Startling Change

Li Weiyi's initiative to visit him put him at a disadvantage from the start, and he was already mentally prepared for this.

He said, "In last night's duel, out of the nine flags at sea, Your Highness only managed to grab one, while Bai Yeqing and Prince Mingjiao secured three. Therefore, I urge Your Highness not to make unreasonable demands."

Li Weiyi's words were to let Princess Dengfeng know that he understood her situation.

Princess Dengfeng's face darkened. "Although your strength is not weak, you are far from being qualified to comment on this matter."

"Whoosh!"

The Turtle Scholar tossed a pebble, seemingly without using any force.

But as the pebble fell, Li Weiyi's mental energy field shattered instantly, like a mirror.

He asked with a smile, "What does the Hidden Person think of such power?"

"Lifting heavy objects with ease, seemingly slow yet actually fast, concealing skill within clumsiness. This Major Technique has reached the fourth level, and few below the Longevity Realm can withstand it. Even cultivators stronger than you might underestimate its power and be severely injured in one blow," Li Weiyi said.

"This move is called 'The Common Technique is Too Clumsy'."

The Turtle Scholar said, "With my strength, I could only watch last night. As for the Dao Palace Zhen Xin... he didn't even have the qualifications to watch last night."

Li Weiyi really wanted to take out the Hong Ling, but she held back, wanting to hear Princess Dengfeng's terms first.

Princess Dengfeng thought Li Weiyi had been intimidated, "My first condition is that Fu Wenyan's life belongs to you, and the treasures he possesses, such as the <Book of Earth> and the Provincial Governor's Official Robe, belong to me."

Li Weiyi remained noncommittal, then asked, "What's the second condition?"

Princess Dengfeng said, "You and Liu Fengshu are quite close, aren't you? I want to see him; that's my second condition."

"See him?" Li Weiyi asked in surprise.

Princess Dengfeng said, "The four from the Saints Learning Sea, plus Fu Wenyan, are all extraordinary. Your strength alone is not enough to qualify you to cooperate with me. With him, it's barely enough. If we add the mysterious man who saved you in Old Yuzhou, I might even make a slight concession."

"No need to rush to answer. Think it over carefully. I'll be waiting for your news for the next three days."

She was referring to Liu Ye.

Li Weiyi and Yao Yin walked out of the manor and along the riverside path.

This great river flows straight to the East China Sea, wide and calm.

Yao Yin hadn't heard the conversation between Li Weiyi and Princess Dengfeng, only knowing that he had gone to discuss cooperation, and that it seemed to have gone poorly. She comforted him, saying, "The demons below the Longevity Realm in the East Demon Race are countless, like an army. Princess Dengfeng's assertiveness is understandable. But with the Du'e Temple behind us, there's no need for us to compromise."

"Stop worrying about things unnecessarily, just focus on your cultivation. Oh, and by the way, help me buy a batch of Extreme Day True Pill, the price is negotiable," Li Weiyi said.

Yao Yin nodded quickly. "Leave this to me. From now on, any cultivation resources the Hidden Person need can come to me. With my status, I can buy them from within the temple at much lower prices. Besides, many of these pills aren't sold outside at all..."

"Careful!"

Li Weiyi sensed danger and slapped his waist with his hand.

"Swish."

The Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors immediately flew out of the Insect Pouch and protected Yao Yin in the center.

The next instant, an Intent Attack, seemingly from nowhere, launched a sneak attack straight at Li Weiyi's consciousness and soul.

The scene before Li Weiyi's eyes changed drastically. He felt as if he had fallen into a frozen world, surrounded by snow falling from the sky and ten feet of ice on the ground, his skin so frozen that it was about to crack.

The five senses are disordered, and consciousness is interfered with.

Li Weiyi guarded her spiritual wisdom, knew what had happened, and was not deceived by the scene before her.

"Boom!"

The Fusang Divine Tree Projection and the external manifestation of the Seven-clawed Fiery Heavenly Dragon Dao Heart Manifestation erupted outwards, melting the ice and snow before them and shattering the opponent's Battle Intent, just like igniting a painting.

