*********************************
Li Weiyi's heart sank as he met Luansheng Linyou's indifferent gaze.
He couldn't gauge how much Long Xiangcen meant to him.
"It can't be that he came here for me, can it?"
"Weren't you investigating me? Of course I had to come," Luansheng Linyou replied.
Li Weiyi's mind raced.
He realized his actions over the past month hadn't gone unnoticed.
This man was indeed exceptionally sharp.
Maintaining a calm facade, Li Weiyi feigned ignorance, "You sent thirty Undead powerhouses to fuse their souls with thirty Dao Seed Realm Martial-Mystic Cultivators from the Imperial Court. What were you planning?"
Luansheng Linyou couldn't possibly know that Li Weiyi was already aware of their core secret: their plan to attack Lingxiao City.
After all, the interrogation results obtained from Hidden One showed that even Si Kong Jingyuan was only carrying out a partial mission and remained completely in the dark about the details.
Luansheng Linyou said, "Since you're already a dead man, there's no harm in telling you. This year's Shangyuan Festival, the show continues. At that time, the Demon Clan's army will crush the Western Sea Slaves and the Zhu Clan in one fell swoop, seizing the entire Western Territory."
Li Weiyi knew he was being tested and that Luansheng Linyou wasn't telling the truth.
His expression suddenly darkened, "You intend to sow chaos in Lingxiao City to distract the Imperial Court? Was the Ghost Infant Incident also your doing?"
Luansheng Linyou had been observing Li Weiyi's reaction.
"Well..."
"Boom!"
The rear of the carriage was struck with tremendous force.
The entire carriage was lifted into the air by a powerful force, soaring dozens of meters high.
Li Weiyi's Psychic Power detected the figure charging from behind. But the figure moved too fast, its cultivation terrifyingly high, far surpassing his own.
Before he could react, the carriage had already been sent flying.
"Whoosh!"
Li Weiyi struggled to maintain his balance, activating the Formation within the carriage.
The Formation Plate expanded outward.
Seven Dragons emerged from the plate, their heads solid, their bodies composed of flames, and their claws crackling with lightning.
The seven Dragons snaked through the air, attacking Luansheng Linyou, the Dead Spirit powerhouse wielding the Yin Banner, and Song Muchuan, who had just charged from behind.
The Dead Spirit powerhouse swung its Yin Banner, as if stirring up the winds and clouds of heaven and earth, and swallowed all seven Dragons whole.
The power and cultivation it displayed were no less than that of Chen Huang and Cao Shisan at the Jiazi Birthday Banquet.
"Today, I win!"
Luansheng Linyou transformed into a streak of starlight, appearing before the carriage door mid-air. His silver hair cascaded like a waterfall, his fingers morphed into sharp Phoenix Claws, and a chilling aura froze the carriage into a white ice cave, while scriptures enveloped Li Weiyi.
In his eyes, there was only Li Weiyi.
He didn't even glance at Long Xiangcen.
"So eager to win, do you think you can?"
Li Weiyi's gaze was resolute.
His entire arm ignited with flames as he pointed a finger, unleashing the Ember Annihilation Finger Technique.
Martial-Mystic Path and Psychic Power instantly merged.
His finger struck the Phoenix Claw, erupting with power comparable to an Imperial Technique.
"Boom!"
Luansheng Linyou was sent flying backward, all the scriptures on his Phoenix Claw shattered.
Li Weiyi looked down and saw nothing but emptiness.
Long Xiangcen had been whisked away by a wisp of Yin Mist, appearing beside the Dead Spirit powerhouse holding the banner.
The Body-Fixing Talisman on her brow dissolved, and a torrent of Spiritual Qi erupted from her graceful form, spreading like white silk ribbons throughout the hundred-yard-wide pocket dimension.
Only then did the carriage crash to the ground with a thunderous roar.
With a flash, Li Weiyi leaped out of the carriage.
In the next instant, Tai Shi Yu's carriage was split apart by Song Muchuan's sword, wood splinters flying everywhere.
