Thirty Li Snow, Twenty Li Sword

The magnificent carriage that drove in was over ten feet long and wide, with enough space inside to fit a bed. Jade lamps hung from the four corners of the canopy. The outermost layer of the carriage curtain was embroidered with six or seven Ancient Immortal Giant Beast patterns, making the decoration lavish and elaborate.

The Silver Horned Deer pulling the cart had antlers that shone with a silvery light. It was not only handsome, but its eyes also revealed a sharpness that only a martial arts master could possess.

The Five Seas Realm experts of the Sui Sect, like gods and Buddhas filling the sky, occupied advantageous positions throughout the courtyard, activating their magical artifacts, and beams of destructive light so bright that Li Weiyi could hardly open his eyes.

They have an extremely strong presence, and their every move influences the surrounding environment.

The martial arts practitioners who were able to come to this mansion with Yang Qingxi were all deeply involved in the events. They were eagerly anticipating the turmoil that was about to erupt in Lizhou and would not allow any surprises to occur.

Shi Liuyu sneered as he surveyed the extraordinary figures around him. He lingered his gaze on the two beautiful young female disciples of the Sui Sect for a long time, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Yang Qingxi did not get out of the car. Her cold yet melodious voice came from inside. "Shouldn't the Dharma King provide an explanation for this bloody scene before us?"

Li Weiyi had previously tested Shi Liuyu with the Thunder Law Profound Ice and, seeing that Shi Liuyu Sui Sect might have some subtle connection with the Earth Wolf King Army.

These two groups of people likely had been in contact for some time.

If I want to survive today, I must exploit the weaknesses in the character of these barbaric bandits Shi Liuyu, provoke conflict between them, and survive in the cracks.

Shi Liuyu was not a shrewd or patient person. Instead, he had the common flaws of a bandit leader: he was audacious, extremely concerned with his reputation, and could not shake the bandit's habit of disliking intrigue and scheming and only enjoying plunder and killing.

Li Weiyi deliberately whispered in Shi Liuyu's ear, "How arrogant."

Shi Liuyu reacted instantly, his eyes narrowing.

Yes, Yang Qingxi is just a junior. For him, a dignified Dharma King, not to get out of his carriage is already contemptible enough. And to go and be so aggressive in questioning him—if he were to be outdone by a mere girl today, wouldn't he lose all face?

The thought of being ridiculed by Shi Jiuzhai and Shi Qiqing, and being reprimanded by the Heavenly King, gave Shi Liuyu a headache.

Shi Liuyu to display the majesty of the Dharma King, said in a deep voice, "Such a big matter, and you send a bunch of useless people to guard it? I think they deserve to die; it's a good opportunity to teach you a lesson."

"You slaughtered my entire gang, causing rivers of blood to flow, yet the Dharma King speaks of it so lightly. If your Earth Wolf King Army doesn't provide a satisfactory explanation to the Sui Sect, this matter will not be resolved." Yang Qingxi's voice was calm, yet contained a firm and unyielding force.

Ultimately, as the leader of the younger generation of the Sui Sect, she also needs authority and prestige.

Otherwise, it will not be able to win people's hearts.

Although Shi Liuyu valued his reputation, he didn't want a small misunderstanding to cause a serious rift between the two major forces. Therefore, he looked at Li Weiyi, indicating that he should step forward and explain the whole story.

Li Weiyi understood immediately, nodded, and, despite the pressure from the Battle Intent released by the powerful experts at the Five Seas Realm, took several steps forward and said with great arrogance, "Yang Qingxi, who do you think you are? Our Dharma King is renowned throughout the Southern Region. What kind of person do you think you are that needs to explain yourself to a mere girl like you? With such arrogance, you're likely to meet a bad end in the future."

Shi Liuyu's eyes widened instantly.

"Presumptuous!"

His words naturally angered the experts of the Sui Sect.

"Court death!"

Wang Daozhen deeply respected and admired Yang Qingxi, and reacted fiercely, his figure transforming into five phantoms. He unleashed a palm strike that seemed to overwhelm everything, intending to kill Li Weiyi with a single blow.

The Wang Family is one of the seven clans of the Sui Sect. He is among the top three of the younger generation, and his cultivation level is far superior to that of Xu Changlin and Tang Yan.

