Elder Aunt Purple-clothed Woman

Li Weiyi flew to the edge of the crack, looking up at the endless darkness above, where rubble continued to fall. He heard the sound of wind breaking and realized that Wu Hongling had caught up with him.

She has a pair of dazzling, ten-foot-long feathers on her back. These feathers are not formed from spiritual light or magical energy, but grow from within her body at an extremely fast speed.

The two did not fight; instead, they seized the time and flew upwards.

"Boom!"

The seawater poured down with tremendous force.

Li Weiyi immediately took out his Peach Wood Staff and urged it to grow roots that resembled vines and tentacles. These roots took hold on the cliff face at the edge of the crack, resisting the impact of the seawater, and he climbed upwards with difficulty and urgency.

The rock layers here are very hard; if we cannot escape before the cracks close, the consequences will be dire.

Wu Hongling wrapped her delicate body in colorful feathers and used a water escape technique. Surprisingly, she merged with the water and rapidly ascended upwards amidst the impact of the falling seawater.

"Her mastery of Daoist arts is truly extraordinary."

Li Weiyi's cultivation time was too short to compare with their decades of cultivation, so he couldn't envy them. Using the Peach Wood Staff, he steadily climbed upwards.

Before long, Li Weiyi saw Wu Hongling holding a Wu Hongling hanging above the turbulent water and cliff face.

She was no longer as swift as when she used her magic, and climbed with great difficulty, her face pale. She had to use all her magical energy to wrap around her body and deflect the impact of the water flowing above her head in order to climb upwards.

As she focused all her energy on mobilizing her magical energy, her internal injuries naturally worsened.

Seeing Li Weiyi catch up, Wu Hongling's heart sank, and she immediately mobilized the extraordinary power between her brows. If the other party took advantage of her vulnerability, she would perish together with him.

Li Weiyi didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble, so he quickly climbed past her.

Wu Hongling followed closely behind him, and immediately felt much more relaxed.

"Your behavior makes me feel very insecure," Li Weiyi said.

Wu Hongling said, "Attacking you at this time will do me no good. Li Weiyi, let's cooperate. You can't escape with your speed, and neither can I. If we could fight back, we wouldn't have fallen to the bottom."

"If you want to cooperate, let me plant the Death Spirit Fire," Li Weiyi said.

Wu Hongling said, "Impossible! Once we get out, you'll ignite the Death Spirit Fire, and I'll die a horrible death. What you're worried about is me taking revenge on you after we get out. I swear, all grudges will be wiped clean, and I will never reveal to anyone that Liu Fengshu is you."

Li Weiyi didn't believe her at all, slid down to her side, and drew a Six Desires Talisman in her palm.

Wu Hongling asked, "What is this?"

"I'll plant a rune here, and then we'll cooperate wholeheartedly," Li Weiyi said.

Wu Hongling became alert. "What runes?"

The Six Desires Demon is the Ancient Son of Heaven of the Lingxiao Shengjing Realm.

The Six Desires Talisman isn't that well-known outside of the area.

"Don't worry, you won't die!" Li Weiyi slapped her neck, and the runes sank in.

Wu Hongling's brow radiated a transcendent power, and ultimately, she neither perished together with Li Weiyi nor dodged. She realized the fissure in the earth was beginning to close, and time was of the essence.

It's just a spell cast by a Mind Master; Dao Palace has powerful sages who can help her dispel it.

How could a small-town healer know the immense power and abilities of the strong in this world?

Perhaps this can lull him into a false sense of security and make him pay with his life.

Next, Li Weiyi led the way, while Wu Hongling hid behind him to regulate her breathing. After regulating her breathing, she used Evasion Dao Technique to grab Li Weiyi's wrist and climb upwards a considerable distance.

And so the cycle repeats itself.

After climbing for an unknown amount of time, the fissure in the ground had become incredibly narrow. Li Weiyi activated his Provincial Governor's Official Robe, and finally, it reacted. His body was enveloped in Purple Mist Light Cluster, traversing space, and in the next instant, he appeared above the sea.

Outside, the sky is full of stars.

Starlight reflects in the distance on the sea.

With a gentle night breeze on his face, Li Weiyi felt cheerful. However, thinking of the potential threat, he immediately sensed the situation on the seabed to see if Wu Hongling had escaped.

Seawater hinders exploration, allowing only the surface layer to be perceived. Unlike in the air, where telekinesis can extend for tens of miles.

Li Weiyi closed his eyes, sensing the location of the Six Desires Talisman: "She actually escaped..."

"Splash!"

