Chapter 288: Meeting The Fourth Divine Child Again
Found a Boundary Bag on Yang Yun, and snatched it away.
Inside the Boundary Bag, there were a large number of Spring Coins.
Li Weiyi estimated based on experience, there were about a hundred thousand Spring Coins: “This kid is too rich, comparable to some Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivators, no wonder he dared to inquire about the price of Commander Level Strange Insect Insect Eggs.”
The amount was too large, Li Weiyi hesitated.
After all, Yang Yun only owed him thirty thousand Spring Coins and a carriage.
A carriage for seventy thousand Spring Coins, wouldn’t that be too exaggerated?
After a brief hesitation, Li Weiyi put the Boundary Bag into his embrace, after all, Yang Qingxi still owed him five million Spring Coins.
“Inside the Life Token, since there is Yang Yun’s blood, it means it’s hard to get away with deception.”
Li Weiyi looked towards the Spirit Valley Hall in the distance, deciding not to investigate for the moment, and finding a passage to leave this place was more important.
“Whoosh!”
The formation outside the Spirit Valley Hall opened.
Six figures with powerful auras emerged, led by two youths who looked exactly alike.
Seeing their faces clearly, Li Weiyi’s expression changed, and he immediately hid.
“Wang Zhi? Wasn’t he dead?” Li Weiyi gazed from afar, utterly bewildered.
Earlier in Qin Garden, Zen Sea Observing Mist had used a soul-searching technique, triggering the Death Spiritual Fire within Wang Zhi’s body, burning his flesh and blood to charcoal, and he couldn’t have been more dead.
The two youths emerging from the formation of Spirit Valley Hall at this moment, both matched Wang Zhi’s appearance and build.
Li Weiyi had never met Wang Zhi’s Brother, the Fourth Divine Son, he had only hidden underground and overheard the conversation between the Fourth Divine Son and Long Ting.
When rescuing Qin Qian, he also didn’t have time to observe what the Fourth Divine Son looked like.
Outside the Spirit Valley Hall.
Zuo Sheng, standing behind the Fourth Divine Son, was filled with emotion: “As expected of the Divine Sect Headquarters, the Codex and Daoist Arts stored here are difficult for Zuo Qiu Gatehouse to match. That Qi Gathering Formation Pool built next to the Heaven Earth Spring, its Magic Energy is completely liquefied, it’s unimaginable how fast Qi accumulation would be if one cultivated inside.”
“No matter how fast, it’s not as fast as using a Dao Lotus and a Dao Fruit,” said the Fourth Divine Son.
Wang Zhi stood beside the Fourth Divine Son.
The parasitic Departed Spirit within him was extremely powerful and perceptive, sensing a familiar aura. His pupils turned blood red as he looked towards Li Weiyi’s hiding place.
Wang Zhi let out an ancient laugh that didn’t match his youthful appearance.
Beyond the Fourth Divine Son’s control, he turned into a blood-red light and shot out like lightning.
“Hmm?”
The Fourth Divine Son frowned and communicated with the Departed Spirit inside Wang Zhi using his Mind.
“There’s a strange sense of familiarity! Perhaps someone your brother saw before he died,” the Departed Spirit responded.
Although the Fourth Divine Son was skeptical of this statement, his expression tensed, and he unleashed the Suspended Silk Shadow Play Daoist Art, following closely behind Wang Zhi.
The four behind them exchanged glances and also pursued.
“Someone who is dead, why have they become even more terrifying?”
A single glance from Wang Zhi on Li Weiyi made him feel a chilling aura enveloping him.
Sensing danger, he immediately performed his fastest Movement Technique, turning into a wisp of green smoke and fleeing.
Li Weiyi clearly remembered that Wang Zhi’s cultivation was only at the Dao Seed Realm First Heaven. Yet, the speed Wang Zhi unleashed at this moment far surpassed Long Ting.
“Escape? Where are you trying to escape to? Who exactly are you, and why were you hiding in the dark observing me earlier?”
Wang Zhi bared his pearly white teeth and chased closer and closer, the cold Yin energy on his body was dense, and he formed his fingers into a claw, reaching out across the void.
Instantly, a giant White Bones claw several feet in size materialized, covering a long distance, and heavily slammed down towards Li Weiyi.
He was locked on, unable to evade.
Li Weiyi’s eyes darkened, his hand instinctively reaching to his back and gripping the Sword Hilt.
