Yunjun Temple.

In the courtyard where the members who participated in Xia Lin's victory lived, two shadows paced back and forth in the courtyard.

Since the opponents of the last two games, Haoxi and Mingze, had a duel today, the other Yuan in the courtyard were taken to Xia Lin Yuan Dao by the two elders.

"Qing'er, do you think Xiao Yuanzi will have an accident?" Yuan Yao tilted his head and asked in a low voice.

Li Yunqing stopped worrying and said softly: "It shouldn't be, there was such a big movement before, and Xiao Yuanzi didn't have an accident."

"And my Yuan Bone can vaguely sense that he is still in the north."

"Well, I seem to be able to sense it too. It's just that if there is none, it should be fine. With a slight bow, Yuan Yao seemed to suddenly become much calmer.

………

In the southern part of Xiayang City, there is an inn.

"Jing Huo Protector, just now there is a big battle of Nirvana powerhouses in the north of Xia Lin Academy, and there is follow-up news."

Mu Yuting sat in front of the window, picking up and putting down the teacup in her hand, back and forth several times.

Fingers tapped lightly on the table, Zhu Jinghuo's face was calm, and he said lightly: "It's not clear, I just went out to investigate and received a message from Wenxuan."

"According to what he has found, the two sides have been fighting for a short time, so no one knows exactly what happened."

Hearing this, Mu Yuting was stunned for a moment, and muttered: "The Wenxuan Protector of Thunder Sound Valley has not left Xiayang City yet?" ”

Zhu Jinghuo nodded and said, "There are many disciples in their valley who have come to participate in Xia Lin's victory, although there are other Dharma protectors secretly protecting them, but after all, this is under the control of Jinling Mountain.

"Every sect has a strong person in the late stage of Nirvana, and Lei Yin Valley is Gong Wenxuan.

"He's a guy who likes to have a good time in everything. According to the situation he went to investigate from the scene, one side used a burst bomb during the battle, and there were signs of lightning power, do you think he can not care.

"It's a pity that neither of the warring parties has left any traces that can be verified, and the scene has been deliberately vandalized."

"Thunder? Could it be ......" Mu Yuting's beautiful eyes turned and boldly guessed in her heart.

Zhu Jinghuo looked at Mu Yuting in front of the window: "I know what you want to say." Li Yuan has a lot of means and will not have an accident.

"Count the days, Diao Zhiyuan of Jinlao Mountain should be coming soon."

Mu Yuting turned around and sat down beside Zhu Jinghuo, and asked in a low voice: "Zhu Protector, what are the odds of winning against Diao Zhiyuan?" ”

Zhu Jing shouted: "I said before that even if we are both at the peak of the late stage of Nirvana, the gap between me and him is still not small.

"What's more, according to the information we have obtained, he has a vague tendency to enter the peak of consummation.

"If it weren't for Tao Dingyang's death, he would have returned to the Jinling Mountains by now and hit the pinnacle of consummation."

Mu Yuting's eyebrows showed a hint of solemnity, bit her jade lip lightly, and said, "Then Li Yuan's side ......"

"Although that kid has a lot of means, he is only a Yuan Dan realm after all, and he has no power to fight back in front of Diao Zhiyuan." Zhu Jing sighed.

Mu Yuting sighed lightly: "It's a pity that I haven't advanced to the late stage of Nirvana yet, and the disparity in strength is too great to take a few moves."

"Can you please the Wanyue Dharma Protector of Bihai Pavilion, she is also the peak of the late stage, or the Wenxuan Dharma Protector of Leiyin Valley. They join forces with you, and they should not be afraid to go far. ”

Zhu Jinghuo waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about this matter." It is related to the major affairs in the palace, Li Yuan can't have an accident, if Diao Zhiyuan comes, I will definitely try my best to protect him. ”

………

The Northern Jungle of the College of Charrain.

The blue figure sitting cross-legged on a giant tree slowly opened its eyes.

Looking up at the sky, there were already clouds in the west, and Li Yuan's body was full of Yuan power at the moment.

Unleashed his soul power, and explored the area within a radius of forty miles, except for some demon beasts, there were no Yuan Beings nearby.

His palms were propped up on the huge Shuya, and the vigorous energy rushed out of his palms, hitting Shuya, producing a powerful thrust, and his body shot violently into the sky.

