Void Imprint

"It's unclear; the entire habitat is in turmoil, making it difficult to spread accurate information."

Yang Qingxi took out a map of the secluded realm and spread it out on the table.

The map marks the Twenty-Eight Prefectures where Lingxiao Shengjing, as well as the East Sea.

There are also 272 states shrouded in shadow, many of which are marked with circles.

Yang Qingxi said, "The Netherworld region ruled by Lord Lan includes nine cities, ten prefectures, and twelve caves, occupying the territory of thirty-one of the Three Hundred Prefectures of Lingxiao a thousand years ago, which is even larger than the entire Lingxiao Shengjing."

"The Old Yuzhou Prefectural City is 12,000 li away from us. I've marked all the more dangerous areas."

"Other human martial artists who reach the Dao Seed Realm dare to venture into the Netherworld. With our cultivation levels, why can't we go to a mere Yuzhou?"

"If we don't go, other human martial artists will definitely go. All the Myriad Gate Families, the Lei Xiao Sect in the Eastern Territory, the Three Island Barbarians of the East Sea, and even the Rice Cult—who doesn't covet the Phoenix Blood Tree?"

"The spirit within Qingchan is very familiar with this secluded realm and can serve as our guide. What do you say, Your Highness, are you interested?"

"I smelled a familiar scent on the wind."

Li Weiyi suddenly leaped onto the ten-foot-high blue brick wall of the courtyard. Through the array of light, he looked towards the ancient county town street where the Departed Spirit Market was located. He saw a large number of cavalrymen wearing the armor of the Rice Cult Patrol Guard rapidly approaching the courtyard.

Most of them are here to collect supplies.

Outside the main gate of the mansion.

Two figures, one in gray and one in white, were already standing there.

The two possessed an extraordinary aura and moved with incredible speed, appearing out of thin air as if they had descended from the sky.

The figure in gray was none other than the Second Divine Son, Huangxu. He had a thin face, high cheekbones, and thick, sword-like eyebrows. Li Weiyi had met him once in Lingxiao City.

The figure in white looked very much like Huangxu, clearly his brother, Kongxu.

The two did not rush in, clearly sensing something amiss.

"You and Yang Qingchan go first, I'll say goodbye to some acquaintances," Li Weiyi said to Yang Qingxi.

Standing next to Li Weiyi, Yang Qingxi felt a surge of tension upon seeing the Huangxu and Kongxu outside. The cultivation level of the second divine son of the Rice Sect was absolutely unfathomable.

Who wouldn't fear Longevity Realm Giants?

Even one of them is extremely difficult to deal with, let alone two coming at once.

The Rice Brothers share a deep understanding and their Combined Battle Tactic are formidable. Together, they can often overcome adversity and defeat their opponents. Moreover, the Huangxu and the Kongxu are themselves inheritors of this legacy.

"Be careful, they're not simple. Several years ago, they had already condensed their Dao Fruit. Even when they crossed realms, their combat power was stronger than Huo Dingnan's. Now, they might have already reached the Eighth Heaven of Dao Seed Realm."

Yang Qingxi knew very well that Li Weiyi's "saying hello" was actually buying her time to escape. Otherwise, if she were exposed here, there would be nowhere for her to hide in the vast world.

Li Weiyi laughed and said, "As long as no Longevity Realm Giants come, no one can stop me from leaving if I want to. If Longevity Realm Giants accompany me, why would they be so hesitant?"

Ultimately, Daojiao Wuxiu was already on edge, probably suspecting that there might be a trap set by a powerful human being inside the mansion.

"A thousand eight hundred li to the east of here lies a white desert. Whether you go to Yuzhou or not, I'll wait for you at its edge for two days. Child, would you like me to take you away?"

Yang Qingxi and Yang Qingchan donned Invisibility Nightwalker's Robe and each carried a magical artifact. They appeared at the back door, ready to break it down and escape at any moment.

"No!"

Li Weiyi had already carried Yu'er on his back and wrapped her in his cloak.

Are you kidding me? This is his Protective Talisman.

Outside the courtyard.

Kongxu, dressed in white, stared at the array barrier and noticed many cracks in the ground beneath the wall.

Clearly, a battle broke out inside not long ago.

