and amused.

Why did those fools from the Jiu Li Tribe have to mess with him?

"Li Weiyi!"

Yang Lin quickly walked to Li Songjian's side. "It's like the flood washed away the Dragon King's temple, we don't even recognize our own people. It's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. Huang Liao, Yao Qingfeng, what kind of mess have you two made? Why don't you apologize to the Hidden Person right now?"

Since Li Weiyi's battle with Xie Chucai at the Six Thoughts Zen Temple, the Seven-clawed Fiery Heavenly Dragon Dao Heart Manifestation has spread throughout the world and become the trademark of the Jiu Li Hidden Person.

Li Songjian quickly put down his battle axe and sighed, "Oh, Weiyi, I am your eldest uncle. Your fourth uncle often mentions you to me, and misses you very much."

Huang Liao and Yao Qingfeng trembled and knelt down to the side, burying their heads on the ground.

There was nothing they could do; Li Weiyi's cultivation was simply too strong. Just by releasing the Dao Heart Manifestation, it felt as if a mountain had fallen on them.

Li Weiyi dispelled his Disguise Art: "Fourth Uncle is Fourth Uncle. You want to be my eldest uncle? Are you worthy? Answer my previous question."

He had no relationship with the Li Songjian family, only grudges.

Yang Qingxi walked out gracefully and stood next to Yang Qingchan: "They haven't been able to contact the main altar of the Rice Sect yet; they were subdued by Xu Fudu."

Li Weiyi had a plan in mind. Staring at Li Songjian, he continued, "As far as I know, one of the nine tribal chiefs of the Jiu Li Tribe has also been subdued by Coffin Mountain. You should know who it is, right?"

The Hidden Lord has been investigating the greatest traitor of the Jiu Li Tribe, but to no avail.

Li Songjian appealed to emotions, saying bitterly, "We had no choice. Xu Fudu's cultivation and combat strength are almost on par with my father's. We were captured by him and had the Death Spirit Fire planted in us. How could we dare disobey his orders?"

"Now it's all good. The Coffin Mountain Taboo is dead, and Xu Fudu has fled. We are no longer at his mercy. The only one... the Hidden Person, we had no choice before, but now we only want to repent and do more good deeds to make up for our past mistakes."

Yu'er's voice was still childish. "If you really wanted to repent, why did you try to kill Master just now?"

Li Weiyi said calmly, "See? Even children don't believe you. Answer my question, and whoever answers first will have their life spared."

"Whoosh!"

A blinding light shone from the darkness.

The sound of wind breaking rang out.

Huo Dingnan, wielding a twelve-foot-long silver spear, transformed into a series of afterimages, and at top speed, he pierced through the air to reach Li Weiyi, the spear tip striking directly at his brow.

He was the second most powerful cultivator in the Tianyi Gate, far surpassing Li Songjian in cultivation, reaching the Eighth Heaven of Dao Seed Realm.

Li Weiyi uttered the word "forward," then teleported away, landing on a distant rooftop.

The Staff Spear of All Things flew out from the Fengfu point at the back of his head and landed in his hand.

Combining telekinesis and martial arts, a crimson-gold flame armor appeared on his body. Holding Yu'er in one arm and wielding a spear in the other, he clashed with Huo Dingnan, who was attacking again.

"Bang!"

Spears clashed, sparks flew.

The building beneath them collapsed with a deafening roar.

Li Weiyi's mental power has reached the peak of Six-star Mind Master. His cultivation as Wind Mansion Dragon Seed has also taken a big step forward without deliberate training.

With his external wisdom and internal martial prowess combined, his combat strength surpasses that of Huo Dingnan, and he can hold his own against him with a single hand.

Yang Qingxi had long heard of Li Weiyi's exploits in Lingxiao City, such as breaking through the Dao Image and defeating Du'e Temple Xie Chucai, the prodigy of Du'e Temple, but seeing it with her own eyes today was a completely different kind of shock.

This guy is actually able to fight against the sect leader of the top sect in Lizhou with one hand.

They've only been apart for a few months!

Yang Qingxi could hardly imagine what heights he would reach in a few years.

"Go, run away quickly!"

Li Songjian, Yang Lin, Huang Liao, Yao Qingfeng attempted to break the formation and escape.

"Still trying to leave?"

Li Weiyi roared and released the Seven Little Ones.

Yang Qingxi and Yang Qingchan had already made their move, like two swallows flying in pairs, one on the left and one on the right, intercepting the four people.

Before long, all four men's tendons in their hands and feet were severed.

His cultivation was sealed, and he collapsed to the ground.

Huo Dingnan recognized Li Weiyi's prowess and tried to gain the upper hand in over ten moves, employing every technique imaginable. He then decisively retreated and charged towards the array's light barrier.

"It's too late to leave now!"

Li Weiyi unleashed the third level of the Six Purifying Karma, "Karma Fire Transformation," completely combining martial arts and mental power.

The flames solidified into a three- Golden Crow several meters long. With its wings spread, the heat waves it released instantly set the entire building in the courtyard ablaze.

Even the eighteen Yin Banner were set ablaze.

"Puff!"

Huo Dingnan was struck by the claw of the three- Golden Crow, and his Magic Tool Battle Robe was instantly burned through. The flesh on his chest turned charred black.

He coughed up blood and fell to the ground.

He was horrified to discover that the Seventh-Rank Hundred-Character Artifact in his hand had been broken in two by the three- Golden Crow's claw, and the broken part showed signs of melting.

What kind of Daoist technique is this?

How could it be so terrible?

Li Weiyi landed on the ground, the spear pointing at his brow. A huge Flame Golden Crow flew over, hovered above his head, and then dispersed, transforming into magical energy and Psychic Power Spiritual Light.

Li Weiyi's third level of the Six Purifying Karma is merely the beginning.

However, its power is already comparable to the third level of a fully mastered fire Major Technique.

How could Huo Dingnan possibly stop him?

"Master, I didn't know you were so amazing." Yu'er pursed her lips, her eyes fixed on him, filled with admiration and joy, extremely excited.

Li Weiyi ignored her and looked at Yang Qingxi and Yang Qingchan who were walking over. "If I remember correctly, she is your aunt."

"She's not my biological aunt, so we're not that close," Yang Qingxi said calmly.

Li Weiyi said, "Are you betraying the Divine Cult?"

"I know His Highness's strength. If I hadn't pledged allegiance beforehand, who knows what would have happened to me? Regardless of our allegiance, our personal feud has long been settled!" Yang Qingxi said.

Because of the blood letter, Li Weiyi felt somewhat guilty, since she had helped them win several life-or-death battles.

Let bygones be bygones!

At this moment, Li Weiyi finally felt truly at ease, and said again, "But the money owed to me must be repaid."
