When cultivating, time always flies, and soon, a month passes.

On this day, before dawn and before the night has yet to disperse, people will walk through the streets and alleys with torches and flock to the Triumph Square in the center of the city. The huge and magnificent Triumph Square has long been crowded. This square is said to have been built by the people of Broken Leaf City hundreds of years ago to commemorate the triumphant return of the ancestors of the Ye family who went out of the city to eradicate the demons that raged in the wild.

On the edge of the square, there is a triumphal platform more than ten meters high, which is the ring where the masters of Broken Leaf City used to compete, and it is said that the ancestors of the Ye family have inspected the elites of Broken Leaf City for generations. Now, this ancient tradition is long gone, the Triumph Terrace is still the Triumph Terrace, but the Ye family is no longer the Ye family of the past, although there is still a huge power in the Broken Leaf City, but it is no longer the overlord of the Broken Leaf City.

Today is the day of the traditional hunting challenge in Shattered Leaf City, and people are rushing to it.

On the triumphal stage, all the people with heads and faces in Broken Leaf City came. Seeing that the hour was almost up, Ye Feilong, the second master of the Ye family, commanded, and the chief manager Yue Qingshan stood out, spread out a list of flowers in his hand, and read it out loud.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after discussion from all parties, there are 327 people in this hunting challenge, which will last for three days. ”

"Ye Tiangao, Ye Feng, Liu Ziqian, Liu Ziming, Hong Yuan......"

Yue Qingshan's temples were gray, he was already a little older, but he had enough energy, and his voice spread far away from the whispers of the people in the audience. Hearing his name, one by one the young people flew up to the high platform, this is the elite of the younger generation of Broken Leaf City, the elite of each family, and also represents the future and hope of Broken Leaf City, all of them are full of spirit. Ye Tiangao and Liu Ziming happened to be standing together, glanced at each other, and turned their faces away with a cold snort.

More and more people jumped on the high platform, neatly lined up in several rows, a touch of fish belly white appeared in the sky, and they were about to set off, and the atmosphere on the Triumph Square was warm. Offstage, Ye Rou, who was standing in the crowd, became anxious, and she didn't see Hong Yuan's figure for a long time, "Why haven't you come yet?"

Ye Rou was anxious and worried, thinking of the bloody handprint on Hong Yuan's chest, even if he devoured the spiritual power in his body, who knew if it would have any other effects on his body?

"Hong Yuan, have you arrived......?"

On the high platform, Yue Qingshan also frowned, repeatedly calling Hong Yuan's name, and his voice became louder and louder.

There was some commotion in the crowd, and there was a lot of discussion, and even the big people sitting on the high platform began to talk to each other. The number of places in the hunting challenge is limited, according to the old rules, Hong Yuan is not qualified to participate, he is not a direct descendant of the Ye family, and his cultivation is mediocre and he has not even opened the spirit treasure; however, for the sake of the Ye family, it is not good for other families to oppose it in person. But who would have thought that with such a good opportunity, Hong Yuan would not be seen for a long time, he was timid?

"This kid has long said that he shouldn't be allowed to participate, it's a waste of places!" Master Tang Fu also sat on the high platform, his face gloomy. During this time, although no definite evidence was found, he became more and more sure that it was related to Hong Yuan and Liu Ruyan. Thinking of the three-headed hellhound that had been defeated, his heart was dripping blood.

Hmph! Ye Feilong's face also sank, it wasn't for the third brother's strong request, of course he wouldn't let Hong Yuan participate in this hunt. However, in order to reconcile with the Liu family, he made a good idea to marry the third brother's daughter Ye Rou to Liu Ziming, and the third brother made such a request, and it was difficult for him to refute it. Now, if Hong Yuan doesn't come by himself, it just crosses out his name, so he can't blame himself.

Looking up at the sky, Ye Feilong sneered, found an upright reason, and was about to call the chief manager Yue Qingshan over to give a few words, when suddenly he saw a familiar figure in the distance.

Hong Yuan came, walked over unhurriedly, dressed ordinarily, not wearing extraordinary robes or armor like the others, and hanging from his waist was an ordinary or even worn out simple knife. However, what is surprising is that the relaxed freehand between walks seems to have endless power in his body, his pupils are flashing with rare purple light, and his eyes give people a sharp and a little evil feeling, as if everything is under his control.

