Chapter 107: Luan Platform Angel, Jiang Ning
That Jiu Li Tribe Five Seas Realm old man heard this and was greatly moved in his heart, his gaze immediately falling on Li Weiyi as he urgently asked: “You really are Spring Gushing Realm?”
Yao Yin spoke up, explaining for Li Weiyi: “My guard is naturally Spring Gushing Realm cultivation. Even at the same realm, he wouldn’t bother to strike at a Dao Fire Ape, feeling it beneath his style. If it were truly Five Seas Realm, he’d probably be too lazy to even glance at it. After all, the Dao Fire Ape is too weak!”
Many Jiu Li Tribe martial cultivators recognized Yao Yin.
“She is the granddaughter of the Medicine Li Tribe Leader. That martial cultivator who split the Dao Fire Ape with one blade—could he really be a Nine Springs Supreme Person?”
“Haha, her commentary on the Dao Fire Ape is truly gratifying.”
“This Medicine Li Tribe is hiding deep. With one move, out comes a Pure Immortal Body and two Nine Springs Supreme Persons, each more formidable than the last.”
Yao Yin continued: “If the Dao Fire Ape hadn’t been so aggressive, wanting to kill my other guard, how could it have met such an end? It only has itself to blame for overestimating its strength.”
“You say he is Spring Gushing Realm, so he really is Spring Gushing Realm?”
How could the Tiger Demon and Wolf Demon believe that a Spring Gushing Realm could split a Dao Fire Ape with one blade?
Even Hundred Meridians Pure Silver Immortal Body couldn’t do it.
From that giant ship, a woman’s voice rang out again, laced with mocking tone: “There is an essential difference in magic energy levels between Five Seas Realm and Spring Gushing Realm. Is there really no second person here who can see through it? Whether he is Spring Gushing Realm or not, just test it and find out.”
The Tiger Demon restrained that Jiu Li Tribe Five Seas Realm old man, while the Wolf Demon took the chance to circle around, its four legs sprinting madly, rapidly closing the distance to Li Weiyi and the other two.
The Wolf Demon’s abdomen turned crimson gold, countless flames intertwining within, and the temperature of the shore air rose sharply.
“Hoo!”
A vigorous burst of flame magic energy shot out from its lung leaves sea of qi.
The flames were not scattered but condensed into crimson gold blade light and sword shadows. Wherever it surged, the ground was left with deep gouge marks.
“Good, Spring Gushing Cuts Five Seas will happen today.”
Li Weiyi shouted fearlessly, striding forward three steps. His fighting spirit and momentum surged endlessly as he fully mobilized Zu Tian Magic Energy.
Holding the blade with both hands, he swung it down.
“Boom!”
Golden blade light illuminated the river, splitting the oncoming flames.
The two forces stalemated for several breaths. The Wolf Demon ran out of follow-up power, its mouth flames extinguishing.
Yet Li Weiyi’s internal magic energy flowed endlessly, immensely thick. With soaring fighting spirit, he raised his blade and charged, engaging the Wolf Demon in close-quarters slaughter and clash.
In the earlier clash, all the martial way masters on the ships had observed intently and focused.
They discovered that the black-clothed man’s magic energy level was truly at Spring Gushing Realm—simply inconceivable.
From the distant ship, the Jiu Li Tribe’s nine leaders filed out of the cabin one after another, standing on the deck to gaze afar.
Confirming that the guard by Yao Yin’s side was truly Spring Gushing Realm, Cang Li Leader’s mood greatly improved. He joked with a laugh: “Not bad, your Medicine Li Tribe is hiding so deeply. Doesn’t act unless it does, and when it does, out come two Nine Springs Supreme Persons. That kid—what’s his background? How is his combat power so heaven-defying?”
The nine leaders had gathered here to discuss whether to cancel tomorrow’s Mang Mountain Grand Sacrifice, to avoid the young elites of the nine tribes being hunted by Demon Race and Sui Sect forces.
Such retreat would naturally be a heavy blow to Jiu Li Tribe, turning them into a laughingstock under heaven.
But not retreating meant casualties they absolutely could not bear.
It was precisely because this decision had great influence that the nine tribes’ leaders had gathered here.
Though Medicine Li Leader knew nothing of this, he still braced himself, feigning a breezy demeanor: “Just Spring Gushing Realm. Many factors influence combat power—nothing impressive. Perhaps we overestimated the Dao Fire Ape before. Against a true master, it indeed couldn’t withstand a single blow.”
Cang Li Leader Li Songlin said: “What’s there to be smug about? With such a trump card, you should have revealed it earlier.”
Beast Li Leader said: “Whether to cancel the Mang Mountain Grand Sacrifice—now it seems we need to discuss it again.”