He turned and slashed.
This slash was not intended to break the attack of the White Bones giant claw, but only to sever Wang Zhi’s Mind Lock, thereby enabling him to use his Movement Technique and Escape.
“Boom!”
A sword swing filled the sky with snow.
The White Bones giant claw exploded, and an icy sword path spread towards Wang Zhi.
The smile on Wang Zhi’s face froze, and he stopped immediately, raising a Departed Spirit projection to Block, his body being struck and Fly Backwards.
The Fourth Divine Son, following closely behind Wang Zhi, was secretly shocked. In the Sword Intent of the person in front, he felt an overwhelming blizzard-like forceful energy, as if the entire Northern Territory was pressing down.
“This is…”
The Fourth Divine Son’s eyes were filled with doubt, feeling that it shouldn’t be “that sword.”
“The sword is strong, containing powerful Sword Intent, but that kid is very weak, not a Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivator. Hehehe, interesting!”
Wang Zhi chased after him again.
“It is indeed a bit interesting.”
The Fourth Divine Son looked into the distance at the Mysterious Sky Spirit Python, which was flying in mid-air and responsible for patrolling the entire Mortal Layer, and shouted, “Lord Mysterious Sky, intercept that Inner Disciple!”
The Mysterious Sky Spirit Python is a Departed Spirit, with six eyes, double wings, and a length of tens of zhang. It belongs to the Patrol Guard of the Heavenly Principle Hall.
Not only was its combat power formidable, but it could also identify Life Tokens. After discovering the abnormality of Li Weiyi’s Life Token, it suddenly dived down from high in the sky, whipping its tail in attack.
Li Weiyi, relying on the residual Magic Energy left in the Divine Snow Sword by Tang Wanzhou, fought his way through and finally returned to the Southern Clear Palace.
“Plop!”
He leaped into the Blood River.
Following the flow of the Blood River, he soon fell into the Blood Lake within the Southern Clear Palace.
Li Weiyi leaped ashore, looking at the arm wounded by Wang Zhi’s claw, then at the Divine Snow Sword in his right hand, and secretly felt fortunate.
It was a pity that the residual Magic Energy left in the sword by Tang Wanzhou had been exhausted.
The six people who pursued him stopped at the edge of the Blood River outside the Southern Clear Palace.
Wang Zhi wanted to imitate Li Weiyi and jump in, but was stopped by the Fourth Divine Son; this place was not somewhere anyone could trespass.
Even the Mysterious Sky Spirit Python in the sky circled once and then left directly.
The Fourth Divine Son suddenly spoke, asking, “That sword… doesn’t it look like the Divine Snow Sword?”
Zuo Sheng, having lived for a hundred years and seen much, said, “It’s not a matter of whether it looks like it or not; the power in the sword seems to be Tang Wanzhou’s.”
“How could Tang Wanzhou’s sword fall into that person’s hands? That person is definitely not in the Dao Seed Realm; his Magic Energy level is not enough,” said a Core Disciple following the Fourth Divine Son.
Another Core Disciple laughed, “He’s dead for daring to trespass into the Southern Clear Palace!”
“For many years, only Venerable Southern has resided in the Southern Clear Palace.”
Although the Fourth Divine Son knew that the “Southern Clear Palace” was a forbidden place, that person had clearly been heading there with a purpose earlier, without the slightest hesitation, and jumped into the Blood River.
After careful deliberation, the Fourth Divine Son led five people to the main entrance of the Southern Clear Palace.
He tidied his robes, bowed first, and then called out in a loud voice, “Wang Shu pays respects to Venerable Southern. I have important matters to report!”
There was no response.
“Venerable Southern, a suspicious person has escaped into the Southern Clear Palace,” the Fourth Divine Son spoke again.
The gate was tightly shut, and there was profound silence.
A Core Disciple said, “Perhaps… Venerable Southern is not in the palace, which is why that person is so fearless.”
“If that’s the case, shall we chase in through the Blood River?” Zuo Sheng suggested.
The Fourth Divine Son shook his head, extremely cautious, “Absolutely not! Report this matter to the Patrol Guard and the Ku Rong Hall, and let them handle it. Venerable Southern is not someone we can afford to offend.”
…
………
Li Weiyi sat on the shore of the Blood Lake, meditating and refining the power of Death that had seeped into his body from his arm wound. It took him two full hours to refine it completely.