Li Weiyi had no way to avoid this palm strike. He felt as if an insurmountable divine wall was pressing down on him, threatening to shatter him to pieces.

Even worse, Shi Liuyu actually stood by and watched, and Li Weiyi realized he had gone too far. In this life-or-death situation, he couldn't care less about anything else. He took a step back, spread his legs wide, channeled all his magical energy into his arms, and unleashed a fierce punch with both palms.

His palm strike, delivered with all his might, was like a leaf swaying in a storm, utterly ineffective.

"Boom!"

Li Weiyi was sent flying backward like a cannonball, flying four or five zhang away. His body crashed heavily into the stone platform under the eaves, sinking into it, and the surrounding stones were all cracked.

My arms felt like they were broken, and I couldn't lift them anymore.

All the internal organs were damaged, and blood flowed freely from his mouth.

Shi Liuyu did not make a move. Although he felt secretly pleased by Li Weiyi's insults, he could also tell that Li Weiyi was dishonest and knew that the kid had ulterior motives.

Even so, he wouldn't just stand by and watch Li Weiyi be beaten to death.

The more important reason he didn't make a move was that the palm force Li Weiyi had just unleashed had greatly surprised him, far exceeding his expectations; it was definitely strong enough to withstand Wang Daozhen's palm strike.

Is this kid really at the Spring Realm?

Seeing that a mere martial artist at the Spring Realm had survived his palm strike, Wang Daozhen was inexplicably enraged and rushed out to deliver the final blow.

"Fine, fine, fine! You dare kill those close to me? Do you even have the slightest respect for me?"

Enraged, Shi Liuyu spun Wang Daozhen strike, sending him flying. With a loud bang, Wang Daozhen crashed through the courtyard wall and the Hundred-Character Formation, falling onto the street outside.

"Roar!"

Then, Shi Liuyu roared, his voice like a dragon and tiger exploding in the void, and the magical energy he exhaled locked onto all the Five Seas Realm present.

We must demonstrate our strength to earn respect; otherwise, we will only suffer losses in future collaborations.

"Sizzle!"

He clenched his fingers into a claw, unleashing scorching power that caused the air temperature inside the mansion to rise sharply, as if submerged in boiling water. Streams of green flame, like fire dragons, spread from his fingertips, colliding with the magical artifacts held by the nine Five Seas Realm experts present.

The next instant, green flames coiled around the nine experts at the Five Seas Realm, terrifying them greatly. They tried to escape, but found themselves completely immobilized, and would likely be burned to ashes in just a few breaths.

Only now did the Sui Sect members realize how terrifying Shi Liuyu was; this demon could kill them with ease.

Li Weiyi diligently circulated his spiritual energy to heal his injuries, guessing that Shi Liuyu never let him die at the hands of the Sui Sect, because he still had value. At the same time, he realized that Shi Liuyu was not so easy to fool, and that he had been too clever for his own good today, leaving too obvious traces, which was why he had backfired.

"Is it snowing?"

A crystal-clear snowflake drifted down onto the back of Li Weiyi's hand, bringing a refreshing coolness.

The second piece, the third piece...

Heavy snow fell in a flurry, blanketing the entire hundred-acre mansion and instantly transforming the sweltering heat of July into the dead of winter. The entire atmosphere of the world changed dramatically, a truly bizarre occurrence.

The green flames that Shi Liuyu was about to unleash gradually died out amidst the flying snow.

His green eyes stared warily at the carriage frame not far away, and he muttered, "Thirty Li Snow, twenty miles of sword, the gentlemanly Yao Qian. No wonder Yang Qingxi disregards this Dharma King so much; it turns out you were in the carriage too."

Yao Qian's name truly commanded respect in the southern region, earning him the title of "the foremost among the elite in Lizhou."

He single-handedly subdued an entire generation of the Jiu Li Tribe.

Legend has it that when he fully circulates his magical energy, he can cause snow to fall within a radius of thirty miles, covering the mountains in white and freezing the rivers. His Gentleman Sword can kill someone from twenty miles away.

In other words, within thirty miles, the world will be transformed; within twenty miles, the sword will be aimed at all living beings.

How could Shi Liuyu not be wary of such a legendary figure?

Yao Qian's gentle, refined voice came from inside the carriage. "I had Qingxi stay in the carriage to warm my wine. Why should Your Majesty bother with such a trivial matter? It's just the Changlin Gang; there's no need for explanations. Just hand her over to me."

