Chapter 134: Chapter 134 Divine Veins, Primordial Spirit, Assassination

With a mere thought, the ancient mirror floating above the bed levitated.

A golden radiance flickered past.

The thin membrane covering the inside of the tent dispersed instantly.

"Enter!"

A slender figure lifted the tent flap and walked in.

"Is there an issue?"

Liang Hui placed the hovering ancient mirror into his bosom, looking at the woman in white who had just entered.

"News from Chu Nation has arrived; the negotiations continue. We must depart now."

Qing Yi gazed with a complex look at the figure sitting cross-legged on the bed.

"So soon," Liang Hui frowned slightly.

"The events that transpired here were significant. The remaining soldiers must have used a special method of communication to inform Chu Nation immediately."

After a moment of hesitation, Qing Yi still asked in a low voice,

"Are you still planning to go with us?"

"If I say I won’t go, Goddess, would you still capture me and take me there?"

The youth stood up, his eyes deep.

"I...."

"I will go. Since I promised you I would head to Chu Nation, I will not break my word."

With a serious expression, Liang Hui slowly stepped in front of the woman.

"Let’s set off now."

Then, he walked past Qing Yi’s figure and out of the tent.

The golden palace was already floating in mid-air, and Liang Hui turned into a streak of light soaring into the sky.

Qing Yi followed and entered the palace as well.

The moment they entered the palace, the lively atmosphere among the envoy dissipated, giving way to silence.

Without a word, Liang Hui found a secluded corner to sit down.

It was a while before the conversations among the people resumed.

...

In Chu Nation, Jingzhou.

Star Moon Tower.

A silver-white tower that stood amongst mountains, reaching into the clouds, was the site of a high-level meeting.

Figures emitting strong presences sat on chairs made of starlight, focusing on three vague figures on the high platform.

"Let us discuss, my friends, whether we should intervene," came a calm voice from above.

"Master, I believe we should. The Chu royal family has been pressing hard against our sect."

"First by exploiting the wars with the Great Zhou to weaken our sect’s strength and then sending numerous disciples to join our ranks under the guise of bolstering our potential, when in fact they intend to make our sect a vassal to the royal family."

As the conversation unfolded, one elder after another expressed their views.

Ninety percent of the elders agreed with the proposal to intervene.

"Silence!"

A soft utterance, and the din ceased instantly.

The calm voice continued from the platform.

"Then we shall intervene. Leave behind the delegation from Great Zhou that came for negotiations, and let the war between the southern and northern reaches of Chu Nation continue, depleting the royal family’s strength."

"As you command, Sect Leader!"

...

Seven days later.

Liang Hui and his companions, after passing through numerous checkpoints, stepped into Chu Nation.

Despite such strict scrutiny, Chu Nation still deployed numerous mighty figures to follow the periphery of the group.

Surrounding the golden palace, five Flying Boats accompanied them.

Liang Hui sat cross-legged within the palace, sensing the formidable presences around him and frowning slightly.

He had planned to find a quiet corner after entering Chu Nation and use the Mystic Altar to break through space and leave.

He had not expected to be under such close watch by five Qi-Blood, True Realization experts.

For a moment, he could not find an opportunity to leave.

Indifferently observing his surroundings, his gaze seemed to penetrate the walls of the palace, sighting the five vigilant experts on the Flying Boats.

’There is still time, no rush!’ Liang Hui murmured in his heart and settled down to continue his cultivation.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, four days had gone by.

The palace had reached the southern part of Jingzhou.

That day, as Liang Hui was deep in cultivation, his eyes suddenly flew open.

Danger!

Genuine danger!!

Extreme danger!!!

The air and dust around him were conveying the same message.

Alarms were going off in all directions.

’Primordial Spirit?’

Without time to think further, Liang Hui immediately took action.

Several Mystic Altars were placed into his bosom, and two green talismans were affixed to his arms. (One of which was a life-saving talisman given to him by Ji Lu during the fight at the Zhou-Chu border)

The Crimson Jade Bell, the ancient mirror, the Purple Thunder Bead, the five-layered Little Tower—each Magic Artifact was placed within his robes, ready to be activated at any moment.

