Deep in the Luoyun Mountains, there are dense layers of towering trees.
Looking around, thick fog lingers between the undulating mountains, like a sea of clouds falling from the sky, which is so beautiful.
Occasionally, the wind howled by, and suddenly, huge waves of fog rolled in the mountains and slapped on the top of the mountains, which was quite spectacular.
At this time, the sky above the sea of clouds and mist faded from darkness, gradually became clearer, and became azure.
In the endless sky, there are several red flying beasts from time to time. A pair of eyes exudes a gaze even sharper than that of an eagle, and then they pass between the mountains surrounded by clouds and mist.
A red flying beast with the head of a cat and the body of a leopard, with wings on both sides. Its whole body is covered with red feathers that are as red as blood. It is huge, three to four feet tall.
This is a third-level earth spirit red-winged leopard cat. It flies extremely fast and can fly about five hundred miles in an hour. It can fly for several hours continuously without resting.
On the back of each huge red-winged leopard cat, there are more than a dozen figures standing, observing the rolling fog waves below.
Although they searched very carefully, they still couldn't find the target, and the fog and waves obscured their sight.
The sun struggled to climb up into the sky, its dazzling light covering the misty mountains, and the thick fog gradually dissipated.
More and more red-winged ocelots appear above the mountains. Although there are giant trees hundreds of feet high covering the ground, the search speed is much faster than before.
After dozens of red-winged leopard cats circled an area several times, with still no results, they finally gathered in one place.
The figures on the beast's back all shook their heads after communicating with each other with their eyes and gestures.
On the red-winged leopard cat in the middle, there is only a human figure, which seems to be exuding coercion. This is a peak powerhouse in the early stage of Nirvana.
After he made a few simple gestures to the figures surrounding him, a dozen red-winged leopard cats suddenly separated and flew in all directions to expand the search area.
And the strong man who was at the peak of the early stage of Nirvana flew alone in the direction of Yunliu City with the red flying beast.
Thousands of miles away from the search team, at the bottom of a cliff in the northwest of the Luoyun Mountains, there is an area where thorn vines are particularly dense and thick. If it were not covered by the branches and leaves in front, it would be easy to notice the difference here.
If you fly by from the sky and are covered by lush trees, it will be difficult to notice how special this place is.
"I have been practicing breath regulation for more than an hour. Why is Xiao Yuanzi's face still so pale? The elixir has no effect."
Li Yunqing's anxious voice sounded in the cave behind the lush thorns and vines.
Her eyebrows were furrowed, her face was full of sorrow, and her beautiful eyes were staring at Li Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the bluestone, adjusting his breath.
After a while, she moved her eyes to the little girl lying on another piece of bluestone, and asked with concern: "Yuan Yao, how do you feel?"
"I feel nothing but weakness."
It's rare for a little girl to be so well-behaved.
"Why is Xiao Yuanzi like this? Do you know what's going on?" Li Yunqing asked.
"I don't know either. Before, I clearly felt that I was going to be squeezed out of his body, but suddenly that feeling disappeared in an instant. After that, I found that you were being taken up by him."
Yuan Yao thought about it carefully, and then responded with a voice like a mosquito.
"Wait a little longer! It's probably due to excessive consumption! There is a locking formation at the entrance of the cave that was set up before Ling fell asleep, so the Liu family's men can't find us!"
Shi Chen, who was sitting with his back against the rock wall at the entrance of the cave, carefully observed the forest through the gaps between the lush vines.
Another hour passed.
The pale color on Li Yuan's face softened a little, he exhaled a breath of turbid air, and slowly opened his eyes.
"Xiao Yuan is fine!"
Looking at Li Yuan who quit practicing, Yuan Yao, who was lying on the bluestone, showed excitement in his eyes.
Li Yunqing, who had been anxious all the time, slowly breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward quickly, and asked with concern: "Xiao Yuanzi, how do you feel? I see that your face is still relatively pale, and your breathing has stabilized."
