Chapter 554: Flaw

Li Yi was now preparing to find a suitable place in this extremely prosperous capital of three hundred miles to wait quietly for the change.

No matter if the cross-worlder in the Imperial Palace was his father or not, as long as he received that letter, he would definitely come to seek him. Whether he was an enemy or a friend was unknown, so he couldn't gamble. Therefore, he needed a place where he could advance to attack and retreat to defend.

"Dragon and Tiger Qi covers the entire capital, suppressing Daoist techniques, making them difficult to cast, like a great formation trapping all cultivators. But since it is a formation, there must be a flaw. As long as I find that gap, I can avoid the influence of the Dragon and Tiger Qi."

Li Yi looked up at the firmament, searching for the flaws in the capital.

It was a pity that his cultivation time was short, and he wasn't very proficient in heaven and earth formations. However, his comprehension was high.

Moreover, this formation formed by the Dragon and Tiger Qi hadn't been constructed by a master, but had emerged as the times required, so it wasn't perfect. Finding the flaw wasn't difficult.

It was just that while Li Yi was strolling in the capital, he already felt that he was being followed.

Although the other party was very cautious, they didn't escape his perception.

"It's the Embroidered Uniform Guards."

Li Yi thought to himself. He discovered the aura of many evolutionists. These auras, although not obvious to others, were like candles in the dark night to him, very eye-catching, making them hard to ignore.

"The defensive power of this capital is truly not weak. Outside, there are Nation-Protecting Divine Generals guarding, inside there are Embroidered Uniform Guards patrolling, plus the Dragon and Tiger Qi suppressing. As long as the enemy isn't too strong, it's truly impossible to cause any trouble in this city. But that's right, it's the place where the incense fire belief of the world's people gathers. If there were any trouble, it would definitely shake the foundation of the country."

He thought deeply, not caring about the Embroidered Uniform Guards in the shadows. If they liked to follow in the dark, let them follow. It wouldn't affect what he wanted to do.

About half an hour later.

Li Yi observed the mountains and rivers, the Dragon and Tiger Qi, and truly found a flaw.

There, the Dragon and Tiger Qi intersected, the aura was chaotic, yin and yang were unbalanced, and it was chaotic and unclear. The influence of the formation on that area was the smallest.

He didn't hesitate and walked toward there immediately.

He moved his feet.

His figure disappeared from the spot instantly, turning into a silver lightning bolt, sweeping across mid-air, instantly tearing through the air and rolling up a streak of light. In the distance, one could only hear the sound of muffled thunder rolling, but the person was already gone.

Such a scene shocked the nearby Embroidered Uniform Guards, who rushed out one after another.

"What a terrifying Daoist. This power is simply inhuman. Is he truly not some wild monster transformed?"

Feeling the vibration coming from the air, an Embroidered Uniform Guard's expression changed drastically, and he didn't dare to approach at all.

Just now, that Daoist was like a fierce tiger roaring in the mountains. The power overflowing from his movements was transmitted from far away, making people's hair stand on end instantly, and a sense of crisis arose.

This feeling made people not doubt for a moment that with just one strike, their bodies would explode instantly, turning into meat paste.

"This Daoist entered the capital with King Xin, so he must have some purpose. Don't lose him." Another Embroidered Uniform Guard shouted in a low voice, hurriedly chasing in that direction.

The nearby Embroidered Uniform Guards also acted rapidly.

Although the operation of Daoist techniques was hindered, Li Yi's Gang Qi was still there. Having opened fourteen major acupoints, plus his Dragon and Tiger bloodline, his Qi and blood were terrifyingly vigorous, and his Gang Qi had turned from virtual to real. Although he couldn't ride the clouds and mist, low-altitude flight was not a problem at all.

Soon.

A silver lightning bolt descended from the sky and landed on a stone bridge.

The lightning dissipated, and Li Yi's figure appeared.

The nearby pedestrians were startled and looked toward this side in terror.

Li Yi didn't pay attention. At this moment, before him was a large lake artificially excavated. On the large lake were countless boats. These boats were decorated with lanterns and colored streamers, brightly lit, coming and going incessantly.

"This is the place. The place where nine waters return to one, the place where the Dragon and Tiger intersect. The lake is circular, like a dragon pearl. It looks like luck is gathering, but it is actually chaotic and unclear, with mixed Qi."

He already felt that the invisible shackles on his magic power had been lifted a lot, and his whole body felt a sense of ease.

However, he wasn't at the center yet and needed to continue walking for a distance.

"The center of the lake is where the flaw lies." Li Yi realized, and just as he was about to continue, suddenly, the nearby Embroidered Uniform Guards could no longer hold back and rushed out from all directions.

The number was small, only eight or nine people.

But each one was elite, their eyes glowing brightly in the night, each one running like the wind.

"Inspiration Realm." Li Yi glanced at them.

With such strength, they could already walk sideways in this world without encountering incense fire gods. If they took another step forward, condensed their souls, and gathered some incense fire, they would undergo a qualitative change, mobilizing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, possessing all kinds of unimaginable magic techniques and supernatural powers, bringing a different path of cultivation to this world.

"Daoist, you have great ability. You crossed thirty miles in an instant. If I hadn't received the news early, I truly wouldn't dare to believe I could meet you here."

A middle-aged man wearing a gold medal at his waist, holding a precious sword, and wearing a flying fish suit walked over with large strides, his face solemn.

His appearance made the nearby pedestrians scatter like birds and beasts.