More than a hundred feet away, Luansheng Linyou stabilized his retreat, staring at his bleeding palm in disbelief.
"An Imperial Technique? Your Ancestral Field was truly crippled?"
Li Weiyi was enveloped by the Dao Heart Manifestations of Luansheng Linyou, Long Xiangcen, and Song Muchuan.
His body felt as though bound by countless chains, or as if he were carrying three mountains on his back, making it difficult to breathe.
"Even if my Ancestral Field is crippled, I still have my Wind Mansion. With the Seed Dao planted there, I can still be invincible under the same Realm."
Li Weiyi shrugged, then opened his Wind Mansion, releasing the Myriad Manifestations Staff-Spear.
"Aow! Aow..."
Li Weiyi released his Dao Heart Manifestation, transforming the surrounding hundred meters into a fiery domain.
Seven-Clawed Flame Heavenly Dragons soared in all directions, their movements constrained by the Dao Heart Manifestations of the other three. Yet, Li Weiyi managed to carve out a domain of his own.
Long Xiangcen's beautiful eyes widened in astonishment, "Seven-Clawed Heavenly Dragon... the legendary Seven-Clawed Heavenly Dragon!"
How could she not be shocked?
Luansheng Linyou's Dao Heart Manifestation was merely a Six-Clawed Immortal Dragon.
The Ancient Heavenly Emperor's Flying Dragon possessed only five claws.
Transcendent Dragons had only four claws.
Immortal Realm Dragons and Pythons had only two claws.
Yet here stood an Inferior Root Dao Seed Realm Martial-Mystic Cultivator, whose Dao Heart Manifestation was even more extraordinary than that of the Young Celestial Emperors, who possessed Dragon Clan blood.
The Six-Clawed Immortal Dragon Dao Heart Manifestation had previously caused quite a stir in the Lingxiao Realm.
Song Muchuan, wielding the Slave-Horse Cleaver, let out a chilling, sinister chuckle from his belly: "Too bad your cultivation is too low to have condensed a Dao Lotus, isn't it?"
Li Weiyi turned to Luansheng Linyou, deliberately provoking him: "At the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival, you suffered a crushing defeat, leading to the Demon Clan losing the support of the Calamity Crossing Temple and being forced into war, resulting in this current mess. You must still resent that loss. Today, I'm giving you a chance to defeat me. After today, you'll never get another opportunity."
Long Xiangcen snorted, "He's trying to provoke you. Don't fall for it. In Lingxiao City, we need to strike fast and achieve our goal."
Luansheng Linyou's gaze remained unchanged throughout.
He ordered the Dead Spirit powerhouse holding the Yin Banner, "Capture him."
The Dead Spirit powerhouse planted the Yin Banner in the ground. With a blur of movement, he unleashed unparalleled speed. His five fingers spread wide, locking onto Li Weiyi, leaving him no chance to escape.
To everyone's surprise, Li Weiyi's true target from the start had been this Dead Spirit powerhouse.
Seeing him charge forward, Li Weiyi didn't flee but instead advanced, striding boldly toward him.
He slammed his palm against his chest.
The Spatial Power of the Buddha's Relic erupted, enveloping the Dead Spirit powerhouse.
In the next instant, space collapsed inward, directly pulling him into the Blood Mud Space.
The entire arena fell silent.
Luansheng Linyou, Long Xiangcen, and Song Muchuan were stunned, unsure what had just happened.
In truth, with Li Weiyi's current cultivation, he shouldn't have been able to trap the Dead Spirit powerhouse in the Blood Mud Space.
The powerhouse was a peak existence, second only to the Giants of the Immortal Realm.
His success was due to a perfect alignment of circumstances: heaven, earth, and humanity.
Heaven: Luansheng Linyou's desire for a swift victory and capture meant the Dead Spirit powerhouse had to close in quickly.
The advantage of earth lay in the fact that the black curtain only covered a hundred-yard radius, making the space sufficiently confined.
The advantage of human came from the element of surprise. No one had anticipated Li Weiyi's move.
