The Primordial Law

Chapter 182: Sui Zong’s Dilemma
Li Weiyi sat between two Nine Springs Pure Immortals of the Five Seas Realm who were cultivating the Seventh Sea. It was as if he was standing at the confluence of two turbulent rivers, bearing the strong winds and waves coming from both directions, and he felt a precarious feeling.

Especially Yang Qingxi on the right.

Although her fighting ideas were not revealed, Li Weiyi was close enough to hear clearly the sound of the rushing river lingering in his ears.

How can this be a gurgling stream?
It's simply like a river passing through the sky, and the fighting methods and ideas must be of a different kind.

Anyone who can compete for the second place in Lizhou must be a very important person.

At the same time, Li Weiyi clearly saw wisps of magical energy emanating from Yang Qingxi's snow-like fingers, climbing up his arms, shoulders, waist, abdomen, legs... His control over the magical energy was superb.

It can be imagined that as long as she moved her mind, these magical energies would instantly shrink and turn into deadly chains that would strangle Li Weiyi.

Zuo Qiuting, who was sitting on the left, gently patted the back of Li Weiyi's hand, easily crushing all the magic energy released by Yang Qingxi, and said with a smile: "Miss Yang should go to the seventh floor pavilion instead of sitting here, sharing a table with a bunch of small people like us. Could it be that... you don't dare to go to the seventh floor pavilion?"

Yang Qingxi let out a light exclamation, knowing that she had met an expert of at least the same level, so she put away her thoughts on fighting, and stared straight at Zuo Qiuting with her deep eyes, trying to discern what she looked like under the disguise.

Li Weiyi pondered over Zuoqiu Ting's words and asked, "This is strange! Miss Yang must have been invited by Longmen and is a distinguished guest. Why would she not dare to go to the seventh floor pavilion?"

Zuo Qiuting said with a smile: "Brother, you haven't figured it out yet? Miss Yang is sitting on the side of the court like us? Her current situation is quite difficult. She doesn't dare to choose either side, nor does she dare to offend anyone. Therefore, she can only sit on the fourth floor to avoid the limelight, and dare not go up at all."

In addition to Sheng Qingyan, Yang Qingxi was accompanied by Yang Yue and Yang Zhiyong, two young masters who were extremely famous in Lizhou. Both of them had unfathomable cultivation and ranked second and third in Sui Sect.

The three of them had already taken their seats opposite, staring at Zuo Qiuting with eager eyes.

This just goes to show that Zuoqiu Ting was not shooting at random, but his words were like a spear that hit them right where they were.

"Then you have to tell me in detail. I have been practicing in seclusion recently."

Li Weiyi didn't quite understand the current situation and was curious as to how the once powerful Sui Zong and Yang Qingxi could end up in such an embarrassing situation where they had to hide from the limelight?
Zuo Qiuting said, "Cangli has set his sights on Miss Yang! If she doesn't choose either side, do you think she can walk out of Qiuzhou City alive? And sometimes it is not up to her to choose or not, and how to choose. It is decided by the top leaders of Suizong. But the top leaders of Suizong are also facing the same dilemma as her. If they make a mistake when the situation is unclear, they will be doomed."

Li Weiyi looked at Yang Qingxi, who was wearing a male outfit and still full of charm, and asked, "Why didn't Miss Yang refute it?"

Yang Qingxi's expression changed from fierce to calm. "In this chaotic world, all parties are competing against each other. The number of people who can play chess can be counted on ten fingers. If you can't play chess, you can only make choices. And no matter what you choose, there is no chance of winning. Li Weiyi, do you think that if the Jiuli tribe chooses Zuoqiumenting, they will definitely win? Once you make the wrong choice, there will be no recovery."

Li Weiyi was just about to ask why Suizong still had the opportunity to choose the court.

