Chapter 296: Brother-in-law

The two walked out of the gate of the Nanqing Palace.

Li Youyi felt a sense, glanced into the forest, and bowed: "Master, please wait for this disciple for a moment."

Yao Qingxuan had always liked to keep a cold demeanor and nodded slightly.

The Nanqing Palace was located in a concentrated area south of the Spirit Valley Hall, backed by low mountains, accompanied by a blood river, with dense forests in front, extending all the way to the open rice field area in the distance.

Zuo Sheng had seen Li Youyi and was an experienced person who had lived for a hundred years, so he was sent by the Fourth Divine Son to call out to Li Youyi and inform him of the recent situation of Qi Xiao and Tuoba Butuo.

Unfortunately, Li Youyi spent most of his time cultivating in the Tang Gu Sea and did not hear his call at all.

So Zuo Sheng waited outside the Nanqing Palace, and as soon as Li Youyi appeared, he would immediately go back to report.

"Finally out, it's really him. That is..."

Zuo Sheng saw Li Youyi, and at the same time saw the white-clothed woman standing with him who looked like a celestial being descending to earth, and immediately gasped, knowing who she was.

Just as he was about to leave...

"Whoosh!"

The air became thick, as if trapped in a swamp.

"Not good, I've been wrapped in mental power!"

Zuo Sheng's first reaction was that the Southern Venerable was going to deal with him; he never thought this mental power came from Li Youyi.

Because the mental power was too strong, with his cultivation at the second level of the Dao Seed Realm, his ability to act was severely restricted.

It wasn't until he saw Li Youyi flying over with a sword.

"Such a strong aura."

Zuo Sheng was terrified, immediately released his Dao Heart External Image, and countless ice crystal patterns spread from his body, breaking through Li Youyi's mental power imprisonment, and he quickly fled.

From Li Youyi's brow, three flame light whips flew out, tearing through the void and sweeping out, forming three layers of flame waves.

Zuo Sheng had practiced for a hundred years and had extremely high attainments in Dao arts. He had already practiced the minor art "Ice Thorn Entanglement" to the second level. Once displayed, his combat power could double, which was more powerful than ordinary fourth-grade hundred-character artifacts.

Dao arts are divided into minor arts, major arts, and imperial arts.

Minor arts have a total of only three levels and are the first choice for martial practitioners in the Dao Seed Realm.

Generally, it takes one or two years of hard practice to master the first level.

To practice to the second level, it takes more than ten years of polishing. The third level requires a cycle of sixty years to have a chance to master.

Of course, for martial practitioners in the Longevity Realm, the time to practice minor arts will be greatly shortened.

Major arts have a total of six levels and are the first choice for martial practitioners in the Longevity Realm and inheritors in the Dao Seed Realm.

Similarly, for the first level of practice, the power of major arts is much stronger than that of minor arts.

Moreover, major arts also have the fourth, fifth, and sixth levels. The further back, the stronger the power, which can destroy the world and move mountains and mountains. Only those great longevity beings who have lived for hundreds of years can possibly practice major arts to the sixth level.

It is precisely because Dao arts are difficult to practice that the proud sons of heaven of the younger generation generally use high-grade artifacts to make up for the gap in combat power.

Older martial practitioners prefer to use Dao arts.

Because Dao arts can be displayed as one wishes, without fear of being taken away or destroyed, and will always belong to oneself.

Moreover, many Dao arts can also promote breakthroughs in martial arts realms, with arts and methods running in parallel, complementing each other.

"Bang! Bang..."

Once the second-level Ice Thorn Entanglement was released, more than a dozen ice thorns spread from Zuo Sheng's body, colliding with the three Golden Crow flame light whips released from Li Youyi's brow in the void, whipping up whistling winds.

The scene was magnificent, and in an instant, the entire jungle was leveled.

Everywhere there were burning ashes and frozen soil.

"What a powerful Dao art. With this kind of Dao art, Zuo Sheng is like fighting me with a fourth-grade hundred-character artifact."

Li Youyi used flame light whips and mental power to drag him, displayed his movement technique, and chased him quickly, wanting to keep him.

A fourth-grade hundred-character artifact is worth hundreds of thousands of fountain coins, and a martial practitioner at the second level of the Dao Seed Realm has to empty their family fortune to afford it.

But now, Zuo Sheng can explode with such combat power just by relying on Dao arts. And at his age, how could he have only practiced one Dao art?

Unfortunately, he ran into Li Youyi.

