Li Weiyi and Yao Yin Assassinated

Another two weeks have passed.

Finally, some movement came from outside the room.

Li Weiyi immediately exited the Blood Mud Space, opened the wooden door, and stood outside, wearing a Yao Qingxuan.

She exclaimed, "Something's happened!"

The blinding sunlight streamed through the door, making Li Weiyi squint. Her body felt warm, accompanied by a sea breeze.

Li Weiyi knew that Yao Qingxuan wouldn't disturb his seclusion unless something major had happened, so he immediately became nervous. "What's wrong? What happened?"

"This morning, Li Weiyi and Yao Yin were sightseeing in the mirage when they were assassinated," Yao Qingxuan said.

"Who? Li Weiyi?"

Li Weiyi was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what was going on.

Yao Yin must be protected by powerful figures from the Jiu Li Tribe and the Du'e Temple; ordinary Disguise Art cannot fool them.

It's highly likely that his Fiancée is behind it all.

Li Weiyi frowned. "Was that fake Li Weiyi injured?"

"Why are you worried about him? Aren't you worried that Yao Yin will be deceived?" Recently, Yao Qingxuan has been very different from before, and there is a clear change in his emotions.

Unlike before, when the sky collapsed before us, there was no reaction, only calm and indifference.

Clearly, when you have people and things you care about, you'll be drawn back into the mundane world, making it difficult to remain detached.

Li Weiyi said, "The fake Li Weiyi should be Zuoqiu Hongting."

"At first, Hidden Lord thought so too. But after the assassination attempt, the fake Li Weiyi displayed extraordinary Psychic Power Attainment, and his spiritual light was also of the fire attribute, allowing him to capture the assassin instead."

Yao Qingxuan continued, "Therefore, the Hidden Lord sent Hidden Eleven to deliver a message, wanting to confirm whether you had emerged from seclusion ahead of schedule."

Li Weiyi knew that Zuoqiu Hongting definitely possessed the ability to cultivate mental power.

After all, her ancient lamp was stored in the Glabella Spiritual Realm.

However, she had never displayed any mental power, not even during the most critical moment of the Qianlong Lantern Festival. For a moment, Li Weiyi also began to have doubts, and a hidden worry arose in his heart.

There are countless profound laws and methods in the world. It is not surprising that some highly skilled individuals are also proficient in the Disguise Art.

If someone were to disguise themselves as him and swindle money and sexually assault him, wouldn't that be outrageous?

Li Weiyi quickly asked, "Where are they now? Who is the assassin?"

"After being captured, the assassin summoned the Death Spirit Fire within his body and died; he was a suicide assassin." Yao Qingxuan led Li Weiyi to the front yard and looked at Hidden Eleven standing under the shade of a tree. "Ask him for details!"

Hidden Eleven looked over, sizing up Li Weiyi, and rubbed his eyes. "I'm not seeing things, am I? Hidden Person, didn't you go to the Commander's Feast with Yao Yin?"

"Commander's Feast?"

A Departed Spirit Soul Beast carriage departed from the Hidden Gate stronghold.

Hidden Eleven sat outside the carriage, holding the Soul Whip, and drove towards the Horizon Ship, which was moored by the sea near Xue Jian Tang Ting.

Li Weiyi sat in the car, transforming his appearance and donning a black martial arts robe. He listened as Hidden Eleven recounted how the fake Li Weiyi appeared and the moves he used.

Yu'er was also sitting in the car; Li Weiyi had promised not to abandon her again.

"He knows you very well. He knows your tone of voice, your eyes, your habits, and even your past very well. What's even more unbelievable is that he is also proficient in Immobilization Talisman, and the Psychic Power Spiritual Light he cultivates is very similar to yours," Hidden Eleven said.

Li Weiyi looked confused; it seemed like someone she knew had committed the crime!

If the fake Li Weiyi truly knew him that well, then there would be no flaws in his story, and Tang Wanzhou would probably be fooled even if he went to the Commander's Feast.

Li Weiyi said, "Let's go to Zuoqiu Courtyard first."