A wisp of nine-colored divine light in the center of his eyebrows flew under the soles of his feet, and Li Yuan slightly used his Yuan Force and flew towards Yunjun Courtyard.

………

The night sky is dotted with stars, and the full moon hangs over the remnant clouds.

Li Yunqing and Yuan Yao, who had been in the courtyard for several hours, never returned to the house, and looked up at the north from time to time.

"Crunch—"

There was a knock at the door, and someone walked into the courtyard.

Li Yunqing and the two daughters hurriedly crossed the second gate and came to the outer courtyard, and at this moment, Li Yuan had already walked to the screen gate.

The big stone in their hearts finally fell, and Li Yunqing and Yuan Yao felt more tired than fighting.

The three of them went back to the house and chatted for nearly half an hour.

Fan Hongtao came back with Qin Chen and the others, and all three duels today have ended.

Li Yuan asked them about today's showdown.

He fought with the two Nirvana Realms of Jinlao Mountain, and the movement was too great, which directly caused the duel to be postponed for half an hour.

The first match of Haoxiyuan against Yuyiyuan, the latter did not face off two days ago, and the state of Haoxiyuan was much better than that of Haoxiyuan, and Haoxiyuan experienced a hard battle with Mingzeyuan yesterday.

The two courtyards fought inextricably, and in the end, Haoxi Courtyard still relied on Zuo Yuchen's outstanding performance and had the last laugh.

In the second scene, the Depth of Field Courtyard faced off against Qiyao Academy.

There was nothing interesting about this duel, and Qi Yaoyuan almost won the duel in a crushing way.

Today's final matchup is Haoyi Yuan vs. Mingze Academy.

Mingzeyuan planted a heel in the hands of Haoxiyuan yesterday, so even in the face of a team like Haoyiyuan, he did not slack off at all.

They went all out, finished the Haoyi Academy, and won the victory.

The result of four wins in five games made them closely behind Yunjun Academy.

………

Night.

"There's a guest coming."

Li Yuan was about to go to bed, but Ling suddenly reminded him, and he immediately frowned slightly.

Spirit continued, "It should be friend and foe. ”

Li Yuanyan breathed a sigh of relief, communicated briefly, and at the same time released his soul power to probe.

After half a ring, he casually said to the two women in the house, "You go to sleep first, and I'll go out." ”

"Xiao Yuanzi, what's wrong? Isn't it ......"

"Don't worry, it's not. If Diao Zhiyuan came, Zhu Jinghuo and Mu Yuting must be nearby, and they are not aware of their breath at present.

"I'll go back as soon as I go. There was too much commotion during the day, and the academy arranged for the elders to patrol in person. Once a strange Nirvana powerhouse enters the academy, Hou Han must know.

"This person can come and go freely in Xialin Academy, and he should have a good relationship with several deans of the academy during this time.

"There is a late stage of Nirvana, and his breath feels a little familiar to me, where should I have encountered it before."

After a brief explanation, Li Yuan opened the window and swept out, and then closed the window with a suction force without making any sound.

Out of the room, jumped on the eaves, and with a few taps of his toes, he was outside the small courtyard.

………

Five or six miles away from the courtyard, in the woods, on a huge rock, squatted a middle-aged man, with white hair naturally hanging down to his shoulders, dressed in a black strong coat, with a red pattern on his neckline and gauntlets.

The white hair and black clothes are very recognizable, and the style of clothing Li Yuan has seen before, which is similar to that of the disciples of the Imperial Sect.

"Meng Yi?"

Li Yuan frowned slightly, remembering one of the people who fought for the Tibetan blade in the Qian family's auction house before.

Could it be that the other party has always had thoughts about his hidden blade.

After thinking about it carefully, I felt that it was wrong, the other party was obviously just cheering up that day, and he didn't really want to take the knife.

What's more, this person controls the two systems of water and dark Yuan Force, and the Tibetan Blade can only be reduced to an ordinary top-grade royal weapon in his hands.

Suddenly, a huge demon beast appeared behind Meng Yi, with a body length of fourteen or fifteen zhang and a height of six zhang, which should have reached the late stage of the fourth level.

The beast's head resembles a wolf's head, with a pair of cyan pupils and long gray hair.

