Longzang

Chapter 118 Asking for help
Wei Yuan walked around and sealed the consciousness of his eldest brother, junior brother, Jade-Faced Immortal Sword, and third junior sister. Then he said to Yun Feifei, "Lock these people up first, and then you come and tell me about the earth vein layout of your Lan Shen Palace."

Yun Feifei nodded.

Wei Yuan glared at her and said, "You'd better keep your tricks to yourself in front of me! Let me tell you straight, I've already got what the palace wants, so you're just a burden now. Whether I take you back or not depends on my mood, understand?"

Yun Feifei lowered her head, nodded twice, and said, "Don't worry, Senior Brother, I will be very, very good, just as good as Sister Wan'er. You can do whatever you want with me, I just hope you can be a little more gentle with me."

Wei Yuan's face darkened, and he said, "Since you're so obedient, then you can guard the front line when the Wuyu Clan comes. If you don't die, I'll pity you."

Yun Feifei's expression changed slightly. In the past, this tactic had always been effective. Even if someone appeared respectable, as long as those round, snow-white thighs were exposed, no man could resist having impure thoughts. What was wrong with this guy surnamed Wei? Did he cultivate some kind of inhuman technique?

Wei Yuan had no idea what she was thinking. He said, "Take a look around first and see what else you can use and where you can build defenses. Also, it would be best to see where the Wuyu Clan will attack from. Come find me after you've done all that!"

At this moment, Yun Feifei also sensed the changes in the surrounding world and was surprised, saying, "You even brought the boundary stone with you?"

Wei Yuan naturally wouldn't tell her that an ancient boundary stone had already been activated beneath the main hall, so the Wuyu Clan would definitely mobilize all its forces this time, and nearby troops would be transferred over. The Taichu Palace reinforcements wouldn't arrive so quickly, and the Xu family couldn't be relied upon at all. This battle would be extremely dangerous.

If Wei Yuan told her the truth, he estimated that Yun Feifei would secretly run away.

After Yun Feifei left, Xu Wan'er took charge of guarding the prisoners. Wei Yuan found a room that was still barely standing, went in, closed the door, and then took out the jade pendant bestowed by the Immortal Lord.

Wei Yuan took a deep breath to calm his wildly beating heart. As the saying goes, a wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall. Under normal circumstances, Wei Yuan would have run away long ago, but now that Qingming has recognized him and taken root, he can no longer move.

The vast land has resonated with Qingming and merged into one. Forcibly pulling Qingming out would be tantamount to damaging one's own foundation, something Wei Yuan would never do. He would rather fight to the death.

Having read so many stories, Wei Yuan understood Yun Feifei's little schemes. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't have minded taking advantage of such a small gain. But right now, Wei Yuan had no such thoughts.
Wei Yuan's impassioned and rousing speech in front of the guards and Yun Feifei was all to appease them. Now that Yun Feifei is gone, Wei Yuan immediately needs to get down to business: call for help!
Wei Yuan first wrote down Qingming's information and current location, the collusion between the Xu family and the Wuyu clan, and the imminent arrival of the Wuyu clan's army in the jade pendant. This was the common part of the information. Then, Wei Yuan added a paragraph after the common part and sent it to different people.

The letter to the Immortal Lord reads: "Qingming has suddenly recognized its master, and the die is cast. Please make the final decision, Immortal Lord."

Zhang Sheng's message was: Master, save me!
The message to Fen Hai was: "Grandmaster, save me!"
The message to True Lord Xuan Yue was: Ancestor, save me!
The message to Ji Liuli was: Senior Sister, there's a big battle going on!
The message given to Xiaoyu was: "Wu Daoji has forged several more immortal swords. Would you dare to come and take a look?"
The message to Cui Yu was: Come and fight! Bring plenty of men!
To Baoyun: A month has passed since we parted, and I have missed you dearly. This journey westward was fraught with peril; I was repeatedly in dire straits, but fortunately escaped unscathed. However, another great battle lies ahead, and I truly do not know if I will be able to survive. If my luck is not good, I fear I will be unable to repay the immortal silver I owe you; only in the next life can I repay you.

