Chapter 517: Sowing Dissension
Sheng Wulian's tragic defeat shocked many martial artists who had been following this battle, leaving them speechless for a long time.
That was the true teaching of the lofty ancient religion, bright and majestic, with mysterious Taoist techniques and profound magical powers. There were dozens of emperor bones in his body, and he was almost destined to step into a transcendent existence in the future. However, he was defeated miserably by a young man in Lingxiao Shengjing who was half-disabled in martial arts.
For Inamiya and the young martial artists of the Inamiya sect, there was an even more depressing feeling of having their morale severely damaged.
If the leader is humiliated, everyone is humiliated.
"Can all the Fengfu seeds be so powerful?"
The Du'e Temple's camp was located on a magical vessel, anchored in the wild land. Aboard the vessel, a young, top-level expert was in disbelief.
"That's because you haven't witnessed how powerful he was when he was at the Five Seas Realm. Unfortunately, in order to help the Zuoqiu Clan win the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival, he exposed this extraordinary talent too early, bringing disaster upon himself. Ultimately, his ancestral field was destroyed, and although it was later repaired, it could no longer cultivate the Dao."
The person who said this was a beautiful woman in Taoist robes.
She was one of the twelve patrolling immortals at the Qianlong Lantern Festival, responsible for tracking Li Weiyi and recording his battle records. Even at the Five Seas Realm, Li Weiyi had left a deep impression on her, leaving her filled with emotion.
Chang Yujian held her sword with great grace, preparing to compete for the immortal flower. "Blessing or misfortune, who can tell? Although it is regrettable, this person's telekinesis talent is also extraordinary, and his future achievements will not be low. After today's humiliating defeat, Sheng Wulian has lost all his dignity and personality. I guess he can't become a true disciple!"
The true teachings of the Daozhong realm are inherently unstable.
The true disciples may be defeated, but the Inamiya leadership cannot accept such a defeat.
…
Beneath the calm expression of the Thunder Heaven Sect's Grand Elder lay a turbulent tide. The young man's figure on the plains shone like a brilliant star, causing even this Immortal Realm cultivator to feel apprehensive and retreat.
"Fortunately... perhaps the disadvantage of Fengfu's cultivation can stop his momentum. Maybe it can..." Including the Grand Elder of Lei Xiao Sect, many martial artists are no longer sure that Li Weiyi cannot pass the Changsheng Pass.
Lu Cangsheng held his breath for a long time, and had the same thought: he hoped that Li Weiyi would be stopped by the Immortal Realm. Because he no longer had the confidence to catch up. Although he had never fought against Li Weiyi before, he felt that he had been defeated so many times that he had lost all his fighting spirit.
…
Before everyone could recover from the shock of Sheng Wulian's crushing defeat, they were stunned by Li Weiyi's subsequent actions and words.
Give the painting and the way of Sheng Wulian to Wu Hongling?
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was trying to sow discord and kill someone with a borrowed knife.
Some strong men of the older generation sneered and thought that Li Weiyi was being too clever and seeking his own death.
The purple-dressed woman beneath the golden imperial umbrella was no ordinary figure, possessing ruthless tactics. Scheming against her would only backfire.
Qin Lao, the Ancient Hermit, and many of the immortal giants of the Lingxiao Biosphere Realm all changed their expressions, believing that Li Weiyi had miscalculated this time! Blatantly dividing the Daogong disciples would only bring about fatal disaster.
"Still too young and lacking experience."
Qin Lao sighed and went to chase Li Weiyi, ready to help him escape if necessary.
The ancient hermit went up together.
The Hermit King turned around and rushed into the tent, appearing next to the sarcophagus.
They were experienced and understood the Great Immortal's mentality very well. They all sensed that a storm was coming, and that the purple-dressed woman from the Inamiya Palace would definitely take this opportunity to cause trouble, because she already had a reason to do so.
Compared to the older generation's trembling fear, Li Weiyi seemed oblivious. He collected the seven Phoenix-winged Moth Kings into his insect bag and arrived within ten miles of the golden imperial umbrella. Continuing forward, he said, "Hong Ling, to become a true disciple, you must not only have a strong character and wisdom, but also decisiveness and courage. Sheng Wulian, I have always looked down upon him. He is brave but not wise, but not as brave and wise as you."
