Chapter 696 Transcendent Fall
"rustle!"
Before Li Weiyi could regain her composure...
The street he was on, which was four zhang wide, was filled with mist formed from the poisonous corpse rain.
Wherever the Silver Rain Corpse Poison passed, those with low cultivation levels were directly corroded into a pool of dark silver pus and blood. Those with high cultivation levels, on the other hand, quickly turned into corpses.
Li Weiyi released his protective aura, and immediately sensed an extremely terrifying killing intent approaching from afar. That aura and power were definitely not possessed by an ordinary Great Immortal.
"Oh no, we've been exposed! But why?"
In a flash, Li Weiyi's thoughts raced.
I really can't figure out where things went wrong.
At Dongcheng Tiange, he and Mo Duanfeng left one after the other after some time had passed.
After separating from Mo Duanfeng, he used various methods to change his appearance and identity in the Heavenly Pavilion in order to deceive everyone.
"Whoosh!"
The doubt lasted only a moment before dark magic surged from the sole of Li Weiyi's left foot, and his body flew off the ground like an arrow.
It has just left the ground.
A powerful shockwave erupted from the spot where I had just been standing.
In mid-air, Li Weiyi took out the Purifying Fire Talisman that Nangong had given him and threw it downwards.
This Purifying Fire Talisman was crafted by the Great Holy Spirit Master of the Ancient Clan of Time.
"Whoosh!"
The runes on the talisman emitted a crimson light like magma, tearing the talisman paper to pieces. From within the talisman paper, a cloud of fire was released, shooting straight down and suppressing the invisible shockwave.
"boom!"
The street, four zhang wide, was blown open, revealing several shocking and horrifying cracks. Buildings on both sides of the street collapsed in large sections, turning into ruins.
The entire area within a hundred feet was enveloped in a silvery mist of corpse poison, obscuring vision and impairing perception.
Before Li Weiyi could even breathe a sigh of relief, a silver net of light descended from above.
It was a giant net woven from countless silver threads, so fine that even a finger could not pass through it. The net undulated like waves, and Li Wei could not see the edge of it; his eyes felt as if they were about to be blinded by the silver light.
"Whoosh!"
Li Weiyi quickly raised the talisman umbrella belonging to the fake Luo Yinji, continuously pouring magical energy into it.
Previously, when he was selling magical artifacts and other items at the East City Heavenly Pavilion, he specifically took out this talisman umbrella because he was reluctant to sell it. So he placed it at the top of his bag and only took it out immediately.
The silver light net was pressed down extremely quickly.
"Slap! Slap!"
As soon as Li Weiyi landed, he heard the sound of the buildings and formations on the surrounding streets being cut into fragments by the silver light net.
Even the high-grade talisman umbrella above their heads was pierced by the light net.
Sharp silver threads pierced through the runes and the umbrella paper.
The umbrella bought Li Weiyi some time.
"boom!"
The thunder was deafening. The Purple Heaven Thunder Seal was activated and transformed into the size of a house. It flew upwards and supported the extremely dangerous silver light net.
Li Weiyi stood beneath the Purple Heaven Thunder Seal, threw away the broken umbrella, and quickly reached for the piece of paper that Yu Yaozi had given him.
Yu Yaozi had said that the note contained more than just a divine sword talisman. Moreover, the fact that she dared to let Li Weiyi come to Xiaoyao Capital alone clearly showed that she had great confidence in that note.
"call!"
Oh no, it's coming!
Li Wei mobilized all his magical energy, activating all the defensive robes on his body. Even the Purple Lightning could not provide support for him for the time being. He simultaneously struck out swastika marks with both palms and pushed them forward.
The attacker from the front was an elderly man in a gray robe with thinning hair. He burst out from the silvery mist of corpse poison, punched through two swastika marks, and sent Li Weiyi flying dozens of feet away.
He let out a soft exclamation, clearly not expecting Li Weiyi to react so quickly and possess such powerful Taoist skills, managing to save his life from a potentially fatal punch.
After only a brief moment of surprise, the old man leaped forward again like a ghost to attack.
"The sixth realm?"
Li Weiyi's body felt like it had been smashed to pieces. His back had crashed through the street and was completely embedded in the ground. His mouth was full of blood, but his eyes were fixed on the old man. He had already pulled out a white letter.
"court death!"
A bright sword light pierced through the air and arrived.
The sword light sliced the old man who was charging at them in two, and blood splattered all over the ground.
Changzhi, carrying a blood-stained sword, flew over and stood in front of Li Weiyi. Her imposing presence was overwhelming, and her aura permeated a radius of a hundred feet, then spread to a thousand feet and ten thousand feet. Her eyes were like two stars, alert to all directions.
Li Weiyi breathed a long sigh of relief, immediately hid the note in his sleeve, and secretly circulated his magical energy to regulate his breathing.
That was extremely dangerous.
The three attacks occurred almost within the span of a single breath.
Every time an attack was launched, if he reacted even a fraction of a second too slowly, he would definitely not be able to stop it.
"Boom!"
A transcendent chariot shrouded in runes sped towards them, pulled by three dragon-headed fire lions.
The three dragon-headed fire lions were subdued by Changzhi in the primordial demon plains. Each one was full of vigor, exhaling breath like clouds, and was two zhang long, with a domineering presence.
Chang Zhi said, "Get in the car first, leave this area, and the Taiyin Sect's extraordinary presence will be revealed."
"Many thanks to Mr. Zhi for saving me."
