Chapter 64 The Purple Mansion Makes its Debut
"This formation can only be destroyed from the inside out." Yu Die gently stroked the strings of the zither, and the music flowed like water in the private room.
"Those who enter the formation will have their magical power drained instantly, and their physical body will also be imprisoned. Unless one cultivates a secret technique that does not require magical power to activate, entering the formation is no different from going to one's death."
Or perhaps a cultivator from the Purple Mansion realm forcibly breaks the formation.
Li Qingyi's heart skipped a beat. 'Could her words be implying something? I have a feeling there's more to them than meets the eye.'
"Thank you for your guidance, young lady." Li Qingyi bowed respectfully.
"I will remember your kindness today. If you need me in the future, you may come to my secluded courtyard in the south of the city."
After saying this, he got up and took his leave.
"Time was of the essence, so Li went to rescue the people first."
After Li Qingyi and Ling'er left, Yu Die's dignified and elegant demeanor vanished instantly, replaced by a girl's unique languor.
She rested her chin on her hand, a slight smile playing on her lips:
"I knew you two had a close relationship. You even tried to lie to me that night?"
……
Li Qingyi knew that she could only break the deadlock by relying on the sword energy within her body.
After leaving Luomei Residence, to ensure everything went smoothly, he decided to have Qingkui accompany him. The combined power of their sword energy might be able to break the great formation.
"Wait for me in the city, I'll be right back."
"I'll go with you," Ling'er refused without hesitation.
She thought to herself, "Brother Qingyi must be hiding something from me."
Li Qingyi's first reaction was still to refuse.
His original plan was to retrieve the Azure Puppet into his sea of consciousness, break the formation with lightning speed, and then escape from the other side.
Li Qinglian and that late-stage Qi Refining cultivator must be guarding the entrance. If Ling'er is brought along, they will inevitably have to confront them head-on.
Li Qingyi frowned:
"No. There are late-stage Qi Refining cultivators guarding the entrance, and another person holds a jade talisman that can summon a Purple Mansion clone. It's too dangerous for you to come with me."
Upon hearing this, Ling'er felt a warmth in her heart, and a faint smile unconsciously appeared on her lips: 'So he was worried about me...'
These words of concern immediately dispelled three-tenths of Ling'er's displeasure.
She pursed her lips and took out a jade talisman from her storage bag: "A jade talisman to summon a Purple Mansion clone? It's like nobody doesn't have one."
Li Qingyi stared intently at it and saw that the spiritual patterns on the jade talisman were flowing, and its aura was exactly the same as the one she had seen in Li Qinglian's hand that night.
"You had this, why didn't you say so earlier?"
Ling'er pouted and muttered:
"This is my trump card for survival, how can I use it so easily? Besides, he's Brother Qingyi's friend, what does he have to do with me? If he dies, he dies."
Li Qingyi's lips twitched upon hearing this. "That's my true form..."
However, he could only think these words in his heart and could not say them to people's faces.
With Ling'er's methods at her disposal, Li Qingyi's confidence soared.
He immediately took Ling'er and rushed towards the cave.
……
Li Qingyi stopped in the dense forest near the cave entrance and looked around, but there was no one there.
He knew that the other party was definitely hiding in the shadows.
"I will go out to lure the enemy out, and you stay here and observe the situation. If no one shows up, remain still; if you see someone make a move, immediately activate the jade talisman."
Ling'er nodded solemnly.
Such a life-saving move should naturally be used by her.
Li Qingyi no longer concealed herself. After circling halfway around, she suddenly appeared at the cave entrance, her sword energy like a rainbow, sweeping outwards in all directions.
"Aren't you coming out yet? Li Qinglian, that Blood Sacrifice Demon Formation down there is truly insidious."
Hearing this from the shadows, Li Qinglian's pupils constricted sharply: 'How could he be here? And how does he know about the formation here?'
An ominous premonition came over me.
At her signal, Pu Yuan immediately stepped forward and struck Li Qingyi with a palm.
The condensed palm force pierced through the air and arrived, but Li Qingyi was prepared and unleashed sword energy from her entire body.