Li Youyi wore the Blood Handprint Magic Armor at the level of a ninth-grade hundred-character artifact. Such defense could not be pierced by minor arts. Although Li Youyi had not yet reached the Dao Seed Realm and could not stimulate the true power of the Blood Handprint Magic Armor.

Stimulating the defense of the Blood Handprint Magic Armor, Li Youyi walked through the ice thorns, feeling the cold air cutting his face, and after approaching, he slashed down with a sword.

Two defensive ice thorns were cut off, Zuo Sheng was shaken away, and his body-protecting magic Qi shattered.

"How can he be so strong?"

Zuo Sheng was terrified and displayed his escape Dao art.

"Whoosh!"

Li Youyi's brow flashed, and his mental power attack turned into a spider web, covering him layer by layer.

Zuo Sheng's most powerful skill was his escape Dao art; even if he encountered experts on the "Jiazi Book," he would have a chance to escape.

But being wrapped in mental power, his art was severely restricted, and even his consciousness and reaction became rigid, and he was soon caught up by Li Youyi.

Zuo Sheng controlled the ice thorns, while fleeing and retreating, while resisting the battle sword swung by Li Youyi: "Qi Xiao and Tuoba Butuo are both in the hands of the Fourth Divine Son, Li Youyi, do not be presumptuous."

Hearing this, Li Youyi's eyes became colder. He dared not use the six-zhang-high battle intent, but the sword moves in his hand became faster and faster, forcing Zuo Sheng into dangerous situations.

"This is the General Altar of the Divine Sect, do not be arrogant! If you dare to kill me, the Southern Venerable will not be able to protect you, and the Kuerong Hall will tear you into pieces and throw you into the field to raise rice."

Zuo Sheng's space for movement became smaller and smaller, and the more he fought, the less confident he became, feeling that his hundred years of cultivation were like a joke, forced into a state of having no power to fight back by a junior who had only practiced for two years.

"Whoosh!"

"Crack!"

Li Youyi cut off all the ice thorns released by Zuo Sheng, his figure was unpredictable, and he slashed a sword on his shoulder.

Zuo Sheng stimulated the second-grade hundred-character artifact battle suit on his body to resist, dissolving most of the power, and his body was thrown away, falling more than ten zhang away, rolling on the ground.

Li Youyi did not give Zuo Sheng a chance to stand up again, and stepped down with the jade tripod light and shadow.

The earth sank, and a two-zhang-sized pit appeared.

The cultivation of the second level of the Dao Seed Realm could not withstand it either, the bones in his body exploded, he was seriously injured on the spot, vomited blood, and could no longer crawl up.

"Li You... yi... yi, you cannot kill me... I know who is behind Zuoqiu Qingying... she wants to kill you... the one who wants to deal with you in the Zuoqiu Gate is a more powerful figure..."

Zuo Sheng, who was getting older and more afraid of death, was no exception, lying at the bottom of the pit and begging for mercy.

Li Youyi rushed into the pit, took off Zuo Sheng's second-grade hundred-character artifact battle suit, and took away his boundary bag.

He had a sense of proportion; how could he kill Zuo Sheng?

A living Zuo Sheng was the most useful.

He was currently quite short of money, and with money, the Dao Seed Realm was just around the corner.

Besides Zuo Sheng waiting outside the Nanqing Palace, Yang Yun, who had no home to return to, was also squatting nearby.

Yang Yun couldn't escape, was caught, "If I can't get the money back, my sister won't want me as a younger brother! I can't even return to the Goddess Mansion now, wandering outside like a lonely ghost."

Li Youyi was confused by his counter-offensive move, moved to the side, and dared not accept his great gift: "Get up, don't shout nonsense."

"Brother-in-law, I was wrong, I must have been wrong before, for the sake of us being a family, give me a way to live!" Yang Yun was tearful, kneeling and crawling over.

Li Youyi changed direction again to avoid him, and noticed that many figures appeared in the distance, all core disciples and true disciples of the Twin Rice Sect.

"Get up first, I happen to have something here that needs you to help me handle. If you succeed, I will find a way for your sister."

Yang Yun raised his head, revealing joy: "That one hundred thousand fountain coins?"

"If you are willing to kneel, then continue to kneel."

Li Youyi squatted down, touched Zuo Sheng's left leg, and exerted force with both hands.

"Bang!"

Zuo Sheng screamed, and his left leg bone broke.

Yang Yun was attacked by familiar memories, stood up like lightning, and stood straight: "Brother-in-law, whatever you have to do, just order it."