Li Weiyi bowed deeply, withdrew the Purple Heaven Thunder Seal, and walked to the side of the Transcendent Imperial Carriage. The runes floating in the void at the boarding position automatically faded.
He lifted the carriage curtain and went inside.
Li Weiyi discovered that a beautiful figure in a white Taoist robe was already sitting directly above her in the brightly lit compartment.
In just a moment when their eyes met, Li Weiyi immediately recognized her as Chang Yuqing, the eighth-generation immortal who had toasted him at the Chang family banquet, and was known as "Yuqing Zhenren".
At the time, Li Weiyi didn't see what she looked like clearly, but he remembered her eyes, which he could never forget after just one glance.
Li Weiyi sat down, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and reflected on the problems with the assassination attempt.
The magnificent chariot, pulled by three dragon-headed fire lions, set off.
Li Weiyi's eyes narrowed: "Mr. Zhi has not yet boarded the vehicle."
"Let's leave this dangerous place that the Taiyin Cult has carefully prepared."
Chang Yuqing remained calm and composed, holding a whisk and sitting quietly inside. Her Taoist robe was spotless, and her expression was as gentle and profound as that of a Bodhisattva, a stark contrast to Li Weiyi's rapidly pounding heart.
Li Weiyi said, "Wouldn't that be too dangerous?"
"meeting."
Chang Yuqing answered in this way.
Li Weiyi looked at her in surprise, and only now did she have time to properly examine this Jade Purity True Person.
She discovered that her eyes were still incredibly captivating, like melting snow in early spring, but her rosy, jewel-like lips and her alluring, fairy-like face, along with her ethereal and otherworldly aura, while possessing a fatal attraction for men everywhere, also created a sense of incongruity.
A person possesses a unique blend of qualities: ethereal, lively, alluring, gentle, serene, and profound. This combination creates an indescribable allure.
"Why is Master Yuqing so confident? I'm already being watched. It's entirely possible that the Taiyin Sect's Chaoran will take action against me."
Li Weiyi pondered to himself that the reason he couldn't see Chang's face clearly at the family banquet that day was probably not because she was drunk. Rather, it was because she had cultivated some kind of magic.
Chang Yuqing's eyes sparkled, and she smiled serenely: "If Chao Ran makes a move in Xiaoyao Capital, he is bound to die. Do you think there are that many Chao Rans who are willing to risk their lives?"
“All I know is that the Chaoran has already made a move… I understand now, we are bait, waiting for the Chaoran of the Taiyin Sect to make a move against us,” Li Weiyi said.
A look of surprise appeared in Chang Yuqing's extremely charming phoenix eyes: "As expected of an outstanding person who has the opportunity to enter the top five of the 'Land of Immortality', he was able to fully recover his mind in such a short time after being assassinated."
Li Weiyi's lips moved, clearly dissatisfied with the "top five" designation.
Chang Yuqing's eyes narrowed: "Constantly guarding against them is exhausting. But they are extremely cunning, and finding them is nearly impossible. Naturally, we must seize this opportunity to eliminate them as much as possible. However... we underestimated these old scoundrels. Fortunately, you were quick-witted and withstood three attacks, otherwise Mr. Zhi might not have arrived in time. Now it seems that assassinating the Holy Dynasty's top scholar was more like a feint, or perhaps a way to kill two birds with one stone?"
Li Weiyi quickly asked, "How is Mo Duanfeng?"
...
In the city area where Mo Duanfeng and Li Weiyi were attacked, battles broke out one after another, and buildings continued to collapse.
Standing on the fourth floor, Chu Yutian peered out at the shattered street a mile away and witnessed firsthand how Li Weiyi escaped three deadly attacks. His quick reflexes impressed Chu Yutian greatly.
"In terms of strength, he may be inferior to Gu Zhenxiang, Shan Xianzhi, and Tang Wanzhou, but in a life-or-death battle, the outcome is uncertain. He failed again!"
Chu Yutian recalled the battle in the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins. He realized that if he could have reacted and handled the situation with the same speed and ability, he should have been able to escape alive on his own.
If that were the case, Qing wouldn't have died.
Chu Yutian survived because he cultivated the Central Spring in his back, which opened up an inner world in the area of his back. When the ancient immortal's arrow pierced his body, it protected his internal organs.
But Qingzao did not cultivate the Central Spring.
An aged voice rang out from inside the room: "Let's go. The Demon Kingdom had already laid defenses, so it's understandable that we failed at the last minute. Killing Yu Yaozi's successor and a top scholar is no easy task. Next time, we must be extremely cautious."
Chu Yutian secretly admired the Taiyin Sect's Holy Court King inside the room, who could speak so easily of someone who had fallen from grace.
...
Three dragon-headed fire lions pulled the extraordinary carriage to the street where Mo Duanfeng was assassinated.
Soldiers guarded all the streets and alleys around the city, and the city's protective formation was fully activated.
Li Weiyi got out of the car and saw Mo Duanfeng sitting in the ruins, covered in blood. The two looked at each other and then both showed smiles of relief, as if they had survived a disaster.
"That old bastard from the Taiyin Sect made his move first, restraining my godfather. Then, a disciple of the underworld attacked to assassinate him. Luckily, I was wearing the Fire God Armor and carrying a life-saving talisman, otherwise I would have really been done for!"
Mo Duanfeng chuckled: "However, the Chaoran and Mingtu of the Taiyin Sect were all ambushed by the Demon Kingdom and were all killed. After this battle, anyone who wants to mess with us should probably think carefully about whether they are more clever than Chaoran."
Li Weiyi was moved: "There was a transcendent fall?"