He glanced at the Huangxu beside him, and the two became wary, secretly circulating their magical energy. Who knew if a powerful member of the Jiu Li Tribe had seen through Li Songjian's identity and was lying in ambush?

"Boom!"

Yi Zhouxue and Can Yexue, leading ninety elite Patrol Guard, appeared behind the two.

Those who managed to escape the battle in the Underground Immortal Mansion were all quite powerful.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Yi Zhouxue held a long spear and looked towards the house ahead.

"Something's not right. It seems like something's happened to Li Songjian and the others!"

The four communicated and discussed matters in secret via telepathy.

Yi Zhouxue gave a look, and immediately, the six Dao Seed Realm Patrol Guard Old Man him activated all the scriptures in their Hundred-Character Weapon Spears, which burned like torches.

The six strange beasts beneath him charged out.

Six flaming spears thrust out simultaneously, condensing into a cloud of fire that struck the array of Light Veil in front of the residence.

"Sizzle!"

Li Weiyi stood prominently behind the array's Light Veil, looking at the area a zhang away where the Light Veil was being torn apart by crimson flames and was violently shaking. He then channeled all his magical energy into his left palm.

"Boom!"

The Overturning Sky Palm Seal was unleashed.

A divine seal, several meters in size, sent the six Dao Seed Realm Old Man and their beasts flying as they charged forward.

People and horses were thrown into chaos.

Screams and roars of strange beasts filled the air.

"Li Weiyi!"

In Yi Zhouxue recognized the man standing in front of the gate. His angry and furious shout even echoed throughout the Departed Spirit Market.

"It's me! Yi Zhouxue. We should settle our old scores!"

Li Weiyi thrust out his spear from a distance, and a beam of Golden Crow Flame, as thick as a wine cup, flew straight towards Yi Zhouxue.

The distance was extremely short, only a few feet, and they arrived in an instant.

Huangxu and Can Yexue roared in anger, wanting to rush to the rescue, but it was too late.

"Bang!"

"Puff..."

With Yi Zhouxue's cultivation at the Fifth Heaven the Snow Dao Seed Realm, how could he possibly withstand Li Weiyi's well-prepared attack?

Even if the Young Son of Heaven were to arrive, it would be difficult for him to withstand a single move from Li Weiyi, even if they were at the same cultivation level.

The protective aura and armor of Yi Zhouxue were as thin as paper, pierced by the Staff Spear of All Things, leaving a bloody hole through her chest, and her body was thrown out.

After landing, it could only exhale, and no more inhale.

Huangxu and Can Yexue were furious; they never expected Li Weiyi to be so audacious.

Alone, he not only targeted the cult's stronghold, but he also dared to stay and set up an ambush.

"Take him down; he's just Six-star Mind Master."

Kongxu, who had originally intended to block the back door, immediately turned back and, together with Huangxu, rushed into the courtyard like lightning, attacking Li Weiyi.

Taking advantage of the chaos at the main gate, Yang Qingxi and Yang Qingchan quietly slipped out through the back door and headed towards the top of the Gobi hill. Upon reaching the summit, they paused briefly and glanced back at the distant house below, now engulfed in a deafening roar.

Yang Qingchan smiled sinisterly, "He does care about you to some extent; he's a man with feelings. But his Fiancée is Zuoqiu Hongting, and his confidante is that woman from the Jiang family. You know what kind of background that woman from the Jiang family has. What do you have to compare with them? Background, talent, beauty..."

"Walk."

The two women quickly disappeared into the depths of a dark, secluded place.

In the Departed Spirit Market, many human martial artists who heard the name "Li Weiyi" came to watch from the vicinity.

Among the younger generation of Lingxiao Shengjing, Li Weiyi's name is absolutely renowned. Although he cannot yet compare with the top experts recorded in the "Cycle Record," he is unparalleled among those under the age of thirty.

No one expected him to appear in the Netherworld of the Departed.

"Traitor! The downfall of the Divine Cult was due to Yao Qingxuan and you, master and disciple." Huangxu released his Dao Heart Manifestation, enveloping the entire mansion to prevent Li Weiyi from escaping.

"You flatter me. My master and I are not of such importance."

Li Weiyi sensed the overwhelming power of the Huangxu and Kongxu cultivation, and the Dao Heart Manifestation were like two millstones, one above the other, pressing down on him.

