Fan Hongtao and Du Danlu said goodbye to Qin Yongtian and Mei Xuan, and flew back to their residences.

And Mei Xuan and Qin Yongtian turned into two long rainbows and swept towards Xiayang City.

The two talked happily all the way.

Haoxiyuan lost the duel, Mei Xuan was not affected much, and Li Yuan undoubtedly played a key role in this.

Entering Xiayang City, just after the central king city, they parted ways and said goodbye.

The Qin family is in the western urban area, while Mei Xuan's Yunliu Chamber of Commerce is in the southwest urban area.

The two districts are next to each other, so since Xia Lin won the championship, the two of them have also been discussing the alliance in private.

They all knew that Wan Xianyun of the Wanmeng Chamber of Commerce had fallen.

The Yunliu Chamber of Commerce needs the supply of materials from the Jingyang Chamber of Commerce, and it naturally has certain advantages in having a good relationship with the Qin family.

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.

At present, the Qin family could only get some low-priced high-quality pills from the Alchemist Guild in Xiayang 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.

The Qin family has always had friction with the Wanmeng Chamber of Commerce, and the relationship is not good.

Since the Yunliu Chamber of Commerce can replace the Wanmeng Chamber of Commerce, the future development is limitless.

In terms of elixir, it can naturally be supplied to the Qin family first.

Both sides have their own calculations, and cooperation and alliance are a matter of course.

………

In the middle of the night, the wind was blowing.

Li Yuan, who finished his cultivation, eliminated the fatigue caused by the duel.

If the last game is successfully won, it can end this time Xia Lin won the championship early.

Winning the top spot will allow everyone to enter the cultivation treasure land of the Eight Sects.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan was in a good mood.

After thinking about it for a long time, I lay down and slowly closed my eyes, ready to fall asleep.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes suddenly, his brow furrowed slightly, and with a leap of fish, he ejected from the bed.

The footsteps bowed slightly, and landed lightly on the floor without making a sound.

"Could it be that the Wood Girls are back?" Li Yuan muttered to himself.

The soul power spreads, probing the surrounding area of the small courtyard, and then denying the previous thoughts.

There is the breath of a Nirvana powerhouse outside, but it is much weaker than Mu Yuting, and it should only be the peak cultivation of Nirvana in the early stage.

Retracted his soul power, opened the door, walked to the corridor, looked around the courtyard, and finally looked at the room where Li Yunqing and Yuan Yao were.

Slightly lifted, his body jumped a few times, and 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 stayed, stood a short-haired middle-aged man in armor, with a black cloth covering the lower half of his face, a long knife straddling his waist, and his right hand holding the hilt.

The short-haired middle-aged man exuded a cold aura from his body, causing murderous intent to fill the surroundings of the woods, directly threatening his life.

Same environment, same woods, same location.

This person gives Li Yuan a completely different feeling from Meng Yi, so he is not friend or foe.

Sensing this person's aura in the small courtyard, Li Yuan immediately became vigilant.

Along the way, the soul power enveloped the nearby area.

Within a radius of five miles, except for the Yuan of Yunjun Academy, there is only one such outsider, and the Nirvana Realm is this one.

"You are indeed surprised that the person who led Yunjun Academy to seven consecutive victories was able to detect my existence."

Li Yuan's soul realm is so powerful, not to mention that there is a treasure in his body.

It was confirmed that the other party was only the peak of the early stage of Nirvana, and there was even a gap between him and Wan Xianyun, which was also the reason why Li Yuan dared to come alone.

Looking at the middle-aged man in armor quietly, Li Yuan asked, "Who is Your Excellency?" Why are you spying on me here? What is the purpose? ”

"There's no purpose, I just want you to disappear."

The middle-aged man smiled, paused, and continued, "Oh, and the woman next to you." ”

"You're from Mingzein?" 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 the black cloth.

The middle-aged man snorted coldly and said, "Mingze Academy? No, no, you're mistaken.

"But you reminded me. After killing you, you can make a fortune from the supporters behind Mingzeyuan. ”

"Are you really going to kill us?" Li Yuan's pupils shrank, and he took a step back, pretending to be extremely scared.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? I don't understand what I just said. The middle-aged man scoffed.

Li Yuan said helplessly: "Your Excellency wants to kill me, I think there is no possibility of escape."

"Since I didn't come here for Mingzeyuan, please tell me who is going to kill me, so that I can also die."

The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and said, "Seeing that you are so happy, I am not afraid to tell you that it was His Royal Highness Eighth Highness who sent me to kill you." ”

Hearing this, Li Yuan carefully recalled that he had not offended the people of the Great Xia royal family, and he had never heard of the Eighth Highness that the other party said, why did he kill their husband and wife.

It stands to reason that if Yunjun Yuan wins the leader, it will also be the outcome that the Great Xia royal family is most willing to see.

After all, the team of Yunjun Academy can barely represent Great Xia.

The other eight academies of this session have nothing to do with Great Xia.

