Chapter 310

Qiongji Daozi stood straight on the back of the golden eagle, his green clothes like clouds, gentle and heroic, his eyes sweeping across. All three hundred patrol guards retracted their magic power, jumped off their mounts, and knelt on one knee.

"Greetings, Head Seat Senior Brother!"

Yizhouxue, Sikong Jingyuan, and Sikong Yanlun hurriedly bowed and saluted.

The Divine Son Head Seat is not only a Divine Son but also the First of the Divine Sect, the leader of the young generation of disciples; his power and prestige are so great that most Elders have to bow and obey his orders.

Qiongji Daozi sighed: "One of you represents the patrol guards of the Heavenly Principle Hall, responsible for order and rules, patrolling for spies and traitors. The other represents the Kurong Hall, the enforcers of the Divine Sect. What kind of big deal is it that you have started fighting each other?"

Yizhouxue, Sikong Jingyuan, and Sikong Yanlun all knew that Qiongji Daozi was the second disciple of the Linggu Hall Master and had an extraordinary relationship with the Southern Venerable, so they all thought he had come to protect Li Youyi, and all three felt uneasy and dared not speak.

Qiongji Daozi looked at the bloody ground, his gaze falling on Wang Shu’s corpse: "Although this Head Seat takes the Southern Venerable as a role model and very much appreciates her talent and temperament, I will never engage in favoritism. Wrong is wrong! If you break the rules, everyone must pay the price."

"Law does not go beyond human feelings, and reason does not go beyond the human heart. You each have your own words, but both have reasons; so should the person be handed over to the patrol guards or the Kurong Hall?"

"Why don't we do it this way!"

"Yizhouxue, your Junior Brother was killed by someone; it is only natural for you as a Senior Brother to avenge him. Sikong Jingyuan, Sikong Yanlun, Yang Qingxi will be handed over to you; you must investigate this matter to the end."

Yizhouxue, Sikong Jingyuan, and Sikong Yanlun were all stunned, and then felt great joy in their hearts.

They secretly sighed, worthy of being the Divine Son Head Seat, his methods brilliant, resolving the dispute with ease. And both sides gained something, with both face and substance taken care of.

"Head Seat Senior Brother is wise!"

The three shouted in unison.

Li Youyi looked at the Divine Son Head Seat, who had promised Yao Qingxuan to help take care of him, with an expression of disbelief.

When Yao Qingxuan left, she even told Li Youyi to go to him if he encountered danger he couldn't solve.

Li Youyi had never thought of asking Qiongji Daozi for help, but he never expected that this person would actually kick him while he was down, wanting to put him to death.

Why?

Where exactly did he offend him?

Qiongji Daozi noticed Li Youyi’s gaze and looked at him, a power of will surging in his eyes: "Li Youyi, do you know your crime?"

His power of will was too strong, far more terrifying than Yizhouxue’s Dao Heart External Manifestation, striking directly at Li Youyi’s spirit and soul.

If it were an ordinary Dao Seed realm Wu Xiu, they would be directly suppressed into kneeling.

Li Youyi only had the cultivation of the Five-Sea realm and had not yet cultivated a soul. One must reach the Dao Seed realm, build a soul bridge, integrate part of the soul into the Dao Seed, and complete the Dao planting to slowly nourish and strengthen the soul.

"Whoosh—"

In the spiritual realm, three mental power stars operated rapidly, releasing layers of spiritual light shields, blocking the power of will in Qiongji Daozi’s eyes.

Li Youyi struggled to support himself, his eyes always sharp and bright, not explaining, because explanation had no meaning. He said: "Three days ago, I just became the Great Disciple of the Southern Venerable. Three days later, the Great Disciple is dead; can the Southern Venerable afford to lose this face? Yizhouxue, do you dare to kill me? If the Southern Venerable wants to kill you, will your Master protect you? You are just the next Wang Shu!"

Yizhouxue held his spear, his fighting spirit and killing intent condensing on his body, but he felt a chill in his heart from Li Youyi’s words.

He was somewhat hesitant.

"Could it be that I am also a pawn of the Master?" he thought to himself.

Sikong Jingyuan giggled: "Yizhouxue, you are afraid of the Southern Venerable, but we brothers are not. If you break the rules and make a mistake, it is a death penalty; if there is no law that treats everyone equally, how can the Divine Sect rule the world in the future?"

With parents who were the two Hall Masters of the Kurong Hall, Sikong Jingyuan and Sikong Yanlun had far more courage than Yizhouxue.

"You don't think that the only backer I have is the Master herself, do you?"

