Fan Hongtao and Du Danlu said goodbye to Qin Yongtian and Mei Xuan and flew back to their respective residences.
Meixuan and Qin Yongtian turned into two rainbows and swept towards Xia Yang City.
The two chatted happily along the way.
Haoxiyuan lost the duel, and Mei Xuan was not affected much. Li Yuan undoubtedly played a key role in this.
Entering Xia Yang City, they parted and said goodbye just after passing the central royal city.
The Qin family is in the western city, while the Yunliu Chamber of Commerce where Mei Xuan is located is in the southwestern city.
The two cities are close to each other, so since Xia Lin won the championship, the two have been discussing an alliance in private.
They all know that Wan Xianyun of the Wanmeng Chamber of Commerce has died.
The Yunliu Chamber of Commerce needs material supplies from the Jingyang Chamber of Commerce, so having a good relationship with the Qin family will naturally have certain advantages.
There are many treasure refiners in the Qin family, and Mei Xuan plans to help sell ingots.
For the Qin family, a large number of pills are indispensable for family development.
Currently, the Qin family can only get some low-priced high-quality elixirs from the Alchemists Guild in Xia Yang City.
No matter how good the relationship with the guild is, the resources obtained are limited. After all, the guild has to balance the forces of all parties.
There has always been friction between the Qin family and the Wanmeng Chamber of Commerce, and the relationship is not good.
Since the Yunliu Chamber of Commerce can replace the Wanmeng Chamber of Commerce, its future development is limitless.
In terms of elixirs, they can naturally be given priority to the Qin family.
Both sides have their own plans, and cooperation and alliance will be a matter of course.
………
In the middle of the night, the wind blew violently.
After training, Li Yuan has eliminated the fatigue caused by the duel.
If the last game is successfully won, Xia Lin's victory this time can be ended in advance.
Winning the leader will allow everyone to enter the eight sects' treasured cultivation land.
Thinking of this, Li Yuan was in a good mood.
After thinking for a long time, he lay down and slowly closed his eyes, preparing to fall asleep.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes suddenly, frowned slightly, and jumped up from the bed.
The steps were slightly arched and landed gently on the floor without making a sound.
"Is it Miss Mu and the others who are back?" Li Yuan said to himself.
The soul power spread out, exploring the surroundings of the small courtyard, and then denied the previous thoughts.
There is the aura of a Nirvana strongman outside, but it is much weaker than Mu Yuting. She should only have the peak cultivation level in the early stage of Nirvana.
Withdrawing his soul power, he opened the door, walked to the corridor, looked around the yard, and finally looked at the room where Li Yunqing and Yuan Yao were.
With a slight boost of energy and a few leaps, he swept out of the small courtyard and came to the woods where he had met Meng Yi before.
On the rock where Meng Yi had been, stood a short-haired, middle-aged man in armor, with a black cloth covering the lower half of his face. He had a long knife across his waist, holding the handle of the knife with his right hand.
The short-haired middle-aged man exuded a cold aura, making the surrounding woods filled with murderous intent, directly threatening lives.
Same environment, same woods, same location.
This person gave Li Yuan a completely different feeling from Meng Yi, so he was an enemy rather than a friend.
Sensing this person's aura in the courtyard, Li Yuan immediately became vigilant.
Along the way, the soul power enveloped the nearby area.
In a radius of five miles, apart from Yuan Zhe of Yunjun Academy, there is only one outsider like this, and this is the one who is in the realm of Nirvana.
"As expected of the person who led Yunjun Academy to seven consecutive victories, you are actually able to detect my existence. You really surprised me."
Li Yuan's soul realm is so powerful, not to mention there is a treasure in his body.
Confirming that the other party was only at the peak of the early stage of Nirvana, and even far behind Wan Xianyun, was also the reason why Li Yuan dared to come alone.
Looking quietly at the middle-aged man in armor, Li Yuan asked: "Who is your Excellency? Why are you monitoring me here? What is your purpose?"
"It has no purpose, I just want you to disappear."
The middle-aged man smiled, paused, and continued: "Oh, and the woman next to you."
"You are from Mingzeyuan?" Li Yuan asked.
As soon as these words came out, he felt a sneer appear on the corner of the other party's mouth covered by black cloth.
The middle-aged man snorted coldly and said: "Mingzeyuan? No, no, you are mistaken.
"However, you reminded me. After killing you, I can make a fortune from the supporters behind Mingzeyuan."
"Do you really want to kill us?" Li Yuan's pupils shrank and he took a step back, pretending to be extremely scared.
"Aren't you talking nonsense? You still don't understand what you just said." The middle-aged man sneered.
Li Yuan said helplessly: "Your Excellency wants to kill me, and I think there is no possibility of escape.
"Since you are not here for Mingzeyuan, please tell me who wants to kill me so that I can understand clearly."
The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and said, "Seeing how happy you are, I'm not afraid to tell you that it was His Highness the Eighth Prince who sent me to kill you."
Hearing this, Li Yuan thought carefully and found that he had not offended anyone from the Daxia royal family. He had never heard of the Eighth Prince mentioned in the other party's mouth, so why he wanted to kill them and his wife.