…
That Jiu Li Tribe Five Seas Realm old man, sensing Li Weiyi was truly Spring Gushing Realm cultivation, gained great confidence. With one palm he sent the Tiger Demon flying, then shifted his form to retreat, executing a grappling hand to seize one of the Wolf Demon’s legs and hurl it fiercely.
The two demons crashed onto the shore beach, forming two large pits, immediately roaring in fury.
The Five Seas Realm old man clasped his hands behind his back, as if transformed into another person, high-spirited. He berated: “Dissatisfied? Then fight again. When our Jiu Li Tribe’s Nine Springs Supreme Person was beaten to death by the Dao Fire Ape, did we cry foul? The Dao Fire Ape was too arrogant, truly thinking itself invincible in Li Zhou? Truly thinking our Jiu Li Tribe had no one to subdue it?”
As long as the younger generation was promising, which elder wouldn’t be brimming with confidence?
Gale winds suddenly arose.
A thick, pitch-black demon cloud flew out from Yao Guan City, appearing at the dock, demonic energy enveloping several li of land.
The figure in the demon cloud was enormous, clad in armor, like a crimson ape-shaped mountain tens of meters tall. Countless low-realm martial cultivators trembled and knelt under its aura.
Several Jiu Li Tribe leaders shot out from the ship like meteors, intercepting it.
The situation escalated, with leader-level figures from major powers successively appearing, dao lights and auspicious glows rising from them, making it hard for ordinary martial cultivators to discern their forms and faces.
Among the many large ships, a small boat drifted over.
Shi Jiuzhai stood on the boat, watched the excitement for a while, then couldn’t help saying: “Fellow old friends of Tian Ya Ridge, a reminder: don’t fall for Jiu Li Tribe’s scheme. This matter is highly suspicious.”
One old ape in the standoff asked: “What suspicion?”
Shi Jiuzhai said: “How could a mortal Spring Gushing Realm that popped out of nowhere be this strong? The Dao Fire Ape was a ninety-five meridians all-silver Pure Immortal Body.”
Li Weiyi immediately sensed over ten battle intents and mind powers landing on him, but he wasn’t afraid of exposure, wearing high-grade magic tool level night-walking clothes.
Shi Jiuzhai pointed at Yao Yin, reminding Tian Ya Ridge’s demonic cultivators again: “That little girl’s mother is the renowned Yao Qingxuan. Now you should have an idea, right?”
The martial cultivators present—even Tian Ya Ridge’s demonic cultivators—were stirred with memories upon hearing “Yao Qingxuan.”
Shi Shishi lay on the small boat, a dogtail grass in his mouth, asking: “Ninth Bro, so what if her mother is Yao Qingxuan? What scheme does Jiu Li Tribe have?”
Shi Jiuzhai laughed: “You’re too young, didn’t live through those years. Yao Qingxuan is formidable, but even more so is that Great Demon far away in the Far West Ash Region behind her.”
That Tian Ya Ridge old ape instantly understood everything, moved as he said: “Law King Jiuzhai means that heaven-defying combat power Nine Springs Supreme Person kid comes from that Ash Region in the west? Jiu Li Tribe wants to use Yao Qingxuan’s daughter to stir contradiction between Tian Ya Ridge and the Far West Ash Region?”
Shi Jiuzhai scratched his head: “Jiu Li Tribe isn’t a match for Tian Ya Ridge, so naturally they can only borrow momentum. From what I know, this girl went missing for months recently and suddenly returned today.”
In that demon cloud enveloping several li, the giant ape tens of meters tall murmured: “So it’s Yao Qingxuan’s daughter! You Jiu Li Tribe are getting more insidious, more ruthless.”
With that, the demon cloud receded like tides.
Tian Ya Ridge naturally didn’t want to provoke the legendary Great Demon over one Spring Gushing demonic cultivator’s death—too extraneous and not worth the cost.
Li Weiyi watched the Tian Ya Ridge demon group fully retreat, thoughtful, his gaze turning toward Shi Jiuzhai’s direction. But the small boat had already sailed far away.
On that giant ship more than ten feet away, a slender maid-dressed woman stepped out. Her voice fused with magic energy, resounding melodiously: “My master wishes to invite the young master who slew the Dao Fire Ape aboard for a talk.”
This maid was extremely young, but her magic energy profound, her face full of arrogance.
Earlier, it was this giant ship’s mysterious woman who had seen through Li Weiyi’s cultivation level with one sentence—impressive insight.
Li Weiyi asked: “May I know who your esteemed master is?”
The maid said: “Since Your Excellency is curious, board the ship and see for yourself. With your courage, are you afraid this giant ship is a dragon’s lair or tiger’s den?”
“Swish!”