Within the Time Cocoon, a month and a half of cultivation equates to seven or eight days in the outside world.

In the courtyard where martial arts practitioners of Zuoqiu Courtyard gathered, Hidden Eleven contacted Qi Xiao and brought him to Li Weiyi's car.

Qi Xiao wasn't too surprised and asked, "I've heard about the assassination attempt earlier. Which side was so blind as to attack you?"

He clearly didn't know that the person assassinated was a fake Li Weiyi.

Unable to answer his question, Li Weiyi asked, "Where is Zuoqiu Hongting?"

Qi Xiao laughed and said, "Lady Hongting has always been elusive, like a dragon whose tail is never seen. Longevity Realm Giants find it difficult to locate her, just like you."

"I heard that today, the young lord of Xue Jian Tang Ting held Commander's Feast, gathering the strongest figures from all the major forces in Lingxiao Shengjing to discuss and plan strategies for seizing the opportunities during the excavation of the Ancient Immortal Dragon Skeleton. Is Zuoqiu Courtyard not going to participate?" Li Weiyi asked.

Qi Xiao said meaningfully, "It's not that I don't want to participate, it's that I can't participate."

"What do you mean?" Li Weiyi asked curiously.

Qi Xiao smiled bitterly, "After the Battle of Lingxiao City, the whereabouts of the Mist Son of Heaven are unknown. The older generation is pessimistic, believing that Fei Feng and Devil Lord Yu Baxian will not give her a way out. Now it seems that the one from the Dao Palace will also try to kill her."

"Besides these visible enemies, there are many invisible enemies that will not give the Mist Son of Heaven a chance to return. According to the chosen ones from the Du'e Temple, the entire Southern Yingzhou has been shaken."

"Secondly, it is said that the reason why the Mist Son of Heaven was able to display his divine power and slaughter everyone was because he obtained two of the Great Palace Master's Other Shore Heavenly Pill. The Great Palace Master may have already perished more than ten years ago."

"Therefore, the current Lingxiao Shengjing is essentially a battle between the Xue Jian Tang Ting and the Zuoqiu Courtyard for the Lord of Life Realm."

"The Xue Jian Tang Ting is now acting as the supreme ruler of the world, issuing invitations to heroes and holding Commander's Feast. The fact that the Zuoqiu Courtyard isn't causing trouble shows that they are prioritizing the overall situation."

Qi Xiao said in a low voice, "Du'e Temple has been supporting Zuoqiu Courtyard, investing a lot of resources and manpower. Now, Zuoqiu Courtyard wants to submit to Xue Jian Tang Ting, and Du'e Temple will be the first to jump out and oppose it. Can you spit out what you've already swallowed?"

"Right now, the best outcome is to maintain a standoff between the North and South, avoid conflict and internal strife, and wait patiently for news from the Mist Son of Heaven."

Li Weiyi said, "Du'e Temple probably won't allow such a thing to happen. Since we've invested, we must get a return, and it must be successful. Otherwise, it will damage Du'e Temple's influence in Southern Yingzhou."

"Who can argue with that? In this competition for opportunity, the martial artists of the Zuoqiu Courtyard Sect, including the Jiu Li Tribe, can travel with the Du'e Temple, so there's no need to worry. Let Xue Jian Tang Ting handle it; we'll just stay out of it."

Qi Xiao's gaze fell on Yu'er beside him, and he smiled, "This child is so beautiful, like a porcelain doll, so adorable! Tell Uncle Qi, what's her name?"

"Yu'er."

Yu'er was dressed in a boy's blue cloth robe, with a headscarf tied around her neck. She had bright eyes and white teeth, and her gaze was intelligent. She sat leaning against Li Weiyi.

Qi Xiao pulled out a Spring Coin: "Call me Uncle Qi, and all of these are yours. You can buy lots of delicious food with them."

Li Weiyi was startled and immediately kicked Qi Xiao out of the car. "Get out, get out now! Don't let anyone know that I'm coming to Hai City on Moon Dragon Island. If you have any news about Zuoqiu Hongting, notify me immediately."