Logically speaking, if Yunjun Yuan wins the title, it will be the outcome that the Daxia royal family is most willing to see.
After all, Yunjun Academy's team can barely represent Daxia.
The other eight houses in this session have nothing to do with Daxia.
The middle-aged man looked at Li Yuan, who had been silent for a long time, and guessed the question in Li Yuan's mind, and immediately said: "You don't have to think about it. The Eighth Highness I am talking about is not the prince of Daxia, but the Eighth Highness of the Yan Dynasty. "
The Dayan Dynasty, the first dynasty in the Qinggu Continent, was already considered a third-rate force on the continent.
Li Yuan briefly analyzed why the other party was targeting them, and the only thing that was related was the Qinglin Heart Armor on Li Yunqing.
"It seems that you have remembered something." The middle-aged man smiled, "The Qinglin Heart Armor is my Great Yan's. His Highness the Eighth Prince was young and ignorant, so he accidentally lost this treasure.
"I have been looking for it for more than twenty years, but there has been no trace of it. I didn't expect that today I accidentally found this treasure in your hands."
Li Yuan finally understood that the reason why Yan Zhong was distracted in the duel square was because he recognized the Qinglin Heart Armor.
After all, he was a strong man at the peak of Yuan Dan Realm and a disciple of Bihai Pavilion, so he wouldn't even forget about crushing the jade token.
"Yan Zhong, who represents Haoxiyuan, must be His Highness the Eighth Prince of the Yan Dynasty!" Li Yuan asked.
The middle-aged man said: "You are indeed very smart. It seems that you have known the origin of the Qinglin Heart Armor for a long time.
"No matter how you got the Qinglin Heart Armor, you still dared to take it for yourself even though you knew it belonged to me, Dayan. You have some courage and courage.
"However, these alone are not enough. In this world, strength is respected.
"Although you are weaker than those eight geniuses who have first-class Yuan bones, but you can reach the perfect peak of Yuan Dan realm at the age of fifty. In this remote Great Xia, you are considered good, and you are qualified to die in my life." In hand."
Li Yuan sneered, looked around, and said coldly: "Do you really want to take action here? Don't forget, this is the inner courtyard of Xia Lin College.
"Once there is any movement, the Nirvana experts from Xia Lin College will arrive immediately. I'm afraid you won't be able to leave the college."
Hearing this, the masked middle-aged man laughed twice, his eyes flashed coldly, and he said coldly: "I really didn't expect you to dare to come alone.
"So what if this is an academy? I was ordered to come here to kill you, so I was fully prepared.
"Do you think someone at Xia Lin College will notice that I'm attacking you?
"You are naive, you are still too young after all. Don't worry! No one will know what happened tonight.
"Don't you think the silence around you is terrifying?"
Even though it was late at night, there were usually patrols from the college, and occasionally there were voices.
During the time Xia Lin won the championship, the academy strictly controlled and punished fights among the academy members.
But other aspects are more relaxed than usual, so there are many places to gather in the evening.
These days, everyone usually disperses after the fourth watch.
Seeing Li Yuan's horrified look, the masked man stretched out his left hand. In his hand was a half-foot-tall dark golden lotus flower with five petals, which was a bit strange.
"This object is called the Five Treasure Dark Lotus Lamp, a low-grade mysterious treasure. It can set up a barrier within a radius of ten miles. I can only activate one or two percent of the effect now, but it is enough.
"Within a radius of two miles, any fight will not be known to the outside world." The masked man looked at the lotus in his hand and said proudly.
After a brief introduction, Li Yuan continued to take a few steps back, looking panicked.
The masked man threw the five-treasure dark lotus lamp into the sky, and the treasure was suspended in the air, and ripples could be vaguely seen in the nearby space.
"In front of a strong man in the Nirvana realm, it is impossible to escape from the Yuan Dan realm." The masked man let out a weird laugh.
Indeed, although the difference between the peak of the initial stage of Nirvana and the peak of Yuan Dan is only one level, when it comes to fighting, the advantages of Nirvana are obvious, and there is a huge difference in speed.
This is the difference between realms.
Taking the imperial weapon as an example, there is about a tenfold difference in the ultimate speed between the Yuandan realm and the Nirvana realm.
………
Yunjun Courtyard.
Yuan Yao and Li Yunqing, who were lying on the bed, suddenly opened their eyes. They sat up suddenly, looked at each other, and then looked around the room.
"Something happened to Xiao Yuanzi!"
"Something happened to Xiao Yuan!"
The two of them exclaimed almost at the same time, and a strong uneasiness surged in their hearts.
To be precise, the vague connection between the Yuan bones in their bodies and Li Yuan was broken.
As his cultivation level improved, especially after Li Yuan passed through the heavenly tribulation, the connection between his Yuan bones gradually weakened, and sometimes he could not even sense it.
However, I have never been as scared as I am now.
As long as Li Yuan doesn't deliberately hide his aura, they can sense each other within ten miles.
Now they cannot determine Li Yuan's position through the induction between Yuan bones.
The three of them, including Cang Yu, are four.
