Phoenix Blood Tree

"Being assigned to guard the city gates, is that something only the strong do? When others go into the city, they grab all sorts of treasures, resources, and rare medicines, and divide them up among themselves, while we get nothing."

"They're all eating meat, while we, the Huangjiang lineage, are just standing there like idiots."

"I think it's because you're too timid; they're taking advantage of your honest nature."

The Water Ferret Immortal howled in anger.

Prince Baba was also annoyed. "Don't give me that look. Guarding the east gate is Her Highness the Princess's order."

"What's wrong with Her Highness the Princess? What are you afraid of? Why don't you dare to fight her?" Water Ferret Immortal.

The two demons entered the Hill of Corpses, their faces filled with resentment.

"Gentlemen, what's going on? Why did the war suddenly break out?" Li Weiyi stepped forward and asked.

Prince Baba said, "It was the forces of the Dao Palace and the Lingxiao Dao Cult who struck first and breached the North City. Now, all the forces have converged there, so we must set off immediately."

The number of demonic beasts in the Huangjiang lineage is not large, only about a hundred, all of which were carefully selected and brought over.

"Whoosh!"

Li Weiyi stood atop the giant python's skeleton, using it as his mount, and unleashed his Psychic Power Spiritual Light. Each beam of light was a thread, controlling over a hundred powerful skeletal puppets as they marched majestically towards the Old Yuzhou Prefectural City.

It did, however, enhance the prestige of the Huangjiang Demon Race clan.

When Li Weiyi, Water Ferret Immortal, and Prince Baba arrived at the moat outside the East Gate, the gate had already been breached by Princess Dengfeng. Even the city wall had a gap of 100 meters, with rocks scattered all over the ground.

At the gap.

Ghosts and spirits kept fleeing outwards, riding on black mist and smoke.

They were intercepted by the skeletal puppets controlled by Li Weiyi and the demonic beasts of the Huangjiang lineage.

Princess Dengfeng gave a death order: kill them all, leaving no one alive.

Yang Qingchan participated, absorbing the soul food.

Yang Qingxi stood atop the giant python's skeleton, holding a sword behind Li Weiyi, resembling a stunningly beautiful swordswoman in green robes.

Li Weiyi, holding Yu'er's hand, opened his Heavenly Eye his eyebrows to observe the chaotic and fierce battle within the city, and then looked out into the endless darkness, where he discovered the aura fluctuations of many human martial artists.

They exist both inside and outside the city.

A priest from the Jiu Li Tribe appeared; he was an old man in his seventies or eighties, with white hair, holding a clay soul bottle, and flying across the city wall. Each time he threw the soul bottle, he could collect hundreds of ghosts.

Elders from the Lei Xiao Sect also unleashed their thunder magic, clashing with the powerful spirits of the departed; the lightning bolts were dazzling.

The humans of Lingxiao Shengjing dared to participate in this struggle, naturally because of the confidence given to them by Zen Sea Observing Mist and Yu Yaozi. They were certain that the Demon Race of the East Sea and the old guys above the Great Longevity among the departed spirits were all hiding, so they were fearless.

The Longevity Realm Giants from various factions, all destined for immortality, have long since gathered, formed alliances, and clashed in Unknown Land.

The Water Ferret Immortal stood on the back of a skeleton puppet, watching anxiously, scratching its ears and cheeks, eager to enter the city and reap the benefits.

It started being sarcastic again. "You said you'd help Lu Cangsheng catch a few spirits with the bodies of the Longevity Realm cultivators, and now look what's happened, we can't even get into the city. So we'll just have to catch ghosts here, damn it, we won't get a single penny out of it."

Li Weiyi said, "Actually, I think that with your strength, Her Highness the Princess wouldn't put you in a useless position. Why did Her Highness order that all the escaped spirits be killed?"

"What's the meaning?"

Prince Baba and the Water Ferret Immortal asked in unison.

Li Weiyi said, "I believe that if the spirits in the city knew this, the city would definitely not be able to be defended. It is very likely that they would put the resources and treasures into their dimensional bags in advance, harvest them ahead of time, and then take advantage of the chaos to escape from the city."

"To the west, only a few thousand miles from the East Sea, it would be easy for powerful Demon Race to intercept us."

"The most likely escape route is through the east gate. Once they escape, they can head east and penetrate deep into the Netherworld, where no one will dare to pursue them easily."

"Look at that hundred-meter-long gap in the city wall. I suspect that Her Highness deliberately breached it."

After listening to Li Weiyi's analysis, Prince Baba's spirits lifted, and his gaze towards the Water Ferret Immortal was no longer hesitant. "Lu Cangsheng is right. Her Highness the Princess must have entrusted this most important interception mission to the demon she trusts most, which is me, her cousin. All you do is complain; how could you understand Her Highness the Princess's deeper meaning?"

"You understand now?" The Water Ferret Immortal was speechless.

