Chapter 268 Zuo Qiu Cang Wu
Half a year ago, Zuoqiu Zangwu reached the ninth level of the Dao Seed Realm and successfully took over from Zuoqiu Ling. He was the only candidate who could support this super sect during the period of the Changsheng Forbidden Martial Arts Order.
He is fifty-five years old, but looks only about thirty years old. He has never taken off the thousand-character armor on his body for five years.
Before becoming the head of the family, he had been in the Secret Realm Division for thirty years and knew that danger was everywhere. Apart from the armor on his body and the sword in his hand, no one could be completely trusted.
Upon hearing that Li Weiyi was coming to visit, Zuoqiu Zangwu immediately put down the important military affairs in his hands and said, "Please come in quickly!"
The person who brought Li Weiyi into the meeting hall was Zuoqiu Qingying, the daughter of Zuoqiu Zangwu.
She is in her early thirties, but because her talent in telekinesis is the best among the younger generation of Zuoqiu Sect, she is already a spiritual master. She looks to be around twenty years old, very young.
Zuoqiu Cangwu stood up and said with a smile: "Weiyi, it seems that you have fully recovered. It has been half a year, and everyone is very worried. Before our Zuoqiu Changshengling went to Tianya Mountain to fight the demon tribe, he repeatedly told me to take good care of you. How about it, what are your plans next?"
Li Weiyi bowed and said, "Thank you for your concern, Master. I am fine now. I came here to see the old ancestor. If he hadn't saved me half a year ago, I would have turned into dust."
Half a year before Yinjun’s request, the ancestors of Confucianism and Taoism put on several fierce performances.
The Six Desires Talisman on Li Weiyi's body was dissolved by the ancestor with a simple wave of his hand.
For the Jiuli tribe, major matters that require the involvement of nine great priests can be solved by Chaoran just by raising his hand.
Zuoqiu Cangwu's expression became serious, and then he smiled bitterly: "You are Hongting's husband, so you are naturally a core member of Zuoqiu's sect. It's okay to tell you. The ancestor is not in Taoli Mountain at the moment, most likely he went to a battlefield. What's the matter, can you tell me first? Is it important?"
"It's not a big deal! I just want to ask for a Lingtai Yanxing Stone fragment. I can buy it with money."
Li Weiyi did not hold out much hope. After all, more than a thousand years had passed. Even if there were indeed dozens of pieces, they had probably been consumed.
Zuoqiu Cangwu looked at Zuoqiu Qingying in bewilderment, and asked, "Does the sect have this resource?"
Zuoqiu Qingying pondered: "I have some impression, it seems to be an extremely precious treasure for mind masters to practice."
"Go to the gate treasury and search immediately. If there is any, bring it back quickly." Zuoqiu Zangwu then looked at Li Weiyi and said with a smile, "It's right to follow the path of a mind master. Rebuild your confidence. With the seven Junhou-level strange insects, you will still be a top-notch figure in the world in the future."
After Zuoqiu Qingying left, Li Weiyi bowed again to express his gratitude.
Zuoqiu Zangwu pulled Li Weiyi to sit down: "Just like Hongting, just call me Uncle Thirteen. As for me... hey, how do I start?"
"Uncle Thirteen, please feel free to speak." Li Weiyi said.
Zuoqiu Cangwu put away his awkward smile and said solemnly, "At the moment, the two biggest things for Zuoqiu Sect are undoubtedly the war with the demon clan faction and the strange changes in the underground immortal mansion at the junction of Qiuzhou and Fuzhou."
"In the three major battlefields in the southern border, namely, Coffin Mountain, Tianya Ridge, and Night City, we have been receiving frequent reports of victory. It is just a matter of time before we can wipe them out."
"But the weirdness of the underground immortal palace has spread from underground to the surface. Half a month ago, I went to check it out. On the Qiubei Plain, graves and tombstones emerged from the ground. They are thousands of miles wide and are growing and spreading like bamboo shoots."
"It is said that in just half a month, they advanced dozens of miles towards Qiuzhou City."
“Next year, these ancient tombs and gravestones that disappeared are expected to grow outside the city of Qiuzhou and cover the shores of Bingzuze.”
Li Weiyi had also heard about this and found it unbelievable.
Half a year ago, the Transcendent War revealed the entrance to the underground immortal palace at the junction of Qiuzhou and Fuzhou. At that time, countless martial artists went to explore, including some giants in the realm of immortality.
The strange change happened four months ago. It was said that a giant in the Immortal Realm in the Southern Territory touched the taboo there, causing a terrible disaster.
After a great earthquake, the dead buried for millions of years grew out in the form of tombstones and graves over thousands of miles of land in Fuzhou.
Later, it spread to Qiuzhou, causing panic among the people.
After the strange change, the giants of the Changsheng Realm could no longer enter the underground immortal palace! Zuoqiu Cangwu said: "Of course, these are not something we can solve. We must wait for Chaoran to take action. What we can do is to explore the situation inside the underground immortal palace as clearly as possible, so as to help Chaoran and reduce the risk."
"The greatest danger to the underground immortal palace is the dead souls and the swarms of vicious insects."
"Currently, the loss of commander-level strange insects and insect controllers is serious and they are in great shortage."
Li Weiyi asked, "Uncle Thirteen wants me to go with the team to the Underground Immortal Palace?"
Zuoqiu Zangwu shook his head and said with a smile: "I dare not let you take risks. If something goes wrong, Hong Ting will definitely not forgive me. I just want to... borrow the insect!"
Li Weiyi remained silent.
"Borrowing" in this world is not as simple as borrowing.
