Hiding in the Heavenly Pavilion

Cheng Dun and Pu Yanshou stood on a city wall, along a wide and straight street, gazing into the distance at the group of martial arts practitioners from the Saints Learning Sea.

Pu Yanshou saw Li Weiyi release four captured martial artists from the boundary bags, and a look of confusion appeared in his eyes. "Strange, Li Weiyi has five boundary bags on him. Logically speaking, in such a chaotic siege, at least one of the boundary bags should have been hit. Why are all five boundary bags intact?"

Cheng Dun stood with his hands behind his back and snorted lightly, "They're both Earth-grade world bags, not so easily broken! This kid does have a clear sense of right and wrong."

"Earth-grade world bags are all very precious, with huge internal spaces. Why does he have as many as five? Did he prepare them in advance for today's battle?" Pu Yanshou was even more puzzled.

Cheng Dun frowned, also feeling that the number of Earth-grade World Bags on his body was a bit too much for a young Longevity Realm Martial Cultivator!

Meng Qingyuan fell completely silent.

Jiang Ning and Zhuang Yue arrived at the parking area in the garden, ready to leave, only to find the silver carriage overturned on the ground. The phoenix, its head shattered by a finger strike, lay in a pool of blood.

Jiang Ning looked at the wound on the phoenix's head; the immortal energy had not yet dissipated. "How naive!"

Zhuang Yue, however, revealed a look of delight. "Even in such a dangerous situation, he still managed to steal a moment to destroy the carriage and kill Luan. Doesn't that just prove that he cares about you, Miss?"

"You should go back to the Dao Palace first."

After a moment of contemplation, Jiang Ning said this, then his figure became semi-transparent and he chased after the sounds of battle.

After escaping, Li Weiyi and Mo Duanfeng immediately gathered their aura, changed into brand-new magical robes to cover their wounds and bloodstains, and sneaked into the city, blending into the chaotic crowd.

A moment later, they entered the East City Heavenly Pavilion.

The reason they hid here was twofold. Firstly, the Heavenly Pavilion had a strong enough backing and a powerful enough array. Neither the young martial artists from the Saints Learning Sea nor the assassins arranged by the Demon Country Crown Prince would dare to act recklessly, even if they tracked them down.

Secondly, Dongcheng Heavenly Pavilion was built on a mountain ridge several hundred meters high. The entire ridge had been bought up, and it wasn't far from Meng Qingyuan. After the two escaped, they could see it as soon as they looked up, so they naturally took the opportunity to hide there.

Dongcheng Heavenly Pavilion is built along the mountainside, with each level building building progressively higher than the last, and the seven main buildings resemble a ladder to heaven.

As night fell, the lanterns hanging from the eaves lit up one by one, shining like a galaxy.

Li Weiyi and Mo Duanfeng settled into the sixth main building and immediately sat down on the floor of their room to heal their injuries. After swallowing healing pills, their bodies were enveloped in a mist of pills, and their injuries healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Before long, a commotion and exclamations arose from the dance and entertainment area downstairs.

"Meng Quyi is the top expert of the younger generation in the Saints Learning Sea, and a hot favorite to be ranked number one on the <Longevity Earth Ranking>."

"Qingxiang, a descendant of Qing Xiang, has also arrived! Her elegance rivals that of any of the Son of Heaven's Disciple."

Meng Quyi's voice rang out. "Has anyone seen Mo Duanfeng and Li Weiyi?"

"The Southern Dragon of the Sacred Dynasty and Lingxiao Nanlong are also at the East City Heavenly Pavilion?"

Heavenly Pavilion, a deafening explosion occurred.

Li Weiyi and Mo Duanfeng stopped healing, opened the window a crack, and looked downstairs.

"What an amazing tracking method! It actually managed to find us here." Li Weiyi's gaze narrowed slightly.

