Chapter 150 Meeting in Zhizhou

Walking forward, Li Weiyi knocked on it with the back of his knife.

The ember spirit on the ground had a body that looked like it was made of ash, and sparks would constantly explode from its inside when it was hit.

Zenhai Guanwu studied Chi Yongsheng's corpse and said, "The essence of the ember spirit is not a dead spirit, but a kind of evil spirit. Of course, it has intelligence. This way of dealing with it... is similar to the method used by the Night Clan."

"What's the meaning?"

Li Weiyi walked quickly to her side and found that Chi Yongsheng had already died, with no signs of life on his body.

"Ask your Master Jar. He knows the Night Clan better than I do."

Zen Hai Guan Wu walked towards the Cinder Spirit on the ground, hung his five fingers above its head, and threads of spiritual light shot out from his fingertips, penetrating into its body, trying to seize its soul and find some unknown answers.

Master Guan's voice came out: "The Yuwen clan of the Night Clan is the descendant of the ancient Emperor Ye Huang. Thousands of years ago, they were an ancient clan with millions of people that could be compared to the Jiuli Clan."

"What Wu Tianzi meant just now is that after Chi Yongsheng died, the Cinder Spirit took over his body, and the method used to deal with the body came from the Night Clan, and it is called the Human Skin Induction Magic."

"From the outside, there are no visible signs of wounds on the body, and there is no demonic energy leaking out."

Li Weiyi said, "I heard that the Night City Cavalry, one of the three great barbarians in the southern border, is hiding in the Land of the Dead. Their leader is named Yuwen Yan. Could it be that this group of barbarians is the descendant of the Night Clan from a thousand years ago?"

"I'm afraid so." said Master Guan.

The more Li Weiyi thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong: "Strange, this is clearly not the Ash Region, how could there be Ember Spirits? How did the people from Night City get mixed up with the Ember Spirits? Could it be that they are ambushing the young martial artists from various forces?"

“Crack!”

The ember spirit, whose soul was drawn by the thread of spiritual light, burst into flames and let out a piercing scream.

It quickly burned out and turned into ashes.

Chanhai Guanwu frowned slightly, said nothing, and walked towards the other four ash spirits.

“Crack! Crack!”

…

After she tortured the other four ember spirits until they exploded and turned into ashes, she finally gave up and concluded, "Their souls have all been arranged. Once someone forcibly intervenes, they will spontaneously combust."

"So nothing was gained?" Li Weiyi said.

Zenhai Guanwu said, "How could I get nothing if I personally took action? These ember spirits are from the Far West Ash Region. They were invited by Night City and Sanchen Palace. They seem to have a secret cooperation. These young martial artists nearby are not in their original plan."

Li Weiyi asked doubtfully, "Are you sure it's from Sanchen Palace? These three old men are all Wuhai Realm martial artists from Sanchen Palace."

“So what? If the dead martial artist can become the carrier of the Cinder Spirit, then his value will be maximized.” said Chan Hai Guan Wu.

Li Weiyi said seriously, "It makes sense that the Sanchen Palace dared to work with the Sui Zong to seize a state, with the support of Yecheng and Jinling behind them."

Zenhai Guanwu shook his head gently: "You underestimate the Far West Ashes. What they are eyeing is definitely not just the Lizhou state, but the entire Lingxiao habitat."

Li Weiyi said, "This is a huge trouble! Inside the Lingxiao habitat, the major human forces are fighting each other, and the demons are fanning the flames and may end up in trouble at any time. And outside the habitat, in a place that no one can see, it seems that an even more dangerous storm is brewing. We must immediately pass this news back to the Jiuli tribe!"

Chanhai Guanwu was much more relaxed than Li Weiyi and said, "What does it have to do with you? Even if the storm in the Nether Realm comes, it's not your turn to worry about it. For the two of us, improving our cultivation as quickly as possible is more important than anything else. Don't let other things get in the way."

She flew back onto Zou Wu's back.

Li Weiyi touched the corpse and took away various magic tools and treasures, then flew up and said, "How can it be irrelevant? Every man has his share of responsibility for the fate of his country. Even if we don't pay attention to the situation in the world, how can we avoid war and danger?"