The giant ship’s formation light gauze manifested, instantly illuminating the entire Sui River and surrounding mountains, like a divine ship from the ninth heaven, making one wonder if immortals dwelt aboard.
The formation light gauze opened a one-zhang-wide gap, formally issuing the invitation.
Yao Yin was somewhat worried: “Yao Guan City now gathers forces from all sides. The other party is mysterious and unfathomably deep—friend or foe unknown. I think it’s best not to go.”
“If the other party is unfathomably deep, how could they bother with a Spring Gushing Realm martial cultivator like me?”
Li Weiyi was a person of extreme curiosity and inquisitiveness. His feet treading wisps of magic energy, he climbed along the giant ship’s outer wall, passing through the formation light gauze to land on the deck.
The light gauze closed, the formation sealing the entire giant ship.
The maid was quite young, not yet twenty years old, yet actually a Pure Immortal Body. Only in close contact could one truly sense her unfathomably deep cultivation—definitely not Spring Gushing Realm.
Li Weiyi followed her to the third layer ship tower, observing the ship along the way, wanting to figure out the ship master’s identity in advance.
“Young lady, with your Pure Immortal Body, looks, talent, and cultivation all surpassing your peers, how can you be content as a mere maid?” Li Weiyi said.
The maid was unsmiling: “If I can serve those from the heavens, wouldn’t that be a hundred times better than mortal world martial cultivators?”
Ascending to the third layer ship tower, the maid stopped, glancing at Li Weiyi and slightly covering her nose, clearly disdainful that he hadn’t bathed and burned incense.
From within the room, a pleasant voice emerged: “Can you guess this seat’s identity?”
“Originally, I couldn’t…”
Li Weiyi glanced at the maid who had retreated ten steps away, then said: “But seeing your arrogant demeanor untouched by mortal dust, I guessed it at once. I heard Luan Tai Angels have arrived in Li Zhou to procure grain and resources for the Imperial Court army. Under heaven, only Lingxiao Palace people dare call themselves people from the heavens.”
Originally, she had actively invited him, yet the invitee didn’t even have entry qualifications—this posture Li Weiyi was seeing for the first time.
The voice from the room said: “Since you’re so dissatisfied, why not turn and leave immediately?”
“Thank you, Luan Tai Angel, for sparing me.”
Li Weiyi truly didn’t want to stay here even a moment longer—heaven wasn’t a place for him. Thus, he turned to leave.
“Swish!”
The maid shifted form, instantly teleporting before him.
A chill-radiating magic tool long sword was already pressed to his neck.
“Zhuang Yue, put away the sword. Don’t treat a guest this way.”
The room voice soon added: “I am Jiang Ning. You can call me Luan Tai Angel. Fengge and Luan Tai envoys cannot share a room with men—this is the Palace Master’s rule, not intentional disrespect to Your Excellency.”
The lofty Luan Tai Angel suddenly using such courteous tone toward a wise man instead made Li Weiyi uneasy.
Zhuang Yue sheathed the sword and retreated far, glaring at him threateningly.
The room voice said directly: “I invited you aboard actually for one matter to request. In the newly expanded space in Zangxian Town, a special place has appeared with inscribed stele named Thirty-three Mile Mountain. Only Spring Gushing Realm martial cultivators can enter its core. This seat sincerely invites you to cooperate and share the treasures within.”
Li Weiyi said: “If I refuse, can I leave this ship alive?”
The room voice chuckled lightly: “Lingxiao Palace is the Imperial Court’s righteous path. If you wish to leave, you may at any time. But are you sure you want to give up the chance to enter Thirty-three Mile Mountain?”
Li Weiyi said: “If I don’t cooperate with you, I can’t enter Thirty-three Mile Mountain?”
“Can’t!”
The room voice added: “Jiu Li Tribe lacks the strength to send you into the mountain, because they have too many enemies. Yet few dare directly oppose Lingxiao Palace.”
“This claim seems off. I see the whole world opposing Lingxiao Palace. If the angel truly had such confidence, this giant ship wouldn’t need a grand formation to guard it!”
Li Weiyi took his leave and departed quickly, not daring deep involvement with Lingxiao Palace people.
He didn’t want to be enemies with the world.
Reaching the edge of the lowest deck, about to disembark, Li Weiyi thought of a key issue and hurriedly turned to bow: “Rest assured, I know better and will absolutely not expose the angel’s identity or whereabouts.”
After disembarking, Li Weiyi felt lingering fear, only wanting to get as far from that ship as possible.
What in the world?
He had nearly tangled with the greatest trouble under heaven.
Hurrying back under the medicine character flag large ship, Li Weiyi ran straight into Cang Li Leader Li Songlin standing on the shore, who was looking at him with scrutinizing eyes.
