Chapter 348 Trap
Li Weiyi was meditating, trying to stabilize the light and shadow of the Fusang sacred tree and prevent it from disintegrating. At this moment, he directly absorbed the light of the Golden Crow, and the absorption speed was more than ten times the usual speed.
In the spiritual world, spiritual light grows rapidly.
“Crash!”
The light and heat waves came in wave after wave, getting stronger and stronger.
The clothes on Li Weiyi's body seemed to be made of paper and turned into ashes.
Only the governor's robe and the blood-handprint magic armor can resist it.
The skin burned and felt like it was melting. Whenever he couldn't bear it anymore, the Shenzao wood he swallowed would turn into strands of wood essence to replenish his body.
Half an hour later, the high temperature in the air waves began to subside and the light gradually dissipated.
The surface of Tanggu Sea returned to calm.
The shadow of the Fusang sacred tree that enveloped his body became much more solid. Li Weiyi opened his eyes, and his pupils were filled with fiery clouds.
In the spiritual world, the red-gold spiritual light increased in brightness and temperature.
“If I come to Tanggu Sea every day and absorb the Golden Crow’s radiance, the power of the Golden Crow flame contained in my mind power will surely increase.”
"Tomorrow, I can weave a time cocoon on the sea, and the time I can absorb the Golden Crow's light will be increased fivefold. In the near future, I should be able to cultivate to the peak of a four-star spiritual master and gain the qualification to challenge for a five-star spiritual master."
The burning pain on the skin came and became more and more intense.
Li Weiyi was instantly pulled back to the cruel reality. He realized that his body was severely burned and turned red all over. He quickly left Tangguhai.
Back to Lao Zhou’s coffin shop.
Standing in the foot-deep snow in the backyard, he breathed in the cold air, circulated his magic power to heal his wounds, and moved the essence of the sacred stove wood to refine his tendons and shape his skin.
"The body is still not strong enough to fully resist."
“One day, when I can be exposed to the radiance of the Golden Crow without any damage, that will be the true mastery of my physical body.”
The courtyard was dark and very quiet.
Calculating the time, only one day and one night had passed outside.
In other words, it is now the early morning of the third day after the great changes in Zhou Mansion.
There was thick snow on the streets.
The martial law has not been lifted yet and there are few pedestrians.
An old noodle stall, located at the entrance of the alley, had already started its business, with the sounds of pots and bowls. The three tables outside were empty.
It was still too early, the sky was just turning pale.
"Two bowls of noodles, one without green onions, and one cooked harder. How long will it take?"
Li Weiyi sat at one of the tables and asked the little girl by the stove.
"Half a quarter of an hour!" replied the little girl.
"Let's cook it first. I'll go to the bank next door to get some money."
Li Weiyi stood up and left, walking right along the street.
Although there were soldiers patrolling the streets from time to time, he was not panicked at all.
Old Zhou used his connections to get him a civil register, identifying himself as his nephew.
Across the street from the noodle stall is Hanhai Money House, one of the three strongholds of the Twin Rice Sect in Nanyanguan.
According to the records in Xu Xiangu's account book, there are twelve martial artists gathered in this stronghold, and the strongest one has reached the second level of Dao Seed Realm.
Halfway through the journey, the Seven Phoenixes flew back and fell into his sleeve.
Jiang Xin's identity was leaked, and Yao Qian must have known that it was the man who contacted Zhou Bida who did it. So, if Li Weiyi wanted to destroy the Daojiao stronghold, he had to be extremely careful.
Qifeng's body can shrink into dust and can become invisible, making her an excellent helper in reconnaissance.
Li Weiyi entered the gate and released his telekinetic field, covering the entire bank and heading straight for the bank's treasury.
Qifeng had already found out everything in advance.
“Swish!”
He held the All Things Spear in his hand, and the spear head released the Golden Crow Flame, which struck the defensive formation of the treasure house.
The light curtain of the formation vibrated and was constantly being refined.
"Who?"
The formation fluctuated, awakening the Dao Cult masters in the bank one after another, and they rushed over with their magic weapons in hand.
Li Weiyi didn't even turn his head and directly threw the evil camel bell.
The bells flew in the air, shuttling between beams, doors, windows, and human figures. The sound of the bells was very soft, but to their ears, it sounded like thunder.
All the evil thoughts in my mind began to boil over; cruelty, murderous intent, and destructive desire were particularly strong, overwhelming all other consciousness.
Behind Li Weiyi, there was a bloody battle.
“Bang!”
The light curtain of the formation was broken, and he pierced the iron door of the underground treasure house with his spear.
Li Weiyi walked into the treasury and explored it with his telekinesis.
All the coins added up to 500,000 or 600,000 Yongquan coins, which was not a small amount for him.
He took out the boundary bag, wrapped the iron box containing the coins with his magical energy, and took all of them away.
By the time he walked out of the treasury, the killing outside had ended.
All the Dao Cult martial artists fell to the ground, half of them dead, half of them crazy, all of them had distorted facial features and looked hideous and terrifying.
After taking away the boundary bags from them, I gained more than 200,000 Yongquan coins.
After silencing everyone, Li Weiyi walked out of the bank spotlessly and returned to the noodle stall.
Two bowls of hot noodle soup were served.
"Thanks!"
Li Weiyi took out his chopsticks, picked up the bowl and took a sip of the soup, then ate bowl by bowl.
The money house was filled with the smell of blood and was discovered by patrolling soldiers.
By the time a large number of troops arrived and blocked the streets, Li Weiyi had already finished two bowls of noodles and returned to the coffin shop.
As the sky brightened, more and more people walked on the streets.
