Chapter 349: Loyalty and Righteousness Are Difficult
Li Weiyi immediately put away his Tiantong Eyes and dared not look for long, for fear of being sensed by the masters in the courtyard.
After careful consideration, a smile appeared on his lips.
From Yao Qian's perspective, he must have thought that Li Weiyi wanted to take revenge on Daoism to vent his hatred for Zhou Bida's death. So, he took advantage of the situation and laid a trap.
It can be expected that the remaining two strongholds and dozens of industries of the Dao Cult in Nanyan Pass are probably ambushed.
As for why the court knew about these strongholds and industries, he had a lot of room for maneuver, and he could have found out from the "elder of the mansion" Jiang Xin. He could also make merit by doing so, and make up for the mistake of "wrongly killing" Zhou Bi Da.
At the same time, they could also pin the crime of the annihilation of the Rice Cult's foundation at Nanyan Pass on Li Weiyi. On the Rice Cult's side, they could drag Yao Qingxuan into the water.
This kills two birds with one stone.
but……
This is exactly the only result Li wants to see.
It all depends on the Rice Sect Headquarters. Who should they believe in?
No matter what, Li Weiyi's goal of destroying all of Daojiao's assets in Nanyanguan and putting the blame on Suizong has been achieved with the help of Yao Qian.
How could he not be happy? He had to find a way to rescue Qifeng.
Looking from the outside, the Dao Cult stronghold was peaceful and tranquil, with only the lanterns under the eaves swaying in the wind.
"They have no way of knowing which stronghold or industry I will attack. It's impossible for so many experts to gather in every place."
Li Weiyi's mind moved, and he turned into a wisp of green smoke and left. He planned to make a feint to the east and attack in the west.
Half an hour later.
One of Daojiao's properties located in the northern part of the third-level city was attacked by Li Weiyi.
There were five Dao Seed Realm and Spiritual Master masters and dozens of Five Sea Realm warriors in the imperial court who were lying in ambush, but they were unable to resist. One of the eunuchs escaped and quickly rushed to the stronghold where Zhuang Yue and others were lying in ambush, which was only seven or eight miles away.
Li Weiyi, who had escaped, caught up with him, knocked him out with a palm, and dragged him into the shadows.
A moment later, Li Weiyi put on the blue-green eunuch robes and transformed into his appearance. His face was covered in blood. He walked out of the shadows and ran hastily towards the stronghold where a large number of imperial troops were ambushed, shouting: "He appeared! The evil thief appeared... The evil thief appeared in the north city..."
…
In the courtyard of the Rice Cult's stronghold.
Jiang Ning sat on a rosewood chair, with long hair like clouds, and a white official robe. On the patch on his chest was embroidered a red goose flying in the clouds. He wore a veil and was surrounded by a magical mist.
With the same pure immortal body, all the other female officials in the Luantai present were outshined by them.
She raised her dark and bright eyes slightly and asked, "What time is it now?"
"Yin time, six quarters! It seems that the evil cult demon will not take action tonight."
Jiang Qumin, the elder of the Jiang family, stood on the snow three steps away. She held a huge gem in her hand, and the light of telekinesis between her eyebrows permeated the entire stronghold, creating an illusory scene.
Under the guidance of Yao Qian, Luantai concluded that the series of events that had occurred in recent days were the result of internal strife within the cult as a result of a power struggle.
One group is headed by "Palace Elder" Jiang Xin, and the other is Zhou Bi's contact person.
Luantai and the General's Mansion were both used by evil cult forces.
If they could take this opportunity to wipe out the two evil cult forces in one fell swoop, Luantai would be the final winner and would be able to make up for their mistakes.
Zhuang Yue held the sword and snorted coldly: "The cult is full of selfish people. For power and interests, they fight each other. When the snipe and the clam quarrel, the fisherman gains. After this battle, Nanyan Pass was completely cleared and Luantai won a great victory. No, there is only one last demon who doesn't know how to live or die. I'm afraid he doesn't know that in order to capture him, a large number of people from Luantai, the Jiang family, and the General's Mansion have been secretly deployed to lay a dragnet."
