The Unruly Immortals

As Zuo Qiuyong kept slicing his own flesh, the flesh and blood that fell to the ground writhed and grew rapidly. In just a few breaths, the ground was covered with new, writhing Zuo Qiuyongs.

Every piece of flesh and bone he sliced off would, under the influence of the Heavenly Dao of Growth, become another Zuo Qiuyong.

"Scatter flesh to form an army?"

Seeing this scene, Li Huowang's face turned extremely grim. Although the Heavenly Dao of Growth could no longer be used on himself, it could still be used on Zuo Qiuyong.

Seeing that in such a short time the ground had already spawned over ten Zuo Qiuyongs, Li Huowang mustered his strength and charged towards Zuo Qiuyong, trying to stop him from slicing further.

The newly grown, almost half-formed Zuo Qiuyongs lunged forward to block Li Huowang, but Feng Erniu rushed up with his abacus, defending him from them.

Both sides were locked in a fierce battle, the sounds of slaughter unending, as both sides unleashed their Divine Skills effortlessly. But Li Huowang paid no attention to anything else; his entire focus was on the Zuo Qiuyong who had the Dragon Veins on him.

All the other Zuo Qiuyongs didn't matter; only the sixteen Dragon Veins on him were the key!

Li Huowang's body quickly shifted position, and this time the displacement wasn't just a yard away but directly in front of Zuo Qiuyong.

As Li Huowang's hands tightly gripped the hand holding the broken bone, his whole body's tentacles instantly wrapped around the Dragon Veins on Zuo Qiuyong.

Just at that moment, two intact Zuo Qiuyongs jumped out from the side, rushing towards Li Huowang.

"Die for us! Li Huowang!" The two Zuo Qiuyongs shouted as they pounced in front of Li Huowang, their hands suddenly turning, stabbing directly into Zuo Qiuyong.

"Huh?" Looking at the two attacking him, Zuo Qiuyong was taken aback. The next moment, he saw their faces quickly melt, finally becoming two heads of a Touzi.

The two Touzi attacked from both sides, their four hands reaching for the Dragon Vein tattoos. They managed to push in a fake one and forcibly pull a real one out of Zuo Qiuyong's body.

Dragon roars constantly echoed, shaking the space around them.

Seeing that force wasn't working, the Touzi resorted to chaos. He quickly took out several dice and forcefully pressed them into the head of the Dragon Vein.

The Dragon Veins on Zuo Qiuyong's body seemed to have another idea, as if wanting to leave his body.

Zuo Qiuyong opened his mouth to chant a spell, seemingly wanting to do something, but the near Li Huowang wouldn't give him the chance.

Li Huowang opened his mouth wide, and with a retching sound, Li Sui mixed with blood was spat fiercely into Zuo Qiuyong's mouth.

As Li Huowang's body, bursting at the seams, began to shrink, Zuo Qiuyong's body was continually being expanded.

With a "pop," two slimy black tentacles forced Zuo Qiuyong's eyeballs out, slapping chaotically.

Li Huowang's expression hardened again, and the others fighting the other Zuo Qiuyongs quickly vanished, reappearing beside him to pin Zuo Qiuyong down.

In the past, Cultivation of Truth practitioners would scatter at the sight of Dragon Veins, but now it was different because, in Li Huowang's heart, these were real, absolutely real.

While Zuo Qiuyong's body was tightly controlled by Li Sui, Li Huowang and others swiftly pulled out the sixteen Dragon Veins.

Finally, as Bai Lingmiao stuffed Death back into Zuo Qiuyong's body, all the chaos within the Capital City finally quieted down.

With the entrance to Da Liang from Tianchen Country closed by Heart Pan, the exhausted people of Tianchen Country retreated step by step under the assault from the Da Liang military.

The Dragon Veins were tightly pinned to the ground. Looking at these Dragon Veins, Li Huowang let out a long breath. With these Dragon Veins, Da Qi's fate finally had a chance of survival.

After such turmoil, he could finally have a moment of peace.

"I can't help for nothing, I want a Dragon Vein as we agreed with your daughter," the Touzi said as he approached Li Huowang.

Li Huowang wiped the blood from his face, looking at the Touzi with a somewhat complex expression, "Why did you help? I really don't understand."

All the Zuo Qiuyongs were dead, at least in this matter, the Touzi indeed didn't play any tricks.

The Touzi chuckled, very frankly saying, "I help whoever wins."

Faced with such candid words from the Touzi, Li Huowang had nothing to say.

"You can have a Dragon Vein as your reward, but next time, if there's really news, don't wait until the last minute to tell."

"Yes, yes, Sir Ji Zai is absolutely right." The Touzi said as he went to pick a Dragon Vein.

At this moment, Li Huowang looked at the remaining fifteen Dragon Veins with some difficulty. Though there were more Dragon Veins, there weren't enough to distribute, especially since Da Qi didn't have a single Dragon Vein.

Also, not all of Tianchen Country's Dragon Veins could be taken; after all, there are still people in Tianchen. If they took everything, the people of Tianchen would have to go through what Da Qi went through, all over again.

As Li Huowang pondered these matters, a shadow loomed overhead. He looked up and saw a tower of heads wrapped in countless tentacles.

This was Li Sui, his daughter.

"Suisui, we won." Li Huowang smiled at her happily.

"Yes, we won." Li Sui repeated Li Huowang's words.

Just then, Bai Lingmiao walked over, gently leaning against Li Huowang.

And at this moment, a tentacle from Li Sui reached into Bai Lingmiao's ear.

Bai Lingmiao paused slightly, then nodded gently, walking towards the White Lotus hall.

"Why did you send her away? Is there something you want to say to me?"

Upon seeing the heads on Li Sui, Li Huowang immediately turned his gaze to the Dragon Veins.

"Right, look at these Dragon Veins. You work at the Astronomical Bureau; help me figure out how to divide the three degrees of history among these Dragon Veins."

"How many Dragon Veins does Da Liang have currently? Are the Hours sufficient? Does it need to be replenished to eleven Dragon Veins?"

"By the way, how many Dragon Veins do you think are minimally needed to maintain one level of history?"

"Bang," the tower of heads wrapped in tentacles slammed down in front of Li Huowang.

"Father, seeing me like this right now, don't you want to ask anything?"

Li Huowang's heart trembled. Looking at the heads on Li Sui, he opened his mouth. He wanted to ask something but didn't know where to start.

The father and daughter looked at each other, and for a moment, neither of them said a word.

Finally, Xuan Pin spoke first, "Even if I don't say it, I believe you've likely guessed something."

"Let's talk later. The Capital City is in such chaos; there's no time for idle chatter."

Li Huowang turned to leave, but a sentence stopped him.

"Father, I might not have been your Li Sui for a long time."
