Chapter 559 Before Departure
"I arrived a few days late and missed the most sensational meeting of the younger generation."
Lu Jingchen continued, "Later, I visited the Daomu Pagoda where the immortal tomb is located. I didn't see her in person, but I knew she was extremely powerful and her aura was heaven-shaking. I know what Brother Li is suspecting. Judging from her cultivation level, she definitely can't be the person you're looking for."
Since Lu Jingchen had investigated Li Weiyi, he naturally knew that the ancestor of the Jiang family in Lingxiao Shengjing was the former master of the Tianxia Hall of the Dao Sect. He also knew about the friendship between Li Weiyi and Jiang Ning.
Just by asking casually, the other party saw through my purpose.
The two Lu brothers' personalities and dispositions were profoundly different. Li Weiyi, his eyes perplexed, asked, "The greatest conflict in the world is the struggle between life and death. The greatest threat to all living things is the realm of the dead. It's a matter of survival, a constant sword hanging over our heads."
"I'm very curious. Since the Taiyin Cult serves the Netherworld of the Dead, logically speaking, they should be the enemy of all living realms, and the most hated enemy of humanity."
"Why does Chu Yutian dare to appear in Dragon City so openly?"
Lu Jingchen said, "There are many different opinions, and it's hard to tell what the truth is. Currently, there are two theories that I think are quite reliable."
"The first theory is that Inamiya's two successive successors were defeated, both of them making a huge joke. The third time he appointed a successor, he must fight to make a name for himself and restore his prestige. That's why he chose Chu Yutian as his opponent, and lured him to Dragon City with the intention of trading the Dragon Soul Source Light to kill him."
"But, failed!"
"The second theory is that Dao Gong Zhen Chuan and Chu Yutian were completely unaware of each other's identities when they traded the Dragon Soul Source Light in Dragon City. However, they quickly figured it out. As a result, Chu Yutian's true identity spread throughout all the major habitats within a few days, and he could no longer publicly reveal his true identity."
Lu Jingchen continued, "The specific truth is probably only known by the parties involved. But in this battle between Daogong Zhenchuan and Chu Yutian, each had a winner and a loser."
"Chu Yutian must have obtained the Dragon Soul Source Light, but his true appearance was exposed."
"The Daogong True Transmission failed to kill the opponent in Dragon City, and Chu Yutian, who obtained the Dragon Soul Source Light, will surely make a great step forward in his cultivation. Of course, with the methods of the Taiyin Sect True Transmission, I think it will not be difficult to obtain the Dragon Soul Source Light from elsewhere."
When the ancient immortal dragon skeleton was excavated, many martial artists in the immortal realm were able to obtain the dragon soul source light.
Li Weiyi obtained a ball when he killed Yao Qian, and it would be even easier for Chu Yutian to obtain it with his cultivation level.
In Li Weiyi's opinion, the biggest failure was that Daogong Zhenchuan failed to kill Chu Yutian in Longcheng. Of course, the premise is that Daogong Zhenchuan has the courage to do so.
After all, killing Chu Yutian would only bring disadvantages, apart from earning fame and reshaping Inamiya's image.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Li Weiyi's mind.
Could the secret treasure sent by Qin Zhengyang be the reason why Chu Yutian was able to escape from Longcheng?
Lu Jingchen obviously didn't know the secret that "Qin Zhengyang and Dao Gong Zhenchuan traded a secret treasure during the Lantern Festival", because this news was sent back by a master of the Shaoling Army lurking in the Taiyin Sect, and it was extremely confidential.
…
It is four quarters past the hour of Xu, and there are still two hours until midnight.
Li Weiyi drove out of Tiange and headed for the demon clan's territory in Longcheng.
After reaching the Holy Spirit Mind Master realm, even without releasing Mind Power, one's perception is significantly enhanced. Closing one's eyes, the pedestrians, monsters, plants, and buildings on the surrounding streets all appear in one's mind.
Their conversation flowed into my ears like a tide, my breathing pushed the air, and even my eyes and emotions could be sensed.