Anyone within ten miles can feel the presence of the other party. This is not soul power detection, but Yuan bone instinct.
Now I can't feel Li Yuan's presence at all, as if something is missing in my heart.
There is only one possibility for this feeling, that is, Li Yuan may fall.
Li Yunqing's face was full of anxiety, but Yuan Yao was calmer and comforted: "Don't worry, I'm fine now, which means Xiao Yuan is still alive. Let's go out and look for it first."
The reason why the little girl is so calm is because Ling said that if anything happens to Li Yuan, she will also fall.
Seeing that Yuan Yao didn't seem to be making nonsense, Li Yunqing felt a little relieved and said, "Look carefully inside and outside the yard."
The two stood up, rushed out of the room, and came to the penthouse, but did not see Li Yuan.
He came out from the penthouse, jumped up to the roof, and explored the entire courtyard. He couldn't find any trace of him, so he rushed out of the small courtyard.
………
Dark woods.
The masked man in armor released his right hand from the handle of the knife at his waist, made a gesture with his arms folded across his chest, raised his chin, and shouted to Li Yuan: "Boy, you are destined to die tonight, why are you still here?" Any last words?"
Li Yuan slowly circulated his Yuan Power, preparing to fight, but did not respond to the opponent.
"The Qinglin Heart Armor has been used by that woman for so long, it should have been broken into pieces.
"If you just go ahead and capture her, I can make her suffer less when I kill her."
Seeing that the other party still didn't respond at all, the masked man was a little angry: "Do you really think that Yunjunyuan has won seven games in a row, so you are qualified to challenge the Nirvana Realm?
"You have to understand that there is an insurmountable gap between the Yuandan realm and the Nirvana realm."
As he said that, the man under the black cloth smiled widely, as if he regarded Li Yuan as his plaything: "Then I will play with you first, and then I will kill you."
Although he said so, he was extremely annoyed that a Yuandan realm ignored him, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said no more.
"Shua——"
The masked man with his arms crossed jumped up from the rock very fast.
He drew out the long knife from his waist in mid-air, slashed at Li Yuan, and the dark knife shadow flew out.
The moonlight shining from the sky could hardly penetrate the woods. The forest was dark, and the dark knife shadow looked even weirder.
Li Yuan made a decisive decision, and the energy in his body surged. He moved sideways, got out of the way, and dodged behind a giant tree not far away.
"boom--"
Where Li Yuan was before the sword hit, a big tree surrounded by two people behind him broke and collapsed in an instant.
Li Yuan, who was hiding behind a tree in the distance, had no intention of staying in hiding.
After avoiding the knife, he took out the Hidden Edge from the Yun Ring. A blue-silver flame-like electric arc appeared on the blade, and it slashed at several big trees next to the masked man.
"Boom boom boom——"
Suddenly, several large trees were cut in half, pressing directly onto the masked man below.
I didn't choose to attack directly because the opponent reacted quickly and was difficult to hit.
The next best thing is to use side objects to attack, which is more reliable.
Several giant trees suddenly collapsed, burying the masked man's figure and causing dust to fly.
Li Yuan did not attack again, but retreated continuously, trying to keep the distance as much as possible, so that he, who was good at bows and weapons, would have an advantage.
"Bang——"
The fallen trees suddenly exploded, and the armored figure slowly emerged from the dust. The black cloth fell off his face, revealing his true face.
The armored man sneered and slowly walked out of the exploding trees, surrounded by black Yuanli Pilian. The falling trees did not cause any harm to him.
"drink--"
With a loud shout, the armored man turned the five fingers of his left hand into claws, pointed at a tree trunk more than three feet thick on the ground, and directly lifted the twenty-foot-long tree, moved it sideways in the direction of Li Yuan, and then pushed his hand forward. Knocked straight out.
Li Yuan, who was standing in the distance, narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his hidden blade high, and chopped down the flying trees.
"laugh--"
The thunder knife force tore the tree into two pieces and flew past both sides of the body.
Using trees as cover, Li Yuan continued to retreat backwards, pulling out a long groove on the ground.
With the distance widened, Li Yuan stabilized his body slightly and used the Lei Yuan Arrow Formation.
"boom--"
Countless thunderbolts fell from the sky. The middle-aged man looked up, frowned slightly, and instantly formed a shield of energy to resist.
The entire area of 20 to 30 feet around him was shrouded in thunder, grass and trees flew everywhere, and the mountains and forests roared.
Dust and vegetation covered a large area, and a look of surprise appeared in the armored man's eyes. The black defensive shield he formed had cracks, obviously underestimating the power of Li Yuanyuan's technique.
"Bang——"
After a few breaths, the Yuanli shield shattered under the continuous thunder attack, and the last few thunder bombarded the armored man.
If there is no black elemental force protection on the body, it will definitely be injured.
The blue-silver arc flashed on the surface of his body but did not sink into his body.
The armored man's face was extremely ugly. Although he was not injured, he was a little uncomfortable. He spent a lot of energy to resist the Yuanju attack.
However, as a Nirvana powerhouse, the level of Yuan Power in his body is by no means comparable to that of the Yuan Dan Realm. This is the advantage of the realm.