Li Youyi took out the green jade array talisman given by An Xianjing and held it between two fingers: "I can control the array of the entire Southern Clear Palace because of this array talisman bestowed by the Hall Master. You don't even think about why an existence like the Hall Master values me so much? If you act rashly without figuring out the reason, are you really not afraid of death?"

The green jade array talisman was worthless in private; no one would fear Li Youyi because of it, they would only kill him to silence him.

But in full view of everyone, it was like a decree from the Hall Master.

Elder Xu exclaimed: "No wonder you could cultivate the first level of the Six-Like Burning Karma Talisman to completion; it must have been the Hall Master who taught you long ago."

Qiongji Daozi was an expert and saw that the green jade array talisman was indeed the Master’s object, immediately falling into deep thought.

Sikong Jingyuan and Sikong Yanlun also calmed down a lot; they had just returned from the Realm of the Dead and did not know Li Youyi’s background.

They could ignore the Southern Venerable’s disciple. But they had to be cautious about someone who could be personally bestowed an array talisman by the Linggu Hall Master.

In other words, Li Youyi’s qualification to enter and exit the Southern Clear Palace freely was the Hall Master’s intention.

Was the Southern Venerable taking Li Youyi as a disciple also the Hall Master’s intention?

Most importantly, in this situation, even if they snatched all the treasures, they would have to obediently return them to the Hall Master in the future; they couldn't keep them at all.

Seeing that he had intimidated everyone, Li Youyi whispered to Yang Qingxi: "Go!"

As long as they returned to the Southern Clear Palace, they could rely on the array to resist them.

If that didn't work, they could enter the array area where the Golden Rice was located.

The three of them retreated while staying on guard, walking among the patrol guards, incredibly nervous. If the enemy took a desperate risk and attacked regardless of the consequences, they would have no place to be buried.

Chu Tianshu stood outside the gate of the Heavenly Principle Hall, pondering in his heart.

Li Youyi’s previous shouting made him very passive at this moment. Logically speaking, as a Master, avenging a disciple, no one could criticize anything.

But as a Master, why didn't he step in to save him?

He was not afraid of criticism; he was afraid of An Xianjing seizing this handle.

Now Chu Tianshu could only continue to pretend to be searching for Tang Wanzhou, not in the mortal world, and unaware of the situation.

"What a cunning junior, it seems he cannot be left alive. If he is allowed to grow, wouldn't Yao Qingxuan be like a tiger with wings?"

Chu Tianshu’s will crossed dozens of miles and transmitted to Yizhouxue: "The law does not punish the masses; let the patrol guards step in to suppress them. After killing them, Sikong Jingyuan and Sikong Yanlun will definitely take the opportunity to get a share of the spoils; as long as these two are dragged into the water, the water will be muddy!"

Yizhouxue understood his Master’s intention, so his lips moved, blending his voice into strands of magic power, transmitting it to the three hundred patrol guards.

Li Youyi and the three had not yet walked out of the battle array of the three hundred patrol guards; capturing Yizhouxue’s transmission with his mental power, his heart sank, and he shouted: "Run!"

"Boom!"

Li Youyi’s mental power turned into a vast spiritual light shockwave, knocking the dozen or so patrol guards in front into the air.

They had to escape the battle array at the fastest speed.

In front, ten spears stabbed out in unison, forming a small array, twisting the power of the ten patrol guards into one, turning into a huge war god phantom that punched toward Li Youyi.

The smallest battle array of the patrol guards was a ten-person array.

There were also twenty-person arrays, thirty-person arrays, hundred-person arrays...

The more people, the stronger the array power.

Li Youyi naturally didn't fear a mere ten-person array, using his mental power light whip to blast the war god phantom apart.

He dared not linger in battle.

He unleashed the Yellow Dragon Ascending to Heaven, broke away from the array area of the three hundred patrol guards, and appeared a few zhang above the edge of the array area.

A hundred-person array was successfully formed, a hundred-zhang-diameter array disk rotating above their heads. From the center of the array, a large seal of the seventh-grade Hundred-Character Artifact level flew out, its power fully displayed.

"Rumble!"

The large seal landed and smashed a giant pit into the ground.

The soil around the giant pit showed signs of melting, and the vegetation within tens of zhang turned to flying ash.

Li Youyi unleashed his movement technique to dodge a step ahead, but was shaken away by the impact of the large seal, rolling a few times on the ground, and continued to flee toward the Southern Clear Palace.

