Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 454 Young Heroes 5
Compared to Luexi, Yuhan's petty schemes seem rather laughable.

After verifying the information from all sides, Wei Xi felt that he had figured out the cause and effect of the destruction of the Eastern Yi demon leader—the various methods of plundering streams and siltation were used to their advantage, and the evil demon surnamed Yu failed to steal a chicken.

While the drought continues in Aba Aba, Luexi has already employed a three-pronged approach of raiding, imprisoning, and controlling the area. Internally, he maintains the illusion that the Eastern Yi demon leader is still alive, while externally, he leverages the resources of the Nanjiang River to complete the final link in his plan.

Luexi's actions were not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather a long-standing rebellious act. First, he found Qi Yuanzhong to trap the Dongyi demon leader, and then, under the guise of the Green Moon Tide, he went to Nanjiang to demand the person's return. It is likely that he coveted the Changsheng Wood's ability related to memories and wanted to forcibly obtain the name of this Dongyi figure.
Unexpectedly, taking Pingjiang to heal his wounds angered Zuo Fei, so he simply went with the flow, manipulating the Dongyi demon leader to intimidate the demons with ulterior motives, while trying to use smelting to trace out the names.

Wei Xi was fully aware of the silt-covering drought's subtle actions, and even went so far as to open the door to them. Unfortunately, Zuo Fei's efforts were in vain; he ultimately failed to win the last gamble.

As for letting her, this imposter "Lord Bai," in, one reason was to test whether she had the ability to influence memories, and the other was to get the words "Yu" and "Xian" out of Zuo Fei's mouth.

While strategic planning is admirable, adaptability is equally valuable.

Having figured it out, Wei Xi couldn't help but feel respect for Lue Xi, secretly thinking that this demon was quite a character.

Unfortunately, Luexi miscalculated Wei Xi. She was not the "Lord Bai" from Nanjiang at all! She was quite cunning, having let Zuo Fei escape and even managed to find the volcano where the Eastern Yi demon leader was imprisoned.

The Green Moon Tide is no secret—at least Wei Xi believes that natural disasters or man-made calamities are merely methods to force the workings of heaven and earth to manifest. In the Eastern Yi, the Green Moon urges on countless tides; in the Southern River, it might just be the blazing sun burning countless trees.

In such a short time, the Eastern Yi Demon Chieftain was already covered in wounds—most of which it brought upon itself; Wei Xi was more focused on the quality of the damage.

This time, the Eastern Yi demon leader was truly stung. He disregarded the consequences and attacked Qi Yuanzhong like a madman, leaving not a single piece of his body intact.

Wei Xi coldly stared at the other party, holding the red thread as he retreated step by step.

Now, Wei Xi just wants to watch these monsters bring about their own destruction.

Wei Xi has never been a dreamer since she was a child. Judging from her experience of interacting with demon beasts, humans and demon beasts are completely incomparable.

In the world of cultivation, Wei Xi had never seen anyone capable of overturning rivers and seas. A demonic beast? She glanced at the scales, a plan forming in her mind.

The Eastern Yi demon leader was destroyed in internal strife, and other demons probably followed the same path.

Of course, Wei Xi, who had just taken a sip of the meat soup, did not think that the human race was despicable and shameless. He hadn't seen other races taking advantage of the situation; being able to take advantage of this situation was a skill in itself.

"Zuo Fei." Wei Xi felt a slight disappointment that she herself did not realize. "As expected, there is no such thing as a young hero."

Immediately, a sense of relief arose – at least it proved that the old blind man's singing was inaccurate, and Zuo Fei was not the one who ended the Eastern Yi Demon Chief.

He was still just an ordinary little cultivator, watching his two friends avoid being deceived and grow into old women in the Qingcheng Sect.

Wei Xi's cold, hard lips relaxed slightly. He looked around and decided to run away.

The Eastern Barbarian Demon Chief is mad and insane. Wei Xi has searched his furnace, but finding no useful information, there's no need to linger.