Zuoqiu Baiyuan came over and took a look at the four people from the Sui clan who appeared out of nowhere. He didn't take them too seriously. His eyes fell on Li Weiyi and Zuoqiu Ting, and he said in a gentle tone: "The que room is ready. It is the best location, the Zhengnan que where you can watch the soldiers and ancestor Ze. Everyone, follow me and move there!"

Zuoqiu Baiyuan at this moment is completely different from the arrogant and indifferent person before.

No longer will we see the demeanor of the direct descendants of millions of families.

Seeing that no one responded, Li Weiyi had no choice but to get up first and leave his seat, saying with a smile, "Then let's move over there. Brother Bai Yuan, thank you for your trouble and lead the way for us."

Zuoqiu Baiyuan said quickly: "Don't bother, Brother Li is the real person who never reveals his true identity."

Qi Wangshu and Qian Yanzhen could see the clues. They knew that the "second girl" beside Li Weiyi was of extraordinary origin, and Zuoqiu Baiyuan was probably just following orders.

Who is the person who can challenge Yang Qingxi?
Qi Wangshu thought of a person who liked to disguise himself and could make Zuoqiu Baiyuan kneel down with just one sentence, but he rejected it immediately. How could that person appear here and be the sister of a martial artist in the fourth realm of the Five Seas Realm?
Li Weiyi looked at Yang Qingxi who was still sitting on the chair: "Miss Yang, do you want to join us?"

"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."

Yang Qingxi suddenly stood up, with a warm smile on his face, and walked over gracefully. The two of them seemed like close friends.

Li Weiyi's expression froze and he regretted asking this question.

"Dong dong!"

There was a sound of chaotic footsteps coming from the stairs.

Among the martial arts masters who came up the stairs, a little fat man jumped out and shouted, "Brother Weiyi, I have been looking for you for a few days. Where have you been hiding? Didn't we agree to capture Yang Qingxi together? Why is there no follow-up..."

Shi Shishi's voice suddenly stopped, as if he had seen a ghost. He stared at Yang Qingxi who walked out from behind Li Weiyi, completely dumbfounded, and scratched his head uncontrollably.

Everyone in the Sui clan had cold eyes. Even the air was cold.

Yang Qingxi lowered her eyes and thought deeply, her heart full of doubts. She just felt it was unbelievable that two mortals who were at a lower level than her dared to be so bold.

After a brief silence, Li Weiyi tried his best to remain calm: "We will share the table with Miss Yang. How about the Ten-Food Dharma King?"

Shi Shishi was completely confused about the situation. He took three cautious steps back and secretly transmitted his message with his magical energy: "Brother Weiyi, if you have been captured and restrained by her, just blink your eyes. Don't trick me. I can still get help."

Li Weiyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "If you are afraid, don't follow me."

The fourth-floor pavilion is located in the south.

There was enough space in the palace to accommodate ten tables, but only one was placed near the window, and all the delicacies and fine wines were prepared. A eunuch from the fourth realm of the Five Seas was waiting there like an old servant.

There were four maids wearing talisman robes.

After Li Weiyi, Zuoqiu Ting, Qi Wangshu, Zuoqiu Baiyuan, Qian Yanzhen, and the four people of Sui Zong were all seated, Shi Shishi slipped in and sat between Qian Yanzhen and Sheng Qingyan.

Li Weiyi laughed and said, "How dare you come in again?"

Shi Shishi was already picking up some food with his chopsticks: "I suddenly figured it out! Even if Miss Yang has the Seven Seas Realm, the Ten Absolute Swordsmanship, and the Long River Mind, she would not dare to kill anyone today. Being a bad guest is equivalent to slapping the court in the face. We can't beat her, and she can't beat Ge Xiantong."

Yang Qingxi narrowed his eyes and the coldness in his body dissipated.

Li Weiyi slightly turned sideways, looked at her, and asked with a smile: "I was just curious, why didn't Miss Yang sit at the Dragon Gate?"

