Chapter 212: Facing Luan Sheng And Lin You Directly
Cang Li stared at the wide-open garden gate, seeing that the enemies truly did not act rashly, quickly figuring out the reason, a look of admiration appearing in his eyes, then lightly sighing: “Useless! They have superior numbers, even if they temporarily dare not act rashly due to fear, but once someone in charge arrives, they can directly organize forces for a ranged attack and level this courtyard.”
Li Weiyi sat on the stone steps inside the gate, holding Cang Li and Yin Nine’s two invitation letters, examining them carefully.
Yin Nine was ranked in Third Class.
The invitation letter contained only one Dragon Bone Ticket.
The Dragon Bone Ticket was a small, fingernail-sized Golden Bone Granule embedded in the jade material of the invitation letter.
Below the Golden Bone Granule was a simple map of Qiu Prefecture City, with the Inner City as Eight Trigrams and the Outer City as just a few lines. The positions of eighty Dragon Seed Vouchers and seventy-nine Dragon Bone Tickets all flickered and moved on the map.
This could only count as an approximate position.
Cang Li’s invitation letter not only had a Dragon Bone Ticket and Dragon Seed Voucher, but also two Longevity Pill Vouchers, as well as the location of the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival venue.
The top ten masters, he was indeed on the list.
However, perhaps because the invitation letter level was too high, the map only marked the positions of the remaining Longevity Pill Vouchers.
Li Weiyi said: “With the situation outside, can I leave?”
“Li Jiufu said that at the bottom of Qin Garden lake, there is a box of Thunder Law Profound Ice, plus my recovered combat power, it’s enough to open a way to live for you. Whether you can escape alive depends on your ability…”
Cang Li suddenly asked: “Is Li Ling still alive?”
Li Weiyi nodded.
Cang Li closed his eyes, exhaling a satisfied breath: “Then take good care of her! If you really can’t escape, hand over the invitation letters, lower your posture, kneeling to beg for mercy isn’t shameful, preserving your life is most important…”
“Can you kneel?”
Li Weiyi gave him a glance: “These two invitation letters can’t be kept today! But taking them out of the city and letting them become waste paper would be too wasteful.”
Cang Li’s eyes pondered deeply: “What do you plan to do?”
“The jianghu isn’t about fighting and killing, but about human relations. Luan Sheng Lin You wants the invitation letters, wants your lives, give them to whoever can save your lives.” Li Weiyi said.
Cang Li shook his head: “First, no one dares to take them. Second, no one can arrive in time to save us. Third, you may not be able to deliver the invitation letters. You want to drive away wolves with tigers, but unfortunately the wolves in the city are leaderless, besides us, no one dares to directly confront Luan Sheng Lin You head-on.”
“Actually there’s a fourth, without sufficiently strong strength to back it up, even if you deliver the invitation letters, you won’t have the qualification to negotiate.”
Li Weiyi said: “What you said isn’t entirely right. Luan Sheng Lin You is indeed very fearsome, besides Ge Xian Tong and us, no one dares to confront him directly. But a heavily injured Luan Sheng Lin You may not be!”
“Think about it, if they truly didn’t dare to be enemies with him, Lu Cangsheng, Long Dian, Zhu Yi Bai and the others would have already turned back, how could they participate in the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival? They are just waiting for an opportunity, waiting for Luan Sheng Lin You and Ge Xian Tong to be injured, all wanting to reap the benefits.”
Cang Li began to think seriously.
Li Weiyi asked: “How much has your Magic Energy recovered?”
“A short battle is no problem. But the injuries will definitely worsen to an irrecoverable state, in other words, only a final desperate battle remains.” Cang Li said.
“Then don’t fight!”
Li Weiyi took out the Ghost Flag and stuffed it into his hand: “At the critical moment, activate it. Didn’t you say that without enough strength, others won’t negotiate with us? This is our only remaining strength and confidence!”
Li Weiyi had asked Jar Master and the others; the Ghost Flag and Black Iron Seal had significant origins, but they could be exposed at life and death moments.
The subsequent troubles wouldn’t be too great.
Cang Li stared at Li Weiyi’s back as he went to the backyard to retrieve the Thunder Law Profound Ice, feeling that in less than a year, this youth had undergone a earth-shaking metamorphosis. The confidence and determination in his tone, the composure and fearlessness in his eyes, were just like after a thousand tempers.
