Princess Dengfeng

"Whoosh!"

Li Weiyi's strength exceeded his expectations.

The Staff Spear of All Things pierced through the words and blue clouds protecting Fu Wenyan's body, grazed his scalp, and left a bloody groove from the top of his head to the back of his head, deep enough to see his skull.

Then, with a flick of his spear, he knocked away the page of the <Book of Earth> that was floating on Fu Wenyan's back before Fu Wenyan could disappear into the space.

The Book of Earth says: Guard against what is behind you, not above your head.

"Ah!"

Fu Wenyan roared with a ferocious expression, devoid of any refinement, his anger reaching its peak.

His voice emanated from within the Purple Mist Light Cluster: "Today you stole my <Book of Earth>, I'll make you pay back with interest sooner or later..."

Li Weiyi landed on the hill, grabbed the page of the "Earth Book" that had been flung out, and suppressed it firmly.

His body was encased in fiery golden armor, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, but he did not pursue Fu Wenyan any further.

He sensed an extremely terrifying aura emanating from underground, traveling at an incredible speed towards the location where Fu Wenyan had fled.

"This escape technique is so powerful that even Longevity Realm Giants might not be able to keep up. A fourth-level escape Major Technique? Who is she?"

Li Weiyi's eyes darted around as he thought, then, despite his injuries, he turned back and chased after the Gray Corpse Ape.

After being attacked, Fu Wenyan lost control of the dragon soul. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Gray Corpse Ape escaped and headed east.

It was very fast, but it was injured by the Purple Sky Lei Seal and the Dragon Soul, and was no longer at its peak.

"Splash! Splash..."

Li Weiyi activated the Provincial Governor's Official Robe six times in a row, finally catching up with it and appearing above its head. He reached into his robe, channeled his magical energy, and secretly activated the Evil Camel Bell.

The Gray Corpse Ape suddenly stopped, feeling that the human above it was utterly audacious. It let out a long howl, its blood-red eyes glaring menacingly at Li Weiyi.

Two gray clouds of magical energy appeared on the giant, golden palm.

Above, the sound of camel bells rang out.

The Sound Wave spread downwards.

Hundreds of eerie voices echoed in the Gray Corpse Ape's ears, causing a multitude of distracting thoughts to surface in its mind, making it restless and agitated, and signs of disorder appeared in the magical energy within its body.

"Boom!"

The Evil Camel Bell transformed into the size of a bronze bell, and the Nether Mist into thick clouds, falling from above.

The bell attacked its soul.

From the bell's mouth, ripples of space emanated, binding its body.

"Boom!"

Li Weiyi stood atop the enormous Evil Camel Bell. The bell fell to the ground, causing it to tremble, and the Gray Corpse Ape was absorbed inside.

"Receive."

Li Weiyi jumped off the Evil Camel Bell and unleashed beams of magical energy from both hands.

The bell quickly shrank and flew back into his hand.

"Ding ding."

Suddenly, the Evil Camel Bell trembled.

The ringtone was shrill.

Li Weiyi's expression changed; he knew that the Gray Corpse Ape was attacking from inside and he was trying to escape.

They are currently considering how to suppress the rebellion.

From the bell came the painful roar of the Gray Corpse Ape.

Very low-pitched.

You need to put the bell to your ear to hear it.

"These are Evil Camel Bell! When the bells ring, the souls of those outside will suffer severe effects, let alone those inside!"

Li Weiyi didn't have time to check on the Gray Corpse Ape in the bell. With the help of the Divine Speed Talisman, he headed towards the White Desert.

As for Yang Qingxi's situation in the Old Yuzhou Prefectural City, he could no longer attend to it.

"Master, are you alright? I feel like you've lost a lot of blood, Yu'er is so scared." Only now did Yu'er finally speak, her voice trembling with tears.

"Don't be afraid, Master is perfectly fine. He was just lying to them when he coughed up blood." Li Weiyi didn't want the little girl to live in fear and insecurity.