Old Man Zhou came back from gathering information, looking quite excited: "A big event really happened in the Attendant Palace. The General's Mansion, the Jiang Family, and the Luantai Family joined forces to investigate for two days and dug up a lot of shocking things."
"Even the chief of the Attendant Hall of Nanyan Pass committed suicide out of fear of punishment. Some also said that he was killed in the prison of the Attendant Hall by an extremely powerful person who sneaked in."
"Now the three companies are arguing with each other, accusing each other of being responsible, in an attempt to cover up the truth."
"Haha, this time Luantai has lost all its face, slandering Deputy General Zhou for colluding with a cult, but it was proven that the deputy general was upright and upright. Even though his family was controlled by the cult, he still did not give in and did not leak any city defense information of Nanyan Pass."
Li Weiyi thought to himself that controlling his family was just a form of intimidation.
Sending Zhuxia fruit and elixir of immortality is the real inducement.
But the deal was not completed at all, so Zhou Bi naturally did not hand over the city defense information. What can be found out? At most, he can be found out that he is the hidden elder of Jiuli Hidden Sect.
But, does the court dare to announce it?
If this is made public, at a time when the entire human race must unite to fight against the demon race, it would be equivalent to killing a figure at the level of a patriarch of one of the nine major tribes of the Jiuli tribe.
The Jiuli Tribe and the Jiuli Hidden Sect can endure it if it is not announced.
It was announced deliberately to stir up conflict.
Old Man Zhou said, "The deputy general died at the hands of Luantai, but the one in question is the chief of the Attendant Hall. Now we have to see how that Yao Shaoqing will end up. The general's office will definitely take this lawsuit to Lingxiao City."
"Have Deputy General Zhou's family been rescued?" Li Weiyi asked with concern.
Old man Zhou nodded: "The young general went to Leiling City personally to rescue the people. I have just visited the deputy general's mansion. It is now crowded with soldiers who followed the deputy general. They lined up to mourn. The whole mansion is full of people."
Li Weiyi whispered, "Since the deputy general was innocent but was killed by Yao Shaoqing, we can't just wait for the general's mansion to avenge him. Elder Zhou, find a way to contact a group of people and take advantage of the fact that everyone is mourning in the deputy general's mansion to push the situation forward."
"In the future, the General's Office will report to Lingxiao City that Yao Shaoqing was so stubborn and self-righteous that he almost caused a mutiny in the Nanyan Pass army. This is the real serious crime."
"I just don't know, do you dare?"
Old man Zhou smiled bitterly: "I am already half buried in the ground, with injuries all over my body, what else can I not dare to do? Besides, considering the favor the deputy general has shown me, it is absolutely reasonable for me to do this. What can they find wrong with it? However, there is still a certain risk for you!"
Li Weiyi said bluntly: "What I want is to force Yao Qian to leave and make him unable to take care of himself. This way I will be safer! Nanyan Pass is an important transportation center. Closing it for three consecutive days is already the limit. I will not stay here any longer when the city gate is opened."
On that day, the people in the deputy general's mansion were outraged, and a large number of soldiers from Nanyan Pass went straight to the attendant palace, demanding that Yao Qian pay with his life.
By noon, thousands of city defense troops had assembled, and even the heavily disciplined Giant Spirit Army had many Five Seas soldiers rushing to help, and at one point they almost attacked the Attendants' Palace.
In the end, Yao Qian led the Luantai officials and fled back to Yuntian Fairyland in disgrace.
Li Weiyi spent the entire day in the blood mud space, opening the cocoon of time to practice telekinesis.
Late at night, he disguised himself as a middle-aged servant and went out again, preparing to attack the second base of the Twin Rice Cult.
Still following the old rules, let the Seven Phoenixes go out to investigate first.
Li Weiyi is the fourth son of the Twin Rice Cult, and he came to Nanyan Pass on behalf of Yao Qingxuan. These two points are not a secret at all. Yao Qian may have known them.
How could Yao Qian let it go after suffering such a huge loss?
Even if he escaped back to Yuntian Fairyland, he would definitely have left a backup plan.
Li Weiyi was not afraid. With Qifeng around, he could get a lot of information in advance. If there was danger, he would just retreat.
After waiting for a long time, the Seven Phoenixes did not return.
Li Weiyi's heart sank slightly. With the Seven Phoenix's ability to shrink and become invisible, even the giants of the Longevity Realm might not be able to detect it. It couldn't be that Yang Shen Realm took action personally, right? Li Weiyi believed that even if he encountered a difficult opponent, if the opponent was only a Yongquan Realm martial artist, he would never take action personally. Instead, he would use it to train the Hidden Man.
Human energy is limited.
For Yang Shenjing, dealing with the imperial court, fighting with the giants of Changshengjing, and practicing enlightenment are the real things. To him, Li Weiyi is no different from a Yongquanjing martial artist or a soldier.
So Li Weiyi didn’t believe that the person who came was Yang Shenjing.
Li Weiyi tried to increase the distance as much as possible, flew to a high place, used the Sky Eye, and looked at the Dao Sect's stronghold in the distance. After a while, he saw the clue: "It's an illusion! It seems that Qifeng is trapped in an illusion."
The person who set up the formation is very powerful, and his mental power is not inferior to his.
The Tiantong Eye saw through layer after layer of illusions and finally saw the scene in the courtyard of the stronghold clearly.
A large number of martial artists were ambushed in the stronghold, half of whom were female officials and eunuchs wearing Luantai official robes, and the attic was full of magical bows and crossbows.
Sitting in the center of the courtyard, a graceful figure in a white official robe came into view.
Due to the angle, her face could not be seen clearly, but one of the two people standing next to her was Zhuang Yue.
Fortunately, Qifeng was just lost in the illusion and had not been exposed yet, so everything in the courtyard was calm.