Mo Duanfeng's injuries had recovered by forty or fifty percent, and his confidence had greatly increased. He laughed and said, "The Heaven and Earth Freedom Realm is not just an empty name. Meng Quyi's perception of subtle things and fortune and misfortune is unmatched among the younger generation. However, it's not surprising that there are transcendent beings living in the Heavenly Pavilion; he still doesn't dare to trespass recklessly."

The sixth main building is nine stories high, with over a hundred luxurious private rooms, all isolated by array formations. Even if Meng Quyi pinpointed their location, finding them would be incredibly difficult.

Close the window.

Mo Duanfeng sighed softly, "I originally thought that after cultivating the seventh Zutian Immortal Blade, Gu Zhenxiang, you, and Tang Wanzhou would be my only opponents among the Ninth Generation Longevity Person. However, facing Meng Quyi, who is wearing the Saints' Robes, even if I were to wear the Fire God Armor, I'm afraid he would still have a better chance of winning."

"Don't underestimate yourself. I think Pu Yanshou is right. In the battle at Meng Qingyuan, Meng Quyi had the advantage of timing, location, and popular support. Besides, you still have a breakthrough to make. Once you reach the peak of the Fourth Realm, I think Meng Quyi will only have a 30% chance of winning against you."

Although Li Weiyi's previous palm strike failed to severely injure Meng Quyi to the point of incapacitating him, his state of mind remained unaffected. This was because Meng Quyi possessed the Saints' Robes, while Li Weiyi wielded the Evil Camel Bell.

However, before the battle for immortality, he did not want to use his two trump cards: the Evil Camel Bell and the Wind Fire Lightning Electricity Great Formation.

"Bang! Bang!"

Ye Tianchen and Uncle Chu Fang tumbled out of the bag.

Inside the protective bag, the two had already suppressed their injuries. The moment they fell to the ground, they sprang up and prepared to launch a sneak attack.

Li Weiyi released Four-colored Spiritual Light from between his brows, which transformed into numerous chains of light that wrapped around their bodies. The two were severely injured and had no power to resist.

"Li Weiyi, killing us will do you no good. We were captured at Meng Qingyuan and taken away at the Hundred Families Gathering. Meng Quyi and Master Cheng will avenge us, even if it's just for their own reputation," Ye Tianchen said in a deep voice.

After subduing them until they were prostrate on the ground, Li Weiyi leisurely sat down in a chair and laughed, "When did I ever say I wanted to kill you? You were the ones who insisted on courting death at Meng Qingyuan."

Seeing that there seemed to be a turning point, Uncle Chu Fang quickly said, "We were petty-minded at Meng Qingyuan. Outside the Immortal Forest in Night Demon City, we were merely testing your strength. Please forgive our offense, Southern Dragon, and we apologize."

"We have already paid the price we deserved," Ye Tianchen said.

Li Weiyi ignored them and instead searched for the two bound bags on the table.

Ye Tianchen and Uncle Chu Fang were then surprised to find that Li Weiyi had taken away their protective bags at some point.

"Hey, how come there isn't one?"

Li Weiyi's gaze fell on the ancestral field below the navels of the two people. He suddenly leaned in and pressed his palms down, using wisps of magical energy to forcefully pull out the magical artifacts and Blood Butcher Demonic Armor hidden in the ancestral field.

The two dared not resist, fearing that Li Weiyi would take the opportunity to destroy their ancestral land, which would truly be the end for them.

When Li Weiyi said, "When did I ever say I wanted to kill you?", they had already lost the will to resist and stopped being defiant, lest they provoke him and make things worse.

Upon seeing the Blood Butcher Demonic Armor, Mo Duanfeng, who had been sitting by the window healing his wounds, immediately leaned closer, his eyes burning with desire. "How is this possible? The Demon Kingdom actually handed over such a treasure to them like this?"

"The Blood Butcher Demonic Armor requires a lot of time to study and adapt to, and also needs to be trained regularly," Uncle Chu Fang explained.

Ye Tianchen said, "The Demon Kingdom promised us many cultivation resources, and we can receive 30% in advance. The Blood Butcher Demonic Armor is that 30% treasure."

You actually believe that?

