Chapter 1276: Chapter 1270: I Am Not Familiar With You
In the cloudy sky within Jade Mist Valley.
Li Wei and the others stepped into Jade Mist Valley.
The Fox Saint and Immortal Linghu stood before them.
In all directions were the disciples of Jade Mist Valley. These disciples had formed array formations, clearly having prepared in advance.
At this moment, Li Yaotie, the Martial Emperor, Huan Gui, and Sword Venerable Drizzle stood on one side. As expected, they entrusted their backs to each other.
The four furrowed their brows tightly.
The Martial Emperor wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Even though he was already at the Body Integration realm and had experienced countless dangers and great battles in the past, being trapped by densely packed grand arrays still made his heart pound uncontrollably.
The array formations formed by the disciples of Jade Mist Valley were actually formidable enough to cause him harm.
“Daoist Friend, are you not afraid?”
The Martial Emperor nudged Sword Venerable Drizzle’s elbow.
Li Yaotie was incredibly thick-nerved, and Huan Gui was naturally fearless.
He could understand why those two weren’t terrified in the slightest, but now even Sword Venerable Drizzle, a newcomer, was acting remarkably calm.
Sword Venerable Drizzle frowned. “With the sword in my hand, my life is also in my hand.”
“What if your sword isn’t sharp enough?”
“Then it is simply my fate.”
“…”
The Martial Emperor felt his horizons broaden. “You shouldn’t cultivate the sword; you should cultivate Buddhism!”
Sword Venerable Drizzle pondered this for a moment. “My sins aren’t that grave.”
The Martial Emperor was left speechless.
Nearby, Zhangsun Feng looked around in all directions before her gaze finally landed on the back of the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor.
With the grand array of Jade Mist Valley activating, she had originally thought the Li Clan had a premeditated plan, never expecting they had fallen into a trap within a trap.
However, having been outmaneuvered by a single move, it was ultimately not the time to assign blame.
From beside her came Xuanyuan Liqun’s deep voice.
“If Daoist Friend and I have the chance to escape, would you be willing to test if you can break your Dao of Severed Emotions on me?”
“Is Daoist Friend incapable of grasping the situation?” No matter how gentle Zhangsun Feng’s temperament was, surrounded by enemies on all sides, she couldn’t help but furrow her brows.
“Naturally, I can grasp it.”
Xuanyuan Liqun took a deep breath. Ahead, the Fox Saint was at the Dao-Integration realm, and Immortal Linghu, though at the Dao-Comprehending realm, was a Half-Immortal.
Just the two of them alone could fight all their current Body Integration experts in a great battle, not to mention these damned array formations in all directions!
How could four Dao-Glimpsing experts be a match for the opponent’s two formidable Body Integration experts?
He glanced at the girl with twin tails. He liked women, but he didn’t like little bean sprouts, especially a little bean sprout radiating a Buddhist aura.
The Li Clan’s Dao Domain Bodhisattva was only at the Half-Step Body Integration realm.
The two Body Integration experts tethered to her chains—one controlled by Buddhist Dharma and demonic arts, while the other was a living corpse—could only reluctantly be counted as equivalent to one Dao-Comprehending expert in terms of utility.
Instead, his hope lay with the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor.
This entity was profoundly mysterious, whether to the major factions of the Imperial Dynasty or to them.
The ones ruling the Southern Frontier were the Li Clan, but everyone knew the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor was the true master of the Southern Frontier and Azure Cloud Prefecture.
He couldn’t help but transmit his voice: “Does Daoist Friend still have a method? If not, would you allow me to go beg the opponent for mercy? I can let go of my pride.”
“Roar!”
The massive iron-eating beast roared at the array formations in all directions. How could it not hear the voice transmission of its Xuanyuan Clan descendant?
Its bared fangs and grimacing appearance showed it was not only furious but also felt it was a complete disgrace to all beasts, making Xuanyuan Liqun shrink his neck in embarrassment.
Xuanyuan Liqun said weakly, “Old Bear, losing face is better than losing our lives.”
“Roar!” The iron-eating beast brandished its claws, its round eyes glaring furiously at the surrounding strong enemies.
Its voice was full of magnetic resonance. “If we survive this tribulation, I will absolutely never fight an enemy alongside you again!”
……
Stepping upon the Yin-Yang Fish diagram and surrounded by array formations, the Spiritual power of the Jade Mist Valley disciples was channeled into the grand array.
