*********************************
The figure that suddenly burst forward emitted a golden Buddha light from its skin, shattering Li Weiyi's Dao Heart Manifestation and striking him in the back with a palm strike.
Though appearing tall and stout, its speed was astonishing. Its Spiritual Qi, both in purity and density, far surpassed Li Weiyi's, marking it as a top-tier expert who had cultivated a Dao Fruit.
"Forward!"
Li Weiyi pressed his finger against his forehead.
His body blazed with Bright light, teleporting him twenty yards away and narrowly dodging the palm strike.
With a thunderous boom, the palm strike shattered the air, flattening a row of graves ahead.
Li Weiyi flashed away, quickly putting distance between himself and the figure. He landed on a tombstone and observed the newcomer.
It was a Pure Immortal Physique Martial-Mystic Cultivator clad in a purple kasaya, standing nearly eight feet tall.
A string of Golden Bone Buddhist beads hung around its neck, its head round and plump, and its belly as large as a water jar.
Having missed its strike, the Buddha cultivator wore a look of surprise. It peered at Li Weiyi, who had retreated dozens of yards away.
"You were the one who committed the heinous slaughter in Nanhua Market last night, weren't you?"
"I only killed those who deserved to die," Li Weiyi replied.
The large-bellied Buddha cultivator said, "To kill a disciple of Coffin Mountain is a capital offense. Not even the Buddha himself would forgive such a transgression."
Li Weiyi recognized the figure's extraordinary aura. It couldn't possibly be from the Inferior Root Dao Seed Realm.
Yet every perfection One with a Pure Immortal Physique possessed a formidable reputation.
Li Weiyi asked, "Which of the Three Great Zen Masters of Coffin Mountain are you?"
"Great Zen Master Xin Ku - that's this Buddha!"
Great Zen Master Xin Ku took a step forward, leaving a giant footprint that spanned dozens of meters.
He formed the Demon Subduing Seal with his hands and unleashed a golden handprint Dao Technique several meters in size.
Before the handprint Dao Technique could fully descend, the ground beneath Li Weiyi had already caved in.
"Fight!"
A Golden Crow Flame Armor materialized around Li Weiyi, radiating a bright, dazzling light.
His body glowed like the sun.
He circulated Spiritual Qi within his body and reinforced it with Psychic Power from without.
The combined force of Spiritual Qi and Psychic Power propelled his arm like a whip, unleashing a Heaven-Turning Palm Seal.
"Boom!"
Ripples of Spirit Light and Spiritual Qi spread out from beneath Li Weiyi's feet, flattening the earth and preventing him from sinking into the ground.
Great Zen Master Xin Ku, having exhausted his palm force, immediately pulled back, soaring backward dozens of meters. He examined his hand with surprise.
"How peculiar, boy. Are you a Psychic Master or a Martial-Mystic Cultivator?"
Li Weiyi summoned the Myriad Manifestations Staff-Spear, standing tall with eyes as cold as frost.
"You killed these innocent people, didn't you? What wrong had they done? As a Seventh Heaven expert in the Dao Seed Realm, why did you torment them? Come after me instead. I'm the one who killed the Heretical Sect members."
The Three Great Zen Masters of Coffin Mountain represented the three most talented individuals in the Dao Seed Realm, who were being cultivated with special care.
The Great Zen Master Xin Ku before Li Weiyi was a disciple of Xu Fodu.
Like his master, he had a taste for human flesh and was notorious throughout the Southern Territory, his crimes too numerous to count.
His name alone, once it appeared in a city, would trigger immediate panic.
Li Weiyi, engulfed in flames, charged forward.
He channeled his Psychic Power into his spear, slashing down with a Bright arc of light.
"So fast!"
Great Zen Master Xin Ku raised his Golden Bell, activating a defensive Dao Technique.
The Golden Bell stood three stories tall, its surface shimmering with Scripture. Each rotation unleashed a powerful wave of golden Qi.
"Boom!"
Li Weiyi's spear struck the Golden Bell, the impact echoing like thunder.
A blinding beam of light erupted from the spear's tip, sending Great Zen Master Xin Ku reeling backward ten yards.
He quickly examined his body, relieved to find his purple robe had blocked the beam.
"Who are you? At your age, to possess such power, you should have already shaken the world."
Great Zen Master Xin Ku, no longer daring to underestimate his opponent, removed the prayer beads from his neck and began spinning them around his wrist.
As he channeled his Psychic Power into the Buddhist Beads, a fierce storm erupted, sweeping across the ground and even lifting some tombstones into the air.
Li Weiyi's killing intent was palpable. He didn't bother to exchange words with his opponent and charged forward with his spear.
"Boom! Boom!"
The Dao Heart Manifestation and Psychic Field of the two clashed repeatedly.
Under the spear's amplification, the scorching heat of the Golden Crow Flame burned Great Zen Master Xin Ku's skin, and his purple kasaya offered little protection.
As the battle progressed, Great Zen Master Xin Ku grew increasingly alarmed. He sensed his opponent's effortless control while he himself was nearing his limit.
Just as he considered retreating, Li Weiyi unleashed the Fusang Divine Tree's radiant shadow.
With a sweep of his spear, the tree's branches pierced through Great Zen Master Xin Ku's Protective Spiritual Qi and Scripture.
The spear's tip descended from his left shoulder, slicing downward.
"Pfft!"
Great Zen Master Xin Ku vomited blood and was sent flying, a horrifyingly long gash torn across his chest.
The flames entered his body, causing excruciating pain.
Li Weiyi gave him no respite, simultaneously channeling Psychic Power and Spiritual Qi to unleash the Ember Annihilation Finger Technique.
This fierce and domineering finger force, comparable in power to an Imperial Technique, spanned over a dozen yards to strike Great Zen Master Xin Ku.