Above the wolf's head, there was also a cyan spiral horn, on which a cyan mist could be faintly seen.

The fur on the neck is not gray but cyan, and the mouth is surrounded by cyan fur.

The wolf-headed demon beast slowly walked to Meng Yi's side, not showing a hideous face, surprisingly gentle, and its eyelids seemed to be drooping.

"Li Yuan, you really have some ability, you can detect my breath from such a distance. I think I'm well hidden, but you're still discovering it. ”

Meng Yi stood on the rock, overlooking Li Yuan, his eyes flashing with sharpness.

Li Yuan raised his eyes, arched his hand at Meng Yi, and said lightly: "The protector of the Imperial Sect, I didn't come here so late to chat. ”

Hearing this, Meng Yi raised his eyebrows and hurriedly asked, "Do you recognize me?" ”

With a flip of his palm, the Tibetan blade appeared in Li Yuan's hand, stretched it forward, and said, "Are you here for it?" Ten times the price if you want. ”

"Little brother, I'm afraid you misunderstood me, I'm not here for Zangfeng. This knife is in your hands to exert its due power. ”

Hearing this, Li Yuan was stunned, and secretly thought in his heart that apart from the hidden blade, he should have no other intersection with Meng Yi.

Seeing that Li Yuan didn't speak, Meng Yi continued: "I really didn't expect that we would just grab a few lots in the auction hall, and you would be able to remember my breath clearly. No wonder Senior Sister Zhu asked me to protect you. ”

"Aoki Hall's Zhu Jing Hustle Protector?" Li Yuan confirmed.

"Exactly. Now in the vicinity of Xiayang City, there is no one else who is worthy of me to do this. ”

"Zhu Jinghuo has left Xiayang City?" Li Yuan didn't detect Zhu Jinghuo's aura around him, and at the same time slightly questioned Meng Yi's strength, after all, the other party was only in the late stage of Nirvana, "Do you know who will come to trouble me?" ”

Meng Yi grinned, knowing what Li Yuan meant, and responded: "She didn't leave Xiayang City, she was just paying attention to Diao Zhiyuan's movements. Although I am in the late stage of Nirvana, I have war beasts. ”

As he spoke, Meng Yi pointed to the demon beast next to the rock: "This is the Gray Beast, my war beast." ”

War beasts?

Li Yuan had heard Ling talk about it before, but he had never been able to see it with his own eyes.

The gray beast beside Meng Yi seemed to be no different from an ordinary demon beast.

Most of the Yuan people who have heard of the Eight Sects know that the Imperial Sect is famous for refining demon beasts into earth monsters, and it has a place in the Eight Sects.

But the Devil is lifeless.

And what is really powerful in the Imperial Ray Sect is not the secret method of refining the earth, but the secret method of forming a contract with a demon beast that has no yuan bones in the body, but has a little wisdom.

If there is no Yuan Bone in the body, but there are some spiritual demon beasts are very rare, they must reach at least the third level.

Usually able to form a contract, it is usually a fourth-level demon beast.

Even if there are tens of thousands of Nirvana powerhouses, there are only one hundred and one Yuan who have war beasts.

War beasts do not need to be controlled by soul power, and they have lived with the Yuan for a long time and have a tacit understanding.

When facing the enemy, it is equivalent to two meta beings attacking the opponent at the same time.

However, with the improvement of the cultivation of the Yuan, the war beast is very rare, and it is not easy to find another one, so the cultivation of the war beast must be improved.

In this way, the cultivation of other Yuan Masters only needs to consume the cultivation resources of the Yuan Beast itself, and the Yuan who has a war beast must also provide resources to improve the cultivation of the war beast.

Therefore, the speed at which this kind of Yuan Cultivator can improve his cultivation is even more difficult than that of a normal cultivator.

Even Meng Yi, who possessed a war beast, was probably not Diao Zhiyuan's opponent, who was already a powerhouse who was about to reach the peak of consummation.

After communicating for a long time, Meng Yi answered the question in Li Yuan's heart.

Meng Yi protected Li Yuan, just in case Zhu Jinghuo didn't grasp Diao Zhiyuan's whereabouts.

If nothing else, when Diao Zhiyuan finds Li Yuan, Zhu Jinghuo, Meng Yi and the Gray Beast will join forces.

