When rumors were flying in the sky outside, Hong Yuan was meditating and cultivating in the Hong Mansion, impacting the bottleneck in the late stage of the Quartet Realm.

There is nothing to say about the battle with Hua Yueye, the gap is too big, and it is not an opponent to show a huge Dharma body and lead the Blood Bat King, Hong Python and others to go together, but the battle with Ximen Flying Fox has touched Hong Yuan a lot.

In that battle, he won by surprise with his strong body, and suddenly rushed out of the snowy mountain and put a vampire sickle on the neck of Ximen Flying Fox. Although he won, in retrospect, Hong Yuan found one of his shortcomings, and when he met a real master, his cultivation was still too weak. If Simon Flying Fox was a little smarter, or a little more experienced in combat, maybe he would have lost. Ximen Flying Fox is not only powerful in cultivation, but also unique in swordsmanship, and the power of the Ice and Snow Sword in his hand is amazing.

"Suddenly met the Ximen Flying Fox who returned from studying in the Western Regions, and almost lost, and even suffered a heavy blow, and then went to the Tenglong Mountain Range?"

"The territory of the Hualong Empire is vast and capable, and the Dragon Blood Legion is even more powerful, what should I do if I suddenly encounter a master who is more powerful than Ximen Flying Fox?"

Hong Yuan's heart was heavy, and he couldn't be optimistic about the next battle of the Tenglong Mountain Range. If you can break through to the late stage of the Sifang Realm, then of course it is the best, and you will have more ability to settle down on the fierce battlefield, but unfortunately, you can't do it in a hurry. In the later stage of cultivation, the progress is getting slower and slower, there are no opportunities or guidance from masters, and it is difficult to break through a small bottleneck.

There was no hurry in cultivation, and Hong Yuan had no shortcuts, so he could only continue to cultivate patiently.

In the evening, the Blood Bat King reported two good news, and Tuoba Hongyan, the young owner of the Cloud Mist Pavilion, sent someone to secretly send a large number of pills. Although most of them are the most basic Yang Blood Pills, it is a relief for Hong Yuan, and it is this most basic pill that is needed in large quantities on the battlefield. When you arrive in the Tenglong Mountains, what you are most afraid of is not an encounter, but an injury. Without enough pills to heal the wounds, both the Hong family army and the war pet army will have a large number of casualties.

Another piece of good news is that Ghost Five and Nightfall have finally heard from them, and they have reached a hundred miles away, and it is estimated that they will be able to rush to the temporary camp outside Yelong City before dawn and settle down. In addition to the many Ghost Face Riders accompanying him, there was also a group of strange people who were successfully recruited from all over the Alliance, and there were not many of them, but everyone had extraordinary abilities. None of the people who can be on Zhao Xuemin's roster are mediocre people.

"My lord, when are we leaving?" the Blood Bat King asked.

Now, the healing elixir is available, and the ghost five and others have also rushed back, and the army is basically ready.

"Before it's time, you go to Bao Chihu and ask him how things are ready. ”

Hong Yuan instructed that the army was ready to set off, but there was one crucial thing that was not yet good, and that was the weapons and equipment of the Daredevil warriors. Compared with the black and white peony refined by Lishui Niang and the Yang Blood Pill sent by Cloud Pavilion, the weapons and equipment that Bao Chihu helped refine were more important. When it came to the Tenglong Mountain Range, the Night Demon Grand Commander Nightfall and the three thousand Night Demon Warriors led by him were the absolute main force, and they were also the killer weapon to resist the Dragon Blood Warriors, and it was impossible for Hong Yuan to let the Night Demon Warriors continue to fight with their bare hands.

It is absolutely unforgivable to have such a warrior under his command who does not know how to love and give full play to their combat effectiveness!

Time was in a hurry, and it was too late to go back to the Endless Abyss to collect more and more powerful demon beasts, and the only thing Hong Yuan could do was to improve the combat effectiveness of the existing troops.

"Good!"

The Blood Bat King bowed down to receive the order, closed the door and turned into a small bat, flapped his wings and rushed into the night sky, and went to find Bao Chihu in person. He didn't know what Hong Yuan had Bao Chihu prepare, but Hong Yuan must have a deep meaning in doing so.

Seeing the Blood Bat King go away, Hong Yuan got up and left the room, put on a wide hat and pretended to be a wandering swordsman, and quietly left Hong Bat through the back door.

With a meow, the big fat cat suddenly rushed out of the darkness and jumped on Hong Yuan's shoulder.

"Keep eating, little one, and you won't be able to walk. ”

Hong Yuan patted the big fat cat's fat buttocks, identified the direction and quietly left, and went straight to the Seven Nights Inn in the city.

After Broken Leaf City parted, he never saw his aunt Liu Ruyan and the ghost servants again, and he didn't even hear from them. Now, I am about to go to the Tenglong Mountain Range, I don't know when I will be able to come back, Hong Yuan misses his aunt even more, and he has to see his aunt no matter what before leaving.

The situation on the front line is grim, and the army of the Hualong Empire may march straight into the city at any time, but the Night Dragon City is still singing every night. After nightfall, many small towns are already quiet, but Night Dragon City is still lively, even more lively than during the day, and many people who are used to the lights and wine do not come out until night. On the streets, delicate and luxurious carriages drove by from time to time, and the laughter of men and women came from the bead curtains, mixed with the smell of rouge, tobacco and alcohol.

"Some people are fighting for the Alliance, the Horse Leather Shroud, and some people are spending their days drinking, and there are people who are drunk today!"