Li Weiyi did not release Erfeng to look for Tang Wanzhou, but took out the map of the East China Sea and observed it carefully.
Treat friends in a way that suits them.
There are ways to deal with enemies.
She promised Lu Jingchen, but secretly leaked the secret, putting him in danger. Who would dare to sincerely associate with Li Weiyi in the future?
This is one of them.
Second, the west coast of the East China Sea, including part of the sea area, is shrouded in the darkness of the underworld.
According to the markings on the map, the area was covered with mountains and forests, with complex terrain and dense dark vegetation. It was a paradise for evil spirits and dead souls. No one knew whether there were any powerful dead souls who came with Qin Zhengyang.
If they took action there, even if Tang Wanzhou succeeded in killing Qin Zhengyang, he would not be able to escape.
The vehicle drove into the desolate area of Dragon City. Without lights and human voices, there was only silence and ruins from ancient times, huge stone pillars standing in rows, and dragon nests like hills.
“Swish! Swish…”
Dozens of monsters flashed out from all directions and blocked Li Weiyi's way.
"Humans, no further progress is our demon race's core territory."
Some of them have shrimp tails, some have crab claws, and there are also eight-legged fish, holding spears and swords, with arrogant expressions.
"I'm here to find the Water Beaver Fairy! Tell it, it's Brother Ren." Li Weiyi's faint voice floated out from the frame.
"Can you see the Immortal Prince whenever you want?"
"No matter who you are, brother, dog, or cat, if you don't leave now, don't blame us for chopping off your head."
The two shrimp monsters brandished their magical weapons and spears to drive away the dead beast souls pulling the cart.
"What a hassle! If I don't show my strength, I won't be able to move forward."
Li Weiyi swung out a ray of spiritual light, sending the two shrimp monsters flying dozens of feet away. The remaining monsters were all repelled by the light waves surging from the car.
All the monsters were horrified, knowing that they had encountered a tough guy.
"Just wait, if you have the guts, don't leave."
An octopus, covered in pitch-black mist, moved all eight of its legs and flew away, along the city streets extending downwards, into the sea, and headed towards the newly built underwater jellyfish palace.
Soon, the Water Beaver Fairy and the Octopus came over at top speed and looked at the car frame parked in the middle of the street. "Is that you, Brother Ren?"
"I'll fulfill my promise."
Li Weiyi said in his own voice.
Hearing this, the Water Beaver Fairy was excited. She then used her short claws to hammer the octopus's head. "Don't you have eyes? That's Brother Ren. Even Prince Baba and Her Royal Highness the Princess... have to treat him as an honored guest. Brother Ren, don't bother with a bunch of little people. You are such a big shot. Come on, come on, please go into the water."
"I'm in a hurry, so I won't go. Let's stay here!" Li Weiyi said.
After the Water Beaver Immortal had driven away all the monsters, he swooped into the car and looked at Li Weiyi, who was studying a map inside. He asked respectfully, "Yu'er... the Grand Palace Master isn't here, is he?"
"Do you think you can easily meet the Grand Palace Master?"
Li Weiyi glanced at it, then stretched out a finger and drew out the aura of death from its body.
"I regret it so much. If I had known she was the Grand Palace Master... Hey, my ancestor went to Lingxiao City to pay a visit to the Grand Palace Master. He stood at the foot of Fengge Mountain for a whole night, only to see a palace maid before being sent away."
The Water Beaver Immortal sighed in admiration, and suddenly noticed the unusual spiritual fluctuations from Li Weiyi. She asked in surprise, "Brother Ren, have you become a Holy Spirit?"
"It's not good for you to know too much. You must not tell anyone that I'm in Longcheng." Li Weiyi said.
"clear."
The Water Beaver Immortal examined the body and found that the death aura in the body had completely disappeared. He felt relieved and then said with emotion, "Brother Ren, did you come all the way here to remove the death aura for me?"
"Just do it, go ahead!" Li Weiyi said.
