(On the first day, the list of new books was only third, and the results were much worse than before, so Futu had to continue to harass and bomb the officials~)

Xia Yuan chose to set off immediately, not only because of the urgency of time, but also because he was a little worried.

Maybe Xu Zhiying didn't feel it, but Xia Yuan saw something clearly.

The strong men who assassinated him before were inseparable from the Sun family and Zhang Guang. But the real contribution should be the Black Tiger Gang!

The Black Tiger Gang is the ruler of the underground forces in Yangcheng, although it makes people shameful, but its strength is undoubted.

The Black Tiger Gang has existed for more than ten years, not only has it not been exterminated, but it has become more powerful, if you want to say that they have nothing to do with the City Lord's Mansion, the ghost will not believe it.

Coupled with the perfunctory attitude of the City Lord of Yangcheng today, Xia Yuan was even more convinced.

He knew that after he showed his strong potential, the city lord of Yangcheng would definitely give him an explanation, but this explanation was definitely not an existence like Zhang Guang and the head of the Sun family!

Now, he has completely antagonized himself to the City Lord's Mansion, and if he continues to stay, it will be extremely dangerous.

While everyone now thinks that they are still making choices, it is safest to leave without knowing it.

As for revenge...

That's for sure, but definitely not now.

Xia Yuan's head didn't twitch, so he naturally knew that the City Lord of Yangcheng was an absolute behemoth compared to him.

Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is to improve one's cultivation, once the strength is improved, then what is the value of a mere Yangcheng city lord...

Dressed up in disguise and bringing all the valuable things from home, Xia Yuan stepped on the moonlight and left quietly...

...

Yangcheng is not close to the Qilian Mountains, so Xia Yuan chose to hurry with all his might.

With the support of a huge heart, the supply of power can completely offset the loss, so Xia Yuan is always moving at a high speed.

Day and night, he exerted his speed to the extreme, and a day later, Xia Yuan entered the Qilian Mountains.

When he arrived here, Xia Yuan's speed slowed down, because he knew that there was danger everywhere in the Qilian Mountains, although he had been here before, but he was with the old man at that time.

Xia Yuan didn't know how strong the old man was, but he was definitely countless times stronger than his current self.

With the old man here, naturally there is nothing to worry about, but now that he is left, he naturally has to be careful.

Although cautious, Xia Yuan's speed was also very fast, and in just half a day, he had already bypassed the outer area and directly entered the core area of Qilian Mountain.

The Qilian Mountains can be called the forbidden land of the Dusty Empire, because of the existence of this core area, at most there are some wild beasts on the periphery, and ordinary Taoists can easily pass through, but this core area is different.

In the core area, there are a large number of demon beasts, and there are even many demon marquis!

You must know that the demon marquis and the earth-level Taoist master are of the same level, and because the demon beast is born with rough skin and thick meat, plus the demon beast at the demon marquis level, it is born with natural supernatural powers, so in the same level, the demon marquis is more powerful than the Taoist master!

Of course, the most dangerous thing in this core area is not these demon beasts, because in the face of demon beasts, as long as you know some methods, you can still get around.

What is really dangerous are the naturally occurring forbidden places.

If you accidentally walk into those forbidden places, you will really fall into one of the bones.

Standing on the periphery of the core area, Xia Yuan did not rush into it, but sat down and repaired for a long time. For the next two days, he needs to be at his best.

Taking out the prepared dry food, Xia Yuan ate it with disgust on his face.

"I don't know how the food in the first school of the empire is, I don't think it's too bad..."

Looking at the shriveled grain in his hand, Xia Yuan thought longingly.

"It should be possible to traverse the core area in one day, and the remaining day can be completed as planned. ”

In Xia Yuan's plan, it would take two days to pass through this core area.

"When you leave the forbidden land, you should be able to get to Shengdu in a day, just sign up for the assessment of Yuantian Road. ”

Yuantianlu, this is also heard from Xu Zhiying.

As the first school in the empire, Yuantian Academy naturally didn't want to enter it.

Entering it, there are two paths.

The first is that the qualifications are sufficient!

Yuantian Academy only accepts Tianjiao, which means that only by becoming a Dao Spirit Master can you be qualified to enter Yuantian Academy.

Of course, entering the academy in this way are only some preparatory students, and only after passing the assessment in the subsequent study can they be regarded as real academy disciples.

And in addition to this normal path, there is another path.

That's the source of the heavenly road!

Someone once said that only the students who have walked the Yuantian Road are the real students of the Yuantian Academy!

It was an extremely difficult road, murderous and dangerous, and the slightest carelessness would lead to a fall.

Generally, Tianjiao exists, and if the background is not enough, then it may be broken on the source heaven road.

However, once you have walked through the Source Heaven Road, it is completely different!

Not only do you immediately become an official student of Yuantian Academy, but you can even get the position of an elite student!

Elite students can be regarded as the real disciples of Yuantian Academy, and only when they reach elite students, Yuantian Academy will make great efforts to cultivate.

Therefore, after knowing the Source Heavenly Path, Xia Yuan had already set his goal on it.

Half a day's recuperation allowed Xia Yuan to quickly return to his peak state.

Without wasting any more time, Xia Yuan walked into the core area.

However, after entering the core area, Xia Yuan did not continue to move in the direction of Shengdu, but spared a corner, not that Xia Yuan was lost, it was because Xia Yuan was going to meet an 'old friend'...

After going around and back, after avoiding the territory of several demon marquis, Xia Yuan finally came to a dense forest.