As long as Yizhouxue didn't have the guts to join the pursuit, these patrol guards had limited speed and few experts, so he was confident he could escape back to the Southern Clear Palace.

"Rumble!"

A large number of patrol guards rode their departed spirit soul beasts, like a tide, chasing Li Youyi.

Qiongji Daozi stood on the back of the Two-Headed Golden-Winged Eagle, remaining silent after Li Youyi took out the green jade array talisman. He knew that he had miscalculated today, and if he interfered again, he wouldn't be able to handle it in front of his Master.

Then he fell into reflection, why did he make such a mistake?

Tianxin Temple is the number one great Daoist temple in Fuzhou, with prosperous incense and many disciples.

It was the third month of spring, branches hanging with emerald green, birds singing pleasantly.

Yao Qingxuan wore a veil, a red mole on her brow, sitting on a meditation cushion, both dignified and sacred, mysterious and beautiful, quietly listening to the information about Lingji Mountain reported by the people she left at the General Altar.

Every quarter of an hour, new information was transmitted to the ground.

"The people of the Yang family didn't show up?" she asked softly.

The old man kneeling outside the door shook his head: "No."

"They are still able to keep their composure! Then don't worry about the Yang family; anyway, they weren't included in the calculations."

Yao Qingxuan was certain that Li Youyi would definitely go to the Fourth Divine Son’s Mansion to save people, and she also knew that Qiongji Daozi had a jealous personality; the more she cared about Li Youyi and praised him, the less Qiongji Daozi would protect him.

So she deliberately left the General Altar, letting the situation develop in the direction she had deduced.

Li Youyi’s identity was special, and he had too many treasures on him, with many covetous people within the Divine Sect.

Some people wanted him dead.

Some people wanted the strange insects and the Ghost Flag.

If they didn't take this opportunity to solve these problems in advance, Li Youyi would sooner or later die in obscurity.

To solve this problem, Hall Master An had to step in.

What exceeded her expectations was that Li Youyi actually took action just three days later and killed Wang Zhi and Wang Shu. This strength was much stronger than she had estimated, and the commotion was much bigger.

What she didn't expect even more was that Qiongji Daozi didn't step in to help, but actually wanted to take the opportunity to put Li Youyi to death.

If he could have carried it through to the end and insisted on an upright attitude, Yao Qingxuan could have looked up to him.

But after Li Youyi took out the green jade array talisman, this Divine Son Head Seat actually retreated!

Yao Qingxuan said: "Li Youyi is too bold, daring to kill even a Divine Son; he must be made to suffer a little. Tell Shanze, as long as there is no threat to his life, there is no need to step in to save him. Also, send a message about what happened at the General Altar to Hall Master An!"

Sikong Jingyuan and Sikong Yanlun followed behind the patrol guards, watching Li Youyi and the three getting closer and closer to the Southern Clear Palace.

Sikong Yanlun was very unwilling: "We have already offended them to death today; if we just let them go, the other party will definitely retaliate in the future."

Sikong Jingyuan was much calmer: "Even Yizhouxue doesn't dare to act rashly, and the Divine Son Head Seat is also silent, which shows that the green jade array talisman in Li Youyi’s hand is real. Just now we were only acting in our capacity as Kurong Hall Wu Xiu, handling official business, which doesn't count as offending them to death. If we had attacked, there would truly be no room for maneuver."

Sikong Yanlun said: "What a pity, what a good opportunity."

"Attacking openly is not a good opportunity," Sikong Jingyuan said.

Sikong Yanlun said: "What do you mean?"

"They cannot stay at the General Altar to cultivate forever; they will definitely go out to execute missions. Attacking in secret can avoid a lot of trouble."

Sikong Jingyuan said again: "First investigate, investigate who exactly this Li Youyi is, what his relationship with Hall Master An is, and why he can control so many treasures?"

Charging and killing all the way, leaving a ground full of patrol guard corpses, Li Youyi, Yang Qingxi, and Yang Qingchan rushed into the array light veil of the Southern Clear Palace.

Li Youyi panted like an ox, covered in blood, the Blood Handprint Magic Armor’s scriptures scattered, the blood mist exhausted, and several blood holes pierced into his body by spears.

But he didn't lie down to rest; instead, he mobilized his mental power, urging the Southern Clear Palace’s great array with all his might.

At this moment, Li Youyi could finally laugh out loud: "Yizhouxue, you were bluffed by me! In this world, the most taboo thing is to do things halfway and then be hesitant. Not only did you fail to achieve your goal, but you also created enemies for yourself."

He also sent these words to that Divine Son Head Seat.