"The body was severely affected by the surge in power. Fortunately, now that I have entered the Yuan Dan realm, the repair speed has increased a lot, and I can recover in two or three days." Li Yuan smiled and suppressed the pain in his body to avoid worrying them.
"Where shall we go next?"
Shi Chen couldn't see anything on the surface, but he was worried for Li Yuan in his heart. The tense atmosphere in the cave lasted for a few hours, and then he changed the topic.
Hearing this, Yuan Yao rolled her eyes and turned her head to look at Li Yuan: "That's right. Where are we going next? The Liu family is too strong, especially the old woman. She resisted the last blow alone and didn't kill her. He finally said that he would send some flying team to search for us."
Rubbing his chin and thinking for a moment, Li Yuan slowly said: "Even if she doesn't die, her strength will be greatly reduced. In three to five years, her injuries will not heal.
"She doesn't have much life left. After receiving such a blow, I'm afraid her life span will be shortened, and she will probably only have a few years to live.
"However, this time we did underestimate the peak strength of the mid-term Nirvana. It seems that the Nirvana realm cannot be measured by the improvement in strength between each level of the Yuan Dan realm."
"No matter how strong she is, what can she do? It's not like she was defeated by you and me together." Yuan Yao, who was lying down, raised her chin, pursed her lips, and said proudly.
Hearing this, Li Yuan smiled, then put away his smile, and said in a deep voice: "Although we crossed the center of the Luoyun Mountains and came to the southwest, we are still within the Liu family's sphere of influence. Now everyone should have a good rest, recuperate, and leave as soon as possible. .
"The Nirvana Realm members of the Liu family who fought last night were dead or injured. Liu Tianyun was seriously injured and should not come out again.
“But from the information given by my father and others, there are at least twelve Nirvana people in the Liu family, maybe more, and none of them are vegetarians.
"Little aunt and Shi Chen can at most block one or two Nirvana realms. With my current strength, I'm afraid I can't even defeat a mid-Yuan Dan realm, nor can I reunite with Xiao Yaoyao.
"They have a flying team, and they will probably search here soon. Although there is an air lock formation at the entrance of the cave, I left my presence in the forest before.
"If the three red blood bats in the Luoyun Mountains are really cultivated by the Liu family, the possibility of us being discovered at night will be greatly increased.
"They want to check the mountains and forests one by one, and the soonest they can get here is night. We took advantage of this time to escape to the outer edge of the Luoyun Mountains.
"Find a place first and wait for me to recover from my injuries. Otherwise, I won't get any benefit from the Liu family."
Li Yuan's expression was solemn, and he was indeed reluctant to take action now to avoid leaving hidden dangers.
Li Yunqing glanced at the entrance of the cave: "Without further ado, let's leave now. The Huangyun Rock Wood has long been used up, and we hope to reach the outer edge of the Luoyun Mountains before dark."
Nodding, Li Yuan released his soul power, and at the same time fired several beams of soul power on the air-locking formation at the entrance of the cave, and removed it. He then explored the nearby environment, confirmed that there was no danger, and glanced at Shi Chen.
Shi Chen dug through the thorns and vines, ejected, turned into the body of a heavenly spirit beast in the air, and landed heavily on the ground, causing the ground to tremble, the grass and trees to splash, and the leaves to fly.
Li Yunqing took Yuan Yao and Li Yuan and immediately chased him out, landing on the shoulders of the rock giant.
The rock giant releases its bloodline pressure. As long as it is not a guy like the three red blood bats that eats people without spitting out bones, even the monsters at the early stage of the fourth level have to avoid it.
It is daytime now, and it is difficult to encounter three red blood bats.
Looking around at the hundred-foot-tall giant trees, Shi Chen identified the direction, stamped his huge feet on the ground, and ran quickly toward the southwest.
………
Night once again enveloped the Luoyun Mountains.
Liu family's ancestral house, in a certain hall.
Liu Tianyun was half lying on a bench. After a day of practice, his face was still pale. He was no different from an ordinary old man. The energy around him was fluctuating and scattered.
Even in the early stage of Yuan Dan, she can detect the fluctuations of Yuan Power around her.
"Is there still no news about the thief?"
