destiny eternal calamity

After returning to her room, Shang Xueyan dispelled the Myriad Transformations Formless Technique, her expression shifting unpredictably.

She also realized that Li Wei had just been testing her.

The other party's vital energy seemed inexhaustible, which was really strange. Given her previous attitude, we should at least get to the bottom of it.

But she didn't realize it at the time and inadvertently revealed her worries.

It can only be said that concern leads to confusion.

You brat, your senior sister is on your side, so you'd better use your brain with your senior sister!

It seems this icy persona is wearing off. What should I do...?

The next morning, Li Wei went to his post at the East City Military Command, but did not see Zhao Yuqing.

I asked Liu, the clerk, and learned that Zhao Yuqing had gone out of the city to handle a case yesterday.

It's still a case related to Li Wei—several newsstands at Wenhai Pavilion have been vandalized.

Li Wei wasn't surprised; the "Da Li Weekly" had offended quite a few people, so it was normal for it to be targeted and sabotaged.

But why is Zhao Yuqing getting involved in this? Isn't she supposed to be fighting demons and upholding justice?

Since this matter is related to the Da Li Weekly, he certainly can't ignore it.

After finding out that the newsstand Zhao Yuqing was investigating was located within Nanyang Prefecture, Li Wei immediately left the city and flew there with Xiao Shuying.

Since he told Long Bilin yesterday that he had broken through to the Divine Realm, Long Bilin no longer restricts him from going out.

After all, apart from not being able to fly, his combat power is no weaker than that of an ordinary Dharma Aspect, and his physical strength is even more exaggerated.

The Changsheng Sect's major stronghold on the outskirts of the capital was recently wiped out. No matter how stubborn they are, they wouldn't send a bunch of experts to roam around here again in such a short time.

With Xiao Shuying by his side, Li Wei is currently quite safe.

When the two arrived near Nanyang Prefecture, Xiao Shuying landed and they walked into the city together.

Of course, Xiao Shuying was using stealth mode, since this place wasn't like the capital city, where there were formations under the city walls that could detect cultivators.

This city of Nanyang is more prosperous than some other prefecture cities.

The streets were crowded and noisy with vendors and pedestrians.

After thinking for a moment, Li Wei went directly to the government office in Nanyang Prefecture and paid his respects using his identity as a patrol officer from the capital's military command.

It's roughly the same scenario as a police chief in Beijing going to a local police station for a cup of tea.

The government office certainly wouldn't neglect him and sent a clerk to receive him.

"I wonder if a Commander Zhao has ever come to visit you? We're investigating the same case. She's my superior; she came over yesterday."

"Yes, our Nanyang Prefecture has arranged for Lady Zhao to stay at the Guangyuan Inn. Brother Li can go there to find her."

Upon receiving the news, Li Wei immediately bid farewell and headed to Guangyuan Inn.

As I walked along the street, the crowds gradually thinned out.

But a few peddlers and passersby always followed him.

Li Wei had a feeling of being spied on. He knew that these people had come with ill intentions, but he remained calm and walked towards a less crowded area.

Finally, at the dead end, Li Wei stopped and turned to look at the group of people who had followed him.

Without a word, the men drew swords from the goods they were carrying and charged at Li Wei.

Xiao Shuying suddenly appeared, falling from the sky, and a huge black Dharma image also slammed towards the group.

However, it was lifted up by a blue Dharma image.

Another figure, also hidden, appeared and charged towards Xiao Shuying.

Li Wei looked at the group of people rushing towards him and thought that Yao Yue should be watching him right now.

The main reason he dares to go out and have fun is that.

Having already tested Yue's attitude last night, Li Wei was certain that she would protect him.

However, these enemies in front of her don't need her to save them yet.

Li Wei drew the Dragon-Slaying Sword, imbuing it with the power of "Returning to Nothingness" and the primordial energy.

His physical strength already exceeded five million jin. Without the support of true qi, this sword, which could barely be considered a divine weapon, probably wouldn't have been able to withstand his full power.

In his mind's eye, the leading Divine Treasure cultivator had at least five flaws.

