Chapter 581 Accident
When Li Weiyi arrived at the teleportation hall, all the people from Shaoyang Division had indeed arrived.
The atmosphere is not right.
The air seemed frozen, some people's eyes darkened, others were filled with anger. In this situation, Li Weiyi felt that the sound of his footsteps entering the door was a mistake.
Not only Mo Duanfeng and Bai Chuan who were at the top, but even Tang Wanzhou who was standing on the side had eyes as sharp as swords, revealing a cold light.
Li Weiyi realized that it wasn't his lateness that caused the accident, but rather some unexpected situation. So, he quietly blended into the crowd and looked at Liu Ye who was standing next to him. Liu Ye whispered, "Tu Mian Dog is missing!"
"What?"
Li Weiyi's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he felt that this was as ridiculous as a fairy tale.
He was used to the close gathering without Tumian Dog, so when he came in just now, he didn't really notice that one person was missing.
The most important person in this operation, the Taiyin Cult's Haishi, unexpectedly disappeared at a critical moment. Li Weiyi had thought of any possible accidents, but he had never thought that the tied sheep would run away.
Xu Daoqing, who was in charge of watching Tumian Dog, said solemnly, "Blame me. It's my fault. I will accept any punishment."
"It's my fault. I was the one staring at him."
The scholar Zhao Tang sighed and said, "Everything must be done according to military regulations! I will accept any punishment."
"Is it time to hold someone accountable? The key is to get him back." Tang Wanzhou said.
"We've dispatched all the sentinels that can be dispatched. There's a drop of his blood left in the Dongxu Camp, which can track even the slightest trace of his presence. He can't escape."
The Pipa girl wore a white robe of the Shaoyang Guard and a golden mask that covered the lower half of her face. Between her jade-white eyebrows was a sharp and powerful purple-red lightning mark, but her eyes were charming and full of tenderness.
She was born into an evil family, rarely spoke, and was quite distant from everyone. Li Weiyi still didn't know her real name.
With her pipa slung across her back, her long hair cascading down her thighs, she was tall and slender, possessing a powerful aura amidst her allure. Her cultivation was quite advanced. Her breasts were second only to Qing Zijin's, whose size was so large that it was incongruous with her slightly plump figure and delicate features.
After listening to Liu Ye's telepathic narration, Li Weiyi quickly understood the whole story.
It turned out that according to Mo Duanfeng and Bai Chuan's plan, they were going to have the Shaoyang Sect enter the ancient kingdom of Suiyuexu from near the rainforest habitat. They would have Tumiangou pass this news to Chu Yutian and lead Chu Yutian and the Taiyin Sect there.
The two of them followed secretly, waiting for Chu Yutian to fall into the trap and show up, and then they would kill him.
Now, exactly as planned, Tumian Gou spread the news.
But the person is missing!
This morning, Xu Daoqing went to Yuyu City to purchase supplies and asked the scholar Zhao Tang to help keep an eye on them.
Everything was normal until the time of departure. Zhao Tang, who had been guarding outside Tumian Dog's cave, called out many times but got no response, so he broke through the formation and rushed into the cave, only to find that it was already empty.
Zhao Tang felt guilty: "He escaped for three hours at most! At noon, I went into the cave and talked to him about some secrets of the ancient country of Suiyuexu."
"He must have discovered something during the conversation with you and realized that he had been exposed, so he escaped." Chi Haohan snorted.
Zhao Tang tried hard to recall every word he had said. Perhaps something really went wrong. He felt pain in his heart, knowing that he had caused a big disaster.
All the previous preparations and layouts were in vain.
Mo Duanfeng tried hard to suppress the rage in his heart, not letting himself explode. "Chu Yutian, with the help of the power of the Ancient Nation of Suiyuexu, will soon be able to break the fourth immortality lock. If we don't get rid of him quickly, once he breaks through and becomes a great immortal... you all will be on your own."
Wherever there are people, there are classes.
Until now, the third-level cultivators present had the final say. Each of them was powerful, far superior to the others. Among them, Mo Duanfeng, Baichuan, and Tang Wanzhou held the most influence.
Li Weiyi and the other youngest members all obeyed silently, not daring to interrupt. Because anything they said was insignificant, the Third Realm experts looked at them like children.
But the current situation is special, so we naturally have to take the opportunity to fight for it.
Chang Yujian spoke first, "This might not be a bad thing! The ancient country of Suiyuexu is vast, with the distance between the north and the south exceeding 100,000 miles, and the border of the ancient country stretches for hundreds of thousands of miles."