"Master, not yet." Liu Tianning quickly looked away from the book in his hand and said respectfully, coughing twice after speaking.
He looked up at the moonlight outside the window and thought for a long time. Liu Tianyun said in a deep voice: "I'm fine. I can't die. You've been here for a day. Go down and rest first. Your injuries are not serious. If you have any news, just let others know. .”
Hearing this, Liu Tianning was about to put away the blood-colored jade slips on the table. Suddenly, there was a flash of blood on the jade slips. Liu Tianning waved his sleeves and robe, and a voice came from it: "Mrs. Ning, we found traces in the southwest. From Lin From the aura left in them, we can infer that they should be heading in the direction of Liuyue Kingdom."
Liu Tianyun could also hear the sound coming from the blood-colored jade slip. She frowned slightly and ordered: "Send a message to the people in Meteor City immediately and conduct an investigation at its border immediately.
"All border cities of Liuyue Kingdom must be strictly inspected and they are not allowed to enter the country. Once they get into the city, it will be difficult for us to control them.
"The person who hurt me used some secret method to forcibly improve his cultivation level. Any secret method that instantly increases his cultivation level will make his body extremely weak when the time comes, so there is no need to worry about it.
"Also, let everyone in Luoyun Mountains rush to Liuyue Kingdom, and be sure to catch a few thieves back to me."
Liu Tianning did not hesitate at all, and immediately followed Liu Tianyun's words and sent a message to the people in Luoyun Mountain Range.
"Over at the mansion, tell them to cheer me up. During the battle last night, the strong men nearby must have been watching silently.
"We have dispatched so many people again to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation and seizing the treasures in the family treasury." Liu Tianning had just finished delivering the letter, and Liu Tianyun ordered again.
"Get it done right away!" Liu Tianning bowed and exited the hall.
………
The bright moonlight shines on the earth, and there are occasional beasts roaring in the quiet mountains and forests.
Suddenly, several big trees trembled, and then a black shadow suddenly rushed out and ran towards the cliff not far away.
"Shi Chen is back!"
At the entrance of a cave on the cliff, Yuan Yao looked down at the trembling woods below and noticed a familiar smell coming. He immediately stood up and shouted into the cave.
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure over one foot tall rose into the sky and swept up the cliff with a huge boulder.
The figure entered the cave, and the huge stone sealed the entrance.
The Yuan pattern outside the cave appears and disappears instantly. From a distance, no sign of the cave can be seen, and it is integrated with the cliff.
"Li Yuan, if I spread my aura everywhere in the forest, the Liu family will think that we have entered Liuyue Kingdom." Shi Chen walked in from the cave entrance passage.
"Hey!" Yuan Yao sighed softly, flew up and sat on a rock, shook his slender legs, held a branch in his right hand and kept lighting the void, and kept waving his left hand, throwing the moon stones all over the cave.
After a day of repairs, the little girl recovered a lot, and gradually became lively and said with a hint of resentment: "Why are we in the cave? There is a city as big as a hundred miles in front of us."
Li Yunqing moved lightly and sat down next to Yuan Yao, her red lips slightly parted: "The Liu family is huge, and the six thousand miles around Yunliu City is considered its core area.
“Although we have crossed over the Luoyun Mountains and reached the border of Liuyue Kingdom, Liuyue is only a small country and not powerful.
"Even Daxia has to unite the forces of many big families to suppress the Liu family, let alone the Liuyue Kingdom. It is estimated that the Liu family controls a lot of nearby cities.
"The beast tamer in Hongyun Town said before that there is a Nirvana strongman from the Liu family in Meteor City. For us to enter the city at this time is tantamount to throwing ourselves into a trap."
"What my little aunt said is exactly what I want to tell you." Li Yuan nodded, "You and I have not recovered yet, and now our combat power has dropped by at least 30%. Stay here for two days, and when we fully recover, we will immediately Walk."
Hearing this, Yuan Yao nodded silently.
The cave they were in was located on the outer edge of the Luoyun Mountains, within the territory of Liuyue Kingdom, nearly five thousand miles away from Yunliu City.