The middle-aged man looked at Li Yuan, who had not spoken for a long time, and also guessed that Li Yuan had a question in his heart, and immediately said, "You don't have to think about it." The Eight Highnesses I'm talking about are not the princes of Great Xia, but the Eight Highnesses of the Great Yan Dynasty. ”

The Great Yan Dynasty, the first dynasty of the Qinggu Continent, its strength can already be regarded as the existence of a third-rate force on the continent.

Why did the other party target them, Li Yuan analyzed slightly, and the only thing that was related was the Qinglin Heart Armor on Li Yunqing's body.

"Looks like you're thinking about something." The middle-aged man smiled, "The Qinglin Heart Armor is my Great Yan's thing, His Royal Highness was young and ignorant, and he accidentally lost this treasure."

"I've been looking for more than 20 years, and I haven't heard any news, but I didn't expect to accidentally find this treasure in your hands today."

Li Yuan finally understood that the reason why Yan Zhong was distracted in the duel square was that he recognized Qinglin's heart armor.

He is a powerhouse at the peak of the Yuan Dan Realm, or a disciple of Bihai Pavilion, so he won't even forget about crushing the jade plate.

"Yan Chong, who appeared on behalf of Haoxi Courtyard, is the Eighth Highness of the Great Yan Dynasty!" Li Yuan asked.

The middle-aged man said, "You are indeed very smart. It seems that you already know the origin of Qinglin's heart armor.

"No matter how you got the Qinglin Heart Armor, but you know that it is my Great Yan's thing, and you still dare to take it for yourself, you have some courage and courage.

"But that's not enough. In this world, strength is respected.

"Although you are a little weaker than those Eight Sect Heavenly Arrogant who got up and conceived a first-class Yuan Bone, but at the age of fifty, you can reach the peak of the Yuan Dan Realm Consummation, and in this remote Great Xia, it is not bad, and you are qualified to die at my hands."

Li Yuan sneered, looked around, and said coldly: "You really want to do it here?" Don't forget, this is the inner courtyard of Charling College.

"Once there is a movement, the Nirvana powerhouse of Xia Lin Academy will arrive immediately, and you may not be able to leave the academy."

Hearing this, the masked middle-aged man laughed twice, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "I really didn't expect you to dare to come alone."

"What about this academy? I have been ordered to come and kill you, and I have made all the preparations.

"Do you think someone at the Summer Academy will notice what I'm doing to you?

"You're naïve, you're still too young after all. Don't worry! No one will know what happened tonight.

"Don't you think the silence around you is terrible?"

Even though it's late at night, there are usually patrols from the academy, and occasionally there are voices coming out.

During Xia Lin's victory, the academy strictly controlled the fights between the academy masters and punished them heavily.

But in other respects, it is more relaxed than usual, so there are many places to meet in the evening.

These days usually don't disperse until after the fourth watch.

Seeing Li Yuan's frightened appearance, the masked man stretched out his left hand, and there was a half-foot-high, five-petaled dark golden lotus flower in his hand, which was a little weird.

"This thing is called the Five Treasures Dark Lotus Cup, and the next grade is Xuanbao. I can set up an enchantment within a radius of ten miles, and I can only urge one or two percent of the effect now, but it is enough.

"Within a radius of two miles, no fight will be known to the outside world." The masked man looked at the lotus flower in his hand and said proudly.

After a brief introduction by the other party, Li Yuan continued to take a few steps backwards, looking flustered.

The masked man threw the Five Treasures Dark Lotus Bowl into the sky, and the treasure was suspended in the air, and the nearby space could be faintly seen rippling.

"In front of the powerhouses of the Nirvana Realm, it is impossible for the Yuan Dan Realm to escape." The masked man let out an eerie laugh.

Indeed, the peak of the early stage of Nirvana and the peak of the Yuan Dan Consummation, although it is only a level difference, when fighting, the advantage of the Nirvana realm is obvious, and there is a world of difference in speed.

That's the difference between realms.

Taking the Imperial Weapon as an example, there is a difference of about ten times between the ultimate speed of the Yuan Dan Realm and the Nirvana Realm.

………

Yunjun Temple.

Yuan Yao and Li Yunqing, who were lying on the bed, suddenly opened their eyes, and the two sat up suddenly, glanced at each other, and looked around the room.

"Xiao Yuanzi has an accident!"

"Xiao Yuan has an accident!"

The two exclaimed almost simultaneously, a strong uneasiness churning through their hearts.

To be precise, the connection between the Yuan Bone in their bodies and Li Yuan was broken.

With the improvement of cultivation, especially after Li Yuan survived the Heavenly Tribulation, the connection between the Yuan bones gradually weakened, and sometimes it was even impossible to sense.

But there has never been such a fear as it was at this moment.

As long as Li Yuan didn't deliberately hide his breath, he would have mutual feelings within ten miles.

Now they can't determine Li Yuan's location through the induction between the Yuan bones.

The three of them, counting Cangyu, are four.

Within ten miles, they can all feel the existence of the other party, this is not a soul power investigation, but a Yuan Bone instinct.