Shi Liuyu glanced at Li Weiyi, who had crawled out of the crack in the rocks and stood up again, and said with surprise, "He's just a kid at the Spring Realm. With your cultivation level, why bother with him?"

Shi Liuyu naturally wanted to protect Li Weiyi, as this involved the Jiu Li Hidden Gate.

Although the four groups are in a cooperative relationship, whoever has more information obviously has a greater advantage in the distribution of benefits. Li Weiyi has clearly become an extremely important card for the Earth Wolf King Army.

"King of Six Desires, you underestimate that brat at the Spring Realm beside you!"

Yang Qingxi's melodious voice, like the gentle murmur of flowing water, filled the car. Just hearing her voice was enough to evoke all sorts of fantasies, making one even more envious of Yao Qian inside the car, who had such a stunningly beautiful woman warming his wine.

She added, "To be able to withstand Wang Daozhen's palm strike and quickly get back on his feet, his strength is probably no less than that of the Hundred Meridian Lines All Silver Pure Immortal Body."

Shi Liuyu certainly knew what the Hundred Meridian Lines All Silver Pure Immortal Body meant; it represented the strongest combat power in the same realm and was a aptitude on par with Myriad Gate Families inheritors.

It's like the signboard of a powerful force.

Fourteen years ago, the Jiu Li Tribe was completely defeated, and no one considered them a Myriad Ancient Clan. However, because of the emergence of a Hundred Meridian Lines All Silver Pure Immortal Body with a hundred meridians, all forces now believe that the Jiu Li Tribe has been revitalized and may be able to restore the glory of the Myriad Ancient Clan in the future.

This is the influence of the Hundred Meridian Lines All Silver Pure Immortal Body!

Such a prodigy is unparalleled in the entire Earth Wolf King Army, from top to bottom.

Shi Liuyu looked at Li Weiyi in surprise. This kid's talent had actually reached this level? No wonder the Jiu Li Hidden Gate valued him so much and sent him to Jiu Li City for trials. They were definitely not training him as an ordinary disciple.

"With a mortal body, his combat power is comparable to Hundred Meridian Lines All Silver Pure Immortal Body; this is only a small part of the secrets he possesses."

Yao Qian hadn't gotten out of the car, but it seemed his eyes were everywhere, able to reconstruct the entire battlefield. He continued, "The Thirty-three Word Departed Spirit Battle Formation was broken by a high-level magic weapon, and its aura hasn't completely dissipated. Many of the corpses on the ground were killed by ferocious insects. Although the bodies of Shi Chuan Yu, Xu Changlin, and Tang Yan have been cleared away, their bloodstains are still on the ground. If this was truly his doing alone, the secrets he holds are probably beyond imagination."

Li Weiyi felt a chill run through him, his whole body turning ice-cold. As he looked at the luxurious carriage, he felt as if the person sitting inside was not a human being, but a god, a demon.

Only gods or demons can see through all the illusions of the world and find the accurate answers in the smallest details.

This terror doesn't stem from the opponent's unparalleled cultivation level, but rather from their insight and wisdom capable of shattering all his pretenses.

Yang Qingxi's voice followed closely. "Three of his companions who studied cultivation at the Jiuli Dao Academy and the Cangli Clan have already completed the transformation into pure immortal bodies. This group of people must be hiding some unknown secret. And I believe the culmination of all secrets lies with Li Weiyi. Handing him over to us will bring an explanation for everything that has happened here."

Li Weiyi's expression turned even uglier as he realized that his senior brother, Senior Sister Cai, and Gao Huan had always been within the reach of the enemy forces.

Shi Liuyu looked at Li Weiyi with a deep and cold gaze, the chill growing stronger with each passing moment.

This kid has been hiding too much from him; how much of the truth is actually out there?

A deep, smiling voice came from outside the door, "Since he has so many incredible secrets, why should we hand him over to your Sui Sect? The Earth Wolf King Army is also very interested in unlocking his secrets."

Shi Jiuzhai was the first to walk in.

Shi Shishi followed closely behind.

Shi Liuyu thought Shi Jiuzhai's words made sense, "To enable several people to undergo a Pure Immortal Body transformation, I believe the Heavenly King will be very interested. Ninth Brother, Tenth Brother, you take the people away first, I'll cover the rear."