Li Yuan originally thought that it was the protector of the Aoki Hall who assisted Zhu Jinghuo, but he didn't expect that it was Meng Yi of the Imperial Sect who came.

The two are from different sects, and it is rare to have such a good friendship.

Meng Yi didn't say it himself, and Li Yuan didn't ask about the relationship between the two.

"Wood girl, since you're here, let's show up!" Li Yuan suddenly shouted towards the other part of the woods.

"I don't know how you did it. We seem to be unable to hide from you. ”

A soft, helpless voice rang out from the woods.

Immediately afterwards, a figure in a pale green dress slowly walked out.

Li Yuan smiled slightly, not aware of Zhu Jing's noisy breath, and immediately asked, "Zhu Protector didn't come?" ”

Mu Yuting bowed slightly.

Meng Yi looked sideways at Mu Yuting and said in a deep voice: "Yuting girl! I heard that you have hit the mid-term barrier. The last time I was in the auction house, I wanted to ask you why you didn't retreat and cultivate and break through in one fell swoop. But you're in too much of a hurry. ”

Mu Yuting said: "I just feel that the barrier is loose, and it will take time to break through."

"When Xia Lin finishes winning the championship and goes back with the disciples in the hall, he will retreat, and I don't know how long it will take."

On that day, Mu Yuting left before the end of the auction in order to chase Li Yuan.

Smacking his lips, Meng Yi sighed and said, "I really don't dare to compare with you sect masters."

"When you advance to the late stage, I'm afraid I won't be your opponent. A hundred years longer than you, good for nothing. ”

Mu Yuting said: "Senior Meng, don't make fun of Yuting, compared to you, I'm still far behind."

"Seniors in the Imperial Sect are very few Yuan Masters who can form a contract with war beasts.

"How can I compare with you, your strength is comparable to the peak of the late stage of Nirvana.

"Don't use the word Tianjiao on me, I am far from those Tianjiao in the temple."

Li Yuan didn't expect Mu Yuting to be so modest, but thinking about what she said was also true, she couldn't treat Meng Yi as an ordinary late stage of the Nirvana Realm.

"Is it that Miss Mu is here, Diao Zhiyuan has already arrived in Xiayang City?" Li Yuan frowned and asked.

Shaking her head gently, Mu Yuting slowly walked towards Li Yuan, and said in a calm tone: "I really don't know if he came to Xiayang City or not." But be careful.

"According to our intelligence estimates, Diao Zhiyuan should almost arrive.

"Zhu Protector has no whereabouts of him at the moment, so I came over to take a look.

"He shouldn't be in the academy, so as long as you don't leave the Xia Lin Academy, it's safe."

Hearing this, Li Yuan rubbed his chin with one hand, looked at Meng Yi and Mu Yuting, pondered for a moment, and arched his hand: "Meng Protector, Mu Girl, you are guarding here, how can Diao Zhiyuan show up."

"You go to the Donglin Mountain Range, two hundred miles east of the academy, and I will go over to meet you when the time comes."

Li Yuan knew that since Meng Yi was here, Aoki Hall would naturally not let him have an accident, this was to fight with Diao Zhiyuan for him.

If Meng Yi and Mu Yuting had been appearing near him, not to mention Diao Zhiyuan, even the eyeliner who collected news for Jin Lingshan would not act rashly.

"Is that okay?" Mu Yuting said worriedly.

Li Yuandao: "There will be three more duels behind Yunjun Academy, and I will all play."

"If Diao Zhiyuan's hidden danger is not driven away, I will not be sure.

"When I will lead him to the Donglin Mountains, it will be up to you to drive him away.

"Miss Mu, please also wish the Dharma Protector to go to the Donglin Mountain Range, the two of you should not be Diao Zhiyuan's opponent when they join forces."

Seeing that Li Yuan was so resolute, Mu Yuting didn't argue anymore, and Meng Yi thought that Li Yuan's words were not unreasonable.

After chatting a few more words, Meng Yi and the two went straight to the Donglin Mountain Range.

After seeing the two leave, Li Yuan thought carefully.

Diao Zhiyuan should have arrived in Xiayang City, and it was near the academy.

After pondering for a moment, he planned to see if he could find the other party.

Glancing around the woods, he went straight back to the courtyard.