Now he couldn't feel Li Yuan's existence at all, as if he had lost something in his heart.

There is only one possibility for this feeling, and that is that Li Yuan may fall.

Li Yunqing's face was full of anxiety, but Yuan Yao calmed down a little and comforted: "Don't worry, I'm fine now, it means that Xiao Yuan is still alive." Let's go out and find out first. ”

The reason why the little girl is so calm is because Ling said that if Li Yuan encounters an accident, she will also fall.

Seeing that Yuan Yao didn't seem to be talking nonsense, Li Yunqing's heartstrings relaxed a little, and said, "Look for it inside and outside the courtyard." ”

The two got up, rushed out of the room, and came to the ear room, but they didn't see Li Yuan's figure.

He came out of the ear room, jumped on the roof, and probed the whole courtyard, but found no trace of it, and swept out of the small courtyard.

………

Dim woods.

The masked man in armor, his right hand released from the hilt of the knife at his waist, made a posture of holding his chest with both hands, raised his chin, and shouted at Li Yuan: "Boy, you are doomed to die tonight, what other last words do you have?" ”

Li Yuan slowly ran Yuan Li, preparing to face the battle, but did not respond to the other party.

"Qinglin's heart armor has been used by that woman for so long, it should have been broken into thousands of pieces.

"If you are caught, when I kill her, I can make her suffer less."

Seeing that the other party still didn't respond, the masked man was a little annoyed: "Do you really think that if Yunjun Academy wins seven games in a row, you have the qualifications to challenge the Nirvana Realm?"

"You have to be clear that there is a gap between the Yuan Dan Realm and the Nirvana Realm that is difficult to cross."

As he spoke, the mouth under the black cloth grinned, as if he regarded Li Yuan as his plaything: "Then I'll play with you first, and then kill you." ”

Although he said this, a Yuan Dan Realm ignored him like this, he was extremely angry, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he didn't say anything more.

"Uhhh

The masked man with his hands on his chest jumped up from the rock with great speed.

He pulled out the long knife on his waist in mid-air and slashed at Li Yuan, and the dark knife shadow flew out.

The moonlight from the sky could hardly penetrate the woods, and the forest was dim, and the dark shadows of the swords looked even more eerie.

Li Yuan immediately made a decision, the Yuan Force in his body surged, moved sideways, let go of his body, and flashed behind a giant tree not far away.

"Boom-"

The sword shadow struck the position where Li Yuan was before, and 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, did not intend to choose to hide all the time.

After dodging the knife, he took out the hidden blade from the ring, and the blade arced blue and silver like flames, and slashed at several large trees next to the masked man.

"Boom, boom—"

Suddenly, several large trees were cut off and pressed directly against the masked man below.

There is no choice for a direct attack because the opponent reacts quickly and is difficult to hit.

Retreat to the next best thing, and attack with side objects, which is more certain.

Several giant trees collapsed, burying the masked man's figure and sending dust flying.

Li Yuan did not attack again, but retreated again and again, trying to distance himself as much as possible, so that he who was good at bows had an advantage.

"Bang-"

The fallen trees exploded abruptly, and the armored figure slowly emerged from the dust, and the black cloth on his face fell off his face, revealing his true face.

The armored man sneered and slowly walked out of the exploding trees, surrounded by the black Yuan Force, and the fallen trees did not hurt him.

"Drink—"

With a loud shout, the armored man formed a claw with five fingers on his left hand, and with a claw on a tree trunk more than three feet thick on the ground, the twenty-zhang long tree was directly picked up, and moved sideways in the direction of Li Yuan, and then pushed his hand and hit it straight out.

Li Yuan, who was standing in the distance, his eyes narrowed slightly, holding up the Tibetan blade, and immediately chopping the flying trees.

"Whew-"

The thunder blade tore the tree into two petals and flew past its sides.

With the help of trees as cover, Li Yuan continued to retreat backwards, pulling a long groove on the ground.

The distance widened, Li Yuan stabilized his body slightly, and cast the Lei Yuan Arrow Array.

"Boom-"

Countless thunderbolts fell in the sky, and the middle-aged man looked up, his brows furrowed slightly, and in an instant, he formed a Yuan Force shield to resist.

His radius of twenty or thirty zhang was all shrouded in thunder, grass and trees flew sideways, and the mountains and forests resounded.

The dust and grass covered a large area, and a look of surprise appeared in the eyes of the armored man, and the black defensive shield he formed actually cracked, obviously underestimating the power of Li Yuanyuan's technique.

"Bang-"

After a few breaths, the shield of Yuan Li, which had been attacked by continuous thunder, shattered, and the last few thunderbolts bombarded the armored man.

If you don't have a black Yuan Force protector on the surface, you will definitely be able to damage it.

The blue-silver arc flickered 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, but he was a little uncomfortable, and he consumed a lot of Yuan power in order to resist the Yuan Shu attack.

However, as a Nirvana powerhouse, the strength of the Yuan Force in the body is by no means comparable to that of the Yuan Dan Realm, which is a realm advantage.
