Peace Order
Chapter 67 - 67 55 Above the Heavenly Four Symbols_2

67: Chapter 55 Above the Heavenly Four Symbols_2 67: Chapter 55 Above the Heavenly Four Symbols_2 Entering his vision were traces of mountain rock, and by his ears he could still hear the soft sound of a stream flowing over stones.

The youth gasped for breath, and then came a peaceful voice that soothed the momentary restlessness in his heart, “You’ve awakened.”

Li Guanyi turned his head and saw Shaking Light kneeling and reading a book before him.

Without her hood, her silver hair peacefully fell over her temples, stained with blood on the hem of her clothes.

Li Guanyi lowered his head and saw that his wounds had been treated and bandaged with clean cloth.

With the enhancement of his body after Entering Realm, these wounds no longer felt significant.

Only the rapid flow of his body’s blood made the healing wounds tingle and itch slightly.

Shaking Light looked at him, “You’ve entered the realm.

You can try to sense the changes in your body.”

This was the mountain rock outside of Shui Jian.

Li Guanyi raised his head, sensing the differences around him.

It was as if he had suddenly acquired an extra sense, or rather, as if for the first time he opened his eyes and could instinctively feel a certain special power between heaven and earth.

He clenched his fist, feeling a certain level of increase in his physical strength.

However, Li Guanyi could sense a power brimming with destructive energy in the palm of his hand.

With just a swing, he could unleash power far exceeding the past.

He had entered the realm.

He didn’t know how effective this entering the realm was.

As he sensed his own power, the bronze tripod hummed softly.

A misty aura appeared at the bottom of the youth’s eyes, and to his right, a tiger’s paw touched the ground, a White Tiger almost five feet tall and seven feet long paced slowly as if it were real.

On his left, a Red Dragon ten feet long quietly coiled, its scale armor seemingly flowing with firelight.

And in the midst of it all sat the youth with blood-stained clothes.

This scene, however, was invisible to anyone else.

Li Guanyi could clearly feel his own power, just like knowing the probable effect of a strike when holding a sword; at this moment, he could mobilize the Inner Qi to draw upon the Primordial Qi of heaven and earth, and with a single punch, his internal power could break through his body.

He had many techniques; he need not use any Dharma Form martial arts to invoke the power of the Dharma Form.

The White Tiger Dharma Form could envelop his weapons and limbs with extra sharpness and defense.

The Red Dragon Skills, in turn, allowed Li Guanyi to infuse his punches and kicks with fiery energy so intense that it couldn’t be used on common weapons, as even hundred-refined weapons couldn’t withstand prolonged infusion of such fiery power.

But the specifics of this display would have to be tested in real combat.

However, he didn’t know if he truly had received the legacy of the Yin Yang Family.

The Dharma Form, transformed from the Mystic Turtle Imprint left by Mr.

Siming and the unknowably old Mystic Turtle, lay languidly without even poking its head out, let alone being mobilized.

Li Guanyi thought of what the Mystic Turtle had said about seeking it out after entering the realm, and he resolved to go and search for it.

He recalled the image he had just seen.

The Mystic Turtle, the blank high platform, those jade staircases, and the vague White Jade high seat in the distance.

Instinctively touching the bronze tripod over his heart, Li Guanyi felt that the image he saw was connected to the tripod.

Inside the bronze tripod, the Jade Liquid was almost fully accumulated.

Just passing over the battlefield for a brief moment directly filled the bronze tripod to nine tenths full.

If it weren’t for the fact that the final part usually required a special way to complete, either by contact with a Divine Weapon or like Yue Qianfeng, who had to display an Absolute Skill directly to activate it, Li Guanyi felt that the tripod would have been more than full.

Entering the realm, Jade Liquid, Dharma Form, visions seen in dreams.

All sorts of things surged forth together.

Li Guanyi steadied his mind and said, “Did I make the breakthrough here just now?”

Shaking Light answered, “No.”

Her voice was serene, “We went to the secret realm just now.

The Star Power there is too abundant, and while it stimulated you, it was detrimental to your recovery.

I brought you out.

The message left by General Xue is for you to fully grasp the realm you’ve entered, cultivate the corresponding techniques until you achieve a certain level of proficiency.”

“Then join me in entering the secret realm.”

Li Guanyi raised his eyebrows.

Together with Shaking Light.

He thought of the record in the Breaking Cloud Sky-shattering Bow, the notes on General Xue and Shaking Light of the Stargazing School from five hundred years ago, and understood a bit more.

Now that he had entered the realm, he should be able to get more legacy from the Breaking Cloud Sky-shattering Bow as well.

The cold light of General Xue’s arrow had always been Li Guanyi’s trump card.

