Chapter 397: The Holy Infant Dies and the Demon Child Appears
Li Weiyi looked at the Third Palace Master in the distance. He couldn't see her face clearly. Under the dazzling light, he could only see a vague and slender figure, like a god descending to the earth.
The fluctuations of mental power are strong, and it is an existence that dominates the entire world.
Countless martial artists on the ground were frightened by the aura and knelt down in unison.
Among the lush green trees of the six demon mountains, you can see temples, stone towers, caves and other buildings. There are also some buildings that are extremely ancient and magnificent, shrouded in the light of formations and the mist of scriptures. They are the demon mansions left by the ancient emperor Liu Nian Xin Mo.
Only a few old ruins and ancient temples are left in the Demon God's residence. The tiles are black, the walls are carved with evil ghosts, the bones of ancient immortals and giant beasts are used as pillars, and demonic energy and Buddha's light coexist.
"Welcome the Third Palace Master to the Zen Temple! An old friend wants to invite the Palace Master to have a drink and has been waiting for a long time."
Zen Master Liu Nian is a monk who looks to be about 30 years old, with an eight-star seal on his head, kind eyes, and hands clasped together. He stands in a Zen temple that was converted from the Demon God's residence and salutes to the sky.
“Wow!”
The Third Palace Master drew a wisp of light mist from the Nine Skies Clouds Array, wrapped it around her body, and fell into the Zen temple. She cast her eyes towards the pavilion on the right side of Master Liu Nian. In the dim night, a solitary lamp hung on the beam.
Under the lamp, there are three figures.
The old man from the Holy Dark Family stood at the front, looking at the Third Palace Master in the center of the Zen temple.
The Li clan's Chaoran and the imperial court's Chaoran who held the battle flag faced each other across the lake, and the lake water froze into ice.
The only person sitting was a rather young figure, wearing a jade crown and green hairpin, his body looming, sometimes real and sometimes unreal, holding a chess piece, staring at the chessboard, and sighing softly: "I came to Lingxiao to see Yuyao, but unfortunately she is locked in the palace. Third Palace Master, will you play the next game with me?"
The Third Palace Master was extremely shocked. Although he had some vague guesses, he still felt caught off guard when he saw this person appear in Lingxiao City and in Liunian Zen Temple with his own eyes.
He looks young, but he is actually thousands of years old. He is a big shot from the Demonic Kingdom who even the Grand Palace Master Yu Yaozi is very wary of.
The Third Palace Master has the Nine Skies Clouds Formation, so he is not afraid of anyone in Lingxiao City. He smiled and asked, "Is your Highness's chess game on the chessboard or in Lingxiao City?"
All the immortal giants in the imperial court gathered by the lake, supporting the power of the earth veins.
…
After the Third Palace Master landed at the Zen temple, the spiritual light dissipated. Night fell on the earth again, and everything returned to peace.
"It's incredible that the Third Palace Master was alarmed. It seems that this Li Weiyi has caught her eye."
"Li Weiyi represents Lingxiao Habitat. The old fellow from the Sacred Dark Family wants to intervene. Does he think Lingxiao is not transcendent?"
The martial artists who were kneeling on the ground and watching the fight stood up one after another.
Most people did not realize the seriousness of the problem and thought that the Third Palace Master's visit was just to support Li Weiyi.
"Xie Chucai is already very strong and can defeat the seventh level of the Dao Seed Realm. The dark true spirit he raised is extremely strange. Unfortunately, he encountered Ling Xiao Tianjiao, who is legendary in both telekinesis and martial arts. He is destined to be defeated today."
"The seven-clawed flaming dragon of Jiuli Shenyin's Dao heart is beyond belief. It is said that Ge Xiantong is only a five-clawed true dragon."
Lu Wensheng of the Lei Xiao Sect sneered: "The higher your martial arts talent, the faster you die. Not only will you be envied by heaven, but also by people. The more glorious you are in the Dao Seed Realm, the more lonely you will feel when you see your peers entering the Longevity Realm one after another in the future."
This sentence resonates with me.
Now that the dust has settled, Lingxiao Living Environment has regained its reputation, and Li Weiyi is no longer valuable.
Many envious people jumped out one after another, and someone said: "I really don't understand, it's clearly jealousy, why is the fight for a woman pushed to an unwarranted height? Li Weiyi can't represent Lingxiao Life Realm, and Xie Chucai is not the number one prodigy of Du'e Temple."
"If Li Weiyi didn't use martial arts, he wouldn't be a match for Xie Chucai. A mind master can never be better than a martial arts practitioner at the same level."
"The Feng Mansion's cultivation path, no matter how amazing it is, is in vain."
Zhuang Yue, who was standing next to Jiang Ning, heard the discussion behind him and gritted his teeth in anger. He turned around and said angrily, "Who said that if you cultivate the Dao in Feng Mansion, you will definitely not be able to enter the realm of immortality? There are also some legends that can do it."
Tai Shiyu said, "Xiao Li's martial arts is just for fun. His talent is not inferior to that of the young emperor. If Xie Chucai hadn't borrowed the Dark Spirit God, he would have been defeated by him. You are so capable, why didn't you take action earlier?"
Lu Cangsheng had been secretly observing the movements of the martial artists in Liunian Zen Temple, and sensed a dangerous atmosphere: "Li Weiyi exposed countless cards tonight in order to show off, I'm afraid he won't live long."
"He doesn't seem like someone who would put himself in danger just to be in the spotlight." Qin Qian added, "Big Brother, you have never made a mistake, but this time, I think you made a mistake."
"He saved you before, and I understand why you have a crush on him, so I won't argue with you." Lu Cangsheng tried his best to show his magnanimity, and immediately said, "Something is wrong, we have to leave Liunian Zen Temple as soon as possible."
