Chapter 542: Dongxu Camp
"It's not easy to answer this question."
Li Weiyi really didn't know how to explain it.
But Old Qin understood instantly and nodded, "Don't worry, it was my fault. The Grand Palace Master must have issued a gag order. But next time, you have to at least warn us. If we accidentally offend the Grand Palace Master, wouldn't we be doomed?"
The Hidden Lord nodded in agreement, "We don't seek merit, but we do seek to avoid mistakes. Even though the Snow Sword Tang Court, Zuoqiu Clan, and Thunder Sky Sect are currently in great glory, once the Grand Palace Master reaches the level of an Emperor, they will all bow down to him."
Qin Laodao said, "I'm glad nothing serious happened. The East China Sea is in chaos right now, so you must be extremely cautious. Weiyi, can we talk privately?"
Li Weiyi thought of the war corpse in the boundary bag: "That's exactly what I meant."
The two of them used their skills to reach the beach.
Dusk falls and waves crash against the rocks.
Li Weiyi took out the war corpse from the bag and told the dead what happened in the netherworld.
Elder Qin immediately examined the corpse on the ground. "He's been transformed into an iron corpse. They started the process while he was still alive. It's indeed the Taiyin Sect's method. What a pity! His face has been transformed beyond recognition, his body is filled with corpse blood, and his aura has completely changed. It's impossible to tell who he is. How do you know he's from the Sentinel Army?"
"He swallowed the whistle into his stomach for some reason." Li Weiyi took out the whistle.
Qin Lao immediately took the whistle and said, "Excellent! Each sentinel's whistle is specially made. Once we bring it back to the Dongxu Camp, we can find out their identities. He must know that the Taiyin Cult plucked his skin in order to infiltrate the Dongxu Camp. So, this is how we preserve the clues. Good boy, you have done a great job!"
Seeing that Old Qin didn't look too nervous or worried, Li Weiyi couldn't help but ask, "Isn't Dongxu Camp very dangerous right now?"
Li Weiyi was unable to tell the secret technique of "Dripping Blood to Awaken the Corpse", but Zhan Shi said in the awakened state that Taiyin Sect wanted to overthrow Dongxu Camp.
Qin Laodao said, "The Netherworld of the Dead cultivated the Taiyin Cult precisely to counter the Sentinel Army. The two sides have clashed countless times and understand each other well. This is also why the identities of the Sentinel Army cannot be revealed. If so, they will be assassinated by the Taiyin Cult."
"If it were so easy to infiltrate the Cave Ruins Camp, it would have been destroyed by the Netherworld of the Dead long ago."
"This time in the East China Sea, a large number of sentinels perished, posing a significant risk of exposure. We've abandoned the old camp and built it as bait. All the new recruits are stationed in the new camp."
Li Weiyi asked, "The identities and whereabouts of the sentinel spirits are all secret. Why are there so many sentinel spirits dying?"
Qin Lao's eyes were gloomy. "Don't worry about this matter. Shao Zun is investigating it personally, and the truth will soon be revealed. You are not scared, are you? Kui Shou has already discussed your case with Shao Zun. You can join the camp at any time."
"Master is in Dongxu Camp?" Li Weiyi asked.
Qin Laodao said: "I was listening nearby at the time, and it seemed that Kuishou and Shaozun were former Shaoling teammates, and they had a deep friendship."
Ling Xiao's habitat was definitely not a place to stay. The Sentinel Army was indeed a good place to go. Besides, the curse on Yu'er still needed the help of the Soul-Burning Heavenly Fire.
…
"Yao Yin, I will go to Du'e Temple to find you. If Zuoqiu Hongting bullies you, tell me my name."
"I'm afraid if I tell you your name, I'll get beaten even harder. But I won't be afraid of a fight for the true inheritance."
Li Weiyi said goodbye to Yinjun, Yaoyin and Yin Twenty-four, claiming that he would go with Qin Lao to meet Kuishou and enter the realm of the dead for training.
"Lao Li, send a hermit elder to guard Yuelong Island."
Before leaving, Li Weiyi made this request because Elder Qin told him that the teleportation array at the Yuelong Island outpost was the closest to Lingxiao Habitat.
