Chapter 336: Lu Cangsheng Returns
Realm breakthrough, whole body power greatly increased.
Li Weiyi looked toward the Buddha shrine in the blood mud on the ground, that foot-long square iron box, channeling full magic power into his arms.
Too heavy…
Still can’t lift it!
These past days, Li Weiyi tried every method, but couldn’t open the iron box, could only wait for higher cultivation before studying it again.
His gaze fell again on Tang Wanzhou sitting cross-legged not far away.
It had to be said, this Young Lord of the Northern Territory had truly outstanding looks and temperament, long ponytail, black robe, slender waist and chest curves extremely beautiful.
The jade-white skin of the Pure Immortal Body diluted the heroic air on her, letting one feel her inner feminine beauty.
Even in a deathly still state, her whole person was straight and upright, sharp like a divine sword.
Which man before dared to stare so directly, appraising her like a fine work of art?
Li Weiyi in the past had never treated her as a woman, let alone appreciate her in such an offensive way for so long, there was an indescribable thrill.
The headache was, inviting a god was easy, sending one off difficult. Li Weiyi had tried pulling her out of the blood mud space, but met her fierce resistance, ending in failure.
Didn’t dare push her too far, in case she woke and killed him again.
At present, Li Weiyi couldn’t hand her over to Snow Sword Tang Court either.
He had just left the headquarters, and Tang Wanzhou immediately appeared, not arousing suspicion from Rice Cult strong practitioners would be strange.
…
Li Weiyi cultivated for ten days, but outside, only two days passed.
Pushing open the cabin door, river breeze wafted gently.
He looked toward the river surface and distant shore, immediately feeling refreshed and open.
The weather had cleared, not a speck of dust in the air.
It was afternoon, the plain on the east bank of the River had disappeared. A majestic mountain range covered in white snow appeared before them, the peaks illuminated golden by the sun.
On the river surface, the golden mountain peak reflections connected with the shore, the scenery grand and majestic.
Knowing he had emerged from seclusion, Taishi Bai came downstairs, wearing silver-embroidered fine clothes, outer wrapped in white mink fur, exuding nobility.
He walked on the corridor, laughing: “Brother Zuo finally out of seclusion, in another hour, we’ll reach Leiling City. After that no more ships, must travel four hundred li by land to reach Nanyan Pass, then enter the pass.”
“I’ve already dispatched retainers ahead to arrange everything in Leiling City. Tonight most likely the Leiling City Lord will host a welcome banquet for us, Brother Zuo must join us, don’t sneak off quietly.”
That was exactly Li Weiyi’s plan.
His thoughts pointed out, he couldn’t help an embarrassed smile, asking: “These two days, have evil cult people appeared again?”
Taishi Bai’s expression prudent: “After that battle, I’ve always felt a vague sense of being watched, evil cult demon people most likely tailing us from the shore. Brother Zuo need not mind, once in Leiling City, it’s my Taishi Family’s core territory, won’t tolerate their arrogance.”
Taishi Bai left, going to direct house servants and maids to pack luggage, goods, carriage, exotic beasts, preparing to disembark.
“Rumble!”
On the distant snow mountain, a lightning bolt struck, electric light flashing everywhere.
Tuo Ba Bu Tuo wrapped his whole body in a gray robe, wearing a mask to conceal his Silver Pure Immortal Body. He walked to Li Weiyi’s side, looking at the electric lights constantly falling amid the snow mountain peaks: “Brother Weiyi, do you know why Leiling City is called Leiling City?”
Li Weiyi asked: “Why?”
Qi Xiao appeared on Li Weiyi’s other side, dressed like Tuo Ba Bu Tuo: “Leiling refers to Thirty-Six Tombs of Lei! The former master of Yun Tian Immortal Plain was Lei Xiao Sect. Thirty-Six Tombs of Lei are the thirty-six transcendent tombs in Lei Xiao Sect history.”
“Leiling City is where the former Lei Xiao Sect tomb guardians lived, now it’s Liang Prefecture’s second largest city, extremely prosperous.”