One must know, in such a perilous situation, even his own heart was in despair, without considering the possibility of turning the tables.
On the street outside.
“Bang! Bang!”
The sounds of two heavy flesh and blood objects hitting the ground rang out.
Then Luan Sheng Lin You’s overbearing and unique aura approached from afar, appearing outside Qin Garden.
Outside Qin Garden’s gate, the two fallen corpses were both wearing black Night-walking Clothes, Yin Fifteen and Yin Sixteen; one had a shattered head, the other had a collapsed body, flesh and blood blurred.
“Dong! Dong…”
Crisp knocking sounds continued, like the hellish tone urging death.
All the Martial Cultivators on the street looked toward the rear, retreating to clear a passage.
Luan Sheng Lin You used Cang Li’s Silver Spear, casually knocking the ground, advancing step by step, with a wine cup-sized blood hole in his chest.
Unfortunately, he was not human, his heart was not in that position.
His full head of long hair shifted between silver and white, his face having an eerie and cold handsome beauty: “Able to penetrate my chest with one spear, among East Dragon West Pig, South Tiger North Sword, you can rank first! But why did you flee? I can only use your spear to kill those two Jiu Li martial cultivators who weren’t qualified to die by my hand, only then did my anger subside a bit.”
Luan Sheng Lin You swept his gaze over the crowd ahead, questioning: “What are you all standing here for? Standing here can scare the enemies to death?”
Ming Nian Sheng was the first to step forward, explaining the situation at Qin Garden, also relaying Yuwen Tuozhen’s analysis.
Luan Sheng Lin You coldly glanced at Yuwen Tuozhen: “The enemies proactively opened the gate, and you don’t dare enter? I see, you’re clearly afraid of being taken out together by Cang Li and Li Jiufu’s dying counterattack.”
“Since you’re wary of the Thunder Law Profound Ice deployed inside, then use ranged attacks, break the formation first, crush inch by inch, let them die under their own deployed Thunder Law Profound Ice.”
At these words, the leaders of various forces like Yuwen Tuozhen felt as if granted amnesty, hurriedly going to arrange manpower, organizing Great Mind Masters, bow and crossbow Martial Cultivators, and ranged attack Magic Tools.
Bai Shu, upon Luan Sheng Lin You’s arrival, had been scared and fled back into the garden; the opponent’s aura and Mind Power were too strong.
But as soon as she fled back, she was grabbed by Li Weiyi: “Help me move this box of Thunder Law Profound Ice out!”
Li Weiyi walked to the side of Yin Ten’s corpse, pausing for a moment, removed the Night-walking Clothes from his body, and covered her face with it. Then, with even darker eyes, dressed in white martial robes, he stepped out through the gate.
He had no confidence in his heart either, not knowing if he could return after walking out this gate.
But the path of cultivation could not possibly be a calm lake in the mountains, but a raging river surging toward the great sea.
Holding the two invitation letters, he quickly descended the stone steps in front of the gate, shouting in a tone that shocked without perishing: “Luan Sheng Lin You, if you had a bit less arrogance and a bit more Reason, you wouldn’t kill Cang Li and Li Jiufu, plunging yourself into the Abyss of failure.”
The group of Martial Cultivators preparing to launch an attack on Qin Garden were startled badly.
Who was so bold, simply like pointing at Luan Sheng Lin You’s nose and scolding him as an arrogant and conceited fool.
Bai Shu, who was using Mind Power to transport the box of Thunder Law Profound Ice, was scared black before the eyes by Li Weiyi, secretly regretting why she had come to Qin Garden with this true Barbarian Thief.
“Insolent!”
The sound of the bowstring rang deafeningly.
A Magic Tool Profound Ice Arrow, bringing a piercing whistle, instantly arrived before Li Weiyi.
It was shot by a Martial Cultivator cultivating the Seventh Sea, using a high-grade Magic Tool War Bow.
Li Weiyi executed Spirit Treasure Seizing, only extending his right hand, yet dozens of hand shadows appeared to steadily catch the incoming arrow. He diverted the arrow’s Impact force to his feet.
“Boom!”
He stood unmoving in place, but the stone slabs within two zhang around his feet were completely shattered, forming spiderweb-like cracks.
This single move shocked many Martial Cultivators present.
Not only the powerful strength and exquisite technique, but also the calmness and tranquility in his eyes were enough to make people look at him highly.