However, the difference in their cultivation levels was too great, and the once invincible sword energy shattered instantly. Li Qingyi used the momentum to dodge to the side, her clothes fluttering in the strong wind.
"This true understanding of swordsmanship is a bit insufficient. It's even difficult to withstand a normal attack from a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator."
Li Qingyi deeply felt that her current cultivation level was indeed inadequate.
Pu Yuan pressed his advantage, forming hand seals. Instantly, sand and stones flew, a fierce wind arose, and a terrifying pressure enveloped the surrounding area.
Seeing this from the shadows, Ling'er crushed the jade talisman without hesitation.
In an instant, Pu Yuan and Li Qinglian felt their hair stand on end and their pupils shrink. A chilling pressure swept over them, and even the air seemed to freeze.
Li Qingyi was also stunned by this aura, her figure pausing slightly: 'This is the power of the Purple Mansion? Even just an avatar possesses such might!'
Li Qinglian, hiding in the shadows, reacted even faster. The moment the sense of crisis arrived, she also crushed the jade talisman that summoned her Purple Mansion clone.
The auras of two True Immortals of the Purple Mansion intertwined and collided in the mountains and fields, causing the heavens and earth to change color.
Pu Yuan, who was casting a spell, was forcibly interrupted, and his face turned pale.
Master Minghao's figure slowly solidified in mid-air. His gaze swept across the battlefield and finally landed on that dark figure.
"Your Youyue Kingdom has broken the rules," said Master Minghao indifferently.
The dark figure above Li Qinglian's expression hardened: "I'm only taking my good-for-nothing junior with me."
Below, Li Qinglian was utterly shocked: 'How is this possible!'
Her gaze was fixed on Li Qingyi: 'How did he know all this? And even summoned his Purple Mansion clone! What is his true identity?!'
Confusion, bewilderment, shock, and fear—a mix of emotions surged forth.
Li Qinglian was completely baffled. How could their secretive actions have been leaked?
Master Minghao had already sensed the fluctuations of the Blood Sacrifice Demon Formation and discovered Li Qingyi within it.
"oh?"
Upon seeing the two Li Qingyi, he secretly made a hand seal, casting a secret technique to conceal the true form of the Li Qingyi in the formation, preventing the Purple Mansion of Youyue Kingdom from seeing through it.
Master Minghao pointed to the large formation below: "Shouldn't the Youyue Kingdom give an explanation?"
With that, he flicked his sleeve and rescued Li Qingyi from the formation, gently placing her beside Ling'er.
Upon hearing this, the black-robed Zi Fu from Youyue Kingdom frowned. "Fellow Daoist, could you please keep this a secret? Youyue Kingdom will certainly offer a generous reward."
Master Minghao smiled calmly: "What price are you willing to pay, fellow Daoist?"
Seeing that his attitude had softened, the man in black robes knew that there was still room for maneuver.
"Everything is negotiable. As long as you ask, the Youyue Kingdom will certainly grant your request."
Upon hearing this, Master Minghao indeed showed a thoughtful expression.
The two concealed their conversation with a secret technique, so Li Qingyi and the others below had no way of knowing it.
Ling'er glanced at Li Qingyi, who had been thrown to her side, with disdain.
Li Qingyi was puzzled by this inexplicable hostility:
"What's wrong with me?"
Ling'er ignored Li Qingyi's disguised true form and went to find the Green Puppet in the distance.
On the battlefield where Qingkui and Puyuan were facing off, Qingkui had already retreated dozens of feet away.
Under the oppressive power of the two Purple Mansions, Pu Yuan was unable to move and trembled with fear.
Li Qingyi looked up at Minghao Zhenren, not understanding why he was showing her kindness.
First, he saved himself, and then he helped Qingkui dispel the oppressive aura of the black-robed purple mansion.
He touched his face and could clearly feel a mysterious aura enveloping him.
"This should be a secret technique to prevent others from seeing through my true form."
But Li Qingyi's heart was far from at peace.
Since Minghao was able to use this method, he must have realized the connection between him and Qingkui.
