The Secret of Immortal Law

On the other side, Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors sealed off the sea area, slaughtering more than twenty Dao Seed Realm experts from the Bright Dao Realm. To be precise, it was a massacre; the battle was one-sided.

Screams, pleas for mercy, and roars of anger rose and fell across the sea.

Knowing she couldn't escape, Yang Qingxi rushed over immediately, only to be greatly shocked by Li Weiyi's current power. That powerful figure, Kongxu Xu, had no power to resist at all. She assumed that Li Weiyi had broken through the shackles of the Feng Mansion and achieved immortality.

He can definitely do what others can't.

Yang Qingxi had an almost blind faith in Li Weiyi.

She and Yang Qingchan held their breath and bowed respectfully. "Congratulations to the Fourth Divine Son on breaking through to the realm of immortality and transcending the mortal world."

Yang Qingxi called her "Fourth Divine Son" in the hope that Li Weiyi would spare her life, remembering their life-and-death friendship at the Rice Sect headquarters.

After taking the three swords and the boundary bag, Li Weiyi tossed the Kongxu corpse into the seawater at his feet and turned his gaze to Yang Qingxi: "Didn't I make myself clear before? The grudges between the Sui Sect and the Jiu Li Tribe can be separated from our friendship. I have never taken the initiative to deal with the Sui Sect or anyone related to you, have I? During the trip to Old Yuzhou, I thought you were a clear-headed person. But you dared to participate in today's attack. Don't you know that I am the Hidden Person of the Jiu Li Hidden Gate?"

Li Weiyi spoke these words with the power to annihilate Kongxu. Even without releasing his mental power to intimidate, Yang Qingxi was still terrified and could no longer stand up straight in his presence.

Yang Qingxi bowed deeply, then knelt on one knee, lowering his posture to the lowest possible level. He didn't try to appear pitiful; his expression was serious and earnest. "I cherish our past friendship. But I had no choice. I am a Dao Ren, and also a disciple of the Sui Sect. I have orders from above, and I must obey. But I swear, I did not kill anyone. I know that once I acted, there would never be a second chance to resolve our grievances."

Yang Qingchan also knelt on one knee.

Kneeling before a Longevity Realm Expert is nothing to be ashamed of.

Martial arts cultivation is inherently hierarchical, with each realm having its own hierarchy.

Two severely injured elders from the Hidden Gate rushed over and bowed deeply to Li Weiyi, showing their heartfelt respect. It was clear that this young Hidden Person was already a figure of great stature.

Li Weiyi ignored the two Yangs kneeling on one knee and asked, "Elders, where is Hidden Lord?"

The reclusive elder, who was on the verge of immortality, pointed in a direction. "The Hidden Lord was attacked by Yao Qian and Yang Yin. Fortunately, he had a life-saving talisman with him. After escaping, he fled towards the deep sea."

Upon hearing Li Weiyi's summons, the Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors each flew over, carrying several boundary bags.

"Of the twenty-six martial artists, only three escaped with serious injuries," Great Phoenix reported to Li Weiyi before Second Phoenix could.

Li Weiyi put away all the items in the bag and looked at Yang Qingxi: "You, Miss Yang, are a goddess of the Rice Sect. How arrogant you are! You know that as long as you kneel down, I will definitely soften. You really know how to save your life!"

"Just say the word, and I'll abandon the Rice Cult Goddess and leave with you right now. You should understand, I mean it." Yang Qingxi looked down at the sea, her tone devoid of any emotion.

She knew that any deliberate affectation, no matter how genuine, would seem insincere and would only provoke Li Weiyi's dislike.

"Go and kill the three who escaped, bring me their heads, and I will believe what you said earlier."

Li Weiyi sent a telepathic message to the two elders of the Hidden Gate, instructing them to return to Lingxiao Shengjing first. Then, he took the Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors and headed towards the deep sea.

He didn't chase them too far, only traversing four hundred miles, before Li Weiyi sensed the fluctuations of magical energy.

The moisture in the sky condensed into snowflakes and fell.

Daoist arts altered the celestial phenomena.

The closer one gets to the center of the battle, the sharper the sword wind becomes, and the snow stings one's face, chilling one to the bone.

"Whoosh!"

Li Weiyi emerged from the spatial void and stormed into the sea area shrouded by the external manifestations of the Daoist hearts of the three Longevity Realm martial cultivators, Yin Jun, Yao Qian, and Yang Yin. He brandished the Yellow Dragon Sword and charged forward.