"Boom!"

The vehicle drove off.

Qi Xiao stood frozen by the roadside, feeling utterly bewildered.

He just wanted to give the little girl a small gift as a token of their friendship; what did he do to deserve this?

Little did he know that, in Li Weiyi's eyes, he was saving him.

Li Weiyi cautioned, "Yu'er, remember, never let strangers cheat you out of money! You're still young, and it's hard for you to tell good people from bad people."

Yu'er nodded vigorously. "That guy just now, was he a bad guy?"

"Not really, he's a nice person," Li Weiyi said.

Yu'er's little face was full of confusion. "Then why doesn't Master let Yu'er call him Uncle Qi?"

"Never mention Uncle Qi's name again! If you call him 'Little Qi,' he'll be excited for days," Li Weiyi said.

The Horizon Ship was leased by Xue Jian Tang Ting from the East Sea Camp and was personally supervised by Huo Di, the Duke of East Sea, during his lifetime. It was intended to be used to attack the Three Island Barbarians and completely eliminate the maritime threat.

It was extremely majestic, a colossal vessel moored in the deep waters of the sea, several miles from the shore. Its deck was thirty feet above sea level, Ship Tower was layered upon layered, resembling a tower from afar and a mountain up close.

This class of warship can carry 10,000 people. In the past thousand years, the Donghai Camp has only built eight such ships. They can sail in the deep sea and are not afraid of wind, waves and monsters.

This also reveals the close relationship between the current Imperial Court factions and the Xue Jian Tang Ting.

Li Weiyi took out a smiling Buddha mask, put it on Yu'er, and instructed Hidden Eleven to stop the car and wait on the shore. Then, two figures, one tall and one short, stepped onto the sea and sailed away.

Countless ships of all sizes were moored around the Horizon Ship. In addition to the major forces of the Seven Prefectures of the Southern Territory, all the Dao Seed Realm experts of the Lingxiao Shengjing had rushed over.

Such a grand event is a once-in-a-century occurrence, and many veteran figures who have been famous for a century are present.

"Liang Zheng, the top general of Liangzhou in the Eastern Territory, along with twenty-seven heroes of the Liang Family, have come to the banquet to await the young lord's orders."

"Zhu Seventy-two Heavens, the number one expert below the Longevity Realm in the Western Territory, has come to the banquet to await the young lord's command."

"The Seventy-Second Heavenly Elder is still alive! He must be almost 140 years old, right?"

"The average lifespan of Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivator is two Jiazi, or 120 years old. This doesn't mean that living to 120 years old necessarily means death. The senior at the 72nd Heaven Realm took a life-extending elixir, which added 30 years to his lifespan."

The man from the wealthy family, who was detached from worldly affairs, always felt that his bloodline was extraordinary and that whenever he was interested, he would have offspring to travel the world.

Zhu Yibai was his hundredth son.

Zhu Seventy-two Heavens was his seventy-second son.

Zhu Seventy-two Heavens. In his youth, he was extremely powerful and was invincible among his peers. However, after reaching the Ninth Heaven, he could not break through to the next level no matter what he tried, and even taking the Longevity Pill ended in failure.

His arrival naturally caused a sensation.

Even if the blood energy has declined, the strength of a Ninth Heaven inheritor who has been stuck for nearly a hundred years is still extraordinary.

"Lei Wu, the top disciple of the Lei Xiao Sect, Lu Cangsheng, the number one talent of the New Generation, and the Great Elder have come to pay their respects."

"The foremost official of You Prefecture, your Chen Shidao..."

"The top scholar of Shu Zhou..."

Li Weiyi, holding Yu'er's hand, leaped onto the ship and landed lightly on the deck. He took out the token that Tang Wanzhou had given him earlier and handed it to Tuoba Butuo, who was receiving guests from all sides.

Tuoba Butuo was startled when he saw that it was Shaojun's token.

Li Weiyi put away the token and transmitted her voice, "It's me! Where is the fake Li Weiyi?"
