Assassination, Chu Yutian?

Time passes by day by day in the process of spiritual practice.

There is only one month left until the end of the year.

At the top of Dongxu Camp Hall is located, the snow is vast and the cold wind howls.

The room was unusually quiet and quite warm.

Zhuang Shiyan glanced at Li Weiyi, then looked at Yao Qingxuan standing below, before throwing the brush in his hand. Those wishing to join the Sentinel Spirit Army and the Lesser Yang Division must undergo a strength test.

"Whoosh!"

The brush spun and twirled in mid-air, its luster increasing dramatically.

In the light, the writing brush transformed into a humanoid puppet warrior clad in bamboo armor.

The moment the puppet warrior landed, it moved forward like a phantom and unleashed a devastating palm strike. The Wind Force condensed into a massive handprint phantom, completely enveloping Yao Qingxuan.

Yao Qingxuan's robes and black hair fluttered behind him.

No refund.

Her seemingly frail body leaned slightly forward. She raised her right hand, and from her palm, Laogong Spring released magical energy and a powerful vortex of wind, carrying a large amount of Longevity Scriptures, and struck out with her palm.

"Bang!"

The puppet warrior and Yao Qingxuan were both sent flying backwards at the same time.

Upon landing, Yao Qingxuan did not linger or stabilize himself. Instead, he harnessed the Wind Force and shot out like an arrow.

"Alright! You win, but don't ruin my pen."

Zhuang Shiyan his hand, unleashing a curtain of magical energy that repelled Yao Qingxuan while simultaneously recalling the puppet warrior, transforming it back into a writing brush.

Then, he sat back down in his seat.

He used the pen in his hand to add Yao Qingxuan's name to the Spirit Watch Book.

"You may leave now. I need to speak with Li Weiyi alone for a few minutes."

After handing over the Sentinel Spirit Waist Token and the Lesser Yang Guard Waist Token, which he had personally crafted, to Yao Qingxuan, Zhuang Shiyan said the following.

After bowing, Yao Qingxuan withdrew.

Zhuang Shiyan stared at Li Weiyi, whose Aura had greatly improved, and sighed with displeasure, "Yu Yaozi has been winning for a thousand years, she's too confident, always thinking that everything is under her control. In reality, this world is never short of people with clever methods and deep minds. From the fact that she was tricked by Yu Daozhen and Xianmin and fell victim to the Six Thoughts Mind Curse, we can see that she also has times when she miscalculates, and she can't win every time."

Li Weiyi laughed and said, "I'm not stupid! If I can't win, I'll just throw out the Jade Book of Life Spring. Does the Great Palace Master think he'll kill me?"

"If Yu Baxian obtains the Spring of Life and the Life Spring, he can extend his life by at least a thousand years. In this way, he can free up his resources to use the more than two billion people of the Sacred Hall Life Realm and countless members of the Time Clan to force the Ancient Years Clan to hand over the relic of the Years Ruin Empress that he truly desires. That relic can help him break through to a higher realm. Only by breaking through to a higher realm can he truly extend his life and then be fearless of everything."

Zhuang Shiyan continued, "If Yu Baxian succeeds in breaking through to the next realm, Zen Sea Observing Mist and Yu Yaozi will likely have their cultivation crippled and be taken into the Carefree Palace as concubines, with no power to resist. He will not forget the humiliation Zen Sea Observing Mist brought him. The reason he didn't touch Yu Yaozi for the past thousand years was because he was suppressed by the Sacred Son of Heaven and Jian Tianxia. Now, Yu Yaozi openly opposes him, and the Martial Path Son of Heaven has lost all face. If it weren't for his declining blood and thinning life energy, how could he swallow this insult?"

"This is a life-or-death struggle; neither side can afford to lose!"

Li Weiyi looked confused, unsure of Zhuang Shiyan's stance. He seemed unwilling for Yu Baxian to successfully extend his life and also harbored great prejudice against Yu Yaozi.

"Yu Yaozi is being too frivolous. To achieve her ambitions, she's taking a huge risk. Or is she acting out of spite? In the last round, she lost to Yu Daozhen, destroyed Lingxiao Palace, killed millions of people, and turned Lingxiao Shengjing from its glorious peak into ruin. Is she trying to win back some face from the Demon Kingdom?"

Zhuang Shiyan regained his calm and natural state of mind, and waved his hand. "It's no use talking about this now, you can't persuade her to go. Go! Hongting came looking for you, she's very concerned about your safety, she's waiting for you in Night Demon City."