When he arrived here, Xia Yuan didn't have to be careful, because his 'old friend' was the king of this territory.

"Stupid cat, your Uncle Xia has come to see you..."

As soon as he walked into the dense forest, Xia Yuan was there shouting.

In the woodland, countless birds and birds soar.

Xia Yuan waited for a long time at the edge of the woodland, but he didn't see his 'old friend' appear.

frowned slightly: "This stupid cat won't fight with the demon again, right..."

Xia Yuan, who was familiar with the character of this stupid cat, shook his head helplessly and walked into the woodland by himself.

Following the familiar path in his memory, Xia Yuan soon arrived in front of a huge cave.

"Stupid cat, are you at home?"

shouted twice, but there was still no response, at this moment Xia Yuan was finally confirmed, so he no longer hesitated, and went directly into the cave.

Xia Yuan knew that no matter where he fought, the stupid cat would definitely come back before sunset.

Therefore, Xia Yuan is also willing to waste some time and wait here.

Sure enough, without waiting long, there were footsteps at the mouth of the cave.

Xia Yuan stood up and accidentally touched the stone wall, making a noise.

"Roar—"

Suddenly, a loud roar came from outside the cave.

The next moment, a huge figure appeared in front of Xia Yuan.

That's the Nether Tiger, a terrifying demon beast at the level of a demon marquis!

It's just that there is something wrong with the state of this Nether Tiger at this moment, there are countless wounds on Zhou's body, and some are still bleeding.

Seeing this Nether Tiger, Xia Yuan didn't have any surprised color, and after the Nether Tiger saw Xia Yuan, there was no longer a vigilant color in his eyes.

The Nether Tiger stared at Xia Yuan with wide eyes, and Xia Yuan looked at the Nether Tiger.

The big eyes stared at the small eyes, and then one person and one tiger spoke at the same time.

"Why is it that every time I see you, you are beaten by demons..."

"Why every time I meet you, I am beaten by demons..."

atmosphere, and awkwardness.

Xia Yuan coughed lightly.

"I said stupid cat, you were beaten by other demons again?"

After discovering that his uninvited guest was Xia Yuan, the Nether Tiger also relaxed.

After hearing Xia Yuan's words, the Nether Tiger stood up suddenly, his eyes furious, "Get out, what do you call again!"

"Careless, careless, don't you understand!"

The Nether Tiger is also a little depressed, he is the king of this area, he can be called an invincible existence, he has never been the only one who beats the demon, how can there be a demon when he beats him.

But sometimes, things are like this, and when he encounters this scourge three times, he is beaten by other demons three times.

And this is also the only three failures in the life of the Nether Tiger.

Xia Yuan shrugged his shoulders helplessly. "Okay, okay, whatever you say is okay..."

Xia Yuan rolled his eyes.

When he and the old man came to this core area, the stupid cat was being beaten to death by other demon beasts, and the old man seemed to see something and rescued it.

And a few months later, when they returned from outside and passed through the core area again, the Nether Tiger was beaten by other demons.

It was still the old man who intervened and saved the dying Nether Tiger.

This time, it's the third time...

The Nether Tiger was still glaring at Xia Yuan: "What are you looking at!"

Xia Yuan pursed his lips and wanted to reply to look at you, but he thought that this time he was asking for a demon, so he didn't talk back after all.

"By the way, what about the benefactor?"

Xia Yuan knew that the benefactor in the mouth of the Netherworld Tiger was the old man.

"Three years ago, after leaving the master, I didn't know where to run..."

There was a change in human nature on the face of the Nether Tiger, which was called-

Gloat.

"It seems that the benefactor can't stand your evil nature anymore, hehe..."

Xia Yuan glared at it disdainfully.

Seeing that Xia Yuan ignored it, the Nether Tiger was also a little bored, and walked to Xia Yuan's side and lay down.

"Say, what are you doing here to find Bendi. ”

And this stupid cat Xia Yuan didn't want to talk nonsense.

"I'm going to get through this core area as soon as possible, but I'm too slow, so I'm not coming for you..."

Xia Yuan rubbed his hands together, with a sinister smile on his face.

Although the Nether Tiger seemed to be seriously injured, Xia Yuan knew that these were superficial, and with its physique, this was not a problem at all.

"I knew that you never thought of me when you had good things. ”

As he spoke, the Nether Tiger stood up.

"Come on. ”

Although during that time, he and Xia Yuan often lost each other, but a deep friendship was also formed between a man and a beast, and the Nether Tiger would not refuse this trivial matter.

Xia Yuan was not polite, and climbed directly onto the back of the Nether Tiger.

With Xia Yuan with him, the Nether Tiger rushed directly towards the outside of the dense forest...

"By the way, stupid cat, who are you going to fight again this time?"

"I beat you so badly, it seems that the other party's strength is not weak. ”

Xia Yuan knew the strength of the Nether Tiger, although the level was not high, but its bloodline was extremely strong, among the demon beasts, it was comparable to the Dao Spirit Master among the Dao masters, and it belonged to an almost invincible existence of the same level.

"It's the old goat of Tanglin..."

Xia Yuan recalled for a moment, and finally remembered who the old goat was.

"Great, go provoke it, you haven't been beaten to death yet, count yourself lucky. ”

Xia Yuan turned his back, and the galloping Nether Tiger tried to roll his eyes.

"But then again, why are you messing with it?"

The Nether Tiger was slightly silent, and just when Xia Yuan thought it didn't want to answer, the Nether Tiger's voice sounded.

"It's not because of that Jiang Zilan..."