Less than a hundred miles further forward is Meteor City, a large city on the border of Liuyue Kingdom.
Although Meteor City is a large city within the Liuyue Kingdom, it is controlled by the Luoyunliu family and the Liuyue Kingdom together. There is always a Liu family Nirvana strongman in the city to consolidate the Liu family's power.
The land area of Liuyue Kingdom is only five times the size of Daxia Yuanzhou, and is not as big as Daxia Yunzhou. The two countries are separated by Jinghan Kingdom, bordering the Luoyun Mountains in the northeast, and the Daluo Empire in the north.
"There must have been a large number of three red blood bats in this cave before. The smell of blood is too strong." Yuan Yao, who had just calmed down, muttered again.
Li Yuan carefully inspected the cave and found nothing unusual except for the strong smell of blood.
He frowned, and took out a few purple dry grass from Yun Jing with some distress, then summoned the Qiankun Cauldron, refined it into pure powder, and then sprinkled it everywhere in the cave.
Yuan Yao jumped down from the rock and asked hurriedly: "What is this? The smell of blood disappeared immediately."
"Purple grass. These few plants alone can be sold for two to three million high-grade Yuan stones. If I refine it into elixirs, its value will be doubled several times. It will cost a lot to cover up the smell of blood." Li The corner of Yuan's mouth twitched, feeling distressed.
Yuan Yao smiled at Li Yuan, tapped her feet lightly on the ground, and sat back on the rock again.
There are countless three red blood bats in the Luoyun Mountains, and there are many things to restrain them, and Huangyunyanmu is one of them.
But the yellow cloud rock wood can only dispel it. The only thing that can really suppress them is the purple weed.
The three red blood bats are bloodthirsty and extremely violent. If Yuan Zhe wants to refine it, he must dilute its violent content, and it is best to mix in some purple dead grass.
After eliminating the smell of blood in the cave, Li Yuan walked to a huge rock and waved his palm over the rock. The strong wind of his palm swept the surface of the huge rock clean.
"Xiao Yaoyao, I'm going to start practicing. Please be quiet." He sat cross-legged on the rock and looked sideways at Yuan Yao.
Yuan Yao shook her little head, turned to Li Yunqing beside her, fell into his arms, and began to sleep.
Li Yunqing smiled.
As Yuan Yao fell asleep, the cave became quiet.
Although there is an elemental array arranged by Li Yuan with patterns and silk at the entrance of the cave, it can only hide the aura and confuse the sight.
There is no Yuan Formation in other parts of the cliff. It is extremely easy for a Nirvana strongman to break through the cliff.
Li Yunqing and Shichen were always observing the changes around them.
After a day of continuous practice, Li Yuan, who was motionless, finally turned rosy in his pale face and gradually recovered.
Seeing that Li Yuan was getting better, the big stone that had been hanging on Li Yunqing's chest fell down, and a slight smile appeared on his pretty face.
After another day and night, Li Yuan quit practicing and slowly opened his eyes.
"How is your broken body repairing?"
As soon as he opened his eyes, Yuan Yao's little face came over.
His expression changed slightly, he took a long breath, and Li Yuan said sarcastically: "I think he's recovered."
"Will there be any sequelae?" Hearing this, Li Yunqing walked over slowly.
He put his palms on the rock, exerted slight force, and did a somersault, landing firmly on the ground. He looked at Li Yunqing and scratched his head. Li Yuan said softly: "No, and I feel that my cultivation has improved a lot. When I escape the Liu family, Hunting him down, finding a place, and staying in seclusion for a year and a half should be able to raise his cultivation level to the peak of perfection."
"The Liu family has not found us, so the search intensity will not be reduced for the time being. If we want to completely avoid the Liu family's pursuit, I am afraid that we will have to fight hard with them." There was a chill in Li Yunqing's beautiful eyes.
"Then what should we do now? Where to go? There are too many Nirvana experts in the Liu family." Shi Chen walked over from the entrance passage of the cave.
Li Yuan said calmly: "Meteor City."
