Chapter 399: Heaven's Way is Clear

Lunar New Year's eve.

Tonight is the night of New Year's Eve, and every neighborhood is brightly lit and bustling with activity.

After the evil demons in the dungeon of Liunian Zen Temple escaped, they were surrounded and killed by the imperial army, which did not affect a large area. The decree to capture the demon boy has nothing to do with martial arts practitioners below the realm of immortality.

The vast majority of people in the city have no idea of ​​the truth and have complete confidence in the Lingxiao Palace. They feel that everything is under control. The city defense formation and the Jiuxiaoyunwai formation have been activated in the past.

Even if the sky falls, there are transcendent and immortal giants to support it, so the people below will not be exposed to the wind and rain.

This confidence has been built up over thousands of years and is deeply rooted.

“Swish!”

Yao Qian's outstanding figure appeared on the top of a six-story building with flying eaves.

Magical light beams burst out of his pupils, and he performed some kind of eye magic to observe the three vertical and four horizontal blocks within his field of vision, not missing a single pedestrian, every car frame, and every house.

A black carriage slowly passed by on the street below him.

A layer of light spread out from An Xianjing's fingers as she moved the beads, turning the interior of the car into an illusion. Even if one could see through it, all one would see was a family of three.

After walking a long way, the illusion dissipated.

Yao Qingxuan's appearance in Lingxiao City shows that Tuoba Butuo must have delivered the blood letter a month ago. This finally puts Li Weiyi's heart at ease.

But why did they arrive after a full month? How could he explain what he had done in Lingxiao City? Li Weiyi secretly observed An Xianjing's face.

Her appearance today is neither the absolute beauty of a pure immortal nor ugly and fierce. Instead, she has the skin of a mortal and an above-average appearance.

It is impossible to judge what she is feeling at the moment by looking at her appearance.

An Xianjing's eyes, which were always quiet, had been staring coldly at Li Weiyi since he got on the car.

This person is not just a Buddhist practitioner. His mind and temperament are unpredictable and you never know when he might kill someone in the next moment.

Li Weiyi has something to hide, it would be strange if he didn't feel any pressure.

Outside on the streets, there were sounds of firecrackers, laughter, and loud gongs and drums, as people bid farewell to the old year and welcomed the new year.

The world inside the car was like an ice cellar, terrifyingly quiet.

An Xianjing finally spoke: "Shouldn't you be happy to see us? But you seem to be very nervous at the moment. What are you afraid of?"

Li Weiyi calmed his mind and responded in silence.

Seeing his attitude, An Xianjing's eyes turned colder: "Throw him out and give him to Yao Qian."

Yao Qingxuan raised his arm, spread out the five slender fingers of his left hand, and the magical energy flowed around his fingers.

Li Weiyi immediately said, "If Palace Master An and Master had appeared in front of me a month ago, I would naturally be very happy. I would have wanted to invite you two to Tiange, eat the most expensive dishes, drink the oldest wine, serve tea and pour wine, and massage your shoulders and backs. But you only appeared a month later, how can I be happy? How can I not be nervous?"

Yao Qingxuan, who was sitting on the right side, leaning against the inside of the carriage, had a faint fragrance. Her fingers were put back into her wide sleeves with red cloud patterns. Her long hair fell on both sides of her cheeks, and her eyes were frosty. "Are you blaming us for not coming to rescue you as soon as we received the blood letter asking for help?"

"I wouldn't dare! You two are both important figures in the Divine Religion. How can I, a junior, dare to have such foolish dreams?" Li Weiyi sat there straight, not meeting their eyes, looking like he had something on his mind.

An Xianjing said: "You still have emotions? Since you got away from Nanyan Pass, why did you come to Lingxiao City? Give me a reasonable explanation!"

Li Weiyi has already thought of a solution: "If I don't come to Lingxiao City, where should I go? Back to the headquarters? I'm afraid I'll die on the way."

"If you can't give a reasonable explanation, it will be difficult for your teacher to plead for you." Yao Qingxuan sighed.

Li Weiyi was silent, with complex emotions in his eyes. After a few breaths, he said, "Maybe I... fell in love. After seeing Jiang Ning again at Nanyan Pass, especially seeing her and Xie Chucai walking together, I felt indescribably sad. I know that if I didn't come to Lingxiao City, I would probably lose her forever and might regret it for the rest of my life."

Almost everything Li Weiyi did after coming to Lingxiao City was intertwined with Jiang Ning and Xie Chucai. In addition, there were many rumors about him and Jiang Ning as early as the Qianlong Lantern Festival.

This is the most reasonable explanation! An Xianjing's eyes darkened: "Because of a woman, you have become so demented?"

"In the decisive battle at Liunian Zen Temple, how many cards did you reveal? Wasn't the lesson of Zutian being crippled heavy enough? Just because of a Jiang Ning? You really disappoint me!" Yao Qingxuan also became stern.

Li Weiyi had long guessed that the two of them must have been in Liunian Zen Temple before.

When he and Tai Shiyu drove away, the two of them were probably following nearby all the way.

Li Weiyi said: "Master..."

"Don't call me Master! The word Master made me feel like a thorn in my back under the six devil mountains of Liunian Zen Temple. You are so impressive, but I am terrified. Did she go with you in the end? If I hadn't appeared, could you really have escaped from Yao Qian?"

Yao Qingxuan's anger was mostly real. Whether it was the son of the Rice Sect or the Nine Li God Hidden Man, what Li Weiyi did this time was simply unreasonable.

