Chapter 683 Mr. Book
Li Weiyi was startled: "Impossible, how long ago was that?"
“Anyway, they are not cubs from the last two years, but rather adults who have already achieved considerable cultivation,” Mr. Shu said.
After Yu Yaozi locked the palace, the Second Palace Master was known as the strongest person in the Lingxiao Realm. Although Zuoqiu Xuanming was not necessarily weaker than her, the title of "strongest person" was not given lightly.
Yu Daozhen, the crown prince of the Demon Kingdom, is among the potential emperors, and his momentum is extremely strong. His talent and abilities are comparable to only a few people such as Qilin Zang and Yu Yaozi.
If it weren't for the Demon Kingdom's tradition of "devouring one's father," Yu Daozhen might have already reached the level of a martial arts emperor with Yu Baxian's full support.
As the Crown Prince's number one political enemy, the Chang family naturally had a very detailed understanding of the situation in the Eastern Palace.
Mr. Shu continued, "I wonder if His Highness the Crown Prince truly damaged the foundation of the Martial Emperor in the Lingxiao Realm. He is currently incredibly powerful, as if he could break through at any moment, which makes him seem somewhat like a bluff. Marrying the Second Palace Mistress, whose cultivation has been crippled, as the Crown Princess seems more like a display of his confidence."
If Yu Daozhen were to break through to the Martial Dao Emperor realm, the first to suffer would undoubtedly be the Chang family.
The extermination of the clan and the death of the people are the least of it.
This time, Li Weiyi understood that Mr. Shu was subtly probing whether Yu Yaozi's successor knew the truth. Because only Yu Daozhen and Chan Hai Guanwu, the two combatants, knew the truth.
Li Weiyi genuinely didn't know, and vaguely replied, "Perhaps they are truly in love."
"Haha, yes, yes, true love!" After Mr. Shu laughed, he didn't mention the matter again.
Chang's family's fine wine is smooth and mellow, with a rich and fragrant taste but a powerful aftertaste.
Amidst the clinking of glasses, Li Weiyi felt a slight buzz for the first time. He reached out to Zuoqiu Hongting beside him, only to find that she and Chang Yuqing had already gone to stroll in the garden.
Only he, Mr. Shu, and several wine cauldrons remained on the table.
A woman in a white Taoist robe, with a long ribbon flowing from her head, one hand behind her back and the other holding a cup, walked gracefully and elegantly through the pavilions and tables.
"The eighth-generation immortal, Chang Yuqing. I have heard that my only brother displayed great power in the Immortal Forest of Night Demon City, breaking through a seven-level pagoda with a single palm. It seems that challenging the eighth-generation immortal is only a matter of time. I hope to have the opportunity to spar with him in the future."
Li Weiyi looked up, but couldn't see her face clearly. All he could see were overlapping images, except for a pair of stunningly beautiful, captivating eyes.
Those were eyes that, once seen, could never be forgotten; they seemed to hold a thousand secrets, yet also seemed to radiate timeless brilliance, captivating the mind and spirit.
Li Weiyi bit her tongue hard, instantly sobering up.
Looking again, Chang Yuqing had already gracefully departed, leaving only a slender silhouette disappearing among the buildings.
"And who is this?" Li Weiyi looked at Mr. Shu.
"The eighth-generation immortal in our clan is hiding in an organization similar to the Nine Li Hidden Sect. Even Yu Jian and Yu Qing have never seen her. She is devoted to cultivating the Dao and is known as the Jade Purity True Person. It seems that she was alerted by your achievements and wanted to get to know you," said Mr. Shu.
Li Weiyi is not afraid of the eighth-generation immortal.
The three-year conflict was between the ninth generation of immortals and the eighth generation of immortals.
There is only one exception.
That is, the ninth-generation immortal publicly challenged an eighth-generation immortal. From then on, all eighth-generation immortals were qualified to attack him.