Wu Hongling emerged from the water ten miles away, using her movement technique to swiftly escape. "Li Weiyi, until we meet again!"

Li Weiyi activated his Provincial Governor's Official Robe, using continuous spatial leaps to quickly catch up with her. He stepped on the white mist dragon soul released from the robe and said, "Fairy, don't go! You've been afflicted by my Six Desires Talisman. I'm very worried about your safety."

"It's alright! I'll stop here. If I take you any further, I'll have to activate the power between my brows." Wu Hongling unfurled the colorful feathers on her back and flew into the sky.

Li Weiyi took out a two-meter-long Thousand Character Artifact Bow, drew back the bowstring, and locked onto her. "You'd better find out more. The Six Desires Talisman is not a good talisman; it's very difficult to dispel. Even if you ask your elders in the sect for help, it will severely damage your reputation and you'll have no hope of becoming a true disciple. A true disciple cannot have any stain on their record."

The Six Desires Talisman planted by the Great Mind Master require transcendence to resolve.

Given Li Weiyi's current mental strength, an ordinary Saint Spirit King Mind Master might not be able to easily dissolve the Six Desires Talisman within her. Whether Dao Palace has Saint Spirit King Mind Master of that level who has come to the East Sea is unknown.

Secondly, given Wu Hongling's talent and innate abilities, if she didn't harbor delusions about the true teachings, how could she possibly have come to the East Sea at such a crucial time in her attempt to break through to the Longevity Realm?

They're definitely pinning their hopes on the opportunity presented by the Ancient Immortal Dragon Skeleton.

"Boom!"

An arrow was shot.

The seawater beneath Li Weiyi's feet rippled in circles.

Wu Hongling unleashed a mirror-shaped magical artifact to defend herself, but was injured once again, bleeding from her mouth and nose, looking utterly miserable.

Li Weiyi pursued her relentlessly, maintaining a safe distance and occasionally firing a shot, hoping to wear her down.

The sound of a zither drifted from the sea.

"Whoosh!"

A piercing plucked string sound flew swiftly, transforming into a semi-transparent sonic blade that shattered the Seven-Clawed Heavenly Dragon Flame Arrow fired by Li Weiyi.

The sound of the zither came from a three-zhang-long Green Boat.

A Purple-clothed Woman robes and a veil sat in a boat, gracefully playing the zither. The zither rested on her lap, her white hair cascading down her back, and a red floral design painted between her brows. Her fingertips danced swiftly across the water.

She possessed a unique aura that made the sea surface within several miles of the Green Boat as smooth as a mirror, perfectly replicating the stars in the sky.

The slender Green Boat, with copper lamps hanging from its awning, seemed to float in the Starry Sky.

"Whoosh!"

Wu Hongling tucked the colorful feathers from her back and stumbled onto the Green Boat, her long hair disheveled and her Daoist robe stained with blood, almost falling over.

"So badly injured?" The Purple-clothed Woman looked eight or nine parts like her, but her eyes were deep and calm, giving people a sense of profound wisdom and composure in the face of life and death.

"Give me a hand! I will unleash that wisp of transcendent power from the spirit realm to kill him, tear him to pieces, and slice him into a thousand pieces."

Wu Hongling was so angry with Li Weiyi that her liver ached. He first ambushed her and severely injured her, then stole Hong Ling and planted an unknown curse on her. After that, he shot arrow after arrow at her.

They can only passively take hits and have no way to retaliate.

The sense of humiliation was like being stripped naked, assaulted, and then having a picture drawn on you.

Li Weiyi chased after the Green Boat for three miles with his bow, only to find that the ripples on the sea beneath his feet had disappeared, leaving an eerie smooth surface. He immediately stopped, staring at the small boat with its bronze lamps lit, and sensed that the music was growing increasingly somber.

Wu Hongling stood at the bow of the ship, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, deliberately provoking her. "Brother Weiyi, why don't you dare to come forward? You're so powerful, are you scared?"

Li Weiyi's gaze fell on the Purple-clothed Woman, and guessing her identity, he laughed loudly, "Stop being naughty! With my Elder Aunt here, neither of us can relax. Farewell!"

"Your Excellency is capable of injuring Hong Ling, so you must be quite powerful. Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Listen to my song, 'Persuade You To Stay,' as the setting sun bids you farewell, yet I insist on Persuade You To Stay."

The Purple-clothed Woman plucked the strings with her fingertips, and the sea surface boiled.

The fiery sunset clouds appeared out of nowhere. Immediately afterwards, a bright red sun rose from the water in front of Li Weiyi, as huge as a mountain, releasing dazzling light and heat.