Yu'er asked in surprise, "Really?"

"This tactic is called feigning weakness..."

Li Weiyi felt a burning pain in her chest, but she forced a smile, revealing a confident and relaxed expression.

After rushing for more than a hundred miles, Li Weiyi suddenly stopped.

In the distance, on a dark hilltop, stood a slender figure dressed in black, holding a sword in one hand and the Provincial Governor's Official Seal in the other, as if she had been waiting there for a long time.

Li Weiyi sensed the killing intent emanating from the other party and knew that with her speed and his current state, there was no way he could escape.

Li Weiyi tried to remain calm and transmitted her voice with her magical energy. "Please, Your Highness, grant me a way out."

The woman in black on the hilltop, a strange look flashing in her eyes, replied telepathically, "Where is my weakness?"

"Below the Longevity Realm, there are very few women stronger than Fu Wenyan. And the only one stronger than him who would conceal her identity and hide her magical energy fluctuations is Her Highness the Princess."

Li Weiyi added, "Even so, it was just a guess. That question just now was purely a test. Your Highness, there's no need to kill anyone to silence me; I won't tell anyone."

Princess Dengfeng was clearly deliberately showing great admiration for Fu Wenyan and pretending not to know his true identity.

In this way, by killing Fu Wenyan, Du'e Temple and Saints Learning Sea would not suspect the East Sea Demon Race.

Instead, she could use this opportunity to frame someone and achieve her second goal.

Clearly, Fu Wenyan was exceptionally skilled at escaping; Princess Dengfeng was unable to kill him without revealing her identity. Otherwise, she would surely be wearing the Provincial Governor's Official Robe by now.

After all, if she wanted to kill Li Weiyi, who was wearing the Provincial Governor's Official Robe, it would be safest for her to wear the Provincial Governor's Official Robe as well.

Princess Dengfeng no longer concealed her voice, walking step by step towards Li Weiyi: "Hand over that page of the <Book of Earth> and the Gray Corpse Ape, and I'll let you leave."

Li Weiyi retreated step by step. "If we each take a page of the <Book of the Earth>, neither of us will reveal the secret. If I give you the <Book of the Earth>, you will surely kill me, and you can't let anyone have any leverage over you. If Your Highness takes another step forward, I'll have to shout! Are you sure there aren't other living beings or spirits lurking in the darkness?"

Princess Dengfeng did not stop. "Do you really think I'm afraid of the Du'e Temple and the Saints Learning Sea?"

"Du'e Temple and Saints Learning Sea may not necessarily travel all the way to the Netherworld to help Fu Wenyan regain his honor. But they will definitely mobilize a large force for the sake of the <Book of Earth>," Li Weiyi said.

"If you dare threaten me today, you'll dare even more in the future. Rather than being threatened indefinitely, it's better to cut the Gordian knot. Shout if you want!"

Princess Dengfeng unleashed unparalleled speed, charging straight forward.

The black figure almost disappeared due to its speed.

Even faster than her physical speed was the Dao Heart Manifestation that she released.

The Dao Heart Manifestation enveloped Li Weiyi, isolating her from the outside world, thus preventing her from revealing her secret.

Li Weiyi stared intently at her, his fingers pressing on the cloak behind his back.

"Whoosh!"

A figure, whose speed rivaled that of Princess Dengfeng, burst forth from the darkness behind Li Weiyi.

The two clashed, sword and palm, seven feet in front of Li Weiyi.

"Boom!"

Liu Ye stood tall and straight, her right hand clashing with the sword that Princess Dengfeng thrust at her.

He took three steps back, and from the ancestral field, a long spear flew out.

"Boom!"

He swung his long spear backhand, shattering the air and forcing back Princess Dengfeng, who was attacking again.

Liu Ye stood three steps away from Li Weiyi, slamming his long spear heavily into the ground, causing the earth to tremble like waves. He said, "Your Highness, while concealing your identity, is no match for me."