"You are right, right? You have a bigger heart than even an ancient emperor like me. That's amazing."

Zenhai Guanwu turned her head and looked at him: "Why are you so far away from me? We said we wanted to try the possibility of falling in love, but you don't even have the courage to be next to each other?"

Li Weiyi was not moved, and said calmly: "Why should I stay next to Li Ling? Take advantage of a little girl in her teens? Wait until you can separate your true body, and then we can try slowly. No hurry! No hurry! No hurry..."

After walking another hundred miles, an area of ​​ash appeared at the foot of the mountains.

Everywhere you look, there is black dust and fine sand, with sand dunes piled up one after another and belts of fire winding into the depths of the netherworld, with no end in sight for more than ten miles.

"The Ash Region has spread to the Mengshan Mountains?"

Li Weiyi was in a heavy mood.

The Cinder Spirits in the Ashlands seem to be more dangerous than the Realm of the Dead, and they have great ambitions.

Zenhai Guanwu observed for a moment, then looked into the depths of the Ashes, his face serious: "No, this is not the Ashes!"

"But it is exactly the same as the Ashes Region that I have seen." Li Weiyi was very puzzled.

Chanhai Guanwu ordered Zouwu to transform into the size of a cat, and to be extremely cautious, and personally control the green Yin Banner: "Leave this place quickly, the sooner the better."

Li Weiyi had never seen her so nervous before. He was horrified and immediately became completely invisible.

After walking for dozens of miles, we were far away from the ash area.

It was only then that Chanhai Guanwu said, "That is the external image of the Dao mind! Just now, there must have been a powerful ember spirit from the Far West Ashes Region nearby. The image in its mind was projected into the real world and transformed into that Ashes Region, covering the original real landform."

Li Weiyi couldn't imagine what level of existence that was. What Chanhai Guanwu said was beyond his understanding.

The two continued on their journey.

Li Weiyi asked: "What is your current strength? Do you have the Nine Springs and Five Seas in your body?"

If anyone else asked this question, she would never respond, let alone provide any relevant information.

Chanhai Guanwu pondered for a long time: "My situation is very special. My strength depends more on how much I am willing to pay. Just like, this newly condensed body, including Li Ling's body, are actually restricting me, as well as the mysterious laws of life and the order of the Yang world. You have to know that in the heyday of the ancient emperor, if a bone could be taken off his body and thrown out, it would be enough to sink half of Lizhou."

Li Weiyi stopped and his scalp went numb with shock at her words.

"Of course, a thousand years have passed, and my body no longer has such powerful energy. How can the deceased be compared with the heyday? The heyday of the past is just a memory!" Her tone was clear, like a breeze on the snow-capped mountains and a ray of light in the fairy palace.

After encountering the unknown powerful Cinder Spirit, the two of them hurried on at full speed, wanting only to leave the realm of the dead as soon as possible.

In just six days, they traveled thousands of miles and finally arrived at the northernmost tip of the Mengshan Mountains and saw the light in the sky.

After entering Zhizhou, one of the seven states in the southern border, Li Weiyi's excitement of seeing the light of day again was soon extinguished as he finally saw the true scene of ten years of war.

After walking for two days, we passed through dozens of towns and villages, but all of them were empty. The people who survived were all old and worthless, and all of them were skinny.

There were no young people to be seen; all the men had been slaughtered and all the women had been taken away.

Not to mention the children, who were either served on the table or starved to death on the roadside.

There were no crops in the fields, which were overgrown with weeds and trees as tall as a person, and were extremely desolate.

After walking for more than two hundred miles, Li Weiyi felt very depressed and finally understood why the Jiuli people would rather pay tribute to the Coffin Mountain every year than get involved in war.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The cruelty of war is absolutely unimaginable for those who have not experienced it.

After walking for another day and night, around noon, the two arrived at a densely populated town called "Tianchi" and saw the long-lost crowds and noise.

Tianchi Town is only 40 miles away from Lizhou. There are large mines nearby and it is close to the Sui River, so it has developed transportation and commerce.

There is only one main street in the town, which is built along the Sui River. It has everything you need, including restaurants, hotels, cloth shops, brothels, rice shops, etc.