Wu Hongling, standing next to the imperial umbrella, was dignified and beautiful, with a green belt outlining her slender waist that could be held in one hand. With her quiet and sweet expression, one's nails were about to dig into the palm of her hand. She only regretted that she had committed too many sins in her previous life and that she had mistakenly come to the East China Sea and met the thief Li in this life.
He also hated that Yujia Abyss was too dangerous, otherwise he would have jumped in at the first opportunity.
Traps, all traps.
She felt like she was being tricked by Li Weiyi. Could she take the "Life North Sea Map" in public? Li Weiyi was trying to destroy Sheng Wulian and bring disaster upon herself.
Wu Hongling quickly bowed to the purple-sleeved woman and explained, "Uncle Master, this person and I..."
"Hong Ling and him are just allies, they are not that close."
The woman in purple also bowed and spoke to the woman in purple clothes first.
Wu Hongling looked at the woman in purple with her phoenix eyes that were shining with water. She didn't understand why her sister said that. Didn't she fall into Li Weiyi's evil plan?
But her sister was always thoughtful and thorough, so she didn't object.
The woman in purple was worried that if Wu Hongling didn't accept the challenge, Li Weiyi would reveal the matter of the "Six Desires Talisman", which would be very disadvantageous to them.
Secondly, Sheng Wulian was defeated so miserably that he almost lost his position as the true successor.
As Li Weiyi said, to be a true disciple, one must be decisive and patient, but also courageous at critical moments. Otherwise, it's best not to think about that position and just accept defeat.
Thirdly, the "Map of the North Sea of Life" and the "Book of the South Mountain of Death" can indeed help them improve their talents to a higher level. If they can obtain the flower of immortality and cultivate an immortal body, there will be great hope for them to receive the true teachings.
The fourth point was the most crucial. After what happened today, if Sheng Wulian were to retrieve the "Life North Sea Map" and restore his cultivation, regardless of whether it was true or false, he would definitely do everything he could to kill Wu Hongling.
The rewards are so tempting, and the cost is so little.
The woman in purple immediately calculated the pros and cons.
The purple-clad woman's voice rang out: "Alliance? What alliance? Hong Ling, what are you planning to do?"
Wu Hongling could not see the expression of the woman in purple clothes, nor could she hear the emotion in her tone, but the woman in purple clothes gave her an affirmative look.
So, Wu Hongling said, "Uncle-master, Hongling is unwilling to accept this! If Sheng Wulian and Si Wuyan don't refine the Emperor's Bone, they won't be much stronger than us sisters."
The purple-clad woman said, "It's not good enough, it's not good enough! Without the fighting power of a young emperor, you are destined to fail in becoming a true disciple. There's no point in being unwilling."
Wu Hongling smiled bitterly.
The purple-robed woman heard the hidden meaning and said boldly, "The young emperor wasn't born; he earned it through repeated struggle. As long as we absorb the 'Map of the North Sea of Life' and the 'Scripture of the South Mountain of Death' and cultivate the 'Primordial Qi of Life and Death', our combat power will surpass that of the Living Without Love and the Dead Without Sin in the same realm. Just like the nutrients in the rice fields, whoever can absorb them best will grow stronger."
After a long silence, the purple-clad woman said, "You dare to speak out. It seems that you are really unwilling to give up and have really made up your mind."
"If I had been a little more unwilling to give up during the previous generation's battle for the true successor, perhaps that position would have been mine. Shenyi Mountain has already suffered regret once. Since you two dare to accept this challenge, how can I not fulfill your wish?"
“Once you take the ‘North Sea Chart of Life’, there’s no turning back.”
The purple-clad woman, Yu Zhenyan, was even more gifted than Wu Hongling and the purple-clad woman in front of her in her youth, a young emperor at the Dao Seed Realm. However, because she failed to secure a position as a True Disciple, she could no longer unleash the combat power of a Young Emperor at the same level in the Changsheng Realm, and the gap between her and the former Daogong True Disciple widened.
Such regret accompanied her throughout her life.
I have regretted all my life that I didn't fight hard enough back then. I lacked the determination and fighting spirit to succeed.
Wu Hongling had completely understood what was going on. She knew that her uncle was testing their resolve, so she said, "Sheng Wulian is already useless. How can a mere Si Wuyan be our opponent?"