Li Weiyi's eyes widened in surprise; he hadn't expected that the young merchant surnamed Liu from the Departed Spirit Market would be hiding nearby.

Princess Dengfeng was even more astonished that, with her cultivation level, she hadn't detected Liu Ye hiding nearby beforehand. Such a method of concealment was simply terrifying.

She didn't rush to attack again. "Who are you? Apart from Tang Wanzhou, there is no expert as strong as you below the Longevity Realm in the Lingxiao Shengjing Realm."

With just this one sentence, Li Weiyi realized that Princess Dengfeng had a deep understanding of the situation in Lingxiao Shengjing.

That's a bit scary!

This suggests that the Demon Race of the East Sea did have designs on the Lingxiao Shengjing.

Liu Ye said, "Your Highness, you don't need to know who I am. If you want to fight, I'll fight you. But this person, I must save him today."

"Do you think you have such a say in the East Sea?" Princess Dengfeng asked.

Liu Ye said, "Your Highness, what makes me think I dare to come to the East Sea? The roots of the Phoenix Blood Tree cannot be dug away by the Gray Corpse Ape. If Your Highness doesn't hurry back to the Old Yuzhou Prefectural City, the Prince Mingjiao will win the battle for the Phoenix Blood Tree!"

Princess Dengfeng stared at Liu Ye for a long time. "I think I know your background now!"

She took two steps back and vanished into the night in an instant. "Li Weiyi, if I, the princess, am determined to kill you, he cannot protect you. I will spare your life."

"I'll spare your life too," Li Weiyi said.

Liu Ye's tense nerves relaxed slightly, and she let out a long breath. "Leave this place quickly, she might change her mind at any time and send Longevity Realm Giants to kill you."

The two fled hundreds of miles away and stopped on the bank of a wide, black river.

Despite his serious injuries, Li Weiyi sincerely thanked him, saying, "Thank you for your righteous help, Brother Liu."

Liu Ye stood facing the great river. "Li Weiyi, Hidden Person the Jiu Li Tribe, first appeared in Jiu Li City three years ago, with only the cultivation of the Spring Realm. The following year, during the Lantern Festival, he participated in the Qianlong Lantern Festival and helped Zuoqiu Hongting defeat Phoenix-born Unicorn-young."

"After that, he entered the Underground Immortal Mansion with Tang Wanzhou and disappeared for a year. When he reappeared, he was already a powerful expert in the Dao Seed Realm. His cultivation speed is truly fast."

"In the battle of Lingxiao City, you and the Jiu Li Hidden Gate played a pivotal role, demonstrating exceptional Outstanding Person and responsibility among the younger generation. Despite having your ancestral energy destroyed, you still displayed extraordinary psychic abilities."

"After we parted ways at the Departed Spirit Market, I specifically investigated you. You are even more outstanding than I imagined."

Li Weiyi became wary. "Brother Liu just happened to be there and offered his help; this doesn't seem like a simple matter."

"It's not that complicated."

Liu Ye gazed into the distance and saw a streak of ice-blue and a streak of crimson light moving swiftly through the darkness towards them. "You're badly injured. Quickly find a place to heal. The situation in Yuzhou is very complicated right now. Dao Palace's Huo Xin and Han Xin are coming after you. I'll draw them away for you."

"If you want to know why I saved you, come find me in three months at the East Sea Moon Dragon Island Sea Market, if you dare."

"Whoosh!"

Liu Ye waded across the wide, black river, her aura vanishing instantly as she merged completely with the darkness, demonstrating her extraordinary ability to conceal herself.

A smile appeared on Li Weiyi's face. He felt a strong curiosity about this young man surnamed Liu, and he also felt that the dangers and unexpected events on the path of cultivation were so exciting, filling him with infinite anticipation for the journey of life.

He turned around, carrying Yu'er on his back, and headed in another direction.