“Why did Wang Zhi suddenly become so strong? He seems even more terrifying than the Fourth Divine Son, who looks exactly like him. If not for the Divine Snow Sword, the consequences would have been unimaginable.”
It was only today that Li Weiyi truly understood the Fourth Divine Son.
Behind him, Yao Qingxuan’s voice sounded, “It’s a Departed Spirit Seed collected by the Heavenly Principle Hall in the Nether Realm of the Dead.”
Li Weiyi was startled by her, his heart rate suddenly increasing. Naturally, he dared not complain. He stood up and looked over, then bowed, “Senior Yao, please show me a way to live!”
He had come to realize that this Divine Sect Headquarters was a place he simply couldn’t escape from.
Without a Life Token, there was a constant risk to his life just walking out of the Southern Clear Palace.
Yao Qingxuan looked very much like Yao Yin, and having entered Longevity through Jia Zi, she appeared to be only in her early twenties, with an elegant and serene demeanor, showing no signs of aging.
Li Weiyi could imagine the scene described by Old Zhao, where her passage left cities empty and alleys deserted in her youth, attracting countless followers with her talent and charm.
“What, are you still running around everywhere?” Yao Qingxuan asked.
Li Weiyi smiled, “I’m not running anymore!”
“The way to live must be fought for yourself; I cannot help you,” Yao Qingxuan said.
Li Weiyi said, “If you truly didn’t care about me, I would definitely be in the Divine Prison right now, not the Southern Clear Palace. I will never trouble you, I just want to know in advance what the Hall Master of Spirit Valley Hall wants with me?”
Yao Qingxuan looked at the garden covered in fallen leaves and overgrown with weeds, “Clean the Southern Clear Palace for me, and I can give you a hint or two, but I can’t guarantee it will be useful.”
…
In the Twin Rice Cult, any cultivator at the Successor Level who reaches the Fifth Realm of the Five Seas Realm can be conferred the title of Divine Son or Divine Daughter, and has the qualification to independently establish a mansion.
The status of Divine Sons and Divine Daughters is revoked after the age of sixty.
Currently, in the Twin Rice Cult, the Divine Sons and Divine Daughters combined only rank up to sixth. Among them, some twin pairs who both possess the talent of a Successor only occupy one position.
At this moment.
In a Goddess Mansion built next to a Heaven Earth Spring.
Yang Yun, with dishevelled clothes, knelt in the courtyard and cried, “Sister, you must avenge me! The Divine Sect Headquarters is full of bad people! First, it was Dao Zhenhui, Elder Shu’s Registered Disciple, who tried to trick me out of my Spring Coins with Turtle Snake Snail’s Insect Eggs.”
“I met Zuo Sheng and thought he was a good person, but it turned out he was even more ruthless. He knocked me unconscious when I wasn’t prepared, stole my boundary bag, and didn’t even spare my clothes, life token, or mask. This is a great humiliation, a great humiliation for our Sixth Divine Maiden’s Mansion!”
“Right, that scoundrel Zuo Sheng is one of the Fourth Divine Son’s people. This clearly targets you!”
Yang Qingxi was meditating and seeking enlightenment in the cultivation room.
Her River of Time battle intent transformed into a Dao Heart External Manifestation, becoming even more grand and magnificent. It condensed into a celestial river flowing above the mansion, its currents surging with deafening roars.
It’s like a real river!
She opened her eyes, her gaze deep, “I told you to buy pills, but you lost my money?”
Yang Yun buried his face in the ground: “It was snatched by Zuo Sheng! I was very careful, but it was impossible to guard against everything. He is a Spirit Mind Master, and his cultivation is terrifyingly strong.”
“You are my brother, I won’t kill you. But if you can’t even do this small thing properly, how can I keep you by my side?”
Yang Qingxi’s tone was calm, and she added, “Zuo Sheng and Zuo Shi are Rice Person martial cultivators from the Zuo Qiu Gatehouse, not Spirit Mind Masters. You haven’t even figured out who robbed you, and you dare to say you were careful?”
“Go investigate this matter clearly. If you can’t investigate it clearly… come back after earning 100,000 Spring Coins!”
As the leader of the younger generation of the Sui Sect, Yang Qingxi knew almost every master in the Southern Territory like the back of her hand, with all the information stored in her mind.