Without these conditions, even capturing a Seventh Heaven Dao Seed Realm Martial-Mystic Cultivator in the Blood Mud Space wouldn't have been easy.
The target could have easily sensed the danger and escaped the moment Li Weiyi activated his technique.
Luansheng Linyou assumed Li Weiyi was trying to provoke him, but Li Weiyi's true target had always been the most formidable Dead Spirit powerhouse.
As for calling upon Tang Wanzhou...
Li Weiyi wasn't willing to take that risk for now.
After all, Tang Wanzhou was involved in Yao Qian's scheme, and exposing any trace of his involvement could be disastrous.
All three powerhouses believed Li Weiyi had used some kind of spatial treasure to capture the Dead Spirit powerhouse.
They expected the powerhouse to break free soon, but several breaths passed without any sign of movement.
Long Xiangcen exclaimed in astonishment, "This is incredible! Even Thousand-Character Artifacts or Myriad-Character Artifacts would violently shake and crush from within. Its cultivation is countless times greater than yours..."
"It? I've already teleported it dozens of miles away. My spells are beyond your comprehension."
Li Weiyi spoke casually, but inwardly, he was under immense pressure.
He hadn't even had time to put on his Governor's Official Robe. Without calling upon Tang Wanzhou, surviving this crisis wouldn't be easy.
Luansheng Linyou had been deep in thought.
He finally spoke, "Don't be intimidated. The spatial pulling force just now wasn't that strong. The Fallen Spirit Commander fell because it was already charging forward, essentially leaping into the spatial trap itself."
"Li Weiyi needs time to activate that power. If we stay alert, we can handle it."
Li Weiyi secretly admired Luansheng Linyou's composure and wisdom. He had instantly seen through the deception.
Facing such an enemy was truly troublesome.
The three men took up positions in different directions, no longer underestimating Li Weiyi.
They planned to join forces to kill him.
Yet they hesitated to charge forward together, fearing they would all fall into the spatial trap.
Li Weiyi gripped his Myriad Manifestations Staff-Spear, his Psychic Field expanding, his mind stretched taut.
None of these three were weaker than him.
Song Muchuan, at the Seventh Heaven of the Dao Seed Realm, was far stronger than him.
Securing the current stalemate had already been incredibly difficult.
"One against three, i have no chance of winning. But if i can hold you off for a while, the higher-ups in Lingxiao City will notice, and you'll be doomed. I advise you to retreat now that your plan has failed. Continuing this fight is just a matter of pride and foolishness."
Li Weiyi stood tall and imposing, radiating an aura of invincibility, utterly devoid of fear.
Long Xiangcen chuckled: "Can a Third Heaven Dao Seed Realm cultivator and a Five-Star Spiritual Master really defeat a Sixth Heaven Dao Seed Realm Inheritor? I think there's still a gap, wouldn't you agree?"
"Whoosh!"
Her form blurred into a phantom, lifting off the ground as countless demon shadows materialized, accompanied by a deafening chorus of killing intent.
Nine azure dragon scales, like nine shards of icy light, shot from her lotus sleeves. As they neared Li Weiyi, they transformed into palm-sized fans, razor-sharp as blades.
Li Weiyi activated the Secret Incantation Character Technique, encasing himself in golden armor.
His stance remained as steady as a mountain, and with his spear held high, he swung it like a dragon dancing through the air, deflecting all the incoming attacks. The impact sparked showers of fire.
Only the Great Technique, the Sixfold Samsara Burning Karma Technique, could perfectly integrate Psychic Power and the Martial-Mystic Path.
Aside from that, Li Weiyi could only use the Martial-Mystic Path and Psychic Power separately, making it difficult to achieve a combined strength greater than the sum of its parts.
The best approach was to circulate Spiritual Qi internally while simultaneously activating the Secret Incantation Character Techniques externally, combining the inner and outer forces to enhance his body's explosive power.
This was the path of the Psychic Martial-Mystic Artist.
Luansheng Linyou charged from another direction, flashing above Li Weiyi's head. His spiritual artifact robe spun with his body, scattering stardust like a brilliant starry sea pressing down.