"We can change our entry point now. As long as Chu Yutian doesn't know where we enter from, a dozen people dropping in will be like a dozen drops of water dropping into the sea."
"We're going there to seek opportunities and cultivate, so why do we have to fight the Taiyin Sect first? Shouldn't we also eliminate potential threats like the Demon Kingdom and the Monster Clan first? After all, they also have the Ruins of Time Divine Order."
Li Weiyi said, "I also opposed the initial action. It's actually good to correct the mistake now."
Bai Chuan stood with the Pipa Girl, glancing casually at Chang Yujian and Li Weiyi. He initially didn't want to bother with them, but after a moment's thought, he couldn't help but say, "Different realms of cultivation necessitate different ways of thinking. You're at the First Realm, so in a clash of this magnitude, you won't be able to play any role, nor gain any benefit, so we don't want to take any risks."
"Not taking risks means you can enjoy the benefits of entering the ancient country of Suiyuexu with peace of mind under our protection."
"But dealing with Chu Yutian is a responsibility that falls on the shoulders of several of us strong men. In the ancient country of Suiyuexu, if Chu Yutian finds us first, we will deal with it, not you."
"When Mo Duanfeng and I left Taixu Camp and Zulong Camp, we signed a military order to kill Chu Yutian. We were doing this for ourselves, not for ourselves. We were doing this to help the Shaoling Army regain the reputation that your Dongxu Camp had lost."
The entire teleportation hall fell silent.
Li Weiyi and Chang Yujian looked at each other, and the latter shook her head slightly.
Mo Duanfeng looked at Tang Wanzhou. "Shengsi, what do you say? Tu Mian Gou definitely can't escape. Even if he did, he wouldn't know of Bai Chuan and me, and wouldn't have time to pass on the news to Chu Yutian. We can continue as planned and enter the ancient country of Suiyuexu from the rainforest habitat. We can wait for the enemy to tire themselves out and kill them in one fell swoop."
Bai Chuan withdrew his gaze from Li Weiyi and Chang Yujian, regaining his composure and demeanor. "If we don't kill Chu Yutian first, we will be under constant tension and pressure in the ancient country of Sui Yuexu. Our training will be twice as effective with half the effort."
Tang Wanzhou looked at the Shaoyang guards in the hall and found that after three days, some of them seemed to have been subtly won over by Mo Bai and the others.
She stood up suddenly and said in a tone that could not be disobeyed: "Since you two asked me, then I have to make a decision!"
"Change the plan and re-select the location for entering the Ancient Country of Suiyuexu. This location will not be determined in advance. Everyone, follow me and don't give the enemy any chance to predict."
Mo Duanfeng and Baichuan frowned, their chests heaving with anger, but they could do nothing but feel helpless. They felt a deep sense of powerlessness in their hearts, secretly hating the Dongxu Camp for being a bunch of idiots who actually let a Taiyin envoy escape under their noses.
If they were to carry out the original plan now, the risk would indeed increase greatly, and it would be difficult for them to persist.
Everyone waited in the teleportation hall for two days.
Tang Wanzhou forbade anyone to go out.
Letters kept coming back, but none of them brought news about the capture of Tu Mian Gou.
Mo Duanfeng and Bai Chuan sat on the chairs, closed their eyes and rested, but gradually, they found it difficult to maintain a calm state of mind.
Mo Duanfeng slammed the table and said, "Saint Secretary, it's not that I'm in a bad mood, I just can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, Chu Yutian will have broken through in the ancient country of Suiyuexu. The difference of one realm is a world of difference. How long do we have to wait? If you, the Shaoyang Secretary, don't dare to go, then please give us the Suiyuexu Divine Order and we will go on our own."
Li Weiyi saw that Tang Wanzhou was under immense pressure, having to endure the pressure from Mo Duanfeng and Bai Chuan, while also being responsible for the lives of all the Shaoyang Guards. She was usually decisive and resolute, but this time she was extremely cautious and patient.
"Wait a moment."
Tang Wanzhou stood at the door of the teleportation hall, as if waiting for someone.
Tu Nanfeng and Yuan Jingsan, the new recruit instructors of Dongxu Camp, rushed to the teleportation hall, and Tang Wanzhou immediately went forward to pay their respects.
After the three of them exchanged greetings, Tang Wanzhou walked towards the teleportation array: "Everyone, let's go."
…
“Wow!”