Zuoqiu Zangwu did not rush him and waited for Li Weiyi to think about it slowly.
Zuoqiu Qingying returned and said something to Zuoqiu Cangwu through telepathy.
Zuoqiu Zangwu frowned and said in a cold voice: "I didn't tell Elder Qi. Was it my idea?"
Zuoqiu Qingying glanced at Li Weiyi and stopped transmitting his voice: "Elder Qi said that no matter who it is, they must follow the rules of Zuoqiu Sect. Without rules, anyone can embezzle and drain the family wealth. He must keep a close eye on the door to the treasury."
"There is only one Lingtai Yanxing Stone fragment left. Who knows what great use it may have in the future. To buy it, you need at least two million Yongquan coins."
Zuoqiu Zangwu was shocked. "Why doesn't he go and rob? I have practiced hard for decades, fought in hundreds of battles, and traveled all over the secret realms. Now I have to sell all my belongings to buy him a small broken stone. The only thing is that this matter is up to Uncle Thirteen. I will go and talk to him in person tomorrow."
"Thank you very much, Uncle Thirteen. I'll take my leave first."
Li Weiyi got up and left.
Zuoqiu Zangwu, who was sitting on the chair, looked extremely deep in the eyes and said to himself, "Is it too hasty? But it's been half a year!"
Zuoqiu Qingying asked: "He didn't agree?"
Zuoqiu Cangwu nodded: "After all, they are seven Junhou-level strange insects. If it were me, I would not let them go easily."
Zuoqiu Qingying snorted coldly: "He obviously wants to follow the path of a mind master, but half a year ago, he was only a great mind master at the Earth Fire Realm. It is obvious that he is destined to never be able to cultivate to the level of a spiritual mind master. The second path is also a dead end."
"For the past six months, the entire Zuoqiu Clan has been fighting hard, either heading to the demon clan battlefield or taking risks to explore the underground immortal palace. But he took it for granted and stayed in Taoli Mountain to enjoy the peaceful years. I think he is really useless!"
"Seven Junhou-level strange insects followed him, which was a complete waste of time."
"Dad, you must help me seize these seven Junhou-level strange insects. My daughter will be able to stand on equal footing with Chao Ran in the future."
Zuoqiu Cangwu pondered and said, "He is still the hidden god of Jiuli Hidden Sect. We can't rush this matter. How about this? You go and make friends with him, and let everyone know that when he was at the lowest point in his life, it was you who stayed by his side, helped him and took care of him."
"In this case, it is very reasonable for him to... commit suicide again and give you the seven strange insects. Zuoqiu Ling, Zuoqiu Hongting, and the Jiuli tribe will not be able to find any fault with it!"
"How many pieces of Lingtai Yanxing Stone are left?"
Zuoqiu Qingying said: "In fact, the Lingtai Yanxing Stone was used up a thousand years ago, so I deliberately offered a price that he couldn't afford. Then, I can slowly control him."
…
Li Weiyi walked slowly down the mountain from the fourth level of Taoli Mountain, preparing to meet Yin Er.
When they descended to the second heaven, the Seven Phoenixes flew back and landed on his shoulder, changing from an invisible state to the size of a speck of dust, and then from the size of a speck of dust to nine inches long.
This is its innate Taoist magic!
The body shrinks and enters a state of invisibility. As long as martial artists below the immortal realm are not too close, it is difficult to detect it.
Qi Feng told Li Weiyi about the conversation between Zuoqiu Cangwu and Zuoqiu Qingying just now.
The little guy was so angry that his eyes bulged and he spoke very quickly when he spoke.
Li Weiyi stopped and looked at the endless night sky, sighing: "Seven Junhou-level strange insects are indeed too tempting. Even the head of Zuoqiu Clan is frightened. It seems that I won't stay in Taoli Mountain for long!"
North City, on the wide Lishui River.
A three-story ship hung with bone lanterns was sailing quietly southward.
On the boat, Li Weiyi and Yin Er were sitting in the second-floor cabin where a formation was set up.
Yin'er is short, with a thin face, and looks to be in his thirties or forties. He is in charge of all worldly affairs of the Jiuli Yinmen and now resides in the capital of Qiuzhou.
This was the third time the two had met in the past six months.
It's hot in July.
The banks of the river are bustling with traffic.
Yin Er was very good at observing people's expressions. He drank by himself and said with a smile, "What's wrong? You seem to be feeling a little down?"
"It's okay...give me a drink too."
Li Weiyi looked out the window and sighed.
Yin Er was slightly surprised. This was the first time that Li Weiyi took the initiative to ask for wine. He used to stay away from it.
Li Weiyi took the wine glass handed over by Yin Er and asked, "Second brother, what is your level of cultivation?"
"Me? My talent is average, and I'm only at the second level of the Dao Seed Realm. I have no hope of immortality, so leave the worldly affairs to me!" Yin Er said with a smile.
Li Weiyi said: "Others, such as Zuoqiu Cangwu, the top figure in the Daozhong realm, are still in charge of worldly affairs."
"He has no choice. The worldly affairs of the Zuoqiu Sect must be supported by a top master. Face and substance are different." Yin Erdao.
Li Weiyi drank another cup, his face slightly serious: "How is the investigation of Qi Xiao going?"
"Yinwu is investigating and has made some progress."
Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking water and people boarding the deck outside. Yin Er smiled and said, "Speak of him and he will be here! Talk to him yourself..."
The reason why Yin Er chose the river as the meeting place was because the river water could wash away all traces.
After all, Yinwu's identity is special and must not be exposed.
