Chapter 610: Divine Silence

Hearing Li Weiyi's affirmative answer, Zhao Tang and Yan Zhiruo exchanged bewilderment, thinking to themselves, "No wonder he'd faked his ancestral land's dethronement in the Daozhong realm and sought an alliance with the Zuoqiu clan." It would be a wonder the Jiuli clan could even protect a prodigy of this caliber.

Li Weiyi pulled out a five-foot-long feather arrow. It was as thick as a thumb, made of a special material, and weighed a thousand pounds. It was a thousand-character weapon-level arrow.

This arrow alone is of great value.

The feathers at the tail of the arrow are peacock feathers, which are full of demonic energy.

Yan Zhiruo knew how dangerous it was just now. If it were her, she might have been shot to pieces by the arrow, because the ordinary Thousand Words Armor could not block it at all.

"The bow used to shoot the arrow just now is definitely not of low quality. It must be at least a seventh-grade thousand-character weapon!" she said.

Zhao Tang asked, "The demon race?"

Li Weiyi shook his head slightly. "I do have a mortal enemy in the demon tribe, but how could he be so obvious? The more he tries to hide it, the more obvious it becomes. The possibility of the Demon Country is more likely."

Yan Zhiruo said, "The only ones in the Demonic Kingdom who can shoot this arrow are Xue Sanguan, Yu Qi, and the three disciples of the Emperor. Among them, Xue Sanguan and Wenren Tinghai are the most likely!"

"Given Wenren Tinghai's cultivation and personality, it would definitely not be as simple as just shooting a cold arrow from afar."

Li Weiyi put the dark red arrow into his bag.

From this moment on, the Blood Three Levels were included in his kill list.

Tang Wanzhou rushed over and saw that everyone was unharmed. He made the same judgment as Zhao Tang, thinking that the Taiyin Sect's move was deliberately to expose Li Weiyi's strength.

Rumors and seeing it with your own eyes have different impacts.

"Do you know the reason for the danger just now?" Tang Wanzhou asked Li Weiyi after listening to Yan Zhiruo's story.

In terms of combat experience, no one present could compare to Tang Wanzhou.

Li Weiyi said, "When surrounded by powerful enemies, you can only use 70% of your strength to attack, leaving 30% for emergencies. Because the opportunity was rare, I used 90% of my strength when I struck Huangfu Song, so the enemy seized the opportunity. Fortunately, I had 10% left, so I was able to turn around and dodge. If I had used 100%, the consequences would have been disastrous."

Tang Wanzhou nodded. "In the East China Sea, to assassinate Qin Zhengyang, you must be impatient and leave no room for retreat. Only then can you succeed. But in the current situation in Chuncheng, anyone who rushes will make mistakes. We must slow down, especially for you and me. You should understand what I mean, right?"

Li Weiyi looked into the distance and felt the strong fluctuations of battle.

Two figures moved rapidly out of the city from the sky, and the longevity scripture flickered like stars in the sky, as if two gods were fighting.

"Chu Yutian?"

In the underworld of Fanye Valley, Li Weiyi had once felt Chu Yutian's aura from afar.

Tang Wanzhou said, "I suspected that if we left the city to pick you and Qing Zijin up, the Taiyin Cult would definitely take action, so I asked a friend to help look after the Sentinel Army's base."

When she said the word "friend", she paused slightly, and what she really wanted to say was "ally".

"Anyone who can compete with Chu Yutian is not an ordinary person, right?" Li Weiyi said.

Tang Wanzhou said: "The first person in the past hundred years in Du'e Temple is Shen Ji."

Li Weiyi had heard a long time ago that there were two powerful immortals in Du'e Temple who could compete for the true teachings. Qi Jianru was one of them, and Shen Ji was the stronger one.

Yao Yin has a higher talent for martial arts, but he is too young, less than twenty years old.

The Sentinel Army’s base in Chuncheng was left behind by their predecessors. It has tall walls and is decorated with many formations, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

It is said that this place was once a royal palace of the ancient kingdom of Suiyuexu, but unfortunately it has long been destroyed. Except for the outer walls, everything is newly built.

When Li Weiyi walked into the base, Chang Yujian was the most excited and punched him hard in the chest.

