A Transcendent Falls

"Rustle!"

Before Li Weiyi could regain her composure...

The street he was on, which was four zhang wide, was filled with mist formed from the Silver Rain Corpse Poison from both ends.

Wherever the Silver Rain Corpse Poison passed, those with low cultivation levels were directly corroded into a pool of dark silver pus and blood. Those with high cultivation levels, on the other hand, quickly turned into corpses.

Li Weiyi released his protective aura, and immediately sensed an extremely terrifying killing intent approaching from afar. That aura and power were definitely not possessed by an ordinary Great Longevity.

"Oh no, we've been exposed! But why?"

In a flash, Li Weiyi's thoughts raced.

I really can't figure out where things went wrong.

At Dongcheng Heavenly Pavilion, he and Mo Duanfeng left one after the other after some time had passed.

After separating from Mo Duanfeng, he used various methods to change his appearance and identity in the Heavenly Pavilion in order to deceive everyone.

"Whoosh!"

The doubt lasted only a moment before dark magic surged from the sole of Li Weiyi's left foot, and his body flew off the ground like an arrow.

It has just left the ground.

A powerful shockwave erupted from the spot where I had just been standing.

In mid-air, Li Weiyi took out the Purifying Fire Talisman that Nangong had given him and threw it downwards.

This Purifying Fire Talisman was crafted by Great Saint Mind Master of the Ancient Years Clan.

"Whoosh!"

The runes on the talisman emitted a crimson light like magma, tearing the talisman paper to pieces. From inside the talisman paper, a cloud of fire was released, shooting straight down and suppressing the invisible shockwave.

"Boom!"

The street, four zhang wide, was blown open, revealing several shocking and terrifying cracks. Large sections of the buildings on both sides of the street collapsed and were reduced to ruins.

The entire area within a hundred-foot radius was enveloped in a silvery mist of corpse poison, obscuring vision and impairing perception.

Before Li Weiyi could even breathe a sigh of relief, a silver net of light descended from above.

It was a giant net woven from countless silver threads, so fine that even a finger could not pass through it. The net undulated like waves, Li Weiyi could not see the edge of it; his eyes felt as if they were about to be blinded by the silver light.

"Whoosh!"

Li Weiyi quickly raised the talisman umbrella belonging to the fake Luo Yinji, continuously pouring his magical energy into it.

Previously, when selling magical artifacts and other items at the East City Heavenly Pavilion, he specifically took out this talisman umbrella, reluctant to sell it, so he placed it at the top of his storage bag, and only took it out immediately.

The silver light net was pressed down extremely quickly.

"Slap! Slap!"

As soon as Li Weiyi landed, he heard the sound of the buildings and formations on the surrounding streets being cut into fragments by the silver light net.

Even the high-grade talisman umbrella above their heads was pierced by the net of light.

Sharp silver threads pierced through the runes and the umbrella paper.

The umbrella bought Li Weiyi some time.

"Boom!"

The thunder was deafening. The Purple Sky Lei Seal was activated and transformed into the size of a house. It flew upwards and supported the extremely dangerous silver light net.

Li Weiyi stood beneath the Purple Sky Lei Seal, threw away the broken umbrella, and quickly reached for the piece of paper that Yu Yaozi had given him.

Yu Yaozi had said that the note contained more than just a Divine Sword Talisman. Moreover, the fact that she dared to let Li Weiyi come to Carefree Capital alone clearly showed that she had great confidence in that note.

"Call!"

Oh no, it's coming!

Li Weiyi mobilized all his magical energy, activating all the defensive robes on his body. Even the Purple Lightning could not provide support for him for the time being. He simultaneously struck out Swastika Symbol Imprint with both palms and pushed forward.

The one attacking from the front was an Old Man in a gray robe with thinning hair. He burst out from the silvery mist of corpse poison and punched through two Swastika Symbol Imprint, sending Li Weiyi flying dozens of feet away.

He let out a soft exclamation, clearly not expecting Li Weiyi to react so quickly and possess such powerful Daoist skills, managing to save his life from a potentially fatal punch.

After only a brief moment of surprise, the Old Man leaped forward again like a ghost, launching another attack.

"The Sixth Realm?"

Li Weiyi's body felt like it had been smashed to pieces; his back had crashed through the street and was completely embedded in the ground. His mouth was full of blood, but his eyes were fixed on the Old Man, and he had already pulled out a white letter.

"Court death!"

A bright sword light pierced through the air and arrived.

The sword light sliced Old Man was charging at them in two, and blood splattered all over the ground.

Chang Zhi, carrying a blood-stained sword, flew over and stood in front of Li Weiyi. Her imposing presence was overwhelming, her aura spreading over a radius of a hundred feet, then expanding to a thousand feet and ten thousand feet. Her eyes were like two stars, alert to all directions.

Li Weiyi breathed a long sigh of relief and immediately hid the note in his sleeve, secretly circulating his spiritual energy to regulate his breathing.

That was extremely dangerous.

The three attacks occurred almost within the span of a single breath.

Every time an attack was launched, if he reacted even a fraction of a second too slowly, he would definitely not be able to stop it.

"Boom!"

A transcendent chariot shrouded in runes sped towards them, pulled by three dragon-headed fire lions.

The three dragon-headed fire lions were subdued by Chang Zhi in the Primordial Demon Plains. Each one was full of vigor, exhaling breath like clouds, and was two zhang long, with a domineering presence.

Chang Zhi said, "Get in the car first, let's leave this area. The Taiyin Sect's extraordinary presence has appeared."

"Many thanks to Mr. Zhi for saving me."