Li Weiyi walked for three days with a heavy and gloomy mood, just waiting for a mouthful of noodle soup to come back to life, and he couldn't wait any longer.

In a town with such a large population, there is definitely no shortage of noodle restaurants.

Let’s talk about everything after we finish eating the noodles.

Li Ling was wrapped in a black robe and a hooded head, not wanting to expose her pure body and cause unnecessary trouble. She sat opposite Li Weiyi, quietly waiting for him, without ordering any noodles.

She said: "Half of Zhizhou has been occupied by the strongest local force, the Li Clan. The imperial army and the Li Clan rebels have been attacking each other for years, robbing each other, and the war is still going on. Neither Licheng nor Zhizhou City is a good place to go."

Li Weiyi said as he ate noodles, "The young martial artists from all the major forces left Tianchi Town just four days ago. They were fighting as they walked, and their speed was much slower than ours. Now, they are all taking the boat to Qiuzhou!"

"Not all of them are gone!"

Li Ling said this quietly, looking at the busy street.

When Li Weiyi looked over, he was shocked at first, and then overjoyed.

Yin Shisan was walking briskly on the street. He was wearing a simple cloth robe and had a round and soft common face. He could blend in with the local people.

“Swish!”

With a flash of his body, Li Weiyi appeared in front of him.

Yin Shisan's magic energy was circulating in his body, and he almost slapped out with a palm. When he saw Li Weiyi's face clearly, he was naturally overjoyed. He hurriedly followed him into the noodle shop and ordered a bowl as well.

He used his magical energy to transmit the message: "I heard from Yin Jiu that you were captured by a ferocious and evil woman and disappeared deep in the Mengshan Mountains. You might be abducted to Youjing to be the chief husband of a tribe."

Li Weiyi didn't know that the person above the canyon that night was Yin Jiu, and was speechless: "He spread rumors like this, could it be that he wants to be a hidden person?"

Yin Shisan was stunned, then nodded: "Yin Jiu's words were a little confusing this time, unlike his usual calmness, maybe because he was injured. Even if there really is such an evil woman, she would kidnap a pure immortal man. Who would snatch ordinary-looking mortals like us?"

Li Weiyi said seriously, "I have an important matter here that I must report to Lord Yin immediately. Do you have a way to pass the message back?"

Yin Shisan's gaze fell on the woman sitting beside him who was wrapped tightly in a black robe.

Li Weiyi habitually did not avoid Chanhai Guanwu when speaking. Knowing that he had made a serious mistake, he quickly made amends: "It's okay, no need to avoid her, her ears... you know."

Yin Shisan's expression relaxed immediately, and he stopped using his magic power to transmit his voice. He smiled softly and said, "My mission this time is to cover a group of important members of the court to leave Lizhou and go to Qiuzhou. They landed in Tianchi Town to purchase a batch of supplies. I can't get away and rush back now, but I can arrange for someone to go back and deliver the letter. It depends on the importance of the news from your side."

Li Weiyi only told him the important information.

"What? Behind the Sanchen Palace is Night City and the Ember Spirit?"

Yin Shisan immediately understood the seriousness of the matter and was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. If the Jiuli tribe misjudged the strength of the Sanchen Palace, they would definitely suffer a great loss.

"Why must we pass the news back to Jiuli Hidden Gate? As long as this news is spread, it will naturally spread throughout Lizhou at the fastest speed, and it will also cause mutual suspicion between Sanchen Palace and Suizong." Li Ling said lightly.

“That makes sense.”

Yin Shisan clapped his hands in admiration, then realized something and pointed at Li Ling: "She... isn't she deaf?"

"When did I say she was deaf?"

Li Weiyi glared at Chanhai Guanwu helplessly, and then said, "Okay! Actually, she is Cangli's sister. She is one of us and can be trusted."

When he heard that it was Cangli’s sister, Yin Shisan’s dissatisfaction disappeared instantly.

He was in charge of the Five Seas affairs of the Hidden Sect, and was also a gossip collector who collected all kinds of information. Naturally, he had seen the real body of the Hidden Lord. The daughter of the Hidden Lord could still be trusted to some extent.

Of course, he would not tell the two people in front of him this secret!
