Sowing Discord

The Sheng Wulian left many martial arts practitioners who were following the battle deeply shocked and speechless for a long time.

That was a revered and Ancient Sect True Disciple, radiant and majestic, with profound Daoist arts and deep magical power. He possessed dozens of Son of Heaven Bone within his body, almost destined to become a transcendent being in the future. Yet, he was utterly defeated by a young man in the Lingxiao Shengjing who was half-crippled in martial arts.

For the young martial artists of the Dao Palace and the Inamiya sect, there was an even greater sense of morale collapse due to the severe damage in their training.

When the leader is disgraced, everyone is disgraced.

"Can all cultivators in the Feng Mansion be this powerful?"

The camp of the Du'e Temple was located on a magical artifact ship, which was anchored in the wilderness. On the ship, a young master of the Chief-level was incredulous.

"That's because you didn't witness his power at the Five Seas Realm. It's a pity that he exposed this heaven-defying talent too early in order to help the Zuoqiu Courtyard win the Qianlong Lantern Festival, which brought about his death. In the end, his ancestral field was destroyed. Although it was later repaired, he could no longer cultivate the Dao."

The speaker was a beautiful woman in a Daoist robe.

She was one of the twelve Patrolling Immortal Envoy at the Qianlong Lantern Festival, responsible for tracking Li Weiyi and recording his achievements. At that time, Li Weiyi, who was still in the Five Seas Realm, left a deep impression on her, and she was very moved.

Chang Yujian, with her graceful figure, drew her sword, preparing to participate in the competition for the Longevity Flower: "Fortune or misfortune, who can say for sure? Though there is regret, this person's talent in mental power is extraordinary, and his future achievements will not be low. Having suffered such a humiliating defeat today, Sheng Wulian and integrity are gone, and he will likely not be able to become a true successor!"

The position of a true disciple of the Dao Seed Realm is inherently unstable.

The true lineage can be lost, but to lose it in this manner is unacceptable to the Dao Palace leadership.

Beneath the calm face of the Great Elder of Lei Xiao Sect lay a turbulent undercurrent. The figure of the young man on the plain was like a dazzling star, causing even this Longevity Realm Martial Cultivator to feel apprehensive and hesitant.

"Fortunately... perhaps the disadvantages of Fengfu's cultivation method can stop his momentum. Perhaps..." Many martial artists, including the Great Elder of Lei Xiao Sect, no longer believed that Li Weiyi would not be able to pass the Longevity Gate.

Lu Cangsheng held his breath for a long time, having the same thought: he hoped that Li Weiyi would be stopped by the Longevity Realm. Because he no longer had the confidence to catch up. Although he had never fought Li Weiyi before, he felt as if he had been defeated many times and had lost all his spirit.

Before everyone could recover from the shock of Sheng Wulian defeat, they were stunned by Li Weiyi's next actions and words.

Will you give the painting and the Dao, which symbolize Sheng Wulian, to Wu Hongling?

Anyone with eyes can see that he's trying to sow discord and use someone else to do his dirty work.

Some of the older generation of powerful figures scoffed, believing that Li Weiyi was being clever for his own good and courting death.

The woman in purple robes beneath the golden Imperial Umbrella was no ordinary person; she was ruthless and cunning. Trying to scheme against her would only backfire.

Old Qin, the Ancient Hidden Lord, and many other Longevity Realm Giants of the Lingxiao Shengjing Human Race all changed their expressions, realizing that Li Weiyi had miscalculated this time! Openly sowing discord among the Dao Palace disciples would only bring about his own demise.

"Still too young and lacking experience."

Old Qin sighed and went after Li Weiyi, intending to help him escape if necessary.

They went up together with the Ancient Hidden Lord.

Hidden Lord turned and rushed into the tent, appearing beside the stone coffin.

They were experienced and understood the mindset of the Great Longevity. They all sensed that a storm was brewing, and that the woman in purple robes in the Dao Palace would seize this opportunity to cause trouble, because they already had a reason to do so.

Compared to the older generation's fear and trepidation, Li Weiyi seemed completely oblivious. He collected the Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors into his Insect Pouch and, having already reached within ten miles of the golden Imperial Umbrella, continued forward, saying, "Hong Ling Sheng Wulian; he's brave but lacks strategy, unlike you who are both brave and resourceful."