Prince Baba said, "The facts are clear, no explanation is needed. Demon cubs of the Huangjiang River, be alert, don't let a single spirit escape."

The first powerful undead has appeared.

It was originally hiding among a group of dead and malevolent spirits. On the banks of the moat, it was intercepted by seven skeleton puppets and forced to reveal its cultivation level and forcefully break through the barrier.

"Aww!"

It was a Four-armed Departed Spirit Commander with two disheveled heads and an eye in each of its four palms. Each eye released a different power, shattering the seven skeletal puppets into dust.

"You Demon Race of the East Sea, remember the humiliation of our city's destruction today. I will avenge you sooner or later."

The four-armed, four-eyed commander transformed into a dark blue-green mist, soaring into the sky and fleeing rapidly into the distance.

"It's very strong, comparable to a martial artist at the Eighth Heaven of Dao Seed Realm. It must be carrying a Boundary Bag. I'll go after it."

The Water Ferret Immortal was very eager and excited. She held back Prince Baba, who was about to give chase, and stepped on dark red clouds to catch up.

Li Weiyi glanced at Second Phoenix in her sleeve, but did not pursue her.

Second Phoenix could sense the scent of the Phoenix Blood Tree Leaf; any spirit that had recently come into contact with the Phoenix Blood Tree could not escape its perception.

The Phoenix Blood Tree could not have been taken away by a spirit from the Longevity Realm.

The Demon Race would never allow the spirit of the Immortal Longevity Realm who took the Phoenix Blood Tree to live.

"Clang!"

A massive, blood-red Giant Sword, over ten meters long, flew out from a gap in the city wall, crossed the moat, cleared out a section of the skeletal puppets controlled by Li Weiyi, and sped away into the night.

A ghostly figure dressed in gray stood atop the blood-red Giant Sword.

"This Yin Ghost Commander is quite famous in Yuzhou, one of the top beings below the Longevity Realm. The good stuff is definitely on it; I'll go after it."

Prince Baba Earth Escape to pursue him.

Li Weiyi used his Heavenly Eye to observe the thick, ghostly black mist within the city. He carried Yu'er on his back and transmitted his voice to Yang Qingxi and Yang Qingchan: "The two powerful spirit beings ahead have been lingering inside the breach in the city wall for a long time, secretly discussing something. They're probably deliberately trying to lure away Water Ferret Immortal and Prince Baba. If you encounter Departed Spirit Commander isn't that powerful but is very fast, you can chase after them and intercept them; you might gain some unexpected rewards."

"Whoosh!"

A cloud of gray mist, the size of a house, like an ethereal sphere, burst through the breach in the city wall, carrying a violent hurricane.

Three powerful Demon Race from the Huangjiang faction unleashed their magical artifacts and rushed to intercept them.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The three magical artifacts and the three powerful Demon Race warriors were all sent flying.

It was bizarre; just from being bumped, the three powerful Demon Race lost all their life force. After landing, they turned into three withered corpses.

"There is the scent of the Phoenix Blood Tree, but it's very faint," the Second Phoenix transmitted to Li Weiyi.

Li Weiyi had already affixed the Divine Speed Talisman to his body. After activating it, he unleashed tremendous speed and chased after them with the Staff Spear of All Things.

The spherical gray mist disappeared into the ground after leaving the city.

Li Weiyi used his telekinetic senses to lock onto it and chased it to the ground. With the Staff Spear of All Things, he mobilized the earth's yin energy and attacked the ground through the mud layer.

They chased after him for hundreds of miles.

They were already far from the Old Yuzhou Prefectural City, and the gray fog underground was becoming unbearable.

"With your cultivation level, you dare to pursue me?"

The spherical gray mist dispersed, revealing a three-meter-tall commander of the Corpse Clan, resembling a giant ape, covered in gray corpse hair, with a mouth full of serrated fangs.

It's incredibly fast.

In a flash, a fist the size of a normal human head, carrying the aura of decaying corpse, landed on Li Weiyi.

Having experienced countless battles, Li Weiyi had already activated the defensive scriptures of the Blood Handprint Demonic Armor and the Provincial Governor's Official Robe, and immediately released the Fusang Divine Tree Spirit God and the Dao Heart Manifestation.

"Bang! Bang..."

The Gray Corpse Ape punched and shattered the Fusang Divine Tree Spirit God, the Dao Heart Manifestation, the blood mist scripture, and the protective aura of the Fusang Divine Tree, colliding with the Staff Spear of All Things Li Weiyi was blocking in front of him.

Li Weiyi flew backwards like a cannonball for dozens of meters, leaving a crater more than a meter deep beneath his feet.

"The speed is terrifying, and the strength is astonishing."

The moment he stood still, Li Weiyi threw the Longevity Corpse out of the Boundary Bag, cut his wrist, and splattered his blood onto it.