In the capital, who didn't know that one shouldn't provoke the Embroidered Uniform Guards? They could execute first and report later, had great power, and each one had shocking strength. Someone had seen with their own eyes that the most ordinary Embroidered Uniform Guard had punched a mad tiger that escaped from a pharmacy to death with three punches, then walked away and disappeared.

"I am the Thousand-Household of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, Liu Liu Lingyun. Greetings, Daoist Tai Yi."

This Embroidered Uniform Guard stopped three zhang away from Li Yi, then cupped his hands and bowed, his attitude neither humble nor arrogant.

Other Embroidered Uniform Guards didn't approach, only holding their precious swords, standing all around, and scaring away the crowd. Li Yi said: "I already told you not to disturb this poor Daoist. You can go play by yourselves and don't bother me."

After saying this, he waved his hand, signaling them to leave.

"For such a formidable person as you, Daoist, I dare not be careless. I don't know what purpose you have in bringing King Xin into the capital? I, as a Thousand-Household of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, have quite a bit of ability. If there is anything I can help you with, I will definitely do my best and will definitely satisfy you." Liu Liu Lingyun said.

"Want to help? That's fine. Who taught you Embroidered Uniform Guards to cultivate? Just bring that person to this poor Daoist." Li Yi said calmly.

Liu Liu Lingyun was stunned, then said: "This is a secret. I cannot reveal even a bit, otherwise, my three degrees of kinship will be exterminated. Daoist, you'd better change to another request."

"Since you can't do it, stop talking nonsense here. A mere Inspiration Realm has no qualification to manage this poor Daoist's business." Li Yi said.

As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Liu Lingyun's eyes shrank suddenly.

Not just him.

All the other Embroidered Uniform Guards nearby also looked shocked.

Inspiration Realm?

Where did this Daoist get such important imperial court secrets? One must know that any bit of information about the Embroidered Uniform Guards couldn't be leaked. Even these Thousand-Households usually had to be cautious in their words. If they leaked it, either they died, or the other party died.

【Note: Repetitive filler phrase.】

Yet such an important secret was casually spat out by this Daoist.

Instantly.

They drew their swords and looked left and right.

An Embroidered Uniform Guard moved immediately. He leaped up and rushed into the nearest shop nearby, preparing to carry out the act of silencing the witness, regardless of who the other party was.

It was just because Li Yi's words might have been heard, so they would rather kill the wrong person than let one go.

An Embroidered Uniform Guard with Inspiration Realm strength wanting to kill—who in this capital could resist?

But at this moment.

Boom!

A silver lightning bolt struck down from thin air.

That Embroidered Uniform Guard preparing to silence the witness sensed a fatal danger and hurriedly dodged, but he was a step too late and was struck on half of his body, fainting on the spot.

Li Yi was expressionless and said: "Is this kind of silencing method useful? If this poor Daoist shouts a few times, wouldn't you have to kill everyone in the capital? It's better to save some effort. If you want to silence the witness, I suggest you kill this poor Daoist first. If this poor Daoist doesn't die, your secret of cultivation won't be kept."

Liu Liu Lingyun and the other Embroidered Uniform Guard Thousand-Households looked solemn.

That lightning bolt falling from thin air had enough power to kill a master. If they fought this Daoist, they feared that even if they exhausted all the Embroidered Uniform Guards in the capital, it would be of no use.

Sure enough.

This job was truly hard to handle, and if they weren't careful, something big would happen.

"This poor Daoist doesn't like to force others. You can't ask anything from your mouths either. Tomorrow, many things will naturally have a result." After Li Yi finished speaking, he waved his Daoist robes again, signaling them to leave.

Liu Liu Lingyun didn't speak. He wasn't the Daoist's match, but he had to watch him so that if there was any movement, he would know immediately.

Seeing that these people were still standing still, Li Yi suddenly shouted, his fist intent condensing, and killing intent emerging: "Get out."

Instantly.

All the Embroidered Uniform Guards triggered their inspiration, instantly feeling a fatal killing intent enveloping their whole bodies. They couldn't avoid it, couldn't escape it. Under the loss of their heart and mind, they vaguely saw a furious Vajra, riding a dragon and tiger, suppressing them.

At this moment, they felt like grass, ants, being crushed by an immeasurable divine might, and their whole bodies couldn't stop trembling.

Pfft!

A mouthful of blood sprayed out, and all the Embroidered Uniform Guard Thousand-Households turned pale instantly, their eyes went black, and they collapsed, suffering heavy injuries.

When they regained consciousness, they discovered that the Daoist had already disappeared, not knowing where he had gone.

"Who is this Daoist Tai Yi? Why does he have such terrifying strength? What are those few Nation-Protecting Divine Generals doing? Enjoying the incense fire of twelve dynasties, yet they let such a person enter the capital." Liu Liu Lingyun trembled all over. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. At this moment, he couldn't even hold the precious sword at his waist.

His heart and mind were suppressed by the fist intent, as if covered by a layer of shadow that couldn't be dissolved.

Just by recalling it, he vaguely saw the furious Vajra riding a dragon and tiger manifest again.

In this situation, he actually found that his fighting spirit was gone, and he didn't even have the heart to hold a sword and kill, only wanting to be a coward, flee this place, and go far away.

"Report this matter quickly."

There was also a Thousand-Household who gritted his teeth, supported his body, and stood up. He summoned a subordinate, then asked him to lead a horse over, wanting to go to the Imperial Palace.

But after walking a few steps, this Thousand-Household's eyes went black, and he fainted directly.

This was soul damage.

In the end, only Liu Liu Lingyun and another Thousand-Household managed to support themselves, took over this matter, and galloped away on horseback.