Hong Yuan shook his head, pressed the big hat on his head and walked faster and faster, and before he arrived at the Seven Nights Inn, he heard a familiar sound of the piano, which was like a stream flowing down an iceberg, like a clear stream flowing into the noise of the world.

It's an aunt!

Sure enough, she was at the Seven Nights Inn and came back from outside!

Hong Yuan's eyes lit up, and his steps became faster. It didn't take long for him to come to the door of his aunt Liu Ruyan's room, and as soon as he raised his hand to knock on the door, his aunt's voice came from inside, "Yuan'er, don't knock, come in." ”

"Auntie!"

Hong Yuan pushed the door in, looked at Liu Ruyan who was sitting by the window and stroked the piano, and couldn't help but be happy in his heart, leaving all his troubles behind.

"Well, I've grown taller and I've tanned. Yes, our family is becoming more and more like a man who stands up to the sky. Liu Ruyan looked Hong Yuan up and down, smiled faintly and revealed two small dimples, and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Auntie, where have you been all this time?" Hong Yuan asked, a little uneasy on the road, worried that something had happened to his aunt. Now, I was relieved after seeing Liu Ruyan.

"Went on a trip to the Endless Abyss. Liu Ruyan replied, concisely and to the point, as if she didn't want to say more.

Hong Yuan's heart was stunned, and he quickly remembered the Nine Dragon Stone Pavilion that had fallen into the depths of the Endless Abyss, and he didn't dare to ask more. looked around, and accidentally saw a bag of quaint fragments pressed under a sheet music sheet on the desk, exuding wisps of familiarity, all of which turned out to be fragments of the Ten Thousand Beasts Tower. Sweeping it at a glance, there are not a thousand pieces but eight hundred pieces, and I am afraid that most of the Ten Thousand Beast Towers can be pieced together.

My aunt is also collecting the fragments of the Tower of Ten Thousand Beasts?

Did she know something, too?

Hong Yuan was taken aback, and only then did he realize that his aunt seemed to have a lot of secrets that he didn't know.

"Yuan'er, how is this time?" asked Liu Ruyan.

"Fortunately, I completed a few tasks and settled down in Night Dragon City. ”

Hong Yuan replied and said, "By the way, auntie, I have a manor in Night Dragon City, and I have personally cleaned the room for you, so I will move there tonight, how about it?"

"No, I'm living well here, those manors are too luxurious to live in. Yuan'er, of course it's good to have achievements, but be careful not to be proud, and always be vigilant and cautious with outsiders. Otherwise, if you succeed ninety-nine times, you will never recover if you fail once!" Liu Ruyan reminded Hong Yuan, it seemed that he had already known about Hong Yuan's promotion to the Night Dragon Warrior, not only was he not excited, but he seemed to be a little worried, "By the way, do you have a girl from any favorite family?"

"Nope. Hong Yuan replied, he wanted to take the opportunity to tell him and Zhao Xuemin in front of Liu Ruyan, but after thinking about it, he forgot it, and felt that it was still early.

"Really, not a single one?" asked Liu Ruyan again.

"There really isn't, Night Dragon City is very big and there are a lot of people, but no matter whether it's a small family or a lady, none of them are as beautiful as an aunt. Hong Yuan smiled.

"You know that you are so similar, you are exactly the same as your father when he was young. ”

Liu Ruyan was a little distracted, then sighed, and said lightly: "It's best if you don't have it, some women are born to harm people, the more beautiful they are, the more harmful they are." Yuan'er, stay away from those beautiful women, don't be fooled by their sweet words, remember them. ”

"Well, got it. ”

Hong Yuan nodded, and he didn't dare to say anything about Zhao Xuemin, he vaguely felt that his aunt was a little strange, as if there was something in his words, but he didn't think much about it, "By the way, auntie, what about the ghost servant, why didn't you see him?"

"I asked him to do something and he won't be back in a few days. ”

Liu Ruyan replied lightly, caressing the strings, "Tenglong Mountain Range is not a good place, if you can't go, you won't go, you really have to go, safety first." is still the same sentence, don't enter the temple, don't save when you die. In the history of the alliance, there are few Night Dragon Warriors who have a good end, either dying at the hands of a strong enemy or dying under the sword of their own people. The beautiful and luxurious manor is enviable, but it is also a place for people to fall, status and beauty and reputation are all a false dream, we should not indulge in such a world, nor do we belong to this world. Hong Yuan, now that you have officially stepped into the threshold of cultivation, you must understand the true meaning of cultivation, and you must always stay awake in the turbid world of red dust, understand?"

"Hmm. ”

Hong Yuan didn't seem to understand, and when he saw his aunt Liu Ruyan lowering her head and stroking the qin, she didn't dare to ask more, so she turned around and stepped back lightly. Knowing that my aunt didn't want to move to Hongfu, she left the Seven Nights Inn alone.

The sound of the piano lingered far away in the darkness.

Hong Yuan gradually drifted away in the sound of the piano, after seeing his aunt, he finally had no worries, and as soon as the weapons and equipment refined by Bao Chihu arrived, he could set off, and he could concentrate on preparing for the next battle in the Tenglong Mountain Range. Unconsciously aware of it, a pair of eyes watched him go farther and farther.

Liu Ruyan didn't know when she was standing by the window, the sound of the piano sounded penetrating, but her gaze was cold, colder than the gaze of the alliance giant Hua Yueye, like the stars that existed forever in the sky, cold without the slightest emotional fluctuation.