Li Weiyi took his leave, unaffected by Zhuang Shiyan.

Because he knew that Yu Yaozi was doing this not only out of ambition, but also because she wanted to help the Sacred Hall Life Realm.

He didn't know how those powerful figures at the pinnacle of transcendence and the realm of emperors thought, but he knew that if Yu Yaozi hadn't stepped forward, the Sacred Hall Life Realm and the Ancient Years Clan would most likely have been sacrificed.

Moreover, Yu Yaozi had already told Li Weiyi what she was going to do.

More importantly, Li Weiyi believes that Zhuang Shiyan was influenced by the abbot of the Du'e Temple! Otherwise, how would he know Yu Baxian's true purpose?

The night was bitterly cold, with dark clouds obscuring the stars and hiding the moon.

Li Weiyi and Yao Qingxuan, dressed in Invisibility Nightwalker's Robe, left the Dongxu Camp and headed towards the Holy City of the Chi Ming Realm.

That's where the Spatial Teleportation Array to the Demon Kingdom is located.

The reason for their stealth and concealment is not out of fear of the Demon Kingdom. In fact, before the Hundred Realms Longevity Crossing, the Demon Kingdom will do everything in its power to protect Li Weiyi.

If Li Weiyi gets into trouble, Yu Yaozi will definitely not use the Life Spring to fight for it again.

Li Weiyi concern was the Taiyin Sect and the departed spirits.

The Taiyin Sect does not want Yu Baxian to succeed in prolonging his life. They do not want the powerful figures of the Demon Kingdom and the armies of the Various Life Realms to go to the Sacred Hall Life Realm. They hope that the human race will continue to hinder each other, that the Demon Kingdom will continue to be in chaos, and that the entire Hundred Realms Life Domain will become chaotic.

Li Yao and his companion carefully and stealthily traveled a thousand miles, completely leaving the "forbidden zone of the Immortal Mist Sect".

As dawn broke, they stood atop the snow-covered mountain, gazing into the distance. Ahead, the terrain flattened out, while behind them stretched a range of mountains.

"Aren't you being a bit too cautious? This is the location of the Dongxu Camp!" Yao Qingxuan said.

"It is precisely because we came from Dongxu Camp that we must be even more careful."

The two braved the cold wind and rushed out of the mountains.

For the next day and night, they either burrowed underground or moved stealthily. Only after confirming that there were no pursuing enemies did they use the Disguise Art to ride the Departed Spirit Soul Beast Chariot swiftly along the official road.

The Chi Ming Realm is a medium-sized habitat ranked tenth, with a larger population and territory than the Sacred Hall Life Realm, ranked fifteenth. However, the overall strength of martial artists above the Longevity Realm is slightly inferior.

The Ancient Years Clan has propelled the Sacred Hall Life Realm into the top ten of medium-sized habitats.

Habitat ranking refers to the ranking of geographical areas.

Five days later.

Li Weiyi and Yao Qingxuan arrived at the Crimson Bright Holy City by car.

As they entered the city, above the city gate, a top-tier ancient mirror with the Myriad-character Artifact) cast on its back floated, and beams of light fell upon them.

The Chi Ming Realm is located in Chaos Zone, surrounded by the Netherworld of the Departed. Naturally, it is necessary to guard against powerful spirits sneaking into the Holy City and causing destruction.

Enter the city.

The vehicle traveled along the wide cobblestone streets, heading towards the Spatial Teleportation Array.

Li Weiyi cast aside all his tension, worries, and pressure, glanced into the car, and said, "Master Yao has been in seclusion in the Underworld for many years. Would you be interested in trying the delicacies of Crimson Bright Holy City? It's on me!"

"No interest! Since entering the city, I've heard many cultivators in taverns and teahouses talking about you. It seems the whole world is waiting for you to go to Carefree Capital," Yao Qingxuan said.

Li Weiyi, of course, also released his senses to gather information. "It's not too hard to guess that the Great Palace Master has placed his Life Spring on me, so it's natural that it will attract the attention of busybodies. Is Master Yao afraid?"

Yao Qingxuan sat quietly in the carriage, his hands clasped in the ancestral field, refining the Dragon Soul Origin Light. His eyes were cold and indifferent. "After seven years of cultivation in the Netherworld, with the help of the demon king's flesh and blood, I successfully broke through to the third realm of the Longevity Realm. However, I don't believe that my cultivation at the Early Third Realm can be of any help in this situation."

"Master Yao is exceptionally intelligent, but even he has his moments of being blinded by a single leaf. In fact, you can be of great help to me," Li Weiyi said.