Tuo Ba Bu Tuo said: “Over a dozen years of warfare, the Twenty-eight Prefectures’ former officials all contracted to eight prefectures. Leiling City counts as a giant city at the foot of the immortal plain, population millions, must have Heaven Pavilion open. Tonight we go to Heaven Pavilion, no drunkenness no rest.”
“Fear we can’t go! Taishi Bai already invited us to the city lord mansion’s welcome banquet tonight. Old Qi, what are you looking at?” Li Weiyi asked.
Qi Xiao’s gaze fell on the bow, seeing an extremely alluring graceful figure, rainbow clothes bright, skin white to dazzling, black hair with extreme luster. A white tail dangled a short section outside the skirt.
She stood together with Taishi Bai, snuggling close, laughing and chatting, just like an immortal couple.
But that tall graceful figure seemed to sense the three’s gazes, turned back for a glance, then vanished in an instant, speed eerily fast.
Li Weiyi reminded: “Old Qi, is this you never seeing a stunning beauty? Feels like your soul got hooked away.”
Qi Xiao took a deep breath, recovered, eyes full of shock: “Where was my soul hooked, I was scared! Why do I feel she’s that demon woman from Dragon Family?”
“I feel it’s her too.” Tuo Ba Bu Tuo said.
Li Weiyi said: “What are you talking about?”
Qi Xiao said: “That woman just now flirting with Taishi Bai, most likely another successor level heaven’s proud daughter from Dragon Family, famous twenty years ago, said to have half demon race bloodline.”
“Long Xiangcen!” Tuo Ba Bu Tuo said.
Li Weiyi said: “How does Dragon Family have so many successors?”
Qi Xiao bitter smile: “Dragon Family is a peak state ten million gateways, in one Jia Zi, several successors is normal.”
“Successors also have high and low, mine can only count as lowest stream.” Tuo Ba Bu Tuo said: “Dragon Gate’s First Successor, only Long Dian qualifies, pity died in Tang Wan Qiu and Lu Cangsheng’s hands.”
The post ship arrived at the ferry terminal.
Already a large group of people came to welcome, many in official robes, carriages and exotic beasts filling the shore.
Lady Long and Long Xiangcen never got off the carriage from start to finish, only Taishi Bai showed up.
Really couldn’t refuse, Li Weiyi attended the city lord mansion’s welcome banquet. Tuo Ba Bu Tuo and Qi Xiao disguised as attendants, didn’t take seats.
At the banquet, Lady Long and Long Xiangcen also didn’t appear.
Officialdom wine gatherings, Li Weiyi really not interested. Taking advantage of Taishi Bai surrounded by Leiling City’s officials toasting, he quickly withdrew, “escaping” the city lord mansion with Tuo Ba Bu Tuo and Qi Xiao.
Rice Cult headquarters’ meals, really not complimentary, owed the stomach a year’s debt.
The three headed straight to Heaven Pavilion, preparing to properly reward themselves.
Heaven Pavilion belongs to Thousand Mile Mountain, doesn’t participate in under heaven strife, thus strictly protects guests’ secrets and privacy, no worry of identity leak. Many secret transactions and gatherings happen here.
Tuo Ba Bu Tuo was a great clan scion who knew enjoyment, not only ordered a full table of delicious food, but also rare young beauties to play music, dance and pour wine, could be called luxurious.
Li Weiyi wasn’t unworldly, naturally had beauties accompanying at his side, occasionally feeding a cup of fine wine to his lips.
Faded for a year, most time in secluded cultivation eating dry rations.
Wine, seemed not so hard to drink.
Tuo Ba Bu Tuo didn’t fully relax vigilance, communicating via sound transmission: “Actually Old Qi and I were overestimating ourselves, even if our identities exposed, Taishi Family people wouldn’t take it too seriously. They may not know, one year ago I entered the underground immortal mansion with the Young Lord, and got trapped inside.”