Even Body Integration realm cultivators felt a suffocating sensation, as if submerged in a sea of fire.
In the distance from this blessed Grotto-Heaven of Jade Mist Valley, fluctuations of Spiritual power could be felt; clearly, the resounding echoes of Tianming and Tianqi battling far away.
Sensing Immortal Linghu’s Dao rhythm, Li Wei noticed a reddish hue emanating from him.
This aura was far too familiar; Zhiheng possessed the exact same aura. Fused seamlessly with an immortal artifact, he was a Half-Immortal.
However, the aura radiating from Immortal Linghu was far less imposing than the majesty of Zhiheng’s Heavenly Dao Divine Heart.
Li Wei’s attention was more focused on the Fox Saint.
He knew quite a lot about the Fox Saint.
Back when Xu Cuihua cultivated by his side, Li Wei had also loitered around the Fox Saint.
The Fox Saint was a Body Integration expert of the Demon Race, having lived through vastly more years than anyone in the Human Race.
During the battle against the Qiu Clan in the Northern Frontier—a clan that cultivated ice methods yet struggled to find the Dao path of ice and snow—it was no wonder they couldn’t find the path.
The Dao of Ice and Snow lay precisely with this old fox.
Reconnecting after so many years, Li Wei understood clearly that this figure… was absolutely not inferior to Uncle Rain.
“You underestimated human nature; you should have known this all along.”
The Fox Saint sighed softly.
“Linghu Tiangong dislikes our Peerless Hall, but he is a part of Jade Mist Valley, a part of the Linghu family.
He would not betray Jade Mist Valley or his surname. He merely sought a sliver of survival within a desperate situation.”
“And this is that sliver of survival.”
The Fox Saint pointed at the array formations.
“From the very beginning, we knew that by staying in Jade Mist Valley, we would face a reckoning from the entire Southern Frontier.
This is a crisis, yet Immortal Linghu was still willing to face it because, for us, it is an opportunity.”
“You rejected Min Tiange’s Dao Seed, meaning the Southern Frontier’s resistance was destined to become a certainty.
This is an obstacle, but an obstacle that can be resolved. Now that you have fallen into Jade Mist Valley’s trap, the Southern Frontier is left leaderless.”
Li Wei frowned deeply.
Even after joining the Peerless Hall and consuming the Dao Seed, the Fox Saint still maintained his kind and benevolent appearance.
To this day, the family had not uncovered the true reason why the Fox Saint joined the Peerless Hall.
Right now, compared to the crisis surrounding them, Li Wei cared more about this former friend of the family.
The Fox Saint seemed to completely disregard the current peril.
“Daoist Mosquito is just outside the array. Do you have nothing to say to him?”
The Fox Saint frowned.
Li Wei continued, “There is also Cuihua. Back then, you had Daoist Mosquito take her away from Azure Cloud Prefecture.
The Fox Tribe was struggling and desperately needed an inheritance. Cuihua came from our village, leaving her home to seek knowledge.
Later, the Fox Tribe of the Northern Frontier gradually became her second home. You were her Master, an elder she deeply respected.”
“And now… you stand against us.”
Hearing this, the Fox Saint’s expression remained utterly unchanged, his voice low. “I am not familiar with you either.”
“Hahaha!” Immortal Linghu laughed loudly.
“Daoist Friend, you fell for the trap! To think the three prefectures actually had so many mighty figures, yet sadly, they are all useless trash. Now, you suddenly know how to appeal to sentiment? How laughable!”
The people of the three prefectures of Azure Cloud frowned.
Li Wei ignored Immortal Linghu entirely.
Staring fixedly at the Fox Saint, he said faintly,
“Not very familiar? Hearing you say that puts my mind at ease. Also, the demons of your Northern Frontier Fox Tribe have arrived in Azure Cloud Prefecture and are living quite well.
Cuihua possesses a demon physique, and with my Li Clan’s immense power and influence, we can definitely help her break through her bloodline limits.”
“The demons of the Ephemeral Grotto-Heaven are thriving. Daoist Mosquito has broken through to the Void Refinement realm, and the Demon Race is growing stronger.
You passed your Dao to Cuihua, and Cuihua left it in the Ephemeral Grotto-Heaven. Time will pass your Dao down, and I firmly believe that a new little fox will eventually emerge from the Grotto-Heaven to inherit your legacy.”
Hearing this, a trace of gratitude flashed through the Fox Saint’s eyes. He nodded slightly and spoke no more.