The Great Zen Master activated his Buddhist beads, summoning dozens of Buddha statues to defend against the attack.
"Bang!"
All the Buddha statues shattered, and Li Weiyi was flung outward, his body slamming into the earth.
When he saw Li Weiyi unleash the Fusang Divine Tree's light and shadow, Great Zen Master Xin Ku felt a familiar sensation, a memory stirring in his mind, as if he had heard of it before.
When the Ember Annihilation Finger Technique was unleashed, the truth dawned on him.
"So it's you! How could you have become so strong? You betrayed the Divine Sect..."
Seeing Li Weiyi charging at him like a malevolent deity, Great Zen Master Xin Ku's heart froze.
He dared not confront him any longer and immediately activated his Earth Evasion Technique, plunging headfirst into the soil.
He knew nothing of what had happened in Lingxiao City, having made no effort to inquire about Li Weiyi's whereabouts.
Thus, he was utterly shocked to discover that the Fourth Divine Son now possessed the power to defeat him.
How old was this young man?
Hadn't he struggled even to defeat Wang Shu?
Li Weiyi locked onto him with his Psychic Power, realizing that Great Zen Master Xin Ku's Dao Technique mastery was astonishing.
In an instant, the Zen Master appeared several miles away.
Li Weiyi pursued him across the surface, finally diving into the earth after catching up.
Great Zen Master Xin Ku fled along the surface of a Blood River deep underground.
Hearing a thunderous roar behind him, he glanced back, his soul nearly shattered.
Li Weiyi, completely enveloped in the Golden Crow Flame, appeared in the depths of the earth, walking on water with incredible speed.
"Fu Prefecture is crawling with Divine Sect experts. Chasing me like this is just exposing your tracks and position. Do you really think you're invincible?" Great Zen Master Xin Ku fled with all his might, but the distance between them continued to shrink.
"Whoosh!"
Li Weiyi unleashed a finger force from afar.
"Boom!"
Great Zen Master Xin Ku narrowly dodged the attack.
The stone wall of the Underground River nearby was blasted into a deep crater, the rock showing signs of melting.
At that moment, Xin Ku was filled with regret.
If he had known this would happen, he never would have let his anger get the better of him and killed that man in a fit of rage.
"Whoosh!"
Another finger force came flying.
This time, Great Zen Master Xin Ku couldn't dodge. His purple cassock exploded, and the sound of bones breaking echoed from his back.
With great reluctance, he pulled out a handful of talismans from his chest and scattered them behind him.
Then, he spat out a pearl from his mouth and pressed it against the bleeding wound on his chest.
The pearl seemed alive, greedily absorbing his blood.
Great Zen Master Xin Ku let out a miserable wail, his body trembling violently.
In moments, the pearl had absorbed at least a third of his blood, causing his body to shrink noticeably.
Then, he transformed into a streak of blood-red light and shot away at an astonishing speed.
Li Weiyi burst out of the swirling Talisman Light, releasing his Psychic Power to scan the area.
Even ten miles away, he couldn't find Great Zen Master Xin Ku.
He sighed inwardly, "For a man like that to have survived until now, his escape methods must be extraordinary."
"If his disciple is this cruel and ruthless, how monstrous must his Master be?"
Li Weiyi's expression changed as he sensed a dangerous force rapidly approaching.
He immediately retracted his Psychic Field, concealed his Qi, and swiftly fled the area.
This was the drawback of releasing a Psychic Field and Dao Heart Manifestation.
While searching for others, you also exposed your own position.
Even Transcendents couldn't casually release their perception over vast distances.
After pursuing Great Zen Master Xin Ku for over a hundred miles and then spending half a day in stealthy flight, Li Weiyi found himself completely disoriented by afternoon.
Alone on a ten-foot-wide muddy road, he decided to head to a nearby town to inquire about the events of the past few days and decide his next course of action.
Having witnessed the tragedy of the previous night, Li Weiyi deeply understood the cost of leaving a task unfinished.
It would have been better if he hadn't saved them in the first place.
That way, they wouldn't have harbored hope, dreamed of the future, or endured the second wave of despair and suffering.
Wasn't the Lingxiao City's affair just half finished and then abandoned?
As evening approached, the sky blazed with crimson clouds.
"Hiss!"
A horse-drawn carriage slowly descended the winding, muddy road from a distant hill, leaving deep ruts in its wake.
Li Weiyi stepped aside to let it pass.
To his surprise, the carriage stopped.
A familiar, melodious voice called from within: "Get in!"
Li Weiyi's dull eyes instantly lit up.
He saw that the driver was a Dead Spirit, clad in gray robes and wearing a straw hat, radiating no life force.
He quickly climbed onto the carriage and found Li Ling inside, his face etched with disbelief. "How did you find me?"
Li Ling was no longer the little girl he remembered.
Now nearly nineteen, she had grown taller, her chest had filled out, and she had blossomed into a woman of great elegance and poise.
Using the Zen Hai Guanwu's voice, she chuckled, "You forgot that we can sense each other's location within a certain distance."
Li Weiyi replied, "But I didn't sense you."
"You were too preoccupied with your own thoughts to even consider looking for me," Zen Hai Guanwu said.
Li Weiyi said, "I was just about to look for you, and also for the three Masters, to discuss something..."
Zen Hai Guanwu gently raised her arm, interrupting him: "The three of them have already returned to their respective homes. Even if it's dangerous, they must go back to gather reinforcements. The situation is more critical than ever. Do you want to return to Lingxiao City with me?"
She said "return," not "go."
For her, Lingxiao City was her home, the realm she had conquered.
"Return!"
Li Weiyi answered without the slightest hesitation, speaking both to her and to himself.