Li Weiyi's vision returned to normal; he stood by the river under the blazing sun.

Within the Wind Palace, the Purple Sky Lei Seal flew out, spinning upwards, rapidly expanding to the size of a house, and crashing towards a certain point in the void.

"Boom!"

The sound of thunder echoed throughout the Moon Dragon Island market.

A dense mass of lightning, resembling a giant purple lightning umbrella, spread out above Li Weiyi and Yao Yin's heads, striking a humanoid figure that had been stealthily lunging at them.

That figure was extremely powerful. With a single palm strike, he directly clashed with the Purple Sky Lei Seal and dozens of lightning dragons, his body becoming semi-transparent.

As Li Weiyi was Intent Attack, a huge dragon claw formed from Yao Qi reached out towards Yao Yin from the nearby river with a splash, but was blocked by the Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors.

Yao Yin acted decisively, immediately crushing the Protective Talisman given to her by Li Weiyi.

The Talisman Light spread out, enveloping the two of them.

After Li Weiyi unleashed the Purple Sky Lei Seal, his fighting spirit and killing intent instantly reached their peak. He struck out with both palms, and two swastika marks released brilliant golden light, striking the green shadow in the water.

"Boom! Boom!"

Half of its body emerged from the water, its scales as large as palm fans and seemingly cast from green jade. It was a three-eyed dragon. Not yet fully transformed into a dragon, it had a huge head, ferocious fangs, and a powerful aura.

Its third eye, as big as a bucket mouth, was covered with scriptures and emitted a beam of blue light that struck one of the swastika marks.

It then spat out a blue-black Wind Thunder Banner, blocking another swastika mark.

This demon has keen senses and knows that these two marks are dangerous; it must never touch them.

"Walk!"

The mysterious figure in the Invisibility Cloak retreated with lightning speed, vanishing without a trace in an instant.

The Three-eyed Flood Dragon sank into the water and used its water escape technique to rush along the river towards the East Sea. The river dried up briefly because of its escape technique.

Li Weiyi was worried about Yao Yin's safety and did not pursue them, already knowing who the attacker was.

A moment later, all the martial artists of the Jiu Li Tribe and the Jiu Li Hidden Gate who were at or above the Seventh Heaven of the Dao Seed Realm, including several clan leaders and priests, rained down on Li Weiyi and Yao Yin from all directions.

Dozens of ritual implements rose into the air, and the scriptures released from them resembled Sea of Characters or a sky full of stars.

One mile away, inside the manor.

Princess Dengfeng, Turtle Scholar, Prince Baba, and Water Ferret Immortal were all gazing towards the direction where Li Weiyi and Yao Yin had been attacked.

The Turtle Scholar was shaken. "He actually single-handedly blocked two attackers. The Three-eyed Flood Dragon is the second strongest under the Prince Mingjiao, and the Invisible One seems to be even more formidable."

Princess Dengfeng, incredulous, murmured, "It's Bai Yeqing."

Bai Yeqing and the Three-eyed Flood Dragon were clearly aiming to capture Yao Yin alive, hence their restraint.

But to withstand the first round of their sudden attack was already quite remarkable.

Princess Dengfeng saw it clearly: Bai Yeqing launched Intent Attack first, intending to take down Li Weiyi directly. The one who captured Yao Yin was the Three-eyed Flood Dragon hiding in the water.

This was supposed to be foolproof!

Unfortunately, Li Weiyi sensed it in advance and released Seven Mysterious Insects to protect Yao Yin. Moreover, instead of being defeated by Bai Yeqing, they quickly broke through his Intent Attack, forcing Bai Yeqing to show himself and take action personally.

Even though Bai Yeqing personally took action, it was still neutralized by Li Weiyi's Purple Sky Lei Seal.

Ultimately, facing numerous experts from the Jiu Li Tribe and the Jiu Li Hidden Gate, Bai Yeqing and the Three-eyed Flood Dragon's plan failed, forcing them to retreat immediately.

In the blink of an eye, Li Weiyi's reaction speed, coping strategies, and combat power left Princess Dengfeng and the Turtle Scholar, who witnessed the entire event, in awe.