Li Youyi said: "Go to the Fourth Divine Son for me, and tell him that Zuo Sheng is in my hands, and he should bring fifty thousand fountain coins to redeem the person. This price is very fair. As a Divine Son, if he can bear to watch his followers live in pain, ignoring them, I am afraid that no one will follow him in the future."

"What I just said, not a single word can be missing, tell him exactly as it is."

Yang Yun was not stupid and knew what the consequences would be if he got involved in this matter.

Li Youyi was not only using him, but also wanted to involve his sister.

"Bang!"

Zuo Sheng's right leg was also broken.

Yang Yun was crying without tears, regretting it so much that his intestines turned green, and while shaking, he said: "Brother-in-law, what kind of way to live is this, this is forcing me to a dead end."

Li Youyi broke Zuo Sheng's hands as well, breaking all four limbs so he wouldn't escape; this was the most barbaric and safest way.

He stood up, walked over, and patted Yang Yun on the shoulder: "Just passing a message, don't think too deeply. I am now also a member of the Divine Sect, a disciple of the Southern Venerable."

"Ah?"

Yang Yun was stunned, his scalp tingling.

"Let's go!"

Yao Qingxuan had no patience left and went to the Spirit Valley Hall first.

Li Youyi threw Zuo Sheng into the Nanqing Palace, ordered the six Phoenix-winged Moth Emperors to guard him, walked out again, and passed by Yang Yun: "Are you stupid? You doing things for me means I won't kill you. One hundred thousand fountain coins to buy a life, what's so expensive about that?"

Yang Yun was frightened and knelt on the ground.

Only then did he remember that he had once almost taken Li Youyi's life.

"Brother-in-law, don't worry, this matter is on me!"

Yang Yun crawled away, and the first thing he did was not to go to the Fourth Divine Son's mansion, but to rush back to Yang Qingxi's Goddess Mansion to bring back the explosive news that Li Youyi had apprenticed to the Southern Venerable.

Li Youyi knew very well that he could not be led by the nose by Wang Shu and could not go to his home field to save people; that was too passive.

Therefore, this card of Zuo Sheng had to exert its maximum value.

Previously deliberately breaking Zuo Sheng's four limbs was also done for those disciples of the Twin Rice Sect to see, in order to force Wang Shu to take the initiative.

He was a Divine Son, representing the face of the Twin Rice Sect, and having enjoyed the glory, he was also set up.

Yao Qingxuan said: "You are a newcomer, even if you apprentice to me, don't do too much, everything must be within the rules. Once you provoke the public anger of the younger generation, I will not be easy to protect you. Cultivating the Golden Rice is what you should do."

"They used a puppet straw man to assassinate first, and Zuo Sheng was bold enough to hide outside the Nanqing Palace, monitoring your mansion, Senior, with evil intentions. Can this be tolerated? I dealt with him, it is reasonable and fair." Li Youyi said.

Yao Qingxuan said: "Wang Shu has reached the third level of the Dao Seed Realm for three years, and he is very close to the fourth level, condensing the Dao Lotus. You are not his opponent!"

Li Youyi asked: "Actually, I have always had a doubt in my heart. Wang Shu, he is not a pure immortal body, why can he become a Divine Son?"

Yao Qingxuan said: "The All-Silver Pure Immortal Body is the standard for geniuses at the inheritor level in the Five Seas Realm, but when it reaches the Dao Seed Realm, it may not keep up."

"Martial practitioners who lag behind in the Five Seas Realm still have a chance to catch up when they reach the Dao Seed Realm. It's just that the difficulty is very great, requiring great effort, great opportunity, or great understanding."

"Cultivation is like sailing against the current; every realm must be fought for, and in every realm, there is a possibility of someone catching up."

Li Youyi said: "Which kind does Wang Shu belong to?"

Yao Qingxuan said: "He has extremely strong understanding, especially in the practice of Dao arts. He has only broken through to the Dao Seed Realm for three years, and he has successfully practiced the first level of the major art 'Golden Armor Mountain-Moving Art', with golden armor protecting his body, gaining extraordinary giant power, and just relying on physical strength, he is comparable to inheritors of the same realm, and thus he became a Divine Son in one fell swoop."

"If he can practice the second level of the 'Golden Armor Mountain-Moving Art', he can instantly use this art to cast a Dao Lotus and reach the fourth level of the Dao Seed Realm."

"Before this, no young genius below the fourth level of the Dao Seed Realm in the Divine Sect, even an inheritor, could practice major arts."

"Major arts are infinitely miraculous and cannot be piled up by time; they are attack methods practiced by giants of the Longevity Realm."

It's the end of the month, asking for monthly tickets...