All three of them spotted him.

The Hidden Lord, not seeing the Great Palace Master, exclaimed "Oh dear!" and transmitted his voice, "What are you doing here? Get out of here! There's a Great Longevity of the Dao Palace hiding in the shadows."

The fact that the Hidden Lord, despite possessing the Provincial Governor's Official Robe and carrying a life-saving talisman, was unable to escape far suggests that there must be a powerful figure from the Dao Palace nearby. Li Weiyi had discerned this from the words spoken by Yang Qianfeng's corpse earlier.

"If we're going to leave, we'll leave together."

Li Weiyi maintained his speed, releasing his Fengfu magical energy. Seven-clawed Fiery Heavenly Dragon circled around him as he shouted, "Dao Palace Great Longevity dares to touch me? The leader and the Great Palace Master will take his life. If you don't believe me, then try me!"

At the same time, he activated the Ten Thousand Mile Divine Speed Talisman, and a layer of Talisman Light appeared on his body.

"Li Weiyi, you're too naive. The reason we wanted to capture Li Songgu alive was to lure you out. Do you think the Dao Palace would fear a Great Palace Master has turned into Little Girl and the Jiu Li Leader has become a corpse?"

"Whoosh!"

Yao Qian abandoned Hidden Lord, and like a blur, flew across the sea, covering a distance of two miles, and thrust his sword straight at Li Weiyi.

The sword's momentum was overwhelming, with snowflakes flying everywhere and countless Sword Qi pressing in from all directions, giving Li Weiyi no chance to escape using the Divine Speed Talisman.

Li Weiyi's eyes suddenly turned cold as he swung his sword to meet the attack, the sword's sound like Dragon Roar.

The sword light transformed into a streak of light, slicing through the flying snow as if splitting the void, and clashed with the incoming sword.

"Bang!"

The two swords clashed, and countless Sword Qi scattered in all directions.

On the sea, waves several meters high were churned up.

After blocking the sword, the dragon soul flew out from the embroidered patch on Li Weiyi's chest.

Yao Qian was caught off guard. His eyes narrowed, and in a rather disheveled manner, he rushed into the water to the right to dodge the dragon soul that suddenly flew out.

Li Weiyi did not pursue. He flew over the Dragon Soul, unleashing the speed of the "Ten Thousand Mile Divine Speed Talisman," grabbed Hidden Lord's wrist, and then rushed out without stopping.

Even though he desperately wanted to kill Yao Qian, he remained rational.

The speed unleashed by the Ten Thousand Mile Divine Speed Talisman is comparable to some extraordinary abilities.

Before Yang Yin could react, Li Weiyi, accompanied by Hidden Lord, had already appeared dozens of miles away.

"Boom!"

Li Weiyi and Hidden Lord crashed into an invisible wall, as a powerful figure in the shadows intervened to prevent their escape.

"Whoosh!"

The Provincial Governor's Official Robe activated, releasing Spatial Power that transformed into Purple Mist Light Cluster that passed through an invisible wall and appeared six or seven miles away.

But after rushing for dozens of miles, they were stopped by an invisible wall.

The person hiding in the shadows possesses extraordinary cultivation and can manipulate magical energy to isolate themselves from the world.

Hidden Lord was so angry his face turned purple. He said, "I told you not to come, but you insisted. Even the Ten Thousand Mile Divine Speed Talisman is useless against a powerhouse of this level."

"If you're in danger, how could I not come? I'd come even if it meant going through fire and water." Li Weiyi looked around and spoke to Second Phoenix, who was perched on his shoulder.

Hidden Lord was speechless for a moment. "Where is the Great Palace Master? Quickly, invite him out."

"The Great Palace Master is not here... Wait for me a moment, I'll be right back."

Li Weiyi stepped on the Yellow Dragon Projection and soared dozens of feet into the air, over the invisible wall, and headed in the direction indicated by the Second Phoenix.

He leaped to the sea sixty miles away and saw An Xianjing sitting cross-legged on a small boat. He clasped his hands in a salute and said, "Hall Master An, spare our lives."

Upon arriving at this sea area, Second Phoenix sensed an An Xianjing aura.

It must have been her who intervened just now.

An Xianjing, dressed in white and wearing a bamboo hat, bowed her head and held Prayer Beads in her hands. "You've grown quite capable, actually recognizing me and finding me. But, you shouldn't have come. Our fate is over, our karma is settled, we owe each other nothing. Amitabha Buddha!"