None of the court officials present responded.
Because the struggle for power and interests was not only within the cult, but also within the imperial court, where the fight was even more intense, bloody, and darker.
Just at this moment.
Outside the courtyard, Li Weiyi, the eunuch in disguise, shouted, "That evil villain has appeared in the north city!"
In the courtyard of the stronghold, there was a sudden sound of breaking wind.
Including Zhuang Yue, several figures rushed out.
Li Weiyi seemed to be exhausted. His body was unstable and his face was pale. He almost fell in front of Zhuang Yue, but fortunately he was helped up by her.
"What happened? Where did that monster appear?" Zhuang Yue asked.
Li Weiyi was panting and stammering, "North City...Xuansheng Street, Grain and Oil Shop...Quick...That villain is too strong, we are no match for him..."
“Swish! Swish…”
One after another, top masters rushed out of their strongholds, flew over the rooftops, and headed towards the North City.
Zhuang Yue was about to return to the courtyard to report when a voice sounded in her ears: "Go east along the main street, to the noodle stall on the street. I need your help. Don't tell anyone."
She turned around suddenly, only to see that the eunuch had already led a large number of men towards the north city.
That voice just now...
Zhuang Yue suppressed the shock in her heart and regained her composure.
She is no longer as immature as she was two years ago. After going through countless trials, she is naturally growing up, although she is growing slowly.
At six quarters past the morning, the sky was slightly bright.
At 3:30 am in the morning, the city gate that had been closed for three days was opened.
People from all over the world poured into the city.
There are more and more pedestrians and cars on the streets.
Zhuang Yue looked at the street noodle stall in the warm light from afar, and saw a young man in a gray robe sitting at the table with his back to her, eating noodles with chopsticks. Opposite him was another bowl, steaming.
Looking around again, Zhuang Yue walked quickly, sat opposite the young man, and stared at him.
Li Weiyi raised his head, revealing a strange face, and smiled at her: "Eat quickly, and then we can talk about business."
Zhuang Yue was very nervous and lowered her voice: "You have been causing trouble these days? What on earth do you want to do? You are meeting with me secretly like this, it will kill me!"
"You knew you would be killed, so why did you come?" Li Weiyi said.
Zhuang Yue lost her temper and asked, "Have you joined a cult?"
Li Weiyi ate by himself, and after a while asked, "Have the imperial court experts in that stronghold withdrawn?"
"I won't betray the court and the young lady. Don't even think about getting any information from me." Zhuang Yue said angrily.
"So it really is her."
Li Weiyi sighed inwardly, then looked at Zhuang Yue and said with a smile: "Do you know why I contacted you instead of Jiang Ning? Because I trust you more. Our friendship is not just a one-time life-and-death relationship."
Zhuang Yue's pure white face instantly turned red: "But I really can't help it. You know I can't hide anything. Now the city gates are open, hurry out of the city, I promise I won't expose you."
Li Weiyi said: "Qi Feng is trapped in the illusion of that stronghold, help me bring him out."
Zhuang Yue breathed a sigh of relief: "Is that all?"
Li Weiyi added: "Please help me check the list of all Daozhong Realm masters who have disappeared in the underground immortal palace. The Yu Ya of the Attendant Hall must have included it."
If all the thirty Dao Seed Realm masters that Luan Sheng Lin You took away from the Rice Sect Headquarters were to sneak into Lingxiao City, it would be a huge factor of uncertainty in this shocking battle that would determine the fate of the world.
That's thirty powerful undeads! Zhou Bida is dead, and Li Weiyi decided to take on this important task.
Even if it is impossible to prevent the demise of Lingxiao City, the Demon Race, the Netherworld of the Dead, and the Rice Cult must be made to pay as high a price as possible in this devastating war, on the battlefield of Lingxiao City, which is destined to become the largest meat grinder in a thousand years, so that they will be unable to sweep the world with victory.
Create opportunities for the human forces such as Zuoqiu Menting, Xuejian Tangting, Zhumen, and Leixiaozong to defeat them.
It is extremely important to secretly eliminate the forces of the demon clan and the Rice Cult buried in Lingxiao City.