Shi Shishi answered while eating: "Two reasons! First, the people of Sui Sect actually mixed with the ember spirits and monsters in the Far West Ashes Region, which made the exiled dragon immortal quite dissatisfied. The Eastern Territory Dragon Gate and the Far West Ashes Region have always been at odds, and the conflict has lasted for thousands of years."

Sheng Qingyan said coldly: "He is the inheritor of Longmen. He first cooperated with the Far West Ashes Region. We were forced to hunt down Jiang Ning. Is it any good for our Sui Sect to offend the court?"

Shi Shishi glanced at her and found that she was not a pure immortal body. He immediately lost interest and continued, "Second, Yao Qian, the leader of the Sui clan, went to pay a visit to the second palace master of Lingxiao Palace not long ago."

"It is said that Yao Qian has long been in the Second Palace Master's sight, but he has never dared to choose a side. Going to pay a visit to the Second Palace Master at this moment is undoubtedly a signal that Emperor Suizong is leaning towards the imperial court."

"Miss Yang is in an awkward situation! Previously, some of the young martial artists of the Sui Sect led by her participated in the operation to hunt down the Luantai Angel Jiang Ning."

"Now that the high-ranking officials of the Sui Dynasty have sided with the imperial court, she has become a subordinate of Jiang Ning. How could she not be purged?"

Yang Qingxi did not participate in the operation to hunt down Jiang Ning, but as Shi Shishi said, with the younger generation of martial artists from the Sui Sect involved, she would have no chance of getting away with it.

Zuo Qiuting said, "As expected of a Dharma King, you have such insight at such a young age, but you didn't tell the whole story. The biggest problem of the Sui clan is that they lack strength, but their people are greedy, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant."

"Initially, the Sui Sect was in the position of a great leader, and wanted to unite with the Sanchen Palace, Tianyi Sect, and Guanhai Pavilion to form a coalition of four major sects to destroy the Jiuli tribe and seize the entire Lizhou."

"Fearing that they were not strong enough, Sui Zong secretly contacted Longmen and the Earth Wolf King Army, who were in urgent need of resources and food."

"Unfortunately, we miscalculated everywhere. First, Guanshan forced its way into the game, and then Tianya Ridge wanted to have a piece of the pie. Both were beyond the reach of Suizong. After we took action, we were surprised to find that our younger brother Guanhai Pavilion had already been controlled by the Jiuli tribe, and then the Earth Wolf King Army turned against us."

"Here comes the more interesting part. The Sanchen Palace, which has always closely followed the footsteps of the Sui Zong, actually has the support of Night City and the Far West Ashes Region behind it, but they are completely unaware of it."

"Sui Zong suddenly fell into an awkward situation. He thought he was the leader, but found that he could not beat anyone. He thought he was the manipulator, but found that he was just a pawn of the Far West Ashes, and an unimportant pawn purely for use."

"Because, in terms of strength, the Sui clan cannot compare to Guanshan. In terms of the trustworthiness of the Far West Ashes, the Sui clan cannot compare to Yecheng and Sanchen Palace."

"If the Sui clan continues to be coerced like this, the end will be destruction. If they surrender to the imperial court now, they will have a chance of survival. But the imperial court is about to be defeated. Is there really a chance of survival if they surrender now?"

Yang Qingxi felt ashamed as if he was stripped naked and put on the table and laughed at. The sharpness in his eyes almost materialized.

She controlled her emotions and looked at Zuo Qiuting: "The situation is so unpredictable. We are just juniors and have no right to choose a camp. We can only do our best in our own positions. At least, we did not choose the Far West Ashes, which means that I stand on the side of humans. We are fundamentally different from those barbarians who only care about immediate interests and have no long-term vision. Ending the war and restoring peace to the world is not a noble ideal."

"Tell Jiang Ning about your ideal and see if she believes it. If she does, she will naturally give you a way out." Zuo Qiuting said.