Standing beside the Imperial Umbrella, Wu Hongling was dignified and beautiful. A Wu Hongling ribbon outlined her slender waist, and beneath her quiet and sweet demeanor, her fingernails seemed to dig into her palms. She only regretted that she had committed too many sins in her past life, which led her to mistakenly come to the East Sea and meet the thief Li in this life.

She also regretted that the Yujia Abyss was too dangerous, otherwise she would have jumped in immediately.

It's full of traps, traps everywhere.

She felt like Li Weiyi was going to ruin her. How could she possibly take the "Life North Sea Map" in front of everyone? Li Weiyi was trying to cripple Sheng Wulian and then shift the blame onto her.

Wu Hongling quickly bowed to the woman in purple and explained, "Martial Aunt, this person and I..."

"Hong Ling and he are only allies; they are not that close."

The Purple-clothed Woman also bowed and spoke first to the woman in purple.

Wu Hongling looked at the woman in Purple-clothed Woman with her bright, watery phoenix eyes, not understanding why her sister would say such a thing. Wasn't she falling into Li Weiyi's trap?

But her older sister was always deep and meticulous, so she didn't refute her.

The Purple-clothed Woman was worried that if Wu Hongling didn't accept the challenge, Li Weiyi would reveal the truth about the "Six Desires Talisman," which would be very disadvantageous for them.

Secondly, Sheng Wulian suffered a crushing defeat and has almost lost his position as the true successor.

As Li Weiyi said, to truly inherit the mantle, one must be decisive enough, able to endure, but must show courage at crucial moments. Otherwise, it's best not to even think about that position, and to accept defeat and fate.

Third, the "Life North Sea Map" and the "Death South Mountain Scripture" can indeed further enhance their talents. If they also obtain the Longevity Flower and cultivate the Longevity Body, they will have a great chance of inheriting the true teachings.

The fourth point is the most crucial. Given what has happened today, if Wu Hongling Sheng Wulian Life North Sea Map.

The rewards are too tempting, but the cost is not high.

The Purple-clothed Woman instantly calculated the pros and cons.

The woman in purple robes spoke up, "An alliance? What alliance? Hong Ling, what are you trying to do?"

Wu Hongling couldn't see the purple-clad woman's expression or discern the emotions in her tone, but the Purple-clothed Woman gave her an affirming look.

So, Wu Hongling said, "Martial Aunt, Hong Ling is not reconciled! Sheng Wulian and Si Wuyan refine the Son of Heaven Bone, they won't be much better than us sisters."

The woman in purple robes said, "You're lacking, that's it! Without the combat strength of Young Son of Heaven, you're destined not to become true disciples. There's no use in being unwilling."

Wu Hongling smiled bitterly.

The Purple-clothed Woman understood the implied meaning and boldly said, "The Young Son of Heaven isn't born, he's earned it through countless battles. As long as we absorb the <Life North Sea Map> and the <Death South Mountain Scripture>, and cultivate the <Hun Yuan Sheng Si Qi and Death>, our Battle Power within the same realm will surely surpass that of those Sheng Wulian' and 'Si Wuyan.' In the rice paddies, whoever absorbs the nutrients will grow the best."

After a long silence, the woman in purple robes said, "You dare to say it out loud, it seems you are truly unwilling to accept this, and you have truly made up your minds."

"If I had been more unwilling to accept the previous generation's succession dispute, perhaps that position would have been mine. Shenyi Mountain has already suffered one regret. Since you two dare to accept this challenge, how can I not grant your wish?"

"Once you get your hands on the <Life North Sea Map>, there's no turning back."

The woman in purple robes, Yu Zhenyan, was even more talented than Wu Hongling and the Purple-clothed Woman purple robes in her youth, Young Son of Heaven in the Dao Seed Realm. However, because she failed to secure the position of true disciple, she could no longer exert the combat power of Young Son of Heaven in the Longevity Realm, and the gap between her and the former true disciple of the Dao Palace grew wider and wider.

This regret haunted her throughout her life.

He regretted his whole life that he hadn't fought hard enough back then, that he lacked the drive and fighting spirit to prove himself.

Wu Hongling had fully understood that her Martial Aunt was testing their resolve, so she said, "Those Sheng Wulian are already doomed. How could a mere 'Si Wuyan' be a match for us?"