Half an hour later, Li Weiyi followed Qin Lao to the north cliff of Yuelong Island, the outpost of the Shaoling Army.
The outpost is very simple, built with blue stone slabs. Usually, there is only a low-ranking sentry spirit and several sentries stationed there.
"Why, do you regret it? Are you reluctant to part with your beloved? Are you afraid of the cold and miserable underworld of the dead?" Seeing that Li Weiyi, who was following behind him, was in a rather depressed mood, Qin Lao teased him.
Li Weiyi was thinking about how to arrange for Yu'er.
She is just a little girl, and it is definitely not possible to keep her locked up in the blood mud space.
Li Weiyi followed Old Qin into the white mist behind the outpost. "How can these two be considered gentle and kind? One is skinny, the other fierce. Does every outpost have a teleportation array?"
Passing through the white fog, on a flat ground, a space teleportation array with a diameter of four meters appeared in front of Li Weiyi.
The blood of ancient immortal beasts flows in the grooves of the ground.
"What are you thinking? Only a few Imperial Mind Masters can set up space teleportation arrays. Each one is extremely precious. Destroying one means one less. Every teleportation consumes a lot of blood crystals and the blood of ancient immortal beasts. It's very expensive."
Old Qin placed a blood crystal in the groove of the ground array platform. "Apart from missions, every time you use the space teleportation array, you have to prepare blood crystals yourself. Look, this old man spent ten million Yongquan coins on this trip. How many houses can I buy with it?"
"The space teleportation array system of Dongxu Camp was built by Wu Tianzi back then. It's said that there were originally 100 of them."
"At most, we can only activate ten of them now. Some must be destroyed, and some must be hidden to avoid being exposed and destroyed by the Dead Spirits and the Taiyin Cult."
Chanhai Guanwu's attainments in space and telekinesis must be extraordinary, otherwise how could he refine three hundred sets of governor's robes at one time and have the ability to teleport through space?
"Okay, come in!"
After making all the arrangements, Elder Qin released a spiritual light from his brows and activated the formation platform under his feet: "You don't have any living people in your realm bag, right? We'll check it when we get to the Dongxu Camp."
"Do seven strange insects count?"
Li Weiyi had long anticipated that entering and leaving the Dongxu Camp might be as strict as entering and leaving the Rice Sect headquarters, and had already transferred important items to the blood mud space.
"Put them outside the insect bag to prevent it from bursting. That would be a big loss! There have been precedents of insect bags bursting during space teleportation." Old Qin reminded.
“Wow!”
The array platform emitted a bright light, followed by strong spatial fluctuations.
A feeling of weightlessness came over me.
Li Weiyi closed his eyes and sensed carefully.
This time, the time of space transmission was much longer than that at the Rice Sect headquarters.
After about ten breaths, the light at the edge of the teleportation array gradually faded.
Li Weiyi opened his eyes and saw that Old Qin had already walked out of the teleportation array. He called out "Ahe" in a long voice, and then greeted a woman in her forties who was sitting not far from the array platform with a warm and familiar look.
But the other party didn't like him very much. He said coldly and businesslike, "First, check the boundary bag, then look into the suspended mirror, and leave a drop of blood before you can leave the teleportation hall. Who are you bringing this time? You have violated the most violations in the entire Dongxu Camp."
The woman's name was Yu He. She wore a green robe and no jewelry. She held a red pen and sat behind the desk, registering the names.
Her pair of cold eyes, which seemed to have the terrifying power to penetrate people's souls, stared at Li Weiyi.
Li Weiyi seriously suspected that she had practiced a secret technique similar to the Tiantongyan. He felt uncomfortable all over, as if she could see through him.
Old Qin straightened his spine and raised his chin to the sky: "I have not violated any rules this time. This boy is the one that Shao Zun specifically requested."
Yu He rolled his eyes, clearly unconvinced. "The recruitment period for this Sentinel class has passed. No one can recruit. The recruit trials are over. Send them back quickly."