One artifact after another, all designed to increase speed, were placed in the most conspicuous position within the storage space.

The figure shrank into a corner of the palace, with its aura continuously dissipating.

Meanwhile, the Flowing Light Bell in the mind was trembling slightly, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

One minute!

Two minutes!

Three minutes!

A streak of silver light flashed by, and silence fell upon both heaven and earth.

The palace, together with the surrounding Flying Boats, exploded with a loud bang.

Liang Hui watched with his own eyes as the arrogant figures who had stood in the center of the palace were turned into a pulp.

Boom! Boom!.....

Then, a deafening roar resounded by the ears.

Blood and bones scattered with the roar, falling in all directions.

"Star Moon Tower, how dare you do this?"

"The Chu Emperor will settle accounts with you."

Insane roars echoed through the sky.

Three distinct figures dashed frantically away in all directions.

Hmph!

With a light snort, one of the fleeing figures exploded outright.

The remaining two figures increased their speed even more frantically.

And Liang Hui, having concealed all traces of his aura, fell from the sky like debris from the palace.

He observed the sky only with his peripheral vision.

A blurry figure stood in the sky, raising its hand, waving its palm.

Whether they were followers of the Dao or had established Qi-Meridians, all shattered to dust.

Liang Hui only glanced once before immediately averting his gaze, scanning for a landing spot.

Boom!

A tremendous crash echoed across the land, yet Liang Hui still did not use any Inner Strength.

Suddenly, a familiar and elderly figure burst out from the nearby jungle and sped off into the distance.

Wrapped in a glow of blood, the figure’s speed reached an extreme point.

In just a few breaths, it had already gone more than ten miles away.

The oppressive feeling of the sky falling dissipated in an instant, as a ray of silver pursued the blood light.

At that moment, Liang Hui, without any hesitation, exerted his Inner Strength, Qi-Blood, and Mana to their limits, taking out various artifacts that could increase speed as if they cost him nothing.

He knew that Elder Chen could only buy him so much time.

One breath, two breaths, or even the next moment, that mighty figure would return.

He immediately transformed into a crimson sword light, skimming the ground as he hurried into the distance.

He needed to leave the sealed space at the fastest speed possible and escape using the Mystic Altar.

The moment Liang Hui became a sword light, various streams of light rose from the earth, heading in different directions.

Clearly, many of the chosen ones in the team had hidden themselves, waiting for this moment to make their escape.

Trees were torn apart, rocks shattered; whatever stood in his way was cleaved in twain.

"I didn’t expect to find a big fish here, stay behind," said a voice as Moonlight Essence with a strong aura fell from the sky.

Liang Hui did not hesitate and immediately activated a green talisman that was affixed to his arm.

A beast’s paw, large enough to block out the sun, appeared from the sky and pressed down towards the enemy.

And the youth, without even looking at the outcome, moved on.

From beginning to end, his speed did not decrease in the slightest.

Ten seconds!

One minute!

Three minutes!

The dim Mystic Altar emitted a glow and shattered directly.

A dark space crack appeared, and Liang Hui was about to step in.

A dazzling sword light came slashing from miles away, heading straight for him.

The ground was ripped apart, and hills were cleaved in half by the splendid sword light carrying an unmatched edge.

A five-story Blue Tower flew out from his chest.

In an instant, it expanded to tens of meters tall, colliding with the sword light.

Boom!

A cold shout, and the Little Tower exploded directly.

The blue radiance covered the surroundings, but in just a few breaths, it was extinguished by the sword light.

However, Liang Hui’s figure had already vanished from the spot.

By this time, a series of figures with powerful auras had arrived around the crack.

Their faces were indescribably gloomy.

They had just been attracted by the massive beast’s paw, thinking a mighty expert of the Spiritual Vein had intervened and wanted to go help.

They had not expected to let a rat escape.

"It doesn’t matter, it’s just a rat."

"All alone, what can it possibly do?"