"Hide? You can't hide it anymore, right? How does it feel to break through the realm and achieve immortality? I'm asking in vain. For people in the world, it is extremely difficult for you to break through the realm and achieve immortality, but you know very well that it's not a big deal! Haha!" Chang Yujian laughed loudly and felt happy for him.

Chi's vast body stood in the center of the courtyard, angrily saying, "It seems I'm the least talented one in the Shaoyang Division! You're all hiding, but I'm the only one who's so conceited, thinking I'll always be ranked in the upper middle."

Inside the formation, Tang Wanzhou finally relaxed and said with a smile, "Although we suffered a crushing defeat in Burning Valley, after this battle, everyone's hearts have finally come together. Without this test, we would never be able to trust each other. Without trust, there are countless flaws. A mere Taixu Clan almost wiped out our entire army."

Nangong took off his mask, revealing his peerless beauty. He spoke in a gentle tone, "Even if Jingjian sneaks into Shaoyang Division again, given our current situation, he won't be able to spread the news. If he makes any rash moves, he will be exposed."

Li Weiyi felt strange, knowing that she was talking to someone special.

The number one person in Du'e Temple, Master Shenji, controlled the twelve rings of divine light and flew to the outside of the Shaoling Army's base.

The formation is opened.

He walked in wearing a green Taoist robe. He looked familiar to everyone in Shaoyang Division and it was obvious that he moved around frequently.

He looked to be in his twenties, with his hair tied up with a wooden hairpin. He was dressed very simply and did not look at all imposing. His appearance was fine, but not stunning.

If you meet him on the street, you will just mistake him for an ordinary disciple of Du'e Temple, and you will never imagine that he is the strongest new generation of Du'e Temple who is unrivaled in the world.

After entering, Master Shen Ji started a discussion with Tang Wanzhou, focusing on the matter of the Army of the Dead.

"You are absolutely right. This is not a crisis, but a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Young Master Shen Ji possessed both the elegant and refined demeanor of a recluse and the spirit of a high-spirited and ambitious man. He continued, "Wenren Tinghaishu was short-sighted and lost himself in the vortex of power early on, unable to distinguish between primary and secondary. Gu Zhen would never be like that, but it's a pity he went to Chunze. I'll go find Qu Yao; with her intelligence and talent, she's sure to share our ideas. Inamiya... is difficult to win over, and the demon clan is even less reliable."

After the discussion, Master Shen Ji's gaze fell on Li Weiyi, his eyes full of curiosity. After thinking for a moment, he walked over.

"My name is Shen Ji. Even though I am far away in Du'e Temple, I have heard your name many times. Don't pay attention to the Taiyin Sect's flattery and criticism. Those villains can only deceive narrow-minded people. Even a small Du'e Temple can accommodate a martial arts talent like Yao Yin and a telekinetic talent like Zuoqiu Hongting. The world is so big that it can accommodate Gu Zhenli, Tang Wanzhou, and you and me. There are mountains beyond mountains and there are heavens beyond heavens. Don't compete with anyone but yourself." He said.

Li Weiyi liked people like him who could speak out everything, so he smiled and said, "A small Du'e Temple?"

"Compared with the world, I am small! However, this is said by a disciple of Du'e Temple. Others must not say it, or I will beat him. Goodbye!" Master Shen Ji prepared to leave.

Li Weiyi's heart moved, and he asked, "Master Shenji, are you interested in the location of the true teachings of Du'e Temple?"

Everyone present could hear that there was something else behind his words.

Master Shen Ji smiled and asked, "Are you asking this on behalf of Zuoqiu Hongting or Yao Yin?"

"I asked first." Li Weiyi said.

Young Master Shen Ji said calmly, "I'm ninety-three years old this year! Even if I snatch the position of True Inheritor from them, no one in the world would look down on me. At Du'e Temple, I can get all the resources that a True Inheritor can get. Let's give that position to the young people. Du'e Temple will be prosperous for the next sixty years under the new generation. Does this question and answer reassure you? What's your answer? You'd better not answer, so as not to intensify the conflicts within our Du'e Temple."

Young Master Shen Ji walked out of the formation and disappeared in the dark spiritual mist.