The Water Beaver Fairy lifted the curtain and prepared to leave. Confirming that Li Weiyi had really come all the way here to dispel the Death Spirit Fire, he was deeply touched and couldn't help but express his concern: "Brother Ren, next time you get to Huangjiang, just tell me my name. It will definitely help. By the way, something big is going to happen on Dragon Island. You should leave quickly and don't get affected!"
"What's the big deal?" Li Weiyi asked.
The Water Beaver Fairy returned to the car and asked in surprise, "Don't you know? Dao Gong has mobilized the powerful men of the Taiyin Sect to assassinate Chao Ran, Master Zhuang Yan, who is in charge of Dragon Island at Du'e Temple."
Li Weiyi looked away from the map and pondered for a moment, "This is impossible! How could Inamiya have the guts to risk his life and death and become an enemy of the entire world? Where did you get this information?"
The Water Beaver Fairy plopped down across from Li Weiyi and said, "This matter has been making a lot of noise these past few days. It's said that if Daogong wants to gain greater benefits in the East China Sea, he must eliminate the forces of the Du'e Temple."
"There's also talk of the Taiyin Cult mobilizing the five ghost kings of the Seven Wrongs Plains, and this assassination is a must. Haven't you noticed that the entire Dragon Island is under martial law? The atmosphere is very off."
"Whether it's true or not, the veterans from all the major forces have been alarmed."
"You are the son-in-law of Zuoqiu Menting, so you must be living in the Dragon Island Dojo of Du'e Temple, right? The transcendental fighting is too terrifying, leave quickly."
Li Weiyi didn't believe it at all.
Even if Inamiya really wanted to use the Taiyin Sect to kill Zhuang Shiyan, this secret would never be leaked.
He was moved and asked, "How long ago did this news come out?"
"About two or three days ago!" said the Water Beaver Immortal.
Li Weiyi pondered for a moment and smiled.
He was at least 70% sure that this news was released by Tang Wanzhou.
The Dongxu Camp has weaknesses, but the Taiyin Sect has even greater weaknesses.
Tang Wanzhou is using the power of the old guys from all the forces on Dragon Island to bind those who might be traveling with Qin Zhengyang, as well as the powerful people of the Taiyin Sect and the old generation of the Dead Spirits who are hiding.
In the atmosphere she created, if those old guys appeared in the nearby waters, they would probably die without a burial place.
At this moment, Li Weiyi completely understood and knew why she could boldly infer that the meeting place between Qin Zhengyang and Inamiya Zhenchuan was most likely at Xidukou.
First of all, the whole city is under martial law and the Taiyin Sect is under strict investigation, which forces Qin Zhengyang to not dare to go to the island at all.
Secondly, Inamiya Shinchu was afraid of being plotted against by the Taiyin Sect and did not dare to leave Dragon Island too far.
Qin Zhengyang was afraid of being killed by Dao Gong in an unclear manner, so he would definitely choose a place with a lot of people near the coast of Long Island. That way, even if Dao Gong played dirty, the Taiyin Sect would know who to seek revenge on.
It won’t become a mess.
The third point is that the West Ferry is the closest to the Land of the Dead, only two thousand miles from the west coast. If anything seems amiss, they can evacuate as quickly as possible.
Qin Zhengyang would never have thought that someone was going to assassinate him, let alone that his whereabouts had already been revealed.
The most difficult part of assassinating someone is finding him.
Li Weiyi speculated that these were the reasons why Tang Wanzhou had locked the location at Xidukou. He expected that Daogong and Taiyin Sect did not trust each other.
Tang Wanzhou must have other arrangements. The only thing she is worried about now is that Qin Zhengyang will be scared away!
Li Weiyi put away the map, looked at Shui Lixian, and asked, "Is Her Royal Highness the Princess on Dragon Island?"
"Yes! Her Highness has achieved immortality and transformed successfully. Do you want to go and see her true form?" Shui Lixian said with a smile.
Li Weiyi shook his head slightly. "Please tell her that if anything happens at sea tonight, I hope Her Royal Highness can repay the favor. Also, tell her that I don't hold out much hope for this matter, but if she can lend a helping hand, I will definitely reciprocate in the future."
He said this simply to add an extra layer of protection to deal with unpredictable dangers.