"Karma Burning Wheel!"
Li Weiyi raised his spear and spun his body like a pivot.
The Fusang Divine Tree rose, and Golden Crow Flame erupted from his brow center spirit realm.
Spiritual Qi flames surged from his Wind Mansion, merging with the Golden Crow Flame.
Seven-Clawed Flame Heavenly Dragons flew through the Fusang Divine Tree.
The dazzling, scorching grinding wheel spun rapidly, colliding with the starry sea Luansheng Linyou had conjured.
"Boom!"
Flames and starlight exploded, unleashing a torrent of energy.
Luansheng Linyou was sent flying backward again, a muffled groan escaping his lips.
He had taken a significant blow.
But his powerful physique remained unharmed, having withstood the impact!
Li Weiyi stepped back to dispel the powerful impact.
Luansheng Linyou, at the Fifth Heaven of the Dao Seed Realm, was not only far stronger than Qin Qiu but even slightly surpassed Long Xiangcen, who was at the Sixth Heaven of the Dao Seed Realm. It was an absolutely terrifying feat - surpassing Inheritors across realms.
Inheritors were supposed to be invincible within their own realm, not to be defeated by those below them.
Clearly, Luansheng Linyou had reached the peak of the Fifth Heaven of the Dao Seed Realm, far ahead of everyone else. The spiritual artifact battle armor he wore further amplified his combat prowess.
Li Weiyi had only managed to gain the upper hand by using the Myriad Manifestations Staff-Spear to unleash the Karma Burning Wheel.
Behind him, Song Muchuan leaped several dozen meters into the air, raised his blade above his head, and slashed down with a domineering blade aura that stretched for dozens of meters.
Countless scriptures flowed across the blade aura like a river of scripture.
The Seventh Heaven of the Dao Seed Realm represented another level of existence, where Dao Fruits had been condensed. His combat power far surpassed that of Luansheng Linyou and Long Xiangcen.
This blade carried the force of heaven-splitting and earth-shattering.
"Formation!" Li Weiyi roared, his long hair surging upward, his brow center spirit realm blazing brightly.
His arm muscles bulged as he slammed the Myriad Manifestations Staff-Spear heavily into the ground.
"Whoosh!"
Stellar track patterns and dense Formation Scriptures appeared around him.
A circular Stellar Track Formation Plate materialized beneath his feet and above his head.
Seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors emerged, each at the Fourth Heaven of the Dao Seed Realm.
Their combat power, however, far exceeded that level.
They resembled seven fiery clouds, weaving around Li Weiyi and merging with the Sun, Moon, and Stars Grand Formation.
Instantly, the combined power of the eight powerhouses surged, supporting the formation.
"Boom!"
A domineering blade aura, dozens of meters long, collided with the Stellar Track Formation Plate above Li Weiyi's head.
It failed to cleave through!
Luansheng Linyou and Long Xiangcen narrowed their eyes, holding their breath.
They found it increasingly difficult to comprehend the man at the heart of the formation.
No wonder he had remained calm and composed from the start - he had been brimming with confidence.
"So this is the power of the Seventh Heaven of the Dao Seed Realm? Truly formidable. It's indeed vastly different from Martial-Mystic Cultivators in the Sixth Heaven. But now it's eight against one. Can you possibly withstand this?"
Li Weiyi raised his Myriad Manifestations Staff-Spear, and the Earth Spirit Child at its base emitted a clear, childlike laugh.
With a resounding bang, the blade aura shattered under his strike.
Li Weiyi spun the Myriad Manifestations Staff-Spear, and the Sun, Moon, and Stars Grand Formation followed suit, rotating like a grinding wheel.
Then, using the formation's power, he channeled the combined power of the eight powerhouses and unleashed a sweeping strike across the distance.
"Whoosh!"
The spearhead blazed with bright golden flames, distorting the air as it sliced through the void.
A crimson-gold tearing force shot toward Song Muchuan, dozens of meters away.