The purple-robed woman said, "The struggle for true inheritance has always been bloody in any ancient sect. Don't ancient sects also hope that the most capable one will emerge, possessing both extraordinary combat power and outstanding means?"
…
Qin Lao appeared beside Li Weiyi like a gust of wind and grabbed his wrist. "You've got into trouble! That Dao Gong woman will never be used by you. She's a terrifying existence. She'll use this opportunity to kill you. Follow me!"
"Wait a minute, she's going to make a move, she's already made a move!"
Li Weiyi added, "With Master Coffin here, there's no need to be so nervous. I have another trump card!"
The 400-year-old Ancient Hermit appeared a hundred feet away, communicating with the purple-sleeved woman via telepathy. Even he had no confidence in facing Yu Zhenyan.
Yu Zhenyan's voice rang out: "If we interfere too much in young people's affairs, they will never grow up."
Gu Zhiyinjun and Qin Lao were both stunned. Is this guy going to ignore it?
Such a profound state of mind and such a peaceful personality?
The purple-clothed woman and Wu Hongling transformed into two graceful figures and appeared on the field several miles away, facing Li Weiyi about ten feet away.
Wu Hongling released her Dao Heart's outer manifestation, her face as white as jade, a captivating smile playing across her face. She transmitted her voice, "Your tactic of sowing discord is truly not very clever. If I don't accept the 'Life North Sea Map', you will lose face and even your life will be in danger."
"Aren't you here?" Li Weiyi said.
Wu Hongling said: "Is it here to take the picture? I can also come to kill you."
"Kill me, why put on such a charming smile? It's tiring to be hypocritical, let's get down to business." Li Weiyi said.
Wu Hongling was speechless for a moment, her smile became even wider, as beautiful as jade, and she really wanted to hit him.
The purple-robed woman said, "Thank you, Li Shenyin, for helping Hong Ling fight for the true teachings. This friendship has been witnessed by everyone in the world! If you help others to the end and perform the act to the end, it will surely become a legend."
"Auntie is still the best to talk to."
Li Weiyi looked at the woman in purple and asked, "How do you want to act, Auntie?"
With the three of them being able to communicate with each other at their current level of cultivation, and with the protection of the Dao Heart's external manifestation, even the giants in the Longevity Realm would have no chance of knowing what they were talking about.
All that could be seen was that they were smiling and in perfect harmony, as if they were reminiscing about the past, or secretly discussing how to take down Si Wuyan next.
Qin Lao and Gu Zhiyinjun retreated to a distance, both lost in thought, thinking about various possibilities.
The final conclusion was that Li Weiyi had actually been involved with the proud daughter of Inamiya for a long time. Otherwise, how could he be so sure that the two seductive women would definitely accept this malicious gift?
There was a chill in Si Wuyan's eyes, and his expression was half-smile. He was certain in his heart that their next target would be him.
Zhenxin stood nearby and said, "Li Weiyi and Wu Hongling must have been having an affair during the days they disappeared. The rumors are indeed true. We underestimated their ambitions before."
Sheng Wulian was brought back by Yao Qian and handed over to Si Wuyan, who left with the words "Li Weiwei's victory was not glorious" and left.
Si Wuyan said: "As long as we haven't left the East China Sea, who will have the last laugh is unknown."
…
The purple-clad woman wore a veil, her white hair shone, and her eyes were clear as water: "Since Li Shenyin is so devoted to us, if he doesn't help us fight for the immortal flower, this show will be too fake!"
"What are my benefits?" Li Weiyi asked.
The purple-robed woman said, "We will eliminate Sheng Wulian and Si Wuyan, so that you no longer have any worries. Otherwise, even if you don't fear the revenge of the two true disciples, none of those who are close to you will be safe. For example, Zuoqiu Hongting, Yao Yin, Cang Li, Li Jiufu..."
This is why Li Weiyi must kill without love and die without regret.
He had already seriously offended the two of them, and their identities as true disciples could mobilize enormous power, but Li Weiyi was unable to kill them.
We can only take advantage of Wu Hongling and the purple-clothed woman’s ambitions to get rid of them.
The woman in purple saw through this and used it as a bargaining chip.