“Brother Weiyi, you’re different! Your Jiu Li Hidden Sect hidden person identity is far more important than mine, plus some treasures on you.”
Qi Xiao pale-faced, fast walked in from outside, like scared: “Do you know who I just bumped into on the way back?”
Qi Xiao frequently visited Heaven Pavilion and Immortal Forest, discerning eye high, felt others’ arrangements unsuitable, just now personally went to the inner courtyard to select beauties.
Tuo Ba Bu Tuo waved hand, had the various women temporarily withdraw.
Qi Xiao downed three cups in a row, before suppressing heart’s shock: “Just now I brushed past Long Ting, luckily used disguise art, restrained aura. Otherwise, definitely trouble.”
Tuo Ba Bu Tuo said: “Long Ting may not recognize Southern Territory’s Qi Xiao.”
Qi Xiao not even in mood to curse him, slapped the table: “Several days ago, Long Ting appeared at headquarters with Luan Sheng Lin You, now showing up in Leiling City, what does it mean? Luan Sheng Lin You very likely also in Heaven Pavilion.”
Li Weiyi and Tuo Ba Bu Tuo’s eyes suddenly chilled, both had blood feud with Luan Sheng Lin You.
Precisely, Qi Xiao’s younger brother also indirectly died by their hands.
Li Weiyi said: “I’ll go scout, you two don’t act rashly, maybe Old Qi already exposed. Moreover, if Luan Sheng Lin You not there, Long Ting alone, how can we miss this great chance to deal with him?”
Putting on fourth rank Hundred Character Artifact level invisibility cloak, Li Weiyi restrained his aura to the extreme, slowly stealthily moving toward the direction Qi Xiao pointed.
Not daring to stir even a bit of wind force.
Not long after, outside one courtyard full of blooming white plum blossoms, discovered Long Ting’s lingering aura.
The whole courtyard enveloped in formation, without breaking it, impossible to know inside situation. But once break formation, definitely alarm the martial cultivators inside.
Li Weiyi didn’t act rashly, light as a leaf, landed on an ancient plum tree barrel-thick by the wall, peering inside the wall.
“Heavenly Eye!”
Brow center vertical eye opened, immediately the true scene inside the formation screen appeared.
Just one glance, Li Weiyi’s heart jumped fiercely.
In the courtyard, by a smoking spirit pool, in a lapis lazuli octagonal pavilion, a figure in starlight robe sat inside, face handsome to demonic, long hair alternating silver and white, elegantly sipping from a cup.
Just the figure alone gave an indescribable sense of profundity and danger.
Long Ting stood outside the pavilion, reporting something to him.
Additionally seven or eight figures gathered in the empty ground at the courtyard’s southwest corner, where thirty coffins were neatly arranged.
What truly shocked Li Weiyi was, Long Xiangcen was actually in the pavilion too. Her long jade legs lifted, straddling Luan Sheng Lin You’s lap, arms hooked around his neck, extremely seductive and bold, fluffy tail swaying back and forth.
This relationship… Li Weiyi just couldn’t understand!
Clearly Long Xiangcen always intimate with Taishi Bai like lovers, how even more intimate with Luan Sheng Lin You?
Suddenly.
In the pavilion, one hand sipping drink, one hand lightly embracing Long Xiangcen’s waist, Luan Sheng Lin You sensed something, that pair of emotionless eyes looked toward the blooming plums outside the courtyard, doubt rising in his eyes.
Just about to send someone to check.
The formation opened.
Chen Wenwu fast stepped into the courtyard, urgently reporting: “Young Esteemed One, latest news, Lu Cangsheng is back! Someone saw him and Lei Xiao Sect’s martial cultivators, at nightfall, entered Thirty-Six Tombs of Lei.”
Luan Sheng Lin You showed an interested smile, lightly patted Long Xiangcen’s jade shoulder, signaling her to rise: “Waited two years for their ten people. Long Ting, want to go meet this once-in-a-millennium hero of Lei Xiao Sect, see how much he’s progressed cultivating at Du’e Temple?”