Li Weiyi sighed, "Those who reach the top level are not simple people! I can understand why someone as arrogant as you can call him a friend."

"You don't seem very happy?" Tang Wanzhou smiled.

Li Weiyi said frankly: "Yes, after all, I was your only friend before."

"Friends? I'm so sorry. I'm different now than before. I have many more friends. Nangong, Zhao Tang, and Yan Zhiruo are all my good friends. I also inexplicably gained a few powerful enemies, such as Inamiya Zhenchuan."

Tang Wanzhou's smile disappeared from his face and he walked straight into the barracks.

Li Weiyi met everyone's strange and curious gazes and pointed at Chi Haohan, Chang Yujian, and Liu Ye: "What's wrong with the three of you? You are not qualified to be Shengsi's friends?"

He followed in quickly, releasing magical energy to isolate himself from the outside world.

Tang Wanzhou stood by the window, looking outside, but his thoughts were in his heart, observing himself.

"Did you fight with Inamiya Shinchuan again?" Li Weiyi asked.

"That's right! If Nangong hadn't saved me, I would have been beaten to death by her. You would never have imagined who she is in your dreams." Tang Wanzhou said.

Li Weiyi smiled bitterly: "I might know."

Tang Wanzhou turned around and looked at him with a surprised look.

After a long silence, she took out the medicine box and placed it on the table. "I've only found two 5,000-year-old medicinal herbs so far. I owe you two."

Five thousand year old refined medicine can be called a spiritual medicine, and its quality is completely different. Although it is impossible to allow the seven Phoenix Wing Moth Kings to break through the realm directly, it can send them a big step forward, shortening the time it takes to break through to the second realm.

Li Weiyi asked, "You got hurt while picking? Given our relationship, why do we have to be so specific?"

Tang Wanzhou had no intention of answering his question. He turned and looked out the window again. After a long moment, he sighed, "I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so impulsive that day. After that, I suddenly realized how small my heart had become! You know, I deliberately said the word 'friend' earlier to see if you would mind. Do you think this is the courage a young master should have?"

Li Weiyi could sense her emotional fluctuations. He slowly stepped forward and gently hugged her from behind, his hands resting on her slender and resilient waist. "Do you care so much about the word 'young master'?"

"If I stop caring one day, then Tang Wanzhou will be at least half dead." She added: "You know, when I was inexplicably beaten by Inamiya Shinchuan, I even felt like a concubine, but she was obviously nothing."

"Is it really so inexplicable?" Li Weiyi had doubts in his mind, thinking that Tang Wanzhou had not told the whole story.

He is not that self-righteous and knows that he is not that important. There must be something hidden.

Just like the dispute between Zuoqiu Hongting and Yao Yin over the true teachings, it actually had almost nothing to do with him. It was the situation that pushed them to that position.

Of all the women, Li Weiyi only truly felt the deep and restrained emotions between men and women with Tang Wanzhou. The others seemed to be standing outside the boundaries, hazy and cautious, both sides carefully maintaining their distance.

Tang Wanzhou said, "When I was an adult, my mother told me that there are the same number of men and women in this world, but the emotional distribution between ten men and ten women is never fair, one-to-one. Instead, ten men love one woman, and ten women love one man. The rest are just compromises!"

"She said, you either have to be one of those ten women, compromise, or don't get emotional."

"I had always chosen the last option. It's all because of the Six Mind Mantra. I shouldn't have gone to the underground immortal palace. Okay, I'm done venting my emotions!"

Tang Wanzhou wrestled Li Weiyi's arms away. The resentment he had previously displayed was gone, and he regained his seriousness and wisdom. "With the power of Shaoyang Star, how long will it take you to break the Soul-Returning Chain?"

"It will take at least one or two years." Li Weiyi said.

Tang Wanzhou said, "Nangong and I have reached a deal. People from the Ancient Suiyue Clan should come here secretly in the next few days."

(Begging for monthly votes every month is annoying, and I get annoyed too. This month I won't bother you all, and will try to add more chapters to see if I can stick to it. For every 10,000 monthly votes, I'll add one chapter!

Everyone knows that Lao Yu types very slowly, and 6,000 words is actually his limit! So, I’ll give it a try this month. If I can’t handle it, I won’t try next month.)