The "open challenge" aspect is extremely important, as it prevents the eighth and seventh generation immortals from exploiting loopholes in the rules.
Li Weiyi looked at Mr. Shu beside him: "Was there any poison in the wine? Just now, I couldn't even see the person clearly. I've never seen anything like this before."
"Haha, do I need to drug a junior like you? Don't you even know how much we drank?"
Mr. Shu quickly put away his smile and began to talk about the most important thing: "I think Yu Jian and Yu Qing have already given their advice, so I won't say any more."
“Let’s make a deal. If you find yourself in dire straits during the three-year competition and have to hand over the Jade Book of Life, give it to someone from our Chang family faction. In return, before the competition begins, you can come to the Chang family for help with anything you encounter in Xiaoyao Capital. The Chang family will also do everything in its power to protect you and deal with the assassins from the Taiyin Sect.”
Li Weiyi poured a full cup for Mr. Shu with both hands, then filled one for himself, and raised the cup in a toast, saying, "I hope Uncle Shu won't blame me for my earlier offense. I really had too much to drink! Whatever you say, we'll do."
“After we finish this cup, we’ll have another one,” Mr. Shu laughed heartily.
...
Li Weiyi didn't wake up until noon the next day.
He wasn't drunk, nor was he asleep; he lay quietly in bed, deep in thought.
Staying at Chang's house all the time is definitely not an option. Although safety is guaranteed, it's hard to have any privacy.
Even with the cultivation level of the Grand Marshal of the Chaos, and despite setting up an array to isolate him, it is still possible for his secrets to be revealed.
First, find Mo Duanfeng to resolve Yao Qingxuan's identity issue.
After getting up, Li Weiyi immediately went to find Yao Qingxuan and told her to stay at Chang's house for the time being, as she had to go out for a while.
After Yao Qingxuan broke through to the third realm, he focused on refining the Dragon Soul Source Light to improve his realm, showing no interest in anything else. Therefore, we agreed to his arrangement.
As they left Yao Qingxuan's residence, they encountered Zuoqiu Hongting, who was standing against the red wall waiting for them.
The two walked along the wall through the snow, communicating with each other telepathically.
"Is she Yaoyin's mother?" Zuoqiu Hongting asked.
Li Weiyi nodded: "She's also half my master. She was the one who protected me when we were in the underground immortal abode. What's the situation between you and Yaoyin? I heard you're vying for the true inheritance?"
“Yes, who do you support?” Zuoqiu Hongting asked.
Li Weiyi stared at her for a moment: "Are you being stubborn? Do you think the Jiuli tribe has sided with Lingxiao Palace because you didn't tell you Yu'er's identity?"
"The battle for the true inheritance is no child's play; it's a matter of life and death," Zuoqiu Hongting said.
Li Weiyi said, "I haven't heard of my fiancé having any of the true teachings of the ancient sect."
"In other words, you support her? That makes sense. She has a tragic past and is weak and vulnerable, so it's easy for her to gain sympathy and pity." Zuoqiu Hongting put her hands behind her back, twisting her fingers, and sighed softly.
Li Weiyi said, "Don't say such hurtful things. You have never regarded Yaoyin as an enemy. Even if you win the battle, you will definitely take care of her. You are under orders from the old ancestor of the Zuoqiu School of Diplomacy, which is why you have to take the position of the true successor of the Du'e Temple. Some time ago, I went back to Lizhou, and the old ancestor of the Zuoqiu School of Confucianism and Taoism said it to me personally."
Zuoqiu Hongting said, "How boring!"
"The old ancestor also asked when the wedding would take, and I said I would leave it all to your opinion, even if it meant annulment," Li Weiyi said.
"What's the rush? I'm not in a hurry. Are you hiding something from me?"
Zuoqiu Hongting turned around like a whirlwind, stood opposite him, and looked into his eyes.
Li Wei remained calm: "I'm just responsible for relaying the information. I'm not in a hurry. Why should I be?"
"Let's get down to business!"