This kind of look made Ye Feilong can't help but think of the powerful demon beasts in the depths of the abyss of death, which he couldn't see clearly, couldn't fathom, and felt very uncomfortable.

Demonic awe-inspiring!

When people were about to leave, Hong Yuan finally came, calmly. In the body, the original three spiritual power cyclones had all collapsed, and they were swallowed up by the blood handprints, and they were replaced by three purple demonic power cyclones, the darker the color, the more refined and huge the power contained. For nearly a month, Hong Yuan did his best to collect vampire bats and ghost-faced long-winged phoenix butterflies, and his efforts paid off, accumulating power in a way that no one could have imagined. Compared to the original, the signs of breakthrough were even more obvious, and it felt like only a thin last layer of window paper was left before the spirit treasure was completely opened.

Ye Rou greeted him and said angrily, "Hong Yuan, you are finally here." ”

"I'm sorry, I overslept and almost forgot. ”

Hong Yuan smiled and walked up to the high platform step by step.

"Okay, the people have arrived, I declare ......"

Yue Qingshan announced loudly, and before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly narrowed his eyes.

In the distance, a horse-drawn carriage suddenly came galloping, and the sound of the piano was curling.

Liu Ruyan also came, but did not show up, the carriage stopped at the edge of the square, only the ghost servant who drove the car walked down, walked like the wind and quickly came to Hong Yuan, handed Hong Yuan a package and turned to leave. Hong Yuan opened the package, and there was a note inside, three brocade bags, and a battle armor as thin as light gauze. On the note was the handwriting of my aunt Juanxiu, 'When you are in danger, open the first bag, when you are in danger, open the second bag, and save your life in the third bag.' ’

"Silkworm Armor?"

Yue Qingshan exclaimed, and then closed his mouth tightly. The masters of the major families looked at it, their eyes were also surprised, envious, and even hot, the silkworm armor is definitely a peerless treasure in the battle armor, it is said that every piece of the city is sky-high. No one thought that Liu Ruyan, who lived a simple and simple life, would have such a treasure in his hand and gave it to Hong Yuan, who had cultivated to a mediocre level.

The ghost servant returned to the carriage and galloped away with the carriage, Liu Ruyan did not show up, but Hong Yuan's heart was warm. When it came to participating in the hunting challenge, he didn't tell Liu Ruyan that he was afraid of her opposition, and he didn't want her to worry, but Liu Ruyan still knew, and asked the ghost servant to send such a treasure early in the morning. He is no stranger to this silkworm armor, and he knows that Liu Ruyan has been wearing it on his body, and it is her talisman baby.

"Auntie, thank you. Don't worry, I'll definitely come back alive!" Hong Yuan put away the note, the sachet, and the silkworm armor.

Everything was silent, and he didn't need to say much, he knew what his aunt Liu Ruyan meant.

"Everyone, drop a drop of essence blood on your life card, let's go!" Yue Qingshan announced loudly, and behind him, the guards pushed out a stepped wooden table, on which stood nine rows of tokens, each with each person's name engraved, and a pillar of smoke erected in front of each token.

No matter who you are, entering the abyss of death is a life of nine deaths, and if the smoke of the burning three lives is extinguished, it means that a person has died in the abyss of death, and his soul is scattered.

Ye Tiangao was the first to walk up, and his luck forced out a drop of essence blood, and the three-life smoke in front of the token suddenly burned by itself, rising in a curling green smoke. Then, he walked up to Yue Qingshan and took a lantern, turned around and strode away, the first to sweep in the direction of the abyss of death. Liu Ziming followed, and Liu Ziqian and others followed one by one.

Hong Yuan walked at the back, waved his hand far away at Ye Rou, who was standing in the crowd, and strode away.

"Hong Yuan, you must come back alive, you must live. ”

Ye Rou muttered, her nose was sour, there were many people standing around, she couldn't bear it and didn't want to cry in public, but she endured it, she endured it, looked at Hong Yuan's head and didn't look back, and in the end, she still burst into tears. For some reason, she had a bad premonition in her heart, feeling that she was getting farther and farther away from the flood abyss, and she would never be able to go back to the old days.