If they were in Li Weiyi's position, they don't think they could have withstood such a surprise attack.

Before any of the factions could figure out what had happened, the battle was over. They had no idea what a feat Li Weiyi had accomplished.

The Water Ferret Immortal's eyes widened. "That one in the Invisibility Cloak, is that Bai Yeqing? Impossible, how could he be repelled by Li Weiyi?"

Princess Dengfeng said, "He didn't expect Li Weiyi to react so quickly. He wanted to catch Li Weiyi off guard, but he was caught off guard by the Purple Sky Lei Seal instead and almost suffered a loss. In terms of cultivation and strength, he is definitely above Li Weiyi."

Prince Baba said, "He withstood the Myriad-character Artifact head-on, yet was only repelled. His cultivation is indeed terrifying, and his physical strength is extremely high."

"Bai Yeqing has done us a great favor; we really should thank him properly," the Turtle Scholar said with a smile.

Water Ferret Immortal, "What? You've helped us a lot?"

The Turtle Scholar said, "This first big favor helped us test Li Weiyi's true strength, so we won't be ambushed by him in our future cooperation."

"The second major favor was undoubtedly putting Li Weiyi, the Jiu Li Tribe, and the Du'e Temple on the opposite side of the Prince Mingjiao."

By the river, Li Weiyi retrieved the Purple Sky Lei Seal and the Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors.

The three tribal chiefs of the Jiu Li Tribe, as well as four of the nine high priests of the Jiu Li Divine Hall, all stepped forward to inquire about Li Weiyi's situation.

When they arrived, Bai Yeqing and the Three-eyed Flood Dragon had already retreated, and they didn't know who the enemy was.

"He's the second strongest under the Prince Mingjiao, the Three-eyed Flood Dragon. The Wind Thunder Banner is a valuable treasure. The other person... is wearing Invisibility Cloak; his origins are unknown."

Li Weiyi had a guess in her heart, but saying it aloud would only upset Yao Yin and would have no other purpose.

The Jiu Li Tribe experts present were all shocked.

Clearly, they had heard of the Three-eyed Flood Dragon's fearsome reputation and knew what level of being it was.

"During the battle in the Southeast Nether Realm, I personally witnessed the Three-eyed Flood Dragon devour an entire army; its battle formation was unstoppable," a Nine-Star Mind Master said with great apprehension.

The chieftain of the Chili Tribe said with lingering fear, "No wonder there was such a loud wind and thunder just now. I thought it was Longevity Realm Giants making a move. You two hurry back to the ship, it's too dangerous!"

Li Weiyi's pupils contracted as he sensed something, and he suddenly looked towards the distant, azure sea.

In the sea market of Moon Dragon Island, many powerful individuals with keen senses also noticed the unusual fluctuations in energy.

A moment later, the Heaven and Earth Mana Qi began to boil and surge, causing the entire Moon Dragon Island to shake violently, with a buzzing sound emanating from the ground. Rays of light appeared in the sky, and the whole world flickered between light and darkness.

Huge waves crashed on the sea, and ships collided.

Many boats were washed ashore by the waves.

"Splash! Splash..."

The Longevity Realm Giants of various factions transformed into beams of light, soaring into the sky and gazing into the distance from the clouds.

At the horizon, the sky was dyed gold by an unknown energy, and the faint roar of Dragon Roar could be heard.

The earthquakes continued.

"Everyone must remain on Moon Dragon Island and is not allowed to leave."

"Please activate the island-protecting formation, Flower Fairy Clan."

Some powerful cultivators at the Longevity Realm Giants flew towards the direction from which the golden light emanated.

The entire Moon Dragon Island market was in chaos, with people filled with fear and terrified by the celestial phenomenon and the terrifying aura.

Li Weiyi seemed to be deep in thought, guessing that it was the commotion caused by the Dao Palace and Lingxiao human race's transcendence in entering the underground of the sea, and his mood immediately became uneasy.

Moon Dragon Island is only two or three thousand miles away. If we were to offend someone and cause trouble, the consequences would be unimaginable.

He and Yao Yin followed the elders of the Jiu Li Tribe, quickly moving away from the seaside.