"Don't speak yet, let me think for a moment."

Yao Qingxuan pondered for four blocks, still unable to come up with a solution. "Tell me, I can't think of anything."

"If everyone in the world thinks that the Life Spring is in my hands, and I have temporarily entrusted it to you for safekeeping, and more importantly, you joined the Sacred Dynasty's camp before this and received the protection of the Sacred Dynasty's immortals," Li Weiyi said.

Yao Qingxuan said, "I'm not afraid of being killed by you, but do you dare to give me the Jade Book of Life Spring?"

"As long as the Demon Kingdom considers you a pawn of mine, and there is a possibility that they will temporarily hand over the Jade Book of Life Spring to you, they can draw away some of their power. Even if they only draw away one-tenth, Master Yao, your value is greater than that of a martial artist at the peak of the Fourth Realm. A martial artist at the peak of the Fourth Realm cannot deal with one-tenth of the Demon Kingdom's Ninth Generation Longevity Person," Li Weiyi said.

Yao Qingxuan's voice drifted from inside the carriage. "I understand, you really want to kill me, but first you have to convince the Demon Kingdom that you're capable of doing so... No good..."

A talisman shot through the alley and struck the moving vehicle.

"Boom!"

The chassis shattered, leaving a crater several meters in diameter in the ground.

The buildings on both sides of the street collapsed instantly, and all pedestrians within a radius of twenty feet were sent flying through the air, bleeding from their seven orifices, by the shockwave released by the talisman.

"Splash! Splash..."

In this urban area, Defensive Formation beams of light shot into the sky one after another.

Li Weiyi and Yao Qingxuan were the first to leap out of the vehicle, darting sideways to avoid the attack, and crashing into the dusty ruins.

The two quickly stood up, released their protective magical energy, and took out their weapons.

"What a terrifying talisman! If we had reacted even slightly slower, we would both have died." Yao Qingxuan's senses were fully extended outwards, and he was on high alert in all directions.

Before the two could activate their magical artifacts, a ghostly black shadow, carrying a chilling aura, rushed out of the alley and roared towards them.

This person's movements were unpredictable, and his intention was to kill Li Weiyi.

Another talisman flew out of his sleeve like an arrow.

"Taiyin True Qi!"

Li Weiyi shouted loudly, recognizing the other party as a member of the Taiyin Sect, hoping to use this sound to attract the attention of the human transcendents in the Crimson Bright Holy City.

At the same time, Li Weiyi, like a raging lion, strode forward and swung his sword at the dark figure following behind the talisman, his eyes fixed on him. As for the talisman that was close at hand, he completely ignored it.

The shadowy figure looked surprised.

Li Weiyi isn't afraid of his talisman?

This caught him somewhat off guard!

"Whoosh!"

The shadowy figure formed a hand seal with his left hand, unleashing the killing power of the talisman. With his right hand, he swung out a hand clad in a magical gauntlet, striking the blade of the Yellow Dragon Sword.

The talisman flying in mid-air flickered and shot out like an arrow, completely piercing through Li Weiyi's protective magical energy.

However, it failed to penetrate Li Weiyi's body. The high-grade Spirit Talisman given to him by Zhuang Shiyan automatically condensed a layer of defensive power, blocking it.

"Boom!"

Li Weiyi took three steps back.

The dark figure flew backward, its toes barely touching the ground as it hurtled away into the distance. Using some unknown secret technique, its body swiftly merged into the array's Light Veil, disappearing instantly into the crowd several streets away.

Li Weiyi chased after Yao Qingxuan for a distance, then immediately stopped and retreated to Yao Qingxuan's side.

Yao Qingxuan said, "It must have been that magical mirror we used when we entered the city that exposed our identities and whereabouts. Someone has been waiting for us in the Crimson Bright Holy City all along. What a strange spell, completely ignoring the array barrier."

"Chu Yutian?"

Li Weiyi frowned and muttered to himself.

Within the Taiyin True Qi emanating from that dark figure, a familiar aura was sensed, even though the other party was using a magical artifact similar to Yao Qingxuan's smiling Buddha mask to deliberately conceal the aura of their inner magical energy.

"Where are the evil figures of the Taiyin Sect? Are you Li Weiyi, the successor of the Lingxiao Palace's Dao Law Successor?"

One transcendent being and seven Great Longevity from the city arrived first, appearing above Li Weiyi and Yao Qingxuan.

Amidst the deafening roar, a large number of city guards surged in like a tide, sealing off the entire urban area.