These flaws didn't actually exist originally, but they appeared once Li Wei's strength and the intensity of his true energy were taken into account.

After all, no matter how exquisite the moves are, they can't withstand brute force.

Li Wei slashed out with his sword, and the opponent's sword shattered instantly.

In the battles between cultivators at the Divine Treasury Realm, just like in Body Tempering and Meridian Opening, it's all about strength. The difference is that the strength of cultivators at this realm has become so great that it has completely transcended the realm of "human".

A surge of violent true energy propelled the shattered sword directly at the opponent, piercing through their skin and flesh like fragments of a grenade.

Amidst screams of agony, Li Wei showed no mercy, unleashing his "Free and Unfettered Sword Technique" with sword light raining down, carrying the Vajra True Qi derived from his Primordial True Qi, piercing the enemy's body dozens or even hundreds of times in an instant.

In just one exchange, Li Wei turned a cultivator from the Divine Treasury into a sieve.

Immediately, the several Spirit Bridge cultivators behind them stopped rushing forward.

Wasn't the opponent supposed to be at the Spirit Bridge Realm? How come he defeated the Divine Treasury Realm so easily?

They were assassins, not fools. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, they planned to run away, but Li Wei would not let them go.

With his exceptional talent, Li Wei effortlessly caught up with the assassins using his third-tier "Eight Steps of Gazing at the Sunset".

The first few were all killed with a single stab.

Even when the person furthest away was almost out of sight, Li Wei still managed to shoot him down with his "Flying Sword Technique".

The Dharma Aspect cultivator above was still exchanging blows with Xiao Shuying when he suddenly discovered that all his underlings were dead.

He was no match for Xiao Shuying; he just wanted to stall her while his men killed Li Wei.

Unexpectedly, even the cultivators of the Divine Treasury could not defeat Li Wei, who was not yet twenty years old.

He had already estimated Li Wei to be strong enough. Ling Qiao, who was not even twenty years old, was already incredibly powerful. Who would have thought that Li Wei was actually a Divine Treasure cultivator?

Lost in thought, he was struck by Xiao Shuying's sword energy, which broke through his protective aura, leaving a huge wound on his chest.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the Dharma Aspect cultivator used some kind of escape technique, turning into a wisp of green smoke and disappearing into the air.

Xiao Shuying, fearing a diversionary tactic, didn't pursue him but landed directly beside Li Wei.

"The opponent is using the martial arts techniques of the Sun family of Jiangzhou..." Xiao Shuying said.

"It's Sun Yi. These assassins are from Shadow Killers."

Li Wei sheathed the Dragon-Slaying Sword and examined the corpses.

Surprisingly, a fifth-tier internal cultivation technique with Vajra attribute was found on that cultivator at the Divine Treasure Realm.

Besides that, there were only some silver notes and low-level cultivation techniques.

It only amounted to 15,000 taels in total.

Whether it was the members of the Longevity Cult last time or the Shadow Assassins this time, they were all pitifully poor.

Normally, a Qi Sea martial artist would be worth more than this.

It can only be said that these people live a life of constant danger, living for the moment and not keeping much money on them.

After all, you can't take it with you when you die.

"Since it's Sun Yi, I now know why Zhao Yuqing came here."

The body found in the suburbs of Dongcheng last time had wounds from the Sun family's bone-cutting technique.

It must be that Zhao Yuqing found the same wounds on the body of the victim who was attacked at the newsstand.

Li Wei squinted as he analyzed.

At the same time, questions arose in his mind.

This is undoubtedly a trap set against Li Wei.

But how did Sun Yi know about the Changsheng Sect incident?

Isn't it Prince Jin who's connected to the Longevity Cult?

Could the Shadow Assassins organization be the work of the Prince of Jin?

As for Sun Yi's misjudgment of his combat strength, that's not surprising.

During the last annihilation of the Longevity Sect's stronghold, only Shang Xueyan witnessed him killing a cultivator from the Divine Treasury.

His only publicly known achievement was killing Zheng Yi, a martial artist who had fallen into demonic possession.