"Forget about Luexi and Zuofei. Those people are all dead. Preserving our own lives is the most important thing!"

Wei Xi made a plan: she intended to retreat to the passage where she was hiding in the tail. The place looked familiar, perhaps it was a passage that had survived for a thousand years. She should be able to keep her life safe inside.

Wei Xi took one last look at the sky, closed his eyes, and the remaining tears of blood slid down his cheeks.

"If Heaven won't grant it, I'll take it myself!" The Eastern Barbarian demon leader, provoked, revealed his true form, only to be forced back into human form by Qi Yuanzhong. Severely injured, he began to ramble incoherently, "I don't accept it! I don't accept it!"

Without even glancing at the loser from a thousand years ago, Wei Xi turned and tried to crawl back into the furnace, but failed.

Looking at the shimmering water ripples on the hatch, Wei Xi broke out in a cold sweat. Without even thinking, Wei Xi knew this was Lue Xi's warning.

"It knows someone has been here, so why doesn't it?"

With Wei Xi's mind, a single detail was enough for her to overturn all her guesses, and in just a few breaths, she deduced several possibilities.

Regardless of the possibility, the escape route cannot be used.

Wei Xi even suspected that Wei Lu was not as easily fooled as it appeared, and that it might be the one who tipped off Lue Xi.

Furthermore, the water ripples on the trapdoor are not an array, nor are they a temporary magic array; they are primitive yet perfectly natural.

Wei Xi's abilities are not yet sufficient to deal with this thing.

Besides, the fish gut mirror I'm currently carrying inside my clothes is burning hot.

The situation has changed; Qin Feng and Lian Gouhan are in trouble.

With her fingernails digging into her palm, Wei Xi's eyes hardened.

The Eastern Yi demon leader was still cursing heaven and earth, and Qi Yuanzhong was dutifully restraining it, but even so, most of its true form was revealed.

Wei Xi had never seen such an ugly monster. It was like a deformed toad, with blood and rotten flesh mixed together. Several threads of heaven and earth clung to its body, and even more red threads were vying to pierce into the flesh of the Eastern Yi demon head.

If Heaven won't grant it to me, I'll take it myself.

The burning sensation in his chest sustained Wei Xi's steps as he walked toward the rack, his mind still pondering why all these celestial and terrestrial forces were attacking the Eastern Barbarian Demon Leader.

“Liexi has made its move,” Wei Xi said, her steps faltering. The struggle between the heavens and earth and the swirling yin and yang energies was intensifying, and she was the innocent bystander caught in the crossfire. “It wants to wipe them all out in one fell swoop.”

Luexi doesn't need to find the person who infiltrated, because they'll all die.

Unbeknownst to him, Wei Xi had been cornered.

At this moment, Wei Xi felt a sharp pain in her hand. Looking down, she saw that it was the thin, weak warp and weft that she had used as a torture device. A layer of skin had been scraped off her right palm by it.

"sky"

Wei Xi's gaze fell on the Eastern Yi demon chieftain, and a bold idea took hold of her mind.

The fish intestinal endoscope was getting hotter and hotter, as if an invisible hand was pulling Wei Xi toward the heavens and earth, and that thin red line was left behind.

Wei Xi's left hand climbed up the thicker red thread, and both coldness and heat rushed into his body at the same time, along with fragments of memories.

The memory of a demonic beast, combing through streams in the cold north, its pale blue blood flowing into the stream as it died, like a winding tributary, until heavy snow covered its stiff corpse.

The intense resentment and anger caused Wei Xi to lose his composure briefly. After regaining his senses, he climbed up another meridian and slowly ascended, one after another.

Tears and pus from the South River, the Western Regions, lakes, and seas—that's how the Eastern Barbarian Demon Chief controls the world's water systems: killing, stripping, and acquiring them.

Wei Xi felt waves of nausea, but his movements were slow yet resolute.