Old Qin finally caught the chance to show his face and refused to let it go. He pointed at Li Weiyi and said, "Those new recruits? Do you believe that the top ten Sentinel Trial scores combined are not as good as him? Do you know who defeated Inamiya Zhenchuan? Hehe!"
Yu He was in charge of collating intelligence from the Dongxu Camp. Someone came to mind, and his gaze fell on Li Weiyi again, his eyes much more cautious. "The disciple that Yu Yaozi accepted?"
“Wow!”
The light of the teleportation array lit up again.
Immediately, dozens of figures appeared on the platform, all wearing black armor, both men and women, nearly half of them had pure immortal bodies, all of them were extremely young and full of energy.
Even if they restrained their aura, Li Weiyi could still feel the strong aura from them.
They walked out of the formation platform quietly and seriously, heading out of the teleportation hall.
“Wow! Wow…”
The mirror was hanging in the air, and rays of light fell down one after another.
Li Weiyi saw the figures of Tang Zhan and Song Yulou. They both glanced at him, nodded slightly, did not dare to speak, and left quickly.
Tang Zhan has clearly broken through to the realm of immortality.
Li Weiyi asked, "Are they all in the realm of immortality?"
Old Qin nodded. "They are lower-rank sentinels of the first realm, from the twenty habitats surrounding the Ghost City of Cave Ruins. What you saw are only some of this generation's lower-rank sentinels, who have just returned from the trials in the Netherworld of the Dead."
Li Weiyi was secretly shocked. There were thirty-eight people who just walked past.
Thirty-eight martial artists in the realm of immortality?
In the Sentinel Army, Daozhong Realm martial artists are generally “Sentinels”, and only Changsheng Realm martial artists can become “Sentinel Spirits”.
It is divided into:
Lower-class sentry, middle-class sentry, and upper-class sentry.
Low-grade sentinel spirits, medium-grade sentinel spirits, and high-grade sentinel spirits.
Below the seventh level of Daozhong Realm are all newly enlisted low-ranking sentinels.
To become a Superior Sentinel, one must be a top-tier Dao Seed Realm expert. For example, the top ten recruits in the trial can directly become Superior Sentinels.
If other middle-level sentinels want to become senior sentinels, they must accumulate enough merits and then participate in the senior sentinel assessment, which is extremely difficult.
Upon learning that the person Qin Lao brought was "Li Weiyi", Yu He let him go directly after the inspection. It was obvious that the higher-ups had already given instructions.
Li Weiyi put the seven Phoenix-winged Moth Kings back into the insect bag.
Followed behind Old Qin and walked out of the teleportation hall.
Outside, the sun was shining brightly, bringing warmth to the eyes. Green, sacred mountains rose one after another, clouds formed bridges, and the air was thick with Dharma. It didn't feel like the realm of the dead.
Li Weiyi looked up and saw a huge round mirror suspended in the air, with a beam of light falling down.
After being illuminated by the Hanging Sky Mirror, Elder Qin enveloped Li Weiyi in his magical energy and flew to the top of a sacred mountain. "The Sentry Master is not here. Come with me to see the Deputy Sentry Master first, then we can collect other items and complete the procedures for entering the camp."
Li Weiyi turned around and glanced down at the teleportation hall, the ravines in the mountains, the martial arts training grounds, and the palace and tower buildings that were getting farther and farther away. "This is different from what I imagined. I thought the cave ruins were built in the realm of the dead. Now it looks more like a fairyland."
"It's built in the realm of the dead. How can everyone practice?"
Old Qin continued, "This new camp was built on the site of an old Yizong clan on the edge of the Chiming Realm, right next to the Netherworld of the Dead. Otherwise, why do you think the environment is so elegant? I suggested moving here a long time ago. The Chiming Realm is a medium-to-large-scale habitat with a population of billions. It's very prosperous and bustling. This business, oh my!"
"Chi Ming Realm, can this be said?" Li Weiyi asked.
Qin Laodao said, "What can I not tell you? But please don't say anything nonsense. The exact location of Dongxu Camp is only known by the veteran sentinel spirits."
Li Weiyi finally realized the value of the words "You are the one who has violated the most rules."