But that would have to wait until he returned to the Xue Family.

There were more important things to attend to now.

Li Guanyi looked at the captured enemy, who was bagged up in a black sack.

Seemingly very calm, he remained silent throughout.

“True to an assassin’s nature…”

Li Guanyi marveled.

Then, he removed the sack from the assassin’s head and saw his panic-stricken face, his nose bruised and swollen, his mouth agape as if screaming incessantly, but transparent luminescence sealed his lips firmly.

He opened his mouth to shout, but not even a whisper could escape.

Which only added to his terror, panic flashing in his eyes.

Li Guanyi froze, then turned to look at Shaking Light.

Shaking Light had already donned a hood, revealing only strands of silver hair and a smooth chin, her demeanor calm, her voice without ripples, “The recent events, he must not witness.

During your breakthrough, he must not make any sound to disturb your rest.

You can be at ease, everything was very secure just now.”

Without a sound, the luminescence on the assassin’s lips dissipated.

The assassin, now able to speak, hurriedly shouted, “I’ll talk, I’ll say anything.”

“Just let me leave, you can cripple my martial arts, cut off my tongue and tendons, I guarantee I won’t say a word about any of this to anyone!”

He gasped for air, eyeing the youth who had entered the realm at thirteen or fourteen and the woman with white hair.

Li Guanyi said, “Aren’t you supposed to keep secrets?”

The assassin retorted, “I’m just paid to kill, I have no need to sacrifice my life for it, an assassin is not a death soldier.”

Li Guanyi wasn’t sure if this was considered professional for an assassin.

Gathering his wits, the assassin said, “That crossbow bolt in your shoulder was mine.

You spared my life only because you wanted to know something.

I can tell you everything I know, you can still cut off my tongue and sever my tendons.”

“But the last part, I must be allowed to leave and write it down, buried under a rock, otherwise, it’s death either way.

You have to at least give me a chance to live, then I will cooperate with you.”

“Otherwise, I’d rather you kill me now.”

Li Guanyi was convinced; this was a professional through and through.

Shaking Light said, “Please wait a moment.”

She stretched out her fair palm, her fingertips tracing through the air, leaving behind trails of golden light, ultimately forming an ancient pattern.

With a gentle tap, it entered the assassin’s forehead, his voice abruptly arresting.

Shaking Light turned to Li Guanyi, strands of hair falling at her temple, nodded gently and whispered:

“Now, you may inquire.”

“He will not tell another lie.”

Fear flickered in the bottom of the assassin’s eyes.

Li Guanyi looked at the assassin and asked, “Who are you?

Where do you come from?”

The assassin answered decisively, “Wen Xi, Mo Zhe disciple, from a region of Chen Country.”

Mo Zhe’s disciples were numerous; some of them took to a narrower path of chivalry when they dispersed, among whom the most extreme became assassins.

Li Guanyi continued, “Who sent you?”

Struggle appeared on the assassin’s face, “It was…

the Prime Minister.”

“Tantai Xianming.”

“He said the Xue Family’s influence was vast, meddling in worldly affairs, harboring disloyal intentions towards Chen.

With Noble Consort Xue pregnant, if it’s a prince that is born, the Xue Family’s power could upset the court, causing the Empress to fall out of favor.

The Consort’s son could become the Crown Prince, a significant matter of displacing the elder for the younger.”

“We were told to kill Xue Daoyong of the Xue Family and to also repel Yue Qianfeng.”

Li Guanyi took note of this information, pondered a moment, and asked, “Do you have any evidence?”

“Can you still write a confession?”

To hand over to Mr.

Siming.

Returning the favor in kind.

The assassin’s complexion turned deathly white as he refused, “My limbs have been crippled by you.”

Li Guanyi fell silent, filled with a bit of regret for his earlier ruthlessness.

He subconsciously looked towards Shaking Light.

Shaking Light met his gaze.

Her eyes returned to the assassin’s face, her voice calm and without ripples, responding to Li Guanyi’s need, “Using the arts of the Yin Yang Family, I can leave his traces in the Qi, imprint the Qi into jade.

Shattering the jade will reveal the entire scene.”

Li Guanyi was overjoyed.

He searched himself and found the elixir pills given to him by Elder Xue Daoyong.

They were for healing and restoring Primordial Qi.

Li Guanyi immediately swallowed them and handed the jade bottle to Shaking Light.

After listening to the assassin painfully recount everything, Li Guanyi prepared to ask what mattered most to him, “Just now, someone mentioned that, ten years ago…”

“You, ten years ago, did you ever pursue a woman carrying a three-year-old child?!”

The color drained from the assassin’s face in an instant.