Zuoqiu Hongting said very seriously: "Shen Jian has already pledged allegiance to Changyu Sword! His condition is that the Death Spirit Fire within his body be removed."
“For him, this is the best choice, as expected,” Li Weiyi said.
"After the battle at Night Demon City Immortal Forest, it's a foregone conclusion that you will possess the Jade Book of Life Spring; this should have spread throughout Xiaoyao Capital by yesterday. I've come up with a plan; would you like to hear it?" Zuoqiu Hongting asked.
Seeing that she was no longer dwelling on matters of the heart, Li Weiyi felt relieved and quickly said, "Brother Hongting is incredibly clever; she must have a brilliant plan."
“If two Li Weiyis appear after the results are released, they can relieve half of your pressure in a short time. My disguise technique is not so easy to see through. With a few more tricks, it will be even more foolproof,” Zuoqiu Hongting said.
Li Weiyi was moved: "You want to help me... Didn't you come here to persuade me?"
"If I can't persuade you, then I can only go crazy with you! Who told you to fight to the death with me during the Qianlong Lantern Festival?" Zuoqiu Hongting said.
Li Weiyi laughed heartily and grabbed her shoulders: "To be honest, this is the happiest thing that has happened to me recently. You truly are my best brother. But, it's too dangerous!"
“If I can’t win, I will change back to my original appearance, and the people of Du’e Temple will protect me. In addition, you must teach me a mental technique that can represent your identity, and forge a weapon that is similar to the Yellow Dragon Sword,” Zuoqiu Hongting said.
"Okay, I think your strategy can be further developed and expanded."
Li Weiyi fell into deep thought, then asked, "What are your plans next?"
“Cultivate, and improve your mental power as much as possible. The Grand Palace Master has given you plenty of good things, hasn't she? Want some? Take what's hers, and I won't be polite at all.” Zuoqiu Hongting reached out to ask for it. In her mind, this was actually helping Yu Yaozi fight, and she wasn't as relaxed and straightforward as she appeared.
Li Weiyi, now wealthy and powerful, immediately took out a bottle containing several Sacred Thought Star Pills and placed it in her hand.
After parting ways with Zuoqiu Hongting, Li Weiyi found the Changyu Sword and went to say goodbye.
"With countless eyes watching the Chang family, leaving quietly won't be easy. My father must have a way!"
Changyu Sword took Li Weiyi to find Changshu.
Half an hour later.
A medium-sized carriage, pulled by three snow lions, exited the Grand Minister's Mansion through a side gate.
Inside the car, Chang Shu was dressed even more simply than the night before, without any precious ornaments. She took out a magic bag and handed it to Li Weiyi: "Inside are three sets of identity cards, as well as identity-related mental images, clothes, waist tokens, magic tools, etc., to deal with inspections. Only I know about these three identities."
"Thank you very much, Uncle Shu. You are so thoughtful."
Li Weiyi took the bag, quickly changed into one of the most inconspicuous black robes, and asked, "Where are we going?"
"Go to the most chaotic place, where all external perception will be isolated, and hundreds or thousands of cultivators will be coming and going every moment. No matter how high your cultivation level is, you can only look on with envy and sigh in front of hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of cultivators. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. The population of Xiaoyao Capital is definitely over a hundred million now." Chang Shu sighed, her heart filled with anticipation.
Li Weiyi flicked his finger and lifted a corner of the carriage curtain, discovering that on the distant horizon, space had been torn horizontally for dozens of miles, and crimson flames were burning fiercely in the Heavenly Fire World.
That was the fire formation of Xiaoyaojing South City, the Heavenly Fire Demon Cave, which contrasted sharply with the water vapor permeating the North Lake.
(I updated 210,000 words last month, and this month's monthly votes are indeed much more than before, which is somewhat beyond my expectations. I'm three chapters behind! I'll definitely try to reach 210,000 words this month, but the pressure of three more chapters isn't too great.)