Amidst the melodious sound of the piano.

The area within a three-mile radius underwent a dramatic transformation, changing from midnight to dusk.

It was a pre-arranged formation, extremely powerful.

When Li Weiyi entered that sea area, he sensed the fluctuations of the formation, which is why he immediately stopped and decisively retreated.

"Boom!"

As the setting sun flew in, it seemed to press down on the sea, making it appear to sink.

Li Weiyi dared not underestimate it. He activated the Purple Sky Lei Seal and used the power of the Myriad-character Artifact to shatter the flying sunset. Dozens of purple lightning dragons surged out in the opposite direction, stirring up layers of giant waves that spread towards the Green Boat three miles away.

A strange light flashed in the Purple-clothed Woman's eyes as she pressed down on the strings with all ten fingers.

Instantly, ten layers of Defensive Formation Light Veil rose from the center of the Green Boat, blocking the surging lightning.

"Hong Ling's defeat was not unjust. I never expected that there would be a young powerhouse like you below the Lingxiao Shengjing and the Longevity Realm," said the Purple-clothed Woman.

"My Elder Aunt's piano playing was extremely melodious, but despite her youthful vigor, it felt a bit too mature."

Li Weiyi spoke as he retreated into the distance.

Behind him, Zuoqiu Hongting, in Li Weiyi's appearance, gracefully descended from the night sky, wielding the Staff Spear of All Things, and landed on the sea.

"Hurry up and leave, Sheng Wulian and Zhen Xin are also in the nearby waters."

Li Weiyi and Zuoqiu Hongting activated their Provincial Governor's Official Robe and teleported away.

Far from that sea area, they arrived at a deserted island three hundred miles away. Before Li Weiyi could ask why she was nearby, Zuoqiu Hongting asked first, "Who did you just call 'Elder Aunt'?"

Li Weiyi said, "It was just a joke! Actually, I don't even know their real names."

"The white- Purple-clothed Woman in purple and the woman with colorful feathers Wu Hongling. These two are the Proud Daughter of Heaven, nurtured by the blood of the ancient immortal phoenix from the Shenyi Mountain Dao Palace. They are the two strongest among the true disciples. Their martial arts cultivation is about the same, but the woman in Purple-clothed Woman is outstanding in mental power, talent, and array formations, so she is slightly stronger," said Zuoqiu Hongting.

Li Weiyi asked curiously, "Why are you all nearby?"

"You, Wu Hongling, and Qiong Ji Daozi have disappeared in this sea area, which has already alarmed the Dao Palace, Jiu Li Tribe, and Zuoqiu Courtyard. Many martial artists are searching for you. What exactly happened?" Zuoqiu Hongting asked.

Li Weiyi said, "It's a long story, I need to see some important people from above."

"Wait a little longer," Zuoqiu Hongting said.

After a while, Tang Zhan, Zhu Seventy-two Heavens, and other top experts below the Lingxiao Shengjing Longevity Realm who had been searching and fighting in this sea area returned to the deserted island one after another.

On the Green Boat.

The Purple-clothed Woman was slightly surprised. "Is Liu Fengshu the Jiu Li Hidden Person?"

"Absolutely true," Wu Hongling said.

The Purple-clothed Woman said, "Even if you said that, probably no one would believe you. First, Li Weiyi would not have made an enemy of the Jiu Li Tribe because of Kudi. Second, Li Weiyi would not have risked his life to board the Daojiao ship for Kudi. Third, Li Weiyi has been fighting with us these past few days."

"However, even if the rest of the world doesn't believe you, I will."

"How could you suffer such a crushing defeat? Based on the information I have, his cultivation is far from reaching the peak of the Dao Seed Realm. In addition, his ancestral field was shattered, so he can only cultivate the Wind Mansion, which greatly reduces his combat strength at the same level."

Wu Hongling didn't want to discuss this matter and asked, "Sister, have you ever heard of the Six Desires Talisman?"

The Purple-clothed Woman's expression hardened, her eyes seeming to possess the ability to see through all the truths of the world. She reached two fingers towards her neck, and instantly, a rune mark appeared.

Her expression changed drastically. "This matter must not be known to those above. I will find a way to resolve it; otherwise, you and I will lose each other forever..."

The Purple-clothed Woman sensed something and stopped speaking.

A distant voice drifted across the sea on the wind. "What are you trying to hide?"

The Purple-clothed Woman and Wu Hongling exchanged a glance, then simultaneously knelt on one knee. "Greetings, Sheng True Disciple."