The brilliance of the teleportation array dissipated.
Li Weiyi walked out of the formation platform with everyone else, looked around, and found that the scene in front of him was very familiar. It was the main outpost that one had to pass through to go to the Yecheng outpost to guard the post.
"Instructor Tu, I'll leave this place to you. Our whereabouts are top secret." Tang Wanzhou said.
Tu Nanfeng nodded slightly.
For the next period of time, he would be stationed here as the main sentry to prevent anyone from leaking Shaoyang Si's whereabouts. Although he felt that this Saint Si was a little too cautious!
Led by Tang Wanzhou, Mo Duanfeng and Baichuan, the group rode on the soul beasts of the dead and officially entered the dark and cold realm of the dead, heading towards the southern border of the ancient country of Suiyuexu thousands of miles away.
Yuan Jingsan is a fourth-level Holy Spirit Mind Master. He walks at the end of the team and is invited by Tang Wanzhou to help cover up the team's traces.
Three days later, the group finally saw the legendary withered and flourishing belt.
Endless darkness, barren mountains, vast expanses of red earth, without any sign of life.
In the field of vision, a gray-white gas cloud appeared from east to west.
From the ground, it connects to the sky. The clouds inside are always moving, emitting a faint glow, giving people a sense of grandeur.
At the front of the team, Tang Wanzhou did not immediately take out the Divine Order of the Ruins of Time and enter the Withering and Flourishing Zone, but continued to move to the right.
Li Weiyi, riding a camel-shaped soul beast, was already sketching runes in the teleportation hall and refining them even after entering the netherworld. Everyone felt that he was too nervous and under too much pressure.
Some people also think that he was embarrassed and emotionally traumatized by Shirakawa's words, so he was trying to cram at the last minute.
Chang Yujian rode a soul beast to catch up with Li Weiyi. Seeing him draw a talisman and put it away, she smiled and whispered, "You are not really stimulated, are you?"
"What do you mean?" Li Weiyi asked curiously.
Chang Yujian said, "In terms of talent, the two of us are in no way inferior to him. All we lack is time. This time, entering the ancient country of Suiyuexu, is our chance to catch up with him. I have vowed in my heart that when I leave the ancient country of Suiyuexu, I will challenge him and at least draw with him."
Li Weiyi didn't expect that he was talking about this matter, and didn't take it to heart at all, so he smiled and said: "You still have fighting spirit, you can definitely do it."
Chang Yujian gestured to Li Weiyi to look ahead.
Li Weiyi followed Chang Yujian's gaze and saw that Baichuan and Pipa Girl were walking side by side, wrapped in magical energy, talking and laughing, and seemed to have a very close relationship.
On the other side, Lu Qing and Qiu Cheng followed Mo Duanfeng, half a body length behind him, as if they were humbly asking for advice on their confusions in cultivation.
Chang Yujian transmitted a message: "You can see it now, everyone is looking for a backer."
Li Weiyi pretended not to notice. "No, it's just a normal exchange and friendship. Take the Pipa girl, for example. Her cultivation should be comparable to that of Master Xu. She's one of the best in the Shaoyang Guards. How could she possibly consider Baichuan her supporter?"
Chang Yujian said, "Brother Weiyi, are you pretending to be ignorant, or are you truly ignorant? Just because we are all in the Immortal Realm, does that mean we are all giants? Just because we are all in the Third Realm, does that mean we are all equals? Believe it or not, if we are all in the Third Realm, any Taiyin Envoy who Chu Yutian orders to kneel must kneel."
"You must understand that as long as the other party has the power to kill you and you have no ability to escape, no means to counterattack or threaten them, the difference in your status will be no different from that of master and slave."
"The status of immortal realm martial artists comes from the value we possess. We are the Sentinel Army. We have the value to fight against the Taiyin Cult and the Netherworld of the Dead. That's why we have earned this status. No one dares to touch us easily."
"I am the proud pride of the Chang family. You have the Grand Palace Master's support behind you, and you are also the invisible force that intimidates our opponents. As long as we don't actively cause trouble, we are like wearing a piece of armor that even the transcendent may not be able to penetrate."
"But once we enter the ancient nation of Suiyuexu, these values and the invisible force that intimidates the enemy will be infinitely weakened. We can only rely on our own strength to deal with various dangers. Many things will become different!"
Li Weiyi nodded slightly and asked, "Brother Chang, why don't you find a backer?"
Chang Yujian smiled but said nothing.