The sea here is as smooth as a mirror, a stark contrast to the towering waves on the other side.

Li Weiyi said, "Yang Shen Realm himself dared not attack the Jiu Li Tribe, fearing the encounter with the Jiu Li Leader. Therefore, he suggested to the Dao Palace Chaoran that Dao Palace Hall Master An, to play the villain, thus making amends and severing ties with Yao Qingxuan and me. I understand Hall Master An's difficulties..."

"You're so smart, yet you insist on doing something foolish," An Xianjing said. "If you hadn't come, I could have turned a blind eye and let you leave. But since you've come, you must die."

Li Weiyi shook his head and said, "No, there's another option! You can close both eyes, and leave everything else to me."

An Xianjing raised her head, revealing eyes as cold as frost. "Capturing Li Songgu is a task assigned by higher-ups, not something I can decide. There are no conditions to negotiate."

Li Weiyi said, "Missions can fail! For example, the Palace Master might encounter the Jiu Li Leader."

"Do you think Yao Qian and Yang Yin are dead?" An Xianjing asked.

Li Weiyi said, "If Hall Master An closes both of his eyes, I can try to turn them into dead people."

An Xianjing laughed calmly, "Who do you think you are? Are you asking me to betray the Rice Cult? To betray the Rice People?"

Li Weiyi explained the implications, "Capturing the Hidden Lord and me will inevitably provoke the Great Palace Master and the Jiu Li Leader. Behind them are the Hidden Ancestor, the Zuoqiu Courtyard, and the Imperial Court."

"Now that the Bright Dao Realm and the Lingxiao Shengjing have just reached a truce and need each other, whoever starts a war will be pushed out to appease public anger and become a scapegoat."

"Yang Shen Realm's move is not only aimed at the Jiu Li Tribe, but also at putting you to death."

An Xianjing asked, "Why did he want to kill me?"

"Regarding the blood letter, you and the Sui Sect are now mortal enemies. Don't forget how the Sheng Family Ancestor died. Although it was my responsibility, and I harmed Hall Master An, that is the truth."

Li Weiyi walked towards her.

An Xianjing stared at him with a warning look, but Li Weiyi still boarded the small boat and leaned down to whisper in her ear, "Does Hall Master An know why the Earth Wolf King Army suddenly turned against you when you were in Lizhou and wanted to attack the Jiu Li Tribe?"

"Wasn't the Earth Wolf King Army secretly trained by your Jiu Li Hidden Gate? Why are you suddenly bringing this up?" An Xianjing asked.

Li Weiyi said, "I have an opportunity that I wish to give to Hall Master An. It may help you break through to a higher realm and even pursue the Martial Path Son of Heaven. However, I do not know how strong Hall Master An is, or whether he is a match for Shi Na'er, the Heavenly King of the Earth Wolf King Army?"

Then Li Weiyi whispered the secret of the Immortal Law Star to her.

The Immortal Law Star can help martial artists break through to the Martial Path Son of Heaven realm; if this news leaks out, it will surely shake the world.

Li Weiyi had no intention of keeping this secret from Yu'er. For her, breaking through to the next realm herself was the best path. Using Immortal Law Star to replace the path she had painstakingly cultivated for many years was putting the cart before the horse.

"No wonder... You couldn't possibly be lying to me, could you?"

An Xianjing was deeply moved, her eyes widening as she stared at Li Weiyi.

"If we didn't hold this leverage, would a rebellious and ruthless tyrant like Shi Na'er have willingly obeyed us?"

Li Weiyi continued, "However, he's hiding now, definitely secretly trying to break through to the Transcendent Realm. If Hall Master An can find him and defeat him, this opportunity will be yours. So, is this news valuable enough?"

An Xianjing believed Li Weiyi wasn't lying to her and was eager to rush off to track down Shi Na'er: "I could never betray the Rice Cult, so I won't help you. If you can kill Yao Qian and Yang Yin, I'll let you go. If you can't, then there's nothing I can do..."

Li Weiyi took out the last set of Provincial Governor's Official Robe from the bag and placed it in her arms, then pressed an official seal on it. "Shi Na'er's cultivation is very high. Wearing the Provincial Governor's Official Robe will definitely increase your chances of success. Only then can I feel at ease, lest you be hurt by him instead."

An Xianjing sat there upright, rehearsing her words several times before finally asking in a low voice, "Have you reached the Longevity Realm? How confident are you?"