The Purple-clothed Woman said, "The struggle for the true inheritance has always been a bloody battle in any ancient sect. Don't ancient sects also hope that the most capable one will emerge, possessing both extraordinary combat power and superb skills?"

Like a Wind Force, Old Qin appeared beside Li Weiyi and grabbed his wrist. "You've gotten yourself into trouble! That woman from the Dao Palace will not be used by you; she's a terrifying being and will use this opportunity to kill you. Come with me!"

"Wait a minute, if she wanted to make a move, she would have done it already!"

Li Weiyi added, "With Coffin Master here, there's no need to be so nervous. I have another trump card!"

The Ancient Hidden Lord, who was four hundred years old, appeared a hundred feet away and communicated with the woman in purple robes through telepathy. Even he had no confidence whatsoever against Yu Zhenyan.

Yu Zhenyan's voice rang out. "If we interfere too much in the affairs of young people, they will never grow up."

Both the Ancient Hidden Lord and the Old Qin were stunned. Was this person going to ignore it?

Such a profound state of mind, such a peaceful temperament?

The Purple-clothed Woman and Wu Hongling transformed into two graceful figures and appeared on the plains several miles away, standing a foot apart from Li Weiyi.

Wu Hongling released her Dao Heart Manifestation, her jade-like face displaying a captivating smile, and transmitted her voice, saying, "Your attempt to sow discord is hardly clever. If I don't accept the <Life North Sea Map>, wouldn't you lose all face, and perhaps even your life be in danger?"

"You've arrived, haven't you?" Li Weiyi said.

Wu Hongling said, "Coming here means you'll receive the map? Coming here could also mean I'll kill you."

"Why put on such a charming smile if you're going to kill me? Pretending is exhausting. Let's get down to business," Li Weiyi said.

Wu Hongling was speechless for a moment, her smile widening, her beauty as lovely as jade, she really wanted to strike.

The Purple-clothed Woman said, "Many thanks to Li Shenyin for helping Hong Ling compete for the true teachings. This kindness has been witnessed by everyone in the world! If we help someone to the end and continue the charade until the very end, it will surely become a beautiful story."

"My Elder Aunt has the nicest voice."

Li Weiyi looked at the Purple-clothed Woman and asked, "How does my Elder Aunt want to act?"

With their current cultivation levels and the added protection of their Dao Heart Manifestation, even Longevity Realm Giants wouldn't be able to know what they were talking about.

All that could be seen were their smiling faces, their amicable demeanor, as if they were catching up or secretly plotting how to take down the Si Wuyan.

The Old Qin and the Ancient Hidden Lord retreated to a distance, both lost in thought, pondering various possibilities.

The conclusion was ultimately reached that Li Weiyi had indeed been involved with the Proud Daughter of Heaven of the Dao Palace for some time. Otherwise, why would he be so certain that the two vixens would accept such a maliciously conceived gift?

The coldness in Si Wuyan's eyes was intense, his expression a half-smile, and he was certain that his next target would be him.

Zhen Xin, standing to the side, said, "Li Weiyi and Wu Hongling must have been having an affair during the days they were missing. The rumors weren't unfounded after all. We all underestimated their ambitions before."

Sheng Wulian was brought back by Yao Qian and handed over to Si Wuyan. He left with the words, "Li Weiyi's victory was not honorable," and then left.

"As long as we haven't left the East Sea, it's uncertain who will have the last laugh," said the Si Wuyan.

The Purple-clothed Woman, wearing a veil, with flowing white hair and clear, watery eyes, said, "Since Li Shenyin is so devoted, why isn't he helping us compete for the Longevity Flower? This whole thing is just too fake!"

"What are my benefits?" Li Weiyi asked.

The Purple-clothed Woman said, "We will eliminate 'Sheng Wulian' and 'Si Wuyan,' so you will have no worries. Otherwise, even if you are not afraid of the revenge of these two true disciples, none of those close to you will be safe. For example, Zuoqiu Hongting, Yao Yin, Cangli, Li Jiufu..."

The reason why Li Weiyi must Sheng Wulian and Si Wuyan lies in this.

He had already seriously offended the two men, and their status as true disciples allowed them to mobilize enormous power, yet Li Weiyi was powerless to kill them.

The only way to get rid of them is by taking advantage of Wu Hongling and the Purple-clothed Woman's ambition.

The Purple-clothed Woman saw through this, and thus used it as a bargaining chip.