Both of them are at the Eighth Heaven of Dao Seed Realm, and either of them could easily defeat Huo Dingnan.

Li Weiyi dared not be careless in the slightest. He used his movement technique to avoid a direct confrontation with them. He arrived at the center of the courtyard, and with his Staff Spear of All Things in hand, he suddenly struck the ground.

With a loud bang, a large area of the ground collapsed, and dust flew everywhere.

The supplies in the cellar made crackling sounds as they were all buried.

"That's enough for today. I don't want to fight to the death with a bunch of desperate people."

"Whoosh!"

Li Weiyi used the "Forward" technique, his body flashing with light, and he shifted his form five times in a row, appearing outside the courtyard. Then, he fled to a certain location in the secluded realm.

"Still trying to leave?"

Huangxu pressed his palm down on the ground, and magical energy surged from his palm like a river as he unleashed the Daoist techniques from the <Void Imprint>.

The Dao Heart Manifestation, along with Daoist techniques, are combined.

Instantly, the soil on the ground bulged up, forming dense ancient scriptures that stretched all the way to Li Weiyi's feet, hundreds of meters away.

Li Weiyi clearly felt his body become heavy and his speed was suppressed.

The ground began to spin, and his body was uncontrollably pulled back by the Huangxu.

"What powerful Daoist magic!" Li Weiyi pondered a solution.

The young seller who had previously sold Li Weiyi five Phoenix Blood Tree Leaf, Liu Ye, stood atop a dilapidated building a mile away. He had been standing there for a long time.

He followed behind Li Weiyi when she entered the courtyard.

At this moment, Liu Ye was very confused.

First, Li Weiyi's strength surprised him greatly.

Secondly, when Li Weiyi was on the street, he was clearly at odds with that woman, so why did he take the initiative to help her leave after only a short while inside the courtyard?

That makes absolutely no sense.

"Aww!"

Li Weiyi stepped on a phantom yellow dragon, soaring into the air and shaking off the Daoist magic on the ground.

"Go back."

A Kongxu in white robes appeared above Li Weiyi with a speed imperceptible to the naked eye. He had one hand behind his back and the other hand unleashed a circular mark tens of feet in diameter.

The ancient inscriptions inside the circular mark are very similar to the writing on the ground.

If they are knocked back to the ground, they will be in a dangerous situation where they cannot defend themselves from both above and below.

"Whoosh!"

Li Weiyi remained calm and wielded his spear, unleashing the third level of the Six Purifying Karma. With Unity of Intent and Martial Arts, a Flame Golden Crow several meters long flew out, its light illuminating the entire Departed Spirit Market.

"Boom!"

The enormous Flame Golden Crow collided with the circular mark that descended from the sky.

The two are annihilated.

Fireballs flew in all directions, crashing into the ground with a deafening roar.

"This move has the feel of a fully mastered third-level Major Technique. How can someone in the Lingxiao Shengjing have such high comprehension?" Liu Ye was surprised, clearly sensing that Li Weiyi's level of magical energy was very low and that he had not yet condensed Dao Fruit.

How could a martial artist who hasn't even condensed Dao Fruit be so powerful?

The powerful impact struck Li Weiyi's protective aura, sending him plummeting towards the ground. Just as he was about to fall into the earth's markings set up by the Huangxu, a Purple Mist Light Cluster suddenly appeared around him.

A powerful spatial fluctuation erupted.

That's all for today. Until we meet again.

Using the Provincial Governor's Official Robe, Li Weiyi disappeared into the Purple Mist Light Cluster, and in an instant, he was already several miles away.

"Still within the Dao Heart Manifestation, pursue it."

The Dao Heart Manifestation Huangxu Dao heart could reach twenty miles away. His body's magical energy burned, and a layer of crimson flame robes appeared on his body, transforming into a streak of flame light that chased after him.

In mid-air, Kongxu unleashed the Daoist technique "Flowing Light Tracing Shadow" and flew away like a shooting star.

The two of them weren't trying to kill a traitor; they were well aware that Li Weiyi possessed many valuable treasures. Furthermore, by capturing him as a hostage, they could save their lives even if they encountered Longevity Realm Giants from the Zuoqiu Courtyard or the Jiu Li Tribe at the Longevity Realm.