In the blink of an eye, letters were written. Wei Yuan crushed the jade pendant, and a beam of clear light shot straight into the azure sky, disappearing in an instant. These messages would be transmitted all the way back to the Taichu Palace and then delivered to the appropriate people.

Thinking about what he had written, Wei Yuan's old face couldn't help but feel a little hot. But his life was more important, so he let the shame go.

Moreover, Wei Yuan was self-aware enough to know that this territory was definitely not something he could defend alone. Besides, there were plenty of people in the Azure Palace who hadn't yet expanded their territory, and since they were idle anyway, they might as well come to the Western Regions to gain some merit. These guys weren't good at making money, but they were ruthless at spending it; even if they saved for another fifty years, they might not be able to afford an ordinary boundary stone. Azure Stone, after all, was a celestial object, an ancient boundary stone; even if the Azure and Water Moon Palaces sold everything they owned, they couldn't afford it. Using Azure Stone to expand territory—since the time of True Monarch Xuan Yue, the two palaces, being so poor, probably hadn't fought such an extravagant war.

The distress signal was sent, and Yun Feifei had already returned from inspecting the sect's old territory. She had lived in the Lan Shen Sect for many years and was extremely familiar with it, so she flew around and saw everything in a flash. Moreover, she knew the matter was urgent, so she acted quickly. In order to save time, half of her skirt was torn, and she was missing one shoe, revealing a snow-white little paw.

She stood in front of Wei Yuan, panting heavily, and said, "There is another secret vault that has not been discovered by our opponents, but it is of low grade and contains only materials."

Wei Yuan was overjoyed: "Let's go take a look."

Yun Feifei nodded, her delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly. She took a step with her bare foot, then withdrew it.

Wei Yuan glanced at the snow-white paw and asked, "Shall we fly over there?"

This answer completely surprised Yun Feifei, who couldn't help but roll her eyes inwardly. In the past, if she had only shown a small portion of her long, shapely, snow-white legs, which of those young talents wouldn't have been mesmerized?
Back then, the junior brother was arrogant and haughty. During a private martial arts sparring match, he was kicked and stomped on by her bare, soft little feet. After that, he became devoted to her and spent his days vying for her affections with the senior brother. He even put aside his original undercover mission and ended up getting nothing in the end.

But what's wrong with this guy? I've tried everything, but he's still unmoved. Are all the people from the Primordial Palace missing something?

Yun Feifei gritted her teeth inwardly: "Are you trying to force me to unleash my ultimate move? We'll see in the secret vault later!"

Just as the two were about to set off, Xu Wan'er rushed over and said, "Those people have all been dealt with, but where is Brother Wenwu?"

Wei Yuan then remembered that there was such a person. He had seen him huddled in a corner while exploring the main hall, and Wei Yuan had sealed his mouth with his Dao power to prevent him from talking. Then Xu Guanwen attacked, and Wei Yuan fought Xu Guanwen and the mountain of flesh from the Witch Clan, ultimately causing the main hall to collapse. With Xu Wenwu's skills, there was absolutely no way he could have escaped the main hall; even a wisp of wind from the shattered Dharma Form could have blown his flesh and blood away, leaving him only bones.

Wei Yuan felt a surge of regret, knowing that he had no chance of survival.

Although that guy was talkative, unreliable, lecherous, and unrestrained, he had, after all, followed Wei Yuan all the way here. Wei Yuan had an instinctive care for those around him, especially the weak, like a mother hen looking after her chicks. Now that Xu Wenwu had died because of his momentary negligence, he couldn't help but feel a lot of guilt.

"He's in the main hall. Let's go find his body first." Wei Yuan immediately turned around, and Yun Feifei and Xu Wan'er quickly followed.

Standing on the ruins of the main hall, Wei Yuan amplified his divine sense with the power of Qingming and scanned the ruins. He discovered that Xu Wenwu was still alive. At this moment, he was in the underground stone chamber, holding Qingming and trembling like a leaf, constantly praying to the gods and Buddhas, reciting seventeen or eighteen titles in one breath, none of which Wei Yuan recognized.