Li Weiyi bowed deeply, withdrew the Purple Sky Lei Seal, and walked to the side of the Transcendent Imperial Carriage. The runes floating in the void at the boarding position automatically faded.

He lifted the carriage curtain and went inside.

Li Weiyi discovered that a graceful figure in a white Daoist robe was already sitting directly above her in the brightly lit compartment.

In just a moment when their eyes met, Li Weiyi immediately recognized her as Chang Yuqing, the Eighth Generation Longevity Person who had toasted him at the Chang family banquet, also known as "True Person Yuqing".

At the time, Li Weiyi didn't see what she looked like clearly, but he remembered her eyes, which he could never forget after just one glance.

Li Weiyi sat down, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and reflected on the problems with the assassination attempt.

The magnificent chariot, pulled by three dragon-headed fire lions, set off.

Li Weiyi's eyes narrowed. "Mr. Zhi has not yet boarded the vehicle."

"Let's leave first, get out of this dangerous place that the Taiyin Sect has meticulously prepared."

Chang Yuqing remained calm and composed, holding a whisk and sitting quietly inside. Her Daoist robe was spotless, and her expression was as gentle and profound as that of a Bodhisattva, a stark contrast to Li Weiyi's rapidly pounding heart.

Li Weiyi asked, "Wouldn't that be too dangerous?"

"Meeting."

Chang Yuqing answered in this way.

Li Weiyi looked at her in surprise, only now having a chance to properly examine this True Person Yuqing.

They discovered that her eyes were still incredibly captivating, like melting snow in early spring, but her ruby-red lips and alluring, fairy-like face, along with her ethereal and otherworldly aura, while possessing a fatal attraction for men everywhere, also felt somewhat incongruous.

A combination of qualities—ethereal, lively, alluring, gentle, serene, and profound—in one person creates an indescribable attraction.

"Why is True Person Yuqing so confident? I'm already being watched; it's entirely possible that the Taiyin Sect's Chaoran will attack me."

Li Weiyi pondered to himself that the reason he couldn't see Chang's face clearly at the family banquet that day was probably not because she was drunk, but because she had cultivated some kind of magic.

Chang Yuqing's eyes sparkled, and she smiled serenely, "If Chao Ran makes a move in Carefree Capital, then he is bound to die. Do you think there are that many Chao Rans who wouldn't risk their lives?"

"All I know is that the Chaoran has already made a move... I understand now, we are bait, waiting for the Chaoran of the Taiyin Sect to attack us," Li Weiyi said.

A look of surprise appeared in Chang Yuqing's captivating phoenix eyes. "No wonder she is an outstanding figure with the potential to enter the top five of the <Longevity Earth Ranking>. To be able to fully recover her sanity in such a short time after being assassinated."

Li Weiyi's lips moved, clearly dissatisfied with the "top five" designation.

Chang Yuqing's eyes narrowed. "Constantly guarding against them is exhausting. But they are extremely cunning, and finding them is nearly impossible. Naturally, we must seize this opportunity to eliminate them as much as possible. However... we underestimated these old scoundrels. Fortunately, you were quick-witted and withstood three attacks; otherwise, Mr. Zhi might not have arrived in time. Now it seems that assassinating the Sacred Dynasty's top scholar was more like a feint, or perhaps a way to kill two birds with one stone?"

Li Weiyi quickly asked, "How is Mo Duanfeng?"

In the city area where Mo Duanfeng and Li Weiyi were attacked, battles broke out one after another, and buildings continued to collapse.

Standing on the fourth floor, Chu Yutian peered out at the shattered streets a mile away and witnessed firsthand how Li Weiyi escaped three seemingly fatal attacks. His quick reflexes impressed Chu Yutian greatly.

"In terms of strength, he may be inferior to Gu Zhenxiang, Shan Xianzhi, and Tang Wanzhou, but in a life-or-death battle, the outcome would be uncertain. He failed again!"

Chu Yutian recalled the battle in the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin. He realized that if he could have reacted and handled the situation with the same speed and ability, he should have been able to escape alive on his own.

If that were the case, Qing wouldn't have died.

Chu Yutian survived because he cultivated the Central Spring in his back, opening up an inner world in the area of his back. When the Ancient Immortal Sentinel Arrow pierced his body, it protected his internal organs.

But Qingzao had not cultivated the Central Spring.

An aged voice rang out from inside the room. "Let's go. The Demon Kingdom was well-prepared, so it's understandable that our efforts failed at the last minute. Killing Yu Yaozi's Dao Law Successor and a top scholar is no easy task. Next time, we must be extremely cautious."

Chu Yutian secretly admired the Taiyin Sect's Holy Court King inside the room, who could speak so easily of someone who had fallen from grace.

Three dragon-headed fire lions pulled the extraordinary carriage to the street where Mo Duanfeng had been assassinated.

Soldiers guarded every street and alleyway in the surrounding area, and the City Protection Formation was fully activated.

Li Weiyi got out of the car and saw Mo Duanfeng sitting in the ruins, covered in blood. The two looked at each other and then both showed smiles as if they had survived a disaster.

"That old bastard from the Taiyin Sect first made a move to restrain my godfather. Then, Nether Disciple of the underworld attacked to assassinate him. Luckily, he was wearing the Fire God Armor and carrying a life-saving talisman, otherwise he would have really been finished this time!"

Mo Duanfeng chuckled, "However, the Chaoran and Nether Disciple of the Taiyin Sect were all ambushed by the Demon Kingdom and killed. After this battle, anyone who wants to harm us will have to think carefully about whether they are more cunning than Chaoran."

Li Weiyi was moved. "A transcendent fall?"