Mo Duanfeng and Li Weiyi exchanged a glance, not believing that the Demon Kingdom would really hand over the Blood Butcher Demonic Armor; they must have a backup plan.

Li Weiyi put away the two Blood Butcher Demonic Armor: "Don't even think about these two. I captured those two. However, I know who has the other six."

After hearing Li Weiyi name the six people, Mo Duanfeng frowned. "Are they all martial arts cultivators from the Demon Kingdom?"

Li Weiyi said, "They are all under the Wenren Lineage faction."

"In Carefree Capital, it's not easy to take them down; even finding them is difficult," Mo Duanfeng said.

Li Weiyi's gaze fell on Ye Tianchen and Uncle Chu Fang: "I believe that the Night Demon City Immortal Forest was a test. But since you have joined the Demon Kingdom's camp, once the battle for immortality begins, you will definitely target me first. At that time, should I give you my life, or should I give you the Jade Book of the Life Spring?"

Ye Tianchen and Uncle Chu Fang felt a chill run down their spines, thinking that Li Weiyi was about to go back on her word.

"Having lost the Blood Butcher Demonic Armor, how can we still have the face to join the Demon Kingdom's camp?" Uncle Chu Fang said.

Mo Duanfeng sneered, "Brother Weiyi, he's treating you like a fool! Having lost the Blood Butcher Demonic Armor, what other path do they have but to serve the Demon Kingdom?"

Li Weiyi grabbed Uncle Chu Fang's wrist. "In Meng Qingyuan, was it you who said you would strip us naked, break our limbs, and shave our heads?"

Uncle Chu Fang became nervous, his voice trembling. "Whatever you want to ask, I'll tell you."

"Tell me honestly about the places where you usually train for the Floating Pagoda battle formation, and what's going on inside." Li Weiyi looked at Mo Duanfeng and gave him a look.

Mo Duanfeng understood immediately, and took Ye Tianchen to the inner room, releasing his Mana Qi Domain to envelop the room.

Li Weiyi looked at Uncle Chu Fang again. "Speak, if your account doesn't match Ye Tianchen's, it's not too much for me to cripple your cultivation, is it?"

"Miao An Temple! That's Qu Mo Xiang's property; we've been training there. We only rushed back tonight because of the Hundred Families Gathering."

Uncle Chu Fang honestly explained the situation of Miao An Temple in detail.

After a while, Li Weiyi and Mo Duanfeng. Ye Chu and the other two were sealed in the Nine Springs and beaten unconscious.

"Miao An Temple is a den of dragons and tigers, and Ye Tianchen and Uncle Chu Fang only know a few bits and pieces about it. Since Shen Jian fell into your hands, they haven't moved at all, which shows how fearless they are. Just Shan Xianzhi, Wenren Tinghai, and Chi Yuan are already very difficult to deal with. Even if Gu Zhenxiang is there, I wouldn't be surprised at all," Mo Duanfeng said.

Li Weiyi said, "Besides that, we also need to be wary of the Taiyin Sect. As news of the battle at Meng Qingyuan spreads, the Taiyin Sect members will likely gather near the Heavenly Pavilion tonight to keep a close watch on our every move."

Light footsteps echoed in the corridor outside.

A stunningly beautiful silhouette was projected onto the door by the outside light. Then, a soft knock sounded.

The two people inside stopped their discussion, each lost in their own thoughts.

Mo Duanfeng was utterly astonished that the other party could locate them so accurately. After a moment, he revealed a meaningful smile, "It seems that Meng Quyi may not be the best in terms of perception among the younger generation! Leave the two of them to me. In terms of knife skills, I am the best among the younger generation. I will definitely shave their entire bodies."

Mo Duanfeng, carrying Ye Tianchen and Uncle Chu Fang, opened the door, glanced at Jiang Ning standing outside, and smiled, revealing a set of neat, white teeth, saying, "I won't disturb you two, I'll go to the side."

After saying this, he quickly slipped into the empty room next door and gently closed the door.