When the Gray Corpse Ape attacked again, the Longevity Corpse opened its eyes and, together with Li Weiyi, charged forward like lightning from the left and right.

"Boom!"

From within the gray spherical cloud, two enormous arms rose up, crushing Li Weiyi and the Longevity Corpse, forcing them to retreat continuously.

With each step backward, a section of the ground would sink.

"To purify the mind and dispel evil, one must!"

Li Weiyi roared, and a burst of crimson-gold Psychic Power Spiritual Light erupted, surging into the gray clouds.

The Gray Corpse Ape's eyes froze briefly.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Weiyi soared into the air and slammed the Purple Sky Lei Seal downwards.

"Roar!"

The Gray Corpse Ape instantly regained its senses, exhaling a torrent of corpse energy as it punched the Purple Sky Lei Seal head-on.

A thunderous roar followed, the impact sounding like metal clashing against stone, causing the ground beneath the Gray Corpse Ape's feet to arch and spread outwards.

Its body was completely enveloped in lightning.

"Bang!"

The Longevity Corpse was extremely powerful. Seizing the opportunity, it unleashed a four-colored palm strike that struck the Gray Corpse Ape heavily in the chest, sending it flying more than a hundred meters away and crashing into the interior of a mountain.

It should be noted that the combat power of the Longevity Corpse is by no means inferior to that of the Dao Seed Realm at the Ninth Heaven Seed Realm.

With Li Weiyi and it joining forces, along with their Combined Attack Formation and powerful weapons, they wouldn't be without a fighting chance against someone like Qiong Ji Daozi.

Of course, the Longevity Corpse's stamina is poor, and it consumes a lot of Li Weiyi's blood.

Inside the mountain.

The Gray Corpse Ape roared angrily, and the gray corpse energy surging from its body caused a large section of the mountain to collapse, with rocks tumbling down.

"This isn't even a serious injury?"

Li Weiyi knew the Gray Corpse Ape was incredibly fast. He kept a close eye on the collapsed mountainside, released the Seven Little Ones, and planted the Staff Spear of All Things into the ground. He drew Formation Script in the spirit realm and cast the Sun, Moon, and Stars Combined Attack Formation.

"Whoosh!"

The Gray Corpse Ape burst from the ground and soared into the sky, its eyes bloodshot and its body enveloped in a cloud of blood mist.

It swooped down, unleashing two clouds of scriptures from its palms, which collided with the Sun Moon Stars Great Formation erected by Li Weiyi.

The array's Formation Disk and star trail patterns blocked its palm print.

The hand of the Gray Corpse Ape that was struck by the Purple Sky Lei Seal had its fur and flesh completely gone, revealing golden bones.

Its corpse was not that of an ordinary Longevity Realm demon ape.

Of course, no matter how strong it was in life, it is just a new spirit born from a corpse, and its physical strength has long been lost.

With a loud "boom," a section of the area within a radius of several dozen feet sank down, centered on Li Weiyi.

Just then.

A chilling sense of crisis emanated from an unpredictable direction, sending shivers down Li Weiyi's spine.

A Purple Mist Light Cluster appeared in front of him.

"Puff!"

Within the Purple Mist Light Cluster, a paintbrush struck out, hitting Li Weiyi squarely in the chest.

That's too fast! The opponent's cultivation level is incredibly high, and their speed is even faster than the Gray Corpse Ape. It was a sneak attack that crossed space, and the timing was extremely precise.

"Crack."

Li Weiyi suffered two broken ribs and internal organ ruptures. He was thrown off his feet, blood gushing from his mouth and nose.

The Bronze Brush was originally aimed at his heart, but he forcibly avoided it, preventing it from hitting his vital spot.

Only because he was wearing the Blood Handprint Demonic Armor and the Provincial Governor's Official Robe did his body not get pierced. Any other Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivator would have been killed on the spot.

"Master..." Yu'er burst into tears, heartbroken.

She also fell quite hard.

The Formation Disk of the Combined Attack Formation naturally collapsed, Seven Little Ones were knocked into the ground by the palm print of the Gray Corpse Ape.

Fu Wenyan, dressed in the Provincial Governor's Official Robe, holding the Provincial Governor's Official Seal in one hand and twirling Bronze Brush in the other, stepped out from the Purple Mist Light Cluster and glanced at the heavily injured Li Weiyi: "How can the cicada catcher know that he is also the prey?"

"Aww!"

A white mist dragon spirit flew out from the rank badge on the chest of his official robe, knocking the Gray Corpse Ape away.

"The official robes of the prefectural government are indeed useful! You haven't even condensed your Dao Fruit yet, and your level of magical energy is insufficient to summon such a powerful dragon soul as mine."

Fu Wenyan's official robe and seal were taken from the body of a fallen Mist Shadow soldier in Lingxiao City. He escaped from danger several times with the help of these treasures.