This is a tough battle that Li Weiyi must fight as he has summoned all the hermits above the Daozhong realm to go to Lingxiao City.
"No, I can't betray the court." Zhuang Yue was loyal to the court. She felt that if she agreed to Li Weiyi, she would be colluding with the cult, and she couldn't get over it.
Li Weiyi said: "You owe me a life, and you owe me a lot of money."
Seeing that Li Weiyi no longer talked about their past friendship and said such words, Zhuang Yue felt extremely uncomfortable, as if the two of them were about to draw a clear line between them.
She said with a bitter expression: "The information collected is not accurate at all! There are many factions in the court, three palace masters, seven transcendents, and each faction has a large number of Dao seed realm masters under their command. Like the Embroidered Divine Guards under the Blood Robe Chief Steward, the two great mountains in the army, the King of West Sea and the Duke of East Sea, their masters will not report to the Attendant Hall when they go to the underground fairy palace to explore.
"The personnel under the jurisdiction of each state government can move more flexibly."
Li Weiyi frowned slightly: "Collect as many detailed lists as possible, and I will identify them myself when the time comes."
Zhuang Yue asked: "What exactly are you going to do?"
"Is it impossible to do it? If it can't be done, tell Chen Chuan about it and let him do it." Li Weiyi said.
Chen Chuan is Yin Shisan.
Zhuang Yue gritted her teeth and said, "Is this your attitude of asking someone to do something for you? I don't even want to know your purpose?"
"You're not smart enough. Knowing too much can cause harm," said Li Weiyi.
Zhuang Yue asked: "What did you say?"
Li Weiyi quickly changed his words: "If a person has enough flaws, then there will be no flaws! Who would believe that you, Zhuang Yue, would betray the court?"
Once the news of such a major event as the attack on Lingxiao City spreads, it will surely cause a world-shaking event.
By then, even if the demon tribe is not fully prepared, they will immediately take action, and will not give the court a chance to prepare for a large-scale purge of internal spies and external troops. By then, the Dao Cult will be forced to join the game.
Just like the battle at Qiuzhou City, Qilin Zang acted decisively. It can be said that if Li Weiyi had dared to leak the news in the morning, the battle might have broken out by noon.
The current imperial court only sensed the dangerous atmosphere and did not think that the demon clan would dare to directly attack Lingxiao City.
There are only slight ripples on the water surface, but there is a surging undercurrent beneath the water.
Whoever can win the secret battle of lurking layout before the war will have a greater advantage after the war begins.
This is one of Li's only concerns.
Second, no one knows which people in the court have been controlled by the demon tribe and the Dao Cult. Jiang Xin's existence is definitely not an isolated case.
Before Zhuang Yue could get angry, Li Weiyi asked again, "Three days ago, there was a great battle between the immortal realm giants outside Nanyan Pass. What happened?"
Zhuang Yue shook her head vigorously: "I don't know, I don't know anything. Anyway, the leader of the Sui Sect hasn't returned to the city yet, that's all I know. You really killed me!"
Li Weiyi glanced at the side and felt that he was being stared at by several sharp eyes. He knew that masters were surrounding him. He remained calm and comforted Zhuang Yue, "Since ancient times, it has been difficult to be both loyal and righteous. I can understand your inner pain, but Zhuang Yue, aren't we friends who share weal and woe? So be it... Remember what you promised me. Keep your eyes on me!"
Zhuang Yue raised her head blankly, and their eyes met for a moment.
A spiritual imprint entered Zhuang Yue's body.
Suddenly she became stunned.
Under Li Weiyi's control, Zhuang Yue picked up the chopsticks and started eating. He said in an old voice: "Fairy Yu is worthy of being the disciple of the Second Palace Master. My little tricks can't be hidden from you. Haha!"
Thirty feet behind him, Jiang Ning was holding the Jingyu Sword, as if he appeared out of thin air. The tremendous aura emanating from his body frightened the people around him and made them flee far away.
Everyone in the city knows the destructive power of a battle between top masters.
This section of the street was cleared in an instant.
As quiet as a dead city.