Li Weiyi didn't know how deeply involved the Rice Cult was with the Demonic Kingdom, so he planned to take this opportunity to test it out: "Of course I know that I'm involved in a dangerous game. If it was just because of Jiang Ning, I wouldn't be so reckless."

Then he told the whole story of the Zimu Spring and the ghost baby incident.

He looked at An Yao and the other two and found that they were listening very attentively, with surprised expressions on their faces. He knew what was going on, so he said angrily: "The methods used by the Demon Country are too despicable! In the past twenty years, how many women in Lingxiao Living Realm have drunk from the Mother and Child Spring?"

"They are all innocent, but now they will all be transformed into neither human nor ghost. Some of those children are still babies, some are three or five years old, and some are in their prime. What have they done wrong? In an instant, all of them will be transformed into ghost babies, eating people's hearts and livers everywhere, and become monsters."

"I've been to the Taichang Temple Prison and seen the hellish scene there."

"They were once dignified and beautiful, they were mothers of children, they were daughters of others, they had dreams and aspirations, but they all became monsters locked in cages. Those who were not locked in cages fought each other, and even ate other ghost mothers."

"You haven't seen anything like that, so you can't understand how I feel."

"I know that war is cruel, and everyone will do whatever it takes to win. I'm sure you two think the same way, right?"

"But, I can't do it!"

"What I can't stand is that they specifically target women and children and use such cruel methods. They have absolutely no bottom line at all!"

“Bang!”

Li Weiyi was furious. He stood up in the car suddenly, his eyes red, veins bulging, and punched the car wall hard. "You have no bottom line, but I do! If I had a hundred chances, I would definitely challenge Xie Chucai and not kill him. I regret it now."

"If Palace Master An and Master think I did something wrong, just kill me. But I will never bow my head. I did nothing wrong. I don't care how the war is fought, but women and children must be treated as human beings. The way of heaven is clear, and karma will prevail. People can be deceived, but their hearts cannot be deceived. It is difficult to deceive heaven and earth!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Inside the car, it was quiet.

An Xianjing was originally staring at Li Weiyi's eyes, but now she lowered her eyes and stared at the Buddhist beads in her hand, occasionally raising her eyelids slightly to observe his stubborn and angry look.

Yao Qingxuan spoke first: "In your heart, are Master and Palace Master An so unbearable?"

Li Weiyi said nothing.

"Sit down."

An Xianjing scolded him, and then her tone became much softer: "What do you mean we have no bottom line? Only you have a bottom line, and you are the kindhearted, the saint? The saint who doesn't want to die and doesn't want to live?"

Li Weiyi sat back, his eyes no longer flickering, and looked at her: "I just speak my mind, and say whatever I want to say."

"You can accuse me and your master just by speaking frankly? You are so bold." An Xianjing said.

Li Weiyi sat calmly and said, "I know that the Divine Religion and the Demonic Kingdom are collaborating. I have made such a big mistake, so I think Palace Master An will definitely send me to be offered to the big shots of the Demonic Kingdom."

An Xianjing said, "You are the son of God of the Divine Religion, and the eldest disciple of Master Nan. There is no reason in the world to push your own child of destiny out to be killed by others."

Li Weiyi was stunned and looked at her.

Yao Qingxuan said: "We took a huge risk to come to Lingxiao City. Although we can't say that it was entirely for you, at least 30% to 40% of our efforts were for you, and yet you scolded us like that. If it were someone else, there would be nothing left at this moment!"

Li Weiyi smiled: "Palace Master An won't kill me?"

An Xianjing said, "The Divine Religion and the Demonic Kingdom did cooperate, but I really didn't know about the Mother and Child Spring. You said that it was Luan Sheng Lin You who leaked the news to you and has been leading you to the Six Thoughts Zen Temple, right?"

Li Weiyi nodded.

An Xianjing said: "Do you know why?"

"He wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife." Li Weiyi said.

An Xianjing said: "First, he wants to use you to stir up conflicts between the Demonic Kingdom and the Divine Religion."

"The second is to expose the power of the Demon Country to the public, so that the Third Palace Master and other powerful people in Lingxiao City can fight against the Demon Country first, consume the power of the imperial court, and turn Lingxiao City into a ruined disaster land."

"In this way, the demon race will be able to reap the benefits and seize the opportunity to attack Yuntian Fairyland. By then, the Divine Cult will be forced to take action in advance."

"It can be said that Luan Sheng Lin You is a rare opponent of yours among the younger generation. He is very intelligent and understands your character. He knows that you will definitely join the game."

"If he succeeds, the initiative of the war will be firmly in the hands of the demon race."

Li Weiyi said: "Someone in the Divine Religion revealed my identity to Luan Sheng and Lin You."

"This is your business! The younger generation is your opponent, you deal with it yourself."

An Xianjing continued, "I want to tell you that the Divine Religion, the Demonic Kingdom, the Monster Clan, and also some forces in the Netherworld of the Dead, are all in a cooperative relationship. But they all want to push the other side into the water first, and want the other side to resist the first wave of attacks from the High Heaven Palace first, in order to minimize their own losses and obtain the greatest benefits after the war."

"The demon clan wants the Demon Country to start a war with the High Heaven Palace first, forcing the three palace masters to take action. They want to expose the Divine Religion to the public, so that the imperial court and the major sects can attack it."

"We are the same. We also want the demon tribe to take action first, and we want the Demon Kingdom to fight with Lingxiao Palace first."

"In the Liunian Zen Temple, why did the man from the Demon Country compromise with the Third Palace Master and give Lingxiao Shengjing the opportunity to hunt down the demon boy? Do you see the mystery?"