Li Weiyi unlocked the runes on the half-person-high Metal Box, opened the lid, and Cold Air and purple electric glows escaped. Then, he placed the two invitation letters on the Thunder Law Profound Ice.
“You all better not act rashly. Thunder Law Profound Ice is very unstable. Placed on it are two Longevity Pills, one Dragon Seed, two Dragon Bones. If they’re destroyed by accident, it would be too unworthy.”
Li Weiyi stood proudly upright, the arrow tip of the Profound Ice Arrow in his hand pressing against the two invitation letters, sweeping his gaze over everyone present, clashing with countless eyes, and said to Bai Shu: “Help me Transport the corpses of my two senior disciple brothers back.”
Bai Shu couldn’t ask for more, hurriedly carrying the corpses back inside the gate.
Someone recognized Li Weiyi: “It’s that Li Weiyi who claims to defeat all same-realm enemies in five moves. Isn’t he Fourth Stage of Five Seas Realm? How could he catch that arrow just now?”
“He didn’t just catch it, he took the arrow away!”
“There really is Thunder Law Profound Ice. Good thing we didn’t rashly charge in earlier. If there’s one box, there must be many boxes.”
No one knew if Thunder Law Profound Ice could destroy Du’e Temple’s invitation letters, so for the time being, no one acted rashly.
Luan Sheng Lin You’s pupils shone with brilliant silver light, scrutinizing the man at the center of the opposite street, as if trying to see where his confidence came from.
Ming Nian Sheng standing beside him said: “This kid is too ignorant of death. Let me kill him.”
“A Fifth Seas Realm Fourth Stage Martial Cultivator can make you angry?”
Luan Sheng Lin You waved his hand, then raised his voice: “You’d better say something reasonable, I can leave your corpse intact. Otherwise, the flesh of a genius who defeats same-realm enemies in five moves, many Demonic Cultivators want to taste it.”
Li Weiyi ignored the roaring laughter around him: “The great war between Zuo Qiu Gatehouse and the Imperial Court hasn’t ended. If the Jiu Li Clan exits the stage now, Zuo Qiu Gatehouse has no other choice but to immediately side with the Imperial Court in exchange for a way to live. Guess who they would target first?”
“If the Jiu Li Clan doesn’t exit, Zuo Qiu Gatehouse and the Imperial Court will never truly join hands. Because Zuo Qiu Gatehouse backed by the Jiu Li Clan is too strong, the Threat too great, how could the Imperial Court join hands with such a strong Zuo Qiu Gatehouse?”
Luan Sheng Lin You thought for a moment: “A bit reasonable, but not quite enough.”
Li Weiyi continued: “You’re injured! Are you sure you want to face the joint siege of Zuo Qiu Gatehouse and the Imperial Court while heavily wounded? Even if you win, your injuries will worsen further. At that time, the enemies you’ll face will be even more.”
Luan Sheng Lin You said: “Then wouldn’t I be letting the tiger return to the mountain?”
Li Weiyi said: “You know better than anyone how severely Cang Li and Li Jiufu are injured; it’s impossible to heal within half a month. Even if tigers, they’re just two sick tigers, no longer a great threat. Killing them now is too unwise, merely to vent the hatred in your heart.”
A smile appeared on Luan Sheng Lin You’s icy cold face: “Very reasonable! If Cang Li said this now, I would definitely take people and leave! But Cang Li and Li Jiufu don’t even dare show themselves, letting a Fifth Seas Realm Fourth Stage Martial Cultivator like you speak out. Could it be they’ve been injured to the point of coma, or completely lost combat power? If that’s the case, why should I let them go instead of Grappling them as hostages?”
Li Weiyi secretly admired Luan Sheng Lin You’s wisdom, guessing the inside situation eight or nine out of ten.
If Cang Li showed up now, he would definitely be seen through by masters regarding the anomalies in his injury state.
No need for Luan Sheng Lin You to instruct.
Already a Deformed Humanoid Race figure shot out swiftly, laughing strangely: “A mere nobody dares to negotiate with the Young Esteemed One. Once this monk kills you, I can naturally Probe Cang Li and Li Jiufu’s injury status. Haha!”
“Roar!”
A five-zhang-long Golden Tiger Battle Intent manifested, Nirvana Truth was already before Li Weiyi, bringing a brilliantly golden huge Tiger Claw light shadow, reaching out to strike.