In addition to Lei Xiaozong, some other martial artists sensed the strange atmosphere and immediately went down the mountain and left.
A force of imperial court came up the mountain, some wearing official robes, some wearing casual clothes.
They received a secret order to capture Li Weiyi or put him to death, so they made preparations for both scenarios.
One of the middle-aged men in casual clothes had a cold light flashing in his eyes and said with a smile: "The Yellow Dragon Sword attracts lightning, and the war spear mobilizes the brilliance of the stars. They are all rare treasures in the world. This Jiuli Shenyin is not simple, and he has a great secret."
Tai Shiyu, Jiang Ning, Ge Xiantong, the Song brothers and sisters and others all looked over and realized how deadly words could be.
Another figure in official robes said, "Liu Ru Fen Ye is a great art of the cult. It has only been two years since the Qianlong Lantern Festival, and one of those two years was spent in the underground immortal palace. In such a short time, he was able to cultivate the second level of Liu Ru Fen Ye to perfection. There is only one reasonable explanation. The rumors are true, and he must be the son of the cult. Lord Jiang, he is too suspicious, and I want to take him back for questioning."
No one heard the Third Palace Master's message to Li Weiyi.
“Zheng!”
Jiang Ning drew out the Jingyu Sword: "I have always been impartial and believe that right and wrong and reason are more important than anything else. But tonight, whoever dares to touch him, I will let him know that Jiang Ning also kills people without regard for right and wrong or reason."
Tai Shiyu glanced at the group of people behind him: "The person behind you is very powerful, right? But with me here, no one can touch him. My Taishi family is not afraid of anyone."
The real confrontation begins.
The most intense and dangerous moment has arrived. Under the calm surface of the water, a dark tide is surging.
At the top of the mountain, Li Weiyi tried every possible means, but Xie Chucai still refused to give in.
The Third Palace Master personally sent a message to him to interrogate him, which showed that the court did not find what they were looking for in the Six Thoughts Zen Temple and was in a stalemate and disadvantage. They had to find a breakthrough from Xie Chucai.
If they return empty-handed tonight, Li's life-and-death adventure and his trump card exposed will lose their value.
The imperial court must have been put in a passive position in this struggle.
Xie Chucai was lying on the ground, with countless broken bones and blood oozing from his mouth and nose. He smiled miserably and said, "Whether I tell you or not, I'll die. But I'll be happy to die in your hands. Do you know why?"
Li Weiyi stared at him calmly and realized that Xie Chucai was filled with great fear.
There must be a powerful person in Liunian Zen Temple who frightened Xie Chucai so much that he dared not say a word. If he did, he might not be the only one to die.
The Third Palace Master dared not act rashly and had to find evidence, which might be related to that powerful figure.
Who on earth is this person, so terrifying?
Xie Chucai said: "If I die in your hands, the Holy Dark Family will definitely avenge me, which means you will also die. The price you have to pay is beyond your imagination. So, I am really happy to have you buried with me."
Li Weiyi shouted down the mountain: "Go to Taichang Temple and fetch a ladle of Zimu Spring."
Xie Chucai just frowned for a moment, and then recovered in an instant. Some fears are ten or a hundred times greater than that of Zimuquan.
A long-lost voice rang out in Li Weiyi's mind: "I'll do it!"
He is a taciturn wife who protects others.
She was actually startled and came out.
Perhaps, the enemy's methods were too despicable and they were targeting women and children, so even she couldn't help but take action.
Li Weiyi's mind was in a state of confusion, and he immediately released his mental field and external image of the Dao heart, covering a very small area around him and isolating himself from the outside world.
He walked to Xie Chucai and squatted down, deliberately saying: "Drinking the Mother and Child Spring will make you live a life worse than death. Tell me the truth about the Mother and Child Spring and the ghost baby incident, and I will definitely spare your life. I swear in the name of the God of Jiuli."
Li Weiyi put his ear close to Xie Chucai's mouth and pressed his fingers between his eyebrows without leaving any trace.
A spiritual light and a chilling aura emanated from the fingertips and rushed into Xie Chucai's sea of consciousness.
After a moment.
The voice of the taciturn wife who protected the Dao echoed in Li Weiyi's mind: "He knows too little, just six words. The Holy Child dies, and the Demon Child appears."
Li Weiyi widened his eyes, quickly digested the shock in his heart, and slowly stood up.
Taking a deep breath, he looked at Xie Chucai, who was standing on the ground with a blank look in his eyes: "Don't worry, I am a man who keeps his promises. Since you told me, I won't kill you."
After stripping off the bloody clothes on Xie Chucai and taking away the silver knife and the ten magic weapons, Li Weiyi strode down the mountain. He did not feel relieved after knowing the answer, but instead felt a stronger sense of crisis.
Xie Chucai's eyes were blank and terrified. He had no idea what had just happened. He only felt his eyes were blurry and his mind was in disarray. He yelled, "No! I didn't tell him anything at all. He wanted to frame me..."
Xie Chucai was unable to move and his five limbs were severely injured.
Li Weiyi came to the mountain ridge and met up with Tai Shiyu, Jiang Ning, Ge Xiantong, Xingyuenu, Shi Jiuzhai and others.
"You actually spared his life? There will be endless troubles!" Ge Xiantong said.
Li Weiyi said half-truthfully: "I promised him, and people should keep their promises. Of course, I am only telling you these high-sounding words. The real reason is that the Jiuli tribe and I cannot afford to offend the Holy Dark Family."
Tai Shiyu nodded to show his understanding and asked, "What does he know?"
"He only told me six words. He didn't dare to say more. The Holy Infant died, and the Demon Child appeared." Li Weiyi said.
Xingyue Nu was shocked and asked, "The Holy Infant is dead?"