Immortal Linghu’s laughter, however, grew even more unbridled.
“Daoist Friend is actually helping the Fox Saint arrange his posthumous affairs! How laughable, hahaha!”
This laughter then twisted into a ferocious, chilling sneer. “Did you really think that having fallen into this situation, you still had a way out? No, you do! Swallow the Dao Seed!”
With his cold shout, winds and clouds surged violently throughout Jade Mist Valley.
The disciples’ array formations brimmed with abundant Spiritual power, flashing with a blinding light that seemed capable of drowning out everything.
Before Immortal Linghu’s eyes, one Dao Seed after another materialized.
“Min Tiange told me that you rejected his Dao Seed. This time, he wants every single one of you to swallow the Dao Seed, walk beneath the Blood Moon, and kneel before him!!!”
“This is your final way out. The Dao Seed and becoming an immortal are your ultimate destinies!”
A trace of profound disgust flashed across Li Wei’s face.
He then looked back at his clansmen and numerous companions. They were much more normal; someone was even fucking whispering.
He slightly raised an eyebrow. “Do you dare to fight?”
“…”
The group fell into a momentary silence. Such a desperate situation was no longer just their own; if they died, the entire Southern Frontier would face nothing but absolute despair.
Zhangsun Feng furrowed her brows.
“Daoist Friend led us into this predicament. Once we get out of here, we will settle the score with you—or perhaps we will settle it in the Underworld.”
“I have no choice. Fairy Feng perfectly suits my tastes, and Fairy Huan Gui is not bad either.”
Xuanyuan Liqun threw his hands up in a shrug, then glanced at Li Kuanghua.
“I suppose I can reluctantly try to carve out a path of survival with you.”
“I don’t know him,” the iron-eating beast roared furiously.
Huan Gui took a deep breath, gritting her teeth angrily. “Your old Li family has never done a single good deed!”
The two long strips of cloth from her revealing white robes swayed in the wind. Huan Gui’s cold, elegant face twisted into a ferocious scowl, and she spat viciously on the ground.
Splitting into eight bodies, her death qi surged to the heavens!
Sword Venerable Drizzle, holding his sword as a light drizzle drifted through Jade Mist Valley, smiled faintly at Li Wei.
“Yuanshang still has to provide for my retirement!”
The Martial Emperor exhaled a loud breath, and numerous martial Dao phantoms materialized all around him.
Flames ignited on Li Yaotie’s body. His dark, fluid muscle lines gleamed with a metallic luster.
Swinging his massive hammer with one hand and rubbing his bald head with the other, his entire body was engulfed in fire.
“Clatter, clank!”
The Heaven-Imprisoning Lock rattled. With her other hand forming a Buddhist mudra, Li Kuanghua split the Buddha-Demon Disk in two.
The Buddha-Demon Dao Domain Bodhisattva, with three heads and six arms, was surprisingly holding six Dharma Treasures, letting out a sinister, chilling “Jie jie jie” laugh.
As the chain slowly loosened, the blue veins on the Zhao Clan Old Ancestor’s walking-corpse body bulged, and crimson drool continuously dripped from his gaping maw.
“Amitabha.”
Nun Dairou broke free from the chain. The Bodhisattva of Rebirth radiated brilliant light, her body resembling white jade as Buddhist fire and runes floated into the air.
“Boom!”
Li Wei instantly vanished from the spot. Space and time rules activated simultaneously.
The blue long spear in his hand—once used by Uncle Rain, now possessed by the spear spirit of the North Star Spirit-Breaking Spear—emitted a sliver of silver luster as he thrust straight toward Immortal Linghu.
His left hand was already extended, the Yin-Yang Fish diagram rotating madly as various rules erupted instantaneously.
The ‘Mirror’ technique activated instantly, completely enclosing him and the two Body Integration experts.
Time rules: A Single Thought!
Tai Chi: All-Encompassing!
Under the astonished and grave gazes of Immortal Linghu and the Fox Saint, the Yin-Yang rapidly detonated, and the brilliance of the Dao method gradually engulfed the three of them.
Amidst the light overflowing with rules, Li Wei turned his head and smiled faintly at his Daoist friends.
“Everyone in the world has an ending, and we will have ours too, but it will absolutely not be today.”
“So, what are you waiting for?”
“Boom!”
As the Li Clan Old Ancestor’s words fell, the Dao method completely engulfed him.
The expressions of the crowd turned ice-cold, and they charged furiously toward the surging, majestic Dao method!
